No, there is no built-in way to set the value of a property with metadata. You could use a factory of some sort that would build instances of a class with reflection and then that could set the default values. But in short, you need to use the constructors (or field setters, which are lifted …
I just faced this issue now: I reinstalled the optimization framework and everything worked fine: Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
You don’t need to be constantly updating your production work to use the latest and greatest technology. But you should stay knowledgable about what is out there and what is being created. There will come a time when it is appropriate to start using the new technology, but that all heavily depends on your projects …
You can change keyboard bindings in the Tools->Options dialog. It’s under Environment->Keyboard. You can reset the binding here, and also check what might have stolen it by checking what’s currently bound to those keys. If you recently installed any add-ins, they’re known to set (sometimes unwanted) keyboard shortcuts.
What type are you interested in? The return type of the method/property/event etc? If so, I don’t think there’s anything in MemberInfo to let you get at it directly – you’ll need to cast and use MethodInfo.ReturnType, PropertyInfo.PropertyType, FieldInfo.FieldType, EventInfo.EventHandlerType and any others I’ve forgotten. (Remember that types themselves can be members. Not sure what …
If i do that i will then need to specify the full namespace name before my static class in order to access it? No, there is no need for that, though the details depend on the class that will use these types and the using declarations it has. If you only use one of the …
The “pre Windows 2000” name i.e. DOMAIN\SomeBody, the Somebody portion is known as sAMAccountName. So try: using(DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(“LDAP://MyDomainController”)) { using(DirectorySearcher adSearch = new DirectorySearcher(de)) { adSearch.Filter = “(sAMAccountName=someuser)”; SearchResult adSearchResult = adSearch.FindOne(); } } [email protected] is the UserPrincipalName, but it isn’t a required field.
Yes you can, Guid allows you to create a Guid using a byte array, and RNGCryptoServiceProvider can generate a random byte array, so you can use the output to feed a new Guid: public Guid CreateCryptographicallySecureGuid() { using (var provider = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider()) { var bytes = new byte[16]; provider.GetBytes(bytes); return new Guid(bytes); } }
I suggest that you convert ThrowSpecificFault(ex) to throw SpecificFault(ex); the SpecificFault method would return the exception object to be thrown rather than throwing it itself. Much cleaner. This is the pattern recommended by Microsoft’s guidelines.
Writing someDelegate(…) is a compiler shorthand for someDelegate.Invoke(…). They both compile to the same IL—a callvirt instruction to that delegate type’s Invoke method. The Invoke method is generated by the compiler for each concrete delegate type. By contrast, the DynamicInvoke method, defined on the base Delegate type, uses reflection to call the delegate and is …
