• Kamol Murodov How to use Visual Studio 2005 with folder redirection?

  We have a number of developers using Visual Studio 2005 (C#) in a company where active directory/group policies is heavily used.

• bizbuz Figuring out parameter information

  I've spent  a good amount of time (5 or 6 hours) trying to write a geneic error handler for a application. I would like to have a generic error handler that would be able to figure out what parameters and their respective values so they are logged in a exception database. My company does a lot of batch processes and I believe it would be a lot easier to write a generic version as opposed to log every parameter by hand in my methods. Some ...Show All

• BetterTrades Is the Intermediate Language a security risk?

  We are creating a new product where the main value will be in the data, and there will be a relatively small amount of code that will process that data. The data will be encrypted so competitors will not be able to use it, but I'm assuming it would be a simple matter to look at the Intermediate Language and determine how to decrypt and use the data. We are considering doing this in C# but could also do it in C++, but we want to use .NET in eithe ...Show All

• Malae Is there any way to flag a block of code so it isn't reformatted by "Format Document"?

  I love the VS2005 autoformatter, and I use "Edit / Advanced / Format Document" and "Format Selection" all the time. Sometimes, though, the code is much easier to read if you break the rules and put everything on one line with multiple spaces or tabs. Example: Property1 { get { return this.myClass.internalAttribute1; } { set this.myClass.internalattribute1 = value; }} P2        { get { return this.p2; } &n ...Show All

• ShelleyPike prefix and postfix unary operators

  How can I make prefix and postfix unary operators (in c++ I can write like this: TYPE operator++() //for prefix and TYPE operator++(int i) //for postfix) Hi! You can't. It's by design.
