I want to replace all occurrences of illegal tags within an html string if that tag does not match my legal list.* WHat is the regex for that in C#? string[] legal = {"b","p","div","span","font","i","li","ol","ul","br","center","strong","table","tr","td","tbody","hr","u",@"h\d"}; html = Regex.Replace(html,"]*>","",RegexOptions.IgnoreCase|RegexOptions.Singleline); In this case it is matching all legal tags and removing them.* I want it to acutally remove all tags that are not apart of the legal list.

Im using ASP.NET 1.1.* An html editor tool is being used within the web page and so the results are coming back with some tags within it.* Is there some code i can use within C# to analyse the resulting string from the user to make sure there are no illegal tags within it (ie. SCRIPT, OBJECT, EMBED).* I dont want the user to insert any script attack / exploting tags within the html string. Thanks More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

The title was taken from the Digg post.* The actual article*had a less controversial title, though it's content was still FUD.* Basically, they're making to claims. 1.* The OSP only covers current versions of the specified standards, which means that Microsoft could potentially decline to provide similar guarantees for future versions. Response:* That's ALWAYS true.* Any standard can be "extended" by any party, and those extensions don't have to be submitted back to the standard.* I understand that the OSS folks have issue with the "embrace and extend" tactics (I'd tend to agree), but logic doesn't lead from that to concluding that extending is evil.* Extensions are the only true way to lead to evolution in standards.* It would be wrong for there to be no way for Microsoft to extend this, or any other, standard.* Just as wrong as it is for Microsoft, or any other company, to try and use extensions as a way to force lock-in. 2.* The second issue is that the promise does not apply to works beyond the scope of the covered specifications. Response:* No, really?* I don't like patents, but come on.* This is another no brainer, to me.* I can certainly see this as an argument to be made by the standards committee, if they are concerned about this.* Then Microsoft would have to decide whether or not to abandon the patents all together.* But it wouldn't make much sense for a company to give away more rights than they have to in a situation like this.* In fact, I'm willing to bet there are a lot of situations just like this in several standards today.* Rail against the patent mess, but it's FUD to attack any individual companies over issues like this.

When I don't have classes I do this to export my entry points: //######################## //C++ extern"C"__declspec(dllexport) int__stdcall SumUp_unmgdCPP(int a, int b, int* c) { *** c[0]=4; c[1]=3; c[2]=2; c[3]=1; //######################## //C# [DllImport("NameOfDLL", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] publicstaticexternint SumUp_unmgdCPP(int a, int b, int[] f); publicint SumUp(int a, int b, ref int[] f) { *** return SumUp_unmgdCPP(a, b, f); How do you do it in a C++ dll-project with*classes? I did this: class FMS { public: *** extern"C"__declspec(dllexport) int__stdcall SumUp_unmgdCPP(int a, int b, int* c); private: *** float m_WheelSpeed; // 1 } It complains about*the string "C" above being part of the declaration above. I don't think this is the way you do it when you have classes. Just paste the equivalent of what I'm doing in at the top in a dll-project with no classes but now*instead in a C++*dll-project with classes and I will be very thankful. /Lars More...

So, I just noticed that in May there'll be the DevDays in Amsterdam, and one of the speakers is one Dan Fernandez. Unfortunately, I can't afford the whole event, and you can't seem to register for just friday, but I did notice something called Geek Night on thursday, with a large banner that explicitly mentions Channel 9 and Coding4Fun. It's only €15, so I guess I'm registering for that. Will any other niners in the area be there? I assume Dan wil do a presentation on Popfly during the day.. any chance he'll be there on thursday night too? Anyone else from the C9 team? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I've noticed my desktop icons seem to be refreshing a lot more than I remember*in the past and any suspicious behavior always triggers paranoid malware fears in my mind, but that's beside the point. I was thinking about the rootkit "epidemic" and was wondering if they're still a legitimate risk on x64 Vista. As far as I understand, rootkits that effectively hide their presence (i.e. not showing up in the process list, registry,*file system, etc.) require a kernel mode component to intercept queries for information that could reveal them and return a modified result with themselves omitted. With x64 Vista closing the door on unsigned kernel drivers, is it still possible to have a truly stealthy rootkit (obviously moot if the rootkit is a signed)? Have there been any stories of Vista rootkits in the wild? More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

Being a purist, I insist all of my controls have the Display="Dynamic" and EnableClientScript="false" properties set. But they have the nasty habit of making my aspx source lines long and hard to read. Unfortunately ASP.NET Skin files only allow the setting of presentational attributes centrally and not functional attributes. I was thinking of setting the properties in my BasePage.Init event, but the validators might override that, I don't know if I can trust such a method. Any suggestions? More...
