Hello, I am writing some libraries of common reusable code for my company.
Originally, I thought I would break them into separate projects based on
some arbitrary categorization, but it occurs to me that namespaces might be
the only separation I need, and that I might get away with using a single,
albeit large, assembly. The advantage would be that my developers would only
have to reference one dll. Since the developers will not be using project
references to my libraries, it shouldn't swamp their solution, I wouldn't
think. Can anyone tell me whether there is a drawback to using a single,
large assembly? The only one I can think of is disk space, and I just don't
see that as being a real issue, even at deployment. Large for a DLL still
isn't that large to the file system.
I guess what I'm most wondering is whether there is something about the way
compiled assemblies are loaded (either in apps at runtime or in the IDE)
that makes one with 100 classes a bad idea?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

I proposed python as the main language for our next CAD/CAM
software because I think that it has all the potential needed
for it. I'm not sure yet if the decision will get through, but
something I'll need in this case is some experience-based set
of rules about how to use python in this context.
For example... is defining readonly attributes in classes
worth the hassle ? Does duck-typing scale well in complex

I have a large enterprise application. It involves 50 - 100 seperate .exes and several thousand class library assemblies. We want to group the .exes in their own directories with the .dlls they use. There are about 100 utility assemblies that are commonly used by multiple programs. We would like to keep these in a single directory and let all the other apps use them.
This does not appear to be possible. We can place them in the Global...

Hello all,
Over the years as I design more database schemas the more I come up with
patterns in database design. The more patterns I recognize the more I
want to try to design some kind of generic design patterns that can be
used and shared amongst many sub-schemas.
For example, the grouping of entities. I may have the following tables:
employee, product and client. These tables have no direct relationship
with each other. But...

I have a big Visual Studio class library project from which I create an
assembly. This assembly for example might contain 100 public entry points
(for example custom server controls) and a load of shared back-end library
code that they use.
I now have a need to create 2 new separate small assemblys from the same
code base, with one public entry point in each. For example I want to bundle
2 public server controls, each into their own...

In Borland's VCL it was possible to divide a component into design time and
run time DLLs. The design time DLL would only be necessary when the
programmer was setting a component's properties or events in the Object
Inspector, the equivalent to the VS .NET Windows form designer. The run-time
DLL would only contain the code necessary at run-time. The design time DLL
referenced the run-time DLL, but not vice-versa. This allowed the run-time...

Many (if not most) have said that code-behind is best if working in teams -

How do you deal with the flow of the work?
I have someone who is good at designing, but know nothing about ASP. He can

But then I would need to change them to ASP.net objects and write the code

I am migrating a VB6 webclass (IIS application) to a dotNet webforms

There are dozens of designers, class modules, and code modules in this
webclass project, which I will move into VB.NET or CS.NET classes to be

I am trying to decide whether to pack all the logic into a single

I'm designing my DAL layer(s) for our suite of applications and I'm

all of them with several different classes for providers/application

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
