I've been playing with the new System.Diagnostics.Contracts class because it seemed very useful at first. Static methods to check inbound arguments, return values, etc. It was a clean interface and could replace lots of if-then statements and internally built library tools. However, it seems less than useful in most runtime situations. ...

I am running into a problem that if my program is running when the computer goes into the sleep and/or hibernate state (I am not sure at this time which one, or if both, cause the problem), when the machine wakes up again the program just hangs. The only way to exit out of it is...

My app needs some way to check the different users so I'll use hardware id, but I saw that I can use only: mac address - easily changeable and not everybody have it // NO processor id - using WMI it returns a value for the cpu model, it's not unique // NO motherboard serial - not every motherboard have it // ...

If I have a class with a couple of event handlers inside of it which are attached to an object that is defined within the class, am I right in thinking that I don't need to implement IDisposable to remove said handlers, even if I explicitly added the handlers myself? Also, can anyone point me in the direction of an article that explains...
Our business uses custom internal software to create shipping labels to be printed on large high-speed label printers.

Hello everybody ::- ). I got into a bit of issues today with the TcpListener. Things are strange. Initially, I used the new TcpListener(port) constructor, but that has been marked as obsolete. So I dropped it and used this instead: IPAddress ipAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry(Dns.GetHostName()).AddressList[0]; IPEndPoint ipLocalEndPoint...

I have control over the DLL's exported function, so I can create a wrapper around the C++ class if necessary. I know how to access the DLL with p/Invoke, so ...
I need to create a brain-dead HTTP server that returns 404s for everything on localhost. Specifically, I have a program under an acceptance test harness which calls out to a server, but for testing I want to save time by skipping that unrelated check. I have a way to pass in the URL the program uses as part of the test harness, and the ...
