[QUOTE="Koen Zomers, post: 677542, member: 108135"] I'm a bit confused with all the projects on Media Portal that live on this forum. Is this product the next release of the idea in [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/tv-server-plugins-294/consolidate-mediaportal-web-applications-82649/index5.html"]this topic[/URL] and gemx his webservice release? I just grabbed the latest version of the sourcecode of this product from the codestore and am now browsing through it. Not too disrespect all the great people who have put a tremendous amount of time in creating this, I'm a bit shocked by some things I see in the source code. Again, no disrespect, but it looks like the developers have a non Microsoft .NET background and are therefore missing some knowledge on how stuff works in the Microsoft .NET platform. Some samples are the "Authenticated" property in the session state property bag. .NET has built in functionality for this, so don't do this. This setup has great security implications. Also using the config.xml file which is plain and clear available via the webbrowser and exposes for example the admin username and password in clear text is really a big nono. Again, .NET has built in functionality for storing application settings. I also see ref params for types which are by reference by default, strings for example. Passing parameters by reference is a C++ thing which should be avoided at all cost in Microsoft .NET. Also ASMX is old Microsoft .NET 2.0 style webservices. You should use Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) instead which offers much more flexibility and security out of the box. I would gladly offer a helping hand to improve this product even more. Apparently there is a huge demand for it. I'm not saying I know everything about Microsoft .NET, but it's my daily profession and I achieved 11 Microsoft .NET certifications so far, so I think I will be able to contribute some knowledge in this project. Oxan, are you currently the only developer on this product or is there a team behind this? Could you use a helping hand in this product? [/QUOTE]
