How To Enter Serial Number Into Registry
Feb 7, 2009
I am trying to release my program now and I have a quick (hopefully quick) question concerning serial numbers. I want to be able to store the trial serial number so if the user uninstalls and reinstalls they won't get another evaluation period free of charge. My concern is that some crafty person will simply move the database files in and out of those installs and keep going indefinately. Although I have some protections built into the database itself in case the program runs out, I just want one extra layer of protection. Is there a way to store the serial number in the registry when entered and check for that entry whenever the program is installed using Windows Installer 3.1?

I am supposed to create a program in my VB.net class to do the following:
1. Prompt the user to enter the beginning number and the ending number.
2. Find the sum of the even numbers between these two values, inclusive.
[Code]...
We are currently using for next statements in the class. I know how to prompt for and utilize the numbers that are input etc. My problem is the EVEN numbers part. I obviously have to determine if the number is even and then use a step value of 2 from there. But not sure how to determine if number is even or odd (guessing to use mod, but totally lost).

I am wounder if anyone might have a web site or no where I can find the information so I understand how to prompt the user to enter the beginning number and the ending number. And then to find the sum of the even number. Now does anyone know what a name convention is ? I have tried to look it up on the forums but cant find nothing on it.

In my setup and deployment project, I have made all the directories I needed. The problem I have is: With the registry keys, how do I enter the value field with a wildcard for the location to the new installation. People don't always use the default location, so I need my key to dynamically set the registry to the correct place. So what do I do? [ProgramLocation] or something?

I am making my first application which involves WMI.. Using the documentation provided by MSDN and the Forums I have managed to get data related to the Win32 Class (Computer Name, Physical Memory, IP Address, etc..) Now I would like to get the Serial number of the monitor. I believe I have to use the WmiMonitorID Class. However, I do not know the Syntax to access the property of the same. I had used the code below for the win32 class. How do I modify it for the WmiMonitorID Class?
Public Function OpSys() As String()
Dim Str(4) As String
' ManagementObjectSearcher retrieves a collection of WMI objects based on[code]........

How do I make it that the user must enter a number between 1 and 100? And If they dont they get an OK messagebox stating that they must do.I imagine it'll be something like this:
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
MessageBox.Show("You must enter a value between 1 and 100", "Name Entry Error", _
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation)
End If
But Im not sure whats suppose to go inbetween the speech marks.

OS: windows 7 64-bit /Programming Language: Visual Basic.net on Visual Studio 2010 express edition.I have dataset with 4 tables each one of them is a datasource to a datagridview I want to add a serial number column to the datagridview so I made this
DataGridView1.Columns.Add("serial", "SER.")
For x As Integer = 0 To (ds.Tables("workers").Rows.Count - 1)
DataGridView1("serial", x).Value = (x + 1)
Next
It was working fine untill I added a relationship to the dataset the relationships codes were
Dim relation_WC As New DataRelation("relation_WC", ds.Tables("workers").Columns("id"), ds.Tables("cources_jun").Columns("workerid"))
Dim relation_WV As New DataRelation("relation_WV", ds.Tables("workers").Columns("id"), ds.Tables("vacations_jun").Columns("workerid"))
[code]....
I breaked point the debuging and I found that the serial number column I added is fine and has it's values, but when I reach the line relations.add(the_relation) the serial number column loses it's values and turn into an empty column with no
numbers in it....why this is happening?
Note: I added another relations but the only relations that clear the serial number column are the relations that has a datatable that is a datasource to the datagridview that has the serial number column.
