Hi I'm currently developing a .NET library (not a control), and considering how to provide a combined "development" and freely run-time deployable licencing scheme to work with it.

I find that using the following: TreeViewItem i = sender as TreeViewItem; if(i != null){ ... } is easier to write and understand than: if(sender.GetType() == typeof(TreeViewItem)){ TreeViewItem i = (TreeViewItem)sender; ... } Are there compelling reasons not to use the first construct? ...

For certain file operations we use VB6's PropertyBag object to convert various items to a bytearray via the Content property. We then save the bytearray as part of a binary file. Later when we load the file we read back the file, read in the bytearray and reconstitute the item by using the propertybag's readproperty. We use this a lot to...

Usually my methods are as the following: public List<int> Method1(int input) { var output = new List<int>(); //add some items to output return output; } But FxCop advises another IList implementation instead of List, but I can't remember which.

I have publicised a Java method as a Web Service and I use the Web Service Explorer in Eclipse to invoke it and it works as expected.
