Could you please shed some light on that?

Windows 7 - sharing file - slow seek time?

I do not want to copy the files. I simply have video files (.flv) on one computer and I would like another computer user to watch them without copying. Playback is fine, but seek time (as in if you move the cursor to skip some portion of the video) takes forever! I thought wireless speed might be the culprit, so I wired the two computer. Maybe I saw some improvement but still so bad. It's 1 Gbps! (I know real speed will vary, but before I monitor real speed and such, do I have reasonable issue? Or am I bound to have very slow seek time?) What is going on? I must mention some of these files are huge!

Windows Home 7 and virtualization

- by progtick

so apparently, you can't use VirtualBox etc with Windows Home 7. because you would be using two licenses instead of one. So other users that tried virtualization with Windows Home Premium 7, did you just end up using another OS like Ubuntu etc? Did you find a workaround for using Windows? When I say virtualization, I mean virtual machine of sort - where dangerous websites can be visited, nasty applications can be tried etc.

Unable to install IIS - Application Development Features - ASP.NET

- by progtick

If I install IIS with Application Development Features - ASP.NET (or installing IIS first and adding ASP.NET later on). It's giving me the dreaded error: An error has occurred. Not all of the features were successfully changed. I tried uninstalling WAS. I uninstalled and reinstalled .NET 3.5.1. I repaird .NET 4.0 If I install IIS without that feature, then it would let me. Any suggestions?! Is this the correct place to ask this question?

asp.net mvc url routing

- by progtick

How do I map something like domain.com/username? The problem is I think that the MVC routing looks for the controller to determine how it should handle the mapping request. I am pretty new to ASP.NET MVC. However, based on the tutorials so far, the routing mechanism seems rather rigid.

asp.net mvc model - my own database

- by progtick

The tutorials I have come across usually let you create a dababase from scratch creating a .mdf file or something and so on. However, what if I already have a SQL Server Express set up with the needed database? How do I tell my model to use that database? Right now, all my model contains is basically some classes that execute stored procedure on my own database and return manupulated data. Should I leave it as it is? What are the benefits of going through the full-fledged model approach that tutorials demonstrate?

I am using Ajax.BeginForm to post comment. How should I update the Comments section area to incorporate this new comment? I am displaying comments on the page using the typical "foreach(Comment comment in Model.Comments)"
