The System.Web.UI.WebControls.TreeView class offers this event, but the Forms version of TreeView doesn't. What's the equivalent in the Forms world? I'm using AfterSelect but it doesn't seem quite right. Maybe it is in fact what I'm looking for but the documentation is a bit hazy. ...
After not having a whole bunch of luck finding any SNMP libraries for .NET that can act as SNMP agents (that can be used in an OSS project - meaning proprietary libs are out), I am now looking at implementing a simple SNMP agent class in C#. Can anyone provide any good examples or reference implementations of an SNMP agent (ideally nice...

I have the source to two Visual Studio solutions. One is a website that calls a WCF service, and the other solution is a WCF service that compiles into a DLL. The website has the WCF service's binary DLL as a reference. Here's the problem: when I run the website, an uncaught exception makes its way up from the WCF service. How do I run...

For example, I have a site which inherits all the handler mappings from the global handler mappings configuration. In applicationHost.config the <location> tag initially looks ...
I have a class that is expensive to construct, in terms of time and memory. I'd like to maintain a pool of these things and dispense them out on demand to multiple threads in the same process. Is there a general-purpose object pool that is already tested and proven? (I don't want COM+ pooling.) ...
I'd like to override HttpStyleUriParser, since I only want to modify it slightly. Microsoft also states (See MSDN) Microsoft strongly recommends that you use a parser shipped with the .NET Framework. Building your own parser increases the complexity of your application, and will not perform as well as the shipped parsers. However, ...

I just came across what seems like a weird design choice: System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\folder\file.ext") returns "C:\folder" but System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\") returns null. I could understand it better if the first example returned "folder". Any ideas why this is the case? And what do you do when you just want ...

While testing out a UDP multicast server that I've written on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I came across a most curious thing. Playing music with foobar2000 in the background significantly improved the server's transmission rate yet also incurred minor packet loss. Turning the music off immediately dropped the transmission rate to below accep...
