Some Assembly Required

During the course of teaching a customized offering of .NET Framework Fundamentals last week, I was showing a historical progression of delegate syntax options. As I’ve said before , I’ve found that explaining something new to an audience in terms...

Note: Don and I go way back, and this post was just intended as good natured ribbing. But in light of the fact that at least one other colleague could not tell that from the post, I figured I should point out explicitly that (a) I like and respect Don...

Over the years, I've used a variety of hex editors. In recent years, I've been lazy and just used the binary editor built into Visual Studio. But I recently discovered HxD , a free hex editor that I've really enjoyed working with. It loads and runs as...

Following up on this post , Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in version 6.6.7.5 of windbg . The good news is that the fix is scheduled to appear in the next release. The bad news is that, while there's no official date for that release, ballpark...

As a follow up to this post , it would seem that the disassembler in version 6.6.7.5 of WinDbg appears to be broken when it comes to disassembling normal JITed code. I haven't noticed any other issues, but this one is a killer for me, so I've reverted...

[Update: I forgot to mention the observation that, in the buggy installation of windbg, the target address that windbg shows for the call instruction in question appears to be the raw operand value for the call instruction -- without treating that value...

I just read a notice about Google's search facility specifically targeting searches of source code: Google Code Search . Have only given it the once over, but it looks interesting (primarily because it supports regular expressions and source language...

Towards the end of a course I was teaching last week, I gave my students an obfuscated programming challenge designed to test their understanding of several areas of both the CLR and C# that we'd been discussing throughout the course. In typical fashion...

On certain machines, I'm repeatedly using remote desktop to access a Windows 2003 server so that I can debug something running in the context of ASP.NET (web app, web service, etc). Since various apps and services on these machines are segregated in different...

Other than the part about Tab, this song about code monkeys is brilliantly accurate (and therefore funny :-). Via Jonathan Coulton's Thing a Week 29 .

Here's one for the "Huh…I didn't know that…although now that I do, it's probably not that important"-department. When you let the C# 2.0 compiler capture variables for use within the body of an anonymous method you're passing to someone, the class that...

If you're using my TinyURL utility that I originally described here , you'll need to grab the latest bits in order for the utility to continue working. It stopped working sometime this month (thanks to Medardas for bringing it to my attention). I had...

Reflecting over types has always been a pretty straight forward exercise. But reflecting over generic types : public class Foo<T> { ... } and/or types that have generic methods: public class MathUtils { public static T Max<T> (T x, T y) {...

I was fiddling around the other day with generics, generic collections, and anonymous methods, looking to see if they could be combined to provide a compact, elegant utility class and/or method that would make facilitate firing & forgetting an event...

Components that support the event-based asynchronous pattern significantly facilitate the use of asynchronous operations by making note of the synchronization context that is active when an asynchronous operation is started, and then using that context...
