If you are looking to find out which dll's your target machine is missing then use depends.exe which used to come with MSDev, but can also be found [here](http://dependencywalker.com/). Testing this on a few target machines should tell you which dll's you need to package with your application.

Since you're looking to the MS-world, you may want to look at [F#](http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/fsharp.aspx). It offers the ability to extend its syntax to write domain specific languages (see [this link](http://tomasp.net/articles/fsharp-i-introduction/article.pdf), page 16 for sample code).

Unfortunately your user password is irretrievable. It has been hashed with a one way hash which if you don't know is irreversible. I recommend go with Xenph Yan above and just create an new one.

Typical way of creating a [CSV](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) string (pseudocode): 1. Create a CSV container object (like a StringBuilder in C#). 2.

New version of Management Studio (i.e. the one that ships with SQL Server 2008) finally has a Transact-SQL IntelliSense feature. However, out-of-the-box it only works with SQL Server 2008 instances. Is there some workaround for this?
Is there any trick that allows to use Management Studio's (ver. 2008) IntelliSense feature with earlier versions of SQL Server?

No, it can't do that since there is no way to express for a value. If the compiler should be able to do that, there would have to be a guarantee from the code returning the value that the value is constant, and for the duration of the loop won't change. But, in this case, you're free to add new rows to the data tabl...

Unfortunately, the statement isn't entirely true. If you install 3.5, it requires 2.0 SP1, which disrupt legacy applications that uses 2.0 and connects to Oracle database servers.

The version you are selecting in IIS is the version of the CLR to use. There are only two versions of the CLR. The .NET Framework 3.5 runs on CLR 2.0

Sure, download the 3.5 redistributable, install it on the servre, and you're good to go. .NET versions can be installed side-by-side, so it won't disrupt any "legacy" apps.

> if I install 3.5 and have IIS setup to use 2.0. I will be able to use 3.5 features? Yes, that is correct. You have IIS set to 2.0 for both 2.0 and 3.5 sites, as they both run on the same CLR. 3.5 uses a different compile method than 2.0. This is declared in the web.config for the site.

Not really. You can use reflection to achieve what you want, but it won't be nearly as simple as in Javascript. For example, if you wanted to set the private field of an object to something, you could use this function: ``` protected static void SetField(object o, string fieldName, object value) { FieldInfo field =...

All of that would definitely work. Personally, for that particular problem, I would probably take a little different approach.

You should do a CRC check on each file... from the wiki: [Cyclic redundancy check](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check), a type of hash function used to produce a checksum, in order to detect errors in transmission or storage. It produces an almost unique value based on the contents of the file.

I'd say yes. First, it will be easier to find the actual code files by following down the namespaces (say, when somebody e-mails you a naked exception call stack). If you let your folders go out of sync with namespaces, finding files in big codebases becomes getting tiring. Second, VS will generate new classes you cr...
