• Visual Studio Team System DoNotCallOverridableMethodsInConstructors

  I disagree with FxCop's DoNotCallOverridableMethodsInConstructors rule. The documentation gives an example of a bug. An overiding method uses a field variable that its constructor hasn't initialised yet. The method is called by the base constructor. The bug is in the derived class, which is using the “initialized” field variable before it has initialised it to “Yes”. FxCop blames the base class. I see the bug. Wha ...Show All

• Visual C# program stops responding when in a busy loop

  Hi, I have a program which inside a loop does some encryption/decryption till the battery level on my laptop goes down by some percentage. However, the problem is that it simply stops responding some time in between. I had a similar code for PocketPc which was fine. I believe it has something to do with the fact that my code is busy waiting(not actually waiting but doing computations in a loop) and would not respond to other events. I say so ...Show All

The thing is, in all the examples, there is only one "new" call when only one ...Show All
