Comodo

I have used Comodo products before and I was glad because it's free. I used their AntiVirus and Firewall. The firewall worked good. It had all the minimum requirements I expected a firewall should have. The best part of it is that it's free! Well, I was quite disappointed with the antivirus. Although it worked fine in detecting viruses, it didn't work as effectively as the free AVG. The worst experience I had was when the antivirus caused some corruption in one of the windows system file. I removed both products. But then recently, I saw a very impressive improvement of Comodo. Although they aren't still at the top 10 antivirus softwares, it's good to know that major sites use one of their products for Internet security. Take for example the dotPh Philippine domain registry. They are using Comodo's Positive SSL for Trusted Internet. For a service provider to use it means high reliability. This gets me into considering Comodo back to my computers.
I'll be starting with the Firewall as I am not comfortable using the built-in Windows Firewall. Next on my list is their Anti-Malware. I currently use RRT but it's not the full edition and it keeps on showing their site whenever I close their GUI. Well, as for the anti-virus, I'm currently using Nod32 and will be testing Comodo slowly enough.

How to register a business name

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee.

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va

Using Firebird with ASP.net

In my previous post , I was able to connect a firebird 2.0 database to asp.net using controls. The next goal was to connect to a firebird database using the firebird.net engine and using the repeater control. I however, was able to use the firebird.net engine to connect to the firebird database but not to the repeater control. I used the html table tag. I've created a simple asp.net demo displaying the contents of a firebird database on page load. Here are the steps: 1. Things Needed: Firebird 2.0 Server Firebird 2.0 Client Visual Web Developer 2. In Visual Web Developer, create a new ASP.net Website (using C# as the programming language). The project will have a default page named Default.aspx. Make sure that the code is separate from the page (ex. Default.aspx.cs is separate from Default.aspx) 3. On the Website menu, click on Add Reference. 4. Select the Firebird - ADO.net 2.0 Data Provider and click Ok. 5. Add using FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient; to the "using" sec
