This routine will get an image stored in a SQL database (IBM Informix shown here) as a BLOB and return it to the screen.

To place this on an HTML page simply add

I have an MD5 hashed version as well, but can't share that...(So you can have encrypted id's passed)

Have fun,

I use something similar to this in an application named Shock 3. It provides you with your own Custom settings that can handle your own Custom types as well.

This snippet also you to limit the input in a form field to a specified number of characters. It displays a counter so users can see how many characters they have left, and once they reach the limit the field just trims the length to your limit.

The following is a snippet from what I used when I implemented a tagboard to my site. Further revisions could/should read the LIMIT from the maxlength attribute

I think that the problem comes when you populate a DataGrid's dataProvider with data from a a remoting call, such as a RecordSet returned from AMFPHP. The remoting protocol doesn't remember the datatype of each database column, so once you get the RecordSet back to ActionScript everything has become a String. You could go to the trouble of casting every numeric column's contents in the RecordSet to a Number so that the DataGrid will sort those columns numerically (1, 2, 3, ...) rather than lexicographically (1, 10, 11, ..., 2, 20, ...)... or you could throw this quick little function in and tell it which columns you consider numeric. It will replace the default sorting behavior with one that casts to numbers before comparing, when dealing in the columns you specify. Pass it an array of the columns' indices and the DataGrid in question. Non-numeric strings in the columns you specify will get treated as 0 and left unsorted at the top.

Description:
Call one of the overloaded functions and a you will have a randomly generated password.

Generate() - Will generate a password 13 or (more/less) characters in length ranging from A-Z a-z 0-9 and other characters such as @ # %... etc.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer)
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char) - Allows you to set your ASCII range if you wish not to include number for example.

Generate(ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate() buts characters passed in the array will not be used to generate the password.

Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer, ByVal ExcludeValues As String())
Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char, ByVal ExcludeValues As String()) - Works like Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Integer, ByVal AsciiMax As Integer) & Generate(ByVal AsciiMin As Char, ByVal AsciiMax As Char), but allows you to also exclude characters that you do not wish the generator to use.



UPDATE
03/06/2006: Included use of Phill64's TrueRandom2 class for generating random numbers. Also overloaded the constructor so that a length can be set for the password, if the length is not set the default is set to 13.

This could be used for any type of simple hash checking. It could also be used to store a "password" that had to be verified. This code is completely managed.

Returns a percentage. There are 3 arguments.

1. complete - How much is done?
2. total - How much is there?
3. maxPercentage - Total percentage possible, usually 100.

Simple, yep.

Counting for loop in VB.NET. Looks easy because it is, but I saw one submitted for PHP.

The below code will generate a form dropdown for all the days of the month, with today's day selected. Handy for those date pickers!

The below code will generate a form dropdown for all 12 months, with the current month selected. Handy for those date pickers!

This function provides the reverse of a string. It is constructed using string builder because strings in .NET are immutable, while stringbuilders are not. Therefore large strings could be slow to reverse if a regular string was used for the working value that is returned.

This function returns a stack trace for an exception with all inner exceptions include unless the count of inner exceptions goes over 50. A stack overflow can occur if there is no upper limit for inner exceptions to read from.

Makes use of stringbuilder to build return string in order to yield higher performance.

Returns a string collection of IP addresses for a passed in domain name.
