I HATE ASP

Ok i have one Small statment I Hate Bad writen Asp witch is only readable by the programmer who wrote it.
Second i hate to have to intergrate a ASP.NET system that i wrote into one of the 3 versions after that made me clear that all versions where about the same and finding out after making a great intergration into one version that the other two are totaly diffrend.

O yeah one last think ASP.NET is a 100000000000000000000000000000% better then ASP (this is a personal oppinion)

Internal Compiler Error: stage 'BEGIN'

Strange error:
Internal Compiler Error: stage 'BEGIN'
and a lot more this because some enum i use the problem was that i typed Database.NameOfTheEnum.Option1 where Class was defined as Database.DB Class = new Database.DB()
But i didn't know that i just couldn't access a enum like that.
The way to access one is Database.DB.NameOfTheEnum.Option1 if you get my point hope you do.

It has some really cool options the best is the window capture then you can select the window witch you want to capture.

Password encoding

Here is the way i encode my passwords for the database:
System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider rng = new System.Security.Cryptography.RNGCryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] buff = new byte[16];
rng.GetBytes(buff);
string salt = Convert.ToBase64String(buff);
string encodeType = "SHA1"; //You can also use "MD5"
string pass = System.Web.Security.FormsAuthentication.HashPasswordForStoringInConfigFile (salt + txtPass.Text, encodeType);

As you can see i use a new salt for every password but you can also just set a static salt :)

C# password generator function

Here is a password generator:
public static string CreateRandomPassword(int PasswordLength)
  {
   string _allowedChars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@$?";
   Byte[] randomBytes = new Byte[PasswordLength];
   char[] chars = new char[PasswordLength];
   int allowedCharCount = _allowedChars.Length;

   for(int i = 0;i<PasswordLength;i++)
   {
    chars[i] = _allowedChars[(int)randomBytes[i] % allowedCharCount];
   }

   return new string(chars);
  }
