Compiler Warnings vs Code Analysis
public class Team{private IList<Athlete> athletes;...}Compiler Warning: Field Team.athletes is never assigned to, and will always have its default value null.( its assigned to in my mapper layer )public class Team{public Team(){athletes = null;}private IList<Athlete> athletes;...}Code Analysis Warning: Team.Team() initializes field entries of type System.Collections.Generic.IList<Athlete> to null. Remove this initialization as it will be done automatically by the runtime.What am I doing wrong here? Initializing athletes in the Team constructor to a new List<Athlete>() seems like a waste since its being set/initialized in my factory. -

USB Barcode Scanners
Mike Hall posted about how easy it is to use WEPOS and a USB barcode scanner. Which got me thinking about a project I have coming on the horizon. I will be looking for a decent handheld barcode scanner(s) (maybe wireless), anyone recommend a good hand held scanner to work with WEPOS? Or maybe integrates with .NET somehow? Plug and Play? I dont think I want a "wedge" type. -

ASP.NET DataProvider Singleton Vs. Static Vs. Instantiate When Needed
I have seen all versions used a hundred times. Which is the best way in a closed shop ASP.NET application using strictly SQL Server for data storage?Do you instantiate a singleton copy of the dataprovider for the entire application to use? Or just a bunch of static methods (yuch)? Or do you instantiate the dataprovider every time needed? Are there threading issues involved here? What about transactions?
