• Visual Basic ADO.net DataAccess time SLOW

  Unless I am doing something very wrong, it seems that the ADO.net dataaccess time,IE retrieving a record is extremly slow compared to Classic ADO.

  Why is (2^63) - 1 not a constant expression not representable in type Long. I think we're saying the same thing. It is a characteristic of the behavior of the datatype. The hi-bit is a sign bit. Not so for the ULong or Uint64 datatype. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get local directory of a web service

I've created a web service, and I need to get the local path to the webservice directory. For instance, my webservice is located at the usual C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebService. I just need to get this string dynamically (without hard-coding it) so I can save off some files there at runtime. I tried Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(). ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSIP/Visual Studio 2005 SDK and open source language services?

  In the near future I would like to attempt a language services plug-in using the Visual Studio 2005 SDK (formerly called VSIP I believe); the free version, to be specific. However, since I may or may not have much time in the future to work on it, I was wondering if a non-viral open source license - something like MIT or BSD that does not propogate up the chain - would be OK. I do not care much about the particulars of whatever licenses are ac ...Show All
