How would you use rundll32.exe to run that function then?

I confess I didn't read the tag line either. There's a bit of a problem with the semantics of the statement too. I'd agree that you can't start an execution from a dll (from other comments, I'd be wrong about that too, but don't know how), but you definitely do run dll code.

Well.. technically, if it is the right kind of DLL, you can.. using rundll32.exe (which has been included in at least the last few versions of windows). It lets you execute any entry-point style (think WinMain signature) named code symbol.
I guess it was easier for M$ to write a few DLL's with many functions, rather than dozens (or hundreds/thousands) of individual linked EXE's, each for a specific purpose.

rundll32.exe, although there are no guarantees that it will work (depending on the DLL's entry points)

While browsing through Q&A this morning I came across this question:
FetalExecutionEngineError On OpenFileDialog.showDialog()
I'm guessing that the engine must be a little underdeveloped to get this type of error.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

and the bad news is you only land there if the fetal execution fails...

On a serious note, I did get this once, and eventually (after several weeks) I figured out it was caused by my installation of Visual Studio 2010. It appears an update caused corruption in some place in the framework. I really have VS2010, and am going to uninstall it soon.

Great catch. I ran into this one the other day in VS 2012.
Web deployment task failed. (Failed to create type 'Microsot.SqlServer.Dac.DacServices'.
An new company you think?

Just un-comment the lines of code and run the programm. If i=w works fine, you'll be thrown to Ximba (a region in South Africa). Beware of the mythical forces which could be applied.

We have too many extension methods spread across our project, I was organizing those methods with the rule of thumb 'as long as they reside in same namespace class name won't matter', by placing string, enumerable and other extension members to appropriate classes, to avoid members being duplicated. (Even I repeated things and thats why the organizing.. )
And then I've unearthed this gem.
public static class ExtensionMethods
{
public static bool Contains(this string source, string toCheck, StringComparison comp)
{
return source.IndexOf(toCheck, comp) >= 0;
}
…
I found two odd things with this implementation,
- first string already contains an overload "Contains(string toCheck, StringComparison comp)", I "honestly" don’t know if it makes any difference.
- second the usage this where the compiler failed, and used in many places the same way!
if (ExtensionMethods.Contains(item.Caption, "Some text here", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
...
...
}
I don’t know if the author learned the purpose of existence of extension methods! And need someone to fix things!
Edit : there is no such overload, it's the same extension on intellisence

Does it? Which version of .NET are you using?
The only overload listed on MSDN is string.Contains(string) .

Are you sure you're not getting confused by seeing the extension method in the intellisense list?

I get an email whenever there's an error on my webapps. We recently initiated a service to do Red-Siren testing; e.g., testing for any security issues.
Got an error message today.
Of most interest, and danged funny at that, is the unedited, verbatim "Error Message" from Microsoft's lovely .NET Framework ... (emphasis added)
URL: https : / / www.RedactedWebSite.com /SomeWebApp/ThatLoginPage.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fSomeWebApp%2fDefault.aspx%3faction%3dppr&action=ppr%3CScript%20%3Ealert(%22HelloSIG%22)%3C/Script%3E
Error Date: [redacted]
Error Message: A potentially dangerous Request.QueryString value was
detected from the client (action="ppr<Script >alert("Hell..."
Albeit a little late (going on 7+ years of .NET programming...), thanks for the warning Microsoft!
