Hi, I use HttpWebRequest to send http requests. I use http version 1.0. The problem is that for each http 1.0 request the framework automatically adds the "Host" header. This header is a must for http 1.1 but NOT for http 1.0 (rfc 1945)! I need to send a http 1.0 request without this header. I...more >>

Hi; When I create a Bitmap object with a file, I then look at the RawFormat GUID to see what bitmap format the file was in. This works great for all of the bitmap formats (gif, jpg, etc). But when it is an emf file, it does not have the Wmg.GUID but instead the MemoryBmp.GUID. Why does i...more >>

Hi; I asked: 3) The rendered image has a black background. The metafile draws text, a box, and a line. But the metafile does not first fill the canvas with white. So the background starts off "empty." Question: 3) How do I have it start off with a background/fill of white instead of blac...more >>

Hi; I asked: 4) And for bitmap formats that include alpha, how do I start with an empty bitmap (ie nothing there, its all 100% transparent)? You said: 4) As I said before if we want to create bitmap, we are draw onto the bitmap. So what do you mean transparent? Do you mean all the follo...more >>
