In a windows form I execute a lot of  HttpWebRequest. Each request run

2 connection are opened even if I have 100 threads.

I have a class that needs to be serialized to a byte buffer.  I'm using
a large, unwieldy, homegrown serialization method, which has to change
every time the class's members change, and I think there's probably a
better way.

Is this scenario possible?
One has a form, a thread and a control. The thread adds a control to the
form. The form adds handlers to every control added but because the control
is in a different thread the handler might cause an exception.

Hi NG!
I have a .NET project which uses a sublibrary written in C++.
On the .NET side I use the XMLSerializer to serialize an object (into
an MemoryStream). This stream would be casted into a byte-array and

I use VS2005 with framework 2.0 and I just found a behavior I consider odd.
Here is the code that illustrates th eproblem:
[Conditional("DEBUG")]

I know that this is not a good practice, but I wonder do we have "on error
