• .NET Development System.IO.Compressio.DeflateStream clarifications please ...

  Since .NET Framework 2.0 is now final it's probably too late, but: 1. Why does the DeflateStream not offer the choice of compression levels (0..9 ) 2. Does anybody know what the compression level used actually is (*) 3. The 4GB limit seems to be bogus information - tests show that one can go beyond this border without problems. Maybe somebody mixed up the maximum file size in ZIP archives ! (*) the speed seems to be too fast :) If ran ...Show All

• .NET Development Using System.Net.Mail class to send mail.

  Hi, I was coding a class to send mail via SMTP, but I found that in Framework 2.0 you have System.Net.Mail to do that task. The classes works fine to send mail on a server that does not require authentication. Unfortunatelly, I can't get it to work on a base64 encrypted server. The process of logging in that type of server is easy, so I expect an bool attribute, let's say, "IsAuthRequired", but it does not exists. From what I've ...Show All
