No, it will be a DLL which is installed and registered against the stack. If you google "Writing a winsock layered service provider" you should find a number of articles which will take you through the basics.

Then try using google to research saving settings in a windows form application. Give it a go and if you get stuck. Come back and ask a question about where you're stuck.

Stephen Hewison 28-Jan-16 5:08am View

What mechanism have you used to save your settings? What code are you using to load them? Where is the code not behaving as expected?

Please update your question to include a sensible snippet of code which shows your problem.

When you create your cordova project you use the cordova create command on the command line. This creates a folder. The created folder is the root of your project.

Stephen Hewison 27-Jan-16 6:41am View

Then you're in the wrong directory. You should be in the root of your cordova project. Where the main config.xml file is.

Stephen Hewison 25-Jan-16 6:17am View

I don't think this can be done. I think you can stop a user seeing it whilst still being able to execute stored procedures which access it. But if you can directly execute any script against the table you must be able to see it.

Also TLS 1.0 is effectively deprecated and subject to known vulnerabilities. There's a movement across the internet to phase out SSL3.0 and TLS1.0 and to drop support for the RC4 cipher too. To ensure your website remain compliant with modern browsers and secure you should be planning to disable these during 2016.

Stephen Hewison 14-Jan-16 5:29am View

And to clarify. When windows orders the cipher suite preferences the (protocol, cipher, hashes and key exchanges make up a cipher suite) it makes not reference to the version of TLS being enabled in the suite. So this would suggest that yes, TLS1.0 is compatible with SHA256.

There is no scroll at bottom event so you've have to use the event you've identified. Then test the scroll position to see if it's at the bottom.

Stephen Hewison 15-Dec-15 5:55am View

this is a client event issue. What you've shown is a server side event. You'll need to solve this problem using javascript, the OnScroll event and properties such as ScrollOffset.

You can't install an APK over the top of an installed application with the same package name if the signing certificate is different. Did you uninstall the original APK which you decompiled?

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 7:00am View

That's a new question but I think it's going to be a limit on how much information can be passed through a uri attribute. Please accept if this answered your original question. Feel free to ask a new question.

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 6:40am View

What version of IE?

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 6:39am View

What process? The IIS worker process? Application_End is called when a work process is recycled or the application pool is stopped e.t.c.

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 5:46am View

Then use the global begin request method. This is called for every page request. If you want a distinct user count the use the session start event.

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 5:19am View

Is the page processing the cookie in an iFrame? Is the page location the same the main page?

Stephen Hewison 2-Dec-15 4:15am View

Bump!

Stephen Hewison 14-May-15 4:11am View

If you're interesting in just IE and the web server, you could also look at Fiddler. This already does exactly what you're asking for.

Stephen Hewison 28-Apr-15 4:35am View

This problem was stemming from a seed of bad info. Found the bad info and the problem is now solved. Was not a technical issue.

Stephen Hewison 28-Apr-15 4:19am View

If only it was that simple! Yes I'm testing on the same PC and the connection strings are fine. The server's recently been moved but the not NAT address hasn't changed and I copied the server/port from the same DB which drives the connection string on the .Net and SSRS side.

Stephen Hewison 27-Apr-15 5:33am View

What extension is your service using? ASMX or a Custom extension? Is the handler registered in the Web.Config in your product environment? Is the MIME type set up for your service extension?

Stephen Hewison 20-Apr-15 3:29am View

On what line are you getting the error? Use the browsers developer tools to find the error. A number of things changed from IE8 to IE11. Without providing the error line we cannot tell you the cause.

Stephen Hewison 2-Apr-15 4:07am View

Did you get a warning from Apple when you uploaded your build? I've had apps which work with notification from Xcode, but didn't have the correct permissions configured. So wouldn't work from Apple.

Stephen Hewison 25-Mar-15 5:57am View

If you're looking to using the Paint event on a control. You can call the control.Update method. This will in turn raise the Paint event.

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 9:47am View

Also does your table have any triggers? Could be an issue in the trigger.

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 9:04am View

The following are out of order in your SQL:

CheckIn,CheckOut,EmailId,Pincode
@EmailId,@PinCode,@CIn,@COut

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 8:58am View

Looks like the following is inside your look where the opening tag is outside at the start:

xml.Append("</Main>\n");

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 6:24am View

That's because you didn't remove the group by. My query doesn't have the group by clause.

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 5:48am View

then the id is chkExcludeBrand. Use:

$('#chkExcludeBrand').prop('checked', true);

The portion in the first bracket is a CSS query selector which needs to match the elements you're looking to amend.

Stephen Hewison 24-Mar-15 5:46am View

I see you want to aggregate to a single value. But can you explain how you get an ABC value of LUFT?

SELECT ABC = 'LUFT', ROUND(SUM([GWU Vorschau]),1) AS [GWU VS] FROM Per201408BS WHERE [ABC]='LA' OR [ABC]='LI' OR [ABC]='LS' OR [ABC]='LU' OR [ABC]='LX' OR [ABC]='LY'

Will give you your result. But that assumes a static value for the ABC column

Stephen Hewison 21-Mar-15 10:30am View

If the databases are on different servers I'd suggest looking at transactional replication. It's a feature of SQL Standard, So not express I'm afraid.

Stephen Hewison 20-Mar-15 20:11pm View

Yes you can. But you should look at a parameter called trigger level. This will stop infinite recursion.

Stephen Hewison 20-Mar-15 12:04pm View

All modern source code repositories do this. You get a tree structure with your branches and application structures. You can then compare any/all of the branches. TFS also has an annotation view where it shows you who was the last person to make changes to a piece of code.

I use TFS for managing a team of software developers. It gives me full audit-ability and accountability of code changes within the repository. All linked to a back-log and task management framework and highly integrated with the MS productivity suite.

What more do you need?

Stephen Hewison 20-Mar-15 11:54am View

Not a very good question. Please provide an example, what have you tried, what problems are you having?

Stephen Hewison 20-Mar-15 10:33am View

GIT, TFS?

You can create workers in JSFiddle by passing in the script like this:

// makeWorker is a little wrapper for generating web workers from strings
function makeWorker(script) {
var URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
var Blob = window.Blob;
var Worker = window.Worker;

if (!URL || !Blob || !Worker || !script) {
return null;
}

var blob = new Blob([script]);
var worker = new Worker(URL.createObjectURL(blob));
return worker;
}

Stephen Hewison 19-Mar-15 5:36am View

Don't think you can get the client print spool from the server or using javascript. At least not outside a corporate environment. Printing from BI platforms often uses extra software components to print pixel perfect reports. SSRS uses an ActiveX to enable printing. You could write a web deployed click once application. That would allow you to jump outside the browser sandbox.

Stephen Hewison 19-Mar-15 5:34am View

What are you validating?

Stephen Hewison 18-Mar-15 6:51am View

Not sure why someone down-voted this. Based on his fiddle this is exactly his problem and both my options would work.

Stephen Hewison 18-Mar-15 6:04am View

The browser doesn't represent the html in form of a tree. It represents the DOM tree in form of a 2 dimensional rendering.

processInfo.UseShellExecute = true;

Process.Start(processInfo);

Stephen Hewison 11-Mar-15 15:44pm View

I does sound like an issue with UAC. Are you only getting this issue when debugging in Visual Studio? Is your VS running as administrator? I've had similar issues using the SendKeys feature. You cannot pass instructions from a none administrator process to an administrator process otherwise this would be an exploitable hole in Windows security. Do you get the problem if you run your binary which executes the Process.Start() direction instead of through visual studio?

Stephen Hewison 11-Mar-15 15:16pm View

You've just answered you own question. Don't load anything into the combo to start. Let the user type the first 2 characters, filter at the DB level and only add the matches to combo once they're a reasonable number. I have to deal with similar type lists. I'd never fill a combo box with that many items. For a list that long you'd want to give the user a lot of screen space to view the list. More than in a combo box. I'd build an interface feature which has a search but allows you to apply pagination to the list of items. Only render 500 or so on a page at anyone time. A user will be more than happy to click next page after scanning that many rows. Also breaking the results down into pages would also help the user maintain the place when reviewing such a long array of items.

Stephen Hewison 11-Mar-15 4:43am View

One what line do you get the error? con.Open or cmd.Exec. Based on the error I'm guessing it's con.Open in which case you'll have something in your connection string. Other's have seen this by trying to escape quotes using ".

To avoid a time lag, each request from the server could issue a queue of next pieces. I would then issue an update to the queue with each move so you'd have, for instance, up to 5 moves to complete a server request before a lag is introduced.

Stephen Hewison 10-Mar-15 15:55pm View

If the game is tetris. I would issue the type of piece from the server. I would then get the client to report it's end position including any lines believed to be complete. (This verification could be asynchronous assuming all moves are audited before the prize is awarded). I would check on the server to make sure the final position and the lines removed were valid for the current board state. I would also put a limit on the time slippage so a user couldn't take longer to position pieces then should be allowed. Although you may need to allow some leniency here to make the game playable.

Stephen Hewison 9-Oct-14 12:36pm View

I understand the argument for it. But in a world of multiple service providers integrating into a single solution, to have to individually agree each of the implementation because they're implemented in an iFrame seems excessive. But I guess my real issue is one of our providers is refusing to implement a p3p policy.

Stephen Hewison 9-Oct-14 10:51am View

Please don't use all capitals. It's the same a shouting. It also makes the text more difficult to read and means you're less likely to get an answer to your question.

Stephen Hewison 9-Oct-14 10:49am View

I thought that was the case. It's just a bit annoying. The user has an agreement with us, we have agreements with our suppliers which are covered in our T&Cs. Why shouldn't we be able to accept the cookie?

This question asked about getting access to the WSDL. And you have your answer. Give it a go. I don't know QT but I do know web services. Download your WSDL and follow the gSoap initial steps. As you said, the initial step is the WSDL and now you know how to get it. If you get stuck using gSoap then ask another question.

Stephen Hewison 26-Aug-14 3:49am View

You don't need any web.config in your client. It should have no dependencies on ASP.Net. It should be pure HTML, JS and CSS.

Server side for your Web API, you will need a web.config. But any issues configuration that should be started as a new question.

Stephen Hewison 22-Aug-14 3:54am View

On windows you can use visual studio and eclipse to produce Windows and Android releases. You will struggle to produce the iOS release without a Mac. If you do not have access to a Mac I'd suggest looking at the PhoneGap Build process as this will do an iOS build in the cloud. But again, you'll still have to subscribe to the Apple developer program to do this. You can also rent Mac access from cloud providers such as:

http://www.macincloud.com/

This has plans from $1 an hour to $20+ a month. But is still considerably cheaper than investing in a Mac, at least whilst you decide if the PhoneGap route is right for you.

Here is the link for PhoneGap Build

https://build.phonegap.com/

Please accept my answer if you feel I've now answered your question.

Stephen Hewison 21-Aug-14 13:12pm View

Be aware if you have no experience producing mobile applications you've got some learning to do. It took me 2 weeks to set up all the dependencies for my first PhoneGap build on iOS. Another couple of days for Android and another week for WindowsPhone. But now it's done I can produce all three platform builds in a day. PhoneGap is great because it standardises the API across all platforms meaning you only have to design your application once. But it doesn't remove the need to understand the basics on each platform and it will take a while to get used to the different development tools for each of the platforms so be patient and be prepared to spend significant time setting up your development environments.

Stephen Hewison 21-Aug-14 13:01pm View

With the exception of Apple's enterprise development license you cannot produce an "Install File" to be downloaded onto the phone. The beauty of the mobile platforms is their security and ease of use which comes from all software having to be downloaded from a store. With Android you can install from untrusted sources but not by default. The user has to enable this by agreeing to a bright red "Do not do this" warning message. You can only install software onto a Windows Phone if you have the phone physically connected to the computer. So if you're looking to produce a PhoneGap application to be made commercially available then you have to subscribe to each of the platforms development programs so you can submit to their stores.

Stephen Hewison 21-Aug-14 12:53pm View

Did you watch the PhoneGap development video?

Stephen Hewison 21-Aug-14 12:52pm View

You have to compile a platform specific build. The PhoneGap API installed via NodeJS will allow you to create projects for the different platforms. You drop your web files into the folders created by PhoneGap and then run the PhoneGap build command to prepare the project. This then creates project outputs which can be opened and edited before submission. For iOS it creates an XCode project to be opened in XCode on a Mac running OSX. For Android it creates a Java project which can be opened using Eclipse provided as part of the ADT download. For WinPhone this creates an Visual Studio project to be opened in Visual Studio. Each development tool compiles their own builds designed for their own platforms. These can then be submitted to their associated app stores. Although the submission comes at a cost of around £100 per year for Apple and £65 per year for Microsoft. Android is free. You could also use the PhoneGap Build service which does alot of this for you but you still need to subscribe to the platform development programs to be able to submit to the stores.

The whole purpose of MDI is to dock the child window. But I think, there's an OnMaximize event you can use to override the behaviour and instead set the window position to 0, 0 and the width/height to the container viewport size. This will in effect maximize the window to the parent without actually maximizing the window.

Stephen Hewison 20-May-14 8:51am View

I think you're worrying too much. Most people are pragmatic. They'll ask two questions about your end product. Does it do what they want and does it do it fast enough? If the answer to both is yes then it doesn't really matter. If you're only doing something, such as raising a click event, once as part of a process then it really doesn't matter. If you're doing something thousands of times in quick succession then performance becomes more important. In which case, sent a up your own bench mark tests. Try each method 1000s of times until you see a difference in performance and then pick the best one.

Stephen Hewison 20-May-14 8:48am View

I'm not going to go through all your code for you. But there are tools out there to help with optimisation. VS premium and ultimate have profiling tools which will show you what parts of your code take the most amount of time. If you don't have these editions you can demo the AntsProfiler from RedGate. But if you like the tool please do buy it.

Stephen Hewison 20-May-14 8:10am View

This is swings and roundabouts really. I don't think it makes much difference. I'd choose option 1 because then you could update the value in the client without having to rewrite the event binding.

I don't think you can "pop up a word document" from a web page. All you can do is serve the response for the document. What the browser does with that depends on how the browser is configured and what plug ins it has available. You do have a little control as the MIME type set for doc/docx on the server but this is fairly limited. When we need to pop up a formatted document we use the ReportViewer, this can export to Word but also renders a pixel perfect report on the page.

Stephen Hewison 24-Jan-14 9:41am View

The clue is Object reference not set to an instance of an object. If you debug your code, find the line where the exception happens then check which object is null, you should be able to fix the problem.

It's not designed to have more than one master page. A master page can't have a master page, so you can't nest master pages in that way. I'd suggest your approach is wrong. If you explain the problem you may get a workable solution.

Stephen Hewison 31-Oct-13 8:56am View

Your child page should be able to cast it's master page to a specific type of master page. This will give you access to the controls within that master page and will allow your child page to programmatically change the behaviour of your master page. You should be able to disable it by setting enabled on the timer to false.

Stephen Hewison 31-Oct-13 8:50am View

I agree this should be done client side. Normally when server events don't fire it's because you forget to rewire the event when the form is posted back.

From a security perspective, displaying a real exception messages provides would be hackers with insite into your code and infrastructure. This can create a real risk and should be avoided. As such it is a penetration test failure if you display the messages. I have a sequence which increments with each error. I display this number so I can look up a specific exception when there is a problem.

I'm sure we will get some appropriate consultation, just trying to make sure I have all the mechanism required, should they be required for a particular culture. Annoyingly it looks increasingly likely our first international venture will be into Arabic. Would have preferred a nice Latin based European culture but that's life I guess.+5

Yes to human cultures. We have a custom check box nicely suited for iPads which currently displays a tick or a cross. Will these visual cues be meaningless in foreign cultures.

You need to interrogate the WebResponse object returned by the WebRequest as this will have the relevant HTTP redirect codes and the redirect address. You'll be able to follow this until you find the PDF.

Stephen Hewison 12-Aug-13 9:21am View

It's not set by the web browser. It's set by the web server. Are you not in control of the server supplying the pdfs?

If you want to do it completely from the client. You could use the WebRequest object to get the file bytes and handle the save in the client instead of using a web browser control.

When the XmlReader is at the point of any specific XML node from your document. You can access the value for any attribute using the default collection on the xml reader. see the code xr["i"] just replace the "i" with any attribute name. Actually stop, look at the example and work out what it's doing. Then next time you won't have to ask the question.

Stephen Hewison 19-Jun-13 3:41am View

You change the check against Name to "RootMenu" and the reference to the attribute from "i" to "name"

Although that said. If you must do it in .Net it will require you to write a lot of unsafe code plug in to the Win32 API. The following article describes exactly what you're trying to do in a little more detail. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/257768/writing-a-virtual-printer-in-net

Stephen Hewison 18-Jun-13 6:10am View

Your requirement is to write a virtual printer driver which isn't simple at all. My advice would be to use the tool I showed you to write the file out to a user specific location and then map a network drive to that user as part of your group policy. Alternately you could purchase 1 license per user and install and configure it on each end user machine.

Stephen Hewison 7-Jun-13 11:41am View

This is a bad question. I've read it several times and you haven't explain how the modifier table relates to the other tables. Also foreign keys aren't used for updating tables. They're used for ensuring referential integrity and improving query performance when selecting data. You need to explain the use case for scenario. Please improve the question.

Stephen Hewison 6-Jun-13 7:07am View

That error message has nothing to do with the object graph size. That error message is a generic error message presented by the client. It means there's a problem with your service and your client can't communicate with it. You need to take a further look at the configuration of your service.

In most browsers pressing F12 will launch the developer tools. You can then use the script section to set a break point in your JS code. You can then step through your JS code to see where it's failing.

Stephen Hewison 2-Oct-12 13:44pm View

If you have multiple cascading constructors "this" allows you to reference other constructors within the same class as opposed to "base" which allows you reference constructors from the inherited class. So:

public class Foo
{
public Foo()
: this("default text")
{
}

public Foo(string message)
{
//do something with message
}
}

Just to add a little more info. IOC or Dependency Injection is one of a set of 5 principles called the SOLID principles. By following these principles in your code design you'll produce very clear, well defined and reusable code. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_(object-oriented_design)

Stephen Hewison 2-Oct-12 13:26pm View

Hi Sergey, thanks for the info. Prefixing private fields with underscore is acceptable whilst not often done in C#. I prefer it to lower camel case to avoid clashes with method parameters and having to prefix references to private fields with "this". You are right that depending on the situation, internal would be a valid option for the worker. But then you'd be making the assumption the worker is in the same assembly as the form, the OP didn't give enough info to make this assumption and in reference to using IOC, doing so in the same assembly kind of negates the need for IOC. Also the OP wasn't asking for lesson on access modifiers so I assumed it was out of scope of the question. And whilst it's by the by, you voted 4 not 5.

It's a bit of a big question. My advice would be to think about the entities involved. I've worked with time tables and they're not simple systems, especially if you're record registrations too. There are classes, students, class grouping, rooms, teachers, days, lesson slots.

Start with an entity relationship diagram, think about normalisation, if you don't know what normalisation is, read about it. Then start on the code.

Third party interpreters for Silverlight can be a bit ropey. You have to design you're application to the Runtime. It's similar to trying to write code for .Net and Mono.

Stephen Hewison 28-Sep-12 4:41am View

I added lots of comments. Are you using IE? Is the .Net framework in which the application is compiled installed on the machine? Do you have .application registered as a MIME type in the VD in IIS?

Stephen Hewison 28-Sep-12 3:00am View

In simple terms yes, decoupling the logic from the view is a good idea. Traditionally software application are developed in 3 layers to enable them to be reused. Data access layer (DAL), Business logic layer (BLL) and the User interface layer (UIL). When you progress to building larger systems you'll find this approach useful as often in business systems you have multiple applications/processes need to consume to the same data/logic. If you want some good reading to give you insight into other design practices I'd suggest reading the following... Service Oriented Programming, Aspect Oriented Programming, Domain Driven Design Practices, Test Driven Development Practices, SOLID principles. Also an understanding of practices around inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction, interfaces. Design patterns as well, the more design patterns you understand the more tools you'll have in to tool bag to solve logic problems as they present.

It is, but the way I've written it allows the MixCollection and MixUpdater to become a programming component which can be used by any application or interface. Your approach irreversibly links the classes to your UI. When thinking about your application design you should consider best practices. Take a look at the SOLID principles, if you learn then and follow them you're coding standards will vastly improve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_(object-oriented_design)

If you've got a collection which is being managed by multiple threads. I'd definitely put the thread safe handling into the collection. Give me a few minutes and I'll try and update with a more complete code sample.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 7:37am View

The key to getting a good answer is to provide all the information required to reproduce to the problem, but to do it in a way that requires CodeProject members to look at the least amount of code. So once you've tested your script and proved it works. Try and create the most basic example which illustrates the problem. Then update your question with the code.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 7:26am View

You may be asking the wrong question. Like I said, rule out problems with your script. Take a simple page, nest a few divs with known positions and test the script to make sure you're getting the correct values. Beyond that, without seeing the full html and looking at the element you're testing it's not going to be possible to provide you with an answer.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 7:18am View

I use my script framework with application using master pages without any problems. I use this script in a drag and drop wysiwyg content designer and it works without any problems. I'd suggest simplifying the problem. Take the script out of your application. Create a test page with just a couple of html elements and test the script. Once you know the script is working, you can rule that out as your problem and look at other things. Also, how do you know the top position is not correct? How is it not correct? What should it be? What value are you getting?

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 6:29am View

P.s. if you tell someone something is not working. It might be a good idea to explain how it's not working.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 6:29am View

The approach is sound. It's just the paragraph delimiter which might be wrong. You need to open you text file up in a hex editor. Look at the data in the file and find the characters which are common to where there are paragraphs and then adjust the code to split the text using that delimiter.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 6:18am View

Sorry, not a well formed question. Can you provide a bit more detail?

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 5:34am View

It's not clear what you're trying to do. Are you looking to host a WCF service in a WPF application? Or have a WPF application consume a WCF service?

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 5:25am View

With none NAT IP addresses, you should never get an IP switching in anything other than the class D range. That's why network affinity in NLB binds to the class C address. I don't think any approach that would persist someone's state after a class C address switch would be secure. We have clients which use load balanced proxy servers so class C would far into the IP address as I could go in terms of securing the session. But yes, some kind of encryption in the cookie using the class C as the key/salt would help stop session hijacking from outside the users original network. We have to use secure cookies anyway as a non secure session cookie is a penetration test failure.

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 4:36am View

Yeah, I'm thinking about writing my own. I'm thinking about building a best of both worlds scenario, so build something like the state service which runs on a active/passive cluster behind the NLB cluster, which writes data to SQL but persists state in memory. That way if the active/passive cluster falls over it can rebuild the session state from SQL but for normal operations it uses the servers RAM (I believe it takes approximately 33% longer to load the data from SQL each time). Then use a time limited cookie, instead of a session cookie, which is refreshed with a new expiry with each page cycle and can be accessed by all of the web servers. This would enable a sliding session expiry similar to the sliding expiry of forms authentication. My only concern with this is that does configuring the cookie this way enable someone to hijack another persons session?

Stephen Hewison 27-Sep-12 2:59am View

Hi Christiaan, thanks for the feedback. I've used both State Service off the web servers and SQL session state. Both methods are sticky to the server. So if I take a node out the NLB, the clients on that server lose their session state. It's because the session cookie is a http only, session cookie. When you switch web servers the cookie can't be accessed and the session is lost.
