 | >There's a big red notice on the login page that says to click here to migrate your old DaniWeb credentials. Not good enough, eh? ;) The only red I see on the login page is the large `google g+` button.   |
| | Before I enrolled in Computer Science at the University of Manitoba I spent several months in Engineering in Saskatoon. It was a hellish time (my first extended time away from home) in a strange city with no friends. I did make one good friend named Hugh Baker. He was the … |
 | What he said. I've been using it for months to share large files between Winnipeg and Long Island. Data is transferred directly (and encrypted) from peer to peer (never appears on a server in the cloud). Transfers, if interrupted, are resumed automatically. It also comes in a free version.  |
 | Make a new extension (you can check [filext.com](http://filext.com/) to make up one that is probably not in use) then when you double click on it you can tell Windows to use your app to open it.  |
| | This is a question for the Daniweb members from the UK. In North America we have seen a number of Americanized versions of British comedies. "Til Death Do Us Part" became "All in the Family". "Steptoe & Son" became "Sanford & Son", "Man About the House" became (the much inferior) … |
 | Your code does not work. It doesn't just run incorrectly. It doesn't run at all. I think a rewrite is in order. Start with pseudo-code as in welcome user (get name) generate random number done = false do ask user for a number select case too low "too low - … |
 | I get "404 not found" when I click on the attachment. And, never having used Tampermonkey or Greasemonkey, what advantage does the script have over putting a link on my bookmark bar? |
 | If the file isn't encrypted (you did not specify) then they have access to the entire contents. I the file is encrypted but the file name is not then perhaps inferences can be made from the file name. |

 | Once you have done the upgrade to Windows 10 your computer is registered with some sort of digital ID with Microsoft. At that point you can do a clean re-install of Windows 10 and you will be automatically recognized as legitimate.  |
| | Before you ask, this is after completely clearing the cache and all history. I am now posting in Firefox because the response in Chrome is essentially unworkable. Going from page to page or making a post generally results in a timeout (This site cannot be reached. Daniweb took too long … |
 | Go the the machine on which the code works. On the line of code just prior to opening the connection, add the following line (I'm going to assume your connection object is called conn. If not then replace it with the actual object name) Debug.WriteLine(conn.ConnectionString) Post the output of that …  |
| | In Chrome, when I scroll to the bottom of a forum and click **Mark Forum Read**, it just scrolls me back to the top of the page and does not actually mark as read. It works as expected, however, in Firefox. I used to see this behaviour if I clicked …  |
 | Re: Dazah??? When I tried to set up a Dazah account with the name "Reverend Jim" and this email address I got "Unique value Required" for the email. Just for the heck of it I tried a password resed on rjdegraff@shaw.ca one more time (last time I got an invalid link emailed … |
 | Re: Hello there! Please to meet you. You'll find me mainly in the vb.net forum. Hope to see you there. |
| | I am sure you are still looking into this, but my inbox has 17 pages of messages that I just can't clear out. |
 | There was a major rollout of the Daniweb code base recently so there will be some bumps as Dani irons out the bugs. Please be patient. |
| | Sounds like homework to me and we don't do homework. |
 | Recursion is not an appropriate solution for this problem. |
| | Sometimes there are functions you want your program to perform in the background while you are busy doing other things. For example, if you are building a picture viewer application you may not want to wait until thumbnails are generated before getting on with the business of viewing the pictures. … |
| | Sounds an awful lot like a homework assignment. We don't do homework. |
 | I still have XP running on an old (really old) IBM Thinkpad. I need XP because there are no newer drivers for my Plextor TV Tuner. Other than that I don't miss it. I still have an XP virtual machine if the need arises. |
 | Unrelated suggestion - in some databases, `password` is a reserved word. You may want to specify it in the query as `[password]`. It may work in some databases but if you switch to another database it may throw an error. |
| | He's not the droid we're looking for (Anthony Daniels = C3PO).  |
| | Most threads are tagged (all new threads must be tagged). Type one or more keywords in `Search` then click the magnifying glass. Some areas that used to have their own forum (such as `geeks-lounge`) can now be found using the old forum name as the tag. |
| | Quick note - Notepad is the simple editor that comes with Windows. Textpad is a much more feature rich editor sold by Helios Software ([url]www.textpad.com[/url]) and should not be maligned by mistaking it for Notepad. I'm just sayin' |
| | I agree with everything except the last sentence. Doing what you said does not make someone a programmer any more than nailing two boards together makes someone a carpenter. Even building a birdhouse doesn't get you there. One of the biggest problems in the industry is that anyone can call … |
| | In another typical news day we are told that a "Major New Study Reveals Cellphone Radiation Causes Cancer." If, like most people, you react to headlines, your first (perhaps only) thought is "HOLY SHIT!!!". The news story begins with: >The $25 million study, conducted over two and a half years … |
| | What error are you getting? What line is throwing the error? There are a thousand ways that a program can "not work". |
| | |
| | Can't say what you are doing wrong unless you show us the code you are running. We are not going to just give you the solution. |
| | I have been using [AutoHotKey](https://autohotkey.com/) for quite some time and I have found it to be invaluable for enhancing Windows 7/10 functionality. I thought I'd post a couple of useful scripts here. Windows 10 has a desktop feature that lets you hide/show your desktop icons. I prefer a clutter-free desktop … |

 | Have a look at [Equalizer APO](https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/). I've been using it for a few years. |
| | Re: Help .. I'm new `Product_Name` is defined as an int and you are trying to assign a string to it. My C is a little rusty but it seems to me that you want to declare `Product_Name` as a char array and use `strcpy` to copy a string value to it, or declare it … |

 | I am not a fan of special case programming. It clutters up the code. Why not create an empty file outside the loop and then just append all of the files? That way you don't need separate code for "first file" and "all of the other files". |
| | >silly UI bugs? The only bugs I would classify as "silly" are the ones that the developer should have caught himself before passing the system on to the testers, in other words, the ones that *the developer* should feel silly for not having spotted early on. What, exactly, do you … |
| | The trouble with posting sqlCommand = "INSERT INTO Personss (names, contactnumero, emailadds, pages, projects, agents, sources, months, days, years, times, agents1, transactions, months1, days1, years1, times1, agents2, transactions1, months2, days2, years2, times2, agents3, months3, days3, years3, remarks, months4, days4, years5, remarks1, months5, days5, years5, remarks2 ) VALUES ('" & txtbname.Text … |
| | They can be udeful when working from the command line. `con` is the console device. `cat` lists the contents of a file to the console. If you `cat` and redirect input from the console then `cat` will display everything you type. Not a useful example but still an example. D:\>cat … |
| | Re: Water Billing Sorry. We won't do your homework for you. You have to show some effort first. When you have specific questions then you can post them.  |
| | In boolean expressions, any non-zero value evaluates as True. Zero evaluates as False so if(cmp_str5 == 0 || cmp_str6) actually means if cmp_str5 is zero or cmp_str6 is not zero That's how loops like `while (*w)` work for strings. |
| | A quick recap on a Dell Inspiron I bought in December 2014. So far I have had a video problem that was caused by the Dell Tech installing a bad driver while trying to fix a bad USB 3 port problem. I had to send the unit back to Dell …  |
 | Another possibility is to build a liveCD on an external haard drive. I did this with kubuntu and picked the option to allow perseverence (so I could install apps, make changes, etc.). You can boot into the liveCD and pick the "try" instead of "install" option.  |
| | |
| | I'm not clear on what you want. Perhaps you can post a sample input file with all of the possible variants and an example of how that data will look when displayed after filtering. That will probably be clearer than an explnation. In the mean time you can simplify your … |
| | You can't be bothered to describe the problem you are having or even take the time to provide a clear thread title. All you have done is post a whack of uncommented code. And you expect someone here to take the time to decipher it, determine what you are trying … |
| | Change it to Dim cmd As String = " UPDATE Pension_Master SET l_cer='" & l_cer & "',validfrom=convert(datetime,'" & validfrom.Date & "',101)," & _ "validto=convert(datetime,'" & validto.Date & "',101) WHERE ppo_no = ' " & TextBox1.Text & "'" Debug.WriteLine(cmd) and post the output here. You might also try (before doing the … |
| | [This code snippet](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/software-development/code/445801/use-parameterized-queries-to-avoid-sql-injection-attacks) shows how to get data from a database using SQLDB and OLEDB tpe connections. Both examples display the results in a ListView. They also use parameterized queries (strongly recommended). |
 | Start with just about any other language. I suggest Python, or if you want a GUI, vb.net or C#.net.  |
The End.
