A question that's lurking in my head for a while now. What's the importance of Path.DirectorySeperatorChar ? I mean can't we just put '\' instead - which i think is faster than calling a property especially if you're constructing a huge number of paths in your application? Is there a reason for it? could there be another Char for folder...

Hello everyone, I am developing an HttpModule and using Global.asax. I have developed a class which derives from HttpApplication, but Application_Start method of my class never executes (I create a file at the beginning of Application_Start but the file never creates, and it is why I think Application_Start never executes).

I want to know that Filename1, provided by the user is the same as stored in DB (Filename2). I was about to use string.Equals(Filename1, Filename2, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) but then I doubted whether I should use StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase.

Hi Out of curiosity, I'd like to know if anyone knows of any somewhat large website that started out using Django, Ruby on Rails, or similar frameworks, but later switched to using something more "enterprise-ish" such as .NET or JSP. (I tried searching for this question, but couldn't find any.) Thanks ...

We have a minimal 'updater' exe that checks a remote URL for updates, downloads them and replaces files on disk prior to launching the real application. However if we want to replace the updater EXE then AFAIK we have two options: 1) Shadow Copying Assemblies whereby .Net will create a shadow copy of the EXE (and any referenced assembli...

My web site is called 'DynExtensions', and the model gets generated in the namespace 'DynExtensions.App_Code', but this namespace is not visible in the rest of the project, i.e. I get a compile error if I add a 'us...
EDIT: Highlight difficulties with virtual and/or value-type methods Can you create a delegate of an instance method without specifying the instance at creation time? In other words, can you create a "static" delegate that takes as it's first parameter the instance the method should be called on? For example, how can I construct the fo...
