Double-clicking Visual Studio solution files in Windows 7
I guess I am not the only one annoyed by the fact that I could not open Visual Studio by double-clicking a solution file. Finally I looked into this problem and first found a simple, but not satisfying solution:
By setting Visual Studio to not run as an administrator. But if you ever tried running Visual Studio on Windows 7 without admin rights, you know this is not a satisfying solution!
Memoization using generics – Part 2
This is Part 2 of my series on Memoization. In Part 1 I described the basic principles behind memoization, and showed some examples on how to create an effective generic method to do memoization of methods with zero and one parameter. In this post I will show how to do memoization of methods with two parameters
Memoization using generics and lambda expressions
Memoization is a hidden treasure of programming techniques. Most developers has a good understanding of caching and use it to optimize queries, but why even do calculations on cached or live data, when you don’t need to calculate at all?
Adding C# and ASP.Net code to Blogger
Many developers ask, how can I paste C# code in my blog? I have looked into several ways of doing this, my verdict: Use Windows Live Writer!
Logging in .Net: a short study
I have been using different third-party logging tools for both .Net (C# and C++) and Java, but in my current project we are using a custom logging tool. Don't ask me why we have written our own framework for this, but I guess it's partly because we have worked on our current code base since before .Net 1.0 was released, hence I guess the number of available frameworks at that time was quite limited. But now I am tired of spending time and money maintaining code we could get for free elsewhere!
Using icons in windows applications
Today I came across the same problem that I have had many times earlier: I need a new icons in an application, this time for a refresh button. So what do I do? I Google it ofcourse and get hundreds of hits to all kind of crappy icon libraries, most of the costing me a fortune!
