I just stumbled over roy’s post and i think it would make sense to use smth like that as a capcha solution.

Pierre posted an entry bout impersonation in ASP.NET szenarios. There are several scenario where you have to use the impersonation in ASP.NET. Consider, for example, you have to save and load files from a network share (file server). In that case, if the web site accept anonymous authentications, you have to impersonate a windows user who has enought privileges to access to that resource. You have three choices (I guess):

After quite an amount of time, work and effort, that it had cost to realize my ideas I’m proud to present together with Stephan Oetzel to you an extra large community event: Nach einer ganzen Menge Zeit, Arbeit und Anstrengung die es gekostet hat meine Idee zu realisieren bin ich nun stolz zusammen mit Stephan Oetzel eine Community Event der Superlative zu präsentieren: And here is the lineup: Christian Weyerthinktecture], Michael Willers newtelligence, Jörg M.

Ok, here is another one: I add a login to my database server: EXEC sp_addlogin @Username, @Password, @Database; This works fine! I add a user, to a database by using the stored prcedure sp_adduser: Use [MyDB]; EXEC sp_adduser @Username; This also works fine! I want to remove the user from the database. Therefore I use the stored procedure sp_dropuser: EXEC sp_dropuser @Username; This removes the user BUT what you’ll see while digging deeper is that sp_adduser has created an SCHEMA and sp_dropuser don’t cares a s%#t about that - it’s still there after calling sp_dropuser :-(

First of all … wow, yeah, the IDE of SQL Server 2005 is pretty nice with all those grafics and animations but It’s more than anoying that i can not paste multiline text into a column of a table opened via right-click | Open Table NOTE: It is possible to add multi-line-texts via an insert/update script - but hey, that takes me 10-30 seconds longer … raise your hands if ya wanna pay me for that.

public static bool IsWebInDebugMode{ get { bool _isDebug = false; if(HttpContext.Current.Cache["IsDebug"] == null) { XmlDocument _doc = new XmlDocument(); string _cfgfile = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Web.Config"); _doc.Load(_cfgfile); XmlNode _node = _doc.SelectSingleNode("configuration/system.web/compilation"); if(_node==null || _node.Attributes["debug"]==null || _node.Attributes["debug"].Value.ToLower()!="true") { _isDebug = false; } else { _isDebug = true; } HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("IsDebug", _isDebug, new System.Web.Caching.CacheDependency(_cfgfile), DateTime.Now.AddDays(1), TimeSpan.Zero); } else { _isDebug = bool.Parse(HttpContext.Current.Cache["IsDebug"].ToString()); } return _isDebug; } }

Via Willem Odendaal I opend the following web site http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/forms.html#frmget. It holds an interesting collection of bookmarklets (Javascript commands that can be saved as bookmarks so they can be applied to every page that is opend in your browser). For example: “remove MaxLength” … shows how important it is to use ASP.NET Validation Controls in your Web Applications.

It’s happening again. Michael and I are back on tour for TornadoCamp Xpress, the .NET 2.0 event of newtelligence. Today we started. We meet Michal K. of Microsoft, he’s a nice and smart guy, our local contact and I’m doing this post right in the middle of our C# 2.0 HOL. I miss my familiy @ home - love ya! cu soon. Cheers to the rest out there.

While re-writing a few WebServices for .NET 2.0 i ran across following: ... public static void WaitProc(object state, bool timedOut) { MyAsyncResult myAsyncResult = (MyAsyncResult)state; myAsyncResult.OriginalCallback.Invoke(myAsyncResult); } ... This compiles without any problems in Visual Studio .NET 2003 but makes the compiler scream (Invoke cannot be called directly on a delegate) untill you change the lines to the following: ... public static void WaitProc(object state, bool timedOut) { MyAsyncResult myAsyncResult = (MyAsyncResult)state; myAsyncResult.

If you have installed previous versions of Visual Studio 2005, such as Beta 1 or Community Technical Preview (CTP) builds of Visual Studio Team Suite, Visual Studio Standard or Visual Studio Professional, then you must uninstall the pre-Beta2 components in the exact order below before beginning to install any version of Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. Go to the Control Panel and launch Add/Remove Programs Remove “Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional” or other related IDE installs such as (Visual Studio Professional/Standard/Enterprise Architect/Team Suite, etc.

Miroslaw Maslyk has sent this small tutorial on how to use iFused with the FCKEditor. Thank you very much Miro ;-) Rename file FCKeditor\editor\dialog\fck_image.html to fck_image.aspx. On the top this file (fck_image.aspx) add this code: <%@ Page Language="C#" %> <%@ Register TagPrefix="Uploader" namespace="StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls" assembly="StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialog" %> <script runat="server"> protected void Page_Load(Object source, EventArgs e) { StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialogButton _u = new StaticDust.Web.UI.Controls.UploadDialogButton(); _u.UploadDirectory = "~/images"; _u.ReturnFunction = "SetUrl()"; btnBrowse.Attributes["OnClick"] = "javascript:" + _u.JavascriptLink; } </script> Find btnBrowse input html tag , add runat=“server” attribute and close tag (/>)

Yesterday I arrived in Frankfurt with a delay of 2 hours (thanks to the Deutsche Bahn). Monday is Workshop day and so I just sat arround and did the same stuff that I would normally do in the office. I’m currently working on an ASP.NET project that uses v. 1.1 but will be converted to 2.0 with it’s “Go-Live”. So I need to make sure that I don’t do things that will stand in the way in the next version.

I joined newtelligence® AG last year for a practical course, Clemens and I mentioned that in our blogs before. I had a wonderful time so far (and I’m sure it’ll continue), nice collegues (I’ll link only the bloggers Clemens, Joerg and Michael), new challenges and interesting task, talks and times. Today it’s official: From today on i’m a “Software Engineer” for newtelligence® AG.

[Dino Esposito] …Introduced with ASP.NET 1.1, ViewStateUserKey is a string property on the Page class that only few developers admit to be familiar with. Why? Let’s read what the documentation has to say about it. void Page_Init (object sender, EventArgs e) { ViewStateUserKey = Session.SessionID; } There will be a few more that are familiar with that now :-)

Thomas Freudenberg, a friend of mine and member of my usergroup, has started a interesting discussion about .Text (a blogengine) and it’s future. He had a lot of feedback on that and posted another entry to clear up things a bit. It came out that he is not the only one asking ‘Where’s .Text going to?’. All I can tell you is: if you are not satisfied - use dasBlog ;-)

I currently working again on iFused (Internet File Upload Select and image Editing Dialog). Yesterday i released the version 2.3.1.10088: support for “~” as palceholder for the application path code optimization performance optimization I have a lot of things to do on based on the wishlist and loads of mail in my inbox. This is what i plan to catch until 1st. of february: Use physical path outside of the application root as UploadDirectory Database as source for files and directorys

Stephan posted “Tool der Woche” (tool of the week) - T.YogaRamanan has posted some code that allows undelete in NTFS on codeproject.com

I found this: input[type="button"] { color: red; } over here and like other guys (see feedback) i’ve never gooled for it - thx.

DotNerGerman (my blog is also hosted there) offers a MainFeed of german Bloggers (Dirk Primbs, Dieter Föttinger, Alexander Zeitler, Damir Tomičić, Stephan Troxler, Thomas Bandt, Uwe Bauman, Bernd Spuida, Roman Pittroff, Jens Meyer, …) and german bloggers blogging in english for example Christoph Wille and me, Daniel Fisher(lennybacon). So have a look!

Mike Hall likes ASCII Art … http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2004/12/28/341038.aspx

What i really like about the days between x-mas and new year is that you have time for things that you usually don’t have time for. The stroy: I love my girlfriend. I likle C# and I like asciiart. So it happend that she showed me some ascii’s. I asked myself if somebody has written some image to ascii in C#. I googled but found nothing. I did some image manipulation stuff for the company before x-mas and so I builded a basic image to ascii conversion library in C#.
