• Re: string.Empty vs ""

  As far as I'm concerned, it's a question of productivity vs. performance, not a question of performance or correctness alone. If you really want to sit there and type S-t-r-i-n-g-.-E-m-p-t-y, go right ahead. It's worth it if you have an awful lot of empty strings in loops. ;) That said, I once created a macro (as a result of reading this thread, a couple years ago), that would detect when I typed "" and replace it with String.Empty. I removed it after a few weeks because it

• Re: Issuetracker and ASP.Net 2.0?

  Xanderno: Xiaoth: Yes. Persisted authentication credentials via encrypted cookies broke after updating the site to run on ASP.NET 2.0. Resolution was to either delete the cookies on the web browser or have an error handling routine to reset the cookies. We chose the latter, but now the cookie doesn't persist longer than 30 min... still looking into it. To be fair though (and pedantic, while I'm at it :-) ) that's not an issue with Issue Tracker...That's an issue with changing the runtime environment

  Dycacian: I am at a point where I would like to upgrade to .Net 2.0, but I don't want to break IssueTracker. Has anyone has issues with this? If so what were the issues. Any info would be great.

• Re: Commercial Alternatives?

  irasmith: I have a discussion forum on my site at http://www.irarichardsmith.net/Forums/tabid/56/mid/370/groupid/2/Default.aspx that is meant to be a place to post comments, requests, or other discussion about my future work on this product. Unless you work for Microsoft and your output becomes official for v2, there's no reason not to keep the discussion right here. Everyone using the Starter Kit is expanding upon it, and those discussions are what this forum is for.

• Re: Commercial Alternatives?

  Thanks for replying. I finally downloaded and took a peek at Axosoft's On Time 2006. It does have a so-called SDK which is little more than some XML web services slapped onto the web site. However, the web-based part of the solution on the whole is built in ASP.NET and SQL Server, so although not everything is directly tweakable on each page and component, the .aspx pages themselves can be appended-to or replaced (in theory). There are some things I like and dislike about the Issue Tracker kit. It

• Commercial Alternatives?

  Our team has modified this starter kit extensively, but there are so many areas that need an overhaul that I'd just as soon encourage my managers to get a commercial package. Can anyone recommend a feature-complete, ASP.NET 2.0 based commercial alternative that is developer-extensible? I have looked at OnTime 2006 but I don't think it's extensible. Thanks, Jon

• Re: string.Empty vs ""

  StrongTypes: This is a pointless debate in the developer world, but "" creates an object instance while String.Empty does not. I generally tend to use String.Empty over "". HTH, Ryan Why is it pointless? String.Empty is a whole lot more typing than "". There is a performance difference but it's pretty minor. In the tests below, the "" operations loop took up 15.85 to 15.88 seconds, while the String.Empty operations loop took up 15.82 to 15.87 seconds. private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs

• Select and attach to specific COM EXE instance as COM object

  I am working with an application that is compiled as a COM EXE (written in Delphi 7). I don't know if it's the nature of COM EXE or if it's implemented in the COM EXE, but when I create a new object based on the COM interface using C#, it references the first process/instance it finds of this interface. This is not ideal for me; I would like to create a modal dialog box that makes the user select which process to "attach" to. I asked the developer of the app as to how to "select" which COM instance

• Career Derailment

  I'm faced with a bit of a dillemma. After three years or so doing ASP classic and VB / VBscript / SQL Server development, I quit my job and spent four years focusing full-time on C# by doing a personal project without pay, solely for the purpose of catching up with .NET, while also doing consulting work in ASP.NET on the side so I could eat. My personal project was a Windows application, www.powerblog.net , that I built in VB6 in a year and then rewrote in C# over two years. I attempted to market

Integrating multiple isolated projects in the same directory is now impossible." 1) C# web projects are not compiled like java where a strict namespace/classname structure must be observed.
