That is, I'd like to do something like this: Configuration testConfig = new Configura...

Could somebody please do a rundown of how to programmatically encrypt a config-file in .NET, preferably in C#. What I would like to do is do some kind of check on an application's startup to see if a section is unprotected, and if it is, then encrypt it. This for both settings and connection-strings. Also if anyone could list the types...

This looks like it would lose the transparency capability and Blend support. Never tried it though. Anyone has a solution for this? Any drawbacks from it? Thank you ...

As far as I know, there is no support for discovery in remoting. I am prepared to implement a UDP solution where the clients will be able to find the ser...
I've got a problem similar to,but subtly different from, that described here (Loading assemblies and their dependencies). I have a C++ DLL for 3D rendering that is what we sell to customers. For .NET users we will have a CLR wrapper around it. The C++ DLL can be built in both 32 and 64bit versions, but I think this means we need to have...
See also How does a WCF server inform a WCF client about changes? (Better solution then simple polling, e.g. Coment or long polling) I need to use push-technology with WCF through client firewalls.
