Nice article on CodeProject on generating fractal snow...and a nice screensaver (which now works on multiple monitors) by Thomas Petricek who has also written a couple of other pretty nice articles and he's only in High School - makes you feel old doesn't it!

One of the most common problems with using CDOSYS (which is the underlying class used by System.Web.Mail) is the lack of authentication for sending mail via SMTP, Darren Jefford posted a method to do this, I've reproduced it below since it's currently hosted…
I'm getting increasingly involved in the world of Asynchrony and have been doing a bit of digging about into some of the pitfalls of multi-threading. I came across an interesting one today involving the use of BeginInvoke without a corresponding EndInvoke when…

Further to my earlier bit on Threading, this site has some brilliant (fairly advanced) examples on various things...including a custom Thread Pool
I have recently been having a look at threading in ASP.NET, found this excellent article from June 2003 which is a pretty good introduction to the whole thorny issue. Also found a useful example from the 'always worth a look' C# Corner...here
Have a read at this article on implementing the SIngleton pattern in C#. No idea what I'm on about? Well, the Singleton Pattern isn't a knitting method for the lonely, it's one of the most important techniques for ensuring that two people - on the web its'…
I wrote on Brian Desmond's blog about how good a C# (open source of course!) statistics system would be...this got me thinking - it wouldn't be that hard to write one based on an HttpHandler. I don't really want to log accesses to graphics etc...and if I did,…
