I ran into this weird compile time error the other day, and as it turned out, this is due to the limitation of Visual Studio 2005 deployment capabilities. Continue reading ‘Could not Find File ‘Microsoft.Windows.CommonLanguageRuntime’ Error’ »
Typically, there is rarely a need to change a control’s ID. However, this practice is sometimes useful when debugging a custom control, partiularly one that contains dynamically generated controls. Continue reading ‘Unexpected Event Behavior’ »
It seems that the DropDownList control in ASP.Net 2.0 really has some issues. Besides the one I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently ran into another annoying problem. Continue reading ‘A Strange Databinding Issue’ »
Reflection is case sensitive by default, which comes at no surprise to most C# developers. Continue reading ‘Reflection and Case Sensitivity’ »
In a role based application, it is often required that certain controls on the UI form be enabled and disabled based on user’s security credentials. Continue reading ‘Enable/Disable Controls using ControlCollection’ »
A while ago, I discussed some interesting behavior of File.Exist function in .Net. Recently I found out that File.Copy is just as elusive when UNC is involved. Continue reading ‘The Elusive File.Copy’ »
I came across something rather interesting the other day when trying to determine what sorting algorithms .Net Framework uses in its list class: The built-in sorting method runs much faster than the reverse-engineered and then compiled code, even though in theory the code being executed is identical.

There are already many good guides out there illustrating how to construct a weakly coupled system that dynamically loads in modules as needed. In .Net, this can be accomplished using reflection. Continue reading ‘Yet Another Guide to Dynamic Assembly loading and Execution Using Reflection’ »
