object. As part of the deserialization process, via a callback during
deserialization, the class needs to call various methods on the
NameValueCollection. This is currently failing due to the internal

I am receiving XML (not a full document, just a node tree) from a remote
party and then inserting it into my bigger XML document using
XmlWriter.WriteRaw().  The problem is that sometimes the XML from the remote

I tend to build high performance system, and when doing this stateless
programming is at a premium. This often means all of the public methods on a

A managed NullReferenceException occurred at Application ::Run+Oxf
Application::Run+Oxf
delcollectForm::Main+Oxa

The .NET architecture guide says that "Exceptions need to be serializble in
order to flow upstream accross tiers". Why? Cant we simply throw excpetions
to the calling code even if it is in a diffent component in a differnt layer
in a differnt machine on the newtork? I think it is ...

I am new to threading/callbacks etc and am having some trouble that I hope
someone can help me with.
The below class seems to work ok until I handle the CallbackEvent and try to
update a control in the main form. I get:

When an asp.net exception occurs, an event is logged.  The event that is
