More specifically I only need the time not the date. If at all possible I would prefer a .NET function instead of a SQL stored procedure. However an S...

Where/When do C# and the .NET Framework fail to be the right tool?

In my non-programming life, I always attempt to use the appropriate tool for the job, and I feel that I do the same in my programming life, but I find that I am choosing C# and .NET for almost everything.

I have a .NET 3.5 web app hosted on Windows Azure that exposes several WCF endpoints (both SOAP and REST).

Hence, I am willing to take advantage from HTTP GZip compression but not from the server viewpoint, but rather from t...
