    - encrypting passwords in a database Hello, I am creating an application using vb windows applcation and using SQL 2005. I have a table of users, that contain there usernames and passwords. When a new user is added it stores all the passwords in clear text in the database. What is the best method to use to be able to crypt the passwords in the database. Also, when the user login, i have a sql statement that will compare the username and password that they enter in the login dialog box, to what is in the database. If the password is encryted, would I still be able to compare their password to see if they can still login. i.e. "Select * From Users Where LoginID=@LoginID And Password=@Password" Many thanks for any suggestions, Steve Tag: metadata help

    - PowerPoint event updating form Hi, I have a class that holds a reference to PowerPoint and captures the WindowChangeEvent. When that event happens that class in turn raises my own custom event to a form. The form has a reference to the class but not a direct reference to PowerPoint. When the form receives the custom event all it needs to do is clear a listbox. I know that the PowerPoint WindowSelectionChange event is being captured and in turn is raising the custom event, however the listbox.items.clear method causes strange behaviour - the listbox isn't cleared, the application doesn't crash, it just doesn't execute that command and exits the sub...so nothing happens. Is my approach causing the problem whereby a class capturing the PowerPoint event in turn raises an event on a form Thanks Tag: metadata help

    - upgraded os, now can not find .dll The best solution is to pay the original programmer some money to update the DLL for you. If he/she is unwilling or unable to do this, the only other thing I can think of is to figure out what that DLL is doing for your program and write a piece of code yourself that does it. The name of the DLL suggests that it is used to initialize something, so looking for pieces of data that seem to come from nowhere (or better yet, reference that DLL name directly) might give you an idea what the DLL is doing.

    - Abstract/Generic Enumerations? Hi S_DS, Just using a variant may be enough to accomplish one's goals, but this is what I was referring to in the last message: Public MustInherit Class Cls Public MustOverride Property Prop() As String End Class Public Class ClsChild Inherits Cls Public Overrides Property Prop() As String Get Return "ClsChild's implementation" End Get Set(ByVal value As String) Console.WriteLine("changing to " & value) End Set End Property End Class Public Class ClsChild2 Inherits Cls Private propVal As String Public Overrides Property Prop() As String Get Return propVal End Get Set(ByVal value As String) propVal = value End Set End Property End Class So you see ClsChild and ClsChild2 behave differently in terms of Prop. But they both have "Prop" as children of Cls. I didn't post this earlier because it may not be what dataMonkey originally wanted. Matt Tag: metadata help

Hi,

Over the weekend there i found a set of classes that let me change the Id3v2 tags of mp3s. The same library had a set of classes for working with mpegs. Although I'm not sure if it's what you need have a look, the library was called TagLib#. If you look at my homepage Url below and select blog from the menu along the top you'll see the entry. If you don't want to do then just search online, I think its what your looking for.
