• .NET Development (.Net 2.0) HttpListener and Keep-Alive (Http 1.1)

  Hey everybody. I'm playing around with the HttpListener class, which i think is absolutely cool, it just seems to have a few quirks. I want to service multiple requests over a persistent http connection, which the API seems to support (it' has KeepAlive property), but for some reason, it always closes the connection after each response, forcing the client to create a new connection for each request. Here is some sample code. HttpListener ...Show All

• SQL Server Converting @myString to @myInt

  Here's a fun one.  BOL says that using CONVERT or CAST to change a string into a number won't work.
