I've got a performance critical binary decision tree, and I'd like to focus this question on a single line of code. The code for the binary tree iterator is below with the results from running performance analysis against it. public ScTreeNode GetNodeForState(int rootIndex, float[] inputs) { 0.2% ScTreeNode node = RootNodes[rootIndex].TreeNode; 24.6% while (node.BranchData != null) { 0.2% BranchNodeData b = node.BranchData; 0.5% node = b.Child2; 12.8% if (inputs[b.SplitInputIndex] <= b.SplitValue) 0.8% node = b.Child1; } 0.4% return node; } BranchData is a field, not a property. I did this to

{"Could not load file or assembly 'AssemblyName, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)":"AssemblyName, PublicKeyToken=null"} I'm getting the message in question as an InnerException.Message while trying to debug my application after signing the unsigned third-party assemblies it is using. The weird thing is that I have already signed the assembly shown in the message, the one that can't be loaded. What could the problem be here? How can I resolve this? EDIT Editing

I was trawling through some of the IL of one of my assemblies (via ILDasm) and I noticed that all of my methods begin with a nop instruction. Does anyone know why that is? The assembly was compiled in debug mode. Nop instructions do not do anything (i.e have no side effects), but act as a convenient instruction to place a breakpoint. Tip If you need a place for an additional breakpoint for debugging purposes, you can force the inclusion of a Nop in a Debug build by adding a pair of empty braces, e.g. _grid.PreviewMouseRightButtonDown += (sender, e) => { _isRightMouseDown = true; RowColumnIndex

I think I've known the answer for a class, just want to confirm my understanding is correct. Let's say I have a ClassA and its instance named a . When a.MethodA() is invoked: (1) CLR find the type of ClassA by the type pointer of a in the heap(the type have been loaded into the heap) (2) Find the MethodA in the type, if not found, go to its base type, until the object class. Maybe my understanding is not quite precise, but I think it's basicly correct(Correct me if it's wrong!). And here comes the question of a simple struct . struct MyStruct { public void MethodA() { } } I have var x = new

I need a performance enhanced Activator.CreateInstance() and came across this article by Miron Abramson that uses a factory to create the instance in IL and then cache it. (I've included code below from Miron Abramson's site in case it somehow disappears). I'm new to IL Emit code and anything beyond Activator.CreateInstance() for instantiating a class and any help would be much appreciative. My problem is that I need to create an instance of an object that takes a ctor with a parameter. I see there is a way to pass in the Type of the parameter, but is there a way to pass in the value of the

Sometimes I would like to quickly see the IL representation of my code snippets in C#, to understand what exactly happens to various code statements under the hood, like it's done here for example . I know there are ildasm , Reflector , ILSpy , dotPeek and probably quite some other tools available. What I'm wondering here is that if there is any more elegant way from writing some lines of code to seeing the corresponding IL, than compiling your .net code, loading the assembly into one of those programs and finding the code you are curious about. Maybe having a plugin for visual studio, which
