Isn't the Roslyn compiler open source?
And maybe Honey can contribute

A bug in Microsoft's CodeDOM for the VB language forced me to change my code if I wanted to support VB.
Well, I feel like i need a shower, but the next rev will support VB code generation
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

If changing your code so it works with VB feels like you need a shower, just wait until you write actual VB code to test it out.
Bring out the peroxide and pressure washer.

Sometimes I accidentally leave my project in "Release" configuration, and I barely notice or don't notice at all.
The debugger attaches, breakpoints hit, and unlike C++ I have the entire stack frame and everything else at my fingertips, in C#, just like in debug mode.
There's very little actual code optimization done at this phase, or at least that used to be the case, and based on a little test @Super Lloyd (don't know how to tag here) ran some time back still seems to be. This is perhaps Microsoft's dirty little secret, they don't do much whole program optimization.
But mostly, the debugger works great because all the type information is there, even release, so you have the offsets of every member, and all the names.
It almost raises the question of why bother even having debug mode in .NET aside from conditional compiles (#define DEBUG) and metadata attributes related to it.
I think i may have hit a snag hitting a breakpoint in some scenarios but most of the time everything just works.
Not that I recommend this. I just find myself in release without noticing for awhile because of it.

With C#, I do both debug and release modes with full debug info.

honey the codewitch wrote: don't know how to tag here
It's pretty simple.
In many cases you can just use an "@", followed by the username: @OriginalGriff
And the system will replace it with the link, and send the email as it did with me.
But yours is harder: @honey the codewitch won't work, because that isn't what you started with, and it contains spaces. So I go to your homepage, and below your username is the correct code: @code-witch
For Super Lloyd, you do the same thing, and get @Super-Lloyd which is who you were trying to acknowledge.

Hi, Nagy, good to see you on here again. Has your supply of Gin run out? Are you going to ask for donations?

 That's owlful.

I'm not sure how you raptor head around that one.

I am looking to purchase a copy of Windows10 Pro on line.
I found a company selling it for $35.00. The company is MS Office Works. The price seems too good to be true.
Has anyone out there bought something from this company, or know anything about it.
If you have any experience with them, good or bad, please let me know.
TANSTAAFL!

Given that the MS price is £219 I'd suspect something dodgy is going on.

Given that it's not worth a buck-fifty, I'd say that $35 is a rip off.

I never paid more than 50€ for windows products. They are usually reselled unused licences from an enterprise licence pool. As an example, I am the IT guy from the local school in my spare time, which we can see as a little company (50 laptops, 1 server, 2 xerox, ...) and we buy MS Office licences for new computers in the school. The microsoft volume licensing scheme delivers in our case usually up to 5 more licences than the bought amount with each purchase, that you may or may not use - do not ask me why. I won't go into details but due to public money and regulations and bla bla we HAVE to buy new licenses and cannot use these free ones. I could easily resell the unused licence keys because I will never be able to use it, and that is precisely what companies like the one you mentioned do.
I do not think it is entirely fully legal, but I do not think it is written anywhere that is not, so ...
And there is also this.[^]

Long ago, and with a different version, I had some trouble with a MS Windows license. As it turned out, I had a product that was validly installed via an OEM key that had since expired. It was later disabled by MS because it was being used 'fraudulently' . Also, it could only be used on OEM versions and OEM versions could only use OEM keys.
In my case, I had a valid MSDN key to reactivate it but it was rejected. There were all sorts of unpleasant problems, but only after it went bad and I needed to reactivate it.
