I have read several threads regarding using ILMerge to combine all your
dlls with your exe to create one single exe file....I don't get it.
Why would you ever want to do this?

I'd like to know if there is a way that I could create a new object for each
product in an XML file.

I use sendMessage to retrieve information from another application.
For some obscur reasons, my code work only in a button click event and
nowhere else in my application.  I mean I get unexpected result
depending where the code is placed in my application ?!?!?!?!?

Is it possible to show a MessageBox(Yes&No button) and assume "No" was
clicked if nothing was clicked 10 seconds after the MessageBox begins to
appear?

Consider the following code:
           using(StreamReader fin = new StreamReader(filename))
           {
               // do work with fin

I'm using a webbrowser control within an application for the UI and want
to hide the flicker and redraw when changing pages. Ideally I want to
render the new page to a seperate offscreen buffer then fade this over
the exisiting page. Can anyone recommend a good way to approach ...

// SecureZeroMem.cpp
#include <windows.h>
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) PVOID __stdcall SecureZeroMem(IN
PVOID ptr, IN SIZE_T cnt)

They usually don't teach you in most textbooks I've seen that
delegates can be used to call class methods from classes that are
'unaware' of the delegate, so long as the class has the same signature
for the method (i.e., as below, int Square (int)).

Hey Guys,
     I'm totally flipping out. I developed an application which makes use
of the built in Visual Studio 2005 Crystal Reports components. I have
references on my solution which state:

On the coding practice side proper exception handling/logging will be
on the top of my list, followed by (in no specific order) null
checking, use of enumeration instead of return code, functions that do
way too much, ....

I've got an app with two classes, and one class (InventoryInfoClass)
is an object within the other class (InventoryItem).  I'm running into
problems with trying to access (get/set) a private variable within the
included class (InventoryInfo)  from the "including" class

I have a TcpClient.  I set the read/write timeouts at 1 minute (in
milliseconds).  I get a NetworkStream from it and confirm the timeouts
still exist.  I do a NetworkStream.Write() and then a
NetworkStream.Read().  Sometimes it sits and waits -- on the Write()

var result = new List<StockLevelRow>();
foreach(SomeClass c in SomeList)
   result.Add(

I changed the stdout in my C# app using Console.SetOut. It works fine
for all my Console.Out.Write calls and with log4net. However, I don't
see any output from native dlls that write to stdout. What am I doing
wrong?

If I'm reasonably familiar with C++ and am an expert at Visual Basic, what
principles should I apply in order to understand C# so that I could more
quickly learn the language?
