A few days, a colleague posted some insights on Design Principles here (http://www.proteans.com/CS/Web/blogs/agilerup/archive/2005/07/06/18.aspx). There were very interesting topics, discussed briefly, and one of them was about the emphasis one should have, when designing, on integration. I have had some thoughts on the same too, and here they...

Likes - Clean Solution/Project     Helps out to clean the solution/project output. Cleans out Copy Local assemblies, as well as the compilation output of the project. Reference properties - specific version (true/false)     Very useful if different developer machines have different versions of components (though...

End users interact with your software only through the User Interface, and therefore, you must understand that for them the User Interface is the software. Architects, and developers in general forget this, and are predominently concentrating on design patterns, antipatterns, language nuances, tiering and layering, data communication between...

Thought about starting a quiz series, a question every friday kind of. So todays question is :Who wrote the first "Hello World" program? I might know it, but I am not sure. Do you know?

Many a time you might face this issue. Especially when you are using a third party component, which uses an older version of an assembly, of which you are using a newer version. Pre 2.0 (and I do not know for sure of 2.0) compiler compliant to the CLS do not support the functionality of a static reference of two differently versioned assemblies...

  There were a few mistakes in the last post on the AppDomain.Unload solution (thanks Manoj for pointing out) (John Papa wanted to know why I did not use LoadFile, thanks John, now I know should have written that MarshalByRef, just forgot it completely.) And sorry for this delayed update, damn weekend. First of all,I missed to mention...

Well we ended up writing a VS.Net plugin to add to our developer testing tools (something like NUnitPlugin, but different). Not much, but almost the whole program was written and then there was this problem that all VS.Net plug-in writers face, atleast once in their life. Namely, you load an assembly, using Assembly.Load, but then how do you...

 From John Papa's post to Jackie Goldstien's that quoted Pablo Castro[MS], got these words that were somewhere in my mind but never expressed. Thanks all.In general, having multiple overloads where the distinguishing parameter type is “object” in one of them is a dangerous thing to do.

Off late I have been using this term a lot, since I read about it in a Stephen Covey book. A wicked problem is a problem that could only be defined by solving it, or part of it. I have been busy currently on a product that manages more than a GB of data transfer between servers and automates several workflows, and God knows how many wincked...
