Ha you should only know how many diffrent banks and service companies that runs checks against goverment databases for people who is suspected of terrorist acts or involment and is wanted by FBI and Interpol. Its not a 10 people list. this is 1000 of peoples and aliases that is used out there both here in the states and in Europe.

the question is not abt the list of ppl or whats happening in Europe or Interpol. Question is.. where have u specified the tables. You're just telling us, hey u guys my boss needs a list of terrorist and that... how in the world are we supposed to know where its gonna come from.

My boss wants me to add a function in the customer sign up that checks a database against wanted terrorists and their alias names they are using. Anyone know if there is a public database to query for names and photos.
this was more a call to the forums asking if they knew if there was a gov database for me to query out there. Alot of softwares uses this now and the chances a developer here on the forum had been in contact with it is high. So i see it as a good question for tips on where such public database could be.

Well, if you are provided said list its as easy as importing it into a database table, and using the normal search/lookup facilities provided by the Db (just like if you were searching for a customer).

My boss whent to some trade show and saw another company that had done this. They where querying a government database, so there is no list what i know of. I just get tired hearing of it and dont care much if its in or not, rather see something more useful get added to the software. I have never done something like this before and was hoping someone had done this before. I know the banks are now doing the same thing when you open a new account. and since the service our customers provide who uses our software could be used for terrorism he wants this as a sales pitch.

You may need check with your current district administration in this regard.

Message box: "I see you entered the name <john doe="">; this name appears on our list of suspected terrorists. Are you the suspected terrorist known as <john doe="">?" [Yes] [No]
If No -- Add user
Else -- Go back and require the user to enter a new name

or else tag Video Surv tape and deny user access to area.

Now I'm picturing the S.W.A.T. teams from "The Blues Brothers" and "Brazil".

thanks. this is part of whats needed. Thanks for the link. I can now start moving all this into a database.
|
|
|
|
|
Ooooh, wow, there's an XML version and a schema, use that one.
(Why does that sound sarcastic? It's not supposed to, darn it.)
|
|
|
|
|
I cant find the XML file and the schema. Only the txt files and the PDF file. Can you link it for me ?
Thanks

They're right there on the page the other link got to, further down the page.

Right, what the boss seems to want to achieve is unachievable, and therefore a waste of time and effort by the developers. Plus you'll wrongly accuse many innocent users and they'll go to a competitor's site instead.
|
|
|
|
|
Well the list is updated with all known aka names. I think my boss wants this as a sales pitch for the software. Purpose is to make it harder for someone to get the service if they are up to no good.
Yes someone can be denied service, but the customer owning the software can opt to use this or not in the settings.
|
|
|
|
|
But the user could perhaps create a new alias on the spot.
|
|
|
|

It finally occurred to me today that, were I a terrorist, I would check the list frequently.

Aloha,
I'm making a personal app. that can open a number of tabs (in a standard tabcontrol). Each of the tabs contains a webbrowser and the webbrowser automatically goes to a specific URL and fill out the fields on a form and click submit.
My problem is that I don't want to overload the site, so I would like to delay each tab opening a bit (10 minutes or so).
I have tried adding a Sleep() after each tab is opened, so the next tab opening (and thereby the next webbrowser submit) would be a bit delayed.
This works ok, except the event DocumentCompleted for each webbrowser aren't reached before all the tabs have been opened. All the webbrowser submit events therefore occur more or less at the same time, totally ignoring the Sleep().
Any idea how I can add a delay between my webbrowser submits?
Thanks, phimix

You need a loop that has a combination of sleep and Application.DoEvents()
The Application.DoEvents() allows the application to still process events and messages. If you just have the sleep nothing will be done until the sleep timeout happens.
Hope that helps.

You should not put Thread.Sleep in event handlers (or constructors).
Instead, create your tab pages with web browsers that initially don't refer
to their intended URL, let them point to a simple home page instead.
Then use a timer (I suggest a Windows.Forms.Timer) to set their URL property or
call their Navigate() method appropriately.

this weeks tips:
- make Visual display line numbers: Tools/Options/TextEditor/...
- show exceptions with ToString() to see all information
- before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google

Thank you for both answers.
This was the approach I choose. It works perfectly
