I lead a team of six developers, and over the last year we've migrated over to a Silverlight/WCF/C#/EF/SQL Server architecture for our development. We've now deployed 5 or 6 small apps using this architecture, and we are currently working on a larger system. We've developed our own little solutions framework which we use as a template f...
I have a custom HTTP server. When F5 is held down in a browser the server gets slammed with requests. How can I detect and limit these (or any other) invalid connections? It seems that I would have to record, for each incoming IP, the length of time between each request and whether or not the request was valid. If a certain number of...

Hi everyone, I need an Uri validation method. So, strings like: "http://www.google.com", "www.google.com", "google.com" ..must be validated as Uri's. And also normal strings like "google" must not be validated as Uri's. To do this checking, I use two methods: UriBuilder and Uri.TryCreate(). The problem with UriBuilder is that any s...

However, the action is not reentrant; so the same trigger being fired twice in rapid succession should only cause the action to run once. Using a simple bool fla...
Hi, Any ideas re why the WPF application I've starting building has a larger width and height than what I set in VS2010? That is, in VS2010 I set the height of the window to be AUTO (so it should be just high enough to contain the controls) and this seems to work visually within VS2010. But when I then run the application the window h...

When a user touches the screen, I would like the rotation to stop, and the user's control to take over the animation of the rotation. I tried to do this by pausing the animation, setting the angle property of the rotation locally, then resuming the rotati...

I have a ListBox with Foo objects, and based on some events I disable/enable the ListBoxItems in the ListBox. Using the ListBox.Items property I find Foo objects, and from what I've understood I need to use the following function to get the ListBoxItem container for the Foo. Correct? foreach (var item in Items) { var lbi = ItemCont...

I'm a beginner in the black art of ASP .NET development, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. After a bit of googling, and reading though (some of...) ASP .NET 3.5 Unleashed, I've yet to find a way of doing what I want - which usually either means I'm trying to do something stupid, or it's so obvious I've missed it :) I'm creati...
