I've seen several articles/blog posts that advocate the use of the System.Web.Caching.Cache in applications that are not for the Web, however, the MSDN documentation quite clearly states that The Cache class is not intended for use outside of ASP.NET applications. It was designed and tested for use in ASP.NET to provide caching for ...
Microsofts Framework Design Guidelines define, among other things, the following: "Do capitalize both characters of two-character acronyms, except the first first word of a camel-cased identifier" So there is an exception defined for acronyms that comprise of only two letters, since acronyms with three or more letters are "proper...
I just got a heaping pile of (mostly undocumented) C# code and I'd like to visualize it's structure before I dive in and start refactoring. I've done this in the past (in other languages) with tools that generate call graphs. Can you recommend a good tool for facilitating the discovery of structure in C#? UPDATE In addition to the too...

We use calculated columns in a few SQL Server 2005 tables which always return data of a specific type (bit, varchar(50), etc...).

Admin users can add HTML content to a website via a CMS textbox control. When this content is displayed to a website visitor, I'd like to identify the presence of a HTML table (added by a Admin user using the CMS) and display an option for visitors to export that table.

Essentially what I want to do is copy a WebBrowser object such that I can do the equivalent of "Open In New Tab" or "Open In New Window" actions, maintaining any posted data. I don't just want to navigate to the same URL as in the original WebBrowser object, rather I want to repeat the HttpWebRequest. Is this possible? How? ...
HttpListener gives you response stream, but calling flush means nothing (and from sources it's clear, because it's actually doing nothing).

U...

Is this possible and if so which APIs should I be looking at? This is a 'just...

Where can I find out enough info about how Brushes work to implement my own System.Windows.Media.Brush? I can handle all of the freezable baggage, but it's not really obvious what I need to override to get it to work. Yeah, so I didn't mean that I want to use a predefined brush. I want to extend System.Windows.Media.Brush, which is ...
