Changes in this release: Added CSharpTest.Net.Generators.exe to integrate with the CmdTool’s VS integration: Provides ResX loose-typed string formatting via simply using “{0}” in a resource string. Provides ResX strong-typed string formatting via resource names like “Name(string x)” Adds exception generation to resources via names like “NameException” Exceptions can be derived from explicit type via comments: [...]
So first off this is not new, it’s been around for a long, long while. One issue I have with IDisposable is that for whatever reason .Net did not include a base class for handling the details… I admit you may not always be able to leverage it since you may have a base class, [...]

This one is actually something of a triviality, yet it can be very useful at times. Now a word of caution is due here, this object is built on System.Threading.Timer and should not be used to enqueue 12 million work items. Yet if you need to perform a simple task at some time in the [...]

Recently I was killing time on stackoverflow and found this question: What is the best comment in source code you have ever encountered? There are a lot of great quotes in there. If you haven’t seen it already it worth a read when you want to kill some time. I’d also add my own to [...]
As promised in the previous post “How to implement a generic Shallow-Clone for an object in C#” this will demonstrate deep-cloning objects that don’t explicitly support the behavior. Before I continue I will again state that I don’t recommend this approach. It will be many times slower than a properly implemented Clone() and can cause [...]

Changes in this version: CSBuild initial release – a command-line compilation utility that drives MSBuild to compile designated project files. Added Library.Cloning namespace to support deep-object cloning of any object using either memberwize or serializable copy. Added Library.Collections.ReadOnlyList to provide a read-only collection interface and implementation. Added Library.Collections.OrdinalList to provide a collection of integers stored [...]
