I am fine, thank! Any ideas to my question?

Hello everyone, I am using Windows Server 2003 + VSTS 2008 + .Net 3.5 + C# + ASP.Net + IIS 6.0. I host some files (wmv video file and html file) on the web server, I want to know whether there are any easy to use authentication approach to let user input username and password before they can access (I want to prevent anonymous access)? Since the web site has also aspx ASP.Net page, and I want to use an unified authentication solution for wmv, html and aspx page. If prefer any solution which utilizes username and password stored in SQL Server database which my application already has/use. Any ideas? thanks in advance, George

What is the issue in my code and differences compared with my code? regards, George

Hello everyone, My question is related to ASP classic, not ASP.Net, my question is -- whether it is good code to judge that, if a session variable is "" (Empty String), then I treat session as expired? Like this,

    if session("timeToken") = "" then
    // logics deal with session expire?

thanks in advance, George

Going there, thanks! regards, George

But Abhijit where to ask? :-)

Hello everyone, I want to do XML validation to validate whether an input XML file conforming to a schema file (.xsd). My question is when do we need to specify the target namespace parameter and what is the function of the target namespace parameter? I got this question from the following MSDN pages, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1hh8b082.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.schema.xmlschemaset.aspx More specifically, I am referring to the 1st parameter of Add method of XmlSchemaSet class. My current confusions are, please help to review whether my understanding in 1 and 2 are both correct, and help to answer question 3 and 4. 1. In the XML schema file, there is a target namespace attribute at top, and all elements defined in this XML schema file are defined in the target namespace; 2. In the XML document file to check against scheme, the XML document may use elements defined in the "target namespace" of the XML schema file, and may also use elements from other namespaces other than the "target namespace" defined in the XML schema file; 3. Question is, should we just add the "target namespace" to the Add method of XmlSchemaSet class, or add all namespaces which the XML document will use to the Add method of XmlSchemaSet class? 4. Another question is, whether we could define multiple "target namespace" in the XML schema file? If yes, how? thanks in advance, George

Hello everyone, I want to set a break point and wants it to be triggered when a piece memory (begin address and length are known) are changed. I am working on Windows Server 2003 x64 platform. Either solution in Windbg or solution in Visual Studio are fine. My purpose is to monitor when the memory content is changed. thanks in advance, George

Thanks all the same, let use wait for other gurus. regards, George

Could you recommend me some samples to start-with? Either simple or not is fine. regards, George

Hi musefan, All samples I found are too complex and it takes me much time to read and just get simple code to playback. Do you have any recommended simple samples? regards, George

Hello everyone, I want to programtically play a remote (streamed) video using C#, the purpose is to test web sites performance/stress. No need to have any GUI, just using Media Player API to playback a speific video by URL is fine. I searched for Windows Media Player API/SDK samples, but all are dealing with GUI, not what I wanted. Does anyone have any good samples to recommend? thanks in advance, George

Hello everyone, If I have a client application which needs to call a web service. I want to know the pros/cons and impact if I set default proxy property to true or false in app.config file? Thanks! Here is the property I am talking about. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kd3cf2ex.aspx regards, George

Thanks Alan, 1. I can put the exception handling to EXE level. But it is still different from your posted solution before -- you use a starter EXE to track the actual configuraiton issues in the inner EXE, correct? 2. So, do you have any ideas to let the EXE itself handle the app.config issue? 3. If you do not suggest to handle such issue, what is your point and any advice to let end user know such issues (because of configuration file format error)? regards, George

Hi Alan, I am writing a DLL, could I handle such issue inside the DLL? regards, George

Thanks Mirko1980! My code and app.config looks like this, but no exception is thrown. Any ideas?

class Program
{
    public static void MyEventHandler(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        return;
    }

    static void Main(string\[\] args)
    {
        AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain;
        currentDomain.UnhandledException += MyEventHandler;

        return;
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<configuration>

regards, George

Hi Alan! Your code works ok in a Windows forms application. But for a console application, how to handle? regards, George

Hello everyone, If the app.config format is wrong, for example, not a correct format XML file, application will fail from loading. Are there any ways to let me know such issue -- for example, receiving some events (so that I could write file log and event log to record this issue) if app.config loads error because of a mal-formatted XML file? thanks in advance, George

Thanks Xmen! Your document is good, but not directly answers my issue. Please refer to here for my specific issue. Any ideas or comments? http://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/View.aspx?fid=1649&msg=2935210[^] regards, George
