A stupid bug in IE, that killed our 10 hours.

A stupid bug in IE that killed our 10hours. I told our, that is 5 developers each 2 hours we spent to resolve a issue.

A stylesheet class, because of which IE 8, was automatically redirecting to compatibility mode.

The class is


#BKWords { margin-top: 8px; max-height: 75px; overflow:scroll; }

Above css will not work in IE 8 and will redirect/reload to compatibility mode.

This is an issue in IE8. If you give the style as max-height and overflow scroll, IE8 will redirect automatically to compatibility view. For this we have to give overflow as auto.

What happens when user click .NET assembly (EXE)?

When you double click on a .net .exe assembly

Windows' PE (Portable Executable) loader kicks in

If you're on a Windows >= Windows XP it will detect that the executable is a managed executable and will forward it to .net by calling _CoreExeMain in mscoree.dll (_CoreDllMain if you double clicked on a managed .dll). It can use the assembly configuration file to know which runtime to use.

If you're on Windows < Windows XP, the .exe file contains a small native piece of code that will jump to mscoree.dll's _CoreExeMain or _CoreDllMain.

Then mscoree.dll initializes the .net runtime, depending on the global configuration, the assembly configuration file, and what not.

Then if it's a .exe, it will JIT compile its entry point method, and start executing it.
