Help on IRC client

I’m working on an IRC client and looking for people to help… The client is currently functional, but missing a lot of GUI-stuff like channel bar, friends list and other neat functions. It’s written in C# with WPF GUI. All functionality is implemented through modules (.dll-files) and dynamically loaded after client has started. I’m looking … Read more

Optimizing virtual machines

At work we use a lot of virtual machines running in Virtual PC, VirtualBox and vmware, I’ll call them VPC.

Which in short leads to broken assemblies: [IL]: Error: [C:\…\Tedd.Fibres\Tedd.Fibres.Test.GUI\bin\Debug\Tedd.Fibres.TestModule_out.dll : Tedd.Fibres.TestModule.TestClass::Test][offset 0x00000028] Branch out of the method.
