Yeah, it's a shame attributes can't have non-compile time values. I recently hit this problem[^] with MbUnit test framework for argument validation tests.
I've thought about this problem as well regarding argument validation in your real code (as opposed to just unit testing); seems it's pretty impossible to do currently, outside of boil-the-ocean schemes like aspect-oriented programming's method call interceptions. What we need is language extensions for specifying pre- and post-conditions, ala Eiffel[^]. Spec# does this by adding some new keywords to C#, such as ensures and requires. However, if you can't make the Spec# plunge, you can simply add special comments to your C# code, then run their static analysis tool on your C# code to make sure the contracts are enforced.
I'm looking forward to C# 4.  Then we should have some good support[^] for pre- and post- conditions, pure methods, immutable types, non-null types, and invariants, alleviating the need for things like validation in attribute strings. Hopefully they throw in some good multi-threading abstractions too.
I'm wondering if LINQ could do anything in the form of expression trees to help us out here with some kind of Linq To Validation[^].

Well, to turn a string containing C# code into IL, you obviously need a C# compiler. As the Microsoft C# compiler only compiles full assemblies, you cannot use it for light-weight code generation, especially if you want "this" to mean something else.
You could write your own C#-like compiler by using a C# parser like NRefactory[^], then converting from the parser's AST to CodeDOM (NRefactory contains a class that can do this conversion for a limited number of cases, it is used in SharpDevelop's form designer to load InitializeComponents() contents into a CodeDOM statement list), and letting CodeDOM compile it.

Thanks for the information. I'll take a look into this.

So, let me get this straight. You want to create an application using techniques that you know nothing about? Correct? Can you see where your chances of success are going?
Besides, I have no idea what you're talking about when you say "accept statements and variables".

I don't know what "accept statements" are.
Variables are placeholders for values.
int x = 42;
I've placed the value 42 into the variable x.

You can create a Forms based application using Visual Studio. In the designer you can drag and drop a menu strip onto the Form. This will give you a bare bones menu-driven application.
Hope this helps. Given your vague post, it's the best I can do.

Here in our product is in C#.I have to port it in Linux . Can you tell me how to port it to Linux/Unix

As with the post below, you need Mono[^]
|
|
|
|
|
Okay.. But MoNo is not working at industrial Level.This is not much string!!!!
|
|
|
|

If Mono isn't as mature as you need it to be then you might want to consider converting your code to a language that doesn't run on the .Net platform. C++ is probably the most universal Linux language, and is also probably one of the easier languages to port C# code to.

Hello,
I'm trying to get the regfree functionality working in VS2005, C# but am only
able to get it working with executables. However I need to implement this
within a webservice but this does not seem to work.
Within the webservice project I add a reference to a com dll
(simple test dll written in vb6) and set the isolated property to true.
When I then build the solution the Native.Webservice1.manifest file is generated
correctly.
But as soon as I deploy the webservice to IIS and try to run it I get an error
telling me the comm classid cannot be found. When the dll is registered this error
disappears. Apparently the manifest file is not used.
Somewhere I'm missing something, do I have to do something extra within my solution to
get this working or does it only work for executables and is the only solution back to
dll hell? in case of web projects?
Thanks in advance,
Markuseon

In the case of COM dlls they have to be registered. That is the difference between the exe and the dll. So what you have experienced is correct. .net is not going to auto register the dll for you and it expects it to be registered to use it.

Hello Ben,
Thanks for the reply, I think you are missing the point here.
VS2005 has a feature that automatically creates manifest
files for com dll's. This happens if you set the the isolated
property in the reference to true.
(see : http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/05/04/RegFreeCOM/[^]
If you use this in a solution that generates an executable this works like a charm,
you do not need to register the dlls anymore. However if you do this in a web project
or webservice this does not work anymore. The manifest files are created correctly but
I have the feeling it does not work because a webservice generates a dotnet dll and no exe.
This however seems strange to me, either I'm overseeing something or Microsoft has
simply not foreseen this and we still remain stuck with dll-hell. Strange in a world
that gets more and more filled with web projects and webservices.
Kind regards,
Markuseon

I would guess it may have to do with the IIS process not wanting to expose itself to the risk of an un managed dll. When it is an exe, it runs in its own process, but IIS is kind of a whole different beast.

I'm a newbie currently refreshing my learning on VS 2003.
Is the framework available on operating systems other than windows, say unix or solaris?

Mono is the other version of .NET, it's for *nix.

Yes

No
But Open source developers are trying to make the Technology OS independent
The Project is going on called MONO

I believe Mono does work on Solaris and various Linux distros. Check out their supported platforms[^] page.
