I'm come from a self-taught ASP/Dreamweaver background and over the last
year have used VS.NET/ASP.NET/C# more and more to the point that it is my
primary development environment now. VS.NET is an amazing tool but I think
that my use of it is suboptimum.
I work on one "main" website but there are many logical divisons within that
website: one app does one thing, one thing does another. In VS.NET, Right
now I have everything lumped together in one huge project with
subdirectories as my only mechanism for dividing stuff up. Builds are very
slow, and I am less productive than I think I should be.
I was looking through Wrox's recent "MVP Hacks" book and it seemed to point
me in the way of a much smarter way to work: dividing my solution into
projects.
I want to understand whether this would work for me, what's involved in
making it happen, and whether this would speed up my builds.
Some chief concerns include:
1) I use the EntitySpaces ORM framework and a collection of classes it built
for me. I want all of my projects to use that same code.
2) I am developing a common collection of user controls and I want to be
able to use them across projects.
3) I have a bunch of nifty controls as binaries in my bin folder and I want
those shared as well.
If items 1, 2, and 3 can be managed, I am wondering how I should go about
chopping up my existing mess into something less messy. If I understand the
project metaphor correctly, it needn't move files outside of where I have
them now -- the projects just group things sensible and "point" to the
constituent files.
Thanks for any practical experience and advice you can offer. I feel like I
should really know this myself, but not having come originally from a
developer background, not everything here is intuitive. I don't want to
trash my slow-but-functional setup in the process of learning how all of
this works.

Playing with Prothon today, I am fascinated by the idea of eliminating
classes in Python. I'm trying to figure out what fundamental benefit
there is to having classes. Is all this complexity unecessary?
Here is an example of a Python class with all three types of methods
(instance, static, and class methods).

Hi,
I have common classes/packages to share by different sets of projects. Some
share by project A and B, some by project A and C.
What is the best practice to handle shared classes? Should I take each set
of common classes out and compile them to individual dlls, e.g. ab.dll.
ac.dll, together with A.exe, B.exe, C.exe?
That way I ends up lots of dlls(projects) and kind of annoying.

I'm still trying to sort out in my head the differences between public and
shared when referring to declaring properties or variables. This is my
understanding:
shared - akin to a 'global' variable for the application. Any other code
within the application can access it.
public - can be shared across the application if instatiated.
Does that sound about right? It seems these are more useful for methods
rather than variables. Most of...

Hi
This must be an often encountered problem. I want to declare an abstract

solution would be (i.e. I don't want to have to create instances of the

Hi,
I'm having a reflection brain fog here, perhaps someone can set me on the right

I'd like to define a custom attribute to be used in a class hierarchy.
What I want to do is to have an attribute which can be applied to a class definition

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
