You could use reflection to look at the publisher of the assembly, and coordinate that with the assembly's path. If you find an assembly whose publisher is Microsoft, and which exists somewhere below c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework it's a safe bet it's part of the runtime.
Edit: On second though, the publisher ma... |
I put my unit tests in the same assembly as the code that it's testing. This makes sense to me, because I think of "test yourself" as a feature of a class, along with things like "initialize yourself" and "describe yourself".
I've heard some objections to this approach, but few of them have been convincing.

Terry, the answers all mention ways to prevent files from becoming unmovable during defragmentation. From your question it appears that you are in fact wanting to *make* your personal files unmovable. Can you please clarify what is appealing about making your files unmovable. |

Null primitives are just regular primitives wrapped in Nullable. Any appearances to the contrary are just the compiler and syntactical sugar. |
A `bool` is a value type, therefore it can't contain a NULL value. If you wrap any value type with `Nullable<>`, it will give it that ability. Moreover, access methods to the value change by additional properties `HasValue` and `Value`.
But to the question: `Nullable<bool>` and `bool?` are aliases. |
There is no difference between `bool? b = null` and `Nullable<bool> b = null`. The `?` is just C# compiler syntax sugar. |
C#: Is there any difference between bool? and Nullable<bool> ? |
|c#|nullable| |
In C# are the nullable primitive types (i.e. `bool?`) just aliases for their corresponding `Nullable<T>` type or is there a difference between the two? |
|c#|.net|nullable| |
To access the value of the bool? you need to do the following:
bool? myValue = true;
bool hasValue = false;
if (myValue.HasValue && myValue.Value)
{
hasValue = true;
}
Note you can't just do:
if (myValue)
{
hasValue = true;
}

@[aku](#61162)'s links show the proper solution. A simple alternative is to “go back in time” to the antics of C and C++: declaration before definition. Try the following:

Works like a charm. |
