I found this code online to generate a password [URL] ....
How do I know this won't generate a word that might offend the user? I remember seeing something in another page about skipping curse words. Is that worth looking into? I could remove s-f-h-u-i-c-t-k from possible characters?

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 RTM and MS Sql Server 2008 R2 EXPRESS with Advanced Services.I create a new simple asp.net web site. When I click on asp.net configuration, it opens as expected.When I click on the Security Tab, I get the message, Unable to connect to SQL Server database.It will not create the default aspnetdb.mdf file.I can create a connection to the sql server in VS from the database explorer.I can connect to the sql server with sqlcmd as a trusted connection.I have even managed to verify the default instance of .SQLEXPRESS with named pipesusing the sc command and the MSSQL$instance name.I have verified that my machine dot config file for the 2.0 .net contains the proper info (without altering it).I've spent many nights trying to figure this one out.VS2008 and MS SQL Server EXPRESS 2008 worked.I noticed that the default asp.net web site uses a connection other than the default localsqlserverand the template automatically adds a login in the ui with role, membership & profile in the web config.

I would like to generate sequential IDs in the format ZZZ999 starting from AAA001 but this is not for batch insertion of data. I want to issue the ID to users that signup on the website with the next available ID. Mutiple users can signup and should be issued the next available unique Id. I was thinking of storing the last used Id (just one row that is always updated with last issued id) in a table that I can lookup and use to determine the next id and update it. But given that mutiple users can be signing up at the same time, what is the best way to ensure that each user is issued a unique id while maintaining the issue of sequential ID. Will record locking work? I don't think so, as the last issued id can still be read by mutiple users and that it self will generate the same Id which will not work.
View 3 RepliesI need to generate small images for certain parts of text. Those will have to fit into the text seamlessly. I know I can not make up for every browser font settings available, but how do I have to check for Linux, Mac and Windows users depending on the user agent? I want to use the right font (of the three "Verdana, Arial, Helvetiva") for the right user agent OS.
So:How do I check for the OS? What do I have to compare to in the user agentWhere can I get the other two fonts. Does the Windows-included Verdana look the same as the one used on Linux (or, is it free anyway? I don't know much about fonts)? Where do I get Helvetica? Is it Mac OS licensed?
Any code examples can be in either c# or VB.NET. I can read both.

Article : Encrypt and Decrypt Username or Password stored in database
The whole thing works very well but my issue is, after entering and encrypted password how does the user then log into the database?
When a user types in his password, the typed in password will not match the ecnrypted value in the database.
So how do I decrypt what is in the database and compare with what the user typed in and then validate the user.
