Hello, Is there a way to force the ReJit of a method?
One of the demos that I do in my 'Rooting the CLR' presentation is to do
real time MSIL patching.
The problem is that I need to apply the 'patches' before the JIT has

.net 1.1

Assembly called test.dll on c:\ and in gac.
call Loadfrom("c:\test.dll") ,  always loads it from c:\

I have a dll that I wrote in Visual Studio 2005 and would like to add it to
one of our older apps (CLR 1.1).
Can I do it? The machine has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed and the dll
doesn't do anything special.  It doesn't utilize Generics or anything..

i have an aspx page in a web project, which loads a user control
dynamically.  (by the
way i don't have any problems using namespaces in C# web projects, this
seems to be just a VB thing).

I need a mechanism for unifying constant objects.
Sort of like a generalization of String.Intern.
The constants can be nested (think pure Lisp or
immutable DOM).

In Java you can specify heap using ms mx options.
My C# app is chrunring on GC and I was wondering if perhaps presizing
the heap would improve performance. However I couldnt find any options
for this. Is tehre a way to do this in machine.config or app.config ?

I have an winform referencing another .net dll:
I would like to ask if the following works:
1. Library built in VS.Net 2002, and referenced in a WinForm created in
VS.Net 2005

can you redirect in app.config to an assembly when the public tokens
are different?

If IE load an assembly, I am wondering which version of clr IE will host?
if we have both 1.1 and 2.0 at client side.
Thanks

Why does a reference type occupies 8 bytes in memory?
I assume that 4 bytes are needed to identify the object's type (or for the
virtual table), but what about the remaining 4 bytes?
Second, why does the size of a structure that has only one byte in it, is

I and not sure if this is the correct forum to post this queston.  Any ideas
will be appreciated.
Need to call a base windows console command function (like dir or chkdsk)
and capture the results for further processing.  

I know that managed c++ is faster than c# because the ilcode of a mc++
application is pre optimized.
Would it then be possible to decompile a c# assembly as mc++ code and then
recompile it with a managed c++ compiler, gaining more performance? Is there

ENV: .Net 1.1, VS 2003, Windows Server 2003 SP1
We are seeing some issues with the Gen 2 heap unexpectledly increasing over
a lengthy period in an ASP.Net application.  To troubleshoot this we've been
using the 1.1 CLR profiler, this shows allocations, but I am unable to find

in my app i monitor the filesystem for changes with FileSystemWatchers.
When the change is detected the app performs some actions using Shell32
to obtain information from the filesystem. now the problem is that
apparently the CLR not always closes the file handles immediately.

I have a managed application compiled on .net 1.1 calling a unmanaged ACtive
X control which in turn uses a managed extension C++ COM dll compiled on .
Net 2.0. This causes the following exception to be generated in the managed
