I have a CSS file that is embedded in my assembly. I need to set a background image for certain elements using this CSS file, and the image needs to be an embedded resource also. Is this possible?

I have been trying to learn and apply domain driven concept into my software development. The first thing that I try to do is creating my domain model based on business logic needs. I often also use OR Mapping tool, such as LLBLGen, NHibernate, or Linq to SQL, to create data model and data access layer. The domain model and data model, h...
Looks like these guys have bought some StackOverflow ad space. I watched the Video Tour on their site and read the blurb. Is anybody using this app? Is it actually as helpful as they claim, or even just 5% as helpful? ...
I got this issue: Product class in a SQLBackend that implements IProduct interface. I also got a Product in SAPBackend (ERP, accounting software) that implements the same IProduct. Both backend is in a different project. I want to be able to use pass a Product between this two project so I need the same common interface. I was thin...
I need to code a small record-keeping application for a small business in Windows and I'm considering programming it from scratch using .NET. However, I think that it might be overkill for such a common kind of program. It is mostly a CRUD application with simple arithmetic. I'm tempted to go the MS Access way, but I find it a bit limit...
Hi, One of my colleague is very keen on signing assemblies. He literally tries to sign anything, even when we use assemblies from Microsoft that are not signed he will take the source code , sign it and then ask other developers to use his copy instead. I can understand the basic idea behind signing an assembly: to ensure a particular ...

Hi, Is there a sample code or utility which I could use to read PDF documents and convert or export the data into an Excel document? Most of the sample codes I see when searching are converting Excel to PDF. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks. ...
Is there a way to load a .NET Assembly into a Sandbox environment that is also restricted in custom ways? I know you can run an Assembly in a different AppDomain, but can you limit it from being able to do certain things that you want to restrict? For example: I want to be able to load up a Plugin (simple, just defined via a specific in...

We have a need to update several tables that have parent/child relationships based on an Identity primary-key in the parent table, which is referred to by one or more child tables as a foreign key. Due to the high volume of data, we would like to build these tables in memory, then use SqlBulkCopy from C# to update the database en mass ...
I really like the MSN notification popup. Basically the popup you see when you receive a new email etc. I'd like to put timers and set times so I, for instance, get a popup at 2PM saying "Don't forget..." I know I could make my own notification bubble but I'd prefer the WLM one. Thanks ...
I'm developing a desktop application in Visual Studio 2008, and I've made the delightful discovery that evidently under Vista, the Calendar control is 45 pixels wider than the same control in XP. Naturally, this ruins the layout of my from, and I don't have space to give. If I tinker with the dimension attributes of the calendar in Vista...

Hi folks, I've got a windows service that does some image conversion. It works by firing off when any file (in a particular folder) is renamed (ie. rename file watcher). Works great until I have a massive amount of images dumped (and renamed) in that folder. CPU redlines, etc.. So, I was going to change my code to use MSMQ to queue all...
Every time I compile my app and the version number changes (I have an auto-incrementing build number), I lose the user-configured app.config settings, since they're stored in the AppData folder for a specific version. Essentially, every release of my application starts from scratch as far as user settings go. While this is a mild annoya...
It is the common case when domain model is changed during project development. If db schema is generated from domain model, then the following problem appears. When I change model, I need to change schema also. I am searching for the ORM which can do such changes automatically (or, semi-automatically). At least, the ORM must support the...
