Similar problem time ago.

Check Internet Explorer Version, try to update to the last one.

i will upgrade my IE8 to 11, and i will inform you whether the issue is still happening or nor

knowing that PIF1 get the whole traffic (i checked that by tcpdump -i eth1)
the problem reside in VIF1, PIF1 not mirroring the traffic ti VIF1,

Hi Guys

i have a question regarding Web Application VS Windows Application, i mean many people choose to make web application than making windows application because of its ease in term of central administration, as for windows application it is not that easy to update your software, you need to update the application in all workstations,
Personally I do not prefer web application because I’m not into design, and also in web application you care not only in programming but you have to care also on how to display the application to the users (javascript, JQEURY …..),
As for windows application, you can give all your time to programming and you don’t care about the design anymore because in the end of the day a windows application is a set of buttons and textbox…..nothing special,
Now let us talk about the disadvantage of the windows application, recently I developed a vb.net application and I’m updating it all the time and the workaround I found to overcome this problem of updating the version in each workstation is putting the application in the file server and create only a shortcut for all users, whenever I update my application, I put the new application folder in the exact same location as before, by doing so : when users run the shortcut they run the new version of the application,
So my question is: is this method reliable or it is limited (maybe if the number of users increase the application will stuck, I guess??) otherwise please advise me how to effectively overcome this problem of application update

Thanks and best regard

how i can do that ?? a web application is different than windows application, they are totally 2 different things, the web application need a web browser to run while the windows application do not,

Yes and no. Do you need a web browser for MS Office? Yet it is a web app. You can make a web app look, feel and behave just like a desktop app. You can even install it locally.

Woow, i'm impressed, it is the first time i know that i can convert my web application to looks like a desktop application, this is great
i just found mozile labs Prism do the trick

interesting, thank you very much dear scott, you are all he time helping me and giving me brilliants ideas

And it is important to note that choosing a language should be done by the determination of the project at hand and never the opposite. That's one of the reasons why VB gets a bad reputation - because the reasons why it is chosen are bad. We assume that if a project is done in VB it is because someone chose VB then used it, rather than having a project, looking for the right tool and using whatever the right tool is.

To pick a good language you would start with knowing the project, then determining the needs, then picking a language and its framework together.

can you give me use cases where vb.net for example cannot be in the list ??knowing that the need is 90 % of the time is basic, manipulating database (add, remove , edit ....) and generate report , nothing special

Any full language can do anything. But the "right" language for any given task would be the best one. So on one hand, you could say that VB is always acceptable as it is a full language. On the other hand, you probably cannot find any scenario where it is best, so maybe it should never be on the list.

I lean to the later, the short list should be, quite literally, the few choices that are reasonably potential to be the best for any given task.

Even in VB's wheelhouse, which is Windows desktop development, it is the secondary language to C# in use, popularity and how it is perceived by developers and is tertiary to C# and F# in being considered a modern, serious, expressive language.

So even where VB is best, it isn't good enough to reasonably consider. If you don't consider it when it is as good as it gets, why even consider it?

yes i agree, in my case i will reply by saying: i will consider it because the one who is in charge of developing has chosen it, so i have to accept that and just use it, otherwise i cannot work with him

yeah off course, i will use c#.net, i like it

i just took a look on Qt Designer, it looks good, anyone use it before??

sorry guys, it is 1.35 AM, i have to sleep now
to be continued ...

for this reason you told me to not play with other servers, i will seperate things so that i will not run into issues like this

why it should not be a relational DB, ??

really i feel that you are from another planet, lol
but i'm very happy that i keep learning new things everyday from you, i'm sure if you come here Scott, you will see that there is a huge difference in level, and people will not understand you, lol
