When using either the C# equality operator '==' or the object.Equals()

I have a situation where an app writes data of various types (primitives and
objects) into a single dimensional array of objects. (This array eventually
becomes a row in a data table, but that's another story.) The data is
written once and then read many times. Each primitive read ...

In our project, we used XSD.exe to create the classes, not dataset, which
represent the data entities from xsd files for passing among the tiers.
We want to set the default value for all numeric fields to be -1 in our data
entity classes. I know this can be done by setting the ...

All,

Hi.. I created a .NET windows service that transfers data from and to
different data sources.  I would like to use thread pooling  to add the

I've a migration scenario where I rewrite a COM object to an .NET interop
assembly (so, still callable from COM). What is the impact if I continue my
step-by-step migration and have a scenario where my .NET objects start to

Every method I can think of for sorting a directory by file modified date is
very slow, as it appears that the .NET libraries need to do an Open &
GetInfo on every single file entry.
I've tried building an array of .FileModified dates to use for the sort, and

Does anyone know when there will be a faster
implementation of Sorting in c#, because sorting
of only 300 Strings is extremly slow. And implementing
sorting for objects via CompareTo is also much too

Does anyone have a good reference to the inner workings

Specifically, I'd like to know how a PerformanceCounter

We are currently looking at upgrading a large web app on
ASP Clasic & VB6, to .NET.  To justify the spend, we need
some indication of expected performance increases if we do
a straight port.  I've seen figures indicating ASP.NET

Has anyone written or come across a windows form control
