For whatever reason, if my query returns more than 200 records, I only get 200 from IEnumerable.Count(). I've even tried using IEnumerable.LongCount() (even though the number of results shouldn't be high enough to need it). I've also verif...

I use Stylecop for Resharper and whenever I call something in my class, Stylecop tells me to use This. But the IDE says this is redundant code (which it sure is), so why should I use this? Does redundant code mean its not needed (obviously) and the compiler won't even do anything with the this keyword? So I assume the this keyword is ju...
Does assigning an unused object to null in Java improve the garbage collection process in any measurable way? My experience with Java (and C#) has taught me that is often counter intuitive to try and outsmart the virtual machine or JIT, but I've seen co-workers use this method and I am curious if this is a good practice to pick up or on...
In an ASP.Net application, I need to send some data (urlEncodedUserInput) via http POST to an external server in response to user input, without holding up the page response. It doesn't matter what the response from the other server is, and I don't care if the request fails sometimes. This seems to be operating fine (see below) but I'm c...
