I would like to be able to take the XML data reference by the node and view it with a data grid view. Does any one know if this is possible? I am using the fo...
So I am exploring a Win 2008 Server machine with WMI queries on the Win32_NetworkAdapter class. This class is documented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394216(VS.85).aspx Here's what it says about the possible values of that property. There's also an AdapterType property that returns the same information, only in the fo...

We're writing a .NET winform application and I'm looking for options on one of the features. The end user for this system will be defining inspection processes which need to be easy to follow and will be used to show inspectors their options when inspecting a product as well as to drive the inspection module on which questions need to b...

Possible Duplicate: Why C# implements methods as non-virtual by default? I'm speaking primarily about C#, .NET 3.5, but wonder in general what the benefits are of not considering everything "virtual" - which is to say that a method called in an instance of a child class always executes the child-most version of that method. In ...
I'm using the Validation Application Block from Microsoft. I have a string property which holds a phone number. I have a RegexValidator on it which works pretty well for ensuring only phone number type strings are in the property, but the property should also allow values that are null or an empty string. Currently the this validator ...

I'm trying to learn more about WPF and I've read a bit about Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) but if I were to create a WPF app I think I would still do things, out of habit, the same way I did in winforms. Which from my understand is going to eventually code me into a corner. So to one way for me to learn the 'right' way is to compare and ...

I honsetly can't say that I have ever seen a commercial app that uses .NET (other then controls for devs/open source). With it being so easy to 'decompile' a .NET application using RedGates .NET Reflector, I was wondering if .NET was geared toward ASP.NET (since you can't 'decompile' because the code runs on a server and is not stored on...
I have a language service that I have built for a custom file type. In addition, I have created a custom target (build action) within my MSBuild project files.
