I am running VS Team Studio 2008. I have created a web test that I want to use for monitoring a company web site. It interacts with the site and does some round trip processing. I want to create a standalone EXE file that can be run remotely. I have tried converting it to VB code and C# code and then creating compiling it into an EXE. ...
I'm completely new to AIR but what I'm trying to do feels like it should be quite easy. I want my AIR app to execute (launch) an SWF in the standalone Flash Player (just like if I were to double click it). Please note that I don't want the AIR app to embed the SWF. Just run it. Can this be done? ...
Hello. I have stfw but I cannot find a simple / standalone way to create a webservice client in java. Does anyone have a link/sample into this? Thank you. ...
I am building authentication into a client-server application, and some of the feedback I've received is that I should leave the hash calculation to the server (it was initially implemented to have the client receive the hash, calculate a hash from the client's entered password, and compare them). That seems to make sense, but I am left...
At the moment I am working in a pretty big project and I have been been asked to refactor some old code. Most of the refactoring is setting apart a big class into smaller components and functions. I've searched and seen some other questions related with the topic but I am not very happy with the proposed options. The problem with these ...
Hi, how to create a good plugin engine for standalone executables created with pyInstaller, py2exe or similar tools? I do not have experience with py2exe, but pyInstaller uses an import hook to import packages from it's compressed repository. Of course I am able to import dynamically another compressed repository created with pyInstall...
I believe that In the past the decision as to how to deploy your application was largely a technology / architecture problem. How must I implement my code to best solve the technical problem at hand? Now I believe it is much more of a market decision. How can I reach the biggest market? What type of software do people now pay for? T...
All of this is on a windows xp box: Netbeans managed to accept an existing rails project and allowed me to debug it just fine, but my project has a number of processing scripts that handle non-MVC aspects. The rails project is just a system for queuing requests for the execution of these scripts. I've attempted to create netbeans proj...
For some reason, when I use the standalone build from InstallShield 2009 Professional, there are times when I get an error and times when the build completes successfully, with no major distinguishable reason why. The error that shows up usually reads something like: IsCmdBld.exe - Application Error The instruction at "0xa781543" refe...
I'm using PHP5 to create XML files. I have code like this: $doc = new DOMDocument(); ... $xml_content = $doc->saveXML(); The problem is that created XML code starts with a root node like this one: <?xml version="1.0"?> But I want it to be like this: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?> I guess I need to call some function on ...
I want to setup a minimal set of cygwin applications (ls, diff, path, find, grep) so that they run on a machine without the full cygwin install. I am assuming all I need are the *.exe files and *.dll that are relevant. So far, this is what I have. It works so far, but I was wondering if there are any issues down the road that I might ...
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to prevent malware attacks on standalone applications. Let's say this is a program on a Windows machine connected to the internet, this is the most common scenario. I'm also wondering what type of attacks are possible. I believe .NET will do some type of static check on the code before it runs it, ...
What is the best way to build a non web browser stand alone php app that works with some sort of database without requiring the user to install a database server. Or am i just asking too much? ...
I was recently brought on to help with a project that was made up of individual HTML files with the exception of a PHP contact form. So there's not even a hint of object oriented programming, MVC, or layouts (or even PHP for that matter). The project is quite large, but I wanted to slowly integrate the Zend Framework into this project, ...
Would it be better to transpose a Microsoft .NET program to standalone by modifying the existing code, or to just use the existing code as a reference? By standalone, I mean that the .NET framework (nor any other) would not have to be installed on the machine. Preferably, I'd prefer the option which would take the least time, even if it ...
Hey, I'm planning on writing a web crawler and a web-based front end for it (or, at least, the information it finds). I was wondering if it's possible to use the Django framework to let the web crawler use the same MySQL backend as the website (without making the web crawler a "website" in it's self). Cheers, Pete ...
Is it possible to create a C# EXE or Windows Service that can process Web Service requests? Obviously, some sort of embedded, probably limited, web server would have to be part of the EXE/service. The EXE/service would not have to rely on IIS being installed. Preferably, the embedded web service could handle HTTPS/SSL type connections...
Hi, I'm currently designing a small application in .Net and in the past I've been using MSAccess as standalone database that I can ship with the program. But I was wondering if in this day and age there wasn't alternative solutions, as easy to integrate in a .Net app., as transparent for the user and maybe better performance with large...
This question asks about using JSP's scripting language outside a J2EE container. There are some good pointers there. However, I'm curious if I can use JSTL XML tags in my app. Any good pointers? Thanks ...
Hi, I am wondering, where do we store database config in standalone app.The client is connected to database directly (I know it's not a good idea, but I am not allowed to create a server or open new port for RMI) I certainly don't want user open up Hibernate config xml file and get all the details (database username & password etc). ...
