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...
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;...

As a follow-up to my previous post about changing a Windows Service's user account - there was one think I forgot. In order for a user to run a service, that user must be granted the "Run as Service" right by the operating system. Usually it's not a problem...
I've been busting my brains for over two hours trying to accomplish a relatively simple task - changing the username and password of a currently running Windows Service. Should be trivial enough, but the managed ServiceController class doesn't give me...
I have come to the realization, at some point, that I never want to close Outlook. Really, there's no reason for me to shut it down except when doing something special, like freeing every available byte of memory, or when developing add-ins to it...
A coworker (Hey, Evgeny!) came to me with a puzzler today. He has an object that exposes an event, and he wants to know whether he's already subscribed to that event. Two things immediately came to mind - the first was that he really shouldn't...
