• WPF custom Button using Geometry from resource

  - by theburningmonk

  Is there a way to use a collection of PathGeometry like these: Path 1 F1 M 170.255,178.837L 170.255,221.158C 170.255,228.917 164.174,230.777 156.745,225.286L 136.003,209.973C 128.572,204.488 128.572,195.512 136.003,190.023L 156.745,174.706C 164.174,169.217 170.255,171.079 170.255,178.837 Z Path 2 F1 M 152.29,174.464L 134.314,187.734C 129.978,190.937 127.589,195.29 127.589,199.994C 127.589,204.7 129.978,209.057 134.314,212.26L 152.29,225.531C 150.333,229.378 145.412,229.52 139.678,225.286L 118.935,209.973C 111.506,204.489 111.506,195.512 118.935,190.022L 139.678,174.708C 145.412,170.475 150.333,170.617 152.29,174.464 Z and use them to make a custom button in the same way you can make a circular button shown in this example? http://www.wpftutorial.net/Templates.html The example involves overriding the control template and it seems a lot of work if I want to have many custom-shaped buttons. And what if I want to load the geometry points from the resource?

• How to implement a memory transaction scope in C#?

  - by theburningmonk

  Hi, we have a cache which I would like to put some transaction scopes around so that any process have to explicitly 'commit' the changes it wants to do to the cached objects and make it possible to rollback any changes when the process fails halfway as well. Right now, we're deep cloning the cached objects on get requests, it works but it's not a clean solution and involves a fair bit of maintenance too. I remember hearing about some MTS (memory transaction scope) solution on .NetRocks a while back but can't remember the name of it! Does anyone know of a good MTS framework out there? Alternatively, if I was to implement my own, are there any good guidelines/patterns on how to do this? Thanks,

• Why can't I use interface with explicit operator?

  - by theburningmonk

  Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows the reason why you are not allowed to use interfaces with the implicit or explicit operators? E.g. this raises compile time error: public static explicit operator MyPlayer(IPlayer player) { ... } "user-defined conversions to or from an interface are not allowed" Thanks,

• How to find out the current overflow-checking context?

  - by theburningmonk

  Is there a way to do this in C#? So for example, if your method is called and you want to know if the caller had put the method call inside a checked block?

• How do I find the return type of a method with System.Reflection.MethodBase in C#?

  - by theburningmonk

  Hi, how do I find out the return type of a method from the MethodBase? I'm using PostSharp and trying to override the CompileTimeValidate(MethodBase method) method to make sure the attribute is applied to a method with the correct signature. Thanks,

• Why doesn't XmlSerializer support Dictionary?

  - by theburningmonk

  Just curious as to why Dictionary is not supported by XmlSerializer? You can get around it easily enough by using DataContractSerializer and writing the object to a XmlTextWriter, but what are the characteristics of a Dictionary that makes it difficult for a XmlSerializer to deal with considering it's really an array of KeyValuePairs. In fact, you can pass an IDictionary<TKey, TItem> to a method expecting an IEnumerable<KeyValuePairs<TKey, ITem>>.

• Does WCF use the ThreadPool to bring up new instances for a PerCall service?

  - by theburningmonk

  Hi, for a PerCall WCF service whose throttling has been set to be high (say, 200 max concurrent calls) would WCF bring up a new instance and invoke the request on a threadpool thread? If it does, then does this have an impact on the total number of concurrent calls allowed? I ask because I don't seem to ever hit the max number of concurrent calls I've set in the service throttling config but instead a fraction of that number - up to 50 on a 100 MaxConcurrentCalls setting and 160 on a 200 MaxConcurrentCalls setting. Thanks,

• Making sure unsigned int/long always execute in checked context in C#

  - by theburningmonk

  Has anyone found it strange that the default context for uint and ulong is unchecked rather than checked considering that they are meant to represent values that can never be negative? So if some code is trying to violate that constraint it seems to me the natural and preferred behaviour would be to throw an exception rather than returning the max value instead (which can easily leave important pieces of data in an invalid state and impossible to revert..). Is there an existing attribute which can be applied to either class/assembly so that it always performs arithmetic operations in a checked context? I was thinking of writing one myself (as an aspect using PostSharp) but would be great if there's one already. Many thanks,

• Find time zone from IP address in C#

  - by theburningmonk

  Is there a way to find the time zone a user is in when all I have is their IP address? I'm looking for the time offset I need to apply to the server time in order to find the time for the user's location. Thanks,

• Real world examples of Rx

  - by theburningmonk

  I've been playing around with the Reactive Extension for a little while now, but mostly limited to handling/composing user driven events within a WPF frontend. It's such a powerful, new way of doing async programming, and I'm curious as to what other people are doing with it, and where do you think it might be able to improve the way we're currently doing things?

• How to test if a thread is holding a lock on an object in C#?

  - by theburningmonk

  Hi, Is there a way to test if the current thread is holding a monitor lock on an object? I.e. an equivalent to the Thread.holdsLock in Java. Thanks,
