• Smart Device Development Updating listview frequently

  Hi, I have a list view to support presence, it has a buddy and his status using (Session Initiation Protocol). I want to update it whenever someone changes his status. What is the best way to update it Depends on number of records and how often you need to update it. If you have 10-20 records and need to update it few times a minute, just use LV manually. If you have 1000 records, LV might be a little slow. By the way, how it's relevant to DataTable DataGrid has nothing to do with DataTable even though DataTable is commonly used as data source for it. ...Show All

• .NET Development Shutting down network computers?

  I suspect that I once again have someone leeching of my Wireless router again and I can't connect and lock it for some reason. So I thought perhaps I could shutdown the computer who is leeching off my network As a lesson :P There are probably a lot of software out there that could do this but it would be nice to learn how I could create such software. really you need to implement security on your wireless router, such as disabling SSID and adding encryption as well as MAC Address filtering. This would all be done on your wireless router configuration page. In terms of developing it in C#, not entirely sure. you can shutdown a computer by using the Windows 2000 (I think or at least XP) and highe ...Show All

• .NET Development Isolated Storage not FIPS-compliant

  When we moved over to Version 2 of the Framework, we started getting errors regarding FIPS compliance in the encryption algorithms. We were able to fix this by changing the encryption provider we were using in our own code, but it seems that the CLR uses SHA1Managed within IsolatedStorage. This is not FIPS-compliant, and we are getting exceptions whenever we call GetUserStoreForDomain(). I have not found a way to force Isolated Storage to use another encryption provider. Is there a way to do so If not, what is the workaround We are unable to turn off the FIPS-compliance setting, for security reasons, so our only alternative may be to not use Isolated Storage. What is the recommended alternative Thanks in advance for your help. ...Show All
