  1. Seems like it's been quite sometime. Doesn't look like a very tough problem. I bet a lot of users (who doesn't have enough permission to fix it) here would like to help out. Guess we won't mind to help. Maybe whoever that has enough permission, can post that particular file or worse come to worse the section of the file that's effected here, so we can take a look at it. Just a suggestion.
  2. I'm not sure if this is just me. But it's a server side parse error so should be globalI get this error when i try to access the FAQ sectionParse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/faqedit/public_html/index.php on line 390Also, i did a search to see if such error has already been reported. nothing if i use "frequently". Too bad i can't use "faq" as a search term.
  3. So far I've only touch ASP, ASP.NET only once. When I last played with asp.net, the file wasn't edited with visual studio. It works out of box. When i tried with visual studio, it generated too many files, and i didn't like the idea, so that's it, never use visual studio for asp.net ever since.But i've some advice. Try to nail the problem from bottom up, aka, from the most basic testTry to see if it's the problem of IIS, .Net or VS.Test html first, then asp, use a very simple file, probably just print out a string. then try asp.net. All with notepad firstIf those pass, then must be VS' problem. Try a project with out any UI like the above.Btw, you should know that you'll better install IIS before installing VS, so VS can configure IIS properly.I don't have IIS installed at the moment, seldom use now. Let me know if you still can't get it right. Maybe I'll it a go.
  4. Mine is working now. Just registered my new domain name and hosting site at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Bravo Xisto Thanks BuffaloHELP
  5. I got an error also. The error code as follow: is it due to the problem stated in Recent Events At Xisto, The Hosting Server Problem, And The Xisto Corporation, Everything is related it seems.
  6. It's also for Xbox 360. Still in beta. Based on C#, sorry to VB programmer. Haven't try it yet. Maybe will try sometime after DirectX10 is release. I'm now write a software using DirectX9. Can't distribute beta version of DirectX to my clients, hehe Checkout this site for more info https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/tmiller/
  7. I've not really used VB.Net 2005. I've been using 2003 for quite a few years already. Things should be almost the same except for a few updates/upgrade of feature from .Net 1.1 to .Net 2.0 There's 2 ways(or more) to deal with database. It all depends on how much control you want to have or how much help you want VB.Net to do for you. 1. Use the build in ADO.Net library. It encapsulate all the database function into a very nice library where a lot of things is done automatically. A lot of .Net control is "data aware", meaning you can set data binding on it, and it will just show the content of the database according to what you specified in the binding. Pretty powerful. 2. Wrap up database function in your own library. If you have enough background in .Net programming, and you want to have full control over all the details in the database function, do this. This is what i been doing. It takes time to built up the whole structure, but it's worth the time. Well at least if you're planning to reuse the code over and over again. Another reason for choosing this method is portability. Some tips here: a. Try to utilize OOP as much as possible. My first database wrapper wasn't using OOP at all. I thought it's good enough. Not until i'm bump into it someday, realizing when i need to change something, and need to do a lot of search a replace throughout all my code, then it breaks here and there. Now i have most of it coded OOP way. Like using classes to keep content of the datarow. That way, when you need to change something at the core level, like switch to a diff database environment, you upper level of stuffs (so call presentation layer) won't have to be touched at all. For more solid tutorial, goto codeproject. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ They have tons and tons of sample and tutorial there, and that's where i learn all the tips and tricks You might find a lot of similar topics, and might not have time to to finish them all. You don't have to, cause learning is a way of life. You do it bit my bit. While you gain your experience, the next time you read the same article you might gain a different knowledge. Just pick a few related one with higher rating. Read the comment section as well, it's helpful sometimes, as you might bump into problem others did, and the answer is already there. Another place is google. Use the right term to search. Also, you should try to pick up a bit of C#, as a lot more sample and tutorial, and really cool tricks you'll find in C#. Since both are based on the same .Net Framework. It's not hard to pickup. If you need to translate C# to VB.net. Try this site http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Should be enough to get you started. I'll not try to spoon feed to too much also. Hope you didn't get confuse by the way i explain things. If you have further question, don't hesitate to ask.
  8. Thanks for your reply. Actually I forgot to mention that the other factor behind this idea was not trying to drain more power from the USB port. Cause normal 2.5" external harddisk can run off directly from USB without needed extra power. The anti static bag was to prevent short circuit. Actually I only use a very thin type of plastic, but because i live in tropical area, electrostatic discharge is not really an issue here. But then this article might be read by anyone from all around the globe, so I have to take in into consideration of that. And closely sandwiching the the plastic/anti static bag with the foil is still better then waiting for the air to do the heat conduction for you.
  9. Hi, I understand your point. But I did noted that it's only applicable for metal casing, as in my case. I found it effective, thus I thought others might find it useful as well. You're idea is indeed good for non metal one. Maybe you should do a tutorial on that one Thanks for you comment
  10. I'm glad that helps. Let me know if you still need any help. I'm just curious, why would you want to edit your code in Word?
  11. Hi, I'm going to show you a way to help makes your external harddisk runs cooler and thus extends it's life. I've been using this method for quite a while. Very good indeed. This method doesn't open up your harddisk itself, so warranty for your harddisk is untouch. As for those external harddisk which is bought as one whole unit, then you'll have to check and see if you can disassemble it without voiding it's warranty. Warning: This tutorial is for those who is skilled enough to assemble their own external harddisk. Please to not attempt if you never did one, or at least get someone skillful to help you. Do this at your own risk. The idea is to have some tin/aluminum foil in between the harddisk and the casing to help conduct the heat better, and dissipate via the casing. Tin/aluminum is a much better heat conductor comparing to air. Note: This method is only applicable to 2.5" harddisk with metal casing, and those external casing with small room in between the harddisk and casing. Preferably less than 5 mm. I never tried on a 3.5" harddisk, it might works, but less effective. Note: This is my first tutorial, and my English isn't very good. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Ingredient: 1. Tin/aluminum foil - those used for food wrapping. Soft, easily foldable 2. Anti static bag - from used packaging of your harddisk, motherboard or any other computer parts. They usually come with anti static bag which are normally semi transparent, dark silver and a bit shiny 3. Cellophane Tape - any type will do, and you won't need much Tools: 1. Screw driver - to disassemble and then assemble back your hard disk casing. Steps: Warning: Beware of electrostatic discharge. It can kill your harddisk upon contact. 1. Disassemble you external harddisk casing, then takeout the harddisk. Depend on the type of casing you use, most will have a small piece of circuit board connected to the harddisk via the normal PATA/SATA connector. For PATA(wide one), you can keep the circuit board connected, unless you feel uncomfortable while working on it. 2. Cut the anti static bag into a rectangle piece slightly wider than your harddisk, about 5mm to 1cm per side. Then place and center it on the harddisk's side with circuit board, then use the cellophane tape to hold it in place. Try to avoid sticking the cellophane tape one any one of those stickers you find on the harddisk. This is in case if you decide to peel it off later, it will not damage those sticks thus voiding the warranty. Make sure that the anti static bag fully cover the circuit side of your harddisk. This is to avoid short circuit due to contact with the foil later 3. Cut the tin/aluminum foil in long strips as wide OR as long as your harddisk. Then fold the foil into the size of your harddisk, preferably slightly smaller than the anti static bag, to prevent short circuit. You'll have to fold it evenly. Check the thickness to see if it can fit in between the spacing. If it's too thick, you might have to make less fold. Try not to be greedy on this one. You're not suppose to apply pressure on the surface of the harddisk, as this will actually damage it, unlike CPU or GPU heatsink. Make another folded foil for the top of the harddisk. 4. Now sandwich your harddisk between the 2 piece of folded tin/aluminum foil, use a bit of cellophane tape to hold the foil. Only stick on the side. Sticking on the top or bottom of the foil will defeat the whole idea. 5. Assemble your harddisk back into the casing. While doing so, check that the foil didn't move from it's origianal place. Voila, you're good to go. Note: If the demand for this article is good, I'll try to get some picture of what i've done. Good Luck Faulty
  12. You might want to checkout some PHP installation tips on IIS. Just Google. Here are some i think should be useful http://www.phpbuddy.com/sub_articles.php?other_articles=4 http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  13. Some correction for your code strName = CType(configXMLDocument.GetElementsByTagName("Exists",Boolean)should be strName = CType(configXMLDocument.GetElementsByTagName("Exists") ,Boolean)There's 2 way to go around this. 1. Use a XML stylesheet. (xls) to specified the data type of each column. Only useable if you have a fix table. You can edit the style sheet directly from VS. 2. Store your boolean as 0 or 1, that way CBool will do. strName = CBool(configXMLDocument.GetElementsByTagName("Exists")) Btw, i'm working a something silimiar also. Reading setting from xml. But my lib will automatically load the value into public variable if the name matches the one in the xml. I did it so that i can set any configuration which having to predefine what i need to get from the config file. You can take a look at this page also, it has a good sample on using XML as config file (ini) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  14. In that case you might want to check the domain name setting in IIS. I don't have access to it right now, so can't exactly point you to the right place, but shouldn't be too hard. Btw, do you have any problem with other php site/package in your IIS? And what's the exact link shown in the 404 error page? The problem seems to be due to domain name or virtual host setting. Say your server's IP is 192.168.0.1, but in the domain name setting, you put in like localhost or mydomain.com, when you tries to open a link with "./nextpage.php" from another computer in your network, it will try to go to "http://myDomain.com/nextpage.php;. Then if you server doesn't provide name resolution service, that link will fail.

    True Image Help

    What version of True Image did you use to do the backup, and are you using the same version to do the restore? What type of backup is that, full backup or incremental? This really seems strange, but might be that there's some error in the backup file, so True Image is trying to overcome that, while MS Backup is ignoring the error, just guessing

  17. Try check your domain setting at CP. Seems like your hosting is redirecting your park domain.
  18. How did you install your PHP? Shouldn't you have to install apache as well? If you install all this using the individual package, i would recommend you to try out those pre package one, save you a lot of hassle setting up the configuration files. Try WAMP or XAMPP or others, try google URL for WAMP https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html URL for XAMPP http://www.wampserver.com/en/ Good luck
  19. If you mobile is still intact (a.k.a not formated), then the password can be retrieve from your mobile. You'll need a file explorer (not the default one) Look for mmcstore in the c: of your mobile. the password for the mmc is in that file. You might need to rename it into mmcstore.txt
  20. Did you get any message after it crashed? SQL error?
  21. Is this problem exist after you change your coding, or just appear like that? or did you update your ole driver lately? Maybe you should check your OLE driver version? and it's capability. Could be that you're accessing some function/object not available in that version
  22. Can you give more detail regaing the program you're writing, such as is it written in VB, .Net, C++ ..... etc What method you use to access the database? ADO, ADO.NET, ODBC Does this problem also appear on the development machine? For you case i would recommend using ODBC, since newer windows machine has ODBC built in, even though personally i prefer direct accessing the database. Using ODBC can help isolate problem like file access, and can even work over shared folder. One thing though, you'll need to setup DSN (one time) on all the pc where the software need to run All the best
  23. You can refer to this site for more info on Z-Buffer http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/z_buffer.html Also, make sure you're using the debug version of directx runtime, so you can see the "extra" messages from directx regarding error or warning that you should take note. If you are not using the debug function in the IDE, of can't get debug message from the IDE, then get DebugView from Sysinternal (http://www.microsoft.com/err/technet/sysinternals/), it will do the job. It helped me a lot, cause i'm using managed directx, and that won't show the debug messages in the IDE.
  24. Well you can try out one of those LiveCD version where you don't even have touch your harddisk. Personally i like SLAX for live version, can run from USB, and can also easily save file back into the thumbdrive. Check out http://www.slax.org/
  25. you can try run /usr/bin/wget from the terminal. If you still get the same error message, you'll have to ask the admin to give you execute permission on /usr/bin/wget
