Well, if you're riding out again tmrw morning at around the same time, then take a pic ! Moon's approaching full so you should see the same sight until the end of this week although occuring in the same spot slightly later each day - clear skies permitting !

You could deploy your website as a HTA application, this may get around the issue of the user having to manually enable ActiveX: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/hta/overview/htaoverview.asp[^]

Anyone know of any googd utilities to compress ASP.NET web pages? i.e. stripping out white-spaces and indents etc. I'm looking for a HTTP module perhaps.

Wow! What a fantastic application! Just seen the screenshots and have a few questions: 1. Can you tell me where you get your real-time stock quotes from? Is it a webservice? If so, how you use that webservice? 2. Where do you get your charting information from? Are they real-time also? 3. How do you receive chart information and then actually compose them? – Does charting information come a stream which you then use GDI to compose them? 4. Is this a client/server application – or am I hitting simple webservices? A great application, downloading it now! :cool:

For my undergrad project (last year) I developed a P2P (file-sharing & IM) app with use of a central server, developed using the .NET Framework. I should have used .NET remoting, but decided to stick with the Socket classes because it seemed simpler. As for .NET security ideas I really haven’t touched that part of the Framework. Here are two project ideas I thought of awhile ago; you could develop using .NET: * An auction website (eBay) - including a Windows Service which runs on the auction server which expires auctions maintaining the auction database (maybe a SQL Server trigger could do this?). A mobile-phone bid-back system using Web Services would be cool. Lots of ADO.NET programming and Forms authentication for security here. * A stockmarket app – A Windows Forms thin client investment portfolios manager (perhaps with graphing) for stocks. Some sort serialization/saving of portfolios would be cool so that you transport/load them into an instance of another app to compare with other portfolios. Possibly encryption security required here.

On average, how long does it take a normal person to walk a mile?

I did click on it, hence I know the Windows Service/SQL Server thing it does... but I was thinking if I could get the solution and source code which don't seem to be there.

I was wondering how the whole MS stock chart solution works using the Dundas Chart and DOTS Fastquote service; all combined with a Windows Service and SQL Server database. Is the code of the entire solution available to see? Also, is it done using .NET? Cool stuff!

Does anyone know if MS are going to release a video of BillG’s PDC keynote speech? I think they did for the last PDC? Can’t be bothered to read the entire thing at MSDN. Or maybe a MS zombie has a “bootleg” copy of it?

*I think*... Avalon is the new graphics API for future Windows versions; and XAML is the new GDI to access it all...I dont know

Check out Springsteen's tribute, played "I Walk The Line" on September 14 2003 at Chapel Hill, NC; not up for long: http://joosse.org/mp3/walk.mp3[^]

Paul Watson wrote: If financial app, financial feed of currency rates, hot stocks etc. You know, stock ticker stuff, but fed through RSS I was thinking that too, but isn’t this done better with XML Web Services? I'm getting confused about when to use RSS and when to use XML Web Services :confused:

hmmm...must be my comp then :confused:

Are the MS Passport sites down or is it my comp? Since about 9pm UK time I cant login to MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger, Hotmail.com or MSDN.com, GotDotNet.com, MSN.com Whats going on?

Yikes, they eat their own pets? :omg:

Can somebody screenshot this thing? I can't get it to compile and am wondering what the "Group Chat" thing looks like?! :confused: Thanks!

Hey, Read this: http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/67/lev3/74/pid/608/qid/288473 If that link don't work, then search Yahoo! for "history still there". Once you solve the problem, let me know how you did it. Good Luck!

I've been trying to acquire some Bach CDs myself but don't know where to start - which concertos are best? - It would be grate if any of you guys can post some links of these; preferably point them out at Amazon.com ??? Thanks.

Hey, I'm a University student who has to produce a third year final project by Sep 2002 in order to complete my Software Engineering degree. The problem is that I've got no idea of what sort of project to produce. Have you guys got any ideas? I'm not a games developer, so no games! Whatever the idea, I'm going to use C# and VS.NET as development tools. I'm thinking along the lines of "An XML web service about...?" or "A windows/web application about...?" or "A mobile ASP.NET application about...?" But I can't seem to finish the lines off! Any ideas? Any new line ideas? What are you guys working on? Thank you, Steve.
