Hey guys, I am starting a small project for a friend who expects to have
users do a normal logon process using UserName & Password variables. I want
to save some time and find a reliable piece of code with encrypt/decrypt

I have a DLL which is built first by compiling a JavaScript file with the
JSC.exe JavaScript compiler, and then linked with a strong name keyfile

I have a workflow where I copy the folder with my VS 2008 web project into a
backup folder, and then continue to edit in the project. I've noticed that

use that control in a web form I just drag it from the solution pane on to
my web form designer and VS does all the work of inserting the necessary

For some obscure reason, VS2008 pauses for a good 1-2 second between every
