Today I had to recover a password of a Microsoft Access database (mdb) file that I created and protected couple of years ago. As the file was created couple of years ago I had no clue on what password I used to protect mdf file as well as no hints on guessing the password too. The only option I had is to search for some applications that cracks the password of the Microsoft Access file.
After googling the web for couple of minutes I found a brilliant free application that cracks Access files – Access PassView. Using the application I recovered the password in a fraction of a second. The speed at which application cracked the password is really amazing. I was expecting that application is going to use brute force mechanism to crack the password and it will take some time. But the application is so brilliant; it does its job very quickly.
The official web site of the application says it is capable to recovering passwords from MS Access 95/97/2000/XP
This utility reveals the database password of every password-protected mdb file that created with Microsoft Access 95/97/2000/XP or with Jet Database Engine 3.0/4.0 . It can be very useful if you forgot your Access Database password and you want to recover it.
Even though there is no official word about recovering passwords from MS Access 2003 files, it recovered the password from my MS Access 2003 file. I tried the application on Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Another highlight of the application – there is no need to install. It comes as a ZIP file that can be extracted and start using it. What else we can ask for!. Hats off to the developer of this application.

assigned to FileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by assigning Ctrl+N to
the FileNewDialog command. In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a
macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the
quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed
to make it work).

FileCloseOrExit

there's a simple solution - assign Alt+F4 to FileExit instead.
61
Alt + F4 (Word 97)

assigned to FileNewDefault You can fix this in Word 2000 by assigning Ctrl+N to
the FileNewDialog command. In Word 97 the only way to fix it is to create a
macro called FileNew (to do this, press Alt + F8, type "FileNew" without the
quotes and Click "Create". The macro will automatically contain the code needed
to make it work).

Add Google Maps to your .Net site
Ever wanted to add a Google Map to your site but only had 15 minutes to spare? Now you can add a map and still have time to brag to your mates and bask in the worship that (inevitably) comes afterward.
Basically, the guys over at subgurim.net have already done all the hard work in writing the .Net wrapper for Google Maps. Problem is, the examples on their site are mostly in spanish & its a bit difficult to find out exactly what is needed to get everything working.
But all this is cutting into your bragging time - so lets get started!
1. Get a Google Maps API key from here:
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/
2. Download the SubGurim wrapper dll from here:
http://en.googlemaps.subgurim.net/descargar.aspx
3. Unzip it, and put it in your \bin directory
4. Add it to your toolbox by
Tools -> Choose Toolbox Items -> Browse -> Select the .dll file -> OK
GMap will now be in the ‘Standard’ area of your Toolbox.
5. Add a new webpage.
6. Drag the GMap from the toolbox onto the page. A new instance of the GMap will appear on the page, with the name ‘GMap1′
7. Add the following lines to your web.config file:
appsettings>
add key="googlemaps.subgurim.net" value="YourGoogleMapsAPIKeyHere" />
/appSettings>
8. Add the following code to your Page.Load sub
Dim sStreetAddress As String
Dim sMapKey As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("googlemaps.subgurim.net")
Dim GeoCode As Subgurim.Controles.GeoCode
sStreetAddress = "100 Russell St. Melbourne. VIC. 3000. Australia"
GeoCode = GMap1.geoCodeRequest(sStreetAddress, sMapKey)
Dim gLatLng As New Subgurim.Controles.GLatLng(GeoCode.Placemark.coordinates.lat, GeoCode.Placemark.coordinates.lng)
GMap1.setCenter(gLatLng, 16, Subgurim.Controles.GMapType.GTypes.Normal)
Dim oMarker As New Subgurim.Controles.GMarker(gLatLng)
GMap1.addGMarker(oMarker)

Improving Performance with Connection Pooling
Opening a connection is a database-intensive task. It can be one of the slowest operations that you perform in an ASP.NET page. Furthermore, a database has a limited supply of connections, and each connection requires a certain amount of memory overhead (approximately 40 kilobytes per connection).
If you plan to have hundreds of users hitting your Web site simultaneously, the process of opening a database connection for each user can have a severe impact on the performance of your Web site.
Fortunately, you can safely ignore these bad warnings if you take advantage of connection pooling. When database connections are pooled, a set of connections is kept open so that they can be shared among multiple users. When you request a new connection, an active connection is removed from the pool. When you close the connection, the connection is placed back in the pool.
Connection pooling is enabled for both OleDb and SqlClient connections by default.
To take advantage of connection pooling, you must be careful to do two things in your ASP.NET pages.
First, you must be careful to use the same exact connection string whenever you open a database connection. Only those connections opened with the same connection string can be placed in the same connection pool. For this reason you should place your connection string in the web.config file and retrieve it from this file whenever you need to open a connection
Second, you must also be careful to explicitly close whatever connection you open as quickly as possible. If you do not explicitly close a connection with the Close() method, the connection is never added back to the connection pool.

Difference between ASP & ASP.NET
ASP stands for Active Server Pages. ASP.NET is the next generation of ASP. After the introduction of ASP.NET, old ASP is called 'Classic ASP'.
Classic ASP uses vb script for server side coding. Vb Script is not supported any more in ASP.NET. Instead, ASP.NET supports more languages including C#, VB.NET, J# etc. VB.NET is very similar to vb script, so it should be easy for old Visual Basic or ASP programmers to switch to VB.NET and ASP.NET
VB Script is a simple scripting language, where as VB.NET or C# are modern, very powerfull, object oriented programming languages. Just for that reason, you will be able to write much more robust and reliable programs in ASP.NET compared to ASP.
In classic ASP, there was no server controls. You have to write all html tags manually. ASP.NET offers a very rich set of controls called Server Controls and Html Controls. It is very easy to drag and drop any controls to a web form. The VS.NET will automatically write the required HTML tags automatically for you.
ASP is interpreted, ASP.NET is compiled
Since ASP uses vb script, there is no compilation. All ASP pages are interpreted when th page is executed.
ASP.NET uses modern .NET languages like C#, VB.NET etc. They can be compiled to efficient Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL). When you compile an ASP.NET application, the server side code is compiled to assemblies. These assemblies are loaded at run time which makes the ASP.NET pages perform better than classic ASP.
ADO and ADO.NET
Classic ASP uses a technology called ADO to connect and work with databases. ASP.NET uses the ADO.NET technology (which is the next generation of ADO).
Event driven programming
If you have written Visual Basic programs before, you would love the event driven programming approach. It is so easy to drag and drop a button control and double click on the button to write the event handler for the button click event. When you click on the button at turn time, it will execute whatever code you have written in the event handler.
This type of event driven programming was not available with classic ASP. You cannot drag and drop a button and write a 'on click' event handler with ASP.
With ASP.NET, this is changed. It works pretty much like your Visual Basic program. You can write event handlers for several events like button click event, text changed event etc.
However, there is big difference between the way event handling works in regular Visual basic and ASP.NET. In ASP.NET, a page is loaded in the client browser. And the server may be in another location (may be in another country). When you click on the button in an ASP.NET page, the 'click event' handler has to be executed on the server, not on the client.
How does the server know when you click on a button your browser? This is a tricky thing in ASP.NET. When you write an event handler for a button lick or something like that in ASP.NET, lot of things happens behind the screens. ASP.NET will produce lot of client side javascript code to handle this and embed this javascript in the html page it sends to the browser. When you click on the button in the browser, the client side javascript will get executed. This javascript will generate some information required for the server and and submit the page request to the server. There is enough information embedded in this request so that the server will understand that user has clicked a specific button in the browser and it has to execute some 'specific event handler' code in the server side. So, when the user clicks on a button, the page is submitted automatically to the server with some special information. In the server side, it will process the event handler for the button click event and send back the output page to the browser again. Similary, you can write other event handlers like text changed event for Textboxes etc.
As a user of the web page, you will not even know what happened in the background. All you can see is, when you clicked the button, it executed the button click event handler in the server side and you got the result. However, you may notice a delay because the page has to be submitted to the server to execute the event handler.
NOTE: The event handling we just discussed is server side event handling. In addition to that, you can handle any events in the client side using Javascript. This is supported even in classic ASP. The client side event handling is used for simpel client side validation, displaying messages to the user etc. You cannot do any server side programming in client side java script (like accessing the database etc).
