• Jamie Thomson Rule to prevent Cross Site Scripting

  hi,I would like to write some custom rules. First I want to prevent input by validating userinput by using reg ex. Second, I want to use HTMLencode/URLencode every time it is needed.can you give me some informations thx thanks Unfortunately, this kind of rule would be very complex to write and without writing some sort of data flow analysis engine, it won't be possible. However, if you know what methods need to call HtmlEncode and UrlEncode, you could walk over the instructions and simply see if the method actually calls them. However, be aware it won't be able to detect if it is being called on the right user input. Tell me if you are interested and I will give yo ...Show All

• Leo12 Clipboard Help

  Hello all, good morning :) need some help with this one please: I have 6 textboxes on my form. I need to assign each textbox with a shorcut key (eg. alt + 1, atl+2 etc..) and then copy the contents to the clipboard. I take it that I would have to put the code in a timer event & would the shorcut keys still work even if the form is not displayed on the screen Thanks, Stuart Hi there. I've been thinking and thinking about what you are proposing about taking in input when the form has no focus and I think it's an awful idea. I'm not really huge on standardization but the potential problems go beyond simply standards but cross proper system functioning. The api routine you ...Show All

• dotnetsr Notification - Closed task

  Hi, is there a way to get notifications, if someone close the task regards Simon Simon, You can create custom subscriptions using BisSubscribe.exe tool and give a custom filter to do it.

• jwellsntr How do I add a column to a database?

  Everytime that I added a column to a database it resulted in a disaster. I had to delete the form that updates the database and recreate it. Apparently there are a number of steps that have to be taken. What is the procedure I do not see how SSMSEE can get the XSD Designer to regenerate! SQL Datagridview Table Binding navigator I went into Database Explorer, selected "Open Table Definition", and added 2 new columns. When I go into Data Sources or Solution Explorer, the new fields are not there. I tried "Configure DataSet With Wizard" and that didn't help.     After I added the columns to the table, I r ...Show All

• OmegaMan Colours

  Is there any other way of using RGB colours in the bitmap.setpixel function other than Color.FromArgb Its hard to customize it as it is an integer.... BMap.SetPixel(x + 1, y + 1, Color.FromArgb(&HFF0000FF)) I cannot base this off a variable by simply doing this: &HFF00 & green & 00. .... give me a hand Looks like it works to me. What's the problem Umm, you still haven't told us what lines cause a compiler error. We can't move on until you tell us.

• Alexander Marinov Saving Changes made in a dataset (Access2002) to the original datasource

  I've just recently started using VB8 and I'm having some problem understanding the way data(changes) from my programm is to be handled, so it will be saved in the original database. I've setup the connection to the database and made a Dataset with the appropriat datatables. When I want to add a new 'record' to the database, using the command Me.SomeTableAdapter.Update() command, only the temporary database in the /bin-directory is updated and not the original one. This temporary database is of course overwritten by a new build. What am I doing wrong Thanks for your tip, I'll soon start experimenting with it. CeeKay     This is a well known issue. There are a couple ways to deal with. T ...Show All

• Prabagarane Work Item assignment on build Unit Test failure

  Hello, I've managed to get my build type assign the build failure Work Item to myself when the build fails, however, it does not create the work item if the sources build OK but the unit tests fail (and therefore the build fails). Does anyone know how to enable this Also check out the following forum post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=2718118&SiteID=1 The behavior you are seeing is by design. The CreateWorkItem task only runs if an error occurs during the CoreCompile target, which only includes compilation. You can write your own code to create a work item if tests fail, but this will require a custom task to determine whether or not the ...Show All

• Lappis delete and delete[] in destructor crashes the program.

  Hello I was fooling around with some very basic classes, and much to my dismay I keep getting a runtime error when my destructor is hit. Everything compiles and run just fine, and the exact same code will run smooth and easy if compiled with MinGW.

• Ntc Undoing exclusive checkouts

  All: My question/problem is this: A TFS user has a number of files checked out for exclusive checkout. The user has subsequently left the company. His domain user account has been deleted. We've tried a number of command line commands to unlock the files, undo the operation, delete the workspace etc. However these approaches all seem to require workspace/owner information, & are unable to find/process the workspace the files were checked out to. How can I undo/delete the checkout operation if the workspace or domain user account no longer exists Thanks in advance, Dave Riches The TFS version my company is running is RTM (8.0.50727.147). When any of the 'tf status' command, the Team Explorer tool in ...Show All

• Kolja The first team velocity

  Hi We are doing our first project with MSF agile. To schedule our first scenarios we need a team velocity, which is a possible value to apply I understand that in follow iterations our team velocity value will be calculated by the previous iteration. Thanks in advance Javier There is no absolute number to suggest in this case. In order to come up with a first value, your team has to know enough about their experience in developing software, and make a gut feeling decision about it. If you absolutely need a number, Randy Miller suggests in his book "A practical guide to eXtreme Programming" that an initial velocity "to start with is to divide the number of person days in ...Show All

• tkroll READONLY for System.IterationPath field

  We are trying to specify the System.Iteration field to be READONLY until the workitem reaches a specific task. It seems this is a special field that doesn't allow it. I can make the field readonly on the form but it cannot be enabled afterwards. Is there a way to accomplish this task Is there a documentation that provides the exceptions for special fields we have very little or no control at all Looking through the posts it seems people want to have most control over fields Team Systems folks deemed as special and as a result restricts the control over them. We are encouraged to reuse existing fields, we cannot control some of them, but there are restrictions on some of the field types one can have (i.e. no user-defined WorkItemC ...Show All
