I couldn't find any explanation on "Field" in MSDN. Can anyone please
enlighten me on what a Field is and what it distinguishes from a property? I
need this definition to decide when to use Type.GetField() and
Type.GetProperty(), respectively.

I rewrote a component of us so that it is now a service. Unfortunateley the
service cannot start, because the third party product relies on expects to
be started from a special working folder. My service itself is placed in
this folder but when starting a service the working folder ...

I have specific Smart Client questions, but can't find a forum that fits?
Anyone know of one, or if Microsoft plans one?

Hi;
How can I build a dll so it runs under both .net 1.1 and .net 2.0 (without
requiring a config file)? The dll I have runs fine under both, so I want it
to just work using whatever the exe that calls it is using.

I have updated my Fusion workshop to .NET version 2.0 and I have added
two new sections on native images and unmanaged assemblies.
This is 60,000 words and is totally free. The workshop describes all the
features of Fusion and leads you through these features with examples

I've been trying to install .net 1.1 on a fresh Windows XP MCE machine all day.
the MCE version i downloaded from msdn 2 days ago (english) and everytime i
try to install .net framework 1.1 the installation stops/hangs/stall at the
following point:

I am facing some serious issues with an application written in c#. I noticed
(using Task Manager) that the number of GDI objects is increasing during the
use of the application which crashes. I don't know how to locate the problem
in the application and have several questions:

I want to know if there is an equivalent to memset but in .NET. I know there
is System.Buffer.SetByte, but it only works on arrays. I have a structure
and in some example codes I found, they initialize this structure to zero
with memset like this to make sure not garbage is taken ...

I've researched web services but have no luck finding anything but the most
basic tutorial. I want to have a service that runs certain checks at
specified intervals during the day. So after the service starts a timer will
be triggered to see if its time to run the checks.

I have a simple DLL that exposes a button and a label that is failing to run
under .NET 2.0. I'm using Apache as the WEB server. The final error is
"Microsoft.IE.SecureFactory: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load
file or assembly". Using Ethereal to watch the network ...

How might I serialize an IPAddress?
I read it needs to have a default constructor so I made a wrapper class:
   [Serializable]
   public class IPAddressEx : IPAddress

I'm using a file upload form field to allow a person to upload a file from
their browser.
I've noticed that I could type anything into the field: virus.exe and the
application will go ahead and write a file 'virus.exe' to the server.

I'm trying to install my Windows Service.
But i can't see it in my services list in MMC.
Installation has completed without error but i can't see my service.
Service is only for test. Have no code inside. only a "beep()" command in

I am the rookie in C#, I would like to know how can I get the current
directory/folder and how to retrieve the information of the reference file  
by C#.
Your answer will be very appreciate.

I want to test and (hopefully) start using SQL Server 2005 EXpress, and
I read that I need version 2.0 of the .NET framework. If I install this
version, will I still be able to develop and run all my existing apps,
built using VS 2003 under version 1.1 of the framework?
