  If your topic pertains primarily to one of these technology areas, we can assist you better when you post to a more specific forum.
  
  Please post all System.Net or System.Uri topics to the Network Class Library (NCL) forum:

  Forum Tips and Valid Topics

  Is this the right forum?
  
  This forum is a general purpose networking and communication forum. If your question pertains to NCL (System.Net), WCF, or ASP.NET, you may receive a better response posting directly to the forums for those technologies.

  
  

  General Forum Tips

  Here are a few suggestions (in this order of relevance) that will help you to get the best answer to your question as quickly as possible:
  

  
  

  1.    Search for your question on the forums or in Visual Studio's help system first -- it's likely someone may have already answered your question, and you won't have to waste time waiting for it to be answered again
     
     
  2.   Post in the correct forum (see below) -- since the experts in various subject matters tend to stick to the set of forums that focus on those topics, a question about the C# yield keyword posted in the Common Language Runtime forum will likely take a lot longer to be answered than the same question in the C# Language forum.
     
     
  3.   Give details about your problem --  rather than "When I call Process.Start I get an exception, please help", provide the exception type, message, and call stack. Many times it helps if you attach a snippet of the network trace/sniff of the error that shows the error. For getting network sniffs use Network Monitor and for network traces use the built in System.Net tracing according to this blog.
       If possible, provide a succinct code snippet that demonstrates the problem.  This lets us reproduce the problem on our end and allows us to come up with an answer where just a general question may not have had enough details.  Having this information means we can answer your question more quickly, without having to ask you for these details and wait for your response. If you have a big code sample please trim it down to the relevant parts that will help us understand the problem better.
     
     
  4.   Try to pinpoint the location of your error – This will help us get to the root of the issue quickly. Saying something like “My application cannot read from server” is less likely to find a quick solution as compared to “My application gets a 505 not found even though file is present since the trace shows that FtpWebRequest does not handle a 505 error for an xyz command”
     
     
  5.   Make sure your title summarizes the specific problem you have --  since we try to answer the maximum number of questions we can with our time, we often skim through question subjects to quickly find the ones that we know the answers to.  A question with a title of "Urgent! Help needed!" is not as likely to get answered as a question with a title of "How to define a sealed class using CodeDOM".  A more specific, detailed title is far more likely to get a response than a general one. 
     
     
  6.   Once you've received a correct answer to your question, either from a Microsoft employee, an MVP, or the community in general, please mark the post as answered.  You can do this with the "Mark as correct answer" button that appears on the entry containing your answer.  This step is important, since it lets the Visual Studio search engine know that there is an answer in that thread for others who may also have your problem.  It also lets people scanning the forums know that they can find an answer to that question by reading the thread.
     
     
  7.   Report bugs through Microsoft Connect, instead of on the forums -- this site allows us to see the bugs in our bug tracking database and get them assigned to the correct person.  It also allows you to follow the problem through to its resolution, and is a much better way for us to handle issues you find than a bug report posted on the forums.
     
     
  8.   Use the report button -- as moderators we try to keep spam and inflammatory comments out of the forums.  However if you do catch something that we missed, don't hesitate to use the report button so that we can keep the forums on-topic and a friendly place to go for help with your .NET questions!
