The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Best way to set up web service for data access?

Tags: asp.net, vb.net
OK, I'm developing a web site that, as a part of its functionality, allows users to upload pictures.  I've got standard aspx pages set up for this, all working fine.  However, I also need to provide a web service that will work with a facebook app (being written by someone else) to allow people to export to our web site from facebook directly.

My idea is to allow the web service to have two functions:
Firstly an authentication routine and secondly an upload routine.  To allow the facebook app to upload pics, it will have to send a guid. It can only get this guid by successfully authenticating. However, the guid used is NOT the actual userID, rather at the point of authentication, I will store the incoming IP of the request and generate a new GUID. Then I'll use the authentication credentials to establish the REAL userID and write both the "fake" guid and the real userID into a sql data table along with an expiry time of twenty minutes or so and the user IP I established.  This way I never have to pass back the real userID, only a fake one that has a limited lifespan and will only work for the ip that originally generated it.

I've created some tableadapters in a DAL to access the SQL database and I've also written some BLL classes to interface with the web service (although if you see my other question in this section, I cannot, at the moment, get the web service to access the BLL class for some reason...).  Does this actually sound like a sensible way of going  about doing this or is there a hideous mistake I'm making here?
