Everyday I learn something, and I like it ;-)

Some valid point on the data encryption post:

From Wes

I just finish reading an article in the November issue of MSDN Magazine.
This month is focus on security.

Well I don't pretend to be a specialist, so I learned a lot from an article on encrypted data by James McCaffrey.

I already used hashing method, what is called one-way encryption.

I didn't know that you have also a two-way method, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) based on a 256 bit key.
To say the least, surely secure enough!

James's article includes also a C# implementation. I think using it for the case I store user passwords, and I need an admin to be able to retrieve and decrypt a lost password.

Good points from ASP Emporium. The only problem is that many times we repeat the same, but for financial reason or for a very small project, SQL don't pass well.
The situation get better (in UK) regarding the hosting price with SQL but a lot has to be done for some small organizations, charities or personal use.

If you like to create tables without the tag <table>, check this site, it give you interesting ways of creating different layout by using floating boxes.

Tomáš Petrícek  did an incredible good job with his popup control.

However It was frustrating to not having a drag and drop feature. I made some changes to the code, and because I respect the job he did I am going to suggest the modifications on the CodeProject forum.

By the way I am sure he's already working on this, but if this can save him some time, I will be happy ;-)
