I saw this functionality in older versions of VS.Net (2003 I think). It may still exist in current versions, but I haven't encountered it. Seems that files with the same name, even in different directories confuse VS.Net, and it ends up setting a break point in a file with the same name. May only happen if the class...

While performance is an issue, I think modern database designs have made it much less of an issue for small files. Performance aside, it also depends on just how tightly-coupled the data is. If the file contains data that is closely related to the fields of the database, then it conceptually belongs close to it and ma...

I am reading in CSV file and translating it to an SQL Table. The kicker is that one of the columns in the table is of data type ID that needs to be set to a constant (in this case 2). I am not sure how to do this.
How do I add a constant column value during data transfer from CSV to SQL?

I have a generic class that should allow any type, primitive or otherwise. The only problem with this is using `default(T)`. When you call default on a value type or a string, it initializes it to a reasonable value (such as empty string). When you call `default(T)` on an object, it returns null. For various reasons we...

Those differences are not really important according to the XHTML standard. In other words, they are exactly the same thing. Also, if you replace double quotes with single quotes would be the same. The typical way of 'normalizing' an xml document is to pare it using some API that treats the document as its Infoset r...

You can use [precompiler directives](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ed8yd1ha.aspx) within Visual Studio. The #if directive will allow you to determine if you are going to include code or not based on your custom solution configuration.

The answer is: . Seriously. Use a SGML parser, or an XML parser if you happen to know it's valid XML (probably almost never true). You will absolutely screw up and waste tons of time trying to get it right. Just use what's already available.

One common use of delegates for generic Lists are via Action delegates (or its anonymous equivalent) to create a one-line foreach operation: ``` myList.Foreach( i => i.DoSomething()); ``` I also find the Predicate delegate quite useful in searching or pruning a List: ``` myList.FindAll( i => i.Name == "Bob"); m...

Use threads in python if the individual workers are doing I/O bound operations. If you are trying to scale across multiple cores on a machine either find a good [IPC](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/) framework for python or pick a different language.

I've done a little more investigation into the Mongrel source and it turns out that Mongrel installs a signal handler to catch an standard process kill (TERM) and do a graceful shutdown, so I don't need a special procedure after all.

Is your type not public, if so, call the overload that takes in a boolean: ``` Activator.CreateInstance(type, true); ``` Also, in your first example, see if o is null and if not, print out o.GetType().Name to see what it really is.
