(Note the word “sequence” … Read more
In .net 4.0 Microsoft removed the ability to add DLLs to the Assembly simply by dragging and dropping. Instead you need to use gacutil.exe, or create an installer to do it. Microsoft actually doesn’t recommend using gacutil, but I went that route anyway. To use gacutil on a development machine go to: Start -> programs … Read more

There’s also an implementation of the TextTransform.exe command-line tool available as a dotnet global tool, and some APIs in … Read more

The key decision is whether or not to make the WCF service conform to the socket client or whether to make the socket client conform to the WCF service. It will be simplest to attempt to conform to the WCF service, rather than trying to implement something custom within WCF, which is never easy. At … Read more
I don’t know a built-in way to set it from App.config, but you could just define a key in your App.config like this <configuration> <appSettings> <add key=”DefaultCulture” value=”pt-BR” /> </appSettings> </configuration> and in your application read that value and set the culture CultureInfo culture = new CultureInfo(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[“DefaultCulture”]); Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = culture; Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = culture; Also, as … Read more
