A windows forms client connect to an ASP.NET 2.0 web service.
A proxy class is generated by Visual Studio 2005.

I have found ways by checking the registry, but we have hundreds of
computers.  I have a powershell script that can verify the presence of
folders and files.  Is there one specific file or folder that .NET 2.0

On some computers running Windows XP, the ProtectData() method sometimes
throws the following CryptographicException:
 Type:    System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException
 Message: The system cannot find the file specified.

Are primitive types like bool threadsafe ? Or do we need to use
synchronization when multiple threads concurrently access a value type ?
Thanks,
Ramesh

We are having a lot of problems trying to print a PDF file in the background

How do I send a Socket Close Event in .NET Sockets?
Thanks,

I use Socket.Receive(Byte[]) to receive data in server from client over
TCP/IP. All byte values of 0xFF sent by client are showing up DUPLICATED in
server receive. In other words, if client sends [0xFF, 0x01], then server

How do you recognize a Socket Close event in .NET.  From what I have read on
the internet, it is done by checking if the byte count is zero in the
EndReceive() callback function in an Asynchronous type of connection.  What I
