• Visual Studio Team System FxCop Microsoft.Design and Generic outputs

  Working on a deserialization loader mechanism, I started out with a public method signature which looked like this: public static T Load<T>( string filename) FxCop suggests: CA1004 : Microsoft.Design : Consider a design where YamlLoader.Load(String):T doesn't require an explicit type parameter in any call to it. I what it's suggesting is that invoking this method with code like this may be hard to understand because of the part in the angle-brackets below. Foo temp = YamlLoader.Load<Foo>( "temp.yaml" ); The only alternate design that seems obvious to me would be: public static void Load<T>( string filename, out T output) with calls looking like this: Foo ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 Log files will not shrink

  Environment is Win2003 server (standard) with SQL Server 2005 (action pack version with SP1) installed.
