I'm looking for a more efficient way to find a type in an Assembly that derives from a known specific type. Basically, I have a plugin architecture in my application, and for the longest time we've been doing this: For Each t As Type In assem.GetTypes() If t.BaseType Is pluginType Then 'Do Stuff here' End If Next Some ...
At work we use DevExpress for the user interface. The first time a form employing a DevExpress control is opened there's a long pause (sometimes 15-20 sec on some clients).

How do I suppress a MessageBox from showing that comes from a reference to an assembly that I do not own (nor have the code for)? For example, my application (MyApplication.exe) is referencing an assembly coded by someone else (SomeoneElsesAssembly.dll). Inside of this assembly I'm calling a static method, which does what it's supposes...
Hello there, I'm developing a shared assembly, version 2.0.0.0. For future compatibility, I'd like to bind all the 2.0.x.x versions to the latest version installed. To do so I need a publisher policy file. Is there a way to embed the publisher policy directly in the "code" assembly instead of having to install two different assemblies? ...
I have a loop in a BackgroundWorker that saves some stuff via xml Serialization when needed but this seems to load a new assembly each time 'xxyyzz.Main.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded '9skkbvdl' 'xxyyzz.Main.vshost.exe' (Managed): Loaded 'd2k4bdda' and so on. Why is this happening? Is there any thing i can do about it? Is this...
Hi, If you distribute a .net web application, and you want a certain module of the application to be disabled, AND you don't want to ship the source with it, is it a reasonable solution to just not include the necessary .dll for that module? I know you can do things programatically, but as long as you don't ship the .dll things should ...
I want to create an assembly using IronPython can call it from C#. Here are two things I am not asking. I'm not asking how to call C# from IronPython.

I'm trying to load a few modules via hooking into the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve and AppDomain.ReflectionOnlyAssemblyResolve events. While I got the former to work, I fail miserably on the latter.

I have developed a console utility that performs some operations against a server application. Due to the nature of the server app I'm working with, I need to execute this utility on the server.

I am creating a C# assembly for MS SQL Server 2005 for encryption/decryption. I need to query the database in this assembly, and was wondering what the preferred method of connecting to the database is? I believe we would not want to have a username/password in the connection string. Since the assembly is registered in MS SQL does it h...
I have some UI application that lives in the user's task bar that is written in C#. The EXE for the tool is checked in to our source control system on a number of projects that use it so we are able to update the version they run with by checking in updated EXE. The problem is that when the users get the latest revision of the exe, the ...
We recently implemented some symmetric keys in MS SQL 2005 for encrypting and decrypting credit card, check routing/account numbers. Ideally, we would like a user defined function to be able to perform the encryption and decryption, however, its not possible since the encryptbykey and decryptbykey functions cannot be used within user de...

I have several assemblies for SQL Server 2005. If invalid data is entered to be run by my SP function (using C#), I want to pass back an error to sql server. For example, if someone enters something I don't want them to then I want to output something back to SQL Server prior to executing any query. Any ideas? ...
