You cannot open applications on the client side, especially if the client does not have it installed.

if office was installed in client system, Can I do this??

No, you cannot take control of a user's system from a browser; it is a security issue.

I'm using .Net core and when I first read of user secrets I thought it was brilliant. That is until I met the powershell command:
dotnet user-secrets list
I'm looking at storing them on the database again, and encrypting them using something like bcrypt to encrypt them. The weakness of this argument is that the key is in the code...
Thoughts anyone on secrecy?

Who are you trying to keep the secrets secret from?
dotnet user-secrets list will only list the secrets stored for the current user. And it's intended to keep them out of your source control, not to prevent you from seeing them.

I'm trying to keep them secret from the next person to use the machine. I missed the detail about that list command only applying to the current user. I am much relived.

First thing to mention here is, why are you even trying to store the secrets—I am assuming, connection strings, API keys, etc. etc.—in your own machine, unless your web server runs in the same machine. In testing or development environment, you should consider using testing or development credentials, that when exposed can be cleared, rotated and wiped without any panic.
I am not sure why you didn't read the documentation for this tool, Microsoft had already made it pretty much clear that this tool is not for "securely storing your credentials", rather "storing your secure credentials". There is a huge difference,
The Secret Manager tool doesn't encrypt the stored secrets and shouldn't be treated as a trusted store. It's for development purposes only. The keys and values are stored in a JSON configuration file in the user profile directory. So, that was pretty much clear from the documentation that this tool doesn't do anything on its own side and as Richard said, it merely takes the secure information out of your code, to prevent it from being version controlled.
If you are using an external hosting service, use their secure vaults (or something similar in technical terms). For example, it is a bad idea of store the security details or credentials in environment variables, or even in the databases that you hold or own. Because as you said,
Quote: I'm looking at storing them on the database again, and encrypting them using something like bcrypt to encrypt them.
They are merely encrypted, anyone who has access to your machine—since this data is in your machine—has access to that database, which is clearly visible as these values are needed by your apps to function. Thus, anyone can access the keys.
The good practice to use nowadays is to use secure vaults, you can check with your hosting providers to check if they do provide any. For example, on Microsoft Azure you should use Azure KeyVault, Key Vault | Microsoft Azure, which secures your credentials and resists tampering against it.

Chances are I missed it when reading it, although I'm not sure whoose documentation I read on the subject so it might not even have been mentioned. Either way it was lost on me.

This is why I move away from database storage in the first place.

And this is the real value in your response.

Hi,
I built an ASP.NET web API but unfortunately, it is legacy. So I want to refactor it by using a generic repository, DI, etc. Are there any useful tutorials that I can use?
Best Regards.

There are, even on this site.

Start with identifying where DI would be appropriate, and asking yourself what you gain from it. Don't add something just to say you added it.

One tip that I would like to give is, that you should consider using ASP.NET Core instead of ASP.NET, as ASP.NET Core introduces cross-platform deployment support, is lightweight and can be extended to support any runtime.
Quote: So I want to refactor it by using a generic repository, DI, etc.
Everything that you mention here is a part of ASP.NET Core, and you can easily integrate these in your own applications without having to change or break the design pattern of ASP.NET Core development, and design.
Quote: Are there any useful tutorials that I can use?
Sure, start here, Create web APIs with ASP.NET Core | Microsoft Docs.
What you can explore there includes the DI, repositories for your data stores, and other best practices like asynchronous controllers and middlewares for ASP.NET Web API.

I have a razor pages application built in 2 projects, database access and the ASP.net application with data services, controllers and pages.
I now want to access the ASP.net data services part of the application from a mobile project. Does the ASP.net application need to be split into a web API and a client project or can I use the ASP.net project as a web API data service?

What is the difference between Finalize() and Dispose() methods?
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is difference between Finalize() VS Dispose():-
- Methods dispose() and finalize() are the methods of C# which are invoked to free the unmanaged
resources held by an object.
- The dispose() method is defined inside the interface IDisposable whereas,
- the method finalize() is defined inside the class object.
- The main difference between dispose() and finalize() is that the method dispose() has to be
explicitly invoked by the user whereas, the method finalize() is invoked by the garbage collector,
just before the object is destroyed

}
</tbody>
</table>
public ActionResult UpdateManageUser(int id,string pwd)
{
var con = Core.GetLocalConnection();
con.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM S_ACCOUNTINFO WHERE ID=@P1", con);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@P1", id);
var result= Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
if result= == 1)
{
cmd = new SqlCommand("UPDATE S_ACCOUNTINFO SET PWD=@P2 WHERE ID=@P1", con);

I am making a small example of adding, editing, deleting and saving the treeView directory tree into the SQL Server database, what must I design to store in the database and write code ?
|
|
|
|

Apart from the obvious items for each record you need to add some links to the child and sibling nodes. Assuming each record will be given an id or key value, you can link them by that. So a record can have an item that has the key of its first child node, if it has one. And also the key of its first sibling node, if it has one. That way you should be able to start from the root record and traverse the entire tree in order. Much the same as you would in the TreeView itself.
