If anyone needs their asp.net project hosted please let me know and I'll glady setup a subdomain for you on my server to host your project.

All I need for the hosting is First Name, Last Name (can use first letter of last name) and email address.

Circle Dock / Re: Question re modifying (system) DLL's

« on: November 08, 2008, 09:03 AM »

I don't know how circle dock was made and haven't looked into it much, but there is an way for a program to hook all dll's not just specific ones its all or nothing from what i know. So it could be using that method.

I've never used this case as I've yet to make a HTPC but from the specs and looks of it this case seems very nice, tad on the expensive side though ($500).

Mouser seems to have taught his server how to mouser people as well

Yes it is very possible to do so.

Just export the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs and copy it over to the other computer and import it.

If you don't feel comfortable editing the registry in that way then I can make a quick program for you to do so.

When selecting the start with windows option it appends '/autorun' to the path of SC so when you go to make a screen shot it pops up with a error dialog saying "/autorun\ path not found"

Congrats Eoin for winning the MSDN prize and my source is messy and not well commented (my weak points) but i would be glad to give it out to people who are interested in it.
I do plan on making a stand alone web server for any asp.net site in the future based off of this project's webserver

Edit:
Also i showed ya guys projects to a few people and they seem interested in them, my bro really likes Eoin's project and circular dock

2nd Edit:
I don't like giving my source out publicly but if you send me a PM i'll link ya to the source for who ever is interested in it

Official Announcements / Re: Programming Contest from DonationCoder.com and Veign.com - Deadline July 1st

« on: July 14, 2008, 04:29 AM »

OK I finally got my project finished here it is.

Btts - Bit-Torrent Tracker Sharp
Btts is a Bit-Torrent (BT) tracker made in C# with ASP.net. That's right Btts hosts its own ASP.net pages
The whole purpose of Btts is to allow anyone running Windows XP SP2 or newer to run their own small Torrent tracker site.

The tracker part of Btts is made in entirely in ASP.net, while the executable it self hosts the ASP.net pages.


Requirements

• Windows PC running XP SP2 or later.
• Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 which you can download here
• Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 from here
• Btts which you can obtain here

General Usage Instructions
After you install Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 and Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition 3.5 its time to start up Btts
All you have to do after downloading Btts is extract it to a directory of your choice and run it.
When Btts is running choose a password for the admin section of the Btts Webpage. (NOTE: If you leave the password blank the previous password entered will be used.)
Then all you do is cick Start and the server will Startup and when the light turns green your all good to go.

Challenges
I'm going to have to say the biggest challenge was getting the web server working.
It took so much time to get to even just a working state for this project and still needs a bit of work done to make it fully ASP.net capable.

I've been working on a close to stand alone bit torrent tracker website made in ASP.net
Close to stand alone being it needs .net 3.5 and sql server compact edition 3.5 runtime installed on the machine.
Most of the work is/was developing it's own webserver to host the ASP.net pages.

Living Room / Re: the award for most clueless pc user ever - my candidate.

« on: March 07, 2008, 06:01 AM »

OK, my mom gets regular "spam" from her old high school buddy's and in some of the emails there are power point attachments.
So I get my mom power point viewer from Microsoft and install it for her so all she has to do is open the file and it will start the power point.

After explaining to her how to go forward or back slides with it I go and to do my own thing.
Few minutes later i hear the monitor turning on and off a few times then finally she asks me "Why wont this thing exit?"

I had to contain my laughter while i explain to her the monitor just displays stuff the power button on it doesn't effect input to the computer, and finally show her the "Esc" key on the keyboard.

Living Room / Re: tip: check your mouse before going to red alert.

« on: February 19, 2008, 09:28 AM »

On a related note does anyone else have an issue with mice where the scroll wheel seems to behave erratically? For example sometimes when I start to scroll a window with the mouse wheel it doesn't stop jittering about after I have finished (and it even affects other windows) until I tap the wheel again.

-Carol Haynes (February 17, 2008, 06:20 PM)

I had something close to that problem.  When I would go to scroll down it would take 5 trys before it would scroll.  And then it would scroll up 1 page first.  I cleaned out the mouse and the wheel sensor as best I could to no avail.  Replaced mouse and now all is well....well except for the fact this mouse only has 3 buttons where as my other mouse had 5.  The normal 3 and 2 on the side for forward and back when browsing webpages and such.

« on: January 13, 2008, 06:33 PM »

I've always used the default colors for all my programs, which happens to normally be dark on light.
But I do want to try out the light on dark scheme sometime.
