• Visual C# what is spyware signature and how to generate

  is anyone knows about the above said topic. please help help us in this regard A "spyware signature" is a short string of bytes that is unique to a particular spyware app. It's nothing "official", and is determined by an anti-spyware author who analyizes the hex dump of the spyware app. Using the same procedure, a signature could be found for any executable, and a single executable could provide several different signatures depending on whos looking for them, and how they go about it. (Since Anti-virus/anti-spyware authors talk to each other and trade signatures, you should allways be a bit suspisous about the number of virsuses/spyware a utility detects --- odds are, they are looking for several of them twice ...Show All

• SQL Server Recommendation on Sync with Access and SQL Everywhere

  I am re-writing an application for Windows CE which was originally written for the Palm OS. The original application was written in VB6 using access databases. I will be re-writing it in VB.Net and was considering using SQL Everywhere as it seems to fit the criteria that i need. There is also an application written for the desktop that synchronizes with the mobile application. This also is written in VB6 and uses Access Databases. I found the Sync with access CTP which i thought was exactly what i will need for this project. However i have a few concerns about SQL and Access and would like to ask a few questions before i can continue with this project. I read that this Sync with access will allow me to synchronize the data between ...Show All

• Community Chat .NET

  What is the difference between .NET and java. If both are platform independent, can you suggest which is the most preferable based on platform independency. .Net and Java are both platform independent. All you need is the runtime software for the platform. Offical Supports: Language for .Net: C# (primary), C++, VB, and other languages (I don't know what else). Language for Java: Java. Mutiplatform Support .Net: Windows. (Other platform is available by 3rd party developer. I don't remember the project name.) Mutiplatform Support Java: Many platforms. Don't know the details. If you targets Windows, .Net is the best. .Net is faster, and you can do those "unsafe" tricks on C# or C++. But since other pla ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagrid: multiple data elements in one cell

  Hey everyone. Hope you can help me on this one. I am reading data from an SQL database which inventories all the content on our intranet into a datagrid. It is a simple two column datagrid. It displays the content in the left column and the "owners" username in the right. However, there are multiple owners for each content item in the database. So there ends up being 4 or 5 redundant values in the left column. Is there anyway in code or in the SQL select that i can make all of the owners appear in one cell comma delimited I am using bound columns by the way, and am willing to switch to template columns if it is necessary for this. Thank you in advance for your help, J.Button You will ...Show All
