As a side note I'm almost done with my MCSD: web applications certification. I have a bachelor in art but working as a full time as a front end with my current curriculum I can only do a master in IT which is 2 years, they won't let me in a master in Computer science or software engineering, which is pretty understandable.</p> <p>I have consider a lot of option, taking a bachelor in computer science, software engineering but having a master in IT seems more relevant. My goal is quite simple make more money (80k) doing any web related programming: website, e-commerce, web applications and get more knowledge.</p> <p>Any suggestion related to my educational path and career path is appreciated and yes I know... I'm pretty mess up so I want to reconsider my options.</p> 2013-05-18T16:14:11-04:002013-05-18T16:14:11.293-04:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005397180http://forums.asp.net/p/1906797/5397180.aspx/1?CertificationCertification <p>Hello all</p> <p>I wanna appear for certification exam for .net along with c# and sql server.</p> <p>can you tell me which exam should i give to get certification in above technologies. i haven't appear for any cerification exam before from microsoft before, i am biginner.</p> <p>Also let me know preparaion material for the same.</p> <p></p> <p>Thank you in advance.</p> 2013-05-17T15:31:34-04:002013-05-17T15:31:34.183-04:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005396947http://forums.asp.net/p/1906745/5396947.aspx/1?How+to+convert+any+video+formats+to+flv+video+format+using+c+with+ffmpeg+exe+How to convert any video formats to .flv video format using c# with ffmpeg.exe? <p>Hi there!</p> <p>Im doing video uploads on my web app and trying to convert all types of video formats to .flv format before uploading it to the root folder of my website project.&nbsp;I've been looking for a code in c# that could convert video formats to .flv format.<br> And I found this link: http://ramcrishna.blogspot.com/2008/09/playing-videos-like-youtube-and.html</p> <p>From this article I captured this section:</p> <p>*Convert the Video to flv format with FFMPEG<br> To Convert our video to SWF format FFMPEG need File Name, File Arguments.

I want to ask some clarification about his codes above. Please assist me on this. Here are some of my questions:</p> <p>1.On this line... <em><strong>filargs = &quot;-i &quot; &#43; inputfile &#43; &quot; -ar 22050 &quot; &#43; outputfile;</strong></em><br> <em><strong>inputfile = FileUpload1.PostedFile.Filename;</strong></em> // Is this what the author meant?</p> <p>2. What is the variable '<em><strong>outputfile</strong></em>' that the author was trying to demonstrate?<br> Or what is the equivalent value of this variable '<em><strong>outputfile</strong></em>' it stands for?</p> <p>3.Lastly, from this line...<em><strong> proc.StartInfo.FileName = spath &#43; &quot;\\ffmpeg\\ffmpeg.exe&quot;;</strong></em><br> The author says &quot;File Name is the name of the FFMPEG folder with full path.&quot;<br> As far as I understood <strong><em>\\ffmpeg</em></strong> is the root folder and <em> <strong>\\ffmpeg.exe</strong></em> is the filename<br> right? So, what does the variable '<em><strong>spath'</strong></em> stands for?</p> <p>That's all.. I hope somebody can help me clarify some of the codes above. I greatly<br> appreciate for any help rendered..Thanks in advance.</p> <p><br> <br> </p> 2013-05-17T11:35:01-04:002013-05-17T11:35:01.11-04:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005396397http://forums.asp.net/p/1906614/5396397.aspx/1?Why+am+I+getting+The+name+Serial+does+not+exist+in+the+current+context+Why am I getting, "The name 'Serial' does not exist in the current context"? <p>On the last line below, the compiler is stopping dead in its building tracks and sniveling, &quot;<em>The name 'Serial' does not exist in the current context</em>&quot;</p> <pre class="prettyprint">public class ReceiptRptController : Controller { [HttpPost] public ActionResult ReceiptRptCriteria(ReceiptRptModel model) { if (ModelState.IsValid) { string serialNumber = SSCSCustomer.GetCustomerNumberFromUsername(User.Identity.Name); model.NumberOfResults = 0; CriteriaContract criteria = new CriteriaContract(); //this comes from &quot;code generated by a tool&quot; in Reference.cs criteria.AutoPurge = true; criteria.Serial = Serial; . . .</pre> <p>Why would it say that, when it doesn't complain about AutoPurge?</p> <p>Right-clicking "AutoPurge" takes me here in Reference.cs (a class that was, according to the notes at the top, built by a tool):</p> <pre class="prettyprint">[System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()] public bool AutoPurge { get { return this.AutoPurgeField; } set { if ((this.AutoPurgeField.Equals(value) != true)) { this.AutoPurgeField = value; this.RaisePropertyChanged("AutoPurge"); } } } [System.Runtime.Serialization.DataMemberAttribute()] public int Serial { get { return this.SerialField; } set { if ((this.SerialField.Equals(value) != true)) { this.SerialField = value; this.RaisePropertyChanged("Serial"); } } }</pre> <p>If it can see public AutoPurge here, why is it blind to public Serial here?</p> 2013-05-16T21:09:39-04:002013-05-16T21:09:39.59-04:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005394949http://forums.asp.net/p/1906269/5394949.aspx/1?Computer+Science+vs+Computer+EngineerComputer Science vs Computer Engineer <p>Hello, I'm Daniel from Portugal, I'm just 16 in a course of informatics for management, I want to frequent a high school but I don't really know what to choose, I'm choosing between computer science and computer engineer, but I don't really know what is the difference and what is better for programming software and what is best to get a job in informatics.<br> Thanks and hope you understood my bad English...</p> 2013-05-15T14:56:47-04:002013-05-15T14:56:47.057-04:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005396303http://forums.asp.net/p/1906589/5396303.aspx/1?What+is+the+significance+of+the+CriteriaContract+s+type+value+What is the significance of the CriteriaContract's type value? <p>In trying to add a new Controller, and only using from the legacy controller what is absolutely needed (at first, anyway), I came across this code in the legacy Controller:</p> <pre class="prettyprint">CriteriaContract criteria = new CriteriaContract(); //this comes from &quot;code generated by a tool&quot; in Reference.cs criteria.AutoPurge = true; criteria.Serial = Serial; criteria.parameters = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt;(); criteria.type = DatasourceType.ReceiptCollection; . . .</pre> <p>That last line intrigued me, as I thought, "ah!

What is the cerfication path for a web developer like first I need to become MCPD then MC... and so on?</p> <p>2. Under MCPD, I saw many exams listed, do I need to pass them all to become MCPD or I need to pass only one exam?</p> <p>3. I mainly work with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and MS SQL Server 2008R2 for my website development. Which exam(s) should I take first?&nbsp;</p> <p>4. I heard many exams are going to retired. What does this mean for me based on the technologies I mentioned in #2? Does it mean I need to take another exam to keep my cerfication valid? Should I take those exam anyways?</p> <p>Thanks for your advice.</p> <p>Regards;</p> <p></p> 2013-03-05T10:46:03-05:002013-03-05T10:46:03.41-05:00urn:uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000005325352http://forums.asp.net/p/1888083/5325352.aspx/1?Microsoft+Certification+Like+MCTS+MCSD+MCPDMicrosoft Certification Like MCTS,MCSD,MCPD <p>Hi All,</p> <p>&nbsp;I have 2&#43; years of exp in Asp.net ,MVVM, Windows App,ADO.Net etc.&nbsp;</p> <p>I would like to do certification in asp.net , i did a littile bit research on it i found some of the exam list i.e&nbsp;<strong>MCTS,MCSD,MCPD</strong></p> <p>Could you please tell me the what is the difference among them , which one is suits for me , is there any other Exams which has a high priority in the present &nbsp;market , please guide me .&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance</p> <p></p> 2013-03-08T04:50:31-05:002013-03-08T04:50:31.8-05:00
