diff

The question stems from database tables comparison. Let's say we put left row in the instance Left and the right one into instance Right of the same type. And we'got many tables and respective types. How to implement more or less generic routine resulting in a collection of diffs e.g.
propertyName , leftValue , rightValue for each such a pair of instances of the same type.

The dynamic Type in C# Simplifies COM Member Access from Visual FoxPro

I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with .NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into .NET code via COM Interop. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot… >>> More
Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

as seen on West-Wind - Search for 'West-Wind'
The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More

I'm trying to make use of the TheoryAttribute, introduced in NUnit 2.5.

.NET converting simple arrays to List Generics

This question might seem trivial and also stupid at the first glance, but it is much more than this. I have an array of any type T (T[]) and I want to convert it into a List generic (List<T>). Is there any other way apart from creating a Generic list, traversing the whole array and adding the… >>> More
Instantiating a list of parameterized types, making beter use of Generics and Linq

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I'm hashing a file with one or more hash algorithms. When I tried to parametrize which hash types I want, it got a lot messier than I was hoping. I think I'm missing a chance to make better use of generics or LINQ. I also don't like that I have to use a Type[] as the parameter instead of limiting… >>> More
