You're looking at an issue of object persistence, more than likely.

When you close the form, the object that the form represents, including all members included in it, are disposed. More than likely, you'll want to serialize the information in a temp file, or something like that.

That'd be my guess. I'd really like to know if there's something better.

You cannot execute a class file.
You cannot execute an ASP.NET page in command prompt.

The only way you could "execute" a class file in Command Prompt, you'd have to write a console application that includes your class file as a reference, and uses the class in the file.

Similarly, if you have a code-behind file with your ASP.NET page, you could copy the contents of that file into a class file, and with some minor modifications, you could probably perform the same technique.

Thank you. That was exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for :)

I'm not going through everything or even in detail with it. This thread wasn't started to have a language war.

One example:

If x = 2 Then
  'blah blah
End If

Besides the really old if-then-end if syntanx, what happens if you do the same in about any other language not in .NET platform? I've seen this billions of times. It can occur as an accidental misstype or in a lot of cases from .NET programmers especially vb.

I'm not asking to start a language war-- I know full well how not to do that :D

I understand the example that you provided. Every language has examples of that-- little "gotchas" that you have to watch out for. C#, a .NET language, does not allow you to do that in an if loop. (It throws a warning/error) I'm genuinely asking for an opinion on a language/language family, and what drawbacks/limitations it may have. If it really takes the thread far off-topic, I'll split it out, but I think if you make a comment to avoid a particular framework, you owe it to provide a good explanation if someone questions. I really think that the original poster would benefit from such an exposition.

The .NET framework has a lot of handy and powerful classes/libraries. I think it's simple enough that you could learn basic syntax and programming technique, but it's powerful enough that you don't have to simply drop the language once you really need to start getting work …

First, don't mess with Slocket adapters. They don't work a lot of times.

The ECS board you showed would work just fine. But, I can tell you this-- SDRAM will severely throttle the capability of that processor. I remember running some of the first P4 systems that used PC133 RAM, and you may as well used a P3 still.

Your computer would be faster, yes, but I think you'll be surprised that it's not all that much faster. If you have another system that could use the SDRAM you've got, I suggest putting it in that system, and then moving to a platform that might allow you to use that Socket 478 system with DDR Ram, to fully utilize the speed that P4 can produce.

HJT logs belong in the Viruses forum, but I'm pretty certain that you don't have a virus or spyware causing this.

Click Start, then Run, type in cmd and click OK. When in the Command Prompt, type in ipconfig /all . Under Local Area Connection, let me know what the IP address is there. Also, while you're there, see what running this command gives you:

ipconfig /renew *

I'm not entirely sure what exactly you're asking, here.

From a legal standpoint, if a company does things to your computer without your consent, like install spyware, that's illegal. If you checked a box or clicked "Yes" to a license agreement, that's enough to count as consent, though.

The partnerships that you mentioned are entirely legal, and the practices those companies take part in are entirely legal in themselves. It's perfectly acceptable for companies to share marketing data with one another; if you have given consent to a program to gather marketing data and provide it to the company, you're part of the scheme.

More than likely, your ATI video card is not actually being utilized to perform any type of task. If something was downloaded called ATI-Tools, and it's not actually from ATI, it could be attached to some accessory software, or it could use the elevated priviledge afforded to driver software to gain a different level of access to your system RAM, or something.

No offense, but you might want to study up on how components in a system interact. Your post comes off as a bit of conspiracy theory which I, as a member of the computer industry, am pretty certain does not exist. If you'd like to clarify some of your questions or request, please do so; otherwise, we can address some of your more specific concerns. I stick to these three points:

• If you agree to allow it to happen, …

Rumba is a Terminal services software, like Citrix or Remote desktop in XP.

I guess theoretically you could bypass a proxy with it, but discussion of such things is not acceptable on this forum. The proxy at your site was put in place for good reason by your site admin, so don't fool around with it. Besides, a good admin would block unauthorized terminal services applications, too.

Exactly what do you want to do with this software?

Did you do a clean OS Reinstall?

If the setting isn't holding, it could be user profile corruption. Create a new user account in the User Accounts control panel, and log into it. See if it happens in this new account. If it does do it in the new account, you could actually have a stuck SHIFT key :)

More than likely it's some kind of user profiles setting.

You could try going into RegEdit, and looking around in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ hive and locating any Yahoo! or SBC folders. once you find them, delete them.

Trust me-- it's not going to hurt anything it's very important to not just monkey around in the registry, but if you've been told where to go, then you'll be OK. If all else fails, I'll bet creating a new user account and moving all of your files over to that account will put you in an environment where this issue doesn't happen.

Can you shoot us a HiJackThis log? Perhaps that will list what or where Sample is located, and might give us a hint on how to disable it.

well i think if your running a game, the whole card is dedicated to the game, if your just using the desktop, then the whole card is dedicated to the desktop, you know what i'm saying?

That's the ticket-- when you're playing a game, the textures and models for the 3D GUI aren't actually loaded. It wouldn't make sense to devote so much memory to something that you wouldn't immediately be using, would it?

Winfixer is a pretty nasty piece of malware. Moving this thread to the Spyware forum for better attention.

Did you check the version cue logs, like the error message says?

Usually when there are no responses to a thread, nobody knows an answer, not yet, at least. Meanwhile, you at least have a suggestion in the error message to try-- perhaps something in the logs might give you more information.

Until we find that better place (I'm not sure if this is better in the Webmaster forum, or what), what type of tools did you use?

The thing is, it's probably not some easy fix. I'll bet your tool is using some non-standard HTML/Javascript/AJAX stuff that doesn't work in either browser. You could try posting the source code to your page-- that might get the attention of someone who can help :)

I wasn't just referring to the Editor when I said stay away from .NET from the get go. The general syntax and way of doing things is just way to easy and gives the misconception that all languages are that easy and will make you lazy... Doesn't work that way for everyone, but I've seen it happen too often.

Don't take this like I'm drilling you or anything, but can you please cite a specific example of the phenomena you're describing? Some main differences I've seen is a lack of required garbage collection, and the fact that the .NET framework allows you to write modules in one .NET language usable in another .NET language. C# is really similar to Java, and it's not that far off from C++ . In fact, the syntax is not all that different from Perl or PHP. If you can understand VB.NET, you could probably understand Python fairly well, or even Ruby.

I don't entirely think that the choice of language makes someone "lazy", neccesarily. I like the fact that I don't have to fool around with garbage collection, for instance-- that allows me to focus more on my programming logic, and not mundane housekeeping. What "way of doing things" makes a .NET language any different from another non-.NET language?

I'm genuinely curious. If anyone else wants to weigh in, I'd be really glad to hear. I'm open to any feedback that's presented.

Halo 2 only for Vista? You sure? I mean if they did that, there really won't be any sales of Halo2 and Vista. Not many ppl will upgrade to Vista immediately.

I can confirm this, at least anecdotally. Halo 2 will require DirectX 10, and Microsoft has stated they have no plans to release DX10 for anything other than Vista...

My question is this: Does it actually require some feature of DX10, or is this just some arbitrary versioning trick, just to make us need Vista?

did you format your hard drive prior to installing Windows? How big is your drive?

This advice sounds better than mine, actually.

Soth, could you go into a little more detail on this approach? I'll be the first to admit I'm not a C# expert, and I'm always interested in learning more.

If you're just starting out then don't go for .NET right away and stay away from tools that will make you lazy until you actually get a good feel for doing it without the added cushion.

I'd have to disagree here.

You could most certainly use a .NET language (C#/VB.NET/C++) and not use Visual Studio. In fact, I could fire up Notepad, write some C# code, save the file as myprogram.cs, and then feed it to csc.exe. and compile it into an executable form. If you want to learn the nitty-gritty of the language's syntax, you can do it without Visual Studio.

In that respect, it's not that different from say, learning C in a text editor and then compiling using gcc. In my opinion, though, using an IDE like Visual Studio when learning can yield a great benefit-- rather than focusing on the syntax so heavily, you could then focus on learning fundamental object oriented programming concepts. Such concepts illustrate the power of languages like C#,VB.NET, and Java, but many new programmers don't utilize the features, because they feel they're too difficult to grasp.

No, I didn't get the prices wrong...
That same hardware would cost upwards of €1500 here, which when converted to dollars comes nearly at $2000.

Looking at the prices posted by vicec64, I don't see any discrepancy. Where are you getting your prices from? vicec64 was using Newegg.

I think the config you posted is pretty great, but I think it overlooks the fact that you could scrimp on the monitor, and get a faster CPU.

I'm no big fan of overclocking-- I picked up a used 19" Dell Trinitron for $70 shipped on eBay. The display is PERFECT-- no problems with it whatsoever. So, I could save $169 on the monitor, and either beef up the CPU (no longer need to OC), Graphics, or add more RAM. Or, that would take me just under the $1000 threshold for your price :D

$7500 is a bit steep. Seems to me like you could get a C-Band satellite and service for that price and get loads more channels...

Yeah...

Just send it back. They have their ways. If it's a BIOS password, it can be unlocked. If it's a Windows password, the drive can be wiped. Besides, it's a prototype system-- it's not like they're going to use it for something else, anyways...

I was going to do a beta test but decided against it. Windows + Beta = Trouble. Mite do in the future if I can get a spare PC. Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but has anyone tried it over Microsofts Virtual PC? I heard somewhere that it does work but im not to sure.

I've run it in both Virtual PC and in VMWare. I had an extra 1GB of RAM I could devote to it while running in the virtual machine. Performance isn't all that great, and that makes sense, considering how heavily Vista uses the graphics hardware to do Window rendering. (Virtual PC can't use the graphics hardware directly-- it has to use an emulated driver)

Google found a lot of links on this issue:

Hope that helps.

What are you wanting to do exactly? Specifically, do you have a question regarding a portion of the code?

Again, I have to agree. Closing this thread.

This is strike 2. If I find one more post from you asking flat out for us to do your homework for you, I'll have to unsheath THE BANBLADE!!!!

I'm sorry (not really), but the best way to get your butt ignored is to copy and paste your homework like that. It implies that you think we're obligated to do everything for you, which we aren't. That's very presumptuous and incredibly rude.

I concur.

I think it's rude enough that I'm going to close the thread. Please read the notices posted at the top of the forum regarding asking homework questions. Refine your question to conform to those guidelines, and repost.

Thanks.

How is the variable getting changed?

One simple way I can think of is just to make a class to encapsulate your variable as a property. Then, you could make an event trigger every time the variable was changed, and have that update the value of the textbox.

Sorry.

We do not do your work for you. Please post some code, and we'll help troubleshoot it.

Incidentally, if you search our forums, you'll probably find some examples of an ASP.NET login page.

Chances are it's not going to work, at least not with AOL 9.0.

The problem is with the fact that you need a 64-bit version driver for things like the WAN Miniport. Otherwise, you're stuck with kludges like the one you developed to get it working.

Why are you still running AOL, anyways? No offense.

Chances are you won't be able to do it. MythTV is built for the X86 platform, and IIRC, TiVo's don't use an x86 processor (I think it's MIPS, not sure).

Before you even looked at MythTV, you'd have to get a fully functioning Linux distro on the machine. Then, you *might* be able to build it from scratch.

This thing has actually been around for a while, IIRC.

I recall seeing this on TechTV's old Fresh Gear show a few years ago, back when TechTV was still TechTV...

Should be plenty of them here, if I recall correctly.

Come on guys, let this cat know!

I think what tgreer's getting at is that you have to have some backend code to actually do anything with the value. The value of the control gets submitted on the page postback. What happens with the variable all has to do with backend stuff. In tgreer's example, he was using client-side JavaScript.

What platform are you working on? Are you using Perl? Python? ASP? Once you've got the value, you have to do something with it, and how you reference that value depends on what you want.

i seem to remember i did that with a batch file in dos

What?

No offense, but that's one of the most useless suggestions I've ever heard.

If you keep this up, I'm going to deem you a troll, and ban you.

You'll probably need to download it locally, modify it, and then re-upload it.

Yeah, this is pretty nifty nostalgia. Where'd you score a copy of that?

x64 does run faster on my new system than the 32bit version. I'm not running the beta, either. But, I have run into the same issues of lack of drivers.

All in all, you'll be able to run the 32 bit stuff you want to, but it won't be any faster than it would have been in Windows 32-bit.

Seriously, you overreacted.

I don't mean to be rude, but did you even try a Google search with that error?

http://www.google.com/search?hs=06H&hl=en&lr=lang_en&safe=active&c2coff=1&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%22The+machine+wide+default+Launch+and+activation+security+descriptor+is+invalid.%22&btnG=Search

This could have been caused by an installation of Office, or any number of things. It's not indicitive of hardware failure, or anything, and it is most likely due to software. Honestly, it was an error you could have ignored.

Was that error log keeping you from doing something on your system? If you don't really know what the error message means, don't do anything so premature as returning a perfectly functioning system without researching the error message and putting it into the correct context.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Be advised that C# and Java do the same things, mostly. Is there something specific that you need Java or C# for that would cause you not to use one explicitly?

If you were talking web applications, you could definitely do things with XML/SOAP to talk between a Java application and a C# application. That's about the only thing that you can do, though-- there's not really an API that I'm aware of that you can use to make the two interact.

You probably need to trigger an event to save the state of your ListView.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.tabcontrol.aspx

There are a number of events that are triggered when you enter and leave tabcontrols, and you could probably set up a delegate for one of those events to save the backcolor of the item in a persistent object.

I'm not entirely sure on too many of the points of your question, but I do at least know that to show a form, you simply use the Show() method.

Form e = new Form();
e.Show();

Simple as that. Does that help any?

Before you even look into doing that, you might want to look at licensing repercussions of doing that. I'm pretty certain Macromedia/Adobe has terms that prohibit distribution of their software except from their website.

You've called them with the exact model of your video card and the exact model of your system, and they've not told you the exact price? That's a bit odd...

Can you take these LCD panels and try them at a different location? That would ensure that you don't have a power issue.

Can you doublecheck that card model? You just go from the Support and Downloads section to pull that driver down. The trick is you just need to know what the exact card model is.

You probably need to set your external display as your primary monitor. That enables the overlay function to work on that display.

Usually, you're not able to watch AVI's or WMV's on more than one display at one time, only the primary one.
