Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 not registered with IIS
The web page worked fine in testing, but after publishing, I ran into a problem with an Access Database driver.
Error: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
It turns out this is a 32 bit driver. You will need to go into IIS, and set the advanced settings of the Application Pool. Set the "Enable 32-bit Applications" to True.
ASP.Net, web.config and Encryption
I was looking for a way to encrypt a connection string, for a Web project I am working on. I decided to add a custom section to the web.config file, with the connection string. <connectionStrings> <add name=”MySQLConnectionString” connectionString=”server=192.168.1.2;UID=userid;pwd=mypasswd;database=webportal;” providerName=”MySql.Data.MySqlClient” /> </connectionStrings> This is added just above the final </configuration> tag. Next, in order to encrypt it, use the following command: aspnet_regiis -pe “connectionStrings” -app “/webportal” This worked on the web.config file in the published folder. To decrypt: aspnet_regiis -pd “connectionStrings” -app “/webportal” This will only encrypt/decrypt the connectionStrings section of the web.config. In order to read the section, in code, use the following: mysqlSecureConnStr = new SecureString(); System.Configuration.Configuration rootWebConfig = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(“/webportal”); if (rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings.Count > 0) { string connstr = rootWebConfig.ConnectionStrings.ConnectionStrings[“MySQLConnectionString”].ToString(); foreach (char c in connstr.ToCharArray()) { mysqlSecureConnStr.AppendChar(c); } Note: There is no decryption needed to read the string. Just use the code above, and you’ll see your decrypted data.
Tip: Use the command prompt tool from inside Visual Studio, and make sure to run with escalated privileges in order to rewrite the web.config.
Microsoft Introduces Montage Web Based Application
It’s good to see Microsoft new invention in the field of web application software. Of’ course it will also challenge others particularly Facebook & Google to crap Microsoft’s Montage discovery. Hopefully we need to wait & watch till others to join this race. Talking about software application, it is somewhat diverse concept introduced by Microsoft, as wide applications from the field of Education to media-publication. Supported Social Networking features will too attract the younger generation. As enabled with Fuse Labs, gaming also catch the attention of school going kids.
Montage looks and feels a lot like a silky web magazine or tablet app. It works by allowing the user to pick a keyword or two; the application then pulls data and content from a variety of media-rich & real-time sources, including YouTube, RSS feeds Twitter and Bing News. The taken content is then well arranged on the page in a grid like format.
Try Montage here.
IE9 Blows away rivals in security!
A new report from NSS Labs studies how various Web browsers perform when it comes to blocking socially-engineered attacks. The startling results show that Internet Explorer isn't just better than rival browsers like Chrome and Firefox--but leaves competitors completely in the dust
Python 3.2 soon to be released, better concurrency
Among the new features is a fresh package that brings together a set of functions that could ease concurrent programming for multicore processors
A new top-level library, called concurrent, would contain a number of classes that could ease concurrency programming, such as the ability to execute calls asynchronously. Python 3.2 has a number of other new features as well, including an improved SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) module, a new module to access configuration information and an extension to that would allow Python source code files to be shared among different versions of the Python interpreter.
Python and wxPython Documentation
I found a great source of information on wxPython. There are some good links, help, support, tools, and tutorials, all covering a wide variety of python stuff.
Internet Explorer Crash
We had a critical machine down due to IE crashing. It was IE6, and from talking with the user, we believed it to be a virus, from a bad Word document. Ran the usual virus scans, Malwarebytes, etc, nothing. Still, "Internet Explorer has encountered a problem", and the runonce script in the address bar. As a last ditch, we upgraded to IE7, and still the exact same problem (we also deleted all temp files, and cookies). Then, I remembered that a rogue plugin could cause this. Started IE with no plugins (Start, Accessories, System Tools) and that was it, problem solved.
No more EverCookies. For Firefox users, a plugin to block these persistent cookies.
Anonymizer has released its beta version of NeverCookie. The plugin protects against the EverCookie API.
Here's a review of a great book for both beginners, and the more advanced. Some excellent chapters on security, TDD, master-pages, AJAX, error handling and more. Well worth the time and money. Author: Jonathan McCracken, reviewer: Ted Neward
A nice use of visuals, mind mapping and system design. Provides a different perspective towards programming.
What worries me now is that these guys will claim MS has an unfair advantage.
