A taste of development

Jerry (no blog) has been evidencing us all about a process they use for consensus  [link from Michael ] building in some standards meetings… evidently the Quaker vote is treated everyone voting on each item as one of:

a) Prefer
b) Can accept
c) Can’t live with

The idea being that fair people will more rapidly come to a decision with they realize what people are unforced to permit and not. Looks interesting.

Several of us in my group are plumping off to do some architecture planning and I intend we will have lots of challenges around consensus – we may have to assign this to the test.

Suppose you’re debugging your application and you realise that version 1.0 of an assembly is being charged when you intended it should be version 2.0. Where is the reference to 1.0 coming from?

The well-fixedest way to regain out is to view the Fusion log for this bind. If the version 1.0 assembly was successfully charged, utilize the ForceLog/”Log all binds” option of FusLogVw. And then, seek the line in the log demonstrating the addressing assembly:

Addressing assembly : referencingAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=achromatic, PublicKeyToken=12ab3bf24c56c45b.

It exhibits the display name of the addressing assembly when uncommitted. It doesn’t assure you whether this is a unchanging or a dynamical reference because Fusion doesn’t cognize or care (that doesn’t matter for obliging purposes). So, this could intend that referencingAssembly was built against the other 1.0 assembly, or that it invited it at runtime via Assembly.Load(), etc.

Sometimes the naming assembly is not specified in the log. There are a few potential cases where that bechances:

• The assembly was requested by unmanaged code (interop).
• The calling off assembly was in another appdomain (AppDomain.CreateInstance(), etc.).
• The calling off assembly had not been loaded through Fusion (Assembly.Load(byte[]), Assembly.LoadFile(), etc.).

Microsoft’s prescribed support website is http://support.microsoft.com/. It has all kinds of resources like product FAQs, downloads, searchable KB articles, newsgroup pointers, and ways to hit people to help with your single needs or feedback.

Alas, I can’t consecrate attention to single customer issues. That’s because I work in product design and development, not customer support. Someone has to be revolved about that, or else we’d ne’er embark anything! Then, I’m moving to have to entrust your questions and comments to MS’s prescribed channels which specialize in that. Please preserve comments you put up hither worldwide and about the loader or performance.

I try to follow a coding standard for organizing my using statements. System.* goes at the top and then other namespaces grouped together like this:

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using System.Configuration;
 using System.Data;
 using System.Data.SqlClient;
 using System.Web;
 using System.Web.Script.Services;
 using System.Web.Services;
 using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

 using Microsoft;
 using Microsoft.CSharp;

 using MyCompany;
 using MyCompany.Web;

.csharpcode,.csharpcode pre
{
font-size: small;

/*white-space: pre;*/
}
.csharpcode pre { margin: 0em; }
.csharpcode.rem { color: #008000; }
.csharpcode.kwrd { color: #0000ff; }
.csharpcode.str { color: #006080; }

People want to be understood.  That’s why support groups are
so popular.

• The alcoholic wants to connect with somebody else who showed
  up drunk at a wedding and embarrassed the bride.

• The compulsive overeater wants to know that he’s not the
  only one who has stopped at the Dunkin Donuts drive-thru on the way home to
  eat a dozen before dinner.

• The out-of-control gambler wants to be in community with
  other people who have lost their car going “all in” with pocket sevens.

We all have problems, and we all want to know that we’re not
alone.

Wednesday evening I posted a comment on a friend’s blog.  Or rather, I tried
to post a comment.

True to my tendencies, it was really far too wordy to be
called a comment.  I actually spent about half an hour wordsmithing a
multiple-paragraph response.

But when I hit the submit button to post it, Wordpress gave
me a generic error page.  Presumably something timed out while I was crafting
my reply.

And when I hit the Back button, my comment was gone. 

*&%$#@!

My mind raced.  What are my options here?

Maybe I should just re-type the whole thing?  It was only
300 words or so.

Nah.  The text I wrote was perfect.  I probably won’t be
able to remember it just the way it was.

And why should I have to?  Firefox and Wordpress screwed
this up, not me!
