I am hosting a WCF service in IIS. Randomly lately I have been getting an error that takes down the service: The assembly it is looking for is located in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files folder. Im thinking an improper app pool shut down would cause this, but I am not sure. The server is a W...

I can't find a way to do this and I can't find an example of writing a custom log handler in C# (I'm not proficient in С...

I can easily test that basic authentication works by requiring a username/password to access a file in the .htaccess on an Apache server. But how can I test NTLM authentication, short of installing IIS? Are there by any chance an...

From what I understand, the minFreeThreads setting specifies the minimum number of worker threads available for callbacks, etc.... If I ha...
