Using C#, is there a direct way to export a List of Lists (i.e., List<List<T>>) to Excel 2003? I am parsing out large text files and exporting to Excel. Writing one cell at a time creates way too much overhead. I chose to use List<T> so that I would not have to worry about specifying the number of rows or columns. Currently, I wait unt...

We are looking to migrate a performance critical application to .Net and find that the c# version is 30% to 100% slower than the Win32/C depending on the processor (difference more marked on mobile T7200 processor). I have a very simple sample of code that demonstrates this. For brevity I shall just show the C version - the c# is a direc...
I'm trying to allow my php pages to run inside a content page of the master page. I'd like to run php somehow inside a master page. Besides frames is there another way? I've read you can use a frame, but would prefer not to. If I have to go with frames to get it done, should I be using an asp.net frame class of some sort or the raw html...
Was creating a simple console application to do some prototyping and was shocked to see that the right-click/context menu is missing from a standard .NET console app! I'm unable to find any information about this, and intellisense isn't helping. So what happened to it? Can I get it back? And if not, how can I configure my console app...
I am writing a web app in ASP.NET (2.0), VS2005. The main reason for developing a new application (rather than using readily-available off-the-shelf solutions) is that I need full support for at least two languages (that is front-end and the data). I am looking for the best ways of tackling i18n in ASP.NET (it can be just the UI, sorting...

Basically my code looks like this: //myField is a FieldInfo that represents the field we want to put the data in //resultObject is the object we want the data to go into List<Ob...

I have a set of services (non-WCF) that sit on queues. When message arrives, typical service does some calculations and spits out zero or more result messages to its output queue. Besides its primary function, each service has some housekeeping logic like auth / audit / logging / status tracking with exact steps and sequencing varying so...
I have multiple threads who all need to write to the same Dictionary. I have a lock on an object that I maintain in order to make sure only 1 thread is updating the dictionary at once. My question is as follows. If one thread tries to update the dictionary while another has a lock, will the thread just know to wait? Will it just fail? If...
The following xml file always seems to validate. Not sure why, but when I remove the following ' xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet" ', it seems to throw a validation error as expected. Somehow MS is preventing validation with the added XSD office schema. So anytime that XSD Schema is included you can't validate XML usi...
Are there any libraries which take MathML (or, even more preferably, OMML) and outputs a .PNG file? I am putting together an export process for .docx files and, as a part of this process, I'd like to extract equations and render them as .PNG files. Word 2007 does this natively when you save a document for the web, but so far, I have no...
I am writing a replacement Windows shell in C#, and the feature I am currently implementing is having all IO inside the same shell window - ie, not opening cmd.exe in another window.

I'm looking for a third-party Oracle Data Provider for .Net (ADO.NET) with a full support of Oracle object types (like geometries). I was foolish enough to use ODP.NET and now I'm paying the price - it's incredibly buggy and I just reached the end of the line (keep crashing IIS Pool - known issue, no resolution). I found dotConnect which...
