To be honest, I dont think that is true because, I have learned web application 3 months before and now I am starting to develop apps on the cloud and if I haven't had a web knowledge, it will be very difficult to work on cloud computing. You need to have at least the basics. Any ways, thank you for your suggestion.

Hi folks, I have been developing desktop applications in C# for two years. But, after I read some about cloud computing, I was very interested in pursuing my career so that I can develop apps on the cloud. Currently I am studying my Masters in Computer Science. I have also done two web apps(one in PHP and the other in JSF).. I don't have that much experience in web development. Do you think it is possible for me to get a job so that I can develop on the cloud without having an experience in web development? Or do you recommend me to develop we apps(get a job in web development) for 2-3 years and then start working on the cloud? Please give me your personal opinion. Thank you

Come on guys. My question is how can I find a file in "C", not in "C:\someFolder"? ... on the latter case it works easily. If you have time try to run my code, it really works. But try to make the searching folder "C:\" not "C:\someFolder". Then it will through an exception. Though thank you for your help

It throws a NullPointerException I think it is because , the application may not have an access on hard drives, but it works if I search in folders which are located in those drives. Can you try it please?

In addition to the above comment, what I suggest you is that try to draw a picture in a paper while you work on Object types & references so that you will always know what you are doing and have the right picture in your mind. It is very helpful, even in Arrays and Memory Allocations

Hi guys, The aim of this code is to find a file by giving starting folder. The problem is, when I use "C:\\" directory it doesn't work, even I tried "C:" and "C" if it was the problem. I think the problem is related to some Access restriction. If I changed the starting folder, lets say, to "C:\\someFolder" it will work perfectly. How can I make the code work so that it will start searching from C drive .. Help me Thank you

Hello my friends. After thinking a lot about what to do for my Senior project, I decided to work on an application which will have, Chatting system, VOIP, File transfer, and if possible Video Conferencing. My friends and I planned to do the system for INTRANET System only. It is because we thought it will be more difficult to do it using internet. By the way, do you think broadening our scope to internet system rather than intranet system will need an agreement between the Internet Service Provider? That is what we are afraid of. If it is in intranet system, we have planned to use one Server in the network and as many as clients, so they will have static IP address and it will be easy to identify who logs in or out every time once that IP is registered on the server. But how is that implemented on internet system? We have no clue about it. Please give me some links and other suggestions to start our project. Although, we have tried to see some applications like Video Conferencing and VOIP in the code project’s articles. If there are any, please help us. Thank you.

Hello my friend. I think we got to go on the SMS banking thing. But we got one trouble before we submit our proposal. The following is the description. Please, help me if you know any thing about it. Currently, we are not using GSM modem but CDMA. Because we cant find GSM modem in our area. We also found that a lot of applications that are done using Java MIDI, that are for mobile applications. We also found a tool, Netbeans for developing our software. But there is one thing. We got an application which send and receives SMS messages. But we cant view the SMS message. It is encrypted or I dont know about it. I also found that if I use a port number for it, it will be easy. So we have also found an application which uses GSM and works on serial port. The problem is we are now using USB (the CDMA works like a flash .... it uses USB port)port not serial port. and the application is not working for us. So, if you know, please, how can use USB port to send data using this CDMA device. By the way we also used Hyperterminal on Windows 7 to work on with this application. I hopt to hear from u soon. Bye

Oh, sorry. When I mention about central server, I think I wrote the wrong idea. So, yes they do have a central server. The idea of the telephone operators sounds nice. It works in our country, once up on a time it had a problem which is fixed now (the problem was, if you take one card and when u send to the mobile operator and at the same time your friend is doing the same thing but both of you are using only on card, both of you will get the amount at the card. i.e by concurrency you faked the operator. But this time, even if I dont know they did it, the problem is fixed). About the claim, I hope I will wait may be up to 2 or 3 days for the student to take the cash. If not the amount will be transfered back to the parent's account. I think it is a good idea, isnt it? About the encryption, can you tell me the best algorithm for this one, or recommend me free book or sites to read it. Thank you Michel.

I will not use students’ ID. When I said ID it is kind of collection of strings (some from the name, from the branch, from his parents name and others, including even the date (I will have some random picking of this strings by different mechanisims which I will use as an encryption , so that the decryption will be processed by a reverse mechanism)) Even if it is long, the user , either the parents or the student will write it on paper , so that it will be neither forgotten nor easy to break. By the way students and the parents will not know the unencrypted or decrypted data. Even if they go to the bank with a fake ID, how do you think it will be stored on the system? I mean the parents didn’t sent anything and neither the bank stored that data. And I forgot to mention about deleting the transaction after it is completed (which will avoid claiming of transaction twice). It is done when the student gets his cash. It is also possible to notify the parents whether their child get the money or not. Is that makes sense? Because of the problem of technology in our country, to have a central server is unimaginable. Thank you for your response.

Hello guys. How are you doing? I am going to do my Senior Project on SMS Banking or Mobile Banking (but too limited scope). Currently in our country,none of the banks use this method,even there is no internet banking. Here is the idea how I planned to do the project with 2 of my friends. - Currently, College students who study abroad needs money to be sent from their parents every month which will cover expenses. So when the parents send the money, they will go to bank fill a bulk of forms then it will be send to a bank which is near to the student. The amount is drawn either from the parent's account or direct cash. Take the following cases in mind 1) It takes time. 2)The student is not expected to have an account. s/he is expected to have an ID only. 3)The parents might be busy to go to the bank and fill the form. Since it is a must, they should have to go to send the money. But they might be loosing something (may be their Golden time on work) So the purpose of my project is to make it fast, easy, more secured so that the money will be transfered using the parents mobile (Here there will be a mobile application which will send the data of the filled form to a central server where the parent's account is located)............... Then after authentication (Which will be more SECURED) ...... The server will send an encrypted ID (which contain a the data of the parent , the amount, the student, etc ....) to the parent's cellphone (which is encrypted). So that the Parent will send this ID to his Son/Daughter and the Son/Daughter is expected to go with this ID AND with his Student ID Show to the bank's responsible person,............. When the the responsible person get the ID , he enters in to the system ... it will be then decrypted so that the original information will be retrieved. This is the plan I wanted to do my senior project. I found that GSM modem is a must (which will act as a telephone on the server side to accept incoming SMS messages) in order to accomplish this task. I also found a software which I can write a code to the mobile application which is platform independent and I planned to use C# for authentication on the server side. If you have any idea, please help me. Thank you.

Thank you for your help man!!!! But this times not only coding is a problem but having a nice documentation is a must! We are evaluated as follows -65% Documentation -20% Coding/Implementation -15% Defense So if we have a nice documentation I hope it will be easy to do the implementation. By the way if you or any body has an idea of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ... it would be nice to hear. By the way if you have any contact would you please let me know so that I will contact you. Thank you.

Hello my friends. I am going to do a senior project and we found that Mobile banking is going to be a good project. Is it possible to do it in C# with less than 4 months? Or if you have any idea about this or if you worked on it, please help me out. Thank you

Thank you for your help. Even if your ideas is good one, I think it will be difficult for me, because in our country your problem can be solved by electrical engineers not computer programmers. I think it needs working with hardware. But our main focus is programming and it is only software. I found a new idea with my friends and it is something related to Mobile Banking System. There is no such thing in our country. If we do this, we will be the first one. Our main concern is the infrastructure will look like. 1) It is a mobile application 2) It needs a high security 3) There must be an intelligent system from the bank’s server side which will accept incoming requests and send the appropriate answer to each user. If you have any idea about this please help me out. Thank you.

Dear my friends. I am currently a 3rd year computer science student and mostly we have learned programming languages and its the time to do our senior project. 2 of my friends and me are good programmers specially in C# and all of us have a good knowledge of Database design, System design,PHP ... almost we mastered all of the subjects. But we need a better idea. If you have any idea that is either stand alone application, web application (either intranet or internet based) Please share me your ideas so we will have the best project in our batch. Thank you

Hey dude ... u've a nice idea .. but what really my question is ... if the user changed the date ... For e.g .. I installed the app 2 day and today is ..>> 3/5/2010 .. and it is saved in registry ... lets say aftr 15 days ... that is ..>>>3/20/2010 ... if the user changes the time to 3/10/2010 ...It means they faked me 10 days ... and they can do zis forever ... how can i controll this .. thx a lot

My application is only for 1 PC ... i.e there are no servers or other PC's around there ... There is no internet or cant interact with websites ... it is just for a stand alone computer

Hey my friends ... I have one application done in C# .. but i want to give it for my customers as a trial version (I want it to count from the day it installed up to 30 days) ... But if i use DateAndTime class ... I think if they change the date and time ... so that i can be faked .... can any body help me with this problem .... or how can i get the real date even if they change it ... i.e like other softwares do ... just count from the day it is installed .... Thank you a lot

what u r saying is right .... am talking about transfering data from/to the cash register .... but z printer has no driver ... but if i got the interface ... can i transfer my datas???? thnx a lot

until now wat i've in mind is zat .... it is a cash register printer by its self ... so zat u can work on it alone with out using computer ... but we wanted 2 use z cash register's printer .... until now wat i heard is that it has no driver ... but there are other companies who wrote the code .... so if u have any clue please helpp me .. thnx
