Dumb Question

[rodney lush]

I have posted a problem on here that I have with Colorvision's Photocal. Colorvision seems to think I have an old spyder that is not working correctly. They are currently sending me a new spyder. My dumb question is, after calibrating with photocal, my target images from my lab and colorvision look great in other imaging programs such as factory set programs on my computer, but not in photoshop. It is like photoshop is the only program having problems with the new profile. Is this typical with a defective spyder or do I have some problem with PS?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I cannot figure out how to draw a rectangle
or an elipse without a fill. I have, on accident before, been able to set
my fill to transparent, and it showed a box within the box I believe, but
for the life of me cannot figure it out now.

Thanks in advance.

hello,

I'm new to web services so please bear with me. Basically, I want to create
a web service that listens on port and requires authentication. After
authentication users can select data from a database by passign the TSQL
statement in the URL, they can also update and insert data. Is this
possible? if yes, are there any examples?

Thanks
troy

Hi Troy:

By reading your questions, it appears that you are doing standard database
CRUD (create, read, update, delete) stuff. Please do make sure (talk to
someone) that web services is _really_ required here. Web services are a
simple but misunderstood class of applications. I have seen some cases where
web services were misused leading to unnecessary complexity. In your case, I
may be wrong as I am making my judgement based just on your few lines. If I
am wrong, please pardon me. :)

Incase you are sure web services is the way to go for your application, here
are the answers:

Web services can be done in many ways. If you use ASMX (that is ASP.NET web
services, the most popular way), it handles the TCP port allocations, HTTP
connections, etc. for you. What you need to do is write web methods inside
the web service and call them through a proxy. Parameters passed to a web
method are passed in the body of the SOAP message. You don't require to
encode query values into URLs. This is also handled by web services
infrastructure.

As far as authentication goes, you could use IIS authentication or you could
write custom SOAP headers to implement custom application authentication.

Check out [url]http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/[/url] for some samples
of web service security. This will also be available if you have the .NET
SDK.

This may be a dumb question, but I can't seem to find the simple answer. DO I
or DON'T I as a web designer, need to own contribute to design sites that are
editable in Contribute. Or does Dreamweaver 2004 have those abilites built in?

[christina.heikkila]

Depends. Just to create the pages and/or templates so they are editable in
Contribute, no you do not need to have Contribute yourself. Contribute can
edit HTML pages that were originally created by anything (at least anything
we've tried.).

Now, if you want to _manage_ a site with several authors each with different
'rights' within the site (Joe can only edit pages in these three folders, Jan
can edit pages in these other folders, both of them are restricted to creating
new pages from your template, etc), then yes you do need a copy of Contribute
in order to set up those 'connection keys'. But if you're not going to do
anything like that, then you don't need Contribute.
