I have learned quite a bit browsing through Hidden Features
of C# and was surprised when I couldn't find something
similar for VB.NET.
So what are some of its hidden or lesser known features?
hi everyone.

If I control both applications, what is the best way to communicate between 2 exe's written in VB.Net. For example, I want to drop an XML file from one app, and pick it up with the other, but I do not want poll for the file. I've heard of named pipes, but I found it was complicated. What's the most effecient way to do this?
I have a Asp.net web service running on www.domain.com/Service.svc that I connect to using jQuery from my asp.net website. Everything works perfect if the user access my website with www.domain.com. But if the user uses only domain.com I get error:
There was no channel actively listening at 'http://domain.com/Service.svc/get?date=2010-10-09'.
This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. Ensure that the address to which
the message is sent matches an address on which a service is listening.
In my web.config I use the serviceHostingEnvironment tag to get the service running on my webhost (it doesn't work otherwise). Maybe this is what causes the error?
Here is my system.serviceModel in web.config (I had some problems setting up the web service so that's why my web.config might be a bit messy:
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceAspNetAjaxBehavior">
<enableWebScript />
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true">
<baseAddressPrefixFilters>
<add prefix="http://www.domain.com"/>
</baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="Service">
<endpoint address="" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceAspNetAjaxBehavior"
binding="webHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ServiceBinding" contract="Service" />
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="ServiceBinding" maxBufferPoolSize="1000000" maxReceivedMessageSize="1000000">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="1000000" maxStringContentLength="1000000"
maxArrayLength="1000000" maxBytesPerRead="1000000" maxNameTableCharCount="1000000" />
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>

How can I make it possible for my users to access my webservice also when using only domain.com?
With windows and sql server accounts, I can access the logged in user with functions like: user_name() or suser_sname().
Can I access the user that is logged into asp.net in the same way?
Hi,
I wants to redirect to my asp.net intranet website from current JSP (java) site
by putting a url in my current in java site hosted under tomcat
Any suggestion really appreciated.
In VB.NET I often Catch ... When ...
Try
' Some code'
Catch e As ArgumentNullException When e.ParamName.ToUpper() = "SAMPLES"
' Handle the error'
End Try
Is there a C# equivalent to Catch ... When?
I don't want to resort to using an if statement inside a catch if possible.
I need to capture the 'Update' click event with jQuery in an asp.net GridView and have no way of knowing where to start. I'm still rather new to jQuery. My GridView is attached to a SQLDataSource and, naturally, has all the bells and whistles that that combination affords. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am looking for a finger print sdk that can run on .net compact frame work and can make use of the in built finger scanning hardware of pda's like hp ipaq etc .thanks
I am currently html encoding all user entered text before inserting/updating a db table record. The problem is that on any subsequent updates, the previously encoded string is reencoded. This endless loop is starting to eat up alot of column space in my tables. I am using parameterized queries for all sql statements but am wondering would it be safe to just let the .NET Framework handle this part without the HTML Encoding?
Correct me if I'm wrong - I understand a C#/.NET application's .csproj project file is effectively its makefile or build file.
A Website project does not have a .csproj file (not to be mixed up with Web Application which does). In the case of a Website project, can I create a makefile equivalent, or does it use a build process/instructions stored elsewhere in the system or app?
i want to create a schedule for my windows media player instance in form in vb.net so that to arrange and play them according to time automatically how can i do that..
The MSDN documentation for using an asynchronous controller mentions choosing an asynchronous controller when you want to provide a way for users to cancel requests.
I couldn't find any documentation related to actually allowing users to cancel asynchronous requests, however. Is there a way to indicate to ASP.Net and/or the MVC framework that a request should be canceled?

Hi,
does anyone have any idea how I can get started building a search engine for my asp.net mvc site using entity framework. I plan to build something like: http://www.carsguide.com.au/search/?N=4294962119++492&type=cars
there on the left there is a refine search option panel.
What's the best approach to design a model for the UI and optimized query with entity framework.
I need to call an API that's all in java from an existing .NET codebase. What's the best approach here? Writing a webservice in java that basically just forwards the calls to the API - or going with something like JNI4NET?
Hopefully this isn't a duplicate, but does anyone know of any (good) ORMs that work with SQL Compact Edition, and can run in the .NET Compact Framework (e.g. Windows Mobile 5-6.x)?
What would be best practice to localize your ASP .Net MVC application ?
I would like to cover two situations:
one application deployment in IIS which would handle multiple languages
one language / application deployment.
In first situation should you go with somekind of view based thing like, ~/View/EN, ~/View/FI, ~/View/SWE or something different ?
What about second case, just application based config via Web.config and point these different languages to different urls ?
We use Xunit.net as our unit test framework for use on our .NET4 assemblies. We have it integrated into our TFS 2010 team builds quite successfully.
I now want to add code coverage to the nightly builds as well.
Does anyone have a list of coverage tools that work on 4.0 assemblies and could be integrated into our automated builds?

Or any other Event Broker / Aggregator which preferably supports string based event pub/sub
