Firstly, this wouldn’t be a C# bug anyway – it would be a .NET bug. C# is the language – it doesn’t decide how Math.Round is implemented. And secondly, no – if you read the docs, you’ll see that the default rounding is “round to even” (banker’s rounding): Return ValueType: System.DoubleThe integer nearest a. If … Read more
Math.Floor rounds down, Math.Ceiling rounds up, and Math.Truncate rounds towards zero. Thus, Math.Truncate is like Math.Floor for positive numbers, and like Math.Ceiling for negative numbers. Here’s the reference. For completeness, Math.Round rounds to the nearest integer. If the number is exactly midway between two integers, then it rounds towards the even one. Reference.

You’ll want something like this to increase the message size quotas, in the App.config or Web.config file: <bindings> <basicHttpBinding> <binding name=”basicHttp” allowCookies=”true” maxReceivedMessageSize=”20000000″ maxBufferSize=”20000000″ maxBufferPoolSize=”20000000″> <readerQuotas maxDepth=”32″ maxArrayLength=”200000000″ maxStringContentLength=”200000000″/> </binding> </basicHttpBinding> </bindings> And use the binding name in your endpoint configuration e.g. … bindingConfiguration=”basicHttp” … The justification for the values is simple, they are sufficiently … Read more
If you want to unit test a private method, something may be wrong. Unit tests are (generally speaking) meant to test the interface of a class, meaning its public (and protected) methods. You can of course “hack” a solution to this (even if just by making the methods public), but you may also want to … Read more
A lot of people are saying that once you get to the size where speed is actually a concern that HashSet<T> will always beat List<T>, but that depends on what you are doing. Let’s say you have a List<T> that will only ever have on average 5 items in it. Over a large number of … Read more
A StaticResource will be resolved and assigned to the property during the loading of the XAML which occurs before the application is actually run. It will only be assigned once and any changes to resource dictionary ignored. A DynamicResource assigns an Expression object to the property during loading but does not actually lookup the resource … Read more
I’ve not used this method, but Michael Kaplan describes a method for doing so in his blog post (with a confusing title) that talks about stripping diacritics: Stripping is an interesting job (aka On the meaning of meaningless, aka All Mn characters are non-spacing, but some are more non-spacing than others) static string RemoveDiacritics(string text) … Read more
If you try to run 32-bit applications on IIS 7 (and/or 64-bit OS machine), you will get the same error. So, from the IIS 7, right click on the applications’ application pool and go to “advanced settings” and change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” to “TRUE”. Restart your website and it should work.
This warning seems to have been introduced with the new Visual Studio 11 Beta and .NET 4.5, although I suppose it might have been possible before. First, it really is just a warning. It should not hurt anything if you are just dealing with x86 dependencies. Microsoft is just trying to warn you when you … Read more
You guys are making this too hard. PowerShell handles this quite elegantly e.g.: > $str1 = $null > if ($str1) { ‘not empty’ } else { ’empty’ } empty > $str2 = ” > if ($str2) { ‘not empty’ } else { ’empty’ } empty > $str3 = ‘ ‘ > if ($str3) { ‘not … Read more
