• .NET Development System.Reflection (Reading Assemblies)

  Anybody knows about System.Reflection I'm reading an Assembly and I'm taking the types(classes) and their fields(attributes).

• SQL Server [effeciency] specific result values

  Hi. I had no idea what to name the topic so I hope this is ok. I feel like I am losing it, even though I am still learning SQL Server - I dont use it much in terms of technical/complex queries and so on but I do use SQL on a regular (almost) basis. I am all about making sure it is secure and effecient and performance and so on - just to give a bit of background about myself. Say for instance I have an ASP.NET website, which I have d ...Show All

• Architecture IntraLayer Communication

  Typically when passing data between various layers normally most recommend use of custom entities because it allows the developer to write code which gives finer control to the data. The other means could be usage of dataset, typed dataset. The way I look at it, custom entities take time to code and at the same time one needs to also write logic for retrieving data from database and looping record per record into an array of custo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Where is the menu to choose 'build release/debug'?

  In 2003, there is a menu to choose for building release/debug version. Where is it in Express 2005 Or, in Express 2005, it can only build debug version thanks Hi, Scott, Thanks.

I loaded it to Express 2005, and it is automatically converted to Express 2005 ...Show All

• SQL Server Why use anything other than varchar(max)

  What is the benefit of using anything but varcha(max). See my post for my comments. Comments very welcome Hi Simon, as varchar(max) is a great "invention" for SQL Server it should be used wisely. There was a good webcast about this from Kimberly L.Tripp from SQLSkills which pointed out why and when you should consider using this new type. (Some of that which already took place at: http://www.microsoft.com/events/series/msdnsqlser ...Show All

• Visual C# Serious Settings Problem Destroying Whole Form

  Hello! If you try to create a new Settings file in your project and name it the same as your form, for example Form1, the Settings file will create a new Form1.Designer.cs file, overwriting your old one!
