The person goes to the page, is prompted to log in, then gets to see the information.
The person logs out of the site, and is redirected back to the login page.
The person then can hit "back" and go right back to the page where the sensitive information is contained. Since the browser just thinks of it as rendered HTML, it shows it to them no problem.
Is there a way to prevent that information from being displayed when the person hits the "back" button from the logged out screen? I'm not trying to disable the back button itself, I'm just trying to keep the sensitive information from being displayed again because the person is not logged into the site anymore.
For the sake of argument, the above site/scenario is in ASP.NET with Forms Authentication (so when the user goes to the first page, which is the page they want, they're redirected to the logon page - in case that makes a difference). | asp.net | security | backbutton | null | null | null | open | Is there a way to keep a page from rendering once a person has logged out but hit the "back" button?

Unfortunately, I hit a deployment scenario, where this does not work, as the proxy.pac file is deployed locally on the user's hard drive, and the url is "file://C://xxxx"
As clearly stated in the WinHttpGetProxyForUrl docs, it works only with http and https schemes, so it fails with file://
I'm considering 2 "ugly" solutions to the problem (the pac file is javascript):
1. Creating a separate JScript.NET project, with a single class with single static method Eval(string), and use it to eval in runtime the function read from the pac file
2. Building at runtime a JScript.NET assembly and load it.
As these solutions are really ugly :), does anybody know a better approach? Is there a Windows function which I can use trough interop?

These properties automatically show up in the properties window of the VS2005 designer under the "Misc" category. Except two of the properties which are enumerations don't show up correctly.
The first on uses the following enum:
public enum VerticalControlAlign

Center,
Top,
Bottom
}
This does not show up in the designer *at all.*
The second uses this enum:
public enum AutoSizeMode
{
None,

}
This one shows up, but the designer seems to think it's a bool and only shows True and False. And when you build a project using the controls it will say that it can't convert type bool to AutoSizeMode.
Also, these enums are declared globably to the Namespace, so they are accessible everywhere.
Any ideas?

The first solution that comes to my mind is to create my own mechanism for upgrading databases, with SQL scripts doing all the work. But in this case I'll have to remember about creating new scripts every time the object mappings are updated. And I'll still have to deal with low-level SQL queries, instead of just defining mappings and allowing the ORM tools to do all the job...

Most of them crash when opening a file or simply corrupt the data. Many don't run at all. It seems to me that most were written 3-4 years ago for AS2 .sols and no longer work with FP9/AS3 sols. I'd attempt to write my own using AIR but I can't find a new spec of the byte format.
There's an explanation of the file format here:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=27026&group_id=131628
and another here:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=27026&group_id=131628
but it looks as though both of these docs are a good 4 years old (pre-FP9) and as I'm not skilled or experienced in file formats, writing a new one, especially without an updated spec, is seeming like less and less of a viable option.
Ideally I'd like one that can not only read the .sol, but edit and save new values also.

I am toying with a personnal accounting application.
Account
Entry
Operation
When creating an operation it is only valid if the corresponding entries are created and linked to accounts so that the operation is balanced for exemple buy a 6-pack :
o=Operation.new({:description=>"b33r", :user=>current_user, :date=>"2008/09/15"})
o.entries.build({:account_id=>1, :amount=>15})
o.valid? #=>false
o.entries.build({:account_id=>2, :amount=>-15})
o.valid? #=>true
Now the form shown to the user in the case of *basic operations* is simplified to hide away the entries details, the accounts are selected among 5 default by the kind of operation requested by the user (intialise account -> equity to accout, spend assets->expenses, earn revenues->assets, borrow liabilities->assets, pay debt assets->liabilities ...) I want the entries created from default values.
I also want to be able to create more complex operations (more than 2 entries). For this second use case I will have a different form where the additional complexity is exposed.This second use case prevents me from including a debit and credit field on the Operation and getting rid of the Entry link.
Which is the best form ? Using the above code in a SimpleOperationController as I do for the moment, or defining a new method on the Operation class so I can call Operation.new_simple_operation(params[:operation])
Isn't it breaking the separation of concerns to actually create and manipulate Entry objects from the Operation class ?

Sorry about having to be circumspect, An NDA along with a host of other things prevents me from saying exactly what the application is. Essentially, JavaScript controls certain timed events (that have to be accurate down to at least the second) that make it difficult to control with ajax/postbacks etc.
My question is this: how hard is it to convert an ASP.NET application to SilverLight assuming that most of the code is really C# business logic and not asp.net controls? I just got finished listening to Deep Fried bytes and the MS people make it sounds like this really isn't that big of a deal. Is this true for web apps, or mainly Win32 ones?
I know the asp.net front end is fundamentally different from SilverLight, but there is a bunch of C# code I would like to not have to rewrite if necessary. The replacement of the javascript code to silverlight I am assuming is trivial (i know bad assumption, but I have to start somewhere) since it deals with timed events, so I am not really concerned with that. I need to come up with a solution on how to mitigate this problem, and I am hoping this is a middle ground between: do nothing and watch us get pounded by our clients, and rewrite the whole application in something more secure than a web page with only front end validation.

I have an interface that I have defined in C++ which now needs to be implemented in C#. What is the best way to go about this? I don't want to use COM at all in my interface definition. The way I have solved this right now is to to have two interface definitions, one in C++ and one in C#. I then expose the C# interfaces as a COM server. This was my application which is written in C++ can call into C#. Is there anyway I can avoid having to define my implementation in C++ as well as C#? | 0 |

One way would be to highlight each differently. The cursor could change color depending on if it was waiting for a command, running a command, or waiting for standard input.
Another way would be to have 3 frames -- a large frame on the top for output (including prompt and commands running), a small frame near the bottom for standard input, and an one-line frame at the bottom for command line input. That would possibly even allow running another command to provide input while the previous command is still waiting for standard input.

http://server/application?source=123&destination=234&text=hello
This request contains the ID of the sender, the ID of the recipient and the text of the message.
This message should be processed like:
- finding the matching User object for both the source and the destination from the database
- creating a tree of objects: a Message that contains a field for the message text and two User objects for the source and the destination
- persisting this tree to a database.
The tree will be loaded by other applications that I can't touch.
I use Oracle as the backing database and JPA with Toplink for the database handling tasks. If possible, I'd stay with these.
Without much optimization I can achieve ~30 requests/sec throughput in my environment. That's not much, I'd require ~300 requests/sec. So I measured where the performance bottleneck is and found that the calls to `em.persist()` takes most of the time. If I simply comment out that line, the throughput go well over 1000 requests/sec.
I tried to write a small test application that used simple JDBC calls to persist 1 million messages to the same database. I used batching, meaning I did 100 inserts then a commit, and repeated until all the records was in the database. I measured ~500 requests/sec throughput in this scenario, that would meet my needs.
It is clear that I need to optimize insert performance here. However as I mentioned earlier I would like to keep using JPA and Toplink for this, not pure JDBC.
Do you know a way to create batch inserts with JPA and Toplink? Can you recommend any other technique for improving JPA persist performance?

I found that the automatically created accessor class ignores generic constraints - at least in the following case:
Assume you have the following class:
namespace MyLibrary
{
public class MyClass
{
public Nullable<T> MyMethod<T>(string s) where T : struct
{
return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), s, true);
}
}
}
If you want to test MyMethod, you can create a test project with the following test method:
public enum TestEnum { Item1, Item2, Item3 }
[TestMethod()]
public void MyMethodTest()
{
MyClass c = new MyClass();
PrivateObject po = new PrivateObject(c);
MyClass_Accessor target = new MyClass_Accessor(po);
// The following line produces the following error:
// Unit Test Adapter threw exception: GenericArguments[0], 'T', on
// 'System.Nullable`1[T]' violates the constraint of type parameter 'T'..
TestEnum? e1 = target.MyMethod("item2");
// The following line works great but does not work for testing private methods.
TestEnum? e2 = c.MyMethod("item2");
}
Running the test will fail with the error mentioned in the comment of the snippet above. The problem is the accessor class created by Visual Studio. If you go into it, you will come up to the following code:
namespace MyLibrary
{
[Shadowing("MyLibrary.MyClass")]
public class MyClass_Accessor : BaseShadow
{
protected static PrivateType m_privateType;
[Shadowing(".ctor@0")]
public MyClass_Accessor();
public MyClass_Accessor(PrivateObject __p1);
public static PrivateType ShadowedType { get; }
public static MyClass_Accessor AttachShadow(object __p1);
[Shadowing("MyMethod@1")]
public T? MyMethod(string s);
}
}
As you can see, there is no constraint for the generic type parameter of the MyMethod method.
Is that a bug? Is that by design? Who knows how to work around that problem?

----------
The first part: [How do you document your methods?][2]
This question is about documentation as it relates to automated tests, especially unit tests.
Do you think it is appropriate to use well written unit tests as a replacement for documentation? When starting in on an unfamiliar piece of code do you go first to the tests or the doc comments?
On the flip side, when does a test need its own documentation? Is it ever acceptable to have a test so complicated? What do you do to minimize the friction? What are the guidelines that you follow and would like to see others follow as well?
As before, do you find that your opinions differ depending on project size/type? On language you're using? On tools available?
