  • Anything else like phpMyAdmin that works on ASP and MS-SQL ?

    I've used phpMyAdmin and its fine. But i'm forced to do some database changes. And those admins are lazy that they dont do themselves, nor am i allowed to go to server. I just have access to the webspace through FTP. I've been asked to write my own code in ASP only. I'm not much comfortable with asp, just kept doing sites using php/mysql/apache/win and ubuntu sometimes. It'd be easy for me to copy paste something like phpMyAdmin to the webspace, login, then execute SQL commands..

    Restrictions: Only ASP, and only MS-SQL.

    admins suck :( they dont go for opensource softwares #:-s

    Somebody plz help me.

    we're using a UDL file to connect to database.

    want and equivalent of phpMyAdmin such that it works in ms-sql/asp

    plz help me... its really urgent :(

  • Is it safe to connect 240V AC Bulb rated 100W to 240V DC?

    I just want to try working with a voltage multiplier with capacitors and diodes.

    I'm having two 6V batteries of 4.5Ah.

    Since i got the battery, Its having ~10V output. Lets assume 8V each. Together in series it'd b ~15V minimum.

    I can think of generating 50Hz (or required freq) with 555

    and

    using a H-Bridge(2N3055 and its PNP) or L298 (actually intended to drive motors), connect a voltage multiplier as load.

    Each capacitor in the voltage multiplier is rated 1000uF 63V.

    With around 20 capacitors, i should reach voltage near 200-250V. (while doing anyway I'll verify the batteries voltage x num of capacitors)

    For testing the working, i'd like to connect a bulb.

    I'm just afraid to connect this 200-250V DC supply to my bulb which is actually for AC.

    I guess i wont get so much power bcoz 15V*5A gives around 75W. So, can i just connect a 75W 220V AC Bulb to this DC output of my circuit?

    Is it safe??

    Any comments/suggestions?

  • What exactly are these connectors called?

    I've been using these for several months:

    http://img13.imageshack.us/my.php?image=image0566....

    Now I want to design my PCB. What's the exact name of these type of connectors?? And where'll I find them in DipTrace?? Do these require additional library files (apart from the default)?

    And Is it possible to have a 3D view of how my board will look after manufacture? coz I'm new to designing.

    ExpressPCB/pad2pad etc suck to the core.

  • Is it possible to change the voltage level from LPT Port?

    I use to interface the 16x2 LCD by connecting it to the Parallel Port and it use to work fine.. but after long time, i reconnected the circuit and connections are very fine. But i noticed that my LPT port now gives only 3.24V to 3.26V whereas it use to supply 4.96V sometime back. The LCD isn't responding, but I checked that every line is very finely controlled by the computer (checked it bit by bit). I don't remember if I changed any settings regarding LPT port. I guess its the low voltage that makes the LCD unresponsive. Am I right? Is there any way to change the voltage level of LPT port.

    Some 1 plz help me regarding this.

  • How to disable NTFS Encryption for the "Windows" (%windir%) directory? Please read details.?

    I use Microsoft Windows XP Professional which is installed in D: Drive. D: Drive is of NTFS Format.

    I want to replace mshta.exe with my own mshta.exe (i am a programmer) in \windows\system32 *

    This cannot be done when windows xp is running because windows doesnt allow you, it will undo changes as soon as you make any change in %windir% or its subfolders and files. So, I thought I can do it from WIN98 installed in C: Drive (FAT32). But when i look into the D: Drive from WIN98, the WINDOWS folder is not appearing. I also checked whether there is any hidden option set. But tht is not the prob. I am sure it is because of NTFS. Please help me solve this.

    * I'll tell the reason once you tell the solution.

    THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE.
