In some of the work I’m doing right now, I’m manipulating an assembly after compile time – having it disassembled into IL, tweaked, then re-compiled back into an assembly.

If you have several applications that are using NLog, it can be a good idea to install NLog into the GAC and reference that.

<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name=”nlog” type=”NLog.Config.ConfigSectionHandler, NLog”/>

iTunes without the bloat, and the invasive Quicktime installer + annoying Bonjour service.
Install Quicktime Alternative, then the iTunes installer from Ajua Online.
That’s currently 17.8MB for the iTunes installer, and 10.8MB for Quicktime Alt. As opposed to the 80MB of bossy Apple . . . → Read More: iTunes Lite
