• SQL Server how to build properly

  Hi, I'm very new in SSIS. I've created 3 packages in the project. sometimes when i modified the project and save/save-all it, when i tried to build (isn't this used to deploy ), I am being asked by this: Package 1 has been modified outside the source editor. Do you want to reload it When I press on yes, all my modifications were not save. If i answered no, the build process stops. i dunno if this is because the build process is already finished or it was terminated because i chose 'NO'. When i tried to rebuild it again, it will ask me the same question. What is the proper way to save and build the project When it says ' do you want to reload it ', does it mean reloading the old copy before modification Thanks! cherri ...Show All

• Visual Basic User Login Password Encryption In Database

  How to do encryption for user login  I need to encrypt it in database and after the user key in password, i need to do checking based on the encrypted password in database. Do we need decryption for this  Thank you. You could encrypt the string in your application before inserting it to your database. When validating from the database, you would simple decrypt the value in your database back to a readable string. Check out the class System.Security.Cryptography. I created a encrypt/decrypt routine based on this class. You'll find more here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/ms172831.aspx I based my routine on the samples in that url, and it should be quite easy to adjust to your need ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to store a password?

  Hi, I'm currently creating a .Net (windows application) in Visual Basic. In order to sign up a new user I'll ask for a password. But how should I save this (store it for the next logon) password I do have a mdb database where I could create a table to hold the passwords, but how is this solved if no database is to be used Is the password string saved to a standard txt.file If so, I guess some form of securing the string is done. Please respond with other possible solutions for storing a user password. Thank you, I created a method based on the registry to save the password associated with a user. Works fine. However, the password is 'dead easy' to find if you look in the registry. Is there a quick ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Video "pixelisation" using Video Mixing Renderer 9

  Hi, I'm working on a mpeg2 ts file video player relying on existing directshow decoder filters. This works great under XP SP2 with for example NVidia puredecoder, or any other mpeg2 decoders. Running my application under Vista RC2 Ultimate Edition, the video is pixelized as if the video was zoomed in. If I play the same file with Windows Media Player, video is perfect. This test has been done with default Microsoft MPEG2 decoder filter, and it seems to be the same with any other decoders. Does this have something to do with the Video Mixer Renderer 9 Did I miss something with it under Vista I also made a quick test with Video Mixer Renderer 7, unfortunately, it is the same result. If anyone can point me on the right way to ...Show All

• Visual Studio Lets talk about rendering performance

  Hello. Our company distributes a vertical market accounting app which we've migrated from Crystal Reports to the WinForms ReportViewer. Our installed base is around 6,000 end users. We've found the viewer to be a solid product and we're pleased with the functionality and stability. That said, we may be forced to abandon reporting services for some applications due to performance issues. As an example, we have a report that processes 10,000 rows and perhaps 20 columns. On a 3 GHz machine with 2GB RAM, it takes 40 seconds to render the report (not counting query time). In addition, ReportViewer consumes approx 400MB of memory for this process (after garbage collection). These results won't cut it when a user is waiting for real-time outpu ...Show All

• Visual C# Convert string to operation

  Hi! Is it possible to convert strings to operations in a relatively simple way For example convert this string: string OperationInString = "3+3+9"; somehow, so I get back "15". Thanks in advance. ;) Code generation is not as difficult as it appears at first. If you want to customize the code later or extend the class or the method that is generated, e.g. by adding parameters, it also makes sense to take a look at the actual code that it compiled. If you want to do so, just at this peace of code before the comment "//check for errors": using (System.IO. StringWriter stringWriter = new System.IO.
