I mean, if you use tools like NetLimiter, they let you know that a given process that connections to IP1, IP2, etc. I am using packet sniffing for my application, but I only need to packet sniff one application, so I'd like to know to what ip addresses that application is connected. Any easy way to do this? I am using a wrapper for WinPC...
One of the projects I am working on includes a website that is hosted on a cheap shared hosting server. Whenever I upload to the server some updated files, they don't necessarily become available immediately. It can take from 15 to 30 minutes before the server actually starts using the new files instead of the old ones and in some cas...
I would like to use the Entity Framework against a database with well over 50,000 tables. I only want to create entities on a small portion of these tables (less than 10). When I go to add tables using the wizard or server explorer, Visual Studio seems to not be able to handle that large amount of tables. It appears as if the tree vie...
What is the recommended approach to get the best performance when we need to create text files bigger than 10MB. There are multiple sections in the code that need to write stuff to a single file. This means a lot of text lines. Option #1: (This logic will be called at several times) Create a StreamWriter instance Write some lines (a...
Any idea how Buxfer (Buxfer.com) would have implemented their universal login system? Did they use Facebook Connect and Google Friend Connect? I'm trying to implement one for my site using .NET C#, but I couldn't find any .NET client libraries for Google Connect. But I was curious how Buxfer managed to let users sign in with not only F...
Hi all - I am writing an app to test RDP connectivity to a bank of VM Windows 2003 servers. The typical failure mode is for some code running on the server to get itself in a loop, preventing RDP connections -- and most any other type of connection, as well. When this happens, you can still ping the server and it seems to be fine, but...
I'm currently trying to design an application and I'm having trouble trying to decide on the architecture to use for it. This will be a .net application and essentially what this application will have is a server running some specific software that this application will interact with. On this server there needs to be a provisioning ser...

I have a list of threads, and I'm trying to get my main thread to wait for all of the threads in the list to terminate: while (consumers.Count > 0) consumers[0].Join(); The problem is, this isn't atomic, and I can get an "Index was out of range" exception. Is there any atomic way to check for the existence of consumers[0] and call co...

I am doing some work in Reporting Service 2005. I need to call a COM object so I wrapped the call in custom assembly. The approach worked in preview. But when I deployed the report I ran into #Error. Microsoft has a KB article about this: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=842419 It says that I have to assert permission in my custom as...
I'm trying to populate a dropdown list control. 'Inputs' is the DB. Table is 'ApplicationName', and it has a random value assigned to it. For some reason, when I click the Test Submit button, nothing is appearing in the control (DropDownList1). protected void TestSubmit_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Initialize the da...
This page in the MS documentation, covering asynchrony in Windows Forms applications, states: You can call EndInvoke to retrieve the return value from the delegate, if neccesary, but this is not required. (emphasis added) This page covering the general case of asynchronous delegates, states something different: No matter whic...
I am programmatically "reading" e-mails using WebDav. I am also deleting these e-mails when I've finished having my way with them, however, this is causing an interesting problem. Each time I delete an e-mail the original sender is getting a not read response. I have logged into OWA and checked the option Do not automatically send a r...
For some reason, this safe-looking method raises a classic exception. Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'statusLabel' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. This code obviously should call an anonymous method through Invoke when invoke is required. But the exception occurs every once in a whil...

Lets say I want to include a DLL in a Visual Studio project that is not going to be a reference. In my case it will be a custom trace listener, but it might also be a DLL that I am loading via runtime binding. I don't want to add it as a reference because I don't want to introduce the possibility of any of my code statically referencing ...

I am trying to access connectionstrings from the config file. The code is ASP.NET + C#. I have added System.Configuration to reference and also mentioned with using. But, still it wouldn't accept the assembly. I am using VSTS 2008. Any idea what could be the reason? Another weird thing is the assembly name shown as "System.configuration...
