We're a development shop that still does most of our development in .net 2.0. We're starting to think about using some of the new things in 3.5 (LINQ, etc) and there are some other software packages we're looking at that need WPF and so on. We'd like to get 3.5 up and running on our test server, but without wrecking any of the 2.0 site...
I have a complex WPF UserControl made of other ContentControl templates which contain sets of buttons, textfields, and other elements. The parent UC is focusable so I have a style with a property trigger to update (gratuitous OuterGlowBitmapEffect) when the UC has focus. However when the user clicks or tabs to any of the buttons inside ...
When I retrieve any Scalar value from the database, I usually write code like this for nullable fields. cmd.ExecuteScalar() == DBNull.Value ? 0 : (int)cmd.ExecuteScalar() But I don't like it because it executes the Executescalar statement twice. It's an extra trip to the server for my website and in favor of performance I don't want t...

I'm really new to ASP.Net Mvc, but not new to Asp.Net. I was aware of all of the HtmlHelper class, but I was having problems with ecoding issues using Html.ActionLink. I asked a question here and got an answer right away about using the UrlHelper class, which I had no idea even existed. My question is, are there other classes like this ...

I'm in the process of refactoring an application and I've decided to use a mobile/embedded database. I've been reading about SQL Server Compact Edition, but I was wondering if any of you knew of any other databases that could be used and don't have huge download sizes, as my current application is about ~2MB (installer). SQLite would be...
Hi, I am getting this exception when disposing an OdbcDataReader just after retrieving data from the database. The reader is actually disposed while leaving a Using block. This should not be causing any errors as far as I know. Any ideas? System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an ind...

I'm using TIBCO RV .NET API (TIBCO.Rendezvous.dll). Do you know if there is a better way, in term of performance, to receive and read messages from a RV channel in C#? I found the Message type - the logical wrapper over a RV message - being quite heavy. Getting a field by name or by index could be pretty slow, especially when we consid...

I've created a user scoped setting with the type "System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary". Whenever I open the local settings, I can see it in the config, but it's empty. I have other user settings that save correctly, but this dictionary doesn't seem to be saving at all. Is there something I need to do in order to get a dict...
