<0> hello
<0> i am trying to connect to a mysql database via visual basic.net any idea how this is done?
<1> ODBC ?
<0> yeah
<0> i am trying to create a login system
<0> but i am thinking first i will have to have the application connect to the database on form load and then check for username and p***word that wil be inputed in tables
<2> usually you would get the username and p***word from the form and then validate that against the database
<0> yeah but it will need the adminstrator user information to even connect to the database
<2> i hope not :|
<2> generally you create a database user that has only the permissions that are actually needed by the application and use that
<3> using vbasic.net in conjunction with mysql...
<2> lol
<2> are you just learning Fushuing ?
<3> no, i am going wtf at the vbasic part
<0> whats wrong with that
<2> yeah that's what i meant - learning vb.net :P
<3> who learns vbasic in this time of age? :S
<0> aint nothing wrong with that
<2> well i was going to suggest that you don't :P
<0> someone who hasn't learn it as yet
<2> there are much nicer and more elegant languages out there :P
<0> there is a reason why i choose vbasic
<0> i have program in it before
<3> cornflict: how old are you? :)
<0> and have some sort of idea how to handle it rather to learn a new language from scratch
<3> just asking
<2> by your reasoning i should only ever code in ***embly language since that is the first language i learned :P
<0> that wouldn't matter now would it
<3> it does with your kind of reasoning :/
<0> is something wrong with coding in vb?
<0> nope
<0> not that i am aware of
<2> lol
<3> cornflict: you just were saying that all languages but vb.net are crap
<0> nope
<0> wasn't what i meant
<0> i said
<2> i like the .net idea - that in itself seems sensible
<0> since i use visual basic before
<0> i rather to use it now
<0> rather than have to learn a new language
<0> may b later learn a new language
<3> you WILL need to learn a new language sooner or later
<3> and i choose to learn it sooner :P
<0> just refreshing my brain on a challenge
<2> i tend to just use the language appropriate for the task at hand
<2> if i do not know it at that point then i learn it :P
<3> so i don't end up getting fired because i didn't know this/that language
<0> why is that Fushuing
<0> lol
<3> that's how the real world works :P
<0> ok well this is my challenge
<2> anything which is labelled as a "challenge" is probably not that difficult :P
<0> i am making a app with visual studio that will be install and run from any computer but the thing is it will connect to a database on my hostig account to get information
<3> you want a challenge? create a 1600x1200 sized wallpaper with 3d elements...coded in PHP :P
<2> erm ?
<2> you do realise that visual studio apps work only on a small fraction of computers right cornflict ?
<3> andrewbryson; that's my current challenge >.
<0> ok now Fushuing i think we are going way off topic and taking it too far
<2> lol in php ?
<0> simple help or not
<2> that is somewhat of a mismatch of concepts :P
<2> i guess it can be done though :P
<3> cornflict: i am defining the definition of challenge...
<3> andrewbryson: challenge :P
<3> it CAN be done duh, else it wouldn't be a possible challenge >.>
<3> i have come quite far too
<2> Fushuing: it will be fairly slow :P
<3> just need to finish off the glowing-effects
<2> although i guess you could use the various optimisations to improve performance
<3> 5 hours to render 4 spheres with 2 light sources :P
<2> lol
<2> it should not be quite that slow
<2> not even in php
<2> unless you are running it on a 386 or something
<3> it are special spheres
<2> would have to be :P
<3> at detail level 7 XD
<2> i have no idea what that means
<3> because they look crap at detail level 3 -_-
<3> ammount of polygons to render
<3> higher = more polygons
<0> ok Fushuing what do you suggest?
<2> maybe you could figure out a way to tie ogre3d into php
<2> then it would go much faster :P
<3> cornflict: what do you want to do what involves mysql being the backend?
<3> andrewbryson: i want to purely use php ;)
<3> that's the goal of the challenge
<2> lol
<2> that is just obscene :P
<0> a simple application on my computer or on any computer for that matter that will pull info from the database on my hosting account
<2> cornflict: just read up on rdo
<3> i would reccommend PHP-CLI (including the php binaries of course), C++, a normal PHP web application like phpmyadmin...
<2> it is in the documentation for visual studio
<3> any language with database support and that can be compiled
<3> andrewbryson: don't you mean addo?
<0> in order for php to run then you will need to isntall apache and all that
<0> dont want to have to be directing someone how to setup so they can run php on there computer
<3> cornflict: php-cli i said
<4> omg, i just wasted an hour of my time cuz i never read any docs about tinyints, small ints etc. i constantly got a duplicate key error which was caused by the bloody tinyint
<3> it doesn't needs apache
<4> yay for me
<2> lol Siema
<3> you could always make a web application which can be accessed from everyone PC\
<3> *every PC
<0> Fushuing i think ur getting me wrong
<0> this is not a web app
<0> its a normal pc app
<3> PHP-CLI can be run from a normal PC
<3> as long as you include the PHP binary and neccesary components with the release
<0> nah its ok i will stick with the vb for now
<3> andrewbryson: do you know any C++ by chance?"
<2> i could hazard a guess as to how to spell it :P
<3> ...
<2> but as yet i have not had any projects which required C++ so it is on my list of things to do
<2> it looks very similar to java though
<3> i can only learn stuff when someone tutors it to me :(
<3> i can't read
<2> lol sure
<3> what i mean is, i can't read and understand
<2> oh that is easy to get around
<3> but i can hear and understand, or when there is any interaction
<2> just find a working example and then work through it line by line until you figure out how it works
<3> andrewbryson: my problem is finding such code :P
<3> seems like you learn the same way as i do :/
<3> most people say 'grab a tutorial, read the manual'
<3> i just want to see some examples, know how they work, and i will be an expert at it in no-time without readin the manual
<2> well there is all of open source software :P
<2> there are some good tutorials on the net for c++ though
<3> there is such a thing as TOO much example :P
<2> and most people recommend reading a couple of free books
<2> i forget who wrote them
<3> 'where does this come from' 'AAAH! WHAT'S THIS!' 'TOO MUCH CODE!'
<2> and i have no idea if they are any good since i do not know c++
<2> but they were called "thinking in c++"
<2> or something very similar
<3> and most OS software isn't documented properly
<2> linux is properly documented :P
<2> you have the source... that is the ultimate documentation :P
<5> hi all !!!
<5> ;)
<3> that's a bit too big to begin with...
<3> undocumented source is what i meant...
<5> Anybody use SuSe 10.1
<5> ?
<2> sure lots of people i should think JohnBat26 :P
<3> i wish not to be disturbed :P
