how to determine this? I know how to get the "processor ID" etc. but this is apparently not a unique identifier.This is for an intel i7 975. My boss has asked us to make sure that no-one tampers with several parts of a process control computer.

Question: When you have a .NET GUID for inserting in a database, it's structure is like this:
60 bits of timestamp,
48 bits of computer identifier,
14 bits of uniquifier, and
6 bits are fixed,
128 bits total Now I have problem with a GUID, because it's a 128 bit number, and some of the DBs I'm using only support 64 bit numbers. Now I don't want to solve the dilemma by using an autoincrement bigint value, since I want to be able to do offline replication.

Anyone know of a unique identifier I can grab from a Windows PC?I am working on licensing of my app and I want to assign the user a license key and have the key and some unique piece of data from the PC hit a database server of mine and then check credentials before the program runs.I thought about using host name but that can be cloned. I also thought of MAC address but if a computer has a wired and wireless NIC then there are multiple MAC addresses.
View 2 RepliesI have a table in an SQL database bound to a datagridview and am having an issue with understanding what happens when I add a new data row.
My datatable is built in code with the first column created using this sql command...
vb
cmdString = String.Format("CREATE TABLE {0} ({1} INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, ", tableName, columnNames(0))
after that there a a number of other columns added to the command to build the table. After the table is created, I fill the datatable and bind the datagridview using this code....
vb
Dim cmdString As String = String.Format("SELECT * FROM {0}", DB_DATALOG_TABLE_NAME)
DataLogAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmdString, dBConnection)
DataLogTable = New DataTable
[Code].....
This is where my understanding is falling. Because I have created the datatable's first column with the NOT NULL key word, an exception throws when I try to update the data adapter because the first column of the data row is empty By creating the table with the first column the IDENTITY key word, doesn't that imply that the database will generate the value for that column? If so, when I add a new datarow, how does the identity column get filled?
I am looking to return a machine specific unique identifier from an EXE. I've tried MAC, hard drive serial and CPU ID, but all contain alpha characters. This makes returning them as an integer difficult - integer seems to be the only type you can return from an EXE.

I have a read-only mssql-view, and I want to map it to nhibernate (using hbm.xml files). The view is a select that joins two tables. For give an abstract-insight, the select is something like this:
SELECT A.Id As A_ID, B.Id As B_ID,
A.AttributeA, B.AttributeB,
FROM A INNER JOIN B ON
A.Id = B.RootID
It's a one-to-many relationship between A and B (B entries are dependant/leafs of A entries).
I'm using nhibernate's hbm.xml files, and I can't make it to work. I'd gladly appreciate if someone can enlight me of the kind of XML that I have to use, I guess that as my view has no ID, I have to create a composite-nhibernate id (wich will be the ids os A and B together) but I couldn't make it to work. Also the view is READ ONLY so I think that should make the solution easier.

In my [2005] application, I use the MacAddr / CpuId / DiskId of the computer to validate my licence using the WMI calls. The problem is we just can't thrust this feature because on a good percentage of the computers this feature is not installed properly or completely disabled.The users are not experienced, they are located in a remote location and I just don't feel like debugging their Windows installation every time they want to try my application.Is there a working alternative that I can use that will always return me a unique identifier for every computer which will always be available on 2000 / XP / Vista systems?

I am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)

Im creating an application to create rich text documents. As a part of of I have to add a text input field that can produce MS Word like features so that I can do word processing on the writing text.
At the moment VS studio provides, only Rich Text Box . But it doesnt provide that kind of features of the word processor.
Is it possible to add a word processor control to the Form if possible how can I do it? (I need to do this using the features of VS 2008 TS)

View 4 RepliesFor setting my processor affinity mask and I need my process handle for this. How do I get it?
View 3 RepliesI have a multi-processing application that kicks off up to 4 threads at a time to process data into a SQL-Server database. It seems to work okay, except at times the processors are pegged at 100% and all threads slow down a bit.
So, what I want to do is conditionally fire a thread based upon the processor load... if they're already running at 100%, it makes no sense to kick off another thread.
Is there a way to determine what the processor load is? Task manager shows processor load, so there probably is... but how do I do it?
