In my project I am using Visual Studio and SQL Server. During my project review, the reviewers asked me that "Why u preferred Visual Studio,ASP.NET and SQL Server and trying to waste money on buying them?" "Why didn't u go behing free and open source development options like using PHP/MySQL?" I could only reply with some features of Visual Studio. But I still doubt why Microsoft is selling things when the powerful PHP is free. How should I reply to the reviewing team? Please give me a good explanation.

I am developing an e-commerce site. I am confused with two payment choices. 1. Paypal and Credit Card. 2. Using a bank transaction to the merchant bank. My doubt is whether we can do a bank transaction better than paypal and credit card.? We can associate an orderID with every paypal payment and the merchant can receive emails from paypal regarding orderid and payment. Is this flexibility is available with banks? What are the problems in integrating a bank account transfer concept?

Sir, I am working on an e-commerce project using ASP.Net and C#.Net (Visual Studio 2005-Windows XP). I am facing problems in the login module. I created the login accounts using the roles and users in the ASP.Net Website Administration Tool. The login module is working fine when I test the website within the Visual Studio. I mean the login form is working properly under the Development Server integrated in the Visual Studio. What I want is to make this work properly under IIS (i.e. the Production Server). When I deployed the project to the IIS, the login form with the login control is displayed, but cannot login and gives a login failed message. I posted this problem in few forums along with the source code of the login module only. But nobody cared in downloading my source code. I have searched about this issue in Google and they are providing good tutorial links to solve this issue. Even after reading those I couldn’t solve this as I am new to Web Development. I need help from experts on this. Can you please provide me a sample source code with the web.config and also a description of the major steps in configuring IIS to support the role based login? I had gone through the following titles under google "Always set the "applicationName" property when configuring ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and other Providers" I would like you to see the following link which I tried. I think this will help you to help me. http://www.asp.net/hosting/tutorials/users-and-roles-on-the-production-website-vb Thanks in Advance.

I don't know whether I am asking a stupid thing. I can develop an application that can read emails for me and can send SMS alerts for every new mail. That application keeps on monitoring my inbox. But I want it to execute 24 hr a day. Is it possible to make an exe executing all the time online in some other online service or machine. Something like a program running in cloud(cloud computing)
