  Hi all, Is there any way to obfuscate the code by default..i mean when compiling.. If not ...Why Microsoft doesnt provide an option with its compilers to obfuscate the assembly by default so that the code is secure Thanks, Suresh. You can use a post-build process to call the obfuscator of your choice. Keep in mind that obfuscation doesn't secure anything--it's a deterrant, at the very most. -Ryan / Kardax ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions XML, Lists and ListBoxes

  Got a few questions. I have a List<string> that populates a ListBox with data. If I delete an item at an index, would the data move down an index For example, I have 10 items in my list, indicies are 0 through 9, if I removed the item at index 5, would the indicies change to 0 through 8 and would the item at index 6 move to index 5 (so on and so forth for each item after) Or would I have to manually iterate through each item and move it down an index My next question regards XML. I can create an XML file and read through it, but every example I come across only gives information on creating new files. If I have an existing XML docum ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Additional binaries don't get shadow-copied

  i have three assemblies (class libraries) in my solution: the first one contains classes only (1), the second one contains the interfaces (2) and the third one works as a plugin (3) for 1 (implementing the interfaces from 2). at design-time 1 only references 2; i then have a post-build command that copies the binary from 3 to the bin-folder of 1 (2 gets copied anyway because of the reference). that works fine using my app normally. but when i run a unit-test for 1 the plugin 3 is not found. i checked the log and saw that the assemblies are shadow-copied to some temp folder in the users application data directory. that's a good ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get all SQL tables at once

  Hi all.. I have a database running on SQL Server. It has a lot of tables that I need to load into a dataset (all at once) so that I could work with the in memory data. How can I do it using a SqlDataAdapter or other object if this is possible I could load it one by one but it is a very tedious work (to load not only data, but also relationships). Thanks Jaime I wouldn't do that. A database is better suited for doing filtering/sorting than in-memory storage like a datatable, which will result in slow code and a memory hog. If you really really want to, you can fetch the meta-data first from sqlserver, using the INFORMATION_ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Start Page

  Does anyone know if it is possible to refresh the start page Further, the Recent Projects list. I have written an add-in that allows a user to manage the list of recent projects(should of been in this version), but can not figure out how to make the start page refresh. Thanks, Brian If you mean that the start page loads a different RSS feed from the default one, then Yes :) In VS go to Tools.Options.Environment.Startup and then set the Start Page news channel to whatever RSS feed you want. Hope this helps. JP ...Show All
