.net-3.0

I've got a simple client-server application based on TcpClient/TcpListener and SslStream. Clients can authenticate themselves to the server using a X509Certificate or by sending a user name and password after the SslStream has been established. WCF makes use of the System.IdentityModel namespace for authentication purposes, but apparently that can be used in arbitrary applications--which sounds interesting. Information on how to do this is sparse though (or my Google foo is weak today). So, my question is: What do I need to do to integrate System.IdentityModel with my application? I'm not sure

I am looking for a few books, blogs or articles on WWF. I've read the books below; however, I need resources that cover the topic in more depth. I am especially interested in local services, persistence, tracking and viewing Workflows from a website. Any suggestions?? Pro WF: Windows Workflow in .NET 3.0 Essential Windows Workflow Foundation IMHO, the best books are Essential Windows Workflow Foundation and Programming Windows Workflow Foundation: Practical WF Techniques and Examples using XAML and C# . Blogs that I read: Keith Pijanowski's Blog Kirk Allen Evans's Blog Matt Winkler Matt's

I have an application that I was writing that communicates with a third-party application via a Component Object Model library. I must reference this COM library within the Visual Studio project itself in order for the application I am writing to work. There is also a .NET wrapper library that I must reference in the Visual Studio project in order to communicate with the COM library. Is there a way to to create a conditional initialization of a class, in order to use a method within a .NET class within the .NET wrapper library, that will work in a later version of the third-party COM library

There is a requirement in my project that I need to unzip some zip folder. I googled and came to know without using external libraries I can not achieve this or with GzipStream class we can decompress .gz files. Is there any way we can decompress without using any external libraries? PS: I need to use only script task component for this and .Net framework is 3.0. Thanks in advance. A) Declare a variable FileName as string datatype B) Use ForEach loop to loop through the files in the folder and map file names to FileName variable C) Use Execute Process task to zip/unzip to individual files D)

Does anyone know of a way to disable the mouse scroll wheel when a control such as a combobox or listbox has focus? For my purposes, combobox is all I need the answer for. I have a combobox set to trigger a SQL query on SelectedIndexChanged, and accidentally scrolling the wheel while the combobox has focus causes about six SQL queries to fire off simultaneously. The ComboBox control doesn't let you easily override behavior of the MouseWheel event. Add a new class to your project and paste the code shown below. Compile. Drop the new control from the top of the toolbox onto your form. Friend

I need to create a transparent blurred background. Lets suppose I have a border with a white blurry transparent background. Everything that is behind the border is blurred. I'm trying to avoid dependencies; I'm currently using .NET 3.0, and want it to run with XP too. Mockup image: A VisualBrush can be used to get close to what you want, but has some limitations. As long as you only need the glass effect within the window (and not be an effect over other windows) and that the placement of the glass effect border is controlled tightly then you could you something like this:- <Grid> <Border x
