Another thing I had to do was a feasibility study on eID. This means I had to look into this technology, research what the possible uses are, if they can be implemented and how they have to be implemented.The eID project is an initiative from the Belgium government, to replace the current passport of every citizen by an eID card. This is a...

Another very nice tool was DebugView. This is a tool from Sysinternals that enables you to monitor all debug messages on your system. This allows you to have the following in your code:   Debug.Write("This is written trough System.Diagnostics.Debug.Write."); Trace.Write("This is written trough System.Diagnostics.Trace.Write.");  ...

During my internship I had to test against different kinds of products, and to be sure everything worked on a clean install of this product, I had to create multiple virtual PC’s. One method of doing this was to create one clean Windows 2003 installation inside Virtual PC and copy this image to a new folder for every different server I...

Blogs are a new communication medium, mainly used as a single-direction information channel. On a blog, the owner publishes new posts, which can be read and commented on by readers.This model looks a lot like a forum where treads are started and replies are given, expect on a blog, only the blog owner creates new posts. Some compare this model...

Another tool I had at my disposal was Microsoft Virtual PC. This is a product that enables you to run several operating systems inside your existing one, each one of them acting as a real PC.This was very useful when I needed to test some of the things I created on a different server, a Windows 2003 server running Windows SharePoint Services...

So, I implemented them as well.First, I created a new page, called PieChartReport.aspx, which was empty. After this I used the same code as the BarChartReport and filled up a ChartPointCollection, which I then used to...

NSurvey provides charting reporting by default, but this could be enhanced by using the Country List control together with the added Belgian Regions. With this question in a survey, as a required question, every entry would have location information. Together with MapPoint a graphical overview could be made, showing additional information per...

One of the standard controls of NSurvey is the Country List, which provides a dropdown list of countries. Belgium is one of these countries, but when you select Belgium, it doesn’t display the possible regions for Belgium.This is because the region information is also implemented with the subscriber model. When the country selection changes,...
