I'm having some problems running an application hosted
within IE that do not appear to occur when running
normally.
I start the application from another managed app with the

What's the difference, from the OS point of view, between Monitors and
Mutexes?
I'm almost sure that the Mutex object is a wrapper to the native win32 mutex
(if I create a named managed Mutex, I can see it with winobj)

I've been struggling with this for a while to no avail.
I have an internal application which uses remoting to
launch AppDomains and load/unload user assemblies. I'm
trying to integrate it with Visual Studio .NET as an add-

Is there a good in depth (web) reference describing the process that
the CLR goes through when it runs a .NET executable.
In particular we are interested in when and how the .exe file is
checked and loaded into memory and all the assemblies (both

What I am trying to do:
I want to write a regression test program that will automatically select and
use a specific version of a DLL, based on criteria it won't know till the test
program starts (for instance, what was the last version successfully tested for

When I run debug with a breakpoint set the breakpoint
appears with a "?". When I place the mouse pointer over
the breakpoint the following information is provided:

I seem to have found a bug in the BitVector32 structure.  
Programatically, it is not possible to check the value of
the highest bit (32nd) using BitVector32.get_Item(int).  
Setting the bit works as expected.

my problem is as follows:
abstract class A
{
abstract Foo();

In Visual Basic .Net, I am trying to figure out how to
get a reference to the open window that the mouse is in.  
Suppose I select (highlight) text on a web page shown on
an Internet Explorer window, and then click on a toolbar

I have seen a very strange piece of code being generated by the C# compiler
and was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on it. I've reduced
the example down to a bare minimum and I am using the .NET 1.1 framework.
Here is the C# code:

The questions I have may be obvious and perhaps somewhat nitpicky, but I'd
like some clarification so I know that I am not misinterpreting anything.
In Partition I, section 12.4.2, Exception handling, it states...
"There are four kinds of handlers for protected blocks. A single ...

I posted this message on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms
since the original thread related to an error that results when trying to
show a form when I create it on a worker thread. (Error creating window
handle.) The problem only occurs when I manually host the CLR and ...

since value types don't have to be dereferenced, they're supposed to be
faster than reference types (exceptions aside). To prove this, I developed a
testprg in VB and to my surprise and the opposite proofed! I looked at the
IML-Code and noticed, that the VB-compiler "invented" an ...

I'm using the Compact Framework and I want to create an instance of a
delegate from a MethodInfo but Delegate.CreateDelegate() isn't supported on
the CF.
So can anyone tell me how to do this "long hand" in C#. I'm using a custom

If I have an object which is about to become finalized, and this object has
instantiated several other objects during its lifetime, how can I be sure
(or find out) that those objects haven't been killed by the GC, already?
Take, for example, a class that uses a FileStream-object ...
