Visual Studio Express Editions decompiler secure?
I program simple games in VB and I would like to make a internet highscore for them. I need to be able to access and edit a file on my website. Is there a way to put my FTP username and pasword in the code to acess it without someone using a decompiler to find them. I was thinking of using MY.Settings and make it a string. Can you acess the "settings" or "resources" of a click-once application with the right decompiler Wouldn't encrypting it still not work because you have to have the encyription key somewhere in your code... Eventually it would allways lead back to a key somewhere in the code right object.........................encryption key (ftp password ).........(5) ( ...Show All
Visual C# How to sort rows in DataTable
Hello! I have a DataGridView which is binded to DataTable. For database I simply use XML file. This xml file is updated (via DataTable) according to changed which are made on DataGridView. Application also works in other way - data is loaded from xml file into DataTable and populates the DataGridView. My problem is that I would like to sort data (rows) in my own way. I saw DataGridView has a Sort() function. But it is binded to DataTable so sorting rows in DataGridView is not possible. Then I tried to sort rows in DataTable but it has no sorting function... Sorting data in XML file would be to complicated... Does anybody knows the way of sorting rows (for example in DataTable) or any other way Thanks for any idea, Ziga ...Show All
Visual Studio Cannot set value because it is in a register and not in the top frame
Hi. I have a problem, that... when the string variable shows "mystring" but string.IsNullOrEmpty evaluates to true. I'm using this variable to access SortedList and it fails that key cannot be null. However when I watch the variable it has the value it is supposed to have. The subroutine where it first occurs is: public bool IsReadOnly( string fmBind) { XPathNavigator node = xpData.SelectSingleNode(bindings[fmBind].NodeSet, _nm); if ( string .IsNullOrEmpty(bindings[fmBind].ReadOnly)) return false ; return /*node != null && */ ( bool )node.Evaluate(bindings[fmBind].ReadOnly); } Exception is thrown on the return - because node gets null. However I cannot try to find out why it is, b ...Show All
SQL Server Reporting Services setup and problems
I have posted this to the general SQL Server group but without any response. I have also searched all of the forums and have not found an answer.

Windows Forms Listbox to show options from a related table
On a Windows form, I have textboxes to show data rows of a main table. The main table has a foreign key to a minor table which is a list of status values ("Pending", "In Progress" and "Done"). The object is to display the status in a listbox or combobox. I want to know how to do this. Some notes: 1) The code to set up connections, DataAdapters, CommandBuilders, bindingsources, Datasets, etc works fine. 2) I would like to set up any constructs in code rather than with a wizard. 3) Unless I have to I want to avoid creating the relationship between the tables in the wizard. 4) I get the sense that one Dataset can access and update both tables, but I don't know how to tell the dataset about additional tables. ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GSE and Vista
So I heard on letskilldave (and the FAQ mentions it too) that there will be no Vista support for awhile, but I was really curious as to what the policy of GSE on Vista was. Is there some technical reason that it will not run, or is it something discouraged due to lack of testing e.g., will I be able to convince it to run by fooling/mangling the installer, or will it explode when I try to do anything with it Having just installed Vista 5536 on my best machine (the one sitting next to my 360 and the one with a new video card) and loving it, I don't think I could stand switching back to XP. I also need to do some ‘real’ dev under Vista, so that makes things difficult too ;( Thanks for any info anyone knowledgeable can ...Show All

SQL Server Service account not being used to access remote resources
I understand that the security model for access to external resources changed in SQL 2005. However I thought that if connecting via a SQL account then the SQL 2000 behaviour was used I however have the following situation. Running a BULK INSERT from a remote machine with a SQL user account fails with error Cannot bulk load because the file "...." could not be opened. Operating system error code 5(error not found). However running the same using a instance of SSMS on the server, connecting using the same SQL login, works. I know this is an impersonation/delegation issue however I don't know what needs to be impersonated. To add to the woes this is an NT4 domain. This is not in an windows 2000 domain. I am not ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista Outlook 2003 or 2007 RPC/Http using Vista
I use 1and1.com and a hosted exchagne account. My old machine (XP/Outlook 2003) could connect to the Exchange server using RPC/HTTP and a hotfix from MS. Now that I have upgraded to Vista, I am not able to get to the Exchange server. is there a simlar hotfix that will allow the HTTP tunnel or is there some config in Vista that will let me achieve this using Outlook 2003 Bonus, I have a copy of Outlook 2007 which I would like to upgrade to as well, but 1and1 does not yet support this, at least not in tech support. In thinking this through, this is actually a windows issus vs. outlook (I think) so if i can get vista working, then theoretically Outlook 2007 shoudl work as well. Thansk t.a.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tutorials Thread
If it's not too much trouble, could this topic be stickied I am just wondering if we could have a main thread that carries links to all the tutorials. In other words, someone makes a thread with a new tutorial, and then, they post the link to it here with a description of the tutorial. That way, others don't have to search through a whole forum for just one topic. Just an idea to make it easier on everyone. On a side note, I plan on linking this thread to another thread titled: First XNA Program Development Team (FXPDT). Take a look at it. Thanks for your time. Also, I've added some tutorials for you all for now. P.S. Since the tutorials are publicly viewed and linked to, I don't think you need permission to ...Show All

Visual Studio Express Editions Link
For a link label, on click what's the code to make it launch the link I have a linklabel.text set but when I click it, it doesn't launch. Hi Goat Spirit, ahmedilyas' solution will work; unfortunately it suffers from a couple of issues. One, it only uses IE and ignores the user's default browser setting. And two, it causes your UI to block until the browser is properly loaded--which could take several seconds, leaving your UI unresponsive and unable to paint correctly if you switch to another application and back (or another application pops-up). A pattern I use is to use a BackgroundWorker object to use a background thread to spawn the browser. To make it more complex, Process.Start doesn't support exe ...Show All
