You'll never be underpaid if you become a guru in network and system security. And I mean the hot shit - holy crap we've been hacked, get us somebody to track these guys type of security here. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

no, you use legal actions to protect against IP theft just like you do with a c++ app. IIRC there are obfuscators that produce sufficiently mangled output that reflection tools will choke. Anyone who really wants will just look at the raw IL and work the same way they would with the output of a disassembled native code application. -- CleaKO The sad part about this instance is that none of the users ever said anything [about the problem].

Just because you were not paid does not automatically insure that there is no employee/employer relationship. A paycheck is evidence that an employer can use. It isn't the only thing that they can use though. With no written contracts though these days someone claiming an employee/employer relationship can use email. If the developer thinks that this might be a problem in the future but isn't one now then the developer should take proactive steps now to document the relationship. For instance save email that seems to suggest an equitable discussion in which the developer is involved with decisions about the company (it doesn't hurt to proactively get involved in such decisions either.) A diary, one that is actually kept over time, can be used to document business communications which would otherwise not be documented. Meetings, telephone conversations would fall into this. Keeping instant message conversations would be a good idea as well. Keep in mind that depending on state laws (US) you can NOT record conversations without permission. So either verify the state laws, get permission or do not record.

Keep in mind that viewstate also slows down the transmission time and increases the bandwidth usage because it makes your page larger. .NET holds the viewstate information in a hidden form field so the text for that data is sent on each page request. Because of this, the user could try to modify the viewstate and send it back - so keep sensitive data in the session or in some data store on the server. Dirk Watkins

I have a Latitude D820 (currently on it), go with the N-Series if you want to run vista, that way you dont pay for XP. Get the 2gb of ram, 7200rpm hdd upgrade, the screen upgrade (1680, not 1900.. cant see crap on the 1900), second battery if you travel. They are really great laptops, 5 hours battery time when developing on low power mode. We have about 20 of them at work, every member of the support team has one, a few of the developers do for personal use, and the network admin has one for personal use. Not had any problems with them yet. -- Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

Your question seems to be complex... Could you please explain it clearly... I think I can help you.... Regards, Venkatesh Mookkan. Software Engineer

In that case I have this to say. you screwed up big time. I'll be sending you an invoice for $17 frillion per word shortly. :P -- Rules of thumb should not be taken for the whole hand.
