Do you use ILMerge? Do you use ILMerge to merge multiple assemblies to ease deployment of dll's? Have you found problems with deployment/versioning in production after ILMerging assemblies together? I'm looking for some advice in regards to using ILMerge to reduce deployment friction, if that is even possible.

Using ASP.NET MVC just whipped up a quick bit of code using the .NET XML generation library and then just passed that to a view page that had an XML control on it. In the code-behind I tied the control with the ViewData. This seemed to override the default behaviour of view pages to present a different header.

The only problem I have with them is that they don't go far enough. The same release of the compiler that added automatic properties, added partial methods. Why they didnt put the two together is beyond me. A simple "partial On<PropertyName>Changed" would have made these things really really useful.

This might be counter-intuitive for some, but we use the dreaded Hungarian notation for UI elements. The logic is simple: for any given data object you may have two or more controls associated with it. For example, you have a control that indicates a birth date on a text box, you will have: - - - For that, I would ...

I don't, but I appreciate your logic. I guess the reason most people don't is that underscores would look kind of ugly in the Properties window at design time. It'd also take up an extra character of horizontal space, which is at a premium in a docked window like that.

My approach was 1. Write some libraries and interfaces to serialize your objects into REST-compatible XML. You can't neccessarily just use the built-in serializers, because your service may not accept the same kind of XML that .NET wants to give you.

> yield, var, lambda syntax, anon types and initialisers are all compiler cleverness. The IL they produce is cross-compatible. Minor nit-picking point, but yield was a 2.0 feature anyway.

I am now in the process of planning the deployment of a SharePoint solution into a production environment. I have read about some tools that promise an easy way to automate this process, but nothing that seems to fit my scenario. In the testing phase I have used SharePoint Designer to copy site content between the dif...

On the basis that this thread should be entitled "", my personal feature is asynchronous delegates. Until I read Jeff Richter's C#/CLR book (excellent book, everyone doing .NET should read it) I didn't know that you could call delegate using `BeginInvoke` / `EndInvoke`. I tend to do a lot of `ThreadPool.QueueUserWor...

Maybe you're closing Visual Studio while some other instance is still alive. The settings of the last instance that is closed is the one that will be applied.
