LINQ will bloat the procedure cache If an application is using LINQ to SQL and the queries involve the use of strings that can be highly variable in length, the SQL Server procedure cache will become bloated with one version of the query for every possible string length. For example, consider the following very simple...

I was wondering the same as samjudson, why only to integers? and if that is the case, you might want to create a helper class or something like that to hold all the types you want. If all you want are integers, don't use a generic, that is not generic; or better yet, reject any other type by checking its type.

I've just learnt it over time - the box model is fairly simple but the main reason people find it hard is because `body` doesn't visibly break the model.

It might be faster if you use this. ``` (?<!\r)\n ``` It basically looks for any \n that is not preceded by a \r. This would most likely be faster, because in the other case, almost every letter matches [^\r], so it would capture that, and then look for the \n after that. In the example I gave, it would only stop...

Step 2 to 3 (i.e. Gmail to Hotmail) would normally happen through SMTP (or ESMTP - extended SMTP). Hotmail doesn't send anything to a client via POP3. It's important to understand some of the nuances here. The client contacts Hotmail via POP3 and requests its mail. (i.e. the client initiates the discussion).

Haven't fired up reflector to look at the difference but would one expect to see the exact same compiled code when comparing `Func<T, bool>` vs. `Predicate<T>` I would imagine there is no difference as both take a generic parameter and return bool?
Isn't Func<T, bool> and Predicate<T> the same thing after compilation?

So I'm interested in hearing different thoughts about what is the best way to go about unit testing XNA Game/Applications. Astute googlers can probably figure out why I'm asking, but I didn't want to bias the topic :-)

Here's where I'd start: 1. Get Process Explorer and show %Time in JIT, %Time in GC, CPU Cycles Delta, CPU Time, CPU %, and Threads. 2. You'll also want kernel and user time, and a couple of representative stack traces but I think you have to hit Properties to get snapshots. 3. Compare before and after shots. A cou...

The assumption below is not correct, I had a chance to fire up my IDE later and tested with and without Write and both populated the MemoryStream correctly. I think you need to write to your MemeoryStream first. As if my memory (no pun intended) serves me correctly this: ``` MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteA...

I'm no artist and I'm colorblind, but I have been able to do fairly well with track creation for Motocross Madness and other games of that type ([http://twisteddirt.com](http://twisteddirt.com) & [http://dirttwister.com](http://dirttwister.com)). Besides being familiar with the toolset I believe it helps to bring out...

Have you tried explicitly enabling double-buffering on the JList and/or the components that it is drawing over? (with:[setDoubleBuffered(boolean aFlag)](http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/JComponent.html#setDoubleBuffered(boolean))) Another thought is that you need to exit the function immediately afte...

Is it "taboo" to programatically create system restore points? I would be doing this before I perform a software update. If there is a better method to create a restore point with just my software's files and data, please let me know. I would like a means by which I can get the user back to a known working state if ...

You will run the risk of having incorrect data if you do not use UTC to transmit dates... If you change time zones on the device... you're dates will be even further off. You may want to use UTC and then calculate time in each timezone.

this might be way more than you need, but there is a django module called 'mptt' - this stores a hierarchical tree structure in an sql database, and includes templates for display in the view code. you might be able to find something useful there. here's the link : [django-mptt](https://github.com/django-mptt/django-...

We've had similar problems before, unfortunately I don't remember the exact solution. If your using a "Web Site" project (no project file) then start by checking that both your page and your control both set the ClassName property in the first line of your aspx/ascx file and that you specify the full name of the clas...

While writing a custom IHttpHandler I came across a behavior that I didn't expect concerning the HttpCachePolicy object. My handler calculates and sets an entity-tag (using the SetETag method on the HttpCachePolicy associated with the current response object). If I set the cache-control to public using the SetCacheabi...

I have a swf with loads text into a Sprite that resizes based on the content put into - I'd like though for the ones that are longer than the page to have the browser use its native scroll bars rather than handle it in actionscript (very much like [http://www.nike.com/nikeskateboarding/v3/](http://www.nike.com/nikeskat...
How can I resize a swf during runtime to have the browser create html scrollbars?

No, it's not Taboo - in fact, I'd encourage it. The OS manages how much hard drive takes, and I'd put money down on Microsoft spending more money & time testing System Restore than you the money & time you're putting into testing your setup application.
