Re "System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Dispose

   Closing TcpClient closes the underlying network stream"

Oh tell me they've fixed the other problem...  In NETCF when the TcpClient was finalized the Socket/NetworkStream was closed too!  That means the following patterns isn't usable:

   class Wrapper

   {

       Stream conn;

       public void Connect(string hostname)

       {

           //

           TcpClient cli = new TcpClient(hostname);

           conn = cli.GetStream();

       }

       ... ...

   }

Because at some later point the TcpClient will be GC and that will close the connection!   And why use that pattern?  Because in NETCFv1 there's no Socket.Connect(string) method. :-(

Oh dear, there's no bug report at connect.microsoft.com.  Woops, should have created one... :-(

Typo: Should have said "There's no Socket.Connect(string,int) in NETCF (any version)."
