I'd like to know how to implement the following restriction: One method in my Windows Service should not be called again before the earlier call has been finished.

I'm using WCF's netTcpBinding, which connects directly to an endpoint and doesn't seems to know anything about socks proxies. I need to use a proxy because most of my clients won't allow direct outbound connections, and enforce the use of socks proxies at all times. My first idea was to configure the .net framework to do that, so I ed...
I'm rewriting our NAnt build scripts to make them cleaner and simpler, as well as more general purpose. One of the steps in our build process is to package certain files into a zip file. Before we had created a fileset with lots of included file types, trying to catch everything that might be in the project. This occasionally caused...

Hi, in .net I have created an excel report which takes a datagrid's render output and puts it into the excel. The problem I am having is that the CSS classes that are used in the datagrid are not properly displayed because the CSS file is not loaded on the excel document. Can someone recommend a good way to go around this other than in...

In C#, is it possible to decorate an Enum type with an attribute or do something else to specify what the default value should be, without having the change the values? The numbers required might be set in stone for whatever reason, and it'd be handy to still have control over the default. enum Orientation { None = -1, North = 0...

I'm thinking of something like StringBuilder, but that also allows you to specify formatting as you append to it and also go back and edit previously appended segments, as well as doing string...

We constantly run into this problem...

Is there any workaround to this problem? PS: Is there any registry setting to set this path to a longer c...
I have a .NET application and need to load a native library whose location is specified by the user. PInvoke looks like it'll only load from the global search paths (or a path specified at compile time?). Would the best method be to create a C++/CLI assembly which calls LoadLibrary at runtime? Would C++/CLI be simpler than C# PInvokin...

However Visual Studio 2008 keeps reading my constructor class (which populates a DataTable with empty content and binds it to the DataGridView) and generates code for the columns in the InitializeComponent method - in the process setting AutoGenerateColumns to false...
I have a scenario where I have multiple threads adding to a queue and multiple threads reading from the same queue. If the queue reaches a specific size all threads that are filling the queue will be blocked on add until an item is removed from the queue.
