How does one determine the amount of internally used buffer capacity for the System.Net.Sockets.Socket.AcceptAsync method?

Hi, The .NET method Socket.AcceptAsync() has a neat feature: The ability to specify an initial buffer that will receive some amount of data immediately after accepting the new connection. This could be useful for exchanging a fixed-length signature, protocol header, session ID or similar initiatory data (and in fact, that is what the MS...

MVVM for Web Development

I've been reading up on MVVM and so far have found it very interesting. Most of the examples I've found, however, are for Windows apps, as opposed to Web apps.
