I just used Borland C# Builder and use it to develop a same program that I used to in vs.net 2003. I found C# Builder compiler is much faster than vs.net. And the program size it build is smaller.
Why?

Are you working for Borland ?
There is no "C# Builder compiler"...C# Builder is using csc.exe just like VS.NET, so what are you saying there is impossible.

Are you sure! I don't think so. Just take a look of my recent message,it shows different.

Yes, Borland licensed the standard Microsoft C# compiler for C#Builder. The timing effects you're seeing must be due to other reasons (not that I have any suggestions for you on why you're seeing a difference).

He could be but that's ad hominem and irrelevant to the truth or falsity of his claim.

All the more reason why he's asking the question!

What is C# Builder like generally? How do its features compare with VS .NET?

Thanks for all your condemn. And I do not work for Borland. I just want to know the truth.
And thank you for your words, I really learn some new English words! Like "ad hominem". I wonder if you could give me more!
Thanks again!

"Ad hominem" is a common logical fallacy. It means saying an argument is false because the person is so and so or because he works for so and so.
For example, suppose Fred writes a paper explaining why global warming is not a severe problem. You then find out that he works for Exxon. So you dismiss his argument. That would be an ad hominem argument. To refute Fred's paper you actually have to examine his reasoning.

I cannot use ildasm.exe to dasm the release version app build by vs.net 2003,but debug version can.
Is there any settings and where?
Thank you!

I don't have vs.net 2003 on my machine yet....but I can make a guess. I would assume that the Framework has placed the release version of the application into a different set of security settings. It would make sense that I cannot dasm a release build of an application just to insure no one can easily hack my code. It is also possible that there is some minor obfuscation going on as well.

If it's a user manually logging in, best practice is to just say one or more are wrong and not specify which one which is an ancient method of making life a little harder for hackers.
If it's called through code and you want to report which part failed, is that information not returned by the database driver when you attempt to use it?
In any case if you want to know which one is wrong, you pretty much have to first test if the servername is valid by connecting to it then report if not, if it is valid, try logging in and report if that fails. If it's a SQL server, I suspect there is no way to determine which of the password or user id is the incorrect value since they probably follow the time honored tradition of not reporting which one was wrong for the reason above.

I have a solution, it may not be the best, but I find it works. Say you have two input boxes, one for login, the other for password. What I did was set up a connection to the database, as usual, but, I made my query find all the usernames that matched the username inputed. If this fails, you know the username is invalid. Else, it will check the password, and you will know then if it is incorrect. Here is the code I used - try to use an error provider rather than the messagebox, but this should explain things a bit better.
string s = "Initial Catalog="+db+";Data Source="+srv+";UID="+uid+";pwd="+ps+"";
cnn.ConnectionString = s;
cnn.Open();
if(TxtUid.Text == Empty || TxtPass.Text == Empty)
{
MessageBox.Show("UserID or Password can not be left blank!","Login Fail",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
TxtUid.Focus();
}
else
{
sda = new SqlDataAdapter("Select usrPassword, usrFullName from users where usrName = '"+ TxtUid.Text +"'",cnn);
ds = new DataSet();
sda.Fill(ds);
dt = ds.Tables[0];
if(dt.Rows.Count == 0)
{
MessageBox.Show("The username specified does not exist","Login Fail",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
else
{
dr = dt.Rows[0];
string pass = dr[0].ToString();
string name = dr[1].ToString();
if(TxtPass.Text == pass)
{
Current.Visible = false;
ApplicationData.userNameConst = TxtUid.Text;
ApplicationData.userNameFullConst = name;
frm.Show();
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Password does not match username '"+ TxtUid.Text +"'","Login Fail",MessageBoxButtons.OK,MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}
}

Just throwing my 2.5 cents into the conversation. As mentioned earlier, it is best not to ever tell a user if the user or password is incorrect. If you do, you just cut your security drastically. If person that is trying to get into the system finds a name that is valid, then they just have to try figuring out the password. If you just say they entered an invalid user name or password, they will never know when the guess one or the other.
User friendly is fine and long as it does not hinder security.

Oh, sorry, thought you wanted to know which one was in error to display a message to the user. Not quite sure then why you would care which one was at fault.

Hi
When you show the ICQ window, if it is docked to a side of the screen, all maximized windows shrink to show it all.
How can i do something similar ?
Thanks
|

Okay -- this is not going to tell you how to do it....but you might have a direction to begin your search with this.
The ICQ process as you describe it sounds like it is implementing inside a taskbar object. Much like the taskbar in the OS and with Office explorer -- with they remain on screen, the maximized window fit to the remaining destop realty. So I'd suggest you start looking for a taskbar control and find out what its' limititations are for doing what you want.

Hi there,
I'm a self-learning newbie to .NET and C#, so I do not have enough knowledge to solve this problem, would appreciate any help please.
I wrote this console executable program (simply just moving files from one folder to another if some condition is matched), it runs fine on my computer but not on other computers that doesn't have the .NET Framework installed.
At first I got the error of missing mscoree.dll. After putting that file, I got a different error:
"Please set registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot to point to the .NET Framework install location"
What should I do so that it will run on other computers running Windows that don't have the .NET Framework?
Thank you,
Lynn

Install the .NET framework on them.  All .NET applications must have the .NET Framework installed in order to run.

When using params is it posible to get the name of the parameter passed or only the value?
Params is useful when you are not sure of the number of parameters, but if I'm not sure of the number, how can I be sure enough to blindly say:
FirstName = paramList[0];
LastName = paramList[1];
Thanks,
Robert

Don't you hate that? And then the overwhelming feeling of "How stupid can I be?" when you see that there really is an easier way to do it...
I once spent an entire day trying to rewrite something that was already in the .NET framework...that was depressing...

Twice recently I've tried all kinds of things to get something to work, only to find out that I forgot to convert a numeric value to double before comparing. You'd think I'd learn...

How do I put my program at the top of the process priority?
/\ |_ E X E GG
|
|
|
|
|
Process curProcess = Process.GetCurrentProcess();
curProcess.PriorityClass = ProcessPriorityClass.High;
Mind you, you have got to be very careful about what you do with this. You could find yourself with a totally unresponsive system. In general, messing about with priorities to give your app more oomph is only masking a deeper problem.
