I'm still using the keyboard that came with my first Win 98 system, so 18 years old! I love the action on this keyboard, but need to get a new one. The keyboard itself still works great, but the little raised bars on the 'home' keys are worn to the point that I can barely feel them anymore. I can only hope that my next one lasts as long.

My keyboard still looks very good!
Even the letters (even WSAD, gamers will know ) are still very readable!
Newer keyboards wear out so much faster
The only thing you see is that it's a little yellowish, instead of the white it no doubt once was
At least it was worth its money after about twenty years

Hi there,
First, let me clarify, this is NOT programming question Have been around for a while to see people criticized and I have also criticized others for doing that..
I am looking for some tool (preferably browser based) which I can give to non-developer to run some of the stored procedures (SQL server). For example, they can select a SP from drop-down, then few text boxes appears where they can enter data (for parameters) and execute the SP. Result may be displayed in some grid or downloaded in csv.
I can build it, but just thought of checking if there is some open source tool available before investing time/energy.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Milind

I disagree. This is Lounge material and not a programming question, it's a "How do I avoid programming" question.

Really? Asking whether a piece of software exists that does x is close to a programming question? I would have thought it, by definition, a non-programming question in that its principal aim is to avoid programming altogether!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

It is Lounge material and most definitely not a programming question.

That's three of you telling me that the question is OK for the Lounge, But not one who has tried to answer it.

I'm not quite sure what one has to do with the other.
I see no correlation.

Not that I know of, and I'd prefer to develop something custom anyway.
Perhaps your application needs a utility or administrative page that allows a properly authorized user to perform such tasks?
One app I worked on a while back had some such functions that allowed an admin to do certain things (e.g. refresh the cache) via URL/query string.

You can try SQL Reporting Services; I'm not sure you would be able to execute stored procedures, though, but since you are dealing with SQL Server then maybe you could try. It needs an non-express edition.

Hah I wrote one of them in the 90s as an adjunct to a reporting system. It is not as simple as you hope, supplying check and date controls needs to check the data type of the parameter and text boxes are a waste of time. You have to supply combo's to select from. Use can't type for shyte!
I ended up building tables for proc/parameters to service that and it certainly wasn't browser based!

I would probably create a class that lets me specify an english name, a storedproc name, and a list of parameter objects with values set to a reasonable default. The interface would present controls based on object type.
This would make a really interesting article.

My design had a table name, primary key field and display field for parameters requiring combo data. It worked quite well but was very under utilised as the user was more interested in the reports (Crystal in those days bleh)

All ye fools and jesters of this proud gathering
May I to you pose a question:
Upon yester’s nightfall, did ye happen to cast yer eyes
Towards the celebrative broadcast in memory of a truly great bard?
Even if ye did not, yer negligence may still be mended
For ye still have nine and twenty days and nights

So yes I am talking about Shakespeare's 400th anniversary show which was broadcast on the BBC and my little country too, and I guess large parts of the world. I dunno what it is me and Shakespeare. But his plays and words always evoke such inexplicably powerful emotions in my system. I enjoyed the broadcast very much and recommend it with all my heart.
(The stream unfortunately is not available outside the UK, unless you turn to naughty VPN/proxy methods. Not that you would, would you?)

I chose to believe that Prince transformed his pain into art, and art is immortal; as Borges said: "the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so."
... details on Prince's alleged opiate purchases now being reported in various media, but source is one so-far anonymous informant, "Doctor D;" and, this could be just rumor.
from lyrics of "When Doves Cry" by Prince Rogers Nelson:
"How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry" You may choose more than one:
1. Prince Rogers Nelson
2. Addict
3. Idiot
4. Saint
5. Sinner
6. Human
7. Dead
8. Rich
9. Role Model
10. Monster
11. Famous
12. Infamous
13. Non-drinker (alcohol)
14. Non-smoker (tobacco)
15. Health food enthusiast
16. Jehovah's Witness (religion)
I think I'll go with 1,2,6,7,8,11,13,14,15,16 ... and ... 4.5 (I didn't say you had to think in integer).
'yo, Purpleness: thanks for the music, particularly for "Purple Rain;" oh, and ... the movie, yes, was moved by that in spite of its abuse of women, and creepily narcissistic qualities.
Hope you rest now in permanent peace and freedom from pain.

It informs Microsoft whether or not it has established control of your personal information.
If it hasn't, it moves on to try nastier methods.

You posted your question in the wrong forum. See that hint in the forum header?: "Technical discussions are encouraged, but click here to ask your programming question."
The code basically only attempts to establish a connection to the MySQL-server using the address and credentials in the connection string and shows a MessageBox telling you whether it succeeded or not.
Next time, please click the big green button "Ask a Question" on the homepage, it will lead you to the correct place to post a programming question.
