Hello to all.
I have a problem, I need to encode a password string in SSHA(this uses SHA1 in some way). I don't know how to do this. I didn't find any article on the net about that.

I need to do this because I'retrieving UserDetails from OpenSSO server, and the password retrieved is in SSHA encoded, and I need to compare with the given one password that's the input for my method, but to do that I need to encode this using SSHA.

Some ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your post, but I found this article before posting the question. It doesn't help me.
I think right now to change the strategy in my application because of that.

SSHA is the default encoding in openLDAP - I havnt seen many/?any stand-alone implementations of SSHA, so, you could download openLDAP, pull the code you need out of that !

ps .. its also used by the htpasswd function in Apache, so you could d/load that as an alternative to openLDAP

I found a plausible implementation that wouldve been easier to start with, but Im at home and its at work Frown | :-(

If you have a look, there is a forum for WPF, WCF et al.
Ask there, they might be willing and able to assist.

There are many free articles introducing WPF on the net, including here on CodeProject; go to the articles page and look for the headings. I have not tried WCF yet but I suspect the same holds true for that.

There's a reason they aren't free. The authors have to eat, so it's not fair to expect them to spend months writing books on complex topics, and then expect them to give them away.

If you don't want to buy a book, then read through the WPF docs on MSDN, and read through the articles by Josh Smith, Sacha Barber and Karl Shifflett here on CP.

DExplore issue

Do other people run across this Visual studio Help issue(I'm using vs2008 pro all service packs) and when I accidentally hit F1 or cause anything that resembled asking for help, the DExplore.exe opens up and runs "Help Update in Progress" for the rest of the day. VStudio is frozen and you cannot kill the dexplore thread without killing vstudio too.
I've tried setting help options to Not allow offline search, to no avail. I've trid opening up dexplore on its own, but even then F1 will trigger a new dexplore. I've tried removing F1 from the keyboard macros

Anyone else experiencing this. It happens to me on different computers as well.

Well you should post it in the DB forum/section.

Anyway here's one way how you could do it(the query):

OleDbCommnand cmd =  new OledbCommand(con);

//create a Select for example
cmd.CommandText = "CREATE PROC nameOfQueryHere(inName VARCHAR(50))
AS SELECT * FROM tblNameHere
WHERE tblNameHere.Name = inName";

//and create the query/proc by executing the command

cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Of course try catch and all that is up to you. I just posted an ideea.

[EDIT]The same technique for creating a table.
Use a command string in witch you create the table and execute it[/EDIT]

Trapping arrow keys in form

Hi!

I've read arrow kay can only be intercepted by using KeyUp event. KeyPress only works with characters, and KeyDown allows Control Keys, too, but not arrow keys.

I have tried, and KeyUp works well... but only if i have no other controls in the form! If I have any control enabled and focussed, I can't trap KeyUp Form evnent... I suppose the focussed control traps it.

I have Visual Studio 2003, so I only can use .NET Framework 1 available (or so I have been told). I'm proggramming a simple form that allow me to brouse data fron a database, and I don't have access to this nice BindingNavigator control. So, I have created the form, binded controls, and created the First, Last, Prev, Next buttons to manage my CurrencyManager. It works fine, but I want to be able to browse just using my arrow keys. I think that trap arrow keys ON EVERY active controls in my form is a very poor solution...

Any help, please? Smile | :)

In fact, just a few minutes ago, I had found this same article (google is your really 'very best' friend), and I was going to post the solution for any people who needed it. This, combined with myButton.PerformClick(), is the complete solution I needed.

Thanks for your very quick reply!
