I'm new to web services in ASP.NET. Been trying to get my head around it recently. Here are my questions. 1. The Web Service item (.asmx that you can add to your project in Visual Studio), does that only generate an XML service (generate XML output)? What about JSON? 2. When I add a web...

I'm trying to input into the console multiple lines of text. Once I press ENTER and type text, I want to be able to go back (move the cursor) to the previous line before hitting enter - sort of like a mini-editor in the console. This is for a quick email program that I'm putting together in Perl...

Thanks for the reply. Yeap, I can ping the virtual box from my physical box. The virtual box has an IP address from the network. The IP that the virtual box gets is from the DHCP Server, not the VM DHCP. From the virtual box, I cannot ping anything on the network it seems.

I have a strange problem from just a few days ago, I lost internet access on my WindowsXP VM. I had it setup bridged directly to the physical network. It had it's own IP (172.16.x.x) address. It was working until this past Monday where I couldn't access the Internet anymore. I've looked at it's...

Thanks for the great advice, people! I will look further into performance tuning. I do agree that Red-Gate has a great toolkit - it's why use daily. SQL Compare is a part of this project. JoeAtWork, the work we've been doing so far entails a 3-tier architecture. The aim of this project is...

Hey guys, My company is undertaking a database optimization project. Optimization the schema, the code, etc. I would like to ask, if you guys could help out, the following: 1. What risks are there? What are the pitfalls? 2. My company is hesitant to do a database freeze and stop all new...

Gotcha. I thought there'd be a simpler solution than that. =P My publisher is stressing to give them a 300dpi image. I'll see if we can lower that. Thanks again!

Hi Everyone. I want to take a screenshot and print it under 300 resolution, but everytime I paste it into Photoshop (after I take the screenshot via CONTROL+PRINTSCREEN button), it comes out as 3x2 inches, which is too small. I would like it to be 6x7 inches, but the only way I can think to do...

I would like to create an address book application and need a way to store information other than through a database/odbc. I've seen programs that store all their information in a single file. It usually is in a non-readable format and not something like XML. My question is, how do I create a...

I tried this in MySQL without luck either.

Here's my query. It's for an access db - I'm trying to return both columns, the product id and productdate, order it by productdate, and have no duplicate records based on productid. Is this possible? I'm was using distinct before, without luck. I removed it, but nothing still. Here's the...

Thanks for the response. What kind of web site did you run? Was it commercial? I'm really concerned how much load it can handle. What version of Windows? NT/2000? A lot of our developers come from the Microsoft world, so we would develop the application a lot faster if it was made in ASP...

Thanks for the replies. Tarwin, great articles. Read all of them. The reason why I said MySQL was less functional was because at the time that I was using it, it didn't support stored procedures and subselects, which are features I heavily rely on. I hear on 4.x they added those features in, but...

I'm curious to know if anyone has any idea how MySQL goes with ASP (or any other language) on a Windows machine, production wise. Our website contains static pages and we're planning on making them dynamic. Cost is an issue. If anyone knows how well MySQL performs on WinNT or knows of issues...
