I'm looking for a way to save text directly to an encrypted file, without saving it to a plain text file and encrypt this text file afterwards.
I don't care about the encryption type used as long as it is easy to implement and secure enough..
I'm looking to be able to save and load the content from multiple structured arrays and variables into/from an encrypted file, is there any reliable source of information or tutorial that I'd be able to use for this? I've never written a program in visual basic that writes to/reads from a file.
I'm using microsoft visual studio 2008.
Currently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
[Code]...
When a user clicks on the button called "save" on a webpage opened in webbrowser1, it downloads a text document to the hard drive and explorer asks user is asked where it should be saved. How can I intercept this and directly download the textfile into a richtextbox without triggering the "save file to disk" alert ?Maybe an IDownloadManager implementation?
View 1 RepliesBasically I have a DataGrid on a form that is used to monitor attendance. I do this by making the data types for the relevant fields boolean so that at runtime, they appear as check boxes that the user can tick. If the user ticks this then the table in MySQL saves this as a 1, or if it is left unticked the table saves it as a 0. I then use those values in a mathematical equation to calculate weekly attendance.
My problem, however, is with saving changes to the table itself. Initially I set a primary key which was fine and allowed me to save. However I needed to turn that primary key to a foreign key and when I do that, I am told that I need a primary key. Now I got round that before when I was entering data into a text box and in my SQL query I'd simply put as my value being " & (name of textbox).Text & " but when I am entering data straight onto the datagrid, I am unsure of what to put in my SQL statement.
StudentID (Was primary key but turned it into foreign key)
Name
Surname
Monday
[cod]....
My friend from college told me it's probably because there are multiple records in the database and can't distinguish between the two (as perhaps there's no WHERE clause in that UpdateCommand) but I doubt it as it was working perfectly well with multiple records when StudentID was a primary key.
I am attempting to find some code to use in VB.NET to decrypt a string that has been encrypted using the Java crypto libary.All of the code I have found so far uses an Initialisation Vector and Key to decrypt but the string has been encrypted using the Key only. (Using an Initialisation Vector is apperently an optional step in Java).Does anyone know of code that I can use (preferably in VB.NET but i could convert C#) to decrypt AES 128 Bit encoded string without an Initialisation Vector?

I have an asp page with vb.net code that will query a database and present the user with the number of records that exist that need to be exported along with a button to export them. After you push the export button, it will prompt for a location and filename. But after that, it will not refresh the page with the new counts that now exist. Or in this case update the count to zero for the button they clicked.
[Code]
So how can I tell the page to refresh with the new counts. It almost seems like I need to tell the process to wait until after the user has finished finding the location and saving the file but I don't want to add a generic threading.thread.sleep in, I want it to only wait until they are done and then refresh the page.
I'm creating a program in VB.net that does the following:At a high level I receive a file in email, put the attachment in a monitored folder, import the text file to excel, format the excel, and then email the excel file to a list of recipients.
Here is my plan:
Completed: Outlook VBA to monitor all incoming email for specific message. Once message is received drop attached .txt file in a specific network folder.
Completed: (VB.net) Monitor folder, when text file is added begin processing
Not Complete: (VB.net) Import text file to Excel
Not Complete: (VB.net) Format Excel Text file.(add in a row of data,format column headers with color/size, add some blank columns, add data validation to some of the blank columns that allow drop down selections)
Completed: (VB.net) Save file.
Completed: (VB.net) Send file to list of recipients.
Obviously the items above that are not complete are the bulk of the work, but I wanted to get some advice on what some of you think would be the best way to approach something like this. The import and formatting of the file are causing me some problems because I just can't decide what would be the most efficient way to do this.
The way stated above. Import to excel -> format Having a template excel that contains all of the formatting already done for me and attempting to transition the data to this document (no clue if/how I can do this). Is it even feasible? Have the template already created and then import the text file to a new excel file, then transition that data to the excel template?
Something I thought about, in terms of formatting the document, was to record a macro of me doing all of the formatting that I'm going to need and then attempt to convert that macro into my vb.net code, but I'm not sure if that will work. I will need to verify that the text file comes in the EXACT format every time correct?

I'm working on a way to authenticate users in my app, and what I've come up with is the following method.To write to a database, the user must have an account in SQL server 2008. However, I still want people to be able to view the application if they don't have access, but only read, they can't sync any changes. This is working well, as I have a string array hard coded containing approved users:
Dim Users() As String = {"BWANG", "EDASALLA", "ERICHARDSON", "HALONZO", "JCHAPMAN", "SKIM", "PMACK"}
The one problem with hardcoding is that if I need to ever add a user later on, I'd have to release an update to the program. (which isn't hard as I already have updating built into the app, and users can still download updates even if they can't sync.)
What I'd like to do, is use an encrypted .dat file that contains the user names, and store that with the application, so that i could always be added to, and only one file would need to be downloaded.
I have code in place to encrpt and decrypt the .dat file (called users.dat) and this code works for single text entries in the file. I need to figure out how to load a list however into the array in place.
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Dim userfile as String = "C:users.dat"
Dim Users() As String = Data.Decrypt(File.ReadAllLines(path))
Basically each line in the file will have an encrypted user name, and i want it to decrypt each line and store it back into that authorized user list.
arrays saving to file that if new user account is added name and email address is saved. if in the future multiple users login in whe name and email address will match correct users.
here is what i got so far....

View 1 Repliesi am trying to decrypt a file that was encrypted with Des. However not all of the file is encrypted just a few lines are. Here is an example of the file im trying to decrypt:
Random text
Encrypted Text
MD5 Hash
Encryption Key(Only there for tests)
Number of encrypted lines
The idea is to read the last three lines into variables and use them to decrypt the text. At the moment i use the number of lines - (the number of encrypted lines + 3) to find where the encrypted text starts. Then i was trying to copy the encrypted text to a temp file so i could run the code bellow on it, however i am getting an encoding error apparently i need to be using base64 or something. So my question is can anybody explain to me or show me how i can pull the encrypted text out of the file so that i can use the code bellow on it.
Dim DES As New DESCryptoServiceProvider()
'A 64-bit key and an IV are required for this provider.
'Set the secret key for the DES algorithm.

Here's a screen shot of the before and after the program [URL]
And here is code behind the Save button [URL]
I want to save a string of text to a file every 1.4 seconds or so, and each day at midnight I want to create a new file for the days log data so I keep the file size down. The file stays open the whole time so that it is ready to accept data from several different forms which call a function (SaveToVoltsLogFile(str)), so I open it at module level like this:
Dim fsVlogStream As New FileStream(EVENT_LOG_PATH & VOLTS_LOG_FILENAME & DateString & ".ip", FileMode.Append, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Read)
Dim swVlogWriter As New StreamWriter(fsVlogStream)
Now each time I call a function SaveToVoltsLogFile(str), the str data gets saved to the file:
Friend Sub SaveToVoltsLogFile(ByVal str As String)
swVlogWriter.WriteLine(str)
swVlogWriter.Flush()
End Sub
But by opening it this way, I cannot call a sub to close it and open a new file for the next day because putting the Dims into a sub means that the file is out of scope to other subs/functions, so my Save... sub won't work! So, what I think I need is a separate sub to open the file, another sub to close it, and another to write the str data. But how do I do this and keep the file in scope to all subs?
I have a form that contains a RichTextBox control that I have set to multiline. I also have a menu item that allows the user to save the contents of the RichTextBox as either a .rtf document or a .txt document. Here's the code I'm using so far:

m_strDocFileLocation = sfdSaveTextFile.FileName
m_strDocFileExtension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(m_strDocFileLocation)
[Code]....
into the RichTextBox control (rtb) then saves as a text file this would save the text file like: "TempTemp"
Is there any way to write to the text file with line feeds included?
I think I'm over thinking this, but I'm not sure where to start.
