Thanks.
Unfortunately, those techniques rely on username and password credentials. I need to prevent my users from being able to build their own applications andthen using my web service with their username and password.

Instead of using the username and password of the users, you can have a username hardcoded into your application. The users will not be able to get the username unless they have access to the code and even if they have access to the code, the password could be encrypted.

Thanks for your suggesstion.
However, this is not a solution; it is too easy to decompile .NET applications. Encrypting a password just introduces another problem: the encryption key and how to 'hide' that. Hardcoding is not the answer.
Unfortunately, I can't forsee any satisfactory solution.

Your other option is to see if you can get the IP address of the incoming request, and validate it. Of course, your users can decompile your code and change any checks you do, so.....

Yeah, plus my application needs to be usable from anywhere. I am implementing username/password authentication, but I'm worried my users could create their own application and utilise the web service (using their creddentials), and do some malicious things.
In all honesty it'd probably never happen - but it's discouraging not to be able to solve this problem.

Then you have to defend your application from dodgy input. You have to ensure that your webservice is strict on validating the inputs. That will minimise any damage that may occur if someone does find a way through the authentication process.

Other than these suggestions you can restrict accepting IP's from IIS:

Hi,
I have a gridview control on an ASP.NET page which I want to populate by binding an array of items to it. The items were all strings so it was easy to do, just have columns with bound fields and setting the DataFields to the property names like this:
<asp:GridView ID="myGridView" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" >
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Product" DataField="Name" />
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Description" DataField="Description" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
I now need to add a new item and it consists of an object with a few strings as properties. I'd like to do this but I can't of course:
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="Product Code" DataField="Product.Code" />
...where the Product is the object and Code is a string member.
How can I do it? Do I need a template? If so, how?
Thanks

Try this:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Product Code">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="abc" runat="server"
Text='<%# Eval("Product.Code") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

The first time any application I write tries to consume a webservice I always encounter a substantial delay. Typically the delay is about 15-20 seconds. Any subsequent calls are very fast. It seems as if under the hood there is some sort of initialization process perhaps?
Can anyone tell me what is going on here and if there is a way to speed thus up? If it helps, I'm using C#, VS2005. I have this problem on any machine I develop on and any machine I run my compiled app on.
Thank you!

You can't use mail.yahoo.com unless you have a paid account with yahoo(The smtp host name may defer for the paid accounts). Try using the smtp host of your company, it should work.

Hello all,
I am having this problem with IIS, where nothing seems to appear as the default website, and when I click to expand the Websites folder, there is nothing under it. Could this be related to a security issue set on my computer? I do not have write access to the Inetpub folder, I only have read.
Sincerely,
The Major Rager

This question is for those familiar with the asp.net 2.0 ajax accordion which ships with the ajax control toolkit.
By default, the only way to close a content pane is to click on the header pane, activing the link within it which returns false and has an href of "".
What I need to do is to close the content pane from codebehind after performing a database update.
I know this probably has to be done by sending client script to the browser, but so far I've tried sending (clientscript.registerclientscriptblock(page.getType,newid,(function to click on the header))
and the control cannot be found at runtime to be clicked (document.getele...null or not an object). I know others will want to do this eventually, or perhaps have already found a way to, so I'll throw this out there and see if anyone can help.
Thanks in advance.

chkNews.DataSource = dt_News;
chkNews.DataBind();
/////////Get and display checked newsletter
dt_NewsClicked = SqlHelper.ExecuteDatatable(SqlHelper.ConnectionString, CommandType.Text,
"select newsletter_type_id from user_newsletter_type where user_id='"+userId+"'");
int w = dt_NewsClicked.Rows.Count;
int[] newsChecked = new int[20];
for (int i = 0; i < dt_NewsClicked.Rows.Count;i++)
{
newsChecked[i] = Convert.ToInt32(dt_NewsClicked.Rows[i]["newsletter_type_id"].ToString());
}
for (int a = 0; a < w ; a++)
{
chkNews.Items[newsChecked[a]-1].Selected = true;
}

note : I use free SQLHelper Class to connect with database.
chkNews is my Checkbox group.

I use CSS and Visual Basic to implement a web site.
I use this code:
body#Linkbutton1 li.Linkbutton1 a:link{
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #CC0000;
}
body#Linkbutton1 li.Linkbutton1 a:visited{
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #660000;
}
body#Linkbutton1 li.Linkbutton1 a:hover{
background-color: #660000;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
body#Linkbutton1 li.Linkbutton1 a:active{
background-color: #660000;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
but the active selector dose not worked.

I think you may be misunderstanding what the active selector does. It is the state a link is in as the mouse (or keyoboard...I think) button is pressed down. In your case you have the same colour as the :hover state so you won't see any difference. The default (IE) behaviour for :active is to colour the link red, try using a different colour and you'll see what I mean.
A couple of tips I thought I'd mention about your styles:
- I can't see white on red being that easy to see, do you know how colour blind people will see it?
- You may want to consider having a different colour for the :visited state. I know its nice to keep your links always the same colour, but depending on the links purpose its always best to let a user know where they've been (by purpose I mean if your link is performing a function rather than navigating the user, which in this case it looks like it might be, then having the same colour is probably OK)
