Welcome David! I'm looking forward to read your posts!

thanks for the code ;-)

Re-Enable the Authentication Method of IE

They appear to have fixed both the display bug _and_ dissabled Authentication, so re-enabling it shouldn't expose you to the display bug again, but you'll still be exposed to addresses like "microsoft.com{lots-of-random-garbage}@202.49.168.192/".

It's only a matter of time until someone finds -another- bug in IE, and the scammers will get another two-month window to exploit it before MS produces a patch.

The safest way to get that functionality back is to download a 'better' browser..

Oh, one other thing; in the past people have found registry hacks to change other undesirable behaviour in Windows (Messenger, for example) and some time later a Microsoft patch changes it back. So if you do apply this hack, expect that it will break again with random security updates and you'll have to keep applying it.

Apparently "Trustworthy computing" involves randomly changing the user's desired configuration.

Well, I followed all the steps, tryed doing it manually and I didnt have my user:pass back. Then I tryed the file you guys have, downloaded it and ran it, upgraded the registry, still didnt work... You guys have any idea what am I doing wrong? I of course rebooted my computer, but it still didnt work... Please help!!!

PDC whidbey is in fact "Version 8.0.30703.27 (m2.030828-2105)"...sounds the same to me.

W00T, ended up working somehow.... =P Thanks anyways doh! =)

seems like fun!!
i wanted to be there too ;)

David they did the same presentation in Ireland yesterday !
And David Chappell did the same but he wore the Irish football jersey.

I was impressed by Avalon, but it seems to be confirmed by the MS chaps it will be only for Longhorn users. so not sure how we are going to deploy something like this before maybe 2010.

Sorry I commented on the wrong post :-)

David,

Now I know whom I took a picture of at the end of the Conference. BTW, very nice overview you wrote about the event. I hope you like it and that we see you next time.

Greetings,

Gerd

nice picture! :p
i think it was very intresting, the next time they organize those devdays, i might go there too
MS seems to have a lot of new facilities developed, that's kinda cool :p

greets,

Dhoore

ja tis gelik nog redelijk cool en al
je moet wel teveel invullen vind ik :p
kzijn da gestopt na een tijdje, khad geen zin meer ;)

greets

I agree we have to wait for Longhorn for a while, but it's nice to know that it's coming.

Nice update David. It's really cool :) and very handy.

It's indeed very annoying to click on every picture.
I love this script :d

David's pictures from DevDays

yeah it's kinda cool, except when there are pictures with an extension like .JPG (notice the uppercase), then those pictures aren't shown, but it's still good thou (y)

Microsoft Belgium Developer & IT Pro Days 2004

Use the lh_usa_4051_x86fre_pro.iso image instead of the
lh_usa_4051_x86chk_pro.iso image.

hth,
thomas

Maybe the CD is dodgy?

How to get this working?
I cant get it working..
I want to list directory information of my /images for example.
Wanna show the links to the image + creation date + file size.. But don't know howto :s
Ideas?

Hey. I got the same thing. I'm installing lh_usa_4051_x86fre_pro.iso downloaded today (2/16/200). I'm using the ISO capture from VirtualPC. Bummer.

OOPS. I left the installer running over lunch and it seems to be progressing (although it is going to take a lot longer than 14 minutes :) ). Sorry about that.

Linux runs on old, slow hardware with better performance than Windows. That's why it "lasts longer."

Financial diff comes from case studies. "I was spending $X with Microsoft. Now it's $Y with Linux." Tends to be a big difference.

I'm a .Net developer but I can see their point.

Dennis, you can run Windows 95 on a 386 with 32MB of memory, no problem! I'm pretty sure if you want to run the latest version of a Linux distro with the latest version of an office suite that you'll need a pretty beefed pc (been there done that).

A small note regarding this topic (from a developer point of view): increasing computer power is our friend (quote from Steve Riley, I thought). Fast computers enable us to write great software. VS.NET 2003 offers a much greater user experience than VB 1 for example because I like background compilation, intellisense, dynamic help (in fact I don't like dynamic help but you get the point), ... all these features improve my productivity.

LOL! It proves once again that politicians should stay out of technology.. aahh.. ignorance is bliss.. :-)

nice look, altough it could be touch lighter :)

nice tool! it's very usefull, thanks!

there's a lot of black in the default look :)
but that's doesn't matter, i kinda like black :p

thanks from another php coder ;)

PHP Code highlighting in Visual Studio .NET

Unfortunately, David, we will probably not be able to do the exact layout that you have above in XAML in v1. The reason is that we only support affine 2D transforms on controls. This means that you should be able to skew, but you can't do any perspective transforms. Another way to think about it is that all parallel lines are still parallel after an affine transform.

Perhaps one of these days I'll post on my blog about that decision, but in the meantime, you can do a lot with a simple skew (as you saw from the demos at the PDC).

As to not being able to put a skew on a listbox -- that sounds like a bug to me.

Joe

Thanx to another "open" programmer...

Skewed view

I kinda like the colors, they are indeed kiddie, but i love the buttons!
nice work David ;)

well this is some very nice source code you posted here.
i think a lot of people can learn from it
thanks!

i think it's a very good idea, in this way we (= fellow students and other persons) can learn from examples, which is, I think, the best way to learn something

Well, what do you think I think of this plan? :-p

It's a genious idea,...

Didn't I tell someone It would be cool to make an IRC-bot with C# ;-), just kidding.

If I can find some new subjects to work on, and subjects that aren't too hard, because, I can't ask you to write an Operating System, or could I :-p...?


(This isn't necessary, there are plenty of OS'es, and plenty left to try)

Muchos graçias senior,

I'll check this source out, but It won't be for today, maybe in a couple of hours, (tomorrow :-p)...

Non-Rectangular Forms with .NET

cool! it's kinda funny, and strange :s ;)

Nice, thx voor the answer...
will test is someday :)

Thanks, this was just what I was looking for.
Doesn't look difficult after all.

I think this 'll be handy :)

nice, verry nice :)

but can't the picture be included in the exe-file?

-bert-

hmmm,
I tought i found that one a while back :p

still waiting for the intellisense plugin for PHP :)

Real well done :) I Like it. It has been very usefull

it's very nice, this could by usefull if you want to test small files, cool :)

Forms non rettangolari

Very nice one (y), good work David. I will test it immediately.

omg, this is really strange!!
when i do this test, i see lots of squares like this: ????????
(dunno if that worked)
so it's not really invisible but still very strange

in notepad it are squars, when I copied it to here it were strange Chinese signs. After posting it became ????????

hehe :)

another strange one, if I create the file with UltraEdit, and then load it in Notepad, I get the same squares. If I load it in UltraEdit, it's OK.

???

Robert

Maby easter egg :p

Hmmm, this could be handy :)

cya later projects :p

Thankyouverrymutch!

Well.. it is just an encoding issue. Nothing more :)
I think it is stupid from notepad that it even has encoding.
It is time for a new 'notepad' with only plain dos text
in c++ for speed off course.
Interested?

BTW, it works with that little file

hu? Damn.. please give me ya email and i`ll send it manually.. strange.. i`ll take a look to the source

Why convert the hashed value to a string? It is still storable - be it a binary field in a DB, or a binary file :)

nice done, yeah in php it's indeed easier :)

Weird problem indeed. When you open the file using UTF-8 encoding, nothing goes wrong, but when you open it using the default ASCII, it goes wrong. :-(

we use it in our zosa project and it rocks

this is why:
because of the encoding issue, notepad sees the character set as Chinese, which needs the font 'SimSun", and if that's not present on your system, or you're using another font (as in notepad), you get the empty space or squares...

Try copying and pasting the text in Wordpad, and you'll see that the font dropdown box shows the font SimSun.

gonna use it for asp.net project
thanks alot mister elite coder ;) (in a positive meaning that is :p)

I tested the project you uploaded under Windows2000 but it works in a strange way. The region is correct but the backgroung image of the form isn't align with the region, so i can see the purple pixel around the bitmap.

ehmm no :)
the problem isn't about few pixels around the image, but the background is shifted down about 50 px, i think this is the vertical space of the caption or not?

after this line:
this.Region = RegionConvert.ConvertFromTransparentBitmap(imageBackground, transparentColor);

I must add this one:

this.Region.Translate(SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize.Width - 1,SystemInformation.CaptionHeight + SystemInformation.FrameBorderSize.Height - 1 );

Dont ask me why, but it works fine now :) :)

Take Outs: The Digital Doggy Bag of Blog Bits for 29 February 2004

I used your uploaded project and it has the FormBorderStyle property already set to None.

hmm, Isn't this something we use in Zosa ;-)

Keep up the good work David and tnx for the code, I'am sure I can use it for other projects then Zosa too.

Happy birthday David!

Happy Birthday David !

I'm curious about the other two articles.

Yolly good birthday today :)
Good yob in not dieing :p

well euh... that is what a birthday is no?

Okay, an other thing to study :p

Thats an other thing I can study...
so euh... format... XP? something wrong?

You have been Taken Out! Thanks for the post.

Thanks for the source code, I'm using it for some stuff I'm playing with. So far it's working perfectly.

... right, sorry/thanks.

This looks great. I know AS/400 is used a lot in the business world, and yes I know how difficult it is to program the AS/400. I've done it for 4 years.

I don't know if you already know, but Microsoft has also a solution to use the AS/400 as back-end. it's named Host Integration Server 2004 (HIS). At this moment it's still in Beta 2. Whit HIS, you can call RPG programs from withing VS.net and visa versa;

I have used HIS now for a few months, and we're implementing this server for a customer. The big advantage is that you can leave all your business logic and the database site on the AS/400. You just have to write an interface between the two in HIS and the front end in f.e. ASP.Net.

You can find some information, troubles and there solution on my blog.

yeap! RPG! i think it stands for Role Playing Games.....:p

Take Outs for 21 March 2004.

String literals starting with @ are not string where you don't have to escape special characters, they are strings where you can't escape those. Don't have to would mean that you can, but don't have to if you don't want to but that's not how @ strings work. @ just ignore standard escape sequences, \ is considered a literal \ character, not an escape sequence mark. You cannot use escape sequences at all in @ strings. If you want to include a new line character in your string you can't use @ literal.

Congrats! Already a FBB (Famous Belgian Blogger)! ;-)

we will go for a long time, walk and run. I'm sure about that ;-)

maby I'll try it again,
previous version wasn't that good...

Taking notes...
could use it soon :p

php,
you can fit "anything" in a var..
string, int, char :)

C#
a var can only contain one type of data-struct, no?

You go girl!
boy...

nice article,it quench my programming hurdel....

Hmmm..... kinda creepy the look of "Microsoft" behind *BARS*

with all the lawsuites ms is dealing with ..... just kinda a funny / hinky vibe with the bars...

Notepad has to guess the encoding and can be tricked into guessing wrong.

you forgot to mention me :p

You do know that the Telnet is a defined standard. You can look up the RFCs. This is nice little chat program, but it is not telnet.

I don't have SimSun or any other Chinese font, so Notepad must be substituting a Japanese font. But no matter what encoding Notepad guessed, it isn't a Japanese encoding. The display consists of:
a full-width Kanji character
a half-width black rectangle
three full-width Kanji characters
a half-width black rectangle
a full-width Kanji character
a half-width black rectangle

The half-width black rectangles are the same as Notepad normally displays for a single byte value which is neither a valid single-byte character nor the first byte of a valid double-byte character.

> It's not really an 'issue'. It's just that Notepad is not capable of

It is an issue. Notepad isn't displaying a file's contents that are perfectly well encoded in Windows's main, system, default code page. In Japanese Windows systems this is code page 932 (Shift-JIS), set by default at the beginning of the install process, and rarely changed (I didn't change it). In US Windows systems I thought it would be either code page 437 or 850, but someone told me it's something different (without saying which one), but still, surely it gets set by default at the beginning of the install process and most US users don't change it. When Notepad can't even display those files correctly, Unicode variants are not to blame.

how to use them

somebody can give me exmples,

thank!

newman0708@yahoo.com.cn

good work,

very nice code!

Keep on reading that book... It's one of the books every developer should read, don't you think?

then why are ther still "so many" exploits...

do notice the quotes!

that's odd :p
my solution -> don't unchek it :p

Don't know if anyone's still watching this thread after so long, and sorry to chime in with a "Me Too", but, well, "Me too".
I've tried it off both the first DVD and the ISO image, with the same problem.
I get this under VMware and Virtual PC 2004.
So far all I can think of is that it doesn't like something about my hardware configuration, either the motherboard (it's 3 years old at least) or the 1G of generic RAM I added to my 512m base RAM.

It's a little bit frustrating.

noted into memory :p

small bug are hard to find :p

You should look into using the ByteFX MySQL library. It's a native MySQL interface for .NET, so you don't have to use ODBC or ODBC drivers. It also supports name parameters, which could certainly make the code easier to understand and update.

Just a thought! I've been using the library for a project I've been working on, and it's worked great.

glad to know my asp.net thread was of use to someone else as well as me.

I got that for the first time a couple weeks ago. It sounded horrible, I expected VS to shut down or something...

This stupid message has been around since COM at least, and unfortunately not fixed yet.

Take Outs for 9 April 2004

It is limiting. Read the docs and it will say that the amount of characters in a NTFS and FAT32 partitions can only have 255 characters.

yes, it's really stupid mistake :)

Ok, interesting. I'll try the Encoding.Default! Yes, about the JOIN part...I fixed that. :)

Tell me if you want to have a look of the VB-version...

Best regards,
Svarvsven (skom_svarvsven@yahoo.com)

Yes, the System.Text.Encoding.Default worked really nice. Thanks! (and thanks for such a quick answer too)

hope i'll still get that edition :)

This makes sense as VS add-ins are COM objects.

@BertG: if you don't get one, let me know, we'll leave you without the second part of the TabletPC article :)

@David: Glad you liked it, and acctualy it's produced by EMEA and shipped through Germany. Editing takes place in Schwitzerland...

top job. i'v ealtered the regs file for actionscript *.as files, lovely job.

I am pretty mucho interested in the vb.net / vb version of the code.

Any way to get a copy of it ?

Iam haveing the same problem at 18 minuites it says Error copying files Please help me fakehair@msn.com is my msn and xsx213 is my aim pleaseee helpppp

I've been to the convention last year and indeed, it is just marketing, nothing more.
I think devdays are much more valuable for us (student) developers... but these aren't free ....

wow ! an amizing script
is it possible to make a function like showImages("url of an opendir")
I tried to do this but it didn't work

Sweeeeet powerpoint presentation, i like the lizard a lot. If I could find his head, we can fix it! :D

I can't say a lot about the content, because I don't have any knowledge about it, but it seems to be interesting!

It was a very nice presentation, I learnt alot about secure coding :). I also took this picture (after a few tries)

hey, sounds like I've missed something interesting.
But thanks for giving me an individual lesson :p

To bad I had to mis that presentation... :s

Would you be willing to provide me with a download of Longhorn?
I have been trying to find it, but have not had any success.

My email address is baystatersweb@charter.net

Thank you.

This was extremeley helpful, thanks!!!

However, if somebody finds a more strict way (with generic functions only), then i would love to know. This is something U have been looking for quite a while now.

Im having a very big problem with whidbey. I does not recognise the MSAvalon namespace. I check in properties and its set to Framework 1.2, whats up?

I am having the same problems with interbase/firbird. I tried the ? marks and that did work. Does anyone know of a similar library for interbase/firebird so I can use named parameters? Thanks

doesn't work for me on VS 7.0.

Hi,

I did the changes for the JOIN problem, however I still can't connect to othernet, whereas I can connect to quakenet.
Any ideas?

Regards,
tom (tom.frey@greentreetrading.com)

@David

That's what I did and the 376 comes in just fine that's why I don't know where the problem is ... no error messages either

just to let you know, I figured out the problem now.
It's in here:
if (commandParts[0].IndexOf(this.IrcServer) != -1)
because if you connect to a server like irc.othernet.org or irc.quakenet.org you'll actually get redirected to another server like "Warren.MS.US.Othernet.org" and that's why the whole switch segment never gets triggered

this can bee handy...
lets stry it on non executables :p

thanks for this :)

Thanks Chris, I will have to give it a shot. Not sure I am going to be able to figure out how to get it to work, but I will try.

How about using interfaces...

How create a verify for web form?

Just wow... I enjoy reading posts like this, although I can sympathize with your plight from the other end as well. I remember a few years back as Win2k was coming out, I had a 3 hour tech support call with MS trying to get it installed on a Gigabit mobo. It seems that the bios didn't recognize certain cylinders/tracks on my hard drive. I eventually got windows installed, but it trashed the drives by a few months later...

Probably your best bet is to get one of the not quite M$ friendly versions. I'm not advocating piracy, but sometimes install issues get fixed by these groups when they work on it. I've run a few winbeta versions that work just fine. It also could be flaky memory or a funky hdd cache on your part.

Yea, this does not work in Visual Studio .NET 2002. Can anyone help?

I used the "php_edit2002.reg" which is for 7.0 and it did not work.

Nope that doesn't work on 2002 either =(. Is there an update from 7.0 to 7.1 or did us 7.0 owners just get shafted?

IMHO you have done better, layout wise that is...

Registerd for 4, but didn't get it...
hoping i'll get it now?

I'm folowing these for 2 years, or have been trying too...

and it surly aint easy :p

an ircbot glined me how can i get through it? please help me if you can this is my e-mail if any one can help me it will be greatly appriciated - shane-

skullraider144@yahoo.com

what do i need to istall longhorn?i mean programs and how many cd`s are they?And where can i get the original disk(s)please write back

Would you be willing to provide me with an FTP site & UIDPWD for a download of Longhorn 4074? Been trying to find it, but have not had any success, yet!

My email address is emaleme(at)look.ca ... TIA.

"yes, play on words > not mail > but MALE > and me NOT either!"

thanks a lot,
zack

i don't care what version, any will do

not even top 100?
oh David...

Just joking, well done :)

Since when do you read the License Agreement? :p

If some one creates an "ACT OF GOD" virus we're all screwed.

I think "Acts of God" has a specific legal meaning, covering earthquakes and the like. Could be wrong about this, though.

Many EULA's include "Acts of God" in their agreements.

so, i'm an atheist can i agree?

Does it cover programmers that THINK they're god?

Scott: Yea ;o) In case if their site will go down becouse of programmer who think he is God ;o)

I think it's very funny :p

I am terribly sorry, I had thought I reviewed the Win32Security dll code carefully, however I missed the call to PrepareAcesForACL() that ultimately gets indirectly called by the SetDacl function. I've been researching how to do this for some time including reading some security books on common mistakes. Most of my reading brought me right to the windows api level (advapi32) where the SetDacl function does not take care of ACE ordering for you. I guess I got a bit over zealous and jumped the gun, I believe you are correct, your orginal code should work well.

-Chris

Adding the following line should take care of any Ace issues.
dacl.RemoveAces(sidUser);

I have looked in the source for Win32Security and the funciton returns false if the Dacl is null, empty, or an Ace for the sid specified is not found.

Can you help me on a couple of lines I need to write. All I need is to remove access to everyone to a particular file and then set read and write accress to one particular user. Help help ehlps

How can I get a list of all the sid. is there are way to remove acces to all ?

The problem with not being able to view source of a web page (from IE) can crop up when you have a very large temporary Internet files folder, another symptom is when you right click an image to save it disk the save as dialoge will only allow .bmp extension. just clear your temp files ( Tools > Internet Options > General Tab > Delete Files) and the problem goes away :)

Nice! That happened to me a few months ago. I fixed it by downloading TweakUI and Notepad2. Now I will know what to look for if it ever happens again! Thanks!

.COM's have been run in preference to .EXE's since the days of DOS.

Some viruses back then including PowerPump used to just create a hidden .COM that matched a .EXE name giving it chance to copy itself before launching the .EXE

I'd strongly recommend finding out exactly what notepad.com is on your system ASAP. I can't think of anything legitimate...

I can view source again! I cleared my temporary internet files, which took about 5 minutes, and now source opens. Thanks for the tip!

Ow yeah, I knew that problem of 'too many temporary Internet files', but the extensions, I didn't knew that .COM is taken before .EXE, kinda strange

It may be just for XP Home edition but if you put a shortcut to Notepad on your desktop, view source will stop working. I added a shortcut for my son to kick off notepad to practice typing and that broke IE's view source. Renaming the shortcut fixed it.

hmmm, now i see why you don't have to place the extention, if you want to strat notepad from RUN :p

hey nice going :)
Isn't that the site with the 'lets do it how they want"-layout ? :p

Try this app: Opendir Viewer

You can find it on some download sites and the developer is niceapps, www.niceapps.com, if i remember correctly

i want to save the text file as encoding"UNICODE"...ANYONE HELP

THANX

I'm not running Office 2003, so I dont have msoutl.olb, can someone email it to me or tell me where I can get it?

van240sx@yahoo.ca

thanks

VERY COOL!! Now if only I could find the same for .cfm as well.

Doesn't work for me either.

This is because i do not have C# or C++ installed with my VS.NET ....

lol just to be an asshole, would you like to send me the recent longhorn version

lol just kiddin, ill find it myself, its been awhile, last time i got it was 4051... and they havnt sent me the new one yet...

Best of luck ;)

I wrote a short app that creates folders for users in Active Directory, and assigns permissions to them using this library. I was curious if permissions could be set on a network share (since we programmatically create a share of these folders once they are created.)

By default, the share gives 'Everyone' full control, and I would like to modify this. Can this be done using this or some other library.

David, I sat in on two DotNetNuke sessions at DevTeach with Jim Duffy and I am definitely fired up about DNN, so your tips as I am about to install it, are PRICELESS! (Well, not priceless maybe, but really really helpful!) Thanks!

Interesting...
Thanx for the pointers :)

DotNetNuke guys should test their releases better

I used this library basically the same way you have, however, the containter inheritance does not seem to be working for me. I set the AceFlags to AceFlags.OBJECT_INHERIT_ACE | AceFlags.CONTAINER_INHERIT_ACE, as you do, but when I look at the properties of a subfolder, it does not show the user in the security tab. If I subsequently add another user to the same folder using Explorer, then the user I added with code magically appears.

Does this work for anyone else?

wow, that's very nice! when i got the time, i will also create my own outlook today :)

nice job!

Nice, but it would be really nice if you used for example Cassini or Bart De Smet's solution for hosting ASP.NET pages (based on Cassini) instead of PHP ;)...

Very nice, I will try to do this for my own outlook.

Just some remarks ;-) :
- When using this with Outlook 2000 SP3, you can't modify my outlook today anymore. You have to change a value in the registry.
- The technology you use is called "Digital Dashboard". Although you can use this in Outlook 2003, it's the old way. MS has now Portal Server which you can use to modify your Outlook. This because with Digital Dashboard, you have to know HTML and you have to change everything with scripting. But OK, for private use Digital Dashboard is very usefull because otherwise you need to install portal server. But in company environments more and more they will use portal server for the modifications.

how can c# die when microsoft made it and its part of a vs.net package very nicely done. what microsoft makes the public wants.

Customising Outlook today

nice, this is usefull :)

thx!

Hi, thanks for the Code !!

But I got an issue setting the owner ship of an user. Anything that I am doin is add a line to your code:

secDesc.SetOwner(sidUser);

This does not work, I am new to ACLs and stuff like that, what am I doing wrong ?

:marcus

Dat dutch rest in english,
minor mistake :p

this is good info :)
maby we could teach it at school :)

same as last year?

congrats =)
I had 'just' a 'High Distinction', but that's fine with me :)

Just what i was looking for. Thanks mate.

Btw, what theme are you using in your screen shot?

How do I know which additional datafields are available ?
You are using some of them like datafld="Name"....

Thanks & regards
Derek

this is nice :)
add's a lot of code lines :)

what about the ClientRectangle? I'd like to use a shaped form like this, but inside of it i want to be able to use the standard Dock Fill method to have a child control resize to an inset position... e.g. i want to draw my own title bar and resize edges. when i just shape the window, the ClientRectangle is always the max size, so components which Dock Fill stretch out over my edges!

Am I making sense? I tried overriding WndProc for WM_NCCALCSIZE, but even though I inset the ClientRectangle, it seems to have no effect.

Hi,
I add reference to 'Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library'
but i didn't get the Interop.Outlook namespace

any help?

Yes I get 3 new references:

2.outlook
3.stdole

p.s
if you can help me - i need to import data form outlook to dataset
any help?

You forgot my own God. The God of PC-nitwits. :-d

Hopefully we will not have a God for Microsoft Software and Linux Software. This can only result to a religion war ;)

God of Bugs
and he has the Gremlins at his beck and call when he wants to strike ??

i think you have to much fantasy ;)
but i must say that i like your new religion! :D

ok, i tried to post this 5 times...

"I don't believe in god's",

but for some strage reason, My power went out, IE crashed, my screen exploded...

Think i know who's behind it....

The all powerfull ROOT / Admin (what ever you prefer :p)!

cool, i had 2 mistakes, but that was good too ;)
congratz

Gratz!! :)

I had two mistakes as well, two little, no big mistakes ;)

Hi..
this is good program. I try to write a program that is client for this server but when close the server occur an error at

while ((chatMsg = this.ChatReader.ReadLine()) != null) {

becasue data unable to read. how can I repair this error.

Hi - i am a student and would like to learn a little about integrating different technologies. I am looking into the integration of technology of two different companies, here are some details...

company 1 -
win2000, pentium machines, UX
switching tech in LAN
leased line WAN
Oracle Technology
turnkey apps
legacy apps (CICS, VSAM, IMS, MVC)
company wide integrated internet and email (MS EXchange)

company 2 -
IBM host and SNA environment
AS400 amd BPCS
Near company wide email (Lotus Notes)

my aim is to integrate the two in the best way.
consolidate group communications (intra company WAN)
extend network for voice and data integration
enforcing security

also, company 1 has sites worldwide and company 2 is in a different country.

please could you advise me on a wise move for integration.

thanks

but i was there :p

i hope they learned not to use claroline anymore...

I've got the magazine :)

haven't read all of it though

Hi, Thanks for the code.
i want to access effective permission of logged in User for file as well as AD Object.
This DAcl gives me splitted permission and i dont know how to calculate effective permission for logged in user. I think there must be something but i dont know what and where?
I would be great if you guys can help me.

Thanks a million in advance.

Sweet mother of God. :D
Is there an impact on the amount of time it takes for the dialog to load?

this is nice! I like it a lot :)

Great and interesting... :)

What visual theme are you using? That's a nice looking start button as well.

wheeeeeeeee

it works, nice tutorial!!!!!!

Even create a not very long directory name written in Chinese may cause errors. The most frequently situation is that you find you cannot delete this directory. It seems that Windows systems reinterpret it into something else.

When is the theme tweaking coming? =) (I like that visual theme :p)

Love the tutorials, keep them comming

A backup before editing, one to edit on and backup with replacer...
-> 2 backups = overkill :p

nice tutorial :)

THANKS!!! Works great for me in VS 2002. :o)

I have a question
..
I am copying some files from one folder to another.
I want to copy the NTFS permissions of the files too
Any Idea on how to do that???

Thanks
MVB

is this problem sorted out? I have the same problem as you mentioned. What is the exact solution?

Aha, I fixed it out. But strange, there was 2 applications under windows\system32, notepad.exe and notpad.exe. I tried to copy a new notepad.exe from another computer to mine, and it said that "I am trying to copy ower notpad.exe. Could it be because of a trojan or virus? Anyway I backed up old files, I copied the new notepad to the original path and I deleted notpad.exe. It works.

How Open *.pst file ???

hello please my run menu

I even know much of this stuff... And I'm not even an IT-er... SHAME ON THEM!!

Yeah, I know lots of "IT" people that can't understand what a LAN IP is... Sigh...

And RAM. That's so funny. We used to have a guy here that didn't understand the concept of LOW DENSITY SDRAM. Loser.

* Can't spell "lose" when posting to a blog or message board.

Cool, but I still, can't understand the language you coded it in... But I find the matches with the song ;)

After "Destroy their mobo and CPU by installing a printer" I'm going to be picturing somebody trying to install a printer internally for days . When I first read about the Ctrl-Alt-Del I thought you were being picky about HOW they did it, which Ctrl and Alt keys and what fingers, but then realized you mean either hitting the wrong keys or hitting Del first. I just take for granted that anyone using a computer more than a week has picked up on most of this stuff, but for an IT person to not know it makes me wonder what kind of favors they had to do to get the job.

"Believe that MSN is the only IM"

hmm... I believe MSN is the only IM [that matters]. Does that make me a bad IT person? :)

It was 'Prince' first of all, Sinead O'Conner did a cover of it.

Can not shutdown a windows XP computer in 5 blind! keypresses :p

Sinead O'Conner version is GOOOD!
and now I'll think of this code, instaid of enjoying the song :s :p

well...theres an ISAPI filter that supposedly allows you to actually RUN multiple sites concurrently with XP Pro...and IIS 5.x

its called multisite...you can google for it.

i couldnt make it work though..if you can, let us know.

Gabe.

THIS watercolor thems is so sweet! This tutorial is great =) much bettery then that Windows XP Silver look ;)

And again, gratz to the man ;)

Bloody heck! Talk about coincidence! I just got my new laptop, a Dell Inspiron 8600 and just installed a fresh Windows XP Professional, and remembered seeing this cool utility that allowed you to create multiple web sites in IIS on XP Pro, but couldn't remember where...

So - thanks!!!

I was unable to get my WLAN card working using the ndiswrapper under Gentoo with kernel 2.4.27, which sucks because I've got a Realtek rtl8180 based card and I want to run the 2.6 kernel. I was able to get the 2.4 drivers from Realtek working under Gentoo. I may have to try it again since I think I had an IRQ problem and not a problem with the actual driver.

Is the Dell trumoble a Realtek based card? I couldn't get a laptop with the Dell card to stay connected to my home WLAN at all. Kept dropping off after it would connect.

same here, theme hacking is actually more easy :)

this is very funny :D
admin rights, it could come in handy some day ;)

greets

I fail to see how having to hack your registry to get a simple feature refutes the benefit of the same feature built in to a competing browser. Shouldn't easy things be ... easy?

Well, that's nearly valid, but it does beg the obvious question doesn't it?

Opening a .reg file may not be difficult for a non-developer, but creating one is.

Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint), keywords are among the least important advantages they've got over IE.

I agree. Use what you want, or are used to. So long as you're informed.

I would, however, strongly discourage people from hacking their registry to get the keyword feature, especially if they don't know what they're doing. If that's an important feature, switch.

Never had that happen before, but having four computers with the sam e administrator password grants me full access to them all. Plus, I use the C$ share to navigate to folders via navigation bar. Very few people ever realize that Windows 2000 (and XP, I think) default share your hard drive to anyone with the admin password; no matter WHERE you are on the network.

Maybe you're the "one."

seems intresting, i wish i was there too,
it's a shame i had to work

i tried it, but i had a little problem, when the wallpaper changed it didn't show the wallpaper althoug it was selected as background in the registry. But i had the color blue as background

Hi Just tried this with Oulook 2003 and got an exception error?

Thanks

huh? What are you talking about? Is there a dummy version, 'cause I can't follow any longer. I'm just an user who only use ready made programm's. I'm trying Firefox for the moment, but I can hardly find differences between Firefox and IE and no, I don't have the intention to play with reg's in IE neither in Firefox.

Forget Multisite - its ok for very basic flat sites but can't handle asp. Read through their support forum backwards and it will save you a lot of time.

wow, commented on the wrong post in the wrong tab. delete me, or ignore me, please :)

I think it's very good, nice talking, nice presentation!
Those alternate datasources are actually very strange i think :p but they might be usefull sometimes :)

And shouldn't you be studying in stead of making blogcasts? ;)
Just kidding.

Well keep up the good work, i hope you will make some more blogcasts in the future.

Greets

I'm only 47% nerd :p!

I'm neoNerd (still defining that, and no... nothing to do with the Matrix)

Somehow I've only managed to get 40 - Lightly nerd. Not quite sure how. That's good, right? :p

cool

where can I buy it :-)

no serious, this could be a huge succes, cause most of the dummy users hate to give those passwords, logons, etc...
me well, kinda used to it so to give in a pass or to not give in a pass really just takes a second two type it in. But what I do think is that it'll be harder to hack those passwords cuz you aint got any :-).
You could begin to think in 007 style with special techniques so you can hack in those systems but that's kinda futurustic isn't it ;-)?
Any way can't wait to test it!

nice stuff!
i would want one too, then i don't have to type my password everytime i want to log in at a website or at windows :)
that would save me a second or 2 :p

hmm, i think the only difficulty to hack it, is that you have to obtain the code of the fingerprint. As far as i think the fingerprint will somehow be turned into a unique code, and it checks if the code is identically. Well if you can manipulate the input and get hold of the person's fingerprintcode, you can hack it.

no FF suport => kill it :p
nah joking :p
think it's a cool gadget, but i can do without right now.

Maby if I'm gray and old, my child will buy me one, cause i won't be able to handle pc's :)

It's a very nice piece of hardware. I also had the change to test it and i loved it. To bad i had to give it back

Nice post, but your own search doesn't work - at least in FireFox.

Works awesome.

Also note that I changed the google url to .COM instead of .BE for the standard English site.

Thanks.

Awesome, added it to my blog too :) Thanks for sharing!

Heather: for MSN it will be
search.msn.com instead of www.google.com and
search.yahoo.com for yahoo

David, some enhancements:
you should use escape(oInput.value), since your search will not work for queries like c# or alike and you can use window.open instead of top.location, it would be better I think

Anatoly...I tried that and it still searched in google..which I thought was really weird. I pasted it into the same place (static news). Is there something I should insert between them? I don't know why it would still search google even after I put MSN in there.

Here's what I used (Sorry David for clogging up your comments section):

<h3>Search my Blog Using MSN</h3>
<input class="BlogSearch" type="text" name="searchBox" id="blogSearchText" value="" onkeypress="return blogSearch(event, this);">
<input type="button" value="Search" onclick="return blogSearch2('blogSearchText');" class="BlogSearchButton">
<script type="text/javascript">

function blogSearch(event, oInput) {
var keyCode = (event) ? event.keyCode : keyStroke.which;
if (keyCode == 13) {
top.location = 'http://www.search.msn.com/search?q=">http://www.search.msn.com/search?q=' + oInput.value + '+inurl%3heatherleigh+%3Aweblogs.asp.net';
return false;
} return true;
}

function blogSearch2(oInputId) {
var oInput = document.getElementById(oInputId);
top.location = 'http://www.search.msn.com/search?q=">http://www.search.msn.com/search?q=' + oInput.value + '+inurl%3Aheatherleigh+%3Aweblogs.asp.net';
return false;
}
</script>


Is there something I should change? I can't believe I am asking for coding advice..I might have to bookmark this!

No idea if I can say this, but Scott promised me last weeks of december that in january a new version of .Text would be released.

But a few days ago I got an email that it's gonna be "next couple of weeks" for the release! :)

You rock man! Thanks!

nice going, rock star ;)

David - Thanks for taking the time to write this. Very, very, very useful and helpful!!

Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence that is 18 years old :p
(didn't do the other tests)

yeah, thats me :)

Great! Thanks, that was elucidating.

And I'm a number 7

Happy and chearfull, multi talented and succesfull!
I'm not open...

well they can't always be right :p

I took the google search off of my site. Geez -- all they had to do was ask in a piece of mail. Threats and demands? Forget it....

Thanks for the heads up, in any case.

David,

Thanks for the info. Just to make it clear, I wasn't complaining per se (as it's indeed up to me as the user of Google to read over their terms...but who has time to do that ;-)), it's just a PITA to have been dropped from the index. I've put an email into Google to try and get some more insite as to exactly what happened, I'll share whatever info I get from them with you if you'd like.

By the time I realized I needed to include the Google logo, it was already too late and that's where I get a little peeved...I wish I had enough information going in before using your code to know that I mighta been dropped. But hey, it's not the end of the world right? Just consider me a beta tester!

cheers
jayson

Thanks posting the notice. I remove the search boxes and will look to a built in search instead.

It is scary how powerful a company like Google can be when they have control of so much of the web, that is the power to send people or not...

Thanks again!

What I find interesting is that you are blogging from a Microsoft owned domain they use for developers to blog from, mostly employees, but not all, as you are not an MS employee, Microsoft who is rightfully very touchy about people breaking their TOS or their EULAS and you are recommending to people that they go ahead and break Googles TOS.

Are there *any* fingerprint reader out there right now that supports Firefox?

For that matter are there any reader/password software that's hack proof?

I think I 'll go with you, seems nice

But then again, how many blind *and* deaf people are actually using a computer? I don't personally know of any easy way to do so.

What about a small comprehension question... in slang? Maybe something like:

"sup dude! listen, if ur broke and i give u 10 greens, how much u've got then?"

Actually, forget slang, maybe just comprehension question that can't possibly be understood by a machine. It can be related to a culture, common sense or simple human logic. It's an old idea, but it can be put into actual use, don't you think?

Rami, then you are excluding stupid people.

Ooops, missed that :) Maybe those should be banned from logging in altogther though....

Well,

concerning blind people ... one of the rules oen has to follow to keep a website "blind surfer friendly" is providing alt text info for every image or other media objects on a website.

CAPTCHA is just another one of those objects, but ... it's not easy to solve ... giving it an alt text property makes is readable for non humans again I guess ...
Sound is indeed not for everyone a solution ... there are devices that transform text into braille ... so that wouldn't work either.

But I think we might say that blind AND deaf people surfing with those braille devices indeed are a very small minority, and very aware of the limitations of their system.

But when you target those kind of people I guess you have to take the risk of spamming and NOT use things like CAPTCHA.

Community Evening @ Developer

David, your translation seems to be in an incorrect language. Hope this helps.

I also have a Logical-Mathematical Intelligence, and have nr. 6 in the number test (loyal, ...) :) But in the last test I would be 26 years old.. well, still 8 more years to go :p

David it was a nice talk.
No reason to be nervous, with only slies nothing can go wrong.

Are you gona post the slides?

Mayb just one tip, do the demo's in the slides.
Now you had one or 2 slides with the demo explained, I think it would be better if you would ave had 5 slides with screenshots of the demo's.

I knew about datastreams, I just did not know it was that easy (with a dir > ) to create it.

Maybe explain also a little more that this is a favorite technique of virusses. (With some examples...)

But hey a great 3 minutes ;-)

y

can't wait for the report on all the goodies you got this year!

sorry i couldn't be at your speach :)

no pics this year?

i'm looking forward to more comment of you about these developer days!

you're the best!

Yeah, come on...
more info pleas!

Hi. I've tried the fingerprint reader and the one thing I dislike about it is that it can only register a single user's fingerprint on a single xp account. you can't register fingerprints for more than one user on one win xp account. is there any way that i can fix this? for example, i logged into my yahoo mail account with my fingerprint and then i logged out. i would like my friend to log in to the same browser that i am using to access his yahoo mail but when he presses his finger on the reader, win xp would automatically exit my win xp account and logs into HIS win xp account where he registered his fingerprints. anyone out there who thinks this problem can be solved?

i've got this little gadget, and it supports firefox just fine. works with any windows application that has a password field, actually (with the exception of logging in to terminal services). i'm just sort of bummed that it doesn't work to fill in forms that don't have a password field.

You must be high. Unless they've decided to update the software it most certainly does NOT work with FireFox. It acts like it does, but it will not insert the password when you attempt to login to a page with it in FireFox.

how many ppl can use e finger print at 1 computer ?



thanks!

I recall implementing the A* in LISP for a grad course in AI - it helped a mouse find cheese in a maze..
:-)

hey, lloking good :)
sounded really intresting...
to bad i wasn't there

Great stuff - Hope you have a great time during your internship :)

You can adjust the heap so the root element is element 0 fairly easily- the children of element i are elements (2*i)+1 and (2*i)+2, and the parent of element i is element (i-1)/2. The explanation is easier to understand if you use 1-based arrays, but it still works with 0-based arrays.

Also note that you are about halfway through (and past the difficult part) of understanding how heapsort works.

"Thanks to the parent information of each node it is possible to reconstruct the shortest path from start to end."

shouldn't that be from end to start :p

Great tutorial!

again a nice tutorial!

only half way? Damn, I'm only halfway understading this one :)

There's also a button (last one) that says "WordClean" which should remove this bogus stuff. Might wanna give it a try.

you wearing glasses now???

Grats on getting an internship.
Maybe it was the search code that did it. ;) Good luck anyway.

Nice blog! Some comments on A*:

When you use an admissible heuristic (in your example, the Manhattan distance is probably best), you end up with an interesting situation that you can use for optimization:

At every step you are removing the node with the best F value and inserting new nodes. What are their F values? They have an F value which is the original F minus the change in H from the old node to the new plus the cost of moving one node. An admissible heuristic underestimates, so the change in H has to be no greater than the cost of moving one node.

Therefore F never decreases.

Furthermore, the most F can decrease is bounded by the movement cost + maximum change in H between adjacent nodes. Let's call the bound B.

So you have a queue where you're pulling out the best one (where F=F0) and you're pushing on new nodes that are at most B worse (F<=F0 + B).

That means the priority queue (which you have implemented with a binary heap) only has to handle F values from F0 to F0+B. You can do this with buckets, and it can be faster than a priority queue. Neat, eh? (This is similar to radix sort being faster than quicksort -- you can take advantage of your data.)

In practice (especially in games), you may not have an admissible heuristic, and F may decrease. If F is decreasing most of the time, then you may be better off with a sorted linked list. Insertions are fast because they're mostly at the head of the list; removals are fast because they're always at the head of the list. Another trick is to avoid sorting until necessary (keep a sorted or heap structure for the "good" nodes and an unsorted structure for the "bad" nodes, and when you run out of "good" nodes, you sort the bad ones and move the best ones into the good structure).

Oliver Sturm's weblog &raquo; David Cumps on boxing/unboxing

Is Reflector really using Reflection? To me some of this stuff looks like it can't be done with the System.Reflection namespace?

Correction: I wrote above, "Furthermore, the most F can decrease is ....." when I meant to say "Furthermore, the most F can *increase* is .....".

shouldn't there be a link to Nsurvey from that site :p

I see you are doing good :)
very good

keep it up!

loking good!

But i would place a light gray (maby a bit translucent) behind the result string. Not the jukky white border you have now :p

now make it 3D!
get your geometry from under the dust :p

for 3d effect, add...
pie.Explosion=8;
pie.Shadow.Visible=true;
pie.Shadow.Color=Color.LightGray;
pie.Shadow.OffsetY=5;

I've just started using VPC and it's nice to have. However I'm wondering how to handle Windows XP activation for my virtual instances. It looks like I either have to activate a virtual PC (a waste of a license), or re-install the image every 60 days.

It takes hours to install XP and get it updated with service packs. I'm not smart enough to do a merge install thingy with SP2 already installed.

I have MSDN universal, maybe the next set of disks will have XP ISO images with SP2 already installed..

I'm using VPC for a while now. And I found it a great program just for the same reasons you mention in your article. And Brad, just create one VPC image. Activate your license. And then copy this image each time you want to use your VPC to test some program. Then you only have to activate your VPC XP only once and use it many times. That's one of the advantages of VPC.

I will be doing an internship at MS as well, see you this summer.

Post the improved pie chart image.

i knew that, and i did it...
should do it again maby :p

excuse me, where can i get it?


It's a good tool to test ,or to debug.

Maybe i should install win98,win2K,winXP and so on.So i can test my application on my own computer.

^_^

wohoo!
even less work for us in the future :)

I'd love to hear more on this topic! For example, how does it play with auto-updates by windows? Does this mean the base image is then "locked" from changes? Or would changes just break the child images? Also, can I use an existing image as a base, and just work from there?

i have the same question here...
what if you update the parent images?

It would probably be helpful to talk about how you set that up in VPC.

Virtual PC Base Image technique

Thanks for writing this up!

I do have a question: For the situation where you have a network share of base images, do the consumers' hardware all need to match the machine which originally created the base images?

Hi

I would like to know to how

did you build the matrix question

and how you display it

Thanks
Shay

have u done the 3d effect?
That would be interesting to have.

Thats a good idea but after adding the ORDER BY TITLE to the SProcedure how did u print out the date?
Can you please explain more?
Thanks

Does this still play nice with 'undo disks'?

I.e. can you have 3 levels, like this:
1 read only base image
2 local diff to the base image
3 undo disk for this sessions changes

or is this just a different way virtual pc uses the possibility to have one disk that contains diffs against one other disk?

In fact, what version of virtual pc are you talking about, mine doesn't seem to have this option...

Thanks David for the version info, that is my version too and looking a little further I just found the option.

this is indeed verry usefull!

I can't wait to have mine!

why does it have to be initiated within 30 sec?

AND! doesn't your solution give a problem if you restart the service?

what is actually the difference between a singleton type and the solution "instantiate a new object when the service started".

Isn't that the same thing?

no questions here :p

I have several questions about this:

1. Did you use events in the remote obejct to let the service know that the client wanted it to change state?

2. Can you use the same object to reflect state (ie pass current state information back to the client)?

3. If you wanted to expose more than one remote class do you have to use a different Channel for each or can you publish them on the same channel?

4. Would you mind showing your complete source code?

Thanks for the help

This is the first time I saw the GUI for Enterprise Library. I have to get it running.

heh - very strange! And why is it called a "Partner Pack" anyway, considering Microsoft are listing their own utilities there too....?

So much for surfing the net anonymously :/

Is windows service synchronous or asyncrouns? I am thinking of writing service to handle to incoming files and do some stuff. The question do I need to write code specifically to handle these files asyncrounsly by writng multiple dll for each specific jobs and then call them within service call them using multithread or asyncrouns?

Hope we will win VG together :p

Although trivial in this case, make sure "this.LoadConfiguration" is thread-safe.

What you will find is that after you have written like about a hundred of these types of dals, is that the task is very repetitive, and coming up with suitable method names (besides the very simple ones) becomes non trivial. Although switching backends is often called a "business edge", I doubt many sizeable (real) projects either achieve nor require this.

I've been very glad to meet you
Joel

I don't understand why anyone would want to write this kind of code when there are several very good (free and non-free) data mapping tools available.

Apart from that, why go through the trouble of making your data layer provider-agnostic when you do things like hardcode column ordinals? What's more likely - changing your database or changing your schema?

Seriously, IMHO this kind of code is obsolete.

Jim

Hey nice done!

btw: nice gesture ZogStriP giving a PDA away :)

Didn't they include that to be compatible with the MAC file system...
If so, te apple adepts wiill have a "again redmond copy's" frenzy :p

hey hey, nice :)
If you ever lose your PDA, the "honest" finder will have a lot of fun trying to update it :p

A couple of points, if you want them:
1. Although your implementation of InvokeRequired is correct, if you just use Control.Invoke always without checking you'll probably find it is as fast.
2. More importantly, unless I am missing something, you are very lucky with your progressbar updating. You are doing that straight from the Threading.Timer callback which *is* on a different thread. You should use Control.Invoke there as well.

Two words: Guild Wars

Well, I've got some friends who bought it the day it came out... And from what I can tell there are often big problems with the servers. Sometimes only the login server doesn't work :-/

I bought it a month or so after it was released and I've never had a problem with either the game or the site when I've logged on.

That's not to say I don't believe the reports of problems. Just that not every experience with the game is a negative one.

Hehehehe...

I know people are having problems and yes, the game does sometime not allow you to login or anything. Last week or so, the airco of the room the servers were in, failed and they had to emergency shutdown a lot of servers. Even of the servers that weren't down, some you could not login to. So LOADS of people login to a server they can login to, and then create a new character. I did the same with a friend of mine and we now both have a level 10 rogue on Bloodhoof. Maybe we'll play it when our own server is down again! ;-)

What questions me the most about MMORPG, is the way they are developped. For some reason, some bugs that are to me, as a developer, very minor bugs cannot be just solved in the game. So while they are known and can be large exploits, they stay in the game for months.

Example. When you'd create a speeder in Star Wars Galaxies in your house, you'd get an error that you cannot pull it out in your house. Oh, by the way, the access set to the house had to be private, so others could not enter your house. Then when you'd pull it out again, it had over 1000% more health/durability! This was in the system for months and could not be monitored or fixed by Sony Online Entertainment.

Another one. For offensive name (SMEG) our guild was disbanded. Our guildleader was also called SMEG. He was a second character of someone. He was given a new name. Because of the name change, the player could not access any items that were his. Normally, you'd have a primary key for every player and item. But strange enough not in Star Wars Galaxies.

In WoW I have noticed simuler things. Kinda odd, if you ask me.

I certainly enjoy playing the game though.

I'm on server Arathor (european) and am known under the names Compile (priest) and Sharien (warlock).

Hehe, this is what you get when you create a game and are not prepared for the gigantic succes it will be :p

lolz to Sjonnie :p wonder how long it wil take David to undo your FF remark :)

Another very nice tool was DebugView. This is a tool from Sysinternals that enables you to monitor all debug messages on your system. This allows you to have the following in your code: Debug.Write("This is written trough System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write."); Trace.Write("This is...

Blizzard suspended my son's account because the 6 month service charge was disputed by the credit card holder. Evidently when he signed up, they charged someone elses credit card and of course that person disputed the charge. My son's account was NEVER charged! The bozos at customer service refuse to do anything. I can't get anyone to resolve the billing error.

It's a brilliant game, as long as you can play it. I can even understand Blizzard having problems coping with the (not so) unexpected huge number of players.

What I absolutely do not understand is why Blizzard cannot communicate with their PAYING customers about these problems. Why not have constant 'status' information on the first page of the homepage? Why not have a 'status' blog telling us 'live' what is going on instead of a couple of hours after the fact via the forums.

Basically, they suck bigtime at communication and it generates a lot of negative feelings about an otherwise great product.

Ya ok so WOW has problems from time to time. I have been playing since release and I still think this is the best MMORG ever made.

hey... how do I get a free cd-key ?

u can't get it, u need to buy the game. ^^^^^plx help me there

Been waiting all week to play WoW tonite... and what happens? Can't log in and the european site is totally wiped out... So furious right now...

On Reply to Dave, Sometimes the Servers act up, hence the problems your having, and the problems others are not. We at blizzard are trying to fix these problems (along with all the complaints of other glitches) and return you to your gaming experience. We are deeply sorry for the problems, hoping that we can fix these and not lose any fans.

i want to play on the US servers but it wont let me how can i change this

I have a problem when i start the game i get an error that tells me to install direct X 9.0 c !!!!!!!!!!!!
What do y do ???

Hi David I see you'll be blogging again. Have a nice go! bye bye kurt

Maybe download and install Direct x ?

Blogging again I see? You have a old reader back then ;)

This sounds like my dream job ;) Nah :p Have fun there!

If I had time (and a Windows OS) I might give it a tried as well... But I'm trying to reduce my PC oriented time :p If you ever need a good game concept... I got one laying around, think mass multiplayer and heavy physics... Guess it'll be out of your league for a while no :p Oh, but I also got a nice game idea about a suicidal deer :p

Heh, lol... It has been ages since I wrote any SQL... yesterday I wanted to do an INSERT; couldn't remember the syntax! Damn those frameworks :p

And yet more hacks needed to get nice designs working on both IE6&7 FF Opera and Safari... Happy times :s

I have US Box game, is it possible to play on EU servers by perhaps installing the EU updates and patches? What can I do?

A long time ago, I talked about Differencing Disks in Virtual PC. Most people just have a base imagine

Thanks for that solution David, works a treat!

Workarounds, what would the world be without them?

I like a lot about the DAAB but have issue with two aspects. The mapping from DBType to SqlDBType could do with more options. Mapping DBType.String to SqlType.VarChar doesn't feel right. Also, ExecuteDataSet expects a single table result whereas a DAL should be able to support SP's that return multiple tables...

I got this game two days ago, and when i finally install all the discs, it does not let me create an account, it says "web page error" even when i go to manage account or billing it still does not let me go on it. i cant put my pin number in or create a character. im realy sad because i was realy looking forward to this game, shame cant go on it. plz if anyone knows how to solve this problem plz reply thx

yea i went out and bout 60 day game card then went to their website... i had to enter the 10 day trial because the key on the card did not work there.... it asked me what i would like to use to pay... i was like i have to buy it to play it for free.. this doesnt make since at all and i need to know how to just make a account without having to buy a month or something just be able to enter game card key

Lol, this is cewl... I created a runbox with a Windows XP like picture, like in the winver command :D. Like it very much!

You are not billed i used a 10 day trial of course it wont accept my credit card.. Its supposively invalid but anyways it really dont bill you trust me i know..

PingBack from http://little.xmtp.net/blog/2006/10/30/dumping-stored-procedures-using-boo/

That worked, thanks.

First a stupid question, what do you mean with locking and unlocking the host computer (alt - enter twice?)?

Secondly, the problem I have is that sometimes indeed I get the message when going to the VPC environment that the Ctrl keys has been hold so if you want to start in save mode or not.

Thirdly, the biggest problem is that when typing or the keyboard isn't functioning (solved by 5 times pressing Shift and clicking cancel or OK for the StikyKeys message) OR the keyboard does react but with pressing 1 time typing 2 to 3 times! Very anoying and impossible to work with. How can I solve this. Please save my life...

Note, I don't have a keyboard with altgr and use alt enter to go to the VPC...

Thanx & regards,

Roger

Hi guys. i was just searching around the google for cracked "things" about wow and i got to this site. i had a problem too with wow. i bought the game about a year ago but i was using it from an internet cafe. recently i cinnected my computer with the internet but i remembered that i had thrown away the case of the game, so i dont have the s.n. i e-mailed blizzard about that and they replied me that they weren't responsible for what happened. i mean, ok, you are not responsible, but you can at least gimme a s.n. or do something. anyway. i had 2 players of 60 lvl and now i havent played for about 3 months. i am VERY VERY dissapointed with blizzard and i decided to quit the game at all. BLIZZARD HEAR THIS: YOU'VE LOST 2 CHARS FROM ME!!

i have a iPAQ HP rx 1950 pocket with italian language. i would like to change this language with english. Until this moment nobody was unable to help me with a good point ore somme softwere, so that's why i write my poblem on this page. I hope somebody knoes sommething about this and can help me. Thanks

Nice Example, Thanks !!

how about a linux host like dreamhost for the wiki / subversion etc.

watch for special price codes around the web for that one, but if you want a server in the sky with lots of space and backup space that's probably the one to go for.

Seriously, why would anyone even consider going for the super-bloatware like Windows Blinds when you can do it with uxteme.dll patching as easily and much more efficiently.

Just discovered this by accident but another way to get some themes to use with your hacked uxtheme.dll is to install the demo of StyleXP them remove it.

If you look at the Appearance tab under Display Properties then check the Windows and buttons dropdown it seems to leave all it's themes behind, including a decent Mac-alike thing and the various flavours of Watercolor.

I don't know if it's relevant but I was using the Watercolor theme when I uninstalled StyleXP.

rx 1950

lol, i have exactly the same prob, the only thing is that mine is in portuguese.

mmm thats a bit true because today my friend give me the guest-account card and it doesnt worked but ill try to buy the game because its good and it worked the registration to my friend

Awesome Cheers David, worked like a charm.

After entering the guest card key you still have to say with which creditcard you want to pay and for howmany months.

My Account was hacked around mid december.

I reported this and provided all the info they asked me for, then they asked again, then again and so now many weeks later after them receiving the info several times I've still heard nothing back from them and still can't access my account.

3 level 60's ,1 tier 2.5 epic, 2 years worth of playing up the spout!

They take weeks to respond to emails, they're service sucks, but the game I realy enjoyed.

They're service and security manangement is a disgrace when you consider the money the corperations turning over every month!

just bought wow, oh my god what a mistake, i dont have a credit card, and did not know i needed to pay for future months access, the game does come with 1 month and as a FPS gamer thought id see what all the fuss is about. clearly not worth it !

Hello,

Does anyone know how to take an existing set of Ghost images (I have 6 in a single set total 11.5GB in size) and deploy that set to a virtual hard drive?  Everything I have tried so far has failed.  I tried putting 2 images on a DVD and that failed I even tried the microsoft knowledgebase article 824547 and that failed because it wasn't for the version of Virtual pc I have (2004) or the version of Ghost I'm using (8.2 Enterprise.)

Thanks

Yep nice, just locked it ctrl + L, unlocked..

Lock/unlock works - Thanks!! I have been ranting for hours.

Thanks, cause it works in VS2005. Yay!

So..... is any solution about change the hp 3950 from german to englis??

thanks alot

If you come across this looking to color code php in VS2005 there's a simpler way.

Go to Tools>Options>Text Editor

Type 'php' into the 'Extension:',  change 'Editor:' to 'HTML Editor' then click Add then OK.

Open a php file and it will be color coded.

Thanks for the article. I have a quick question: if I have both outlook and outlook express running on the machine, how do I tell the program to use outlook express instead of outlook?

Thanks,

I bout WOW today and I created my account and paid with a credit card and all that junk right. Then I went to log in and it said I didn't exist......I've been trying for hours and still...no play. Do I have to wait awhile for my account to be activated or what?

i just bought the game today goodie for me, or not. it says that my keys that came with the game are already being used... so maybe i have to buy it all over again but the good news is, that if someone got my keys then they must have a key generator, not that im going to find my own justice with it...

i bought wow yesterday and created my account but when i go to login it keeps sending me to some downloader thng. How do logon without going through that????????

what if your family doesn't have a credit card!!

I need sample RPG400, RPGILE programs pdf. You have any idea about this i mean say any sites or you collected some programs folder....let me know i will check that programs for my better capabilities.

A have a question how to set a permission on a local printer.

I have tried with:

  GetSecurityInfo(ptrPrinter, SE_OBJECT_TYPE.SE_PRINTER, SECURITY_INFORMATION.DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION)

and when I tried to save all the thing with

  SetSecurityInfo(ptrPrinter, SE_OBJECT_TYPE.SE_PRINTER, SECURITY_INFORMATION.UNPROTECTED_DACL_SECURITY_INFORMATION);

I got an error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What have I done wrong.

PingBack from http://blogs.dotninjas.dk/pandasan/archive/2007/02/22/1687.aspx

Blizzard does have "game cards" available, so the whole credit card argument is moot.

However, I cannot log in to my main server, and I cannot log into the service part of the site. So I petitioned a GM, all he said was "you seem to have deeper connection issues, we can't help you anymore. Have fun on WoW!"

Yeah, have tons of fun when I can't play on my main. <_<

dat was great!.... I have downloaded an Installer for XP actually named crystal xp edition but hate the run dialog box that goes with it.. it was pre-customized... now I was able to change it wid mine! thanks for that!

It is going on 2 weeks and not a word. And I have 6 month subscription. Their response to me was that it was not their fault that my account was compromised...Have a nice day on WOW! Yeah right..I won't be renewing my subscription after 3 years of play

Hi,

I have used your code to set "mofify permissions" to a folder for a specific user.

hey, is it true that writing incorrect(let's say that accidentally) code will mess up my pda forever?

yea i got wow but i didnt get the the 60 day card so when i went to use the 10 day card it said put ur credit card in..... and i dont have one.... and im not gonna be able to go to game stop anytime soon to be able to get one. so im totaly screwed... and you would think you could send checks or money orders to them or somethin but no only credit cards. stupid blizzard

NOT EVERYONE HAS A CREDIT CARD!!!

I used Style XP in the past and it stopped to work after a while because you have to pay for it. There were some workarounds but they were tedious and not really clean. When I saw this solution I was very happy because Watercolor is a very nice theme (my favourite!) and this provides a way to use it without much hassle or costs. Also I'm quite certain WindowBlinds and programs like that either modify system files also or otherwise disrupt the 'normal' working of the OS so I guess this is 'cleaner' than WB as you don't have to run an extra program.

ok here  i need someone to tell me what i should do. when i go to login it says disconnected from server.. i have never played the game. i can never get on. i turned off firewalls and still nothing can anyone help me?

yeah i havent played wow for sometime and i forgot my password and secret answer so i know my cd key wont work but if i use prepaid will it create an account for me

please email me at darth_vadar1919@yahoo.com

to reply or leave reply here

I got 14 day free trail from buying Diablo 2 battle chest and went to make a account and the closest i got is when i put my credit card info in there and i submitted it, it said "Requested file not found" with some stupid ogre beside it scratching his head! grrr...

yeah,   blizzard really sux.   me and my g/f both had an account and two weeks apart our accounts got compromised.  the bad thing was is the service we got.  we have to email and fax and bla bla bla.  geez im 36 years old,  not a grandmother that wants to deal with a company that ONLY has email support for a major problem like this.   my opinion what blizzard has proven to me is......its a kids game,  ran by a company full of kids that dont have a clue how to help or make happy a customer.  i cant wait for the day i see the company close.  they shouldnt even be in california,   they need to be in a third world country,  because its a third world company.     the game was fun,   but ill be damned if im going to be apart of a company that cant help me on the spot.   one thing to note,   all the people who get thier accounts compromised,  are all innocent.  yet we get our accounts suspeneded for 72 hours and nothing happens to the hackers.   blizzard was a hackers dream come true.

oh yeah,   check this out,    dont you love it when blizzard tells you there company is 100% secure so its all your fault.   my proof as a kids company.   only a moron would say anything is 100% secure.   banks dont even say that.

The thing is, I currently live in Hong Kong, they sell the US version of WoW, as well as the US game cards. After selling you this, you discover that using a HK IP address, precludes you from creating an account! No account = no game!

Why not use new() instead?  Is there some reason you had to use reflection?

Change your public class declaration to:

public class Singleton<T> where T :class, new()

then change your _instance instantiation to:

private static readonly T _instance = new T();

Hi David,

what about my solution?

public abstract class Singleton<T> where T : class, new()

{

   protected Singleton() { }

   private static readonly object _sync = new object();

   private static T _instance;

   public static T Instance

   {

       get

       {

           if (_instance == null)

           {

               lock (_sync)

               {

                   if (_instance == null)

                       _instance = new T();

               }

           }

           return _instance;

       }

   }

}

// usage sample:

public class MyClass : Singleton<MyClass>

{

   protected MyClass() {}

   // ...

}

Let me know!

Oups.... pls, remove my previous comment: it's sooooooooo bad!

1) double-check locking is outdated :-)

2) : where new() and protected paremeterless constructor???

Maybe i was drunk!!!

Sorry.

I figured I was missing some basic component of what you were trying to accomplish.   Makes perfect sense now.

Ah - good point. Sorry I missed that.

Hey friend. ;-)

Let's do a Blog tag, the time is right.

Tag who you want, ask us/them to tell at least 5 things.

 Salute,

You could visit the local (or nearest) Microsoft User Group. You should be able to meet a bunch of like-minded (relative to you) people :-)

I would like to add you in my messager list!!

That is great that you are looking for friends. But maybe you should try to come down and interact with normal people who are not geeks ;-)?

I don't see anything wrong in going out and having a pint of good Belgium beer ;)!

Install Linux, you will find plenty of pinguin.. geeks..

Also, that book comes with quite good exam preparation tool that gives you good idea, how the tests work.

Btw, I think the 70-536 is the hardest .NET exam when pursuing for a certification. It is so full of unrelated things that you have to learn by heart.

I left it as the last exam and did the simpler ones first (web forms, winforms, distributed etc). Good thing is that after you pass that 70-536, the rest should feel easy :)

Anyway, good luck! :)

Good reference tool.  Thanks!
