try http://www.bouncycastle.org/csharp/[^] for a free option - as with everything 'ymmv' There's a reasonably priced option if you look at Eldos OpenPGP Blackbox http://www.eldos.com/sbb/desc-pgp.php#[^] that I havnt seen fail yet (the trial download has everything, but you can license the OpenPGP Blackbox component on its own) 'g'

Good Answer, Matty. 100 :rose: Help people,so poeple can help you.

I'll be looking out for it too! :thumbsup: Dave Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier. Please take your VB.NET out of our nice case sensitive forum. Astonish us. Be exceptional. (Pete O'Hanlon) BTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)

I told you what to do the last time[^] you asked this. For the benefit of others, the component you're talking about is Flash, and I suggested that you need to use AppDomains to cope with this. I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads My blog | My articles | MoXAML PowerToys | Onyx

Pete, I'm still trying to solve this. I'm using C# .Net 1.1 (Don't ask!) on a Windows App. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jeff.

I've always ended up writing my own DAL, because of performance issues and other shortcomings of the whole DataSet stuff. Especially when the data sets are potentially huge. -- Kein Mitleid Für Die Mehrheit

Visual Assist. It is not free, but it is well worth the investment. I've made a long statement about how good it is, but then I decided to provide a simple quote instead: David Smith, Tyco Electronic: Visual Assist X has been so good I don't notice it anymore – until I use an IDE without it. Then, I wonder what's wrong with the IDE. I am currently trial-testing VS 2010 and our current version of VA no longer works with it, so I have to do without. The above quote expresses esactly how I feel! You can find this quote right on the homepage of Visual Assist/[^]

Everybody thanks for the responses. I don't need a list of task to be done. I need a way to track what I actually did. So when my boss comes in to my office and says 'Why isn't this done like the schedule said it would be?' I can say - I did this, and this, and this, .... I hate to admit it but I like the idea of a paper notebook. But I'll probably try and use the Office Notes (which I have). Jeff.

I tend to write Services using a System.Timers.Timer -- so all I really need to do each time is write an Elapsed handler.

Turns out you can use the Adobe ActiveX as long as the Reader is installed on the machine. Does everything I need. Thanks everybody. Jeff.

I looked for this about 2 years ago, and while I don't remember the specifics, there were no available products, free or for pay, that met the requirements. We ended up writing one ourselves (the only time I wrote ASP.NET). We had some very specific requirements (just like everyone else :rolleyes: ), and it has been 2 years, so ymmv. We were on a non-connected network, so the on-line (hosted by the developer) options would not work out for us. Depending on the group, you might be able to interest them in folding changes you make back into their product. That way you get what you need, and don't have to own it, and they get additional functionality without having to build it. Opacity, the new Transparency.

Here's what I use, the result is a forty-character string: public static string Hash ( string Subject ) { return ( Hash ( System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes ( Subject ) , new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA1Managed() ) ) ; } public static string Hash ( byte\[\] Subject , System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm Provider ) { System.Text.StringBuilder result = new System.Text.StringBuilder ( Provider.OutputBlockSize ) ; foreach ( byte b in Provider.ComputeHash ( Subject ) ) { result.Append ( b.ToString ( "X2" ) ) ; } return ( result.ToString() ) ; } You can choose another hash algorithm and you don't have to convert it to a string.

I think what this is suggesting is that new programmers with an enthusiasm for programming will tend to gravitate towards C#. So what you are left with is that the new programmers who learn VB.net tend to be those with less enthusiasm for programming. Yes, of course there will be some enthusiastic new programmers who will learn VB.net, but more go for C#. It's just about trends, not hard and fast rules. Simon

Thanks for your help. That worked great. Now on to my next problems: Getting/setting the proxy settings Setting the account a machine will log in as. TIA - Jeff.

I can't force it to one resolution. We are doing 16:9 so I know that will be the same no matter what. But we can have different resolutions.

I'm pretty sure you'll have problems capturing the click event if there's nothing in the flash movie raising the event externally. If you *do* have control over the content of the movie, as you suggest FSCommand can help you. Example: http://www.pdesigner.net/Flash_MX_Tutorials/16_integrating12.html[^] If you are using Flash 8 or later then a much cleaner method of communicating between flash and the hosting process is available by using the ExternalInterface. Example: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html[^]

Like I said translating to pdf and then to an image is the only way that I know of to do this easily. Another option is to programatically load the page in IE and then do a screen capture of the resulting image. If you wanted to stick with pure html/javascript, I'd create a style sheet per resolution for text size and positionining. Then use javascript to select/resize images and choose the stylesheet to load. I can imagine the sinking feeling one would have after ordering my book, only to find a laughably ridiculous theory with demented logic once the book arrives - Mark McCutcheon
