I like dotTrace Profiler[^] form JetBrains

Hello, Try 'ASP.NET - Windows authentication and local groups'[^] article.

When I studied in the university I saw one amazing thing. My friends downloaded these reports, read them and started to learn new programming languages. And they always said that this "new" language is the best. These reports are interesting, but this one looks like it was paid by Sun. :) Few weeks ago I saw the same "report" paid by Microsoft.

This is difficult to say, certification is good or not.If you will learn all materials by yourself you have very good knowledge. I think that Microsoft has very good books for exams training programs. But, for example, I'll read these books, but won't go to the special courses, because they're very expensive. What do we have now? If you want to pass an examination, you can simple download brain dumps, read them and pass exam. I think that this is very stupid idea, these guys will not have good knowledge after that. Why spend time? I can't understand. For example, I will not spend time for this, because this is stupid...

May be Regex, which compiled into assembly, but I'm not sure. It's better to test.

You can see HASP hardware keys. But if you develop .NET application, it can't help you very much, because, as I know, it's easy to decompile application and switch off security system.

Hello, I'm thinking about two solutions: 1. Try to call MS Word using late binding. 2. Ty to use Aspose.Word library

You should manage this in load event.

It looks like that Jet provider doesn't provide access to INFORMATION_SCHEMA. I found discussion about such problems. May be it'll help you.

I've used Siemens GSM modem in one project. I can send and receive messages without problems. First, you should see AT-commands manual. If you did this before, but you can't receive sms messages, it can be problem with COM port communications. Sometimes you can find information about this in the manual about AT commands for your phone. PS But I recommend you to use special GSM modems, because you will receive all needed materials in one box.

Hi, You can see tutorial here.

Hi, I think that you can use two solutions. First, you can create windows service which will do something automatically. In another way, you can create simple tool which will send e-mails and configure Windows "Schedule Task" to run it. You can send e-mails using .NET Framework. But you also can create stored procedure for SQL Server fo e-mail sending. How to do this see here. If you will do this using SQL Server only, you can run this stired procedure using osql.exe in BAT-files.

Hello, You can use Server.MapPath("App_Data\ADASurvey.dbf"); This method maps the specified relative or virtual path to the physical directory on the server.

I've started from BASIC for DOS many years ago. After that I've spend a lot of time with C and C++ developing Linux applications. This is hard job, but interesting. And after this work experience I had moved to .NET and C#. It was easy very much. I think you should start from C++ and also learn OOP/OOD. After this you will not have any problems with another languages.

Hi, 28 is an offset in bitmap file which store information about number of bits per pixel. For additional information about bitmaps format you can see Bitmap Image article.

Hello, I don't know about setup projects in Visual Studio, but I did some installers with Inno Setup tool. This tool is free and powerful. You can use Object Pascal and do all what do you want using this tool.

You can use System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping[^] to ping, is machine a live, after that you can use System.Net.Dns[^] to retrieve host name.

It doesn't show you dialog again, because you created rule (disable your application). If you removed this rule from firewall rules list, it would ask you.
