Change/recompile An .exe At Runtime?
Apr 24, 2011
I am creating a program that will be sold as a subscription. I am trying to decide how to prevent users from passing the program to others without purchasing it. I was thinking that on the very first run, the program could pull the MAC address from the computer it is run on, and create a constant at run time. This constant is then hard wired into the program and is used for comparison every time the program is run thereafter. If the MAC address do not match, it is on a different computer.
How do I recompile my .exe to include a globally declared constant used for comparison? And how do I use this variable throughout my program?Or is there a simpler way to create my program to require Key Codes for renewal once per year?

I am relatively new to this framework thing and we used VB2002 and wrote a program with framework 1.0. Now we need to run the program in Vista, .Net 1.0 is not compatible (I think) and needed to be changed to .Net 1.1. How do we recompile the program to framework 1.1 in VB2002?

Using VS 2008, I run into problems with many pacakages because when I make changes and press the green arrow key to compile and run, it does not always recompile, so sometimes I run the former executable, even though I made changes to it.Anybody came accross that problem? It is very annoying. The only way that I can make sure VB recompiles my program after a change, is to manually delete the executable in bin/debug before running it, otherwise I keep on seeing bugs in my program that I just fixed.Usually if I recreate my package from scratch, the problem disappears for a while, so I suspect that the problem is caused by a setting that changes by itself in my package, but I have no proof of that.

I've been giving the task to make some changes and recompile a 2005 vb project. I've asked for the .vbproj file and I've been given two files the .sln and an .suo file. And the email said to "You'll need to download and install the Microsoft Web Deployment Project add-in for Visual Studio 2005 . Here is the link for the download[URL].. I've never used ms web deployment project before. is this all I really need? will this create the .vbproj file for me?

I've recently reorganized some files on my current project and renamed the namespaces. Now whenever I try to reference a method from an object that I've instantiated I get told by the debugger that I need to recompile any assemblies that reference that method.

I'm using vb.net and the my.settings interface. I don't fully understand how to properly modify the applications configuration after deployment without having to recompile (click once). I've tried going into the app files and modifying it there but it doesn't seem to change in program. I'm just trying to find a good way to handle settings and My.Settings.

I was thinking of an efficient way to add quarantining abilities to my antivirus application. I was thinking, which way is better: to copy the file into a specified directory and change its extension to none ("*. "). Either that or maybe I can save the file's binary code in an XML database. Which way s better?However, I have no idea how I will recompile the binary code once the user wants restore the file.

I'm writing an application for a device running Windows XP. There are 2 versions of the device and each version has its own API to communicate with the device's software. The application I'm writing needs to pull the same data from the API. My question is how to write a application that will detect at runtime which version of the device it is on and use the appropriate API.
I've created an interface containing all of the common methods and also classes for each device that implement the interface. Now I need to know how to activate the correct one at runtime.
Public Interface IAPI
Sub InitializeMachine()
Function GetActiveProgram() As String

I'm writing a Windows form application. I created a SQL database called myDB.mdf. The database/form connection was created using the wizard provided by VS2008. The connection string, table adapter, dataset, etc were all generated automatically. In runtime, I copied the database to several folders and I want to the application to connect to them one by one and do some data manipulation.
Here below are the relevant code I'm using:
Namespace My
Partial Friend NotInheritable Class MySettings
Public WriteOnly Property RunTimeConnectionString() As String

I have multiple urls to the same webservice, each with it's own "token". I need to switch from one url to another during runtime. I have planned to do this by storing my URLs inside a XML-file, and then read it, copy innertext of an element and overwrite the WS url in my app.config. My app reads and write to xml just fine, it is when I actually use a method from the webserivice proplems start to appear.

I did something that when I now load my program(VB 2008), my controls; combo boxes, buttons, progress bar, etc. look like they are from VB 2005 or like VBA buttons, not the rounded edge buttons of 2008.
They look like vb 2008 controls while I am in design view, but then they change their style when I run the program..

I'm trying to figure out how I can change a ListView's "Large ImageList" to another one at runtime. For example I have it attached to my Icons_64x64 ImageList right now but would want an option to switch it to Icons_128x128 at runtime. Hope that makes sense and someone has an idea out there. I haven't been able to come up with anything at all.

I'm writing a windows form application using vs2008. I need to connect to different SQL server express database files during runtime. There is a "how to do" video showing a technique for this
[Code]...
and then in the Form1_load sub and before calling the data adapter to fill data, insert codes below:
Dim strConnectingSting = NewConnectionString
My.Settings.RunTimeConnectionString = strConnectingSting
The method works but only for the first database. I found once adapter.fill is called and the connection to a database is established, the connection can't be changed.To do what I want, I have to create a startup project to call my main project. When I want to change connection, close the main project and start again.

I'm making a custom control that can be dragged around and it is semi transparent. I need it so that while it is moving (the mousemove event) that if it intersects a control that its parent becomes that control. I tried to have it iterate through all the controls and if control.bounds.intersectswith me.clientrectangle then me.parent = control type thing, but it did not work.
