Versioning Issues With Optional Arguments(haacked.com)

VerCache Madness with .NET ActiveX Controls(www.atalasoft.com)

submitted by Rickasaurus(1225) 1 year, 10 months ago

Design Patterns – Which to use When? Take the Quiz!(dotnetcube.com)

submitted by dncdude(1350) 2 years, 7 months ago

I received several questions on how to pick a Design Pattern, which motivated me to write this post. As it was mentioned in the Design Patterns overview article, there is no rule of thumb in selecting a Design Pattern. Developers should not choose a design pattern and design a solution around it. Instead they need to analyze at a higher level, the problem they are attempting to solve and pick a Design Pattern that is most appropriate. read more...

System.Drawing Round-Trip PixelFormat Stability(atalasoft.com)

submitted by Rickasaurus(1225) 2 years, 7 months ago

A great deal is only partially implemented and there is quite a lot of undocumented behavior. Today I hope to help a bit with this problem by running some tests on System.Drawing.dll v2.0.50727 and documenting the results. read more...

Thread Pool using Core-Affine Threads(cygon.nuclex.org)

submitted by Cygon(134) 2 years, 8 months ago

Article with source code for a ThreadPool replacement which uses the XBox 360's hardware threads (which are only used when threads are assigned to them explicitly). Common problems with manually assigned processor affinity on desktop PCs are highlighted and the author shows a solution that allows the operating system to reschedule threads while still yielding comparable behavior to the explicit affinity model used by the XBox 360. read more...
