View 1 RepliesObviously error handling is a major factor in making a good application. If a error happens letting a user know what has gone wrong.But some times error handling may(i think) not be needed. Example.
Private Sub RemoveCheckedl()
Try
For Each Item As ListViewItem In lst.CheckedItems[code]....
also when error handling it's could to think about what type of errors could be made.
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
even though this catches the error and displays a msg, it may not be a great message for the user so he/she can understand.

View 20 RepliesI have 3 arrays setup for use in my program. The first array has item level detail and will have a known number of elements. The second array has more of a table level detail and will have an unknown number of elements that will need to grow as the user enters data The 3rd array will also be of unknown size but matching the second array and will be used for indexing purposes at runtime.The question is what would be the best and hopefully fastest way to keep these arrays as small as needed while being able to add new elements on the fly without rebuilding the entire array. Ideally I would like the code to run as fast as possible in as little memory as possible.

View 2 RepliesI'm just starting to really get into JSON as a tool for my sites. I was showing my friend how I am calling a WS and returning the data, and he asked me about security of passing JSON data to and from a web service as he saw the data from the "POST" (via Firebug). Many of our public facing sites deal with member information and contain PHI.
Can I encrypt the JSON data and then unencrypt it? Is that a good way to go about it to ensure a layer of protection? Or is there another "better/right" way of doing it? Or are his concerns unfounded? how to encrypt or secure the JSON data when needed? Just trying to gather as much knowledge as possible before I go down a path that won't work for the company.

I need to update (well, rewrite really) a SMALL VB6 application which uses ADO to access a JET database, to a vb.net app in Visual Studio 2008. My research suggests that I should use LINQ, but it doesn't seem to be possible to connect to JET. If JET is now deprecated, what should I use? Or should I use ADO.NET without LINQ?
Please don't answer SQL Server! - this needs to be an app that end users can install easily in corporate or non-corporate environments, and must not require any ongoing technical maintenance. I started to install SQL Express, but stopped when it required at least 2 system updates, as that will be far too complex for this little app.
I know how to genrate a serial number using GUID. How can I use it. Suppose I send a CD with the software to someone. I do not want just anyone to use it. They have to have the KEY or SN. How can I impliment it so that if you do not have the s/n / key then you will not be able to install the software.
View 4 RepliesI am still trying to accomplish a tiny flatfile based database. So far everything works fine except for the fact that 'data records' are not sorted alphabetically. My 'data records' are saved in files and their filenames are used as ID. Now all the data are stored iin the files, so, my application reads out the values and adds them to the 'database'. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any way to sort this added data alphabetically by name - everything else works perfectly and I am almost finished, except for the sorting.

My project has the need to build consistent urls similar to the ones here on stackoverflow. I know how I "can" do it by running the string through multiple filters, but I'm wondering if I can do it all with a single method.Basically I want to remove all special characters, and replace them with dashes BUT if there are multiple dashes in a row, I need them to be a single dash. How can I implement this as clean as possible?

View 1 RepliesI've reached the end of my project but I have several unused and not needed .xsd files from trial and error of linking my program to a database. I want to clean up a bit and get rid of them while keeping only the essential files attached to this program. I tried deleting the .xsd files but it seems too ingrained into the program to the point where the program has several errors and just breaks. I have to manually restore the files from the Recycle Bin to get the program to start working again.
What are other solutions to get these files out of the project? I thought about clicking "Exclude From Project" but am afraid of the consequences. I figured I'd check with someone here before taking action.
