I'm working on an iphone application (not web app) and I'd like to build a form asking a user to indicate a price range. Instead of using two text fields, I would prefer to use a double slider to set the minimum and the maximum price. I know that it is possible de use a simple slider (sound control for exemple) but i've never seen a dou...
Hi, I have a desktop Human Resource (HR) application developed in WPF(C#|.NET 3.5) that does some employee management work for the HR,I need to implement user groups based security,meaning that I need to manage users who can access the system(username /password) and also give them CRUD Right and Screen Rights.Is that any basic framework ...
Firstly: this may be a not-programming-related-question. However: As a programmer who is very concerned about security, this is a question which weighs heavily on my mind, and directly affects my activities as a programmer. The weak point in my systems is nothing about the systems themselves, but rather the users. So, what I nee...
I need to save a users login information in encrypted form for this application im building but im not sure of the best place to save the file. I dont want to save it into the program apps folder as i want it per user. So what is the best folder (or way) to save it into? Edit: Using c++ ...
Let's say I have a web form that includes some user controls. The title tag for my "main" web form is generated in one of the user controls. Passing this data to the web form is currently done like this. Public Sub SetPageValues(ByVal sTitle As String, ByVal sKeywords As String, ByVal sDesc As String) MySystem.Web.UI.Main.PageSett...
I run a non profit based .net user group called DevEvening (http://www.devevening.co.uk) and am always looking to improve it. I wondered what people liked and disliked about user groups and what could persuade people to attend who did not already? Since your using this site I guess you have some outside of work interest in developmen...
I went to all the documentation, also I went to the IRC channel (BTW a great community) and they told me that is not possible to create a model and limit choices in a field where the 'current user' is in a ForeignKey. I will try to explain this with an example: class Project(models.Model): name = models.CharField(max_length=100) emp...
I'd like to create a subset of Users that don't have a login... basically as a way to add a photographer field to photos without having a full blown account associated with that person (since in many cases, they'll never actually log in to the site). A caveat is that I'd also like to be able to enable an account for them later. So, I th...
Our customer would like to know who is online and currently using the custom application we wrote for them. I discussed it with them and this doesn't need to be exact, more of a guestimate will work. So my thought were maybe a 15 minute time interval to determine user activity. Some ideas I have for doing this are as follows: Stam...
Hi there, I maintain an application which, during the course of two years, has constantly required new hardware to be even usable, due to the amount of new users / new data inserted. However, justifying the investiment is sometimes very hard to do. I started to wonder - how can I establish the maximum number of users a web application...
I'm trying to create a user control that allows users to make something like the following: <uc1:MyControl id="controlThing" runat="server"> <uc1:BoundColumn id="column1" Column="Name" runat="server" /> <uc1:CheckBoxBoundColumn id="column2" Column="Selector" runat="server" /> <uc1:BoundColumn id="column3" Column="Descript...
Does anyone know how to transfer the users of a vBulletin forum to a new installation of IceBB? ...
I'm programming (in Python) a website which will have users. These users will have a number of settings, such as their choice of colour scheme, etc. I'm happy to store these as plain text files, and security is not an issue. The way I currently see it is: there's a dictionary, where all the keys are users and the values are dictionaries...
Hi, In our current project, a system that will run on a local network with no more than 50 clients that connects to the same local server, we are creating a DB user for each client, to take advantage of the postgresql privilege system. I have some questions about this situation: 1) Analyzing the "performance", its OK to have ~ 50 DB u...
Hi, I want to impersonate other user in windows, for example: I create a directory with permission only for user A and for the administrators, when logon with user B and run .exe I want to impersonate user A to have permission to edit/remove/insert in that specific directory. How can I do it? I found this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en...
Is there a standard way to assosciate custom properties with a user? In particular I need to store the number of items per page a user selected in a grid of a document library separately for each user and document library. @Edit: sorry about this vagueness, I wanted to do it programmatically. It seems like I've found the solution, it is...
We have a simple registration form for our website users where we only require an e-mail address and a password (both repeated twice to make sure they are correct). We require that the user confirm their e-mail accounts by clicking a link in an e-mail. We see that a lot of users don't bother following the link in the e-mail (over 18% ne...
I write scripts to take files via a web app in many different formats and transform them into a common standard. Not the greatest job, but I'm pretty fresh out of college. Recently my large company got a new employee in the team I write scripts for. Everything he touches he breaks. I expect data in one way, he'll open the files up and ch...
I assume that most of the analyzing and tracking is done based on the data gathered from browser actions like page requests. Tools like AWStats, Google Analytics and Omniture take place in this. But there is also good amount of data available in databases or service level logs. For example GWT based application might be a bit tricky to ...
On a website, everything is tagged with keywords assigned by the staff (it's not a community driven site, due to its nature). I am able to determine which tags a user is most active in (or, what tags they view the most). However, I'm not entirely sure how to choose the list. A few options present themselves, but they don't seem right to ...
