  • How to seal drywall with salt water contamination?

    I had a water softener leak in the basement which resulted in a lot of salt water absorbing into the drywall. Everything has since been dried, but there are salt deposits forming on the surface of the drywall. All of the drywall is green board as a preventative measure in case of flooding.

    I have tried to scrape/sand the affected areas, applied oil-based primer, patched with drywall compound, and then applied another coat of oil based-primer prior to painting. Still the salt deposits come back, even after multiple coats of oil-based primer.

    Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

  • What to do against attempted online identity thief?

    Someone has been attempting to gain access to my girlfriends online accounts. This includes all large ecommerce sites, email, Facebook, Paypal, etc. The person has also been creating new accounts under my girlfriends name and attempting to have sites like Ebay and Paypal transfer the account over to the fake email address. The attacker apparently knew my girlfriends security questions for Ebay as they temporarily had access to the account. We believe we know who this is, as there has been a problem with a certain person in the past. But we are not positive.

    Through password reset attempt emails from Ebay, we learned several different IP addresses used by the attacker. I ran scans on all of the IP's to try to determine more information about the attacker. The first IP came through a local AT&T router and the device used was a Sony Ericson. Ebay said the second IP was from a sprint device. I ran scans on this IP but the host was down. The third IP was running a firewall, but AT&T says that the location is in Scranton, Pennsylvania from a network operations center. I'm not sure if this is the same local attacker using a VPN, or someone else entirely?

    We have all of the access attempt/password reset emails saved and know where the attacks appeared to come from, but are unsure how to proceed. Do we contact AT&T or Sprint or some higher authority? Any suggestions or feedback on personal experiences would be great.

    Thank you!

  • C# Populate DataTable from Access?

    I am having some trouble binding a datatable returned from a query to a datagridview. I believe the problem is in the GetTableFromQuery(...) method. Debug shows no table rows being populated after the query execution. The table contains no data in the datagridview after binding the datasource.

    Here's the query and call to database operation.

    private void buttonFilterCustomers_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

    DataTable dt = new DataTable();

    string query = "SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE '" + comboBoxFilterCustomers.SelectedItem.ToString() + "' = '" + textBoxFilterValueCustomers.Text.ToString() + "'";

    dt = DatabaseOperations.GetTableFromQuery(query, null, CommandType.Text);

    dataGridViewCustomers.DataSource = dt;

    }

    Here's the database operation. Sorry for the lack of indentation.

    public static DataTable GetTableFromQuery(string query, Dictionary<string, object> parameters, CommandType commandType)

    {

    DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();

    using (OleDbConnection conn = GetConnection())

    {

    using (OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(query, conn))

    {

    cmd.CommandType = commandType;

    if (parameters != null)

    {

    foreach (KeyValuePair<string, object> parameter in parameters)

    {

    cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue(parameter.Key, parameter.Value);

    }

    }

    using (OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd))

    {

    adapter.Fill(dataTable);

    }

    }

    }

    return dataTable;

    }

Should I make any changes? Thanks in advance!

  • SQL Query INNER JOIN Problem?

    Hello,

    I am having a problem with a SQL query. I have three tables in my Access db as follows:

    ClassTable

    -classId (key)

    -classification

    PhotoClassTable

    -photoId (key)

    -classId

    PhotoTable

    -photoId (key)

    -subject

    -date

    ClassTable has a one to many relationship to PhotoClassTable, which has a many to one relationship with PhotoTable.

    It's a C# Windows Form Application. There is a ComboBox to select the classification. On change I want a ListBox to contain the photoId, subject, and date of the pictures corresponding to the classification. I have a query which will display the photoId according to classification, but I can not seem to get the second inner join to show the three fields from PhotoTable corresponding to the selected photoId's.

    My current query to join ClassTable and PhotoClassTable is as follows:

    string querySQL = "SELECT photoId FROM PhotoClassTable INNER JOIN ClassTable

    ON PhotoClassTable.classId = ClassTable.classId

    WHERE ClassTable.classification = '" + comboBoxClassify.SelectedValue + "'";

    Here's my latest attempt at the three table join:

    string querySQL = "SELECT a.photoId, a.subject, a.date FROM PhotoTable a INNER JOIN PhotoClassTable b

    ON a.photoId = b.photoId JOIN ClassTable c

    ON b.classId = c.classId

    WHERE c.classification = '" + comboBoxClassify.SelectedValue + "'";

    I'm probably missing something simple... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • Need to hook up wired speakers to a DVD player?

    I have a 5 piece surround sound speaker set from an old AV unit I used to have. I want to hook these up to a DVD player but it doesn't have the standard speaker wire output. It has S-Video, optical, component, and digital video output. Is there some kind of converter I can use to go from one of these outputs to five speaker wire outputs?

    This is where I read in the data from a text file, save each line as a BigInteger.

  • What's the best free CMS tool for websites?

    I have a potential client who wants a website designed in DreamWeaver. One of their staff wants to be able to easily update text and pictures. The person doing this updating has no coding experience.

    I understand that the newest version of DW, which I would be using, contains a content management system. However, I haven't used DW since version 3 and don't remember a CMS feature then.

    So basically, I want to be able to present additional no-cost options to the client for convenient maintenance options if the DW CMS tool is not to their suiting.

    If anyone knows of some good CMS tools I would appreciate the help! Don't feel you're helping me make money, this is volunteer for a non-profit!
