Thanks.

[OT] Global Roaming data plans and WiFi hacking
Got a colleague who is travelling to UK, Greece and Turkey, and she wants to be able to do some internet stuff (banking, email etc) via mobile handset while on the move. Better to look for a data plan? Or rely on WiFi? How would you do it? Also, we have a co-worker that recently had her identity snatched via open WiFi in a cafe. Ended up losing her email account, and having her bank account compromised, partly because of lax password practices. How can you harden up against these kinds of things?

Image download management
We've got a requirement here to advise on an image download tracking application for corporate graphics. I imagine something like a mini-istockphoto, that will allow users in the organisation to access corporate images, download them, and track who has downloaded the images. I expect something like this has been done before, and am wondering if there are any control sets or templates out there that kind of do this already. We'd need to watermark the images displayed on the website, and then provide a link to download the unwatermarked image.

Opinion sought... Dashboarding toolkits for Sharepoint
We're beginning to see a number of marketing emails from various Sharepoint dashboarding toolkit suppliers arrive in various inboxes around our organisation. I would be interested in investigating some of these, but obviously would be interested more in something that works well for a competent .NET dev team, accustomed to source code control and quality, rather than something that happens to appeal to the manager of marketing.

RE: web GPS mapping
-- Yes, that's interesting. As silky pointed out, using the Google API is possible for commercial purposes, providing that the maps are available freely that's fine. For instance, I run a site that uses the Google Earth API to display GPS tracks on a Google Earth plugin in your browser. Because I don't charge my users for access to this service, I can do this. If I start to charge people to upload GPS files, I can still use the API, as long as I don't charge people to view the data on the map or otherwise restrict the usage of the map. I'm unclear on whether I can offer any enhanced functionality for subscriber users only (eg, adding altitude parameters to the overlay, or colouring the lines to indicate velocity etc.) The way I read it, I *could* do that, as long as free users can view the free maps. However, I'll certainly be clarifying that. I also use the reverse-geocoding API, with a local cache of previously queried locations (which cuts down on the API traffic considerably, since the majority of my users submissions are from near previous submissions. Google limits to 2,500 requests per 24 hours, and I'm nowhere near that.) Cheers, Dylan.

RE: TFS Feedaback? Anyone moved away from it?
We're in the process of migrating from TFS 2008 to TFS 2010. I don't think we'd look at any other system now. We use the work item integration with source code control quite heavily, even though the dev team is quite small. We also use modified work item for our Change Control system, and that has worked out well too. We have even used the Sharepoint repositories a bit, though somewhat sporadically, and for a couple of projects we've even used the build server, for which I was quite grateful. Previously we had a mix of SourceSafe and CVS in use here. There is definitely an improvement in TFS2010 in terms of Work Item hierarchies, that we have been sorely missing here.

If you get one make sure you get the lower lumber support. I've had it for about 5 years now and have had no major back issues since; I still have to do some exercises now and then if I've been doing heavy lifting tasks or been improperly bending (such as cutting tonnes of fire wood etc) . About 6 months prior to buying the HM chair, I did my back BAD ! And I mean real bad. I couldn't even sit for about 5 days because the nerves were being pinched and it would set my leg into a massive cramp like spasm. agonizing just starts to describe it. Lost sensation in my outer left foot, but thankfully that came back. When I threw my back out, my whole left side went into massive spasm. I remember not being able to do anything, just having to ride it till it stopped. I actually thought I was having a stroke. Very scary, as I was basically parallelized, with my body going into a massive muscle spasm. Probably only lasted a minute or two, but it really felt like very long time. After that I went through all the rehab stuff. For a while there had a fancy kneeling chair, then as I got better I moved to those balls. They are good but a lot of work to keep a proper posture all day. Sadly once the damage has been done, you never get back 100%. As I said, I still have to watch it and do my exercises every now and then. For the most part, most people wouldn't know: I'm still active, bike riding, fire fighting, SES storm etc (was cutting a huge tree of a car just the other weekend). But if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have thought twice about buying the right chair. Prior to doing my back I use to have one of the old heavy metal framed office chairs with just an adjustable back rest (low back rest). The way I justify the cost is pretty simple, I spend about 1/4 of my life in this chair (still trying to get that below 20% g). I also spend about 1/3 rd in bed. Spending more there is sensible, just like paying for airbags in a car you only spend about 5% of your life in is. |-Original Message- |From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- |boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Michael Ridland |Sent: Tuesday, 5 October 2010 5:24 PM |To: ozDotNet |Subject: Chair Recommendations | |Hey | |Does anyone have any advise on chairs, I would like to know your experiences |with different chairs?

Charting with WPF and Linq
-- I have a .NET 3.5 WPF app (working on it in VS2010). On one of the windows, is a grid that is populated with data from an in-memory LINQ to SQL object (the hard way, in code instead of in bindings.) I am trying to drop a simple line graph underneath it, and am struggling to find a good example. Most web sites I've found are either talking about creating a chart completely from scratch in XAML. I haven't seen any examples of creating a chart and populating it via C#. I'm using the WPF Chart control, which seems pretty good. My datasets are pretty small, so I was thinking I'd just create a PointCollection and populate it with Point objects that represent each data point, but since my graph is a series over time, I can't see how I get a value (Y) and date (X) value into a point in .NET 3.5. I would then assign the PointCollection to a Series that I've already created, and set the minimum and maximum values for the Axes accordingly. (My X axis is already set up with dates, and that seems to work. Just can't get the Point to accept a date.) I feel like I'm on the wrong track and there should be some better way. Can I just use the DataContext of the chart directly? Am I missing something basic? There doesn't seem to be any good examples of doing this anywhere that I can find.

ASP.NET 101 - How to prevent double-clicking on a submit button?
-- We've got an Ajax-ified multi-page form and I want to prevent double-clicking on the final page's Submit button. My first thought is just to disable the button in its on_Click event handler. Is this a suitable approach? I've looked around a little, trying to see what is the best approach to prevent someone from clicking twice (or more) on a submit button, but there seems to be a wide variety of methods to choose from, many involving JavaScript, or css, and so on. None of them seem simple enough to risk experimenting with.

OT - Magic Mushroom song from the 1980s
Does anyone remember a clever little app that allowed IBM XT computers to play a song via the primitive PC Speaker that was installed in them? I think it was an ad jingle for some kind of room deodorizer called a Magic Mushroom? (I remember being blown away by it in about 1987. This was on green-screen XT computers, that normally only went beep.) I'm trying to find out about it for a nostalgic presentation.

RE: Code Ownership WAS: RE: .NET Obfuscator Software..free!
Well, I specifically didn't mention Contractors, as this is generally a work for hire situation, but it can be a grey area. It seems one of the delineating issues (apart from whatever may be written into your contract) is whether you use your client's tools and equipment, or whether you work on your own. I've contracted in both ways. It usually pays to be explicit about it. In my (admittedly not very vast) experience, small companies usually don't even consider these issues themselves unless you bring it up.

Well most clients I have dealt with in the past end up with the source code. After all, clients have been accepting obfuscated code since time immemorial already! (Well, at least since the 1980s.) That's what compiled code is! Unless you wanted to reverse engineer to assembly language, pretty much everything was obfuscated. In the form of a product that is true. But if that were the case I would expect the OP would have wanted to obfuscate the entire solution. As there is a single binary to be obfuscated (and it gets used a lot) it sounds more likely that it is being used in custom software that is developed for a single client. For the client: If they purchase a library then they get a support contract so if things go wrong they get fixed If they use an open source library then they get the code so they can fix issues or pass them on to someone to fix. If the developer hands them a library which is neither they could be in trouble. If you are selling a product with support then this is OK because you have an agreement with the client that you'll fix anything that goes wrong. If you were to have a falling out with the client over an invoice or something (it happens) then they effectively have a piece of software that only you (someone they no longer wish to do business with) can maintain. As a client I would consider that an unacceptable risk.

RE: Permission denied
I've been running fiddler, and curiously there is no post or any other session recorded when the error occurs. Like browser permissions are preventing execution of the code at all. Dylan.

RE: Permission denied
Yes, I think we've cracked it. Someone here in sysadmin has made a group policy change to one of the security settings regarding trusted sites, so our JavaScript was blatted. I think we'll be alright now. Furthermore, I can ditch my enormous procmon log too! Cheers, Dylan.

And when you double-click on this you get a Permission Denied error message in the explanatory dialogue? If so, this is a client-side issue: there is some permission denied on some javascript object or similar at the client-end. A server-side permission denied would have a HTTP 401 in the IIS log files.

Permission denied
We've suddenly (this week) started getting Permission denied errors on some of our internal websites (page loads fine, but a little Error on page. appears in the bottom left corner, and behind it is a Permission Denied error. Some functionality doesn't work, specifically it appears to be choking on a JavaScript POST to another page on the same site.) Also, a number of users are reporting that they are being prompted to log in to web pages that previously never prompted for credentials. One site in particular is heavily affected, and looking at the site, I can't see anything having changed (no web.config changes, no permissions changes, etc.) I've looked at everything I can think of, including running ethereal traces and logging vast amounts of procmon logs. Nothing untoward appears that I can see. Can anyone take a stab at what might be going on? I'm just getting frustrated with it.
