Help! References not showing in Publish Application Filkes section.
I my vb.net project references many dlls which usually show up in the publish application files section so i can exclude/include them. But now my Application Files do not show most of my references...i have tried removing/add with no luck..any suggestion?I previously was able to select these file and change them to include for third party controls! It driving me crazy! Is your website http://www.intellixperience.com/signup.aspx being IntelliXperienced? regards Anthony (*12QWERNB*) Is your website being IntelliXperienced?
Creating a Data Service that can be consumed from Excel (using C#)
Any one knows how to make some type of services that can be consumed from Excel? On Excel Data Ribbon, From Other Sources has connecting to Sql Serever table, Is there a way to have something like WebService etc. that is written in C# and one can connect to from Excel in a similar manner? Regards

Hi Mike,

I'd probably prefer to leave this to a tool like ADPlus rather than have
application code (particularly managed application code) do it. There
doesn't seem much advantage of trying to capture the information from a
process in a state of distress.
I've found Adplus to be completely useless, compared to this
technique. I get dmp files of the code when it's running perfectly
(from customer submitted dmp files from ADPlus), rather than a dmp
file that shows where it has failed. You don't need to tell a
customer what to do, just get them to send the dmp file/s. You simply
need to be disciplined about what you call from inside the code that
is generating the file. (and that probably does make it hard for
dotnet code(but this is done in a c++ codebase), but it also includes
not calling a lot of the CRT) Even if you do get the customer to use
ADplus correctly, the error might not show up for another 6 months or
so.

I find that there are very few times that you actually need to handle
exceptions. Very few.
Rampant exceptional handling creates more nightmares than it solves. It
makes debugging almost impossible as your code stops at the wrong lines in
the wrong classes in the wrong projects.
No, my friends, exception handling is generally poorly handled by all but
the most experienced developers.
Have a read of this article from Eric Lippert -

x - he sums it up nicely I think.
Fatal exceptions: you might want to do something like write out a

Subject: Ignoring excpetions in catch
I thought only the beginner programmers or programmers without any
pride in their work or self discipline would write code like this:
try
{
//some code goes here
}
catch
{
//No code here just business as usual, do nothing about the exceptions!
}
but maybe I am wrong, this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319465 was
unexpected!
in the code in the above link are there any reasons for
1)Checking the type, or more generally first checking that at least
the minimum requirements of an operations will be satisfied before
using a sledge hammer?
2)Using some other (better) code e.g. reflection etc. would be
definitely more preferable to ignoring excpetion?
3)Any other suggestions?

Arjang

That is potentially a pretty dangerous risk for a client to accept isn't it? Unless it contains some kind of proprietary algorithm or something I'm not sure it's a great idea.

Re: .NET Obfuscator Software..free!
Well most clients I have dealt with in the past end up with the source code. After all, clients have been accepting obfuscated code since time immemorial already! (Well, at least since the 1980s.) That's what compiled code is! Unless you wanted to reverse engineer to assembly language, pretty much everything was obfuscated. In the form of a product that is true. But if that were the case I would expect the OP would have wanted to obfuscate the entire solution. As there is a single binary to be obfuscated (and it gets used a lot) it sounds more likely that it is being used in custom software that is developed for a single client. For the client: If they purchase a library then they get a support contract so if things go wrong they get fixed If they use an open source library then they get the code so they can fix issues or pass them on to someone to fix. If the developer hands them a library which is neither they could be in trouble. If you are selling a product with support then this is OK because you have an agreement with the client that you'll fix anything that goes wrong. If you were to have a falling out with the client over an invoice or something (it happens) then they effectively have a piece of software that only you (someone they no longer wish to do business with) can maintain. As a client I would consider that an unacceptable risk.
