I’ve run into the problem a few times now: How to pre-authenticate .NET WebRequest calls doing an HTTP call to the server – essentially send authentication credentials on the very first request instead of waiting for a server challenge first? At first glance this sound like it should be easy:…

Man I can't believe this. I'm still mucking around with OFX servers and it drives me absolutely crazy how some these servers are just so unbelievably misconfigured. I've recently hit three different 3 major brokerages which fail HTTP validation with bad or corrupt certificates at least according to…

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions…

I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with .NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into .NET code via COM Interop. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot…

Here’s a nice and simple path utility that I’ve needed in a number of applications: I need to find a relative path based on a base path. So if I’m working in a folder called c:\temp\templates\ and I want to find a relative path for c:\temp\templates\subdir\test.txt I want to receive back subdir\test…

I've come across odd behavior when comparing strings. First assert passes, but I don't think it should.. Second assert fails, as expected...
[Fact]
public void StringTest()
{
string testString_1 = "My name is Erl. I am a program\0";
string testString_2 = "My name is Erl. I am a program";

I'm using boost::program_options and it suffers from the same as many other c++ libs, even std itself: It still uses C-style null-terminated strings, because nobody really likes the weak std::string.
The method in question is:
options_description_easy_init&
operator()(const char* name,

Is this code correct?
char *argv[] = { "foo", "bar", NULL };

If the array was null-terminated this would be pretty straight forward:
unsigned char u_array[4] = { 'a', 's', 'd', '\0' };
std::string str = reinterpret_cast<char*>(u_array);
std::cout << "-> " << str << std::endl;
However, I wonder what is the most appropriate way to…
