I wrote some small apps using .NET 3.5 but now I am stuck with deployment problems. My customer will likely to be pissed off when he learns that he will have to download a 231megs dependency (.NET framework 3.5) which installs for 30 minutes (!!!) on an average machine. All, just to run my tiny apps. Offline distribution is also problem...
We have a number of electronic test technicians with next to no programming experience. I would like a scripting language that is easy to learn with simple forgiving syntax that can integrate with .NET and invoke exposed static or singleton instance methods easily. What scripting language can meet these requirements? Note: Perl is elim...
When I have to get GBs of data, save it on a collection and process it, I have memory overflows. So instead of: public class Program { public IEnumerable<SomeClass> GetObjects() { var list = new List<SomeClass>(); while( // get implementation list.Add(object); } return list; ...

This is a question about the VB.NET language. Since I am using it every day, I just try to understand the motivations behind some of its constructs. I just find out that this line : If myObject Is Nothing then is as correct as this one is : If Nothing Is myObject Then Same results. Using ildasm, we can see that these lines are tra...
I just downloaded the trial version of ANTS Performance Profiler from Red Gate and am investigating some of my team's code. Immediately I notice that there's a particular section of code that ANTS is reporting as eating up to 99% CPU time. I am completely unfamiliar with ANTS or performance profiling in general (that is, aside from self...
Which is the right approach and why? string initializeme = string.Empty; StringBuilder AppendToMe = new StringBuilder(); for(int i=0; i < 10; i++) { initializeme = string.Empty; //Is this the right place to initialize? if(expressionThatEvalsTrue) initializeme = SomeMethodReturningString(); if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(i...

At some point in the day I have to grab a set (about 1k) and generate the invoices. Where would be the best place to generate the invoice numbers? On SQL Server backend? Or grab ...
I need to be able to expose "commands" that make calls to the host. I need to have simple easy to read syntax. It needs to be easy to pick up by non-programmers. An example would be as follows: Host Application: ScriptHost.AddCommandBinding("MyCommand", delegateToMyHandler, parameterDefinitionsStruct); Script returnval = MyComma...
How can I use Process.Start(), but have the launched process not in the same process tree as the launching process? Consider this sample console application: using System; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Threading; internal class Program { private static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Starting ie....
On some .NET driven sites URLs don't end with asp.net page names, like default.aspx, instead they use a pattern http://sitename.com or http://sitename.com/subdirectory/subdirectory. The site is mapped as sub directories off the root, ie. /tags, /users, /badges, the URLs would be /tags, /users, /badges respectively. StackOverflow, to use...
I think this is likely to be a generic .NET assembly loading question, but in my specific case, I want my SharePoint Features to point to an assembly whose versioning is associated with the correct SVN revision number. My assemblies are now versioned as mentioned in this article. I'd like to be able to just configure my SharePoint feat...
I'm working through some MSDN examples, and some books on ADO.Net. What they all have in common is using the point/click/drag-drop design time feature in Visual Studio to develop database applications, binding data sets to controls etc. And the resulting code does all DB access in the GUI thread, as far as I can tell. This sounds like b...
In other .NET languages such as C# you can switch on a string value: string val = GetVal(); switch(val) { case "val1": DoSomething(); break; case "val2": default: DoSomethingElse(); break; } This doesn't seem to be the case in C++/CLI System::String ^val = GetVal(); switch(val) // Compile error { // Snip } Is there a sp...
Of these two options: var result = from c in coll where c % 2 == 0 select c; var result = coll.Where ( c => c % 2 == 0 ); Which is preferable? Is there any advantage to using one over the other? To me the second one looks better, but I would like to hear other people's opinions. ...
