I was reading an article about isolated storage and thought of doing the following.Encrypt files.Add them to Zip.Unzip the file,decrypt the content and copy all the files and folders into an isolated storage and then load a specific file into a web browser and launch lets say an HTML page I got stuck on the Isolated Storage thingy
here is a part of my code
'So far i unzipped the content of the Zip file
'Setup file streams to handle input and output.
fsInput = New System.IO.FileStream(strInputFile, FileMode.Open, _
[code]....
Encrypt files.Add them to Zip.Unzip the file,decrypt the content and copy all the files and folders into an isolated storage and then load a specific file into a web browser and launch lets say an HTML page)
The Windows Application we are coding uses an XML to store connection settings etc. The application also needs to update automatically online. The problem is that the config file is replaced when the application is updated and the user has to set up the application again (definetly not ideal!).I placed the XML file into isolated storage, no problems doing that. But still when the application is updated the isolated files get replaced/removed and the user has to reset their settings..
I'm restricted to .Net 3.5 so I can't use isolatedstorage.getfilenames() as in .NET 4. What I have below isn't working yet. I do get to the messageBox included in the code below but I can't find the file "IST_Log.txt" anywhere on Windows XP where I ran the program. I saw the messagebox appear 3 times meaning AppendLog was being called. What do I need to do to write this file on either XP or Windows 7?
Public Sub appendLog(ByVal message As [String]) ' Get the isolated store for this assembly Dim isf As IsolatedStorageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForAssembly() Dim format As String = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff" Dim isfs1 As IsolatedStorageFileStream [Code] .....
We are building application that stores objects to isolated storage using .NET runtime serialization. Problems occur when we update application by adding some new properties to the classes of objects we are serializing. So we want to do some kind of versioning of the objects in isolated storage so we can check if they are obsolete before they are deserialized.
I have a little problem with finding a file I stored in an isolated storage on my pc harddisk.The application stores a Hashtable ( Called example ) in an isolated storage like this:[code]
I am creating a password managment tool and for the storage I will be using a text file, I want to encrypt so I decided I will use the Rijndael cypher. I have found source code which does this to a file:
http:www.codeproje...ncryptFile.aspx. It is well explained but I am but still struggling to understand parts as I never looked at cryptography at all before.
Private Function CreateKey(ByVal strPassword As String) As Byte() 'Convert strPassword to an array and store in chrData. Dim chrData() As Char = strPassword.ToCharArray 'Use intLength to get strPassword size.
[Code]...
This assigns all of bytekey with half of the hash from byteresult. Am I correct? If not why not just use SHA256 instead of SHA512 as you are only using half of the hash. If somebody could explain this to me this would be great. Already confused and this is just creating the key, then the IV needs to be created(not sure what an Initialization vector does) then the encrypt/decrypt function. I think I will struggle understanding this but I am going to try.
I put "isolated context" in quotes because I don't know what else you would call it. Basically, in C#, you can do this:
{ int i = 0; } { int i = 1; }
The curly braces create an isolated context which allows you to declare two variables with the same name in the same method or property logic. Is this possible in VB.NET? Also, what do you call this aside from an isolated context?
I am using a MySQL Server on the net and a Windows Forms client program, which connects to this server.
I want to use SSL and have prepared everything, that this can be used. My primary question now is as follows:Where / how to store the files for the SSL certificate as best way? As embedded resource? as external file? As part of the My.Settings environment?
I have been trying to do this for about a month now (hard to get answer quick because of school), but i need to decrypt a file into memory. I know you have to "write all bytes to memory" but i have two problems with that, 1. I have never touched on that itself and don't know how to write the bytes of an executable to memory, 2. I still wouldn't know how to decrypt it in memory. Right now my code is:
ElseIf entype = "rc4" Then If File.Exists(thepath & exerandname) Then Kill(thepath & exerandname)
[code]....
it checks if the file exist then deletes it, then it opens the file and decrypts (_4reversecr.enc) the file(Cutter(1)) with the key (key)?
I'm making an installer that needs to have information stored inside the exe itself.I cannot use my.settings because it is stored outside the application and if it is changed and the exe is moved to another computer it will reset to default.
And I cannot use resources since I cannot add/edit resources after the application is build.
Is there any way I can store and change info even if the application is moved to another location?
I want to add an array to the class `StopwatchStorage` but can't figure out how without some ambiguous warning or error popping up. The Array will contain TimeSpan type elements (essentually an array of Stopwatch.Elapsed values)
How do I declare and add a dynamically sized array to the class. I know that I will have to use the UBound function each time I want to add a new array.
I recently changed a For Each loop to a Parallel.ForEach loop. I'm concerned about an object being declared outside the loop but assigned while iterating in the loop. Here is the simplified code.
Dim results As ModelResults Dim noResultsModel As New List(Of ModelResults) Dim lock As New Object Parallel.ForEach(_modelEngines, Sub(model)
[Code]...
Is there a potential race condition with the results object? Would anything be different if I moved the declaration of results into the for loop?
I'm trying to access a USB Storage device, however the device although appearing in the commputer / Drives section, is not allocated a Drive letter, thus when I itterate through the attached drives link text it does not appear, I've taken the "Location" from a file on the drive (properties) and it comes up as COMPUTER/Q1/Datacasts but this doesn't work when I pass it to the FileInfo Object (network drive cannot be found) And I'm at a bit of a loss at which way to procced
I am attempting to add a document storage module to our AR software. I will be prompting the user to attach a doc/image to thier account. I will then put a copy of this file into our folder so that we can reference it without having to rely on them keeping the file in its original place. This system is not using a database but instead its using multiple flat files.
I am looking for guidance on how to handle these files once they have attached them to our system. How should I store these attached files? I was thinking I could copy the file over to a sub directory then renaming it to a auto-generated number so that we do not have duplicates. The bad thing about this, is the contents of the folder can get rather large.
I have an ASP.NET site in a web server and the images are stored in NAS (some kind of lacie external storage), I tried UNC and other things but no success.how can I access images from external storage in ASP.NET
Update: The images are reachable from the server but when I try to access in ASP.NET throws me error.
I have a listbox (ListBox5) and what i want to happen is when, and only when, a USB mass storage device is inserted a list of the files will appear on the listbox - and then when your press the button marked "Remove File" it will delete the selected file off the USB
I have an idea of making a chat program with someone over the internet. So my understanding of what i have to do is create a server that holds a text file that can be manipulated by both parties. Then create a program to read the file and change it. So my question is am i on the right path? Also, How do i acquire a server/online storage?
I'm a junior VB programmer and looking for some advice on this subject. I'm trying to create a chunk of code that will create dynamic storage for variables for use later by dynamic custom controls.
For example: An INI file might have an entry in it that looks something this: .... [var1] <-- this becomes the Storage name description=My Variable type=System.Int32 <-- this could be any valid VB type last_val=456 <-- Other code would save the last value ....
And I want to access the data using a standard "property set" like so after it's created: var1_reference.value = 55 I've tried using a generic class which works ok as long as I declare the variables at design time from within the design environment. But when I try to create them from the INI file it gets messy.
Here's the simple generic class i've constructed to test this: Public Class GenericVar(Of T) ' ' Generic Symbol Class for data storage ' Private VarName As String Private VarType As Type [Code] .....
Also, as each object is created (and they could be different types) I store a reference in an array to make it easier to keep track of, but I'm having a hard time getting access to the objects and their properties, and certainly cant seem to assign an event handler to it once its in an arraylist because the design time code doesn't know what "Type" it is in the arraylist of objects.
Is it possible in VB.NET to get the directory of a file copied/moved to a removable storage device?
For example, I have msword document on my desktop and move it to my storage device. A dialog box will appear or anything that will show the directory of the document.
The idea is whenever you move a file into the specific device, it will automatically processed. I will be using this to compress a file automatically when it is moved or copied to the storage device.
I would like to ask a question about sending a BMP logo to a printer for storage. As I used to send a txt file to the printer, I just read through the file and store the contents of the file in an string. After sending the string to the COM port connecting the printer with "ComPort.Write(msg)", the txt file can be successfully printed. When dealing with the printing image problem, I tried to read the image with a binary reader and store into a binary array. Then I write the binary array to the COM port connecting the printer, with "ComPort.Write(bitArray, 0, bitArray.Length)". I am still quite new for VB.
I am writing a program in vb.net that requires a user to log in before he can use the application. The main user is created when the program is installed, similar to how windows works when it is installed.
The main user can add additional users to the program. I already know that I should store the passwords encrypted. My question is, where should I store the usernames and passwords? The registry, Isolated storage or .config file. I don't want any user to be able to modify/delete that file as the other user would obviously not be able to log in. Also, this file should be accessible for any user that logs into the computer.The computer is not guaranteed to be connected to the internet, so it must be stored locally.
I have and application written that works great on XP. It is VB.Net 2008, using .net 3.5. I install and Access database to the program file directory. In Vista, I get an error that is permissions related as even admins don't have default write permissions to the Program Files directory and access creates a .ldb file when in use. To solve this, I have had the users give themselves permission to the folder.
Is that the best solution? If not, where should data be stored in Vista and in Windows 7? Also, I have an update feature of my software that will download updates to the program files folder. Is this out, too?
I have a button on form 1. When the button is clicked, form 2 pops up. Form 2 also has a button.
Code for form 1: Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim textfile As New FileStream("textfile1.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite) Dim txtfilewriter As New StreamWriter(textfile) [Code] .....
Now, as you see, on the form 1 load event, the streamwriter writes "Physics" to the text file. When the button on form 2 is clicked, the streamwriter writes "English" to the same file. As an end result, I expected BOTH "Physics" and "English" to be in the text file but the final result is only "English" in the text file. What do I have to do so that the textfile continuously stores these lines?
Whether using XML database for data storage is safe enough? because I wanted to branch using an XML database and then she sends the data to the center. and then the data is in process at the center and then incorporated into the database server
I am looking for some API or OCX or any other method to copy the existing file from Hard disk to the USB storage device.for that i would have to perform the following checks :
1> Check for the plugged in USB devices.
2> Find out for the available space(2GB) on each.
3> Prompting a message to user on which drive he would like to write that movie file.(As At a time i want to give only 1 disk write only.
4> after selecting the Drive, and pressing OK, i just want to copy the selected file from HDD to that Device.
Now For achieving this , i just need a reference of any Available API or OCX or any other method available in VB.net?
I am planning to write a recipe storage program for personal use. I know what I want to do, but I am not perfectly clear on the most efficient way to do it. I am using SQL server 2005 and I am comfortable writing stored procedures. This is one of my first vb.net projects and I am still getting comfortable with ADO.net.What I want to do is create a form that can handle an list of ingredients of an unknown number.
The form will also accept a cooking procedure of an unknown number of steps. Each step will be written by the user into Rich Text boxes (vb 6 term?)I am planning to use combo boxes to select ingredients from a list or add new ingredients as needed. I also want to eliminate duplicates in the ingredients table of the sql 2005 db. I am looking for the most efficient method to save all the parts of a recipe to the database. saving a recipe will require dozens of database hits and therefore be unacceptably slow.
