Some of these would be printed on preprinted stock (i.e. W-2s) while others would need to save the formatting within the report/form design. In our OLD legacy applications, we have used C programs to...

Let's say you write an app in C#, VB, anything with .NET When you hit build, does it really compile your code? I thought so until I started using redgates reflector on some of my assemblies and saw my code verbatim. I would have expected loops to be unrolled and another plethora of optimizations, instead nothing. So when does the compil...

More broadly, at what level of the abstraction is paging done with .Net's memory mapped files? Is the page size/amount of the file held in memory rel...

My regex skills are pretty poor, and most of the time they make me feel stupid. Can anyone help? This question is more concerned with better mastery of regex than the job of extracting information from mud soup, so if my understanding of the mediawiki template system is flawed, I don't really mind that much. I'll spot it soon enough. I...

Hi all Is there a built in attribute in the .net framework to mark up code with an arbitrary key and value? I've had a look through the list, but can't see anything useful there. What we ideally want is to be able to say [NameValuePair("MyKey", "My long bit of text")] ...and then pull it out later on Actually, what we really want to...

I have an old .net 1.0 webapp that needs a bit of maintenance done on it. I've used the auto-upgrader to upgrade it to .net 3.5 (and also later tried 2.0) but now it can't connect to the database. On the surface this looks like a noob connection-string problem, but I'm thinking it's more likely to be related to some subtle problem from ...
