Microsft DNS manipulation using dotnet

Anyone have any experience manipulating Microsoft Dns from dotnet. Want to be able to add zones/records to my DNS server programmatically. Any reference or code? Is your website being IntelliXperienced? regards Anthony (*12QWERNB*) Is your websi

Can you change the workflow so that the folder creation happens closer to crunch-time? This does not solve your problem but may not annoy the user as much, particularly if you provide a method of recovery if permissions aren't correct. This stackoverflow discussion links to checking permissions an

Re: How to validate directory path

The time in fact can vary. Some times it can be a few seconds and other times it may be 10s of minutes. I would hate it as a user if i make a request and then 5 minutes later i get told that the directory path i provided as input is bad. I prefer to get told that up front On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at
