• SQL Server Create HTTP request in Stored Procedure

  Hi, I want to know if it is possible to create and execute a http request in SQL Server. I want to run the request in the database as alot of the data in the url would be retrieved from the database. I want to create a stored procedure that runs the request. The stored procedure must be called from a trigger on a table. The reason I want to go this way is because it would be alot faster that to get the data from the database and then execute the http request in the application. Another reason that I want it done on the database side is because the internet connection of my client is not as fast as the one I am using for development so I don't want the pages to load to many times and get the data between the server and the client c ...Show All

• Windows Forms File Encryption?

  In my windows form application I want to develop a method to protect my text file contents from being seen by anyone. I am storing a username and password in the text file. I tried Encrypting the file, but then it cannot be modified by the user if they want to change their password or username. Or does anyone have any other suggestions as to where and how I can store a username and password that is not directly accessable via a text editor Basically, the concept of serialization is reading in a supposidly known chunk of data, and then parsing that data to whatever/whereever it belongs. If you are, for example, reading in a database record, you could call that "concept" serialization. Same thing when you read in your text f ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Shimming add-in causes Excel to crash

  Hi, I am developing an Excel add-in using C#/VS2005 with target platform Excel2003 (I have Excel 11.8033.8036), thus I extend IDTExtensibility2. I use ShimWizards2005 to create an unmanaged shim, and this seems to work fine. I use the Connect class as a loader for a middleware that connects Excel to a real-time back end. I encountered a rather curious problem when I tried to deploy this solution to a test machine, and after rather lengthy empirical testing, I found that; 1) If I use a Shim not mscoree, AND I show a non-modal form (Form.Show) then Excel crashes when I type in text in one of the TextBoxes of the form. 2) If I Don't use the shim OR I show a modal form (ShowDialog) before I show the non-modal form, it works fine. ...Show All
