AVG doesn't annoy though, IMO.
Of course M$ can't do it right, but that doesn't necessarily mean that no one can, right?

IF you're talking about the anti virus software, AVG only prompts when it blocks something. Hopefully you encounter trojan web pages/email much less frequently than you install applications or reconfigure your OS.

Actually, no. Maybe I just frequent the wrong places on the 'net, but I get plenty of warnings from my trusty ol' AVG
More often than I install something probably, most programs don't need installing.

Anyhow, they could fix UAC for the biggest part with one small fix: a checkbox "Remember this choice for this application"

That or maybe AVG's gotten considerably more noisy since I last used it 5(?) years ago. I maybe see an avast warning once a quarter, I get a UAC prompt once a week after installing all my base apps.

Perhaps. Then again it doesn't seem that bad:

Run Fx for the first time
Get a prompt. "This program doesn't have the necessary permissions to access the Internet. Do you want to grant the permissions this once, or permanently"
If the permanently option is selected, always give Fx permissions. Otherwise, just do it this once

The only people this should annoy are the people who don't read dialog boxes anyway, and don't notice the 'permanently' option. Prevent Weven being booted from anything other than a command prompt and you solve that

You might as well use ExitWindowsEx()[^] with EWX_POWEROFF flag.

Yes, it isn't a function from the .NET library; but you could use p/Invoke.

I want to ask some question about vb.net and c# . I had created dll file that write in vb language and I want to used in c# project Its possible or not if I do that!

thank you for all that give some advice me !!!

Yes it is possible. Once its compiled it does not matter if it is in VB.Net or C#.Net you will still be able to make use of its functions from within another class. Just make sure you reference the DLL correctly.

But, I'm wondering.. why didn't you just go ahead and try it?

Well, the question is answered. But I'll try to add more pointers.

Your query can come into picture only when the DLL was written in a native language, but needs to be consumed from within a managed language (or the plain old VB thing) AND which Calling Conventions[^] were used to export the functions from within the DLL.

While you write a DLL with any of those managed languages (or the plain old VB), it is always a COM DLL (You cannot write a Win32 DLL with VB, but you can write a COM DLL with C/C++).

these record it takes so much time. i am using data table as data source in ADO.NEt.
and Then filter further records using row filter it also take time.

Use the WHERE clause in the SQL itself. It would trip the the number of rows returned.

Are you really displaying the 2000000 all at once? Confused | :confused:

If not, use the paging instead and get the number of rows from the SQL on each page change.

Just to expand on the other post, loading 2 million records will take some time, paging would be your best bet to improve performance for loading, but for filtering 2 million records I don't see how to improve that bottleneck...

What possible use to an application user would there be of showing 2 million records? Do you ever go past page 5 on, say, search results at google?

Display what the user wants to see, not everything in the database and expect the user to trawl through hundreds of pages looking for the record he/she wants.

Hi all,

I am looking for a product that can allow me to extract specific data from a PDF file or convert it into a text file. I have google the topic, but I am not sure which ones are good? Confused | :confused:

Does anyone know of such a product?

Many thanks in advance

iTextSharp (.NET) and libHaru (native language) comes to my mind. But I'm not sure if they allow you to extract "specific data" from a PDF file. You might be able to extract the whole contents of the file and you can create a text file out of this extracted data.

Hi
I have two projects, A and B. A is referencing B. And I want to compile programmatically in the project A the referenced project B to a DLL-File.
How can I do that?

By deploying the command line compiler, and running it with Process.Start, I guess. Why do you want to do that ? I'm not sure what changes you can make to the dll and have your reference still work.
