I have written a dynamic database driven, object oriented website with an administration frontend etc etc. I would like to add a feature where customers can save items as "favourites", without having to create an account and login, to come back to them later, but I dont know how exactly to go about doing this... I see three options:
Log favourites based on IP address and then change these to be logged against an account if the customer then creates an account;
Force customers to create an account to be able to use this functionality;
Log favourites based on IP address but give users the option to save their favourites under a name they specify.
The problem with option 1 is that I dont know much about IP addresses - my Dad thinks they are unique, but I know people have had problems with systems like this.
The problem with 1 and 2 is that accounts have not been opened up to customers yet - only administrators can log in at the moment. It should be easy to alter this (no more than a morning or afternoons work) but I would also have to implement usergroups too.
The problem with option 3 is that if user A saves a favourites list called "My Favourites", and then user B tries to save a list under this name and it is refused, user B will then be able to access the list saved by user A because they now know it already exists. A solution to this is to password protect lists, but to go to all this effort I may as well implement option 2.
I need to wait for and event within a given period (30s) and then timeout if this time elapse. I am sending a command to a server from a dll, and I need to wait for response before sending another. I want to implement a timeout feature, that why I need to use a timer. I want to use a timer, but don't know how to use it in a DLL.
I'm planning to create an application that counts the number of calls recieved based on the type of calls. For example: When a person gives a call an audio menu provides various options. If the person choose option 1 then the count value under option 1 will increment;If the person choose option 2 then the count value under option 2 is incremented, ect, ect,ect.
am trying to add a favourites option to my web browser, but I am unsure how to add them.I'm just looking for a simple option which will display the favourites on a single button click, and then be able to add the current page to the favourites menu.
Although there is topics and questions already on this but its not helping me at all I need an idea on what to change as I am new to this and just adding the code then editing it to suit my document is not helping I just cant implement this.

I got a hard one for you devolpers.In a popular C++ program BitComet they have a Check For Update feature.How would I have a simple Check For Update and have it warn the user every 1 week or so.
I just read a book : Pro ADO.NET 2.0.It discuss about the disconnected and connected feature of the ADO.NET.In disconnected, the "data container" is DataSet.But it doesn't say anything about the data container if i use the connected feature. In ADO, we have recordset, what about ADO.NET.
Im making an application which is basically a lojack project. Im wanting to get some ideas for maybe other features or the best way to go about this for maximum tracking ability.Right now I have it working the way I think it should work and what it does is get your external IP, it then returns the City, State, Zip, Latitude and Longitude and sends all that info to you in an email. I have it check against a Database that houses computer registration, computer name, and then the status of the laptop which the customer calls in, if its stolen. Right now this is just a piece of software and Im currently working on something low level to do something before Windows loads up. Right now thats not something Im focused on hardcore, but Im working on it and itll get done.
how to use the find and replace feature? Sort of like what notepad uses. But, it replaced certain characters with a set character, not a changable one.[code...]
Where do we make feature suggestions for VB.NET?Basically, I'd like to suggest that they introduce "strikethrough comments". As an alternative to using the single quote ' for remarks, you can use the backquote (ASCII 96) ` which does exactly the same thing except that the text appears with strikethrough. This would be good for "commenting out" code. So if I am replacing a bit of code, I can "cross out" the old code,
I want to be able to use Microsoft's Update feature in my app. When doing some research on this, I found out that MS uses an executable called WUSA.EXE for their updates. Unfortunately, you can't just run the executable and expect it to work. So, I guess I'm asking if anyone knows how I can do this. For the moment, my app is only targeted toward Windows Vista.
I have a form(EmailContacts) which contains a datagridview and a button to add the data to a textbox of another form. Everything is working fine and i can display data from the database on the datagridview properly. The problem is how do i add a 'Select All' feature such that when the user clicked once on the 'Select All' checkbox, all the checkboxes of the columns are selected?
These are my codes for the form:- Public Class EmailContacts Dim xs As String
In my company, we make software which we use to test certain skills and intelligence factors of people. Some of those tests are time bound. On the test page, there is an asp control that shows the time remaining. When you right click that control, the javascript that provides the time is interrupted. To solve that, we disabled right-clicking. But now i've noticed that if you do a selection of some text and click the IE8 accelerator blue button, the javascript is also interrupted. Disabling the left-click if of course no option.
I've found an option in IE that disables the accelerator, so for us internally, the issue is solved. But we would like to find another solution, just because we cannot ask every one of our customers to go disable that option on all their computers.
I'm trying to create a routine in my asp.net's main page that will see if the current user is a member of a Windows domain group. The site is hosted in IIS and is visible through our intranet.
GlenFerrieLive listed this code (which I'd like to use) in an earlier post: UserName = System.Environment.UserName If Roles.IsUserInRole(UserName, "MyDomainMyGroup") Then
[Code]....
Problem is, now I'm getting the configuration error 'Default Role Provider could not be found'.
How can I get around this? I just need to see if the current user exists in a specific domain group.
I wanted to develop a tool in which i want to use words Macro Like feature.In an Application there will be front-end (i.e. form) which will accepts basic information like name,age,gender,Marital Status,Address,Locality,Contact number etc... In a backend i will be having few fix text fromate in the database as a string or BLOB.( instead of databaes, i can even keep words text template)
Now what i want to do is:when user submites the form data, my app should use this submitted data and replace all the marked location in text formate with the data provided by form. and once the complete text string is generated , i want to generate word file ( and/or Pdf) file from this.How can i acheive this with any one of this language .NET( web or Desktop ) , QML ,QT,Java ?( Text Fromates : because most of the containts of the text will be the same, only few words (fileds) will be diffrent for each copy generated)
If I have a folder with a bunch of ".htm" & ".html" files in it and I use
My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.html")it returns all the ".html" files, as expected. But if I useMy.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.htm")it returns ".htm" & ".html" files, when I would expect it to return only the ".htm" files. Is this a bug?
