Is there any way to programmaticall y create an odbc system dsn in vb.net?
I have a bunch of DSNs that need to be created for SQL, Access, and
Timberline and i thought that it would make my life easier if i had a little
program that would run to create these DSNs instead of manually installing
them on each pc. I'm lazy - what can i say! :)
The ODBC drivers are already installed, i just need to create specific DSNs.
Any thoughts?

I implemented a URL rewriter which worked reasonably well, but now I am creating other sites on the same server (single IP). Because IIS will not accept subdomain wildcards (*.subdomain.com), it resolves the subdomain traffic back to the default site (e.g. the site with empty host header). From there it is possible to rewrite and pass the traffic back to correct web app and use the referring agent to get original url, but this gets messy 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,...
