Her headaches
Constant
Increasing in pain with each passing day
She can’t even manage to stand on her own
It’s gotten so bad

He is teaching me
What love truely means

So I just need sugestions of what to do because I ran out

post more code or screencast about….. or guides about…. or personal pictures or …I dont know…HELP!!!!!!!

Here is how you link you ODBC server. Just open SQL Management Studio-> New Query and type this:

EXEC sp_addlinkedserver

@server = ‘MyServer’, — the name of your linkserver

@srvproduct = ”,

@provider = ‘MSDASQL’, — This is the default for ODBC server, for more info please reffer to MS Site

@datasrc = ‘lotus’ –DSN name

GO

This code will just add the server to your Link Servers list.In order to ensure it executed succesfully you can try this:

EXEC sp_tables_ex ‘MyServer’
go

EXEC sp_tables_ex @table_server = ‘MyServer’
go

SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY(MyServer, ‘SELECT * FROM TableName’)
go

If it has user and password use this:

EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
@rmtsrvname = ‘MyServer’,
@useself = false,
@locallogin = NULL,
@rmtuser = ‘yuibox’,
@rmtpassword = rawr
GO

Hope it helps!

Sorry I was not able to post much this month. Many important things happened this month and it took me out of surprise.

Like Kevin from Diggnation.com says… “MOVING ON!…”

It almost the end of the month, hence, I was thinking new ideas for this little blog for the upcoming month. Which are the following:

screencast

forum

flash game tutorials

more tutorials?..etc..

I cant think of something else :’(

Any ideas are totally welcome!

Also!, I will be attending edmonton twitter event! which is this May 10th at the Three Bananas Cafe in Churchill Square downtown at noon. Hope so see lots of new faces there For more info go here!

Yesterday I spent a lot of time figuring out how to go about getting a user’s group membership information out of Active Directory, Java style. Since Active Directory is essentially a glorified LDAP server, you can connect to it through JNDI, treating it like any other database: connect to it, query it, and process your results. The below code will run over all user accounts, printing out their full LDAP DN, their email address, and their logon name.

[source:java]

import java.util.Hashtable;
import javax.naming.*;
import javax.naming.directory.*;

public class Main {

    // Connection information.  If connecting to Active Directory, the user
    // name should be of the form DOMAIN\\user.
    private static String SERVER   = “ldap://dc-1:389″;
    private static String AUTHTYPE = “simple”;
    private static String USER     = “myuser”;
    private static String PASSWORD = “mypassword”;
    
    // Search filter to use.  This filter restricts us to only look at entries
    // which are human users.
    private static String FILTER = “(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user))”;
    
    // The base directory.
    private static String BASE = “DC=larlyn,DC=com”;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Create and populate our connection environment.
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, “com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory”);
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, SERVER);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, AUTHTYPE);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, USER);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, PASSWORD);

        try {
            // Bind to the LDAP server.
            DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);

            System.out.println(”Login successful”);
            
            // Perform the search
            SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls();
            constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
            NamingEnumeration results = ctx.search(BASE, FILTER, constraints);
            
            while (results != null && results.hasMoreElements()) {
                SearchResult result = (SearchResult)results.next();
                String dn = result.getName() + ‘,’ + BASE;
                String[] searchattrs = {”mail”, “sAMAccountName”};
                
                Attributes attrs = ctx.getAttributes(dn, searchattrs);

                // Print out information in the form of:
                // DN: [attr...]
                if (attrs != null) {
                    System.out.print(dn + “: “);

                    for (int i = 0; i < searchattrs.length; ++i) {
                        Attribute attr = attrs.get(searchattrs[i]);
                        
                        if (attr != null) {
                            for (NamingEnumeration e = attr.getAll(); e.hasMore();)
                                System.out.print((String)e.nextElement() + ” “);
                        }
                    }
                    
                    System.out.println();
                }
            }

            ctx.close();
        } catch (AuthenticationException e) {
            System.out.println(”Login failed: ” + e.getMessage());
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

For group membership, one would want to include “memberOf” in searchattrs.

This tutorial will show the first step to start a connection and to get the general idea of how this puppy works

In Part I of this tutorial I will explain how to send a simple string and receive it easy ne? ^.^ we all love baby steps

Requirements :  - Null Modem Adapter

- VS.NET 2005 (or any other C# compiler)

- Basic Knowledge of C#

- and lots of time and patient

First of all, Here is how my serial ports currently work:

COM1 ->  Is my Master,in order words, this COM will send information to the listener.

COM2-> Is my Slave. This COM will receive information form the sender.

Create 1 Window App project and a Console Project: 1.- C# Project COM! and 2.- C# Project COM2
1.- C# Project COM1: Master

Opens Serial Port COM1, sends string and closes port

[code lang="c++"]

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.IO.Ports;

public partial class Form1 : Form
{

SerialPort m_port; //class member, so it can be access by any other class function ^.^

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();

//SerialPort(string portname, int baudrate, Parity parity, int dataBits, StopBits stopbits)

m_port = new SerialPort(”COM1″, 9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
m_port.Open();//Opens the port

}

private void btnPrint_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
m_port.Write(”Hello COM2 from COM1 !”); // Writes to port

}

private void Form1_Closed(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
m_port.Close();//and closes port after its done

}
}

[/code]

2.- C# Project COM2: Slave

Opens COM2 and reads the information that is in the buffer, in other words, receive whatever COM1 is sending

[code lang="c++"]

class SerialPortProgram
{
// Create the serial port with basic settings
private SerialPort port = new SerialPort(”COM2″,
9600, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);

[STAThread]

static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Instatiate this class
new SerialPortProgram();
}

private SerialPortProgram()
{
Console.WriteLine(”Incoming Data:”);
port.DataReceived += new  SerialDataReceivedEventHandler(port_DataReceived);//When received data will jump tp the port_DataReceived function                        port.Open();//opens the port

Application.Run();
}
private void port_DataReceived(object sender, SerialDataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine(port.ReadExisting());//Prints in console the information that is in the buffer, in other words, the information that he is receiving

}
}

[/code]

Done!

Run the COM2 Project then COM1 and send the information along. Simple eh? ^.^
