Given the key for some registry value (e.g. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\blah\blah\blah\foo) how can I:
1. Safely determine that such a key exists.
2. Programmatically (i.e. with code) get its value.
I have absolutely no intention of writing anything back to the registry (for the duration of my career if I can help it). So we can skip the lecture about every molecule in my body exploding at the speed of light if I write to the registry incorrectly.
Prefer answers in C++, but mostly just need to know what the special Windows API incantation to get at the value is. | windows | windows-api | c++ | registry | winapi | null | open | How to read a value from the Windows registry

1. add event directly inside the tag like that :
`<a href="" onclick="doFoo()">do foo</a>`
Or
2. set them by javascript like that :
`<a id="bar" href="">do bar</a>`
and add event in a `<script>` section inside `<head>` or in an external JavaScript file, like that if you're using prototypeJS :
Event.observe(window, 'load', function() {
$('bar').observe('click', doBar);
}
I think the first method is easier to read and maintain (because the JavaScript action is directly bound to the link) but it's not so clean (because users can click on the link even if the page is not fully loaded, wich may cause JavaScript errors in some cases).
The second method is cleaner (actions are added when the page is fully loaded) but it's more difficult to know that an action is linked to the tag.

The pages I am working with are the search interface for a site. You enter terms in a normal search box, click "go and wind up at a search results page. On the search results page there are a ton of UI controls for filtering/sorting the search results to find what you are looking for. Some of the operations triggered by these controls may take a (relatively) long time to complete (e.g. several seconds).
This latency is fine in case where the user is initially filtering/sorting their results... there's a nice AJAX spinner and so on... however when the user clicks on a search result and then clicks on the BACK button, I would like the page to instantly be restored to the state it was in when they clicked through.
I can restore the states using IFRAMEs/fragment identifiers as a dictionary of page history, but what ends up happening is that when the user first hits the back button the initial page is loaded, then it (re) makes the AJAX query to get the page state back, which triggers the AJAX spinner and another wait of possible several seconds.
Is there any approach that does not require this kind of two-stage load of the page when the user returns to the page via the BACK button?

The background is that the system in Delphi needs to allocate a lots of chunks of memory that would go well outside 32bit addressable space. The Delphi developer explained to me that he could not allocate memory with the Delphi commands available to him. He says that he can hold a 64bit address, so he just wants to call a function I provide to allocate the memory and return a 64bit pointer to him. Then another function to free up the memory later.
Now, I only have VS 2008 at my disposal so firstly I'm not even sure I can create a Delphi compatible dll in the first place.

Why would you do an automatic HTML post rather than a simple redirect?
Is this so developers can automatically generate a login form that posts directory to the remote server when the OpenID is known?
eg.
1. User is not logged in and visits your login page.
2. You detect the user's openID from a cookie.
3. Form is generated that directly posts to remote OpenID server.
4. Remote server redirects user back to website.
5. Website logs in the user.
If this is the case I can see the benefit. However this assumes that you keep the user's openID in a cookie when they log out.

The system intends to be a framework for business domain experts to write their code on top of.
However, there is also a requirement for data 'security'. That is, what information is visible to an end user.
This effectively means reducing visibility to rows (and perhaps even columns) in the database.
We are using Hibernate for our persistence. However, we are using our own annotations so as not to expose our persistence choice to the business domain experts.
For row based security this means we could add an annotation such as '@Secured' at the entity level, which would cause an extra column to be added to the underlying table to constrain our selects?
For column based security, we could perhaps have '@Secured' to either assist in query generation, or perhaps use an aspect to filter the information returned?
I'm curious to know how this might affect hibernate's caching mechanisms as well?
I'm sure a lot of others will have had the same issue, and I was wondering how you approached this?
Much appreciated...

I build and deploy this application using [MSBuild][1] and [Cruisecontrol.NET][2]. As CCNET build and deploys the app it also runs a set of test using [NUnit][3]. I'd now like to test the web service communication as well.
My idea is that as part of the build process a web service should be generated (based on the external web services WSDL) and deployed to the build servers local web server. All the web service should do is to receive the message and place it on the file system so I then can check it using ordinary NUnit for example. This would also make development easier as new developers would only have to run the build script and be up and running (not have to spend time to set up a connection to the third party service).
Are there any **existing utilities out there** that easily mock a web service based on a WSDL? Anyone **done something similar using MSBuild?**
Are there **other ways of testing this scenario?**

I have an application that send messages to an external web service. I build and deploy this application using [MSBuild][1] and [Cruisecontrol.NET][2]. As CCNET build and deploys the app it also runs a set of test using [NUnit][3]. I'd now like to test the web service communication as well.
My idea is that as part of the build process a web service should be generated (based on the external web services WSDL) and deployed to the build servers local web server. All the web service should do is to receive the message and place it on the file system so I then can check it using ordinary NUnit for example. This would also make development easier as new developers would only have to run the build script and be up and running (not have to spend time to set up a connection to the third party service).

The issue is that if you nest controls then DesignMode only works for the first level. The second and lower levels DesignMode will always return FALSE.
The standard hack has been to look at the name of the process that is running and if it is "DevEnv.EXE" then it must be studio thus DesignMode is really TRUE.
The problem with that is looking for the ProcessName works its way around through the registry and other strange parts with the end result that the user might not have the required rights to see the process name. In addition this strange route is very slow. So we have had to pile additional hacks to use a singleton and if an error is thrown when asking for the process name then assume that DesignMode is FALSE.
A nice clean way to determine DesignMode is in order. Acually getting Microsoft to fix it internally to the framework would be even better! | .net | usercontrols | null | null | null | null | open | DesignMode with Controls

The code would have to be user friendly and as small as possible, but still be essentially random (so users couldn't easily predict the next code in the sequence).
It ended up generating values that looked something like this:
Af3nT5Xf2
Unfortunately, I was never satisfied with the implementation. Guid's were out of the question, they were simply too big and difficult for users to type in. I was hoping for something more along the lines of 4 or 5 characters/digits, but our particular implementation would generate noticeably patterned sequences if we encoded to less than 9 characters.
Here's what we ended up doing:
We pulled a unique sequential 32bit id from the database. We then inserted it into the center bits of a 64bit RANDOM integer. We created a lookup table of easily typed and recognized characters (A-Z, a-z, 2-9 skipping easily confused characters such as L,l,1,O,0, etc.). Finally, we used that lookup table to base-54 encode the 64-bit integer. The high bits were random, the low bits were random, but the center bits were sequential.
The final result was a code that was much smaller than a guid and looked random, even though it absolutely wasn't.
I was never satisfied with this particular implementation. What would you guys have done? | encoding | cryptography | keys | null | null | null | open | How can I generate a unique, small, random, and user-friendly key?
