• AlexWeatherall Why is System.Net not available in my add reference list?

  Subject pretty much says it all. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C# Express. I went to add a reference to System.Net and System.Net.Sockets, but they simply aren't there. I tried reinstalling/repairing the SDK, but to no avail. I can't find any reference to this problem by googling it. I'm completely confused as to why this namespace isn't present. All work is halted until this issue is solved, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jas ...Show All

• GeoffUnique Why can't I get to my Windows Form from my remote call? (Or why is .Net Remoting documentation such shite?)

  OK, I'll bite, how in the bloody bowels of Hades do you actually do anything useful with a .Net remote call I'm trying to make a client-server app to access a SQL database from a Windows Form client. I'm thinking this should be fairly straightforward - after all, the Client-Server-SQL setup is probably the most common distributed app out there so there should be some pretty good support for it. After some problems getting Remoting to work, ...Show All

• Paul Paschedag SslStream fails - switch to plain sockets...

  Hi, I have problems getting the following to run. I have client/server which communicate over SslStream.

  On one of the machines we tested, all calls to DateTime.Parse() throw an IndexOutOfRangeException, generated somewhere in mscorlib.dll. DateTime.Parse() is not documented as throwing an IndexOutOfRangeException, and the initial input was an ISO-style date/time from SQL Server 2005: "2006-10-05T12:24:00". All machines were set to the "English (United Kingdom)" culture. The failing machine mysteriously has no AM and PM desig ...Show All

• GR1206 Remoting-v-webservices - the prescriptive guidance is nuts ?

  Web-services excel for cross-platform/cross-language communication. However, what about communication for the internal tiers of an app, where it is .NET on both sides It's the endless debate of remoting-v-webservices. Remoting - faster performance and richer type system, versus the lower-performance, lowest common denominator of web-services. The message that I perceive from MS is "use web-services for everything - remoting is only for in- ...Show All
