You have to cloak the card number, it's pretty easy to do.
cloakNumber = Left(cardNumber, cardNumberLength-4) & "XXXX"
As far as tips and tricks goes for securing card numbers, I suggest you read the PCI Document first, understand it, and then create a plan to implement it before writing any code.
PCI Security Standards
Words of wisdom, no matter how secure you make it, somebody will always find a way to break in.
The PCI requirements are weak, but a good start for those who are not capable to think of all the possible ways to steal data.
I have to give you a chuckle, you have no idea what your in for after you read the document.

I have created an event handling class library to handle TFS2012 event lag it is working fine. But i have to handle such event only in case of Bug work Item type change.
how i identify work item type in event handling code.
Summary of code as
public EventNotificationStatus ProcessEvent(TeamFoundationRequestContext requestContext, NotificationType notificationType, object notificationEventArgs,
out int statusCode, out string statusMessage, out ExceptionPropertyCollection properties)
{
string str = requestContext.ServiceHost.Name;
statusCode = 0;
properties = null;
statusMessage = String.Empty;
if (notificationType == NotificationType.Notification && notificationEventArgs is WorkItemChangedEvent)
{
WorkItemChangedEvent ev = notificationEventArgs as WorkItemChangedEvent;
string asw = ev.Title;
System.IO.StreamWriter objWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\Amit\ClassLibrary1\AssignedToHandler.txt");
objWriter.WriteLine("Received WorkItemChangedEvent");
objWriter.Close();
}
return EventNotificationStatus.ActionPermitted;
}

Are you sure a == operator is the correct way to compare the values?.
What are the actual values?
Maybe your comparing the pointers to the objects, and not the value held by the objects.
if (notificationType == NotificationType.Notification && notificationEventArgs is WorkItemChangedEvent)
Or are you doing a double comparison?
if (( notificationType == NotificationType.Notification ) && ( notificationEventArgs is WorkItemChangedEvent ))

I am setting up a visual studio.net 2010 web form deployment and setup package. I would like to know if there is a way to keep the web.config file separate from the msi and setup installler packages? This way if any changes need to be made to the web.config file only, a new install for the web site would not be required.
If this is possible can you tell me how to accomplish this goal?

Hi,
In an asp.net application I am converting .doc file in to .pdf file, and then making that file as Tiff file. So this pdf file is temperary.
I want to avaoid this pdf file to be stored in the physical path and want to store it in the some memory stream (text stream whichever is good) for temporary purpose and then use that memory stream to be converted to Tiff. And this memory stream should be like a .pdf file' memory stream.
Is there any way to do that can anybody please help me in this. Below is the code that I wrote to convert the .doc file to .pdf file and storing in a physical location.
Private Sub convertDoc2PDF(ByVal Source As Object, ByVal Target As Object)
If MSdoc Is Nothing Then
MSdoc = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.ApplicationClass()
End If
Try
MSdoc.Visible = False
MSdoc.Documents.Open(Source, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, _
Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, _
Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown)
MSdoc.Application.Visible = False
MSdoc.WindowState = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdWindowState.wdWindowStateMinimize
Dim format As Object = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF
MSdoc.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(Target, format, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, _
Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, _
Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown)
Catch ex As Exception
Finally
If Not MSdoc Is Nothing Then
MSdoc.Documents.Close(Unknown, Unknown, Unknown);
'WordDoc.Application.Quit(ref Unknown, ref Unknown, ref Unknown);
End If
MSdoc.Quit(Unknown, Unknown, Unknown)
End Try
End Sub

I did some research, and it seems that Microsoft Sharepoint, the website code that allows folks to share documents, has capabilities that allows the indexing of a folder full of office documents, to be listed like items in a store, complete with thumbnails, and so forth.
A little bit more research lead me to shell32.dll XP SP 2 and beyond, was modified to generate thumbnails of office documents.
I don't know how large your image needs to be, but shell32 should be able to provide at least 18 dpi or resolution.
Fax technology is interesting, it can convert any document as a printer to a TIFF I think at 200 dpi, or more. I haven't done any research on it yet. Just a thought.
This is as far as I have got with shell32, I'm still working in the IShellFolder interface. Most of the working examples are in c#, and I need vb so I don't have to create a new dll for it. So its managed code running c++. I pieced it together, and wrote part of it by hand.
Will take it for a test run soon, to watch it bomb, and make corrections.

Hi,
I am trying to understand this piece of code, its little bit hard to understand. Can you please give me a little overview of it.
I feel like its very useful for me but I want to get some idea what class and what method is doing what functionality etc.
Thanks & Regards,

As far as storing a stream in a buffer, you just make a stream, and open the file, and copy the file stream into the stream. From there, you can read the stream into a byte array, and manipulate the byte array, and copy it back to a stream, and write the file.
As for the code sample that I have written,
After learning how to write in c++, I have learned that in asp.net, you can load unmanaged code written in c or c++, and use the functions inside them, as if your application was a c++ program. But in order to do so, you have to create an interface or a wrapper, that declares each internal function in vb or c#, so that vb or c# can understand them. Once vb or c# understands what's going in and what's being returned, then you can use the code successfully.
The reason the code looks so foreign, is because it's the high end of vb or c#.
The first block is a typical code, that produces your thumbnails.
The 2nd block, is the interface between vb and c++. It can be C# and c++ as well, but you need a interface to access the shell32.dll.
[EDIT]
So until I get it working, if I can, the code is of no use to anyone. That's what I meant earlier in a previous post that I have nothing to offer at the moment.

Hi,
Can you please show me some way to convert the png and jpg files in to svg or pdf format by without using any 3rd aprty tools (just using .net libraries or C++ .net code). Any kind of support may be by giving a code snippet or giving a link anything helps me.

No. There are a gazillion resources on the web that will show you exactly what to do and even more that have free templates that you can download. Start with Google.

Hi,
I have an asp.net application which has to convert different file formats like (.doc, .docx, pdf, xsl, xslx, png, jpg ..ect) in Tiff image, but if we have multiple pages word document, then all the pages are coming in one Tiff image. But we want them to come in multiple Tiff images.
Is there any way that I can divide each page as one single document and send them to the my service so that it can process each page at a time and give me the the multiple Tiff images.
Not only for the document file but I want to do it for all the formats that are mentioned above.
I am in need please help me.
Thanks,
Abdul

You should edit your question for clarity
Are you receiving 1 tiff from someone else, that contains all the pages?
Are you generating 1 tiff, that contains all the pages, and now you want to split them into multiple tiffs?

Hi,
I am gettting the various format files with multiple pages, then I am converting them in to Tiff image, which is coming as one file with multiple pages. But I want either this Tiff to be splitted in multiple files containing each page of the main Tiff as one separate file.
Or we can split multiple pages input file in to different files containing each page as one separate file.
Either way if fine for me, I should get multiple Tiff images. Advice me which approach is good for performance, and please give me code snippet or links to implement it.

I'm in the process of creating thumbnails from doc, xls, already did pdf, and was able to create multiple image pages.
On the docs, I'm looking at the Shell32.dll built into Windows, in which it has the capability to extract images from office files, and i suppose to be able to create separate images for each page.
It's pretty complex, will let you know if it works.
Other than that, I have nothing to offer.

You're going to have to parse each document to determine the page boundaries and create Tiffs accordingly. There's no simple way to do this: you'll need a parser for each distinct document type and a simple way to add more if users might be inclined to add further document types.
The easiest way would be to find third party controls that will do this for you rather than having to write your own for each document type. Some will even handle the Tiff creation for you (if I recall ABCPDF will do this for the pdf document types).
Another issue you will face is that of storage. Are you keeping these in the database or in a file system? How will you avoid name collisions? How will you keep track of all the separate parts of a document and so-on and so-forth...

Hi,
Thanks for the message, we are handling with naming conflicts somehow by using some format for names.
I think if I can just split the Tiff image which has multiple pages would be good idea the reason for that is, in this way I would just need to split one format of the file. Because it is the output format for the all the input files.
I know I used ABCPDF once for generating pdf files, but here my management has already purchased Ecrion. Yes the files are being stored in the database.
