I decided that before I can fully and effectively criticize this monstrosity , I needed to take in the full view of it. So I went and installed the Community Forums NNTP bridge,availableSeems to be working.
View 9 RepliesI'm building an application that has to pull certain data which is linked in an .nzb file from a NNTP server. I built all the other functions like connecting, authenticating, getting newsgroups, XOVER and posting and getting messages. I dont know how to actually download the binary parts from the server and combine them into real files
A Sample of a .nzb file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nzb PUBLIC "-//newzBin//DTD NZB 1.0//EN" "http://www.newzbin.com/DTD/nzb/nzb-1.0.dtd">

View 1 RepliesI have a small web browser application I wrote in VB.NET that is specific to it's use. To set it up, I have to setup port forwarding. Is there any way I can write another .NET app that runs on my dedicated server, accepts an incoming connection from my home PC that sits there. Then any other incoming connection from the outside world can then be connected to my home pc through the app on the dedicated server? If there is a term for this sort of process or program, I do not know what it is.

View 1 RepliesI want in my bridge program the time between appearance of cards longer. Different suggestions can be found in the forum. I tried "System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)" resulting in the card appearing in half and after the delay the rest. Only the following code does as intended:
Dim Timer As DateTime = Now.AddMilliseconds(2000)
Do Until (Now > Timer)
Application.DoEvents()
Loop
I place this just for the code of the next card to be displayed. It is strange that the dim statement should be there. When I place it instead at the beginning of the program the code doesn't function anymore.I can live with that, however, in the forum some contributors write that this code is dangerous as it can slow down the machine considerably..Is that true or and/or only true for older versions of Visual Basic?
how useful is dotfuscator free community edition? I applied it on my application and then checked the assembly using the Red Gate's .net reflector. It seems dotfuscator just changed the names of modules,classes and functions. once you know where to look( module or the class) , code was pretty much visible.Basically I want to secure my .net applications and to prevent them from being disassembled in to meaning-full code.

View 2 RepliesI have been asked to fix a Community Server forum where thousands of users were created via a script. All of their profile pages are SEOspam for prescription drugs, etc. The forum was not using email verification or admin approval for newly registered users. I turned on the latter for now, but captcha would be nice.
My problem is that it is very cumbersome to mass delete these accounts. I set up a .net grid (Telerik Radgrid actually) so that I could mass select users and click delete. However the following code does not seem to be working (mind the VB nubbery):
Protected Sub rgUsers_NeedDataSource(ByVal source As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs) Handles rgUsers.NeedDataSource
rgUsers.DataSource = Users.GetUsers().Users()
End Sub

The UserDeleteStatus result returns 'Success', however the user is not actually deleted. Am i using the correct delete function?

View 4 RepliesOn Tuesday, 28th June 2011, I received an email from Nestor Portillo, Director Community and Online Support, Microsoft informing me that I have been awarded the Microsoft Community Contributor (MCC) Award for 2011. It was a cheering news for me in more ways than one. I am a Chartered Accountant (or CPA) with no formal training in IT. I am a government employee in Nigeria where most people are barely IT literate. I am into programming out of personnal interest and because I see a great potential for future benefits in that field.
But my joy was cut short because as I followed the steps towards printing my Certificate and redeeming my token, I was informed that government employees are not eligible for MCC award! For once, I regretted the honesty of admitting that I'm a government employee in the radiobutton provided for that. I find it too hard to understand why I am being denied this award just because I'm a government employee. If being a government employee does not disqualify one from participating in this forum, why should it disqualify one from benefitting from the token recognition of being here and sharing ideas and knowledge with others? Shouldn't Microsoft be encouraging government employees to take part in this forum knowing that public servants are the least interested in IT? For those of us in Africa, shouldn't my recognition serve as an incentive for others in government to show interest in IT? Or is Microsoft not interested in IT education and development of government employees especially in Africa?
I forwarded a protest letter to Portillo on the 30th of June 2011 but have not received any reply two weeks later. I am using this medium to appeal to Microsoft to kindly reconsider the exclussion of government employees from its awards. I am not in any way involed with any activity that may create conflict of interest if that is the issue. I am also appealling to other forum members to join this debate with a view to reversing this patently discriminatory and obnoxious rule.

View 2 RepliesI currently have a program that I made which opens other apps packaged with an installer. I have set the installer to install everything to the Program Files folder. However, not all computers have a C: hard drive. I have a way in which they can enter their drive letter in one form then in the next form it remembers the drive and will take them to the program. The problem is my program stores the drive letter in an xml file. On the startup of the program it looks in the xml file to find the drive letter, if there is no drive letter the form opens then lets the user set his drive letter. The xml file is stored in the folder "Math Wizard" in the Program Files folder. But if not all
View 3 RepliesI started working on a big project for like 5 mins ago. Then suddenly I figgerd out that I don't know (AT ALL) how to make a program that can:
- Connect up to a server (which will be my secound computer)
- Chat
- Make groups
- Etc
the login system is simple but the client server thing is another story.So basicly what im asking about is: How can I make a program that connects to a server (this should not be local).
I am trying to create a data entry system for a local community group. I am working with VB.NET 2010 and MSAcess 2000. I am completely new to using a DB in VB.Net. I have created a form with the membership table bound as details on the form and the classes they are attending as a DataGridView. I used all the Visual Studio GUI tools for this. It was reasonably straightforward once I got the hang of things. My problems arise when I try to ensure that a user cannot move to a new record or create a new member without first saving any changes they have made.
I am using ColumnChanging events in the ...DataSet.vb class to set flags to indicate whether any data values have been changed on the form. My problem is that the ColumnChanging events for the classes DGV fire immediately on changing the data whereas the ones for the member details don't fire until I start to move to a new record. I don't know if it is important but my member navigation is achieved by means of a combobox on the form that lists the member names from the table. I have absolutely no idea why this works - it just did; the form updates as soon as the user selects a new member in the combo box.
I am trying to create an online forum inside of my application. Yes, I know I can make my own forum via PHP and then just use the browser object and link it back to the webpage, but my goal is to make an application that doesn't need to use a webpage (just a database, of course!)In PHP there are lines of code that will allow you to create a table and add the appropriate number of columns/rows needed to display the information in the same table (depending on how many elements are in the database).
So my question is: Can the VB.net application do a similar function? I've come up with a solution of just displaying information and either hiding/revealing objects depending on whether or not there is anything in the database to show. It's very messy and I'm desperately looking for another method.
Is there any way by adding to forums? ( like I click button1 & it goes to a new forum?)
