Yes! Thanks, that works great. my blog

Well we already the C++ one done C++ Forum FAQ[^] but finding it, is a little difficult. A link on each forum to a FAQ would be good. I guess it is just a matter of submitting a FAQ article. Michael CP Blog [^]

Im interested in seeing ASP.Net hosts appearing that run on Linux Platforms. Since this would be 100% Free for OS and .Net "Compatiable" software, it should undercut Windows+ASP.Net hosts by quite a margin. It always frustates me how much cheaper linux Hosting is over Windows.. Has anyone seen any "Mono" Hosts yet? John John Crocker

I have used this method many times in the past. It has only one draw back. GUID's are not inherently sortable on SQL. This can hurt paging schemes (i.e. Give me the first 10 then the next 10) and random picking (i.e. random drug testing). Solving these issues is more informative then simply choosing a GUID for your primary key. By the way, joins & indexes are a little slower with GUIDs then with INTs. Nothing measurable until you get into large tables but, they are slower.

Here's one to add to the list: In Visual C++ .NET, when adding a new class, the implementation file includes the its header file with ".\header.h" instead of "Header.h". For me, this can be a pain. :~ Happy Programming and God Bless! "Your coding practices might be buggy, but your code is always right." Internet::WWW::CodeProject::bneacetp

Thanks peter, for clearing the doubt. //Start of joke Never comment ur code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand !!! //End of joke

The problem turned out to be that my DLL exposed an ADO recordset. This was not a problem on machines with Visual Studio.NET installed, because they have ADODB.DLL in the GAC. However, most user machines do not. So the solution was to copy ADODB.DLL from my local machine (C:\Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies\ADODB.DLL) to the target machine, and then install it to the GAC (gacutil -i ADODB.DLL).

OMG, what an awesome idea. cheers, Chris Maunder

The reason it cannot be inherited is because HttpWebRequest does not have a public default constructor that takes zero arguments. If you use code like this (note: not safe, you must provide proper arguments for base(..,..)) it will compile and work: public class SafeHttpWebRequest : HttpWebRequest { public SafeHttpWebRequest() : base(null, new StreamingContext()) { /* do something */ } }
