What is the best way in which to uniquely identify anonymous visitors
to an asp.net website? I'd like to create on online poll, but I want
to guard against people hitting the refresh button, scripting posts to
the web form, deleting cookies, ect…
Does anyone have any ideas or know where I might find any good online
resources?
TIA,
Sean

The best you can do is approximate the number of users by sending a
persistent cookie to each client. Even this approach isn't perfect,
because people can disable cookies, and delete cookies, and multiple
users could share the same computer.

If you are allowing anonymous access then there will always be a away around
what you are requesting. You will have to have a unique identifier and you
can help limit this but it will never be 100%.

I was wondering what the best approach to handling a shopping cart was. My
concerns
1. Cookies not accepted (session variables not maintained and setting
retreiving cookies doesn't work)
2. Use an IP (people behind firewalls or using NAT or other subrouting
appear as same client)
3. Use of GET (people can bookmark cart contents then return and an order
has been fuffilled but shows as new because contents of string are
bookmarked too)

i am having trouble updating a datset because i get the follwing error
in the Data Adapter configuration Wizard:
Generated UPDATE statement. could not determine which columns uniquely
identify the rows for "Customers"
'Customers' is the only table from the database that im using for this
query, so it cant be anything to do with a problem of having multiple
tables. and the primary key is set. so i dont understand what the
problem is.

Hi,
What are APIs can used to get information used to uniquely identify a PC
system?
Indeed the only thing I really want is to find a mechanism to generate a
global unique key to identiy my software installed across customers. The
installation package is same, when my client install it, I will write some
unique key to the database for later importing/exorting data to use.

Hi
I am developing scripts in C# which can be used to test windows based
applications. I use Win32 API's to perform click operations etc. To uniquely
identify a control in a window rather than using absolute position of a
control I have been using Control-ids and captions of the control. But I
found scenarios where the control-id was dynamic and the control didn't have
a caption. What I mean by caption is the text of the control. A...

A quick sanity check, and I think I am correct, but just to make
sure: if you have a bunch of objects that are very much like one
another you can uniquely track them simply by using an ArrayList or
Array, correct? An example: create the object, create an array, the
stuff the object into the array. Later on, assume the object is
mutable, the object changes, but you can find it, if you have enough
state information to uniquely identify...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
