View 2 RepliesI am looking for information on the best practices or project layout for software that uses SQL embedded inside VB.NET or C#. The software will connect to a full SQL DB. The software was written in VB6 and ported to VB.NET, we want to update it to use .NET functionality but I am not sure where to start with my research. We are using Visual Studio 2005. All database manipulations are done from VB.
Update: To clarify. We are currently using SqlConnection, SqlDataAdapter, SqlDataReader to connect to the database. What I mean by embed is that the SQL stored procedures are scripted inside our VB code and then run on the db. All of our tables, stored procs, views, etc are all manipulated in the VB code. The layout of our code is quite messy. I am looking for a better architecture or pattern that we can use to organize our code.
I have a program that calls an executable, lzma.exe, to compress a file. lzma.exe also requires about 5 dll's. Is there any way I can embed lzma.exe and the 5 dll's into my program, so that they are not retrievable by someone?The reason is, if someone finds the lzma.exe, they could easily reverse-engineer my program and offer it free, putting me out of business.

View 2 RepliesI have a standard "class library" project with a set of classes that I use to import in almost all my new projects.
The way I work is creating a new Solution with an empty project, which is my main project, and then I add to the solution the mentioned class library project, this way I can see both projects in the Soluction Explorer and even see the library code or update it if needed. Then I write the code in my main project and I compile.
This lead me to have 2 files when I compile: file *.exe and stdlib.dll
Some cases I use the lib for very small tools that I want to redistribute in a easy and clean why, so I would like to embed the stdlib.dll generated from my class library project into my *.exe file.

I am writing a program that the users can put their signatures on it and I am thinking that maybe I could use MSPaint then save it as an image file and save it on my database. The device I'm going to use is a touchpad. I don't know how to explain this clearly but the idea is simple.User Log IN > Verify User Account > Put their Signature on a picture box. By the way I am using Visual Basic .NET 2005.

View 2 RepliesI know that is strange situation, but I need to embed an EXE file (or the assembly code) into my project, so it can be started only by the application (it can't create the EXE in the filesystem and start it)...
Is it possible? Edit:It's not a .NET EXE. Anyway I added the Test.exe file as a resource to my project and I did this
Dim exestr As Stream = Nothing
Dim a As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly
exestr = a.GetManifestResourceStream("Test.exe")
I am developing a Windows Forms application in VB2008 Express that I want to run directly of the Internet and optionally off-line on another computer (e.g. using a USB stick), without any installation/setup. However I need to pass 2 parameters to it: the language as selected on the website (i.e. not the current culture) and one of the predefined partner names. I can do that for a ClickOnce application but this only works in IE and not off-line. As I cannot use a separate config file, cookie or shortcut, I am thinking of �embedding� the parameters in the exe. Given the large number of combinations (#languages * #partners), I want to create and upload these files automatically using a batch file. I am also thinking of digitally signing the application in the near future.
I can think of 3 ways of storing the parameters (e.g. language "EN" and partner "Abc"): 1.In the filename (e.g. Abc_EN.exe): but this is rather cryptic for end-user and he/she could decide to store it under another name, so not a great option; 2.In one of the file properties (e.g. as "-language EN -partner Abc" in the "Description" property of the "Assembly Information"): this works, but how can I automate the creation of the various exe files? 3.Somewhere with the digital signature???: but where and how and can I access this information from within the application?
I have looked at the Assembly Linker (AL.exe) to build the exe outside of the VS2008E IDE, as it allows me to specify the description property in the command line, but I cannot seem to find the proper syntax to build the entire project (including the form.resx and various icons) and it may be time consuming to do this for each exe file.
I have also looked at stand-alone utilities that can change the file properties (so I only have to build the exe once in the IDE), but have not found one that can do that through the command line. I could off course write my own utility, but I don't know if it affects the digital signature.
I am actually looking for "the proper way to do this" (if it exists). how to get the third option to work (possibly with �delay signing� and the Strong Name tool)?
