One of our .NET developers had problems with a ASP.NET application on his machine. Looking at the event viewer there was the following entry:Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( .NET Runtime ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is...
Why doesn't the IntelliSense show the Closed event of a form in WinForms 2.0 application?You don't see this member because it is decorated with the EditorBrowsable attribute passing the enum value EditorBrowsableState.Never to its constructor. The IntelliSense engine in Visual Studio doesn't show members that are marked as Never. This doesn't mean that you can't use this event because you can.Why did the designers decide to mark the Closed event as being never browsable? The answer...

There have been many discussions in the past about when to use the Equals() vs the equality operator when comparing value and reference types and I had one discussion today as well that were performance related to Equals() vs == comparisons.First let's take a look about what the MSDN Library has to say about the Equals() method (especially in the remarks section):The default implementation of Equals supports reference equality for reference types, and bitwise equality for value types. Reference...

Well I was a bit surprised about this update especially since I didn't read about it on any of the blogs in my RSS Feedreader. Apparently Microsoft released yesterday (10th October 2006) a Security Update for System.Web.dll. Apparently there is a cross-site scripting vulnerability (categorized as moderate risk) that allows malicious users to compromise a computer running ASP.NET 2.0 and in doing so steal confidential data. Versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the .NET Framework are not affected. I guess that...

These last couple of days a discussion has been started on how to call the new TimeZone datatype in the Base Class Library that supports the new TimeZone API's from Windows Vista. The team responsible is going for the name TimeZone2. If I had to choose a smiley to go with this new name I would not know which one to choose from these: [:O] [:(] [:S] [:|] [:'(] [:$] [:@] [:^)] [8o|] [^o)] [+o(] [*-)] [8-)]. This is the WTF of the week! Omer van Kloeten has nicely summarized the related blog...
Today someone came with the following question:I have a DataSet with a DataTable and I have set the property Caption of the DataColumn "InvNbr" to "Invoice Number". However when I bind my DataSet to the DataGridViewControl it will show the Name property of the DataColumn instead of the Caption and according to the MSDN Library the Caption property should be used to display a friendly-name, no?He was right about the fact that the Caption property should be used by UI controls for...
