Thanks for considering this work request, I am willing to pay for work
done and would like to hear from people who can do it.

JOB: Adjust security for C# App hosting WebBrowser

I have used the code from Chapter 8 of Ted Faison's book "Component-based
Development with Visual C#" and now have a .NET Windows Forms WebBrowser
Written in C#.

Here is a description of the App so far...
1. The C# App returns properties, methods, and strings to the html pages via
window.external.somemethod("etc")
2. 100% of the useable Form area displays the WebBrowser control
3. Graphical User Interface will be done using html pages+script

There are 3 tasks that need to be done...
1. Lower the Security setting to the Level of a HyperText Application (HTA)
so that we don't get any more "An ActiveX control on this page might be
unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this
interaction?" pop-ups.

2. Suppress Script Errors and log the Time, FileName, LineNumber, and Error
Message to an xml file.

3. Helper functions/references to marshal the Custom method return values
into JScript types. Make it so C# can send all the different kinds of
JScript objects :: Arrays, Automation, XML docs, Dates, Objects (strings,
Booleans, numbers already work) via:
window.external.myCustomCSharpMethod(x,y,z)


Links for this project:
email me for a zip conatining the C# App.

The code base for this project was obtained from:
http://www.faisoncomputing.com/samples/programming_samples.htm
http://www.faisoncomputing.com/samples/CSharp/MyCustomWebBrowser_3.zip


The topic for this project is "WebBrowser Customization". I have not yet
found a working C# implementation of URL Security Zones,
IInternetHostSecurityManager, GetOverrideKeyPath, or what ever it is, that
allows ActiveX alerts, and script Error Dialogs to be turned off.

Newsgroup searches suggest that several people have found a way to do it,
but they've gone incommunicado. If there is a more inclusive, or concise
code base than Ted's that meets the requirements then I would be happy to
switch over and move on with the many other (more interesting) things that
need to be added.

Like eLance, I learned to stay away from RentACoder as I thought it
would be a good idea if I tried to earn more than $5 an hour for my work.

Yeah whats up with the rates on those jobs? For instance, there are a
lot of jobs for custom IE tool bands, most of which have time lines
between 7-14 days and pay around $70-$100 on completion. I'm making a
custom tool band for a client right now that has a time line of <14
days, has so far taken me about 5 days of which I have completed 75%
worth of it, and my client is donating $1000 to my cause.

Sound unreasonable to anyone? Because it's really $20/hr for 6 days of 8
hour/day work-days, and that's how much junior level developers make on
development teams in just about every Seattle corporation I can think of.

To the $100 tool band jobs (and esp. the $70 ones) that want MySQL
integration, pop-up blocking, and all sorts of neato features I say: eat
something that comes out of my body when I am reading a 1997 copy of PC
World and in my own personal executive washroom.

Vive making a living with skills you have and others don't,
Ben

Some poor Indian or Vietnamese programmer will take this job.
