Is there a good, free telnet library available for C# (not ASP .NET)? I have found a few on google, but they all have one issue or another (don't support login/password, don't support a scripted mode). I am assuming that MS still has not included a telnet library as part of .NET v3.5 as I couldn't find it if it was. I would loooooove to...
I'm using this code from Microsoft to play audio notifications for my application. It's working fine when the user chooses a wav file, but it doesn't play when they choose a wma file. Is there any way I can support wma files? A lot of the built-in alarm and ringtones seem to be wma. ...
According to MSDN, it is not a particularly good idea to use classes within the System.Drawing namespace in a Windows Service or ASP.NET Service. Now I am developing a class library which might need to access this particular namespace (for measuring fonts) but it cannot be guaranteed that the host process is not a service. Now there is ...

This class has as attributes of type Validation Application Block Validation classes. I want to serialize it to xml and deserialize it. Verify that all...

I saw this reply from Jon on Initialize generic object with unknown type If you want a single collection to contain multiple unrelated types of values, however, you will have to use List<object> I'm not comparing ArrayList vs List<>, but ArrayList vs List<object>, as both will be exposing item of type "object". What would be ...
Is there a way to get the remote IP Address of a WCF connection? I guess the reason why it's not built-in into the WCF framework is that WCF can work with non TCP/IP bindings, so the IP Address is not always meaningful. However, the information would make sense for all the widely used bindings (As far as I know : BasicHttp, DualHttp, W...
I need to serialize/de-serialize some objects into/from string and transfer them as just opaque data. I can use XmlSerializer to do it, but generated string looks clumsy and long. So, is there any concise Serializer available in .NET? The first thing coming to my mind is that perhaps .NET should have JSON Serializer, but I cannot find i...

Now, the problem is, when User A types something in his screen, if User B tries to do something, User A will end up in losing the focus from his window, which is...
I've been investigating what data layer to use for a new web-based project I'm designing and I'm very keen to look at incorporating LINQ to SQL. Its apparent simplicity, flexibility and designer support really appeals and the implicit tie-in to SQL Server is fine. However, it has been announced recently that LINQ to SQL will be taking a...

Our application allows the user to change the Culture that they run it under and that culture can be different than the underlying OS Culture. The only way that I have found of doing this is by setting Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture for every thread. The only problem with this is that we mu...
