Use it with Math.Random, but you'll end up having a senseless password!!

i was thinking that that was the critical function rather than using that as the whole algorithm.
Then create a wrapper that creates a random number between 0 and 61 and returns an lcase, a ucase or a number with equal probability

It is like an automatic generation for an activation code.
Maybe my description as a password was some how wronge

use math.random to create a nuber between 0 and 61
use a switch statement for 0 to 25, 26 to 51, 52 to 61
convert the numbers to letters or numbers using system.convert.tochar(int) and these values ^
loop to create a pwd of required length

Create a char array with all the 'allowed characters'
Call up a random number between 0 and the length of that array for the amount of characters the password should contain.

I think the biggest problem a lot of password generating programs have is that they don't guarantee a strong password. While choosing random characters from a set of predifined values might get you very diversive password, it doesn't mean it always will. So despite using long password, you could still end up with weak ones like 'ifdhgkfsd'. There should be some code to check, if teh generated password meets some special requirements, and possibly do some adjustments. A good example for this is the built-in membership provider for ASP.NET 2.0, which requires you to have at least one non-alphanumerical character in your password. Then again it's not a generator tool, it just checks a given password. I don't mean to stay you need these precautions in every case, however I do mean you should find (or possible write) code that allows usage of similiar features. For example:
public string GetPassword(int length, int minUppercaseLetterCount, int minNumberCount, int minNonAlphanumericalCount)
{
//your code here 
}
Obviously, for simple passwords you would use it like GetPassword(5, 0, 0, 0). And if you ever need strong passwords you can still reuse this function.
I think this smells like an article . Someone should write it. Or maybe I will  .

i thought about this problem. SO i took the function that GUFFA provided and i am trying to implement it in a way to force it to generate some strong password with at least 2 digits in it.

Obviously by writing an article I also meant writing the code, since the article itself would be pretty much the code itself, with some explanation .

You have two options
1 - buy/download a charting control
2 - write the code to draw a chart
Once you have your chart, on a bitmap, you can either draw it in your paint event, or use a picture box

hi,
i have a problem with datagridview sort methode.
i doono whether i can sort datagridview by 2 Columns. there's example
username--------actionType--------filename
user1-----------download----------picture1.tiff
----------------upload------------picture2.jpg
----------------upload------------picture3.tiff
user3-----------download----------file1.txt
----------------download----------file2.txt
admin1----------upload -----------config.cfg
----------------download----------db1.mdb
so there i wanna sort the table by 'filename' and 'username', i mean the order of username Column should not change but the order of 'filename' and the association of 'username' and 'filename' should not change neither.

Use a BindingSource to bind your table to the DataGridView, then use the BindingSource's Sort property to specify the columns and directions to sort. E.g.:
bindingSource.Sort = "username, filename";
You can also specify the direction of the sort, e.g.:
bindingSource.Sort = "username ASC, filename DESC";

You came to the right place.
On these forums you'll find some of the weirdest, rarest, and most funniest programming problems you'll ever meet in your life. Many are high level, but still many are from beginners. Just wait till a question is posted, then try t o think of an answer. Make a dummy project to try out your solutions. When someone does answer and it works compare your solution to his. After sometime you'll know the guys who provide what is usually a "Best Practice" answers from the guys who just screw up thing like me. Stick to them, they will help a lot.
BTW:
If you think your answer is quite good enough why not posting it if no one did? Maybe you'd get sarcasm in the beginning, but don't let that depress you. You'll get a grasp on it soon.
Regards

How can I open a windows service when the service starts.
I tried to open it, it's opened but the controls don't appear and then immediately it becomes "not responding".(Interactive with desktop is checked)
|
|
|
|
|
You can't just double click on the service's exe file for it to run. Either use he Services applet from the Administrative tools, or in your code use the ServiceController class.

Dear All,
I am using XFS API to send commands to ATMs. For example If I want to get the information of Receipt Printer, I am calling the following function..
public class XFS
{
[DllImport(@"msxfs.dll")]
public static extern int WFSGetInfo(ushort SPIHandle, uint Category, IntPtr QueryDetails, uint TimeOut, ref IntPtr result);
}
I want to know that what value of SPIHandle I have to pass.
|
|
|
|
|
you should call WFSOPEN at first
