  • How should a site respond to automated login attempts with phony usernames?

    - by qntmfred
    For the last couple weeks I've been seeing a consistent stream of 15-30 invalid login attempts per hours on my site. Many of them are non-sensical usernames that nobody would ever register for real, and often contain typical spam-related keywords. They all come from different IP addresses so I can't just IP block/throttle the requests. I'm not worried about unauthorized access to real accounts since they aren't using real usernames. And if it were a member of my site trying to brute force logins, they could easily scrape the valid usernames from the site, so I'm not worried about that kind of malicious behavior either. But what's the point of this type of activity? What would whichever bot operator is doing this have to gain by attempting all these logins?

  • How can I get Snow Leopard to recognize my third partition?

    - by qntmfred
    I installed Snow Leopard on my Macbook Pro. I then installed Windows 7 in a Boot Camp partition. Then using Windows 7's disk management console, I resized my Windows 7partition and created a 3rd NTFS partition for data, intending for both Windows 7 and Snow Leopard to read/write this partition. I installed MacFuse and NTFS-3G in Snow Leopard, but Snow Leopard still shows I have a single Windows 7 partition. How can I get Snow Leopard to recognize my third partition?

  • Windows 7 power management in Boot Camp mode

    - by qntmfred
    I have a Macbook Pro with Windows 7 installed in Boot Camp. I have serious problems with the power management and not sure why. I have the default Balanced power plan selected. Many times when I close the laptop and leave it for more than just a few minutes, when I open it back up, it does not awake immediately. I end up having to press the power button to get it to wake up. Sometimes this causes it to wake up in Windows mode, sometimes it reboots completely, sometimes the battery has been drained and Windows has to restart. Is this a common problem? Can I fix it?

  • Unpredictable MBP wake from sleep in Windows 7 Boot Camp

    - by qntmfred
    I have a Macbook Pro with Windows 7 installed in Boot Camp. I have serious problems with waking from sleep and not sure why. I have the default Balanced power plan selected. Many times when I close the laptop and leave it for more than just a few minutes, when I open it back up, it does not awake immediately. I often end up having to press the power button just to get it to wake up. Sometimes this causes it to wake up in Windows mode, sometimes it reboots completely, sometimes the battery has been drained and Windows has to restart (and gives me the Windows did not shut down properly message). Is this a common problem with Boot Camp? Can I fix it?

  • Setting a WPF ContextMenu's PlacementTarget property in XAML?

    - by qntmfred
    <Button Name="btnFoo" Content="Foo" > <Button.ContextMenu Placement="Bottom" PlacementTarget="btnFoo"> <MenuItem Header="Bar" /> </Button.ContextMenu> </Button> gives me a runtime error 'UIElement' type does not have a public TypeConverter class I also tried <Button Name="btnFoo" Content="Foo" > <Button.ContextMenu Placement="Bottom" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=btnFoo}"> <MenuItem Header="Bar" /> </Button.ContextMenu> </Button> and that put the ContextMenu in the top left corner of my screen, rather than at the Button

  • Visual Studio 2010 RC + ASP.NET MVC 2

    - by qntmfred
    Now that ASP.NET MVC 2 is out, I tried to install it on my development machine, which already has Visual Studio 2010 RC installed and I got this error message during installation Component Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 2 has failed to install with the following error message: "A different version of ASP.NET MVC 2 is already installed on your system. Please uninstall this version before proceeding with this install." Sure enough, the MVC 2 release notes state: Note Because Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 RC share a component of ASP.NET MVC 2, installing the ASP.NET MVC 2 RTM release on a computer where Visual Studio 2010 RC is also installed is not supported. So my question is, though officially unsupported, if I uninstall VS 2010 RC, install MVC 2 then re-install VS 2010 RC, might this work? And would I then be able to target MVC 2 in VS2010?

  • Handling FormatExceptions using XmlSerializer.Deserialize

    - by qntmfred
    I have a third party web service that returns this xml <book> <release_date>0000-00-00</release_date> </book> I am trying to deserialize it into this class public class Book { [XmlElement("release_date")] public DateTime ReleaseDate { get; set; } } But because 0000-00-00 isn't a valid DateTime, I get a FormatException. What's the best way to handle this?

  • Server.Transfer("error_404.aspx") in Application_Error returns a blank page

    - by qntmfred
    I look for HttpExceptions in the Application_Error sub of my global.asx Sub Application_Error(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim ex As Exception = HttpContext.Current.Server.GetLastError() If ex IsNot Nothing Then If TypeOf (ex) Is HttpUnhandledException Then If ex.InnerException Is Nothing Then Server.Transfer("error.aspx", False) End If ex = ex.InnerException End If If TypeOf (ex) Is HttpException Then Dim httpCode As Integer = CType(ex, HttpException).GetHttpCode() If httpCode = 404 Then Server.ClearError() Server.Transfer("error_404.aspx", False) End If End If End If End Sub I can step through this code and confirm it does hit the Server.Transfer("error_404.aspx"), as well as the Page_Load of error_404.aspx, but all it shows is a blank page.

  • Background search for changes in TFS source control

    - by qntmfred
    SourceGear Vault's client app has the ability to background search for changes. This is very useful because at any time I can take a quick peek and see what changes my team members have checked in and that I need to get latest on. This is also helpful for previewing any merges that might be necessary. And on a day to day basis, it helps me get a sense of what parts of the codebase are seeing the most churn. Is there a way to get this same functionality with Team Foundation Server, either with native features or a plugin? I know there is a Compare feature, but it takes way too long to be useful. Unless it could periodically refresh itself like Vault does, but I haven't found a way to do that. Anything new with Visual Studio 2010?

  • WCF contracts - namespaces and SerializationExceptions

    - by qntmfred
    I am using a third party web service that offers the following calls and responses http://api.athirdparty.com/rest/foo?apikey=1234 <response> <foo>this is a foo</foo> </response> and http://api.athirdparty.com/rest/bar?apikey=1234 <response> <bar>this is a bar</bar> </response> This is the contract and supporting types I wrote [ServiceContract] [XmlSerializerFormat] public interface IFooBarService { [OperationContract] [WebGet( BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "foo?key={apikey}")] FooResponse GetFoo(string apikey); [OperationContract] [WebGet( BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "bar?key={apikey}")] BarResponse GetBar(string apikey); } [XmlRoot("response")] public class FooResponse { [XmlElement("foo")] public string Foo { get; set; } } [XmlRoot("response")] public class BarResponse { [XmlElement("bar")] public string Bar { get; set; } } and then my client looks like this static void Main(string[] args) { using (WebChannelFactory<IFooBarService> cf = new WebChannelFactory<IFooBarService>("thirdparty")) { var channel = cf.CreateChannel(); FooResponse result = channel.GetFoo("1234"); } } When I run this I get the following exception Unable to deserialize XML body with root name 'response' and root namespace '' (for operation 'GetFoo' and contract ('IFooBarService', 'http://tempuri.org/')) using XmlSerializer. Ensure that the type corresponding to the XML is added to the known types collection of the service. If I comment out the GetBar operation from IFooBarService, it works fine. I know I'm missing an important concept here - just don't know quite what to look for. What is the proper way to construct my contract types, so that they can be properly deserialized?

  • WPF ToolBar Separator shrinks to nothing when inside a StackPanel

    - by qntmfred
    Given the very simple wpf app <Window x:Class="Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="800"> <Grid> <ToolBar Height="50" > <MenuItem Header="Test1" /> <MenuItem Header="Test2" /> <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"> <Separator /> <MenuItem Header="Test3" /> <MenuItem Header="Test4" /> <MenuItem Header="Test5" /> </StackPanel> </ToolBar> </Grid> </Window> The Separator element shrinks to nothing. If I put the Separator just before the StackPanel begins, it will show up. Why does this happen? Is there a style setting that can be applied somewhere to avoid this?

  • Why did my ASP.NET Web App stop showing AM in times?

    - by qntmfred
    I haven't made any code or configuration changes (that I know of) to my ASP.NET web application and this morning it suddenly stopped showing the AM in my displayed times. PM still shows up, just not AM. It's hosted on Windows Server 2003. I figured somehow the OS regional settings might have been changed somehow, but that doesn't appear to be the case. How could this have happened?
