• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Using set and get in C Sharp

    You don't need to use properties to expose members of a class. Any public member can be accessed through an instance of an object. And public static member can be accessed through the class. Your compile error is happening because your property is declared static and your member is not...

    Looking for some direction/help on a personal project

    What BuddhistPunk said is pretty spot on. I was a bit overzealous in how I talked about breaking things up. What you want to do is identify the different things that you're going to track. Each "thing" should have its own table. Taking a look at the short list of stuff that you listed...

    Looking for some direction/help on a personal project

    No one's biting? You'll love the built in web controls. GridViews and ListViews include automatic paging and inline record insertion editing and deletion. Break it out, definitely. This ensures consistency, prevents typos, and makes filtering and grouping code much cleaner. The more...

    Passing a javascript variable into a C# function

    Javascript cannot directly call functions in your codebehind. The closest that you can come is using AJAX or JSON. It is possible to expose methods on your page that can be accessed via Javascript...but that's not going to help you, really. Once you've sent your page to your client you're...

    Best way to run local web server (IIS)

    VMWare will let you store a virtual machine wherever you want, so if you go that route then you can definitely stick your virtual machine files on a separate hard drive. When I do development work I do most of my testing in the integrated host in Visual Studio. The only time I use my local...

    Computer Builder

    What you're talking about it typically done with screen scraping. That is, you fetch the page that you're interested in, the raw HTML, (in .NET it looks like you can use System.Net.WebClient and then scan the markup, either the entire page, using regular expressions or using some other method...

    .NET - Start with 2.0 or 'pickup' with 3.5?

    I'll chime in a little bit here since this whole bit is relatively relevant to me. I'm in my sixth month at my first job - I've been doing ASP.NET web development in C# and some a big client/server desktop app in C# as well (and a few horrific mods to legacy Java websites) I'll say that...

    how do i set an alias domain for a web server?

    There are wildcard SSL certs that cover all subdomains under a given domain (*.domain.com) but those are wicked expensive. You can buy certs that cover 5 domains (blah.domain1.com, blahblah.domain2.com, blahblee.domain2.com, foo.domain1.com, bar.domain2.com, foobar.blah.com) for much cheaper...

    visual basic select item from dropdown

    A more robust and flexible solution is to introduce another table that is used to associate items in Table1 with items in Table2. You then join across that table for your query when populating the second DDL. i.e., Table 3 PK,Table1ID,Table2ID 1,1,1 2,2,1 3,3,2 4,4,2 5,5,2 6,6,2 If...
