On a clean machine with Office 2003 installed, it does not seem to be possible to get the add-in component to load in Word. Googling the issue suggests that this is because the assembly is not trusted. I gave the assembly full trust using ...
I'm encountering a problem while trying to serialize a multi-dimensioned array of integers via XmlSerializer for an XNA project I'm working on. I'm able to serialize all of my other data (booleans, strings, even Colors, etc) without a hitch. I've also seen plenty of people claim that XmlSerializer will natively handle (single-dimension...

Hello: I am writing an administrative script, and I need to calculate the size of files on disk. These files are on a compressed NTFS volume. I can't use FileInfo.Length, because that is file size and not size on disk. For example, if I have a 100MB file, but it is only using 25MB due to NTFS compression, I need my script to return...
