• .NET Development Accessing a password protected file.

  Hi; Note: While our specific use is ASP.NET, this is a general "reading a file" question. Our ASP.NET application allows a user to give it an XML filename and the app then opens that file as a datasource to generate a report. The issue we face is we do not want the file opened using the credentials of the user that our ASP.NET app is running under for two reasons: The ASP.NET user may not have access to \\hr\payroll\salaries.xml but the person requesting the report does. The ASP.NET does have access to Web.Config but the person requesting the report does not. Our app supports both forms and WindowsIdentity as an authtication/authorization method. So we do not have the client identity to use if they are usin ...Show All

The connection string uses the Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider with following parameters Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Excel 8.0; Extended Properties=HDR=No; IMEX=1.

• Visual Studio Team System Licensing Question

  Can anyone tell me if I am correct about the following 1) For those owning Visual Studio Team Suite, there will be no cost for Datadude. 2) For those owning any other version of Visual Studio (Professional version and higher), there will be a cost for Datadude.

• Audio and Video Development Question about audio fingerprinting

  hi, The only information I can find about Audio Fingerprinting is in WM10 it is done using metadata and in WM11 it is waveform fingerprinting. I have tested that and its working fine. But is there any literature on fingerprinting and is there any API for fingerprinting (finding id3 tag, album art based on waveform fingerprint) Thanks, kalyan This forum focuses primarily on Media Foundation, which is the new multimedia platform for Windows Vista.
