Hi there, I am creating a desktop/client application that will be installed on +/- 5 PCs, that will be transacting with a database on a central server machine.

I've been fighting with this for a while, and have found that a number of other people struggle with the TableLayoutPanel (.net 2.0 Winforms) as well. Problem I am attempting to take a 'blank' tablelayoutpanel, which has 10 columns defined, then at runtime programatically add rows of controls (i.e. one control per cell). One might hav...

Ok, dumb question. I'm trying to set up my first TypeMock demo project in VS2005 but it doesn't recognize the [TestMethod] attribute.

Is anyone aware of whether there are there any built-in capabilities in the LINQ library (or a publicly available utility library) for optimized operations on IOrderedEnumerable<T>, as opposed to IEnumerable<T>? For example, in theory, the Contains<T>() extension could potentially be optimized to use binary search when it is applied to ...
Okay, I've checked Environment.SpecialFolder, but there's nothing in there for this. I want to get the home directory of the current user in C#. (e.g. c:\documents and settings\user under XP, c:\users\user under Vista, and /home/user under Unix.) I know I can read enviroment variables to find this out, but I want to do this in a cross-...
