Here’s a little gotcha I ran into today – if you have code in a class’s static constructor that throws an exception, we will get a TypeInitializationException with the original exception as the InnerException – so far, nothing new. However, if we keep...
A simple macro to change the Target Framework for a project from .NET 2.0 to .NET 3.5, hacked together in a few minutes. This will fail for C++/CLI projects, and possibly VB.NET projects (haven't checked). Works fine for regular C# projects, as well as...
Just a quick heads-up in case you're stumped with this problem, or just passing by: The System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntry class implements the Equals method to check if two entries are identical, even if they're not the same instance. However, contrary...
I'm writing some benchmarking code, which involves a Console application calling a COM+ hosted process and measuring performance. I want to constantly display results on my active console, but since some of my code is running out-of-process, I can't really...
In my current code, I find myself accessing many Sharepoint web services. In one run of code I can access 5-6 different web services on dozens of different sites, not necessarily even on the same server. Given that I find myself writing a lot of boilerplate...
Here's another nasty one that tried to bite me today. Let's say I have the following classes: public class COMPlusClass : ServicedComponent { public COMPlusClass() { // Default initialization. } public COMPlusClass (string data) { // Parameterized initialization...
Today, I had a very tight deadline to achieve a very simple task: pass a managed .NET string to an API function that expects a null-terminated char*. Trivial, you would expect? Unfortunately it wasn't. My first though was to do the pinning trick that...
Recently I've found myself stumbling around some C++/CLI code. C++ is a language which I learned years ago and never really worked with seriously, so I've been cursing and moaning as I worked. Strange for me to go back to a (partially) unmanaged environment...
A while ago, I wrote about a simple pattern to allow us to put a timeout limitation on a long running operations. Simply put, it allows us to replace this: public MyObject GetData() { try { MyObject data = BigComponent.LongRunningOperation(); return data;...
I downloaded the new Sharepoint 2007 SDK today, published last week though it's dated from April 2007. There appears to be no change history for this version of the SDK. I was hoping for more information on new Web Service methods available in 2007 -...
