You can start Here[^]. It's really good reading on the subject of face recognition. But remember that your teacher is likely to read Codeproject too. So you either need to put a reference to the source, or rewrite it. "When did ignorance become a point of view" - Dilbert

Are your COM objects being cleaned up properly? You need to use Marshal.ReleaseComObject to release all of the resources that are allocated when using the Excel interop classes. See this[^] thread for details (code is in C# but same principal applies). r_mohd wrote: it is working very fine, but Thanks, it always makes me chuckle when people say "It works fine but . . .". If there's a but then it isn't working fine, is it? :-D :badger:

OK, I enabled the e-mail widget under this message. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

i'll try that thanks :)

Todd, i think this would be a great project to get involved with as my son is also autistic. Food for thought, my son is considered "Able Autistic" and finds the use of computers relavitely easy. what level of autism would you be targeting how? just general computer use or software education? I would love to further this with you off CP.

Use a number greater than 128 and less than 256.

thanks for the reply, in fact there were some restore points which I have done, but those are not before march. I have only some restore points which didnt affect. Abdul Rahaman Hamidy Database Developer Kabul, Afghanistan

There are way too many factors to give you a decent answer without some more details. If all you need is security for the payroll administrator then the built in fingerprint reader on lots of laptops might be OK (although not as secure as you might think). But if your requirement is not just for indentification but also a time clock system then that means an entirely different class of devices. The last biometric system I worked with was used for bus drivers to clock in and out. They had gone with a relatively cheap system and then ran into lots of issues. The hardware was not very tough, and did not stand up well to the 130 degree temperatures and exhaust fumes encountered in the bus garage. They also had problems because the fingerprint reader didn't have a good contrast range and therefore had difficulty reading a wide variety of skin tones.

There is no way to do that by editing registry keys. Your application has to be updated to expose a method whereby one instance of your app tells the first instance that it should look at a new file.

That's what I meant I didn't express myself corrrectly

Like that other person said, that's about all you can do. You cannot "convert" an app to just show up in a web app in any way. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007, 2008 But no longer in 2009...

SOA describes any architecture that allows one component to request another component to do some operation. For an example let's say that you work for an online retailer and you've been asked to write something to allow different parts of the existing software system to generate several types of sales reports - one report for the marketing department, one for the shipping department, one for the tax collectors, etc. The underlying service that the solution is oriented around here is the generation of a report. Using web services for SOA you would write a web service that has a web method that clients can call to create reports. Any client can call the method, the method creates the report and does whatever it needs to do with it. You could also use a Windows Service. All you have to do is create a way for clients to request that the service generate the report that it wants and for this any form of IPC could be used. Sockets, MSMQ, Named Pipes, .Net Remoting or WCF would all allow other clients to get a message to the service to ask it to generate a report. The basic gist of SOA is [component A -> requests a service to be performed by -> component B]. What component A and B are aren't important and neither is how A requests B to do something. What makes it SOA is the design not what technologies are used. :badger:

THANk YOU VERY MUCH..............

Take a look at controls that produce pdf reports; for instance iTextSharp or ABC.Pdf. Infargistics have a (paid for) control that will export very easily to PDF, XPS or XLS. It is also pretty easy to create a word document: there are lost fo articles on each method throughout the web.
