What I have done is however to write a simple class libray to call git commands by running child process.

First, create a ProcessStartInfo for some configuration.  

    ProcessStartInfo gitInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    gitInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    gitInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
    gitInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    gitInfo.FileName = YOUR_GIT_INSTALLED_DIRECTORY + @&quot;\bin\git.exe&quot;;

Then create a Process to actually run the command.

    Process gitProcess = new Process();
    gitInfo.Arguments = YOUR_GIT_COMMAND; // such as &quot;fetch orign&quot;
    gitInfo.WorkingDirectory = YOUR_GIT_REPOSITORY_PATH;

    gitProcess.StartInfo = gitInfo;
    gitProcess.Start();

    string stderr_str = gitProcess.StandardError.ReadToEnd();  // pick up STDERR
    string stdout_str = gitProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd(); // pick up STDOUT

    gitProcess.WaitForExit();
    gitProcess.Close();

It is then up to you to call whatever command now.

As James Manning mentioned in a comment in the currently accepted answer, the library [libgit2sharp](https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/) is an actively supported project providing a .NET API for Git.

I just found this: http://www.eqqon.com/index.php/GitSharp
&gt; 
**GitSharp** is an implementation of [**Git**](http://git-scm.com/) for the Dot.Net Framework and Mono. It is aimed to be fully compatible to the original Git and shall be a light weight library for cool applications that are based on Git as their object database or are reading or manipulating repositories in some way...

I want to vertically align the text in select box. I tried using 

    select{
       verticle-align:middle;
    }

however it does not work in any browsers. Chrome seems to align the text in select box to the center as a default. FF aligns it to the top and IE aligns it to the bottom. Is there any way to achieve this? I am using GWT&#39;s Select widget in UIBinder.

This is currently what I have:

    select{
    	height: 28px !important;
    	border: 1px solid #ABADB3;
    	margin: 0;
    	padding: 0;
        vertical-align: middle;
    }

Thanks!

Is there a way to use `Debug.WriteLine` in a release build without defining `DEBUG`?

How can I *pull* (maybe *push* too) some folder from GitHub?

I mean I need API for .NET to access within C#, not GUI for git.

I&#39;ve got a short piece of code that originally created an **SqlDataAdapter** object over and over.

Trying to streamline my calls a little bit, I replaced the **SqlDataAdapter** with an **SqlCommand** and moved the **SqlConnection** outside of the loop.

Now, whenever I try to edit rows of data returned to my **DataTable**, I get a **ReadOnlyException** thrown that was not thrown before.

NOTE: I have a custom function that retrieves the employee&#39;s full name based on their ID. For simplicity here, I used &quot;John Doe&quot; in my example code below to demonstrate my point.

*ExampleQueryOld* works with the **SqlDataAdapter**; *ExampleQueryNew* fails with the **ReadOnlyException** whenever I try to write to an element of the **DataRow**:

 - *ExampleQueryOld*

This works and has no issues:

    public static DataTable ExampleQueryOld(string targetItem, string[] sqlQueryStrings) {
      DataTable bigTable = new DataTable();
      for (int i = 0; i &lt; sqlQueryStrings.Length; i++) {
        string sqlText = sqlQueryStrings[i];
        DataTable data = new DataTable(targetItem);
        using (SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(sqlText, Global.Data.Connection)) {
          try {
            da.Fill(data);
          } catch (Exception err) {
            Global.LogError(_CODEFILE, err);
          }
        }
        int rowCount = data.Rows.Count;
        if (0 &lt; rowCount) {
          int index = data.Columns.IndexOf(GSTR.Employee);
          for (int j = 0; j &lt; rowCount; j++) {
            DataRow row = data.Rows[j];
            row[index] = &quot;John Doe&quot;; // This Version Works
          }
          bigTable.Merge(data);
        }
      }
      return bigTable;
    }

 - *ExampleQueryNew*

This example throws the ReadOnlyException:

    public static DataTable ExampleQueryNew(string targetItem, string[] sqlQueryStrings) {
      DataTable bigTable = new DataTable();
      using (SqlConnection conn = Global.Data.Connection) {
        for (int i = 0; i &lt; sqlQueryStrings.Length; i++) {
          string sqlText = sqlQueryStrings[i];
          using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlText, conn)) {
            DataTable data = new DataTable(targetItem);
            try {
              if (cmd.Connection.State == ConnectionState.Closed) {
                cmd.Connection.Open();
              }
              using (SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader()) {
                data.Load(reader);
              }
            } catch (Exception err) {
              Global.LogError(_CODEFILE, err);
            } finally {
              if ((cmd.Connection.State &amp; ConnectionState.Open) != 0) {
                cmd.Connection.Close();
              }
            }
            int rowCount = data.Rows.Count;
            if (0 &lt; rowCount) {
              int index = data.Columns.IndexOf(GSTR.Employee);
              for (int j = 0; j &lt; rowCount; j++) {
                DataRow row = data.Rows[j];
                try {
                  // ReadOnlyException thrown below: &quot;Column &#39;index&#39;  is read only.&quot;
                  row[index] = &quot;John Doe&quot;;
                } catch (ReadOnlyException roErr) {
                  Console.WriteLine(roErr.Message);
                }
              }
              bigTable.Merge(data);
            }
          }
        }
      }
      return bigTable;
    }

Why can I write to the **DataRow** element in one case, but not in the other?

Is it because the **SqlConnection** is still open or is the **SqlDataAdapter** doing something behind the scene?

ReadOnlyException DataTable DataRow &quot;Column X is read only.&quot;

How does the [`ILookup&lt;key, value&gt;`][1] interface differ from [`IDictionary&lt;key, value&gt;`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s4ys34ea.aspx)?

I don&#39;t understand what the [`ILookup`][1] interface is meant for.

I am using Entity framework 4.1 in MVC 3 application. I have an entity where I have primary key consists of two columns ( composite key). And this is being used in another entity as foreign key. How to create the relationship ? In normal scnerios we use :

    public class Category
    {
        public string CategoryId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
    
        public virtual ICollection&lt;Product&gt; Products { get; set; }
    }
    
    public class Product
    {
        public int ProductId { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string CategoryId { get; set; }
    
        public virtual Category Category { get; set; }
    } 

but what if category has two columns key ?

After reading this blog entry : [http://wekeroad.com/post/4069048840/when-should-a-method-be-a-property][1],

I&#39;m wondering why Microsoft choose in C# :

    DateTime aDt = DateTime.Now;

instead of

    DateTime aDt = DateTime.Now();

- Best practices say : Use a method when calling the member twice in succession produces different results
- And &lt;code&gt;DateTime.Now&lt;/code&gt; is perfect example of non-determistic method/property.

Do you know if there any reason for that design ?&lt;br/&gt;
Or if it&#39;s just a small mistake ?

Why is DateTime.Now a property and not a method?

I&#39;ve seen countless posts on how variable capture pulls in variables for the creation of the closure, however they all seem to stop short of specific details and call the whole thing &quot;compiler magic&quot;.

I&#39;m looking for a clear-cut explanation of:

 1. How local variables are *actually* captured. 
 2. The difference (if any) between capturing value types vs. reference types.
 3. And whether there is any boxing occurring with respect to value types. 

My preference would be for an answer in terms of values and pointers (closer to the heart of what happens internally), though I will accept a clear answer involving values and references as well.

Detailed Explanation of Variable Capture in Closures

I see two means of working with session data in ASP.NET MVC:

* `System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState`, available on `HttpApplication`
* `System.Web.HttpSessionStateBase`, available on `Controller`

Data stored in one seems to be available in the other.

Unfortunately the only common ancestor of these two types is `System.Object`, meaning that I can&#39;t create reusable utility code for the abstraction of either.

Why is the API this way?  Is there an important difference between the two that I am missing?

Why are there two incompatible session state types in ASP.NET?

To move the branch pointer of a checked out branch, one can use the `git reset --hard` command. But how to move the branch pointer of a not-checked out branch to point at a different commit (keeping all other stuff like tracked remote branch)?

I was just knocking around in my global `.gitconfig` file and I noticed that I&#39;ve managed to end up with this:

    [branch]
      autosetupmerge = always
      autosetuprebase = always

That seemed more than a little counterintuitive, but after doing some reading, I still have no idea whether I need both or whether it&#39;s sufficient to remove `autosetupmerge` and just retain `autosetuprebase`. Most projects that I&#39;m working have a straight downstream-&gt;upstream flow, so rebasing is generally preferred when dealing with branches.

autosetuprebase vs autosetupmerge

How can I stash a specific file leaving the others currently modified out of the stash I am about to save?

For example, if git status gives me this:

    younker % gst      
    # On branch master
    # Your branch is ahead of &#39;origin/master&#39; by 1 commit.
    #
    # Changes not staged for commit:
    #   (use &quot;git add &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to update what will be committed)
    #   (use &quot;git checkout -- &lt;file&gt;...&quot; to discard changes in working directory)
    #
    #	modified:   app/controllers/cart_controller.php
    #	modified:   app/views/cart/welcome.thtml
    #
    no changes added to commit (use &quot;git add&quot; and/or &quot;git commit -a&quot;)

and I only want to stash app/views/cart/welcome.thtml, how would I do that? Something like (but of course this does not work):

    git stash save welcome_cart app/views/cart/welcome.thtml
