Best options for implementing my own Transaction provider
I'm using a remote 3rd party storage solution that does not have support for transactions. I want to implement my own pseudo-ACIDity in .NET for this solution by simply attempting to rewrite/delete non-failing Entity inserts/update to get to an old-data-but-good-data state when other inserts/updates fail inside a transaction context. I...

Different mscoree.dll entry points on the desktop & on a device?
In a smart device project I'm trying to Pinvoke a function that should supposedly be available in mscoree.dll. The associated definition is as follows: [DllImport("mscoree.dll", EntryPoint = "#29")] internal static extern int Object_GetHashCode(object obj); You'll find this with Reflector in the internal class EE in mscorlib.dll.

What's the best way of working with an artist on a WPF application?
I'm about to finish the core components of my application and I'm willing to change gears soon and do a bit of GUI programming. From the beginning I decided to write a WPF-based application for two reasons: a) I want my application to be visually stunning and 100% skineable. b) I completely suck at designing user interfaces and then som...
DataContract vs. XmlType
As part of trying to learn WCF, I am reading up on serialization. I am struggling to understand how I can control serialization in .NET 3.5. For instance, I have a simple class with a few public properties. By adding the DataContract attribute to that class, I can for instance control the namespace and the name of the class as it is seri...
How does the option type work in F#

DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo( destinationDir ); if( ( directoryInfo.Attributes & FileAttributes.Compressed ) != FileAttributes.Compressed ) { string objPath = "Win32_D...
Library for simulating HTTP transactions like a browser with cookie and session support
I wonder if there is a .NET library that mimics a browser in terms of HTTP transactions. In other words I am going to make multiple GET/POST requests and I want the cookies to be persisted to a storage, so that consecutive request will be identified by the remote host. AFAIK cURL has support for this functionality. ...
Detecting AutoArchive Settings/Store in Outlook 2007
I want to write a simple Outlook 2007 AddIn that allows me to manually Auto-Archive mails. That is, I right-click a mail, select Auto-Archive and it gets moved into my Archive folder. Unfortunately, I do not seem to be able to detect which one is the Archive Storage. I know that Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").Stores is a list of all m...
.NET Application Load Optimizations
Working on .NET gives me good performance in general for the application itself but the initial load times for my application are quite large. A lot of it goes towards loading assemblies which is difficult to gauge. Are there any optimizations that I can apply to my assemblies to make them faster to load without involving the GAC or Ng...
Extract xml comments for public members only
I'm using xml comments to document public as well as internal and private members of my components. I would like to package the generated documentation xml files with component assemblies in order to enable "rich" (e.g. with method, exceptions and parameter descriptions) Visual Studio Intellisense with the end product. The problem with i...
Tracking undisposed Disposable objects
Is there a tool that can scan your code and determine which objects that implement IDisposable are not being disposed in a code base at compile time or runtime? I have possible areas in the code that are not disposing objects but it's hard to look back and see which objects require this in the first place. ...

ClassFactory cannot supply requested class 0x80040111 Error: -2147221231
Using Visual Studio 2008 I first encountered this when trying to open a standard save file dialog box in visual basic. So far I've worked around it after fruitless searching.

I'm looking for a framework to simplify the creation of a website with social networking features and plenty of custom functionality.
