I figured this was a general programming question and wanted to get opinions on the security of saving password hashes. At the moment I am saving the password hashes in the Default System32 folder in a file with a un-register extension. The has can be easily read if opened in notepad however. Right now I am debating on wether saving the hash as a Regkey would be safer or just a waste of time. Your opinions are both welcomed and wanted ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- SicherGrenzen

Thanks for the replies that I recieved. While they helped inresizing the image it wasn't really what I was looking for. I wanted the image resized then saved as the new size. The two snippets suggested simply resized the view of the image. I did, however, find this bit of code which worked nicely after I tailored it a bit. Dim syspath As String syspath = Environ("systemroot") Dim bm As New Bitmap(picLogo.Image) Dim myX As Integer Dim myY As Integer myX = Val(148) myY = Val(119) Dim thumb As New Bitmap(myX, myY) Dim g As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(thumb) g.InterpolationMode = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic g.DrawImage(bm, New Rectangle(0, 0, myX, myY), New Rectangle(0, 0, bm.Width, _ bm.Height), GraphicsUnit.Pixel) g.Dispose() thumb.Save(syspath & "\system32\oemlogo.bmp", _ System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp) bm.Dispose() thumb.Dispose() Me.Close() 'exit app If someone knows of a cleaner/smaller way of doing this feel free to suggest it ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- Spimoles.NET

What I am trying to do is take an Image (either in the picture box or a saved bitmap) and resize it to my fixed dimensions. Having some trouble with it and the snippets that I've been looking at aren't really helping. Thanks in advance ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- SicherGrenzen

Well i've been messing around with my asp guestbook and before I deploy it I want to set up checks. I'm sure we all know what happens to a guestbook that doesn't have checks set up. Anyways, in the "Name" ,form, users can still inject javascript (i.e. an annoying alert box) I've been googling for about an hour straight and havent found anything. Hopefully one of you can help me out w/ this. ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- clean and elegant. a beautiful craft

Everytime I had tried launching directly it would mess up. So I made a batch that would launch the app and used a script to launch the batch. Yes I know, it didnt have to be that complicated but that was a while back and it was a personal program. ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- Spimoles.NET

Currently I use vbscript to call/run apps and am wondering about an easier to do this. When I first started programming I was using a script that called a batch which then called an app. The script would hide the cmd prompt window but it was a huge hassel ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- Spimoles.NET

Well I want to do a sort of stat tracker for my first true project in VS.NET. It will be for a wrestling team. 13 players. about 5 or 6 categories. Data entry, Data accessing, Stat sorting.. Im planning on using a VB.NET frontend w/ an Access 2003 backend. I think it should be a fun project and ill be well acquinted with vb.net afterwards. Your input? Mind Numbing easy project? How many man hours are you estimating? Im thinking until mid September with all of the bugs worked out. Thanks for your E-ear:) ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- Spimoles.NET

**I also posted this question in........ but do to the lack of response I moved it here. I realize I may get vb-biased responses so I am debating on also posting in the C# discussion board, but don't want to come across as spamming** ..many apologies if I am beating an extremely dead horse... Well i recently migrated for VB6 a couple of months ago to VB.NET when I acquired a VS.NET Professional package. Thanks ,in part, to the outstanding responses I got about the migration. Well I havent made any serious apps in VB.NET yet. still doing alot of reading/learning..did I mention alot of reading?:) well anyways I have been doing a bit of online reading and have heard alot of bashing of VB.NET and high praise of C#. Is VB.NET really that bad? I am planning to be in the programming field for the rest of my life *awwww* and realize i need to learn more than one language. But which is a better language to pursue first VB or C#. Sorry for the long read. And many thanks from a young, humble programmer in a tremendous community. ._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.-._._._._._.-.-.-.-.- Spimoles.NET

its pretty much the source code of the infamous Michelangelo Code that turned the world upside down. Thought it was a great idea at the time, came out pretty nice looking IMO. Constructive criticism wanted Michelangelo Code....Knowledge is Powerful ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Code is a beautiful thing

I currently use VB6 and have been toying with the idea of switching to .NET I have heard the .NET was all together a better program than VB6 from some but from others I heard that it was complete rubbish and are happy they went back to VB6. Just trying to get some opinions of fellow VB6/.NET users -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Code is a beautiful thing

I have a simple little browser im working on as a past time. I have most of the basic buttons down (back,forward,stop,refresh,go,etc...) What I am trying to do is make a status bar at the bottom of the browser and here is where i have hit my road block. Does anyone know of/where i could find a sample code for it? I am completely stumped at this point:confused: Thanks -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Code is a beautiful thing
