We're having an issue. We have the majority of our code written in .net 1.1 (including asp.net). We're told that Microsoft do not support .net 1.1 on Windows Server 2008. The bit we're really confused on is that it's apparently it's only Asp.Net 1.1 that isn't supported on Server 2008. Our question is, what signifies Asp.net 1.1 is i...
I have been writing a GUI application for rsync on Windows and I have been deploying it to servers. I have a problem because I use the .NET framework, and server does not have it installed, and the 3.5 framework requires the server to be rebooted after installation. This is not acceptable.

When the form is resized, the ListBox has an ugly flicker. I tried inheriting CheckedListBox and setting DoubleBuffered to true in the ctor (this technique works with ...
I am trying to use Cassini (from http://www.asp.net/Downloads/archived/cassini/) to host my old style asp.net web service in-process, ideally in a WCF style. However, when I run it, I get an exception that the Cassini.dll could not be found. The Readme.txt that comes with it says to add it to the GAC, but the whole point of using an inpr...

This seems a bit excessive to me. This raises two important questions. Am I correct that this excessive? Routes I can take to ...
This question has been puzzling me for a long time now. I come from a heavy and long C++ background, and since I started programming in C# and dealing with garbage collection I always had the feeling that such 'magic' would come at a cost.
