Not to stress I gave Google a go before actually posting the Question , but most info is very vague. I did some reseach on how this is implemented using other languages and once I have my bearings I will create an article on codeproject L Viljoen Technical Lead / Architect .NET, Unity, C++

This is precisely why I am no longer investing in or currently developing software with Microsoft technologies. I still use PowerPoint 2003 a lot because I like the ease of use of the spline feature in graphics. Still, I'm a part-time/amateur developer with my own business/hobby so I can afford to be choosey! I appreciate that it may meet the needs of many, but it doesn't seem to meet mine. I seem to be going down the C++, PHP, JS route. I do find this a little sad, because I once placed my hopes in .NET, but it has disappointed me.

Yet it is limited by the constraints of the physical universe both in terms of physics, complexity and the abilities of the human mind (which is just a subset of the complexity problem.) True and as our technology grows so does the understanding of the limitations of such technology but keeping in mind that that the understanding of such limitation is only bound by what we know today (here I go looping again) but lets go back 200 years prior to the invention of radio , invisible waves carrying signals and voice across huge distances would have sounded absurd , what we are tinkering with today in terms of the edge of physics might become as laughable as the first experiments on static electricity 600 BC when the use of metal was limited to tools and weapons. Yes when you look at the robots of today and those bulky monstrosities they put together as a "robot that washes dishes" it does not look encouraging but remember even the 1 GHz quad core smartphone we carry in our pockets had humble beginnings Sure I believe one day we will push the maximum out of everything we have and know everything about sub atomic particles but for now I look to the future with great optimism and expectation and like the sailors back in the day careful that we dont fall off the edge of the world Chona1171 Web Developer (C#), Silverlight

You were on the right track though, 20 lines of code later it still needs a text query :) so dig into database or guess the fields. It did help thanks Chona1171 Web Developer (C#), Silverlight

This is not the place for this sort of rant. Either use the Lounge[^], or one of Microsoft's own websites. Veni, vidi, abiit domum

MVC is robust, and well known. The Microsoft implementation isn't - not even close!!! (I tell you a secret - I wrote according MVC 25 years ago in COBOL. No web then!) I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

Mostly because it implies something that the software doesn't really do (can't name names here :))... but they won't listen. What do I know, I've only been working in this field for about ten years....just a rookie... :rolleyes:

are you using IIS or IISExpress ? plz update

Can anyone please let me know what can be done ? When I go to FB, it shows a SSL-prefix. You could verify it's certificate - would be hard to spoof that :) Bastard Programmer from Hell :suss: if you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

Valid points, however that same enterprise enviroment also includes mobiles and are as likely to treat these mobile computing devices in the same manner. all the security companies are looking at the handheld market as a growth area (desktop/server/laptop market is pretty static) whilst I do not claim that it will overtake windows I certainly would not be supprised if it did it is not just the imerging market of mobiles, windows is under threat from other OS's and cloud services in addition the OP does not state the company being refered to, if this is one of the smaller firms then it can well be the case that between the growth of android and the ever pressing pressure of the big players this particular company may find it being the case You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

I agree, for the most part it is kind of overkill. For example, our version control is password protected, but you could just walk in (door's not locked most of the time), take a hard drive from a computer, pop it in another computer and get access to almost current code as everyone has the code checked out anyways. (Though, this stops you from committing as someone else, which is probably a good thing.) But besides access to proprietary code, having access to my account won't give you anything of real value...worst you could do is send some emails as me, or submit a bug to the bug tracker (so dangerous! ;P ). So I really don't see a point in having that much security on my account. What makes this more annoying is just trying to think of a password that is complex enough to meet requirements, while still being able to remember it, so I don't lock myself out of my account from too many wrong passwords. :doh:

Could you repeat the question?

Under which patent, are you from Apple ? My design , spec and mechanisms is out of my own design. Thus far there has been plenty military and indy application of an idea of your prior art / idea. Check it: http://www.paintballsentry.com/[^] http://letsmakerobots.com/node/22279[^] http://hackaday.com/2009/06/26/automated-paintball-sentry/[^] http://hackedgadgets.com/2009/04/12/paintball-sentry-multiple-enemy-tracking/[^] And lets not forget those time old classic games that implement some manner of "your" prior art Half Life Portal Every single tower defense game. ect ... ect.... So for your request , no thank you Chona1171 Web Developer (C#), Silverlight

It certainly does. Henry Minute Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus!

Chona1171 wrote: You see you still have to configure the endpoint address the client has to look for, and as I have a pretty general piece of software here, i want end users to be able to install it on their business network without having to answer millions of support calls. Presumably by "configure" you are referring to things like 'closeTimeou', etc. There are two possibilities 1. You are creating a library 2. You are creating an application. For 2 most configuration values should not be configurable per install because most of them are related specifically to the business functionality. There might be some values, like 'listenBacklog' that you might hypothetically consider relevant how the solution for that is easy. Provide a default and provide a way to override it if it should come up. Via that methodology then the UDP server posts the modifications. There is of course nothing that says the UDP can't post the entire config although there is two problems with that. 1. An application that presumes that all values are configurable is probably just ignoring what the application does. 2. The client config isn't the same as the server config anyways. If a library then the the target customers are not business users, instead it is developers.

The main problem I've seen with Oracle is the licensing scheme. Where I am now we mostly use SQL Server and that appears to be the preferred choice for the scale of project I'm working on, but I also have to connect to some Oracle and MySQL databases within the company.

Chona1171 wrote: It is completely idiotic for someone who is applying for a skilled position to be valuated by someone who most likely haven't even seen a program flowchart in his/her life, Presumably you mean in terms of skills only. In terms of salary I would expect that a recruiter would have far more knowledge about what might be reasonable both for an employee and an employer.

you mentioned that you upgraded from VS 2008 .Net 3.5 to VS 2010 .Net 4.0 and that the problem is in some COM code. Go back and check your reference assemblies. Many reference assemblies have different .dll versions for 3.5 versus 4.0. Be sure you are using the updated assembly. Good luck. Robert Tanenbaum

To be honest i haven't tried it but i will give it a go , I read an article about ti and it looks very interesting. Chona1171 Web Developer (C#), Silverlight
