• .NET Development Obtain a Stack dump ?

  I would like to know if it's possible to perform a full stack dump in .Net Since the VS debugger is basically capable to navigating through the stack granting a visual access to all managed variables of the stack, this must be possible somehow. Such feature would be really useful for various purposes including debugging (post-app crash forensics) but also performance tuning (post-run stack analysis), etc... Does anyone know how to perform a st ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions performclick and graphics

  I've written a short graphics test program. Basically the program executes when a button (button event) is pressed. I then wanted to use button.performclick in a Paint Event but the graphics in the button event does not work. I'm using a picture box as the canvas. Any suggestions.

  I've just been reading "C# Network Programming" by Richard Blum in order to get up to speed with networking (non-http, most of my C# experience is in ASP.NET). Now, he shows many examples of how to network in the book, and I've learnt some great things, but after reading Tom Miller's book, it's left me wondering how much is going on in the background of .NET and which approach is better for an MMO style game. In Richard's book he shows fi ...Show All
