when you backed up the mydocuments folder did you get it from the desktop or this file path .
C:\Documents and Settings\your User name\mydocuments.

I copy the folder from the desktop. But not the folder icon. Just double click the my document forlder in the Desktop, and then copy the files found in it.

Hi
what do you mean when you say general?
right click and click explore?

Right click on the folder, and select property. After I select property I can only see "General" tab.

Dear Friends,

After copying the files in "My Document" to D drive, I've fomatted C drive and install OS. After the OS instalation and office software installations are done, I've tried open the files from D drive, but it couldn't open it. It tells me that access is denied. When I right click on the file it gives me only the "General". What should I do to open these files.

Dear Colleagues:

I want to separate interface design from its code (in my asp.net school project). So that , I'm trying to use a code-behind using vb.net. For example in my login page I provide the user with username and password input, then handle the user input from lgoin.vb file. But I don't know how to get the values of textbox that are placed in login.aspx file.

How Can access these username and password textbox values in the login.vb code to check the user input. To give u some idea about my code, just see the following simple code:

************************

Dear friends:
I've copy the asp.net code from Unleashed book. I want to use this part of the code to take stored procedure rather than select statment. The stored procedure I write for is this:

*********************************************************
CREATE PROCEDURE authenticatedUser
(
@userName Varchar ( 20 ) ,
@userStatus Varchar (20),
@userPassword Varchar(20),
@jobTitle Varchar(20) Output,
@projectId Varchar(20) Output
)

AS

select projectId, jobTitle
From amcduser
where userName = @userName and userPassword = @userPassword and userStatus = "Active"
GO
*********************************************************

When the Login button is cliked the next event handler (from Asp.Net Unleashed book) will be executed. But I want to use my stored procedure instead of select statment.

How can I do that dear friends.

Dear friends:

How much users Hp ProLiant ML 370 G5 (2 X Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® E5345 (2.33GHz, 1333MHz FSB, 2x4MB L2)) server could support. Now we've 20 clients and we expect number of users rises to 35-55 with in the next 3-4 years. Could this server support that amount of user(client) in the LAN?

Dear Scholars:

In our organization, we've 21 computers and we've been using peer-to-peer network. But now the situation forced as to reqiure to creat client-server environment. In our market (Ethiopia) the is one Dell server supplier. They have PowerEdge SC1420 Dell server, and they are on the way to import PowerEdge 2900.

2900 is very expensive for us to purchase, so we are forced to tend to SC1420. But before all we (specially I) need to know the capacity of this server.

What services we want to get from the server environment are :

- I expect the number of computers in my organization will be 35 within the next 3 years.
- We planned to host our web site on our server
- Share network printers
- Share some database application

I want your advice on the following :

- How many computers PowerEdge SC1420 could support
- is PowerEdge SC1420 capable of supporting 35-40 computers, and capable of providing the service that I list above?

What do you advice me?

Dear colleague:

A HD in my office got a problem. I’ve tried to reinstall windows operating system. It goes to same step and it stops. It prompts three options: One is to press Enter key to proceed with installation, to press “R” key to recover, or to press “F3” to quit installation. But when I press “Enter” key to install the operating system, it displays a message that the HD is not found, and advised me to check the power cable is plugged property.

I’ve taken the HD and check it in my personal Pc, but it doesn’t work. I use it as a slave in my Pc. Now it finds and considers it as slave and displayed as a F: Local disk and G: Local disk. But the HD couldn’t work as a master by itself.

Please tell from your experience how I could make this HD functional again.

Once upon a time I've seen a software that handles company telephone calls, gives different privilages to different staffs and record informations concerned about telephone call.

Now I'm thinking to develop such type of software. But dear colleagues I need to know something from you. Does such software requires assembly language? or Can I perform it using vb.net or any other higher level software without lower level language?

Dear Colleague:

I’m now in the last school term/semester computer science student. Starting from January 2007, I’ll start to work for my senior project, to graduate from my school.

The school has some mandatory criterions that it sets for all senior project working students. These criteria are:
- All projects should be done using object-oriented software engineering and as well using Object-Oriented programming language.
- No one could work his/her project alone and
- The time give is three months, since the usual school term period is three months

Prior to January, I’m preparing my self for the project and know I’m thinking to work on “A publisher software”, that publishes (provides formats or templates) novels, newspapers, and academic books.

Knowledge Background

I have some background about Java and Visual Basic 6. But VB6 is not allowed in the school since it is not fully object-oriented.

Resources Available

I can get visual studio. Net (VB.NET. C#, etc.), Java (JBuider)

My Questions to You

I don’t know which of these tools are more appropriate for developing such type of software application. Even though some of these tools (VB.Net) are not familiar for me, I could tolerate to learn them and work on them if they are more appropriate for such type of project.

Please give me some idea which programming software is much more appropriate for my/our development. I should bring all background works to the group members. …

We might think this would be easy to answer. We might be wrong.

First, we have to look at what Structured and Object Oriented mean.

Object Oriented (from WikiPedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_oriented) is:


Structured Programming is a subset of Procedural Programming (Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_programming). An example is this:

Sounds similar, doesn't it? It is. The major difference is in the language you choose and how you implement these 'things' within the language or framwork. Some languages and frameworks (like .net) are strongly typed Object Oriented languages. EVERYTHING is an object. While a few built-in methods could qualify as procedural, and we often write subroutines that would be indistinguishable from a similar method in a non-OO language, nonetheless in an OO environment we always deal with objects.

Some languages like ADA, C, PL/1, etc, are classical structured languages. Frameworks like dotNet are close to 100% OO.

Which is better? Your call. Depends on what you're planning to do for a living, and which suits you better. You will find strong proponents of both from various fields. Whatever works for you is where you need to be.

Me, I prefer OO. I've done a fair amount of Procedural and Structured as well, but OO seems to make more sense in my daily work.

Hope that helps!

Hello,
I'm having a problem with my computer startup. When the computer boots it stops saying FDC error, press F1 to continue. I get that it means Floppy Disc Controller error, but the funny thing is I don't even have a floppy disc drive. I have a feeling that this might be some deeper problem. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
Thanks.

Find html file in your hard disk and doubl click or enter after selecting it and try to type a URL (web) that you want to visit. If the same problem continues... You may get a solution by reinstall the IE. First remove the IE, by running the "regedit" and then install once more form CD or some other source.

Dear colleage,
Thanks for your support. But let me forward you one solution forwarded from one of our (you and me) friend , a member in this site. His account name is "gemini4". I've used the solution he suggested and I problems are solved by my side

A full format would be the cleanest thing to do but if you don't want to full format...

Go in system properties in control panel and then go to Advanced. Then under Startup and Recovery click Settings. Then under System Startup click Edit. Remove the entry that you want to get rid off.

Quote:
[boot loader]
timeout=3
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Microsoft Windows Recovery Console" /cmdcons


If you would want to get rid of Windows Xp Professional. remove the:


Quote:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect


line.

Reboot the computer and you will not be prompted to choose an installation. Then simply delete the installation folder for the Operating System that you removed. For example if you had XP Pro installed on your d: partition and Home installed on c: and you got rid of Pro remove the d:\windows folder.

A year before when I took Web Design course, my project was a simple email program. I used ASP techno. The program creates text files for each messages the user send. But while the file is created it takes a lot of time or simply it took 100 years. When I asked the instructur he has informed me that the antivirus blocks such file creation. When I uninstall the antivirus the file could be created easily. Is there any other method to overcome this thing?
