During Visual Studio 2010 testing I found interesting way how to crash Visual Studio 2010 so bad that my Windows 7 needs restart. Just follow these steps.

Here are my postings about Visual Studio 2010 and .Net Framework 4.0 that may be interesting to my readers.

My previous posting was about performance of Fibonacci numbers algorithms. In this posting I will introduce you some problems related to limits of our usual integers and introduce you new feature in .Net Framework 4.0 – big integers. Big integers are useful when solving different mathematical problems. Also they are used in cryptography.

Performance of algorithms is important topic if you want to write programs that work fast and doesn’t eat too much resources. In this example I will show you two implementations of famous Fibonacci numbers algorithm and let you compare how these two implementations perform. This posting will be also introduction to my next posting to keep it smaller and to keep focus on point.

Currently there is no good method in SharePoint for deleting all items from list. But there are solutions that need this kind of functionality. During one of my projects I wrote extension method for SPList that removes all items from it.

.Net Framework 4.0 has parallel computing extensions for LINQ. Previously it was possible to download parallel extensions for LINQ separately from CodePlex. Of course, you can still use these extensions if you have older version that 4.0. I wrote a little, simple and pretty pointless example that illustrates how parallel queries work in .Net Framework 4.0.

.Net Framework 4.0 provides us with a new class called Lazy<T>. As documentation sais then Lazy<T> provides support for several common patterns of lazy initialization, including the ability to initialize value types and to use null values. So it is construct that helps us implement lazy loading.

Guys from Typemock are giving away some free licenses. The text below is taken from their web site. I hope I get some licenses too. :)
