Hi, I've written a service for our customer that automatically transmits files to given destinations using FTP. For historic reasons I'm using WinInet to perform the FTPing. All works well, but now the customer wants to add one destination that only accepts SFTP connections. I do not really like the idea of implementing this from scrat...
I have a zoomable form-interface like MS Word. The form contains +70 controls (Richtextbox, checkbox, etc) that are positioned all over the form. The problem is that generating the form takes 2.5 seconds. Adding the 70 controls with panel.Controls.Add( ctrl) alone takes 1 second. (16 ms per call). Is there a way to cache the whole blan...

I would like to run the unit tests and find sql that has a high number of logical reads, Automatically.(to find sql in need of tuning) Adding "set statistics IO" to the sql is no...
I am writing a method that's intended to return a dictionary filled with configuration keys and values. The method that's building up this dictionary is doing so dynamically, so I need to return this set of keys and values as a collection (probably IDictionary<string, string>). In my various readings (sources escape me at the moment), th...

What I'd like to do is: Continuously record audio from (the default) Windows audio input device in 8-bits-per-sample PCM format For every N bytes captured, do some analysis on the raw audio (some RMS and/or SPL calc...
I believe these 2 lines are equivalent but after running into a strange issue I no longer believe this to be the case. String mimeType = context.Request.ContentType; (String.Compare("text/xml", mimeType, true) == 0)) is the same as : context.Request.ContentType.ToLower().Equals("text/xml") Are their implementations in the CLR any d...

Until the bug is fixed, I figured I'd just concatenate the parameter into the HQL. Obviously this is suscep...
