Suppose I have a non-recurring event that needs to be raised X seconds from now such as a timeout. Intuitively it would make sense to create a System.Timers.Timer, set its interval to X*1000, wire its tick up to the event and start it. Since this is a non-recurring event and you only want it raised once you would then have to stop the ...
Hi .Net developers out there! Need your opinion here! I am now using Visual Assist X, a decent piece of software, indeed. But the .Net bloggers seem to prefer Resharper more. I might want to consider a switch over, but before that I want your guys opinion first. ...
I've inherited a VB.net project that generates 2 DLLS: one for the web app, and another for the "business layer". This is for a sub-app of a larger web site. (Using VS2005). The problem is that that something doesn't smell right with the DLL & namespace structure, and I'd like to know if there are any performance impacts. The main web...
My .NET application fails when run from a network drive even when the very same executable runs perfectly fine from a local hard drive?

In an aspx C#.NET page (I am running framework v3.5), I need to know where the user came from since they cannot view pages without logging in. If I have page 'A' (the page the user wants to view) redirect to page 'B' (the login page), the Request.UrlReferrer object is null. Background: If a user isn't logged in, I redirect to the Log...
What is the best way to determine available bandwidth in .NET? We have users that access business applications from various remote access points, wired and wireless and at times the bandwidth can be very low based on where the user is. When the applications appear to be running slow, the issue could be due to low bandwidth and not some...

If I pass the interface IDoSomething as the generic parameter, I want to return an instance of DoSomething (that implements IDoSomething). I cannot figure out the syntax of the if statement. I want to wr...
I've been arguing with my coworkers about Pascal casing (upper camel case) vs. lower CamelCasing. They are used to lower camel casing for everything from table names in SQL databases to property naming in C# code but I like Pascal casing better, lower camel casing for variables and Pascal casing for properties: string firstName; public ...
I have code from an old website that I needed to modify. There are two pages that I modified some form code in. I modified the max length of a textbox and I modified slightly a line or two of code in a function. The "btnSubmit_Click" function as it happens. With the new code FTPed up on the webserver, when I click on the "Submit" button...
We have a few operations where we are doing a large number of large string concatenations, and have recently encountered an out of memory exception. Unfortunately, debugging the code is not an option, as this is occurring at a customer site. So, before looking into a overhaul of our code, I would like to ask: what is the RAM consumpt...

I have several .NET WinForms applications that I'm preparing to convert into a click-once/smart-client deployment scenario. I've read the isn't-this-great tutorials but want to ask if there are pitfalls or "gotchas" that I should be aware of. there are several minor apps used off and on, but the main app is in C#, runs 24/7, is quite la...
I'm consuming a third party .NET WebService in my client application. For debugging purposes I want to capture the SOAP requests that are being sent from my server. How would I go about doing this? This is being done on .NET 2.0 without the use of WCF or WSE. ...
I am creating a "department picker" form that is going to serve as a modal popup form with many of my "primary" forms of a Winforms application. Ideally the user is going to click on an icon next to a text box that will pop up the form, they will select the department they need, and when they click OK, the dialog will close and I will ha...
