I'm working on a personal project. It's an electronic test and quiz generator/player. I need a way to store sensitive information, like passwords, usernames, etc. in a way that it can't be easily accessed. I can do all the encryption, but I need a safe place to store it where it won't be deleted, on purpose or by accident. Does anyone know of such a place on Windows
View 2 RepliesI am working on vb.net 2.0 application which checks users credential against AD by sending LDAP configuration, user name, and password to DirectoryEntry method. LDAP is configured in web.config file. An AppScan result is showing that login request was not sent over SSL and recommends always using SSL and POST (body) parameters when sending sensitive information: DirectoryEntry("LDAPPath"), txtUserName, txtPassword)
How can I send this request against AD in a secure way?
I'm chasing code that is going to allow me to have multiple text boxes on my form, but when the form is first opened, it will only display one textbox. Once data is entered into said text box, i want it to display the next textbox, and so on. Is there a way to have these hidden?
View 4 RepliesI'm curious if it is possible to hide a group of text boxes from view in a form until a particular condition is met, and to have a custom set of text boxes for that condition. To give an example; I want radio buttons offering choices for a manner of searching records, the user selects one and then a specific set of text boxes are displayed for the user to utilize, if a different option is chosen a different set of text boxes will be shown. Is this something that can be done?

in vb.net how can i do this ( without using Lcase and Ucase)
visual basic.net is case insensitive so it allows the coder to write without caring or remembering the casing of variables. it also relieves from the 'undeclared variable' errors if you use the variable in another case than the one used in declaration. The fact that its line termination is a line feed makes it even more readable unlike C# or c++ that need good care in the casing and contineous war with following up with the {}, matching them and figuring out which is for which.
my question is what are the advantages of c# over vb knowing that both get compiled to MSIL so there is almost no performance difference between the two languages?
I was wondering if there was a way to create a parameter for a method in VB.NET 2005, to select which case(upper, lower) to test for.For Example

End Function
Where case is the paramter for the user to set as upper or lower.

Variable names in VB.NET are typically case insensitive. The GetProperty method on Type seems to be case sensitive when it comes to the property name. Is there a way to call this method "VB.NET style" and ignore case? Or am I SOL here and need to apply a C# mentality and worry about casing?

I have a question for the well versed among you. I have done some research, but didn't seem to find the exact answer I was looking for. So without further adieu.Given an event which needs to occur at a very specific time, whats the best and most predictable way or making that happen.
A: Use a worker thread, and threading.thread.sleep(TIME).
or B: Use System.Timers.Timer or System.Threading.Timer to execute in (TIME).
NOTE- I am fully aware that any of these will work. My question is in regards to priority of execution. How will a timer, which I can't figure out how to set a priority on, compare to a thread with a priority of Highest or even Real Time. Microseconds DO count in this instance.

i have to find a string in an array. i am using array.indexof method to get the index of matched item. now problem is that indexof method comparison is case sensitive and i cannot restrict user to provide case sensitive string.[code]
View 3 RepliesI've been using text.indexof() to see if a string is located inside another string, however is it it possible to do a case sensitive/insensitive search option? I've been looking around Google and not having much luck with it.
A huge bonus would be if it could count the number of occurrences inside the string!
I am working on a VB.Net application that needs to access a web service that I am nearly certain has a C# backend. At bare minimum, the backend is providing classes to me that are differentiated only by case, and within a number of those classes, there are properties and methods that are only differentiated by case.
VB.Net is case insensitive, and it sees a number of these items as being ambiguous.I've thought of a few ways of dealing with this, but I would like suggestions before I go down a road that is likely difficult.
Here are some ways I have considered going about it.Modifying the generated code for the wsdl. This has presented problems in responding as the xml output would no longer conform to the webservice requirements.I think there might be some attributes I could use to override this, but I'm not sure what they are yet. Even so, this web service gets frequent updates and I would hate to have to keep refixing the service every time I refreshed it.Creating a csharp wrapper project where I expose the underlying classes with different names. Primarily through inheritance. Although the big problem here has been the issue with properties and methods that are only differentiated by case as well.
I'm sure at some point I could get one or the other of these solutions working, but if anyone has any better suggestions that I'm not thinking of,
I've hit a small issue on a project of mine. I have a comboboxcolumn on a datagridview and the items list has the items ("enabled" "disabled") as the values (stored at design time). When my sql table gets the value "Enabled" or "ENABLED" stored somehow as it's value then I throw a dataerror.
I am trying to avoid this dataerror, I was told to modify the value during the cellformatting event however with my experience the dataerror fires before the formatting. What is the workaround to this behavior? As a textboxcell type the error is not present, it's all because of the case sensitivity of the "items" list on my comboboxcell
Is there anyway to use LIKE operator in VB.NET as case sensitive or insensitive during runtime? For example use a flag to do case sensitive or insensitive comparisons.Obviously this can be done by simple converting them into lower case and forcing application to Option Compare Binary but maybe there is a better way to do this?
