Hi all, An asynchronous question: I've been reading over the internet LOTS of articles for and against Delegate.EndInvoke() being optional. Most of those articles are 4-5 years old. Lots of dead links. Can anyone explain, in .NET 2.0 - is EndInvoke() indeed preventing an otherwise-inevitable memory leak, and if yes can you please spec...
Having a custom control deriving from ScrollableControl and using AutoScrollMinSize to set the inner display bigger than the viewport, the horizontal scrollbar shows as expected. However, sometimes I want the inner display smaller than the viewport but the horizontal scrollbar disappears. I know that's the expected behavior but what I w...
I build a repository class that use ISessionFactory.GetCurrentSession() to find the current session that its methods should work with and used CurrentSessionContext.Bind to bind a session within my application. Inside the NHibernate config I used thread_static as my current_session_context_class. This worked perfectly so far. On each th...

I have a Windows Service that hosts three different duplex WCF channels. Clients can connect to have updates sent to them via their callback contract. Essentially there are three pub-sub channels. This service takes a long time to bounce when clients are connected. The call to ServiceHost.Close takes 10 seconds to return (so the serv...
Up until yesterday, I had no idea iTextSharp included a full set of barcode classes. I discovered this through a chance answer to a question here on SO. Although I'd used iTextSharp in an earlier incarnation for generating some overlay text on a template PDF, I'd never fully explored the library, nor do I even recall Barcode support bein...
Say I have an application that reads a centralized ErrorLog called LogViewer it is mirrored in a few formats (winforms, silverlight, asp.net, asp.net mvc, etc) Project Names for the actual publish/deployment would be different for each one. Where would I best store the name LogViewer vs LogViewer WinForm (or LogViewer silverlight,etc) t...
(OK, I'll expose the depths of my ignorance here, please be gentle) Background I've got a method which looks (a bit) like this: public void AddLink(Enum enumVal) { string identifier = m_EnumInterpreter(enumVal); AddLink(identifier); } The EnumInterpreter is a Func<Enum, string> that is passed in when the parent class is cr...
Sure, there's a type of project in Visual Studio that outputs a DLL that people can use. I know that. I'm just wondering what are some of the standards that devs will expect when using my DLL file. I'll be providing a class that searches for movies in IMDB and returns results for a dev to consume. Not a webservice, but a local DLL file...

I have a process, let's call it Process A, that is hosting a simple WCF service exposed though a basic Http binding. If I spin up that process I can then access the service from another process, Process B, with no problems. However, my required use case isn't so simple. What I need to do is access the Service from a DLL that is hostin...
