What's the best way in C# to set up a utility app that can be run from the command line and produce some output (or write to a file), but that could be run as a Windows service as well to do its job in the background (e.g. monitoring a directory, or whatever). I would like to write the code once and be able to either call it interactive...
I am trying to figure out the difference between High and HighQualityBicubic InterpolationMode in .Net (System.Drawing.Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.High). Does High mean that it will pick the best algorithm based on the image and what you are doing with it? Is it just an alias for HighQualityBicubic? Something else? According to the MS...
In my career I have seen literally dozens of ways that people choose to handle implementing state and country data (as in NY or USA). I've seen enumerations, multi-dimensional arrays, data driven classes from XML docs or databases, and good old-fashioned strings. So, I'm wondering, what do people consider the "best way" to handle this ...
I am using C# to read a ~120 MB plain-text CSV file. Initially I did the parsing by reading it line-by-line, but recently determined that reading the entire file contents into memory first was multiple times faster. The parsing is already quite slow because the CSV has commas embedded inside quotes, which means I have to use a regex spli...

I am creating a data driven application that will have 3-4 tables. I have created a form for each table that allows the user to search through the table. Each form inheretes from the Main form so th...

I'm interested in learning python to have access to a more agile language for writing tests in my .NET projects. Is IronPython mature enough for these purposes yet? I'm content with writing tests in C#, but find dynamic languages like ruby and python very attractive. Would it be better to forgo IronPython while learning, and stick to t...
Is it possible to use the Assembly.LoadFrom overload with the Evidence parameter to ensure the assembly is strongly named? I want to be able to specify the assembly name, culture, version, and public key token. If any of this information does not match the assembly should fail to load. ...
I've just installed VS2008 and have run into a problem that I'm sure can be solved with either lambda's or delegates (or a combination!). private string ReadData(TcpClient s, string terminator) { // Reads a byte steam into a string builder until either data is unavailable or the terminator has not been reached va...
Hello Everyone, I have the following xml file and cannot seem to figure out how to get the value in the elements (which are buried in a CDATA). I am trying to use linq to xml for this. If someone knows how you would convert this into a "Product" object (assume we have a product object that has properties with the same names as the ele...
Hi, I'm using VB.NET and Linq to SQL to do search query. I'm using the Contains method of Linq to look up the input keyword. It's like this note.note_content.Contains(InputKeyWord). The problem is that If I search for the "cord" then "according" will also come up. I want the result to be matched with keyword only. How do I do to sear...
I'd like to create a simple singleton commandline application (a service?) in C# that when it was run, it checked to see if it was already running, and if so, it passed the command-line args to the already running instance and closed itself. Now in the already running instance it would receive the command-line args through an event like ...

Hi I have this multi-criteria, which works very well, except that I'm getting multiple of the same entities in the collections. I know this is by design, and I know you should be able to use a ResultTransformer to avoid it or filtering through a hashed set after quering. My query looks like this: IMultiCriteria criteria = session.Crea...
