• Visual Basic Creating a multi project solution. Problem with web directory structure

  Hi all, I've developed Java Professionally for six years now, and I'd like to learn the .NET 2.0 Framework I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for a small starter app to learn with and I’m running into some setup difficulties. I would like to create a solution with three projects, data access, business logic, and the web project. I have accomplished the following. Created a Solution (directory simpleproj) Added a data access project (directory simpleproj\dataaccess) Added a business logic project (directory simpleproj\business) Added a web project (directory simpleproj\web) While my solution and my project dependencies are correctly set up, it appears that not all of my configuration files for my web ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How-to skin application?

  Hello, I am looking into the subject and have to say, that I feel a bit disoriented... :( My goal is to build the main application and allow our partners to develop skins that can be distributed/sold to product users. Obviously, we would like to make it hack-proof, so that "outsiders" cannot modify skins/develop new skins. Solution that comes to mind would be to have signed assemblies that would contain ResourceDictionaries (with optional related code), so that application could load those assemblies at run-time, validate them, and apply templates. I would guess that it is something easy to do, but I have unfortunate feeling that I am becoming almost sure that this scenario is not supported by WPF (I refuse t ...Show All

• SQL Server receive notification from server in application

  Hello, I have an application which is running on multiple computers and is connected with one sql server. I would like to that the user is notified when another user is performing some special action. So I thought that when this action begins, the server is notified either by writing some data in a table or something like this. Then I would like other applications to be notified so is possible that notification service notifies the application If yes how Thanks SSNS may be used in instances like this. If your "special actions" are not recognizable using the built-in event providers (SQL Server Event Provider & File System Event Provider), you'll need to create a custom event provider to gath ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Shader data flow questions

  Two questions: 1. Is there any decent way to get a small chunk of data (4-8 bytes) from a vertex shader back to the CPU I would only do this in direct response to a mouse click, so it need not be fast, just possible. 2. The MSDN reference material here would suggest that a variable declared static could carry information from one shader invocation to the next, so that one could, for example, calculate a running min, max, or average of some property over all vertices. But in practice it seems that my static variable is zeroed afresh for every vertex. Below are the bones of my test case. The CPU program is providing each vertex with the "extra" variable, of which extra.x is a unique id for each vertex, sta ...Show All

• Visual C# How to return properly from an eventhandler (or do something approximating the same thing)

  Hi! In my code, I need to return from an eventhandler function (function for handling the click of a button), and I can't figure out how. I think this is impossible. I'm not sure. But either way I can't figure out how to redesign my code to work around that problem if that is indeed an issue. Here's the code in question: [code] private void BtnConnect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Connect(); return; } private void Connect() { Socket = new NetFXSocket(false, "82.116.68.153", 1345); UserState = new StateObject(0, Socket.Listener, 1024); if (Socket.Connected == true) { LstConnectInfo.Items.Add("Successfully connected to login server!"); } else ...Show All

• .NET Development stored procedure Parameter information

  Hello All. My concern is how to make a stored procedure paramter accept null values, do not accept null values and biggest concern is how to check programatically whether parameter accepts null values or not I have used DeriveParameters of commandbuilder class, but no use.

• SQL Server Threat due to SQL Injection

  I have gone through a terrible situation a week ago. One website was working fine since couple of years and suddenly it was hacked. I checked the entire code in all the pages and it was not at all modified. When I checked the database, I found that javascript was inserted in it. As soon as a recordset was displaying it, javascript redirected that page to the hacker's site.. This was the mechanism was used by hacker. Which database can be more secure in such situations Nishith Shah Nishith Shah wrote: Thanx a lot buddy. But still I am not able to solve the issue. I have put strict validations on all user inputs throughout the site.. But still, one more page was hacked last night. Situation is becoming worse.. Kin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a textfile?

  How can I create a textfile that I can input info into after my "write" buttong is pushed. It should send the writing from my textbox. no, the textfile won't be saved automatically when the app is closed, you have to do this. The code sample given does write the text to the file but you have to give it the value, so if the text is in a textbox, just give it the textbox text: Dim theStreamWriter as new System.IO.StreamWriter("filename.txt") theStreamWriter.WriteLine(Me.theTextBox.Text) theStreamWriter.Close()   or My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("filename.txt", Me.theTextBox.Text, true) :-) ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista [BUG] Vista doesn't start application called "install" w/o being elevated.

  Hi, I just encountered this really strange behaviour, which is definitely a bug in Vista. Consider the following situation. You're logged in as an administrator account. Start a CLI shell of your choice, start it normally, so that it's running non-elevated. Now consider a console application called install.exe. It's neither a GUI application, nor is it an installer application in the Windows sense. It's just called install.exe. In my case it's part of GNU coreutils and it's called install because it's usual task is to install software on the system. However, it's perfectly valid to call install as normal user and use it to install stuff into a subdirectory on which you have permissions. This is what happens when running under Cygwin (proce ...Show All
