Have you considered creating a web service for this? You could create one in PHP and simply automate these steps in the web service. All you'd have to do in C# is submit any files or any other data...

Codding Horror is by far the most interesting blog for software developers :) Full of good info indeed.

Have you done any normalization to your database? If so, this may be a way to make your process better structured. Instead of including Fileowner in your File table, create a 1:N (Many) relationship...

That's a weird way you're using to designing an application heh. Here is how i would go about it if it's a fairly small project. First thing you need to do is layout your requirements. Write down...

Have you considered using triggers?

Well, you could create a 2D array to resemble the grid. When someone clicks on the mouse, you could take the mouse pointer (relative to the window not the screen) and convert it to the position in...

I'm not even going to argue with you on this. Managed code comes with stability along with an overhead coming out of providing that stability. If you don't believe me, go back and look at your...

It's designed for a managed platform. That doesn't mean you can't write unmanaged code. You can still write your assembler and use pointers, but that isn't the aim of the .net platform.

C# is the microsoft's version of Java and C++ mix. It's designed for a managed platform. It's more stable, better structured but slower. I think there is managed C++ nowdays, but i've never used it.
