Oh, one more thing. VeriSign does offer domain certificates. I don't know exactly how they work since it's been a long time since I've looked into what they offer, but it might be worth checking out. I don't know if the certificate contains special OIDs or something, or if you can just buy bulk certificates, but each server could, potentially, be able to use different keys based on the requested Host header. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Do the remoting components make use of any unmanaged resources / should or do you implement the IDispose interface?

how much is it leaking? "When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

We use System.Runtime.Marshal.Cantremembetthisbit.ReleaseComObject() which seems to clean up on the spot.

Hi, I know you probably solved your problem by now, with the account change (BTW, it shouldn't change the GC behavior), but I crossed this article on MSDN that may have some useful information to you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet05272003.asp?frame=true[^] My latest article: GBVB - Converting VB.NET code to C#

I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do, however, do you need to call Show? just instantiate the form, then do what you need.

Please find below my definitions. When stepping into some of these interfaces from C++ client the code either works, crashes or steps into the wrong functions. Any ideas?

Without pre-jit, assemblies are jitted on-the-fly in memory. solidstore wrote: My question is - can I tell programmically if I'm using the native images I've just created? This question sounds weird. You are always using native images, whether they are from the GAC, or from in-memory jitted images. What's more interesting to the issue is what is the relationship between an assembly in a private folder referrenced by a main assembly, with the same assembly stored in the GAC : in other words, which assembly is used ? The answer is it has a lot to do with versioning rules and strong names. My recommendation is to read Jeffrey Richter's "Applied .NET framework programming" book. It's all there.
