Unless the person actually gets into the source code they can't get the password am I right? Is it actually possible for them to get into the source code.
Basically what I'm asking is, is this safe and if not why not and how can it be made secure?

How can I protect it, so, once installed, the users can use them on the installed pc, but not others. before, what I did is: create a web service, when the user use it, they need verify the account by the web service. however, it needs the user always be online, which is not applicable to this case.
View 1 RepliesI've created a small application that basically reads and writes to a single Excel.exe process. It's basically a timer that records the time I use on projects and then store it in an Excel sheet. This works great, however, I've noticed that if I open Excel manually, work on some sheets and whatnot, save and exit etcetc, the process my software use gets broken or something. The same thing that happens if I manually close the excel.exe process and my software doesn't "know".

I am working on an application using VB6.0, in which mails are to be automatically sent through an SMTP server.The mails which are sent through the server are going into the recipient's JUNK-FOLDER.One way could be adding the sender's domain/ID to Client's Outlook Safe Senders List manually.But instead of setting it manually, I want to add a domain/ID to the Safe Sender's List through my application itself.
View 1 RepliesTrying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?

How can I make changes to the project, that I have copied to my drive. I need to disconnect it from VSS.

I'm calling a c++ dll I made myself - and it appears to be very VERY not thread safe!

I'm dropping into this function - from several threads - to add an OBJECT to a dictionary collection
Private Delegate Function ReaderRegisterDelegate(ByRef rrFSOb As FSObject) As FSObject
Private Function ReaderRegister(ByRef rrFSOb As FSObject) As FSObject
Try[code].....
It's getting Object reference not set to an instance of an object.The FILEID key being added is F1. F2, F3 and F4 are in the dictionary. Seems like F1 arrived and the object wasn't properly setup. Or thread-slice caused me to see a partially messed with dictionary list?How can I make that a thread safe operation? I thought dropping out to the UI thread was a safe place to mess with code like this? Oddly enough I can go to the immediate window and do this
m_FSObCollection.Add("F" + rrFSOb.FileId.ToString, rrFSOb)
?m_FSObCollection.Count 4
ex.data is a dictionary list that looks like this
directcast(ex.Data , System.Collections.IDictionary).Count 0
After generating a file, I don't want to allow anyone to open it. How do I protect it, by using a password? Is there any better way? How do I do it programmatically?
View 3 RepliesI'm going to build a large project and want to create several libraries (DLL) for it. I don't want to merge them all in one EXE, but want to use seperate DLL files.I don't want those DLL's to be used by others, so these DLL's should be protected so that they can only be used in my own project.I was thinking of using some sort of password in the New() proc, but that doesn't work for shared classes.
Other solution I was thinking of: is it possible to check if the calling assembly has the same strong name as the DLL?These solutions are just one of my ideas. I don't know if those will work and am not saying that one of them is the way to go.What is the best approach to accomplish this?
BTW: I also use a obfuscator to protect my code.

If I have multiple threads running and they want to call InsertIntoQueue(), is this considered thread safe? I am under the impression that there is only one copy of the instructions in memory necessary to perform the InsertIntoQueue() function... which would lead me to think that this is thread safe. However, I wonder what happens when two threads attempt to run the function at the same time? Is this thread safe, and if not, how can I make it thread safe? (and What would be the performance implications regarding speed and memory usage)

View 1 RepliesThe problem is as follows: If Windows starts up in Safe Mode, no applications I make with VS 2010 will run. Even if I try to launch them, doubleclicking, running, almost everything I tried, the problem is that the application just doesn't show up. There is no window there, and I don't know (haven't checked) if a process related to the application is running.

I have apps with multiple threads. I never have two threads that write to the same variable, but I do have situations where one thread writes to a variable and another reads from it.Is this safe, thread wise? (talking from an execution standpoint) The practice, seems to work fine, but I don't know what would happen if in the split second if one core was reading the variable, and the other was trying to write to it. Do I need to set up some form of lock out here?
View 4 RepliesIs it safe to assume an int will always be 32 bits in C#? The linked question asks whether it is "safe to assume that an int will always be 32 bits in C#". The accepted answer states that "the C# specification rigidly defines that int is an alias for System.Int32 with exactly 32 bits".
My question is this: does this hold true for VB.Net's Integer? Is it safe to assume that Integer will always be an alias for int32?
In my form I have a variable that is of the type Windows.Forms.Form. When my program is enabled/disabled I create a new form instance in there and close it (respectively). Since I don't want the form sitting in memory the whole time my program is open the references to properties of the form are invalid (because the initial declaration is not the form but the type). How can I either negate this or ignore this error?
