Yes, I agree with you

But how many can you fit in a six-foot 19" rack? :cool: Actually I would be more interested in using something like that to host a (code management system)/(version control system) that I could then carry around -- have code, will travel.

parents shouldn't read their kids diarys or search their rooms. if teenage kids don't trust parents enuf to talk to them, its too late. parents are not going to fix anything by spying. i think in the workplace, or in libraries and schools, things might be different, depending on the context. i think its reasonable to monitor a public workstation, but not a private one. even then, it is not reasonable to inspect private data. ordinary people absolutely must exclude the prying eyes of government busybodies and other vigilantists from their personal business. if people don't start doing this soon, it will be too late to re-establish meaningful standards of privacy.

Feel free to e-mail me, though I am not a bluetooth expert. My application just uses libraries I found in the web. I suggest you have a look at the forum I posted for bluetooth and .net integration.

Hi, it sounds like you have one or more empty loops, i.e. a loop testing some condition and when (not) met just start the next iteration. Each of those is a good recipe for keeping one core busy. The easy way out is to include a Thread.Sleep(100) in all such loops. The clean approach is to make things entirely event-driven so you don't need polling loops at all. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets modified on Friday, June 10, 2011 11:25 PM

The proper checkboxes were there, yes. But for whatever reason it now works and I don't think I changed anything. No idea what caused it to not work before. But, you were a huge help before and it's likely I did something you suggested without realizing it. So I'll give you credit anyway ;P

Hi all, and thanks for all the help so far. I've successfully gotten SQL Server 2008 running on my home machine, and can make databases, add rows/columns, everything I would need for this project. Also, the program written to interface with the server at the local level works great. Now I'm trying to log onto the same server and use the program to access the server remotely, from a computer on the same network, but having no success. It gives me the following error: Login failed for user XXXX/Guest. I know the info is getting to the server just fine, because of the nature of the error, and because I ran Wireshark to see if info was getting passed, and it was. And, I've looked on Google and on here for a solution, but nothing seems to help. I know that there needs to be a username/password on the SQL server itself so it knows if it can accept the incoming connection. Already tried this, but it didn't work, so I know I did something wrong... just don't know what. If you know the answer, please help. Thanks for all your suggestions so far and take care, Michael Fritzius

I love one-liners. This was exactly what I was looking for. Now to dissect it and toss the rest Thanka you, Michael Fritzius

Got it. Thanks Luc. Very helpful. I ended up having to get only the directory from the big long string describing the destination file. Checking to see if that Exists() and then creating it if not was what the solution needed. I now have a directory with a subdirectory containing a carefully uprooted file structure. Michael Fritzius

You're welcome :) The need to optimize rises from a bad design.My articles[^]

I found something here that uses keyboard and mouse hooks that shows how to intercept information from either the keyboard or mouse and do something to modify that information. Right now I have it so that when I press Enter, it moves the mouse down and to the right 50 units without my touching the mouse, and I don't even have to be focused on it. So maybe it has to do with hooks of some kind, but it's possible, just kind of tricky. I can't figure out how to simulate a dragging operation. Please take a look at the code and see if you can figure something out. It's got some kind of class that handles mouse motion, clicking and key presses, but nothing for dragging. The screenshot idea is pretty good too--I believe I could incorporate that. Thanks for your time, Michael Fritzius

CImage class has good functions for work with images.

unfortunately I havnt had a chance to use it, although I am aware of its existence - needing boost, VC 7.1 or above is the kicker for me, we're still a MSVC6 shop (Its likely I could get it to run on MSVC6, since the functionality from boost is contained headers, and if it doesnt use 'partial templates' it would depend on how much time I had) - this doesnt answer your question though ... its got some good things going for it - been around a while, seems relatively stable, IPV6 support, the model seems relatively easy to understand - when it comes down to it, those are the tradeoffs I consider. Of course, we must each weigh up 'ease of use' according to our own background and knowledge, but there seems to be enough examples etc the only kicker which I havnt examined it for is how complex a server can one write with it - number of connection, event model etc - it seems suitable for 'small' client/servers though

Wow I haven't gotten the chance to come back and say thanks to everyone who gave answers. But I took the advice of the first person, which is what I needed, because I need to still modify the buttons during the program. Thanks to all! Michael Fritzius

Thanks! I'm glad to see that one of those links was visited already so I guess I was on the right track. Those links were a ton of help. Thanks again! Michael Fritzius
