I'm using some generic classes as data containers, and am using them to pass data to and from a wcf service. Because of the way WCF mangles generic names on the client side into a class named something like "ListOfBlah231546797646", I'm adding a reference to the real assembly as a "KnownType". Silverlight needs to consume these service...

Many people here are probably familiar with one of Joel Spolsky most popular blog posts, Please Sir, May I Have a Linker, where he cries out for a way to remove dependencies on the .NET framework so a stand-alone application can be developed and sold. Jason Zander of the Visual Studio development team, at the time, replied with his view...
Start with three variables, all are System.DateTime. a: 10/2/2009 2:30:00 PM b: 10/2/2009 2:30:00 PM c: 10/2/2009 2:30:00 PM Compare them to each other. a=b: True b=c: True c=a: True Ok, we have established that all three dates are equal. So when we convert them all to Universal time, we will get the same result. Right? a.ToUniver...

My specific case in point is the simple opening of a text file (classic first section of any IO chapter). Most bo...

Please glance over my code and help me to solve th...
My latest contract project successfully concluded a couple of weeks ago, and I've been pounding the job sites looking for new work. It's been six or seven years since I last really looked at these sites, so maybe the phrase, ".NET Programmer," or variants, has come to mean something. But, danged if I know what! My primary language is C#...
