Normally, when using the XMLSerializer to automagically serialize an ISerializable object, a .dll file is generated on C:\WINDOWS\Temp. If I implement IXMLSerializable instead, where I'm telling it how to serialize / deserialize, will it also generate this DLL?

I'm writing a server in C# which creates a (long, possibly even infinite) IEnumerable<Result> in response to a client request, and then streams those results back to the client. Can I set it up so that, if the client is reading slowly (or possibly not at all for a couple of seconds at a time), the server won't need a thread stalled wait...
