I just installed FSX on my poor Athlon 64 2.2GHz with ATI 256MB video and 1GB RAM. It's barely acceptable.

When I called tech support to help me get through the godawful activation process (took 2 hours and 6 phone calls), the tech in India recommended 3.6GHz (3.6??), 512MB video RAM, and 2GB RAM.

Can someone recommend a system for around $1200 that matches these specs? I have plently of monitors, etc. so I just need a new box...

I know how to restrict access to given pages and paths by role. What I'd like to do is restrict content like server controls by role on any arbitrary page, or even alter which "view" is presented by role. Is there a design pattern for this? Also, how can this be done without hardcoding the roles in the code?

Thanks,

What's a "feacher" ?

Does anyone know of a free (maybe open source) ASP.NET application for tech support, help desk, etc.?

I've tried these command lines:

adsutil.vbs create_vserv W3SVC/2

adsutil.vbs create W3SVC/2 "IIsWebServer"

but I'm getting 0x8000500F ("Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation")

I also get the same exception when calling this from C#:

DirectoryEntry site = (DirectoryEntry)root.Invoke("Create", "IIsWebServer", 2); // or any value for Site ID

I'm running both scenarios as domain admin.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

A story about a man and a stubborn server that just won't start. The game is one of agility, speed and determination. It is a true man versus machine duel to the death.

Right, but I have several roles and I want to drive it off the sitemap file like this:

<siteMapNode url="~/UserProfile.aspx" title="Profile" description="" roles="*" />

<siteMapNode url="~/Admin/Default.aspx" title="Admin" description="" roles="Admin" />

<siteMapNode url="~/Seller/Storefronts/Default.aspx" title="Storefronts" description="" roles="Seller"/>

Not sure how much conditional logic you can cram into a page without code-behind. I'm also not sure what I need to import to get "User.Identity.IsInRole" to resolve.

I have the following nav template:

<asp:Repeater ID="TopNavRepeat" runat="server"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1">
   <HeaderTemplate>
      <ul>
   </HeaderTemplate>
   <ItemTemplate>
      <li>
      <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"
       Text='<%# Eval("Title") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Url") %>'
       ToolTip='<%# Eval("Description") %>' />
      </li>
   </ItemTemplate>
   <FooterTemplate>
      </ul>
   </FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

How do I render the <li> for only those sitemap nodes for which the user's role has access? (i.e. roles="Admins" in Web.sitemap)

Thanks,
Mark

You can do it a few ways, the easiest would be to write a loop that writes the html in, it will run through an array or something and if the url of that item matches the current url, itll put something like...
