I'm trying to do some custom UI behavior on a Windows Forms PropertyGrid control. I'd like to be able to respond to clicks and double-clicks on the GridItems to change the state. For example, to flip a binary or ternary variable through its states. I can get at the underlying view by looking up a child of typename "PropertyGridView" and...
In my tests I need to test what happens when an OracleException is thrown (due to a stored procedure failure). I am trying to setup Rhino Mocks to Expect.Call(....).Throw(new OracleException()); For whatever reason however, OracleException seems to be sealed with no public constructor. What can I do to test this? Edit: Here is exa...
Does anyone have any code examples on how to create controllers that have parameters other than using a Dependency Injection Container? I see plenty of samples with using containers like StructureMap, but nothing if you wanted to pass in the dependency class yourself. ...
If I am trying to determine the read speed of a drive, I can code a routine to write files to a filesystem and then read those files back. Unfortunately, this doesn't give an accurate read speed because Windows does disk read caching. Is there a way to flush the disk read cache of a drive in C# / .Net (or perhaps with Win32 API calls) ...

Is there a generic way, without creating and managing your own CLR host, to take over locating and loading a type if that type is not found? The following is just an example. In your rush to be the first answer, don't suggest the new add-in framework or the MEF as a solution to my question. An example would be a sample with add-ins. ...
After working with .NET's HttpWebRequest/Response objects, I'd rather shoot myself than use this to crawl through web sites. I'm looking for an existing .NET library that can fetch URLs, and give you the ability to follow links, extract/fill in/submit forms on the page, etc. Perl's LWP and WWW::Mechanize modules do this very well, but ...
I have the following string array: var sa = new string[] {"yabba","dabba","doo"}; I can convert it to "yabba, dabba, doo" it using string.Join() but what is the super-cool LINQ way of doing it? The Join extension method seems promising but for a novice like me very confusing. ...

I'm looking for a groovy equivalent on .NET http://boo.codehaus.org/ So far Boo looks interesting, but it is statically typed, yet does include some of the metaprogramming features I'd be looking for. Can anyone comment on the experience of using Boo and is it worth looking into for more than hobby purposes at a 1.0 Version? Edit: C...

Is there a built in dll that will give me a list of links from a string. I want to send in a string with valid html and have it parse all the links. I seem to remember there being something built into either .net or an unmanaged library. I found a couple open source projects that looked promising but I thought there was a built in modul...
