I had a similar issue (with the additional message The “BuildShadowTask” task failed unexpectedly) with a project originally developed with VS2010, and got to spend the last few hours learning about yet another legacy facet of the build process. There is a good chance that you are dealing with private accessor files (.accessor), which were … Read more
The problem is that strings are immutable. The methods replace, substring, etc. do not change the string itself. They create a new string and replace it. So for the above code to be correct, it should be path1 = path.Replace(“\\bin\\Debug”, “\\Resource\\People\\VisitingFaculty.txt”); Or just path = path.Replace(“\\bin\\Debug”, “\\Resource\\People\\VisitingFaculty.txt”); if another variable is not needed. This answer … Read more
The best way to solve your problem is to set the UseSystemPasswordChar property to true. Then, the Caps-lock message is shown when the user enters the field and the Caps-Lock is on (at least for Vista and Windows 7). Another alternative is to set the PasswordChar property to a character value (* for example). This … Read more
I did a bunch of homework and got this working. The steps to add SSL support for an .NET HttpListener are: Update C# application code to include the https prefix. Example: String[] prefixes = { “http://*:8089/”,”https://*:8443/” }; That’s it from the code aspect. For the certificate side of things, using the Windows SDK command console … Read more
XmlSerializer supports the ShouldSerialize{Foo}() pattern, so you can add a method: public bool ShouldSerializeID() {return ID.HasValue;} There is also the {Foo}Specified pattern – not sure if XmlSerializer supports that one.
Tuples are available since .NET4.0 and support generics: Tuple<string, int> t = new Tuple<string, int>(“Hello”, 4); In previous versions you can use System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<K, V> or a solution like the following: public class Pair<T, U> { public Pair() { } public Pair(T first, U second) { this.First = first; this.Second = second; } public T First … Read more

If you want to mix Web Forms and Web API, or MVC and SignalR, go ahead! You are encouraged and supported. New features and functionality are brought in with NuGet … Read more
Based on suggestion by Saint_pl: I found probably better solution – similar to SharpPcap. It’s Pcap.Net – .NET wrapper for WinPcap. Now I can modify my packets whatever I want. I have some resources for you that maybe helpful. I don’t try that solutions in Windows 7 but maybe it contains some good info to … Read more
Yup, use a FileSystemWatcher but instead of watching for the created event, watch for the changed event. After every trigger, try to open the file. Something like this: var watcher = new FileSystemWatcher(path, filter); watcher.Changed += (sender, e) => { FileStream file = null; try { Thread.Sleep(100); // hack for timing issues file = File.Open( … Read more
Revisiting this because I have successfully replaced our top level MFC UI (the main frame, windows, and toolbars) with WPF. As it turns out, our core drawing code merely needs to be handed an HWND to render into. This made it really easy to reuse the bulk of our existing C++ codebase. Here’s a quick … Read more
