Hi
How does a .NET application know what version of the framework to use by default. For example I have framework version 1.0 and 1.1 on my machine. When I develope an App using VS.NET 2002 it uses framework 1.0. How does the app know it
Is this info stored in the assembly

I have a scheduling application that runs several assemblies every 5 - 20 minutes. Assemblies to run are loaded from file
dim a as [Assembly
a = [Assembly].LoadFrom("assembly_file")
then types that implement custom interface are found and executed in a new thread. When thread is ...

I was interested under which conditions the CTS grants access to program entities. So I took a closer look at the CLI Standard (mostly Partition I, section 8.5.3). What I found there didn't make sense to me. For instance, consider the following MSIL program
public class Outer

I'm guessing that NullReferenceExceptions are by far the most common exceptions thrown in .net.
Why not add the type of the reference to the message?  Have it say something like:
Object reference of type 'string' not set to an instance of an object.
This would really help when ...

it is my understanding that to support generics the CLR (at least the IL) had to be extended with new instructions. I have been wandering around the ms site looking for ducumentation without succses, can anyone point me in the right direction?
thanks

Everyday when I try to build my solution I get the message that I am missing
the assembly reference to the DSO dll.
Then I have to execute the MS SQL Server 2000 Analysis Services SP3 again to
retain the assembly reference for the DSO.

I have been attempting to find a way to [programmically] add printers to a
server.  This requires that a new port be added.  I have not been able to
find a means to accomplish this.
I did find some *old* posts for using the AddPortEx/AddPrinter APIs from the

I am trying to write a utility method/function in c# to resize an array, the
problem I have encountered is how to safely get the Type of the items in the
array, even when the array is empty.
Here is how the code I wrote:

I am trying to accomplish something like this: (C# pseudocode)
class MySample
{
IBigObject _value;

I encounter a strange problem using platform invoke using C#.
The senario is this:
I have a dll which uses a 3rd party static link library (lib). Inside the lib, there are some C structures defined by not exposed to user, in the dll, that data type can be treated as an opaque type.

I'm trying to get my brain around the CLR! Can somebody tell me if the
following are correct? Thanks.
1. The CLR runs each managed application in its own application domain, but
there can be several application domains within the same process.

We have a .NET dll that we are deploying to our customers using a deployment
project in VS .NET 2003. There is a lot of information about creating
publisher policies on the web, but we have not been successful in creating
one. Here's what the ultimate goal is:

Is it possible to get a Type reference to the currently executing type from
a Static method?
public class foo

Hi Avon
Last night I was able to duplicate your experiment with your sample classes with debug point at the parent class constructor
On the stack dump, I did see the test class's main methos at the bottom of the stack, abov
