IDE :: Where Is The Dotfuscator In VB 2010
May 16, 2011
I have been using Dotfuscator for years with VB 2005 without a problem. I remember, vaguely, that it first came with a very simply one that we can upgrade to Community Edition without any cost (which I did). And once it is updated, it is pretty simple to do in my VB 2005. First I build the project as usual, then I make a new Dotfuscated Project from New Project Menu (which the Community Edition automatically add itself to, in VB 2005). I can't find the Dotfuscator at all. While, in the Pre-Emptive website, it is said that it is included free in Visual Studio 2010. How can I dotfuscate my project in VB 2010?

I have developed an app and an installer for it and everything works fine. I now feel I should add a bit of obfuscation to the code before it gets released into the wild. VS2010 comes with the CE edition of dotfuscator so I've run it and it produced an .exe in a 'Dotfuscated' folder. Do I just replace all four 'Primary output from. custom actions with the assembly from the Dotfuscator folder or am I missing something?

I'm trying to obfuscate some VB.NET 2003 app.The resulting assemblyes are obfuscated and "run" with some errors.I cleaned all potential reflection problems, but I'm not being able to read the selected value of a combobox.
I load the Combobox using their Datasource properties, using a collection of "VTPair" (a class created by me with 2 properties: one of string type and other of object type to store the value)
This combobox handle pairs like "Male | M" or "Female | F".When trying to see what is selected, I use if mycombo1.SelectedValue = "M" then.This code, after obfuscation, throws me an exception that cannot cast type "XX" to string "M".
So, I changed the code to something more correct, explicitly casting the selected value to String:
if ctype(mycombo1.SelectedValue,string) = "M" then But the error is the same.Debugin my original code, the SelectedValue property is of type "Object" but it is a string.I tried using the ComboBox.SelectedItem property that is also an object but this time what is inside is of type "VTPair" (my own class) and then trying to access its "Value" property (which is of type Object) and trying to cast to string fails again.
Does anyone have an idea to "translate" this piece of code to work OK after Dotfucate it?

I have forgotten the right procedure to encrypt the VB2008 code with dotfuscator community edition, may you explain the way to use it (the dotfuscator) step by step?

how useful is dotfuscator free community edition? I applied it on my application and then checked the assembly using the Red Gate's .net reflector. It seems dotfuscator just changed the names of modules,classes and functions. once you know where to look( module or the class) , code was pretty much visible.Basically I want to secure my .net applications and to prevent them from being disassembled in to meaning-full code.

When I use Dotfuscator Enhanced Community Edition to dotfuscate one of my programs, it breaks the part of my program that takes an ebmbedded GZIP file and decompresses it to a normal stream which is then written to a file. Here is the code that dies:
VB
Dim Stream As New GZipStream(Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(MyNameSpace & "." & EmbeddedResource), CompressionMode.Decompress)
I did some investigating by putting in messagebox outputs of the variables and it seems the reason it dies is because MyNameSpace is a blank string. This global variable is defined early on in the program as such:
VB
Public MyNameSpace As String = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().EntryPoint.DeclaringType.Namespace()
So what I need is either another way of accessing the root namespace, another way of getting to an ebmbedded resource or a way to make Dotfuscator not destroy that namespace. I did think about using My.Resources.... but the problem with that is that I can't pass the string "EmbeddedResource" to the subroutine - I'd have to do the files all in individual lines I think.Also, a side question: The only enhancement I can ever find with the Enhanced edition of Dotfuscator is "Deep Visual Studio Integration" but I cannot see any evidence of this. I mean there's a button in the Tools menu to start Dotfuscator but that's not what I'd call "deep integration". I assumed it meant you could tell it to automatically dotfuscate when compiling but I can't find any documentation on how to do this.

VB.Net 2010 program .exe on PC with Excel 2007 gives error when cannot find Excel version 14, which is Excel 2010 I have developed a program in VB.Net 2010 which reads from an Excel spreadsheet. It works fine in the IDE on my computer. I built an .msi and executed it on my computer. I get "Error: 53 - Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
The only version of Excel on my computer is 2007, which is version 12.0.6557.5000. The version the error says it needs, version 14, is actually the version of Excel 2010.I have put in MsgBox statements to find where the error occurs.

At present I have wrote an application (in-house CRM, vb .net 2010) which allows me to send emails under the selected customer & I categorised these emails.As these are categorised I can return data to display email history in my program by using search criteria:
Dim oMail As Outlook.MAPIFolder = oNS.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderSentMail)
Dim sSearch As String
sSearch = "[Categories] = '" + "[" + tAccount.Text.Trim + "]" + "(" + tShipTo.Text.Trim + ")'"
Dim oItems As Outlook.Items = oMail.Items.Restrict(sSearch)
However the limitation to the above is it only looks at sent items & no other folder.My ideal solution would be to display all email correspondence for a certain contact.

Problem:I am not getting the cursor (4 arrowheads) for moving the form.I am using the Panel1_MouseHover to display the cursor. Right now if I choose any other cursor then it is working but the same cursor also displays when I hover the mouse over any other control. I want the cursor to show only in the areas of the Panel where there are no controls.How do I show Tooltips for the images? The play,stop,next, previous,playlist,Hideme(with the smiley),volume are all images and not buttons?

If I create a DLL using VB 2010 express can it be used by previous versions of of .Net (3.5, 2.0)? Will the DLL use .Net 4.0 components, which is what I want. I don't see a way to force that to be the case.

this is my very first posting and I must say I am desperate. I have a VB assignment due in 2 days and I am so lost. I have written a code to draw some graphic, just a basic house, tree, sun etc. I have also written a code to magnify said graphics which were all the specifications of my Assignment 1 part A. Now for Part B I am being asked to extend my program so that: A - My graphic can be drawn using different colour schemes designed by me but chosen by the user B - My graphic or an appropriate part of it can be animated around the picture box if the user chooses to do so. C - Error checking is included.

it's just for a program registration. i would store all of the registration codes in the access database, then export it to XML, then upload it to my web host. I would then somehow connect it to my Visual Basics login form (Which I have already made). If this can't be done, having them register through the form and having all the allowed codes on the internet (So i can easily edit them)!

well until a few day ago. I don't know what I have introduced to cause the problem but now, whenever I load the project, VS 2010 (SP1) crahes. If I delete the project's suo file, the project loads (really quickly) and all is well until I exitVS 2010. When I re-run it and try to load the project, it crashes again unless I delete the suo file.The program can be built for x64 and x86. Now, when I reload the project (after deleting the suo file), it comes up in Debug - Any CPU mode. I can change from Debug to Release and from Any CPU to x86 but if I try and change from x86 to x64, VS 2010 crashes.This is not always the case though. If I build the x86 version and then switch to x64, all is well and I can build the x64 version. Obviously, there's something wonky going on.

Here are my questions concerning VB 2010 Express:
1. I've registered my VB 2010 Express, will it still expire?
2. Will the applications I made using VB 2010 Express expire after some time?
3. Is it OK to write my code in the designer.vb file? I don't know why, but when I started writing my application it took me to the designer.vb instead of form1.vb code.
4. I've been working on an application for a week now, but suddenly I can no longer access my Design View(Shift-F7). All my codes are written on the [form name].Designer.vb. I can still view my codes but I cant access my form layout. On the solution explorer, my forms no longer have the 'form icon'. When i press Shift-F7 nothing happens. Right-clicking the form on the solution explorer doesn't show 'View Designer' option. How can I fix this?
