So I have a WCF service that runs, and sometimes I want to call to the server asynchronously. Basically I follow the Begin/End outline to do the call. WCF takes care of a asynchronous call when I do this, which means I'm not struck with any 'timeouts' if the service takes a while, it just...

Ok, I'm not well versed in the System.IO namespace, and I don't know if there are class types elsewhere that may serve my purpose. But I need two special things... a MemoryStream or StreamWriter that treats the stream as a fixed line length. So that when a new line is written to it, the...

So I'm writing a WCF service right now and all is not well when dealing with a specific scenario pertaining to strings. Now the service I am writing syncs with a database that uses some strange characters to store multi dimensional data. Most notably Chr(255) Chr(254) Chr(253) these...

So say I define some interface, and that interface has members that need to be implemented under some idea, and I then implement this interface on a class that already has those members defined. How do I NOT receive errors about having to implement said members despite them already being...
