Lowest cost Windows VPS hosting?

For a while, I thought I'd host stuff at home because I can do whatever I want. However, hurricane Ike knocked out my power for a week, and I've finally realized this situation won't work.

New web service host 0.0.0.0?

Can anyone tell me why when I create a new web service in an asp.net project does it tell me that the host is 0.0.0.0?

JclDotNet, and some odd calling patterns using assembler

We have our own glue-layer-code-thingamajig that allows us to host the .NET runtime in our Win32 Delphi program. This has allowed us to do a gradual transition to .NET over time.
