Microsoft Agent is an unprecedented technology to create innovative, new conversational interfaces for applications and Web pages. It provides powerful animation capability, interactivity, and versatility, with incredible ease of development. Microsoft Agent is a technology that provides a foundation for more natural ways for people to communicate with their computers. It is a set of software services that enable developers to incorporate interactive animated characters into their applications and Web pages. These characters can speak, via a Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine or recorded audio, and even accept spoken voice commands. Microsoft Agent empowers developers to extend the user interface beyond the conventional mouse and keyboard interactions prevalent today. Enhancing applications and Web pages with a visible interactive personality will both broaden and humanize the interaction between users and their computers. There are a limitless number of roles and functions that developers can create for these personalities to perform…

The purpose of this article is demonstrate how to build a Windows Forms application that encrypts files through the use of the RijndaelManaged class, a symmetric algorithm, which is used to encrypt and decrypt data by using its automatically generated Key and IV. Encryption involves the creation of a cipher (an algorithm) that takes data and a generated key as its input. The algorithm will behave in accordance with the length of the key. A symmetric algorithm is one that uses the same key to both decrypt and encrypt the data file. In our case, we will use the RSACryptoServiceProvider, an asymmetric algorithm, to encrypt and decrypt the key to the data encrypted by RijndaelManaged…

SharePoint is without question a fast-growing platform and Microsoft is making lots of money with it. It’s been around for almost a decade and grew from a small list and document management application into an application development platform on top of ASP.NET using its own API to manage content in the SharePoint Content Database.

Over the years many things have changed – but some haven’t – like – SharePoint still uses a single database table to store ALL items in any SharePoint List. And this brings me straight into the #1 problem I have seen when working with companies that implemented their own solution based on SharePoint…
