View 4 RepliesA client has approached me requesting that I quote to build a project in .NET. One of their reasons for this is because it's easier to find a .NET developer than it is a PHP developer.I've tried searching google, but I can't find any stats on this. I suspect that there are more PHP developers, then .NET, I certainly don't know any .NET developers, but know a few PHP developers.Does anyone have a link to any stats which should how many developers their are for each path?

I think it is solvable if somebody who has a very good understanding of the internals of FormsAuthentication would have a look at it by logging into our system. It should be at least Scottgu!
Somebody told me that Microsoft Premier Support is a good choice for this kind of problems. We have no MSDN subscription or other connection to microsoft that enables us to use MPS.
Is there a way to get support on a incident base? Are there other ways to get this kind of support?

This site containt most MOSS versions controls, web parts. I want SO Users to add most usefull web sites for SharePoint 2010 Developers such as Free controls, themes, tools, etc.
View 1 RepliesI'm taking over a project built by other developers and they used Linq-To-Sql, which I've used, but not with stored procedures.
Most of them work, but some don't because the stored procedure returns a dynamic select statement. So L2S doesn't understand what return type to set for the stored procedure and it return an "int" instead of a "ISingleResult<some type>".
Even if I manually change the return type to what it should be in the data context and save (I know you aren't supposed to), the stored procedures revert back to the "int" return type. Is there any way to make them always return a particular type?
I am used to use Firefox's FireBug and It is really good. I can see all the info I need.Right now I am dealing with an application that is only compatible with IE, I am using the developer tools of IE but it is not as intuitive as Firebug and I can't figure out how to see the size of the packets sent from the client to the server, so far I see the time spent in each request.
So, is it possible to view the size of the packets sent with IE8 developers tool?
I'd like to mimic the behavior of the "profile provider" that is available in .Net. The profile provider acquires profile properties from the web.config and those properties are immediately available as an enum for use in the code behind.I'm unsure how to do this, and wondered whether someone may be able to help.Essentially I'd like to allow developers to enter Role information into the web.config, and then have this role information available for use within an enum in the codebehind.

My concern is that more 200 users will logon on this site simultaneously what will be the effect on performance? how to optimize site speed when more than 200 users will be log on.
We're migrating one of our sites to ASP.Net. We do not want to use integrated security, which uses the windows account to connect to sql server (not going to get into why, its just out of the question). We created a username and password to connect to SQL Server, and would like to use that username and password, however, we also do not want other developers to see this information (easily read from the web.config).... I know it can be encrypted, but it can just as easily be decrypted by the developers - plus encryption has a performance hit.
View 5 RepliesI know this question could be similar to others but really I'm looking for reasons why VB6 developers should switch to C#. My company recently approved project to be written in C#, so we have a lot of VB.Net programmers, however, we have some legacy app developers as well that are in VB6. We have a time frame to re-write those apps into .Net web apps. So no matter what they will have to learn new stuff.
One of the developers today specifically asked "why should we switch to C#?" I responded that the community largely has decided that C# is the way to go with about 80% of the examples in C#. I am a VB.Net programmer and I am excited to finally cut my teeth on C#, however, being that I'm so new I'm not sure I can answer the "why?" question. My reasons are more because I want to learn it. So without descending into a VB verses C# I really am curious if there are any resources that I can send to these developers to calm their nerves.
I have a co-worker who supervises a group of ASP.NET developers who are doing lots of ASP.NET/SQL Server apps. My co-worker was very technical at one time, but his last programming assignment was writing Fortran code in the 1980s.
He has asked me to help him gain a deeper knowledge of ASP.NET Web application development to equip him in his supervisory role. I will be spending an hour every other week with him providing training, and he will probably not have a lot of time to commit otherwise.
What would you recommend as topics to cover, tutorial resources, etc. so that I can help him get up to speed in his role as a supervisor of ASP.NET developers?
asked in forums but I could not find any forum, newsgroup or discussion boards for "trainers" (teachers, coachers) and supporters (writers of courses, sysadmins of labs, et al) of professional courses for IT developers Might be the certified by major vendors trainers have the sites with forums but they are closed to non-certified "colleagues". Are there? I even do not know!I train as a hobby, sporadically, and I am not certified as trainer, at least by private entity. I daresay I spend on preparation to train more than I earn from training
View 1 RepliesRecently we've developed an E-Commerce web application for a client. We are at the stage before launch and the client is not happy to disclosing live merchant account details to us because they don't want us to potentially being able to see their clients' data.
Since we are going to maintain their website (running off their servers but we will still have access to the site files) I cannot see an easy solution to this other than trust.

I setup my server and Iam able to use VWD "copy website" function to move files from my local computer to my server.But is the "copy website" function not secure? When I setup my connection "by selecting FTP site" I have to enter my FTP username and password, VWD states that the password is sent unencypted in plain text and it can be intercepted.So is it bad form to use the "copy website" function?

On my laptop I am using SQL Server Express 2008 R2, and im guessing the first stage is to install this on the server PC. Now in terms of copying over all the tables, stored procedures etc for the database so tha it would function in the same way as it does on my laptop how do i go about this...what do i need to do? I ahve tried looking at a few articles/posts on the net and it all seems a little confusing.
