VB.Net: Encrypt Password.

Unknown

If you are developing a password-protected web site or database, then are you sure about storing user password information securely?

Realize that the data in your database is not safe. So you could encrypt the data that you think it's important. Here is an algorithm by using MD5 to encrypt the text you have fielded.
Below is a sample code how to use MD5.
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Imports System.Text
Public Class Form1
    Dim md5CSP As New MD5CryptoServiceProvider()
    Dim textToEncrypt As Byte()

    Dim encoder As New UTF8Encoding()
    Sub Encrypter()
        textToEncrypt = md5CSP.ComputeHash(encoder.GetBytes(TextBox1.Text))
        TextBox2.Text = Convert.ToBase64String(textToEncrypt)
        TextBox2.Enabled = True
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Encrypter()
    End Sub
End Class

VB.Net Tip: Creating Regions

Unknown
As your code gets longer and longer, it becomes more and more difficult to navigate. While you can select classes and their methods from the drop-down lists above the main editor, you can also group your code into logical regions. Specify regions with the #region keyword and a description at the beginning of your segment and a corresponding #endregion keyword at the end of your segment.

Example:
#region My First Programming
    Sub Main()
            MsgBox("How To Create VB.net Region")
    End Sub
#endregion

The beauty of using regions is that you can collapse any region by clicking the plus sign next to the #regionkeyword. This collapses the code into a gray line that shows the region description. As a developer, you may already be aware of this feature because automatically generated code in VS.NET usually uses his feature,

NoteIn VB.Net you specify the region description in double-quotes. Also regions are not allowed within methods. Instead, create regions around methods and classes.

Increase the speed of your internet by choosing the best DNS servers

Unknown
Our computer will automatically choose the use of DNS servers for Internet access, and possibly this is not the best option. 

Following the next steps you can use a faster DNS servers to enhance your web browsing.

How to find fast DNS servers?

You can use public DNS servers instead of having. Start by lowering namebench open source  and GRC DNS Benchmark. Run both to see if they produce consistent results.




In namebench sure to select options Include global DNS providers and Include best available regional DNS services (Include global DNS providers and Include best available regional DNS services options), confirm your location and press Start benchmark ( Start Benchmark). The tool then run some tests.

In DNS Benchmark, press the Nameservers tab and click the Add / Remove button (Add / Remove). In the Edit window IP DNS servers, click Create personal list of Nameserver (Build Custom Nameserver List). In the resulting dialog, click Build custom list (Build Custom List) and wait about 40 minutes until the process finishes. When the list is complete, click Run benchmark (Benchmark Run) in the Nameservers tab.

In both tools, the servers that have faster response times should provide the best performance. Take note of the top three IP addresses.

Configure your router

To make all the systems on your network (regardless of OS) use the same server, you must change the configuration of the router. These are the basics, so it should study the manual to refer to specific steps.

In your Web browser, type 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in the address bar. If neither addresses work, choose Control Panel: > Network and Sharing Center> Change adapter settings , double click on the active network connection, press Details and find the address under 'IPv4 Default Gateway '. Take that address, add 'http://' in front of it and paste it in the address bar of your browser.

Access the router (check your manual for the proper credentials). Click Basic Settings or Network Configuration and look for a section called "Configuring server network address (DHCP) '[Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)] or something similar. Enter the IP address of there faster to the area where DNS server resides. Save the changes and then restart the router.

Share internet from your computer to others

Unknown

If you want to share your internet from your computer to other nearby PCs or Tablets I want to introduce you a software name Virtual Router Plus. This app is support with windows 7 and 8.

Virtual Router Plus  is an excellent tool that allows you to  create a virtual router and share the internet connection with other computers . The good thing is that we do not need a router, which is very useful if there we travel and we want to share the internet connection  with others.

The operation is very simple and safe, just run it, specify the network name, password, and choose where the connection comes (as it can be USB, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.). Once configured that give the "virtual router plus Start" and ready, and the network button is created.

Then when the other teams wish they will connect the network name as we normally do, enter the pass and go.

What is MP3 Tag?

Unknown

An MP3 tag is a metadata container in an MP3 file (ID3). It tells the information about the mp3 file and embedded in the file structure and contains data for tags like artist, track number, album, genre, year, etc. This information can be used by MP3 players, media players, software players, and can also be edited using MP3 tag editors.
When you're playing a song and see the album art image, name of the artist, album name, etc, all of these information contained in ID3. There are two unrelated versions of ID3:

ID3V1: The older ID3v1 tag which is located at the end of an MP3 file takes up 128 bytes of space. This metadata container supports up to 30 bytes for tags such as artist, album, etc.; shorter tags such as genre have a 1 byte allocation. The updated ID3v1.1 tag has an additional track number tag that the original ID3V1 doesn't.

ID3V2:The ID3V2 specification which was released in 1998, is a frame-based container that is located at the beginning of an MP3 file. So far, there have been 3 revisions of this specification (ID3V2.2 / ID3V2.3 / ID3V2.4). Compared to the old ID3V1 and ID3V1.1, this format is very flexible and can contain up to 256Mb of metadata (max. 16Mb per frame). Currently there are 84 different frame types - you can use some of these to embed album art, lyrics, Website addresses, and more.
