Calling .NET Web Services Asynchronically from Java

I need to make asynchronous calls to .NET web services from java since synchronous calls are too slow.

How do you group your class members inside the class? When you add a new method to a class, do you add them to where it should be alphabetically for instance? Do you use regions?

.NET - First chance exception listener for intensive debugging?

This is probably unrealistic, but would it be possible to enable a component to be notified of all first chance exceptions occuring in its process? We have some third-party (contracted by us) components which fail to do anything but eat excepitions and the politics of the business relationship make the whole ordeal a royal pain. We als...
