• Visual Studio Team System DoNotCastUnnecessarily: Release vs Debug

  When I compare the outputs of FxCop for my assemblies in Debug and Release build modes, the results are very different. The Debug report shows 233 more issues that are all related to "DoNotCastUnnecessarily" messages. Is the compiler optimizing things for a release build and that's why I don't see the messages in my Release report That's interesting (and worrying) that the optimizations are disabled i ...Show All

• Windows Forms Deployed application breaks when it's auto-updated.

  Based on these two truths: 1) ClickOnce only updates files when their hash has changed; 2) Assembly hash doesn't change when only AssemblyVersion changed; Consider an application that is composed of 2 assemblies: an assembly A that references assembly B.
