Protecting File By Program?

Aug 11, 2010

Is it possible to limit access to a file based on the program accessing it?

I am trying to create a VB program that interacts with an XML file to store and retrieve user accounts and passwords. I would like for my program to be the only thing that can access the XML file, but still have the ability to edit it inside of the program.

VS 2008 Is CodeVeil The Best Tool Out There For Protecting A Program?

Aug 3, 2010

Is CodeVeil the best tool available right now for protecting a program? I'd like to be sure that when I release my program, it'll be either ridiculously hard (and not worth it) to crack (I.E, to make it free), or impossible to crack. I've been told the latter is impossible

I really just want it to be the absolute safest, and secure, without increasing the memory or CPU requirements of my program. I'm going to trial CodeVeil from Xheo... I'm wondering if anyone else has used any others, and what is the best? Pricing isn't a big deal for me.

Not All Controls In Collection Are Being Copied?

Dec 13, 2011

I'm a bit confused here. I'm copying all the controls from one form to a panel on the main form and for some reason only about half of them copy.

Private Sub switchComponent()
Dim selection As String = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text
Panel1.Controls.Clear()[code]....

When stepping through the code, serverDic(selection).Controls has 12 elements, but only 6 of them get copied. Next time this gets called, only 3 get copied. Does Panel1.Controls.clear() somehow kill the references?

EDIT: Just to show that there are infact 12 elements in the collection:

Why Is Access DB Not Getting Copied During Install

Nov 18, 2011

I'm trying to deploy my first program and I've run into the following trouble.The program uses an access database dbUserPractice.accdb. In debug mode, everything works fine.When I deploy, install and run the application, I get a System.TypeInitializationException (which I asked about in a separate thread). The inner exception is the following:

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException
Could not find file 'C:UsersPatrickAppDataLocalApps2.0DataW8EL4B31.5OL13DJ6BGK.5TNgmat..tion_97baec9c26ea8d1a_0000.000a_bf94ecc77eee8fa0DatadbUserPractice.accdb'.

If I manually paste dbUserPractice.accdb in the directory above, the application runs ok. Why isn't the installer putting the file where the application will need it? The file is part of the downloaded install package (it is in the 'Application Files' folder as 'dbUserPractice.accdb.deploy')

DropDownList With Items Copied From Database

Mar 8, 2010

I have an Web application that retrieves some db info and send it out to an html table. All created on the fly in vb code behind. For every post (row) in the db I also fill puts an instance of a Dropdownlist with items read from the db. That means that for every row I read from the database I read the same db info into the Dropdownlist (see the skeleton example below). A lot of overhead I think. It must be possible to create the Dropdownlist once before the loop and copy from that instance in the loop.

Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim cboCombo2 As DropDownList
Dim i As Integer

System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard.GetFileDropList(0) is fine if it's been copied from Explorer, but fails if it's a mail attachment.

How To Get A Program To Wait Until A File Is Copied

Nov 5, 2010

Code is below. I am designing this code to transfer a file at a specified time. Right now, I have it sending me an email when it succeeds for test purposes. It will be only when the file copy fails later.

Here's my question: how can I get the program to wait until the file copy is complete to report success or failure? Right now I'm using exists to see if it works, but some other method of checking the file will be built in later. Eventually, this will be deployed to various locations for a bit of automated backup.

File Copied With FileInfo Not Able To Be Read By Shelled Program?

Jul 3, 2011

2 - Saves the server XML file it into a folder separate from the root folder of the application.3 - Deletes the local XML file in the root folder of the application.4 - Copies the server XML file to the local folder of the application.5 - Opens the application.6 - Closes the updater.Now when the application opens, it reads this XML file in the local folder. When I run it stand alone, it works fine and can find this XML file. However, my problem is when the application is opened by the updater, it can't read the XML file in the local folder. I check for this file doing File.Exists(XMLfilename) and it returns false but like I said, if I close the application and reopen it it works fine.

I'm thinking that for some reason the updater is "locking" this file so my other process can't read it? I can't close the process before I open the original application so I'm not sure what's happening here. My Update Folder is the users ApplicationData folder and the root directory of the application is in the Program Files folder.

This is my code in the updater:
Dim ImageDir As DirectoryInfo
Dim fi As FileInfo

How To Attach Events Of Original Object To Deep Copied Clone

Oct 27, 2010

Following up on my question yesterday to deepcopy an object with events in C# and attach the events of the original object to the Cloned copy is pretty easy, you just set the Event declaration in the Copy = the value in the original. Deep Clone when events are attached. How do you do this in VB.Net? (Using .Net 2). Maybe there was something with reflection where you can examine what events are bound and somehow transfer those to the new object.

.net - WinForms - Prevent UserControl's Resources Being Copied Into The Form's Local Resource?

Dec 29, 2009

I have a simple windows Forms application where in I have a usercontrol called "MyControl" derived from PictureBox.

In this MyControl, I have the following code :

Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Me.BackgroundImage = My.Resources.MyImage 'This is a project resource image
End Sub

Now when I drag and drop this MyControl into a form, I get the image and also those stuff. But the problem is that the BackgroundImage is being copied into the Form's local .resx file.So when I look into the form.designer file, I find the following :

Me.MyControl1.BackgroundImage = CType(resources.GetObject("MyControl1.BackgroundImage"), System.Drawing.Image)

This is a problem and also when I try to change the image in the control, it does not get reflected in the form's control instance.
