  I am in a small shop where we don't have UML tools or other design aids other than Visio.

• Roeland Jimenez ActiveX in autoproxy script in XP SP2.

  We are using a javascript for our Autoproxy, but because of a legacy problem with how our domains were configured, we need to determine the Active Directory Domain of machines to know which proxies to send them to. The following code worked great in XP SP1, but we are testing in XP SP2, and it's failing. This would run in the "Local Intranet" security zone in IE, where all ActiveX is allowed and enabled. Anyone have any ideas on how t ...Show All

• rosevines Software architecture... I'm stuck!

  Hi all! I'm currently stuck in the design process of my next app. This is nothing new as I've been trying to get past this particular hurdle (over several projects) for the last 3-4 years without much success. Everything goes well until the end of the requirement gathering phase. I have a list of detailed , categorized requirements and I think the next logical step would be to work on the architecture of the project at a highest possible level o ...Show All

• Erik Castañeda Architecting a System is a Thought Process or Practice or Combination of both of these or others too

  Architecture is a work combining - "Thought Process" or "Practice" or "Pattern". What quality does it require I believe Architecture is something which is a super set of many things which of course includes Practices, Patterns, and what not... A blurry boundry in the universe of IT which is consistantly redifining its parameters. The Quality required by architecture are many fold. Which goes right fr ...Show All

• Nikola_Smircic Client Server Application

    I am new to the object oriented design world and to .NET . My company has given me a task to design an application which should work as a client/server application for a limitted time and to be converted to a web app later.

• gandor XP or XPE for POS application

  Hi, Not sure if this is the correct place to post this - apologies if it's not. I'm developing a custom POS application in VB.Net 2.0 for no more than 4 terminals. The touch terminals all have P4 processors with 512 MB RAM and 40 GB HDDs. I'm just wondering if there are any advantages to installing XP embedded (or XPE for POS) instead of XP Professional. Because of the limited number of clients, it would be more expensive to buy t ...Show All

• roel_1984 Designing web apps in the enterprise

  Hi all, In my organization we have multiple web apps, each of them serving a different part of the organization. Because the vision is that all apps will be using the same infrastructure and might share information (pages and services), the original design of the web site was to declare a single web site (single virtual directory), and each of the apps will just be a folder in the site (meaning all apps will use the same iis application). ...Show All
