What kind of timeframe do you need to hang on to the cleartext? Can you just hold it in memory for the duration of the session with the "less secure" server - handing it out to the serial box when necessary?
Otherwise if you have to persist it at all, then I agree with the obscurity approach - use some trivial encryption as a deterrant to someone who's ended up with a database backup tape but somehow not the whole app. Not that it should make you feel comfortable - obviously if the server is capable of retrieving the cleartext then it may as well be cleartext

Hi 
Some time ago I created a Linq2Sql DBML file. Now I want to create the same database on a test server without having access to the original DB. Is there any way to create the database from this file without doing it manually?
Thanks in advance.
Greetz!

Unfortunately, there is no way to create a database file from a DBML file.

Okay. Thanks
By now I already did it manually

The generated ModelNameDataContext class has a CreateDatabase Method. This creates the database with the tables in the model.

I can't quite decide where this belongs, because of what I'm trying to do. I'm not actually creating a website / webpage etc. so I'm not sure it belongs in ASP.NET forum, and I'm not actually trying to do anything (yet) with the database, so not SqlServer forum.
What I am trying to do is.... pass an ASP.NET webpage an XML message for it to then call a dll and create / populate / return and SqlServerCE datafile.
So far, I have the flag set to allow ASP.NET to work with Mobile databases, I've got that far. I've installed the .NET Framework 3.5 on the server, but when I try to make a call to an SqlCeConnection object, I get an error about not being able to find the assembly System.Data.SqlServerCe 3.5.0.0. What am I missing to be able to communicate?

The obvious answer based on your post is "the assembly". So either you don't have the correct version installed or your runtime environment isn't looking where you installed it. So I imagine some reading of the different parts of your runtime environment and how they locate assemblies. Keep security issues in mind as they can play into locating assemblies when it comes to things like using the GAC.
Also it's always a good idea to post the exact error message rather than your interpretation of it.

The most obvious answer was indeed the answer. My understanding of the .NET framework grew a little today. In order to have the SqlServerCe assembly available, I didn't need to have the .NET Framework 3.5 installed, I need to have Sql Server Mobile 3.5 installed. With that installed, and the flag set in the ASP.NET script I'm now happily manipulating mobile databases. Just for the record though, I'm not trying to write ASP.NET websites using mobile databases, I understand the limitations. I'm using the pages to call from a mobile application.

Hi,
I'm having a problem with writing a file on my desktop using VB.NET ...
I'm in a domain and the problem can be solved by running the program locally.
But I want it to run when I log on to my domain ...
It has something to do with the assemblies !!!
anybody who can help me to fix this problem ?
here is the link to the screenshot

I did it because I think people who know a lot of the .NET framework might know the solution ...

problem solved ...
I reprogrammed it in visual studio 2003 instead of visual studio express 2008

I created C# application that connects to MS Access Database
I compiled, built, and ran the application, and everything went well
Then I copied the *.exe file to another folder and other computers
I ran it many times with no problems
But, sometimes it does not work and displays the message (Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application)
And this problem is not solved till I rebuild the source code again
I rebuild and run for 10s of times and the problem appears again
What is the source of such aproblem, and what is the true solution

When you are not sure if client computer has necessary all .dll's, runtimes etc. installed, you should make setup project for your application.
In setup project you can deal with prerequisites.
This is highly unlikely, but stranger things happened to me,
do you have some .dll's in your bin directory? Perhaps you forgot to copy them.
Edit: I've read your personal info after I've posted my answer, so please excuse me for patronizing tone; as I've said, stranger things had happened to me and to my local Gandalfs.

First of all, thanks for your reply
I post this qustion along time ago with no response

you will be surprized when you know that this problem occurs with the executable file even while running from the bin directory itself
another thing I recently noticed, is that th file size changes
when it runs proberly its size is 452 kb
when it fails, its size becomes 484 kb

It seems to be really a virus activity, in spite of I scanned my machine and got none infected files
But, I discovered the problem source
The executable file is opened somehow and some bytes are appended making it unusable.
So, the simple solution I did is ....
... I put the file in the READ ONLY access mode
Now, everything works well
Thanks to all participants

Hi everyone!
I want to reduce the numbers of colors in images dynamiclly in asp.net. For that I use this library (Source code). I use the PalettQuantizer class to reduce to specific colors specifyed in an ArrayList. But if I make the palett bigger than 256 entries, I get IndexOutOfBoudsException. I get the exception because the Bitmap.Palette.Entries array just can hold 256 entries. But if I want a palett that is bigger, how should I do?
Regards Tobias

Microsoft are retiring the MCAD/MCSD March next year. I remember a poll on here about which version of the .NET framework developers are targeting. The majority said 2.0.
I have an MCAD and wish to upgrade it to a higher qualification, and I feel that going for an MCSD would be a bit of a wasted effort as it targets 1.1 and will soon be obsolete. Many jobs I have seen require experience with 2.0 or higher.
If I go with the MCSD, I fear that version 4.0 of the .NET framework will come out by the time I've done it. So I'm thinking I will upgrade to an MCPD to catch up a bit. Any thoughts on this?

I would say go for the upgrade to MCPD, especially since the MSCD is also being retired.

What's the upper limit on the number of projects for solution in VS2005 ?
|
|
|
|
|
Not sure if there is any. Hard disk, available ram, and processor power, human sanity dealing with a slow load, are probably the deciding factors on the limits. Have you seriously tried googling around? Maybe MS has the actual number somewheres in their docs?
--- modified
After a quick google around, nothing much. Probably depends on your hardware, number of developers, resources available.
