Very interesting. When I worked at Credit Suisse from 2001 to 2007, we used SQL Server and Sybase. However, our DBA groups handled all of the issues so we were not affected by them. Nonetheless, we never ran into problems when using either.
I have used SQL Server at quite a few companies, where basically I had to do DBA work as well and still found no issues working with this database engine.
As I mentioned previously, I cannot say for any version after 2008.
Up until 2008, I had worked with SQL Server since 6.5.

You firewall anything enough it's "secure" - at least until it isn't.
probably were running strictly DMZ'd servers. We made the mistake of proxying into the DB behind our cisco firewall, because microsoft advertised that the DB could serve pages. We had some management pages coming off of SQL server, and that's how they got in. If I remember right, there were buffer overrun exploits in the sqlxml processing back then, but like I said it has been 20 years now.
We weren't the only ones affected, like i said.

I seem to remember something about SQL Server possibly serving up web pages. I think that is what you are referring to.
I never knew anyone who tried that...

We had it so we could log in, tune certain site settings, and do some maintenance stuff. it wasn't anything that would break the site, even if they broke our login somehow. they didn't get it that way. they got it deeper in the stack through some kind of malformed SQLXML request
Edit: and yes, that's what I'm talking about.

Cool! Thanks. It wouldn't have solved my problem in this particular scenario (it was a client that triggered the update on their machine 3,000 miles away which basically ended our session for the day) but it will certainly help me down the road.

Stress testing my "military map maneuvering" game. Had all 585 infantry and cavalry regiments and gun batteries (user controls) all moving at the same time (20 fps), and no sweat. CPU steady at 7%. And gun batteries usually don't move.
I'd think you would get similar results with WPF.

I think I'm on Win 2.7, and it sounds like there's still a 2.8 in prerelase. So, what do I get for .2?

Did you write your app in WinUI3?
|
|
|
|
|
I wouldn't class it as WinUI3; except I'm not really sure what WinUI3 looks like. I have the sample app for Win3UI controls but all the controls looks the same as mine. The app runs on PC's, my 1st gen Surface Go (side loading), Xbox, should run on ARM, and can be distributed through the Store. So, haven't felt any urgency to pursue Win3UI (yet).

For my "file system", I've been compressing and creating resource files (tables, dictionaries, etc).
I serialize and deserialize run time data to local and roaming storage.
I think using local storage file system requires user acceptance, which I haven't needed for my apps.

I mean access to the whole file system.. like any normal desktop games...
It's not much of a problem, you can store private file in the area authorized to UWP app... but I am working (home project) on a sort of document editor, need to access normal files without hassle...

|
|

I have .Net Framework 2.x ddls that I call from UWP during development that pull in any "whole system files" used by the app (versus any content / resources).
Those few statements tying it in / excluding it are handled with compiler directives (development versus final distribution).

Again? I don't know if you are the same one, but...
Short answer in case you are not the same guy:
Expugned and not convicted, there probably is not even a record. There shouldn't be any problem. If you are good programming, you'll get a job.

So you think you are going to get a better discussion than The Lounge[^] this - sounds like trolling to me as you did not want to listen to any of the advice given last time you posted this message.

HE DID. Look up expunged in a dictionary. If you're still unsure, talk to an attorney.
That said, I really don't think you need to worry about anything. Arrests are not reported. Convictions are.

And what makes you say that?

Because convictions are what's recorded, not a simple arrest.
Maybe you don't have the smarts to be a developer if you're asking this kind of question without using google first.
