I have to pass the name of the property to a function call. (Please don't ask why it should be done this way, its a third party framework). For example SomeFunc("MyItem") But what I would like to do is, change the string into a strongly typed parameter. Meaning, if the property name is renamed or changed, it should be reflected here too. So something of this type :

I'm converting a VB6 dll to VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I want to use the same .dll to integrate with Excel via Excel-DNA, but also to be available via COM (I need to be able to call it from VBScript and VBA).
If I leave the assembly unsigned, I have access to all of the ExcelDNA functionality but no COM access.
If I sign the assembly with a strong name, then when I try to build the .dll I get the following error:
Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'ExcelDna.Integration' does not have a strong name.What are my options?

View 1 RepliesOk, I've read every question on here about strong named assemblies and just want to clarify something. First though, from what I've read, GAC aside, strong named assemblies prevent a malicious 3rd party changing and impersonating your code. It'd be great to have some links to some real world examples of this kind of spoofing that happened pre strong named assemblies. If security or the GAC are not a concern, It seems that it's still advisable to strong name assemblies because:
(A) Clients who have strong named assemblies can only reference your assemblies if they are signed.
(B) Clients who do not have strong named assemblies can reference your assembly whether it's signed or not.
Is that a fair analysis?

Use command-line option '/keyfile' or appropriate project settings instead of System.Reflection.AssemblyKeyFileAttribute'.
I am trying to make a strong (or even medium-security) based authentication. How this would work is simply by storing a username/code on web (using dropbox perhaps) then using those codes to pass on to friends to use. This way if you remove that code online,that person will no longer be able to access that program. As far as I know, it is quite simple to save the number of uses, or username and pass on a text file to save on their file or registry things can be done but that is only 1 computer based. That is a very easily crackable security and is not worth it.As far as I have know you need to create a new main form where the code/ id/ username/password/onetimelogin will be asked. If it is correct, form2.show if not then "exit". The codes are stores on a text file on dropbox.com like websites, then the link to the textfile is obtained.
View 3 RepliesI fully realize that what I am proposing does not follow the .NET guidelines, and, therefore, is probably a poor idea for this reason alone. However, I would like to consider this from two possible perspectives:
(1) Should I consider using this for my own development work, which is 100% for internal purposes.
(2) Is this a concept that the framework designers could consider changing or updating?
I am thinking about using an event signature that utilizes a strong typed 'sender', instead of typing it as 'object', which is the current .NET design pattern. That is, instead of using a standard event signature that looks like this:

View 9 RepliesI wanted to ask this question here rather then at the asp.net site (it takes too long to get an answer) because I think I have found a problem with how MVC 1.0 handles custom classes that implement IDataErrorInfo when using view binding. Not sure if this is a problem in v2.0 but I have never heard it mentioned.
Here's a little background, in MVC if I want to have strongly typed view, I create a class that basically holds the post information for me. MVC binds the form fields in the POST to the class properties of the same name for me automatically when I do this rather then implementing the ViewData dictionary.

I am trying to use NAnt in order to compile and sign an assembly using the vbc compiler. I have a project set up and am able to successfully sign the assembly compiling with VS2010. When I try to sign it using the command line I get this error:
vbc : error BC30140: Error creating assembly manifest: Error signing assembly -- The parameter is incorrect.
I even created a trivially simple app (just an assemblyinfo.vb file) that will not compile and sign using vbc.exe What am I doing wrong?
here is my assemblyinfo.vb:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
[Code]....
I have found that MSBuild also does not like having the AssemblyKeyFile attribute as I have defined it in the AssemblyInfo.vb, it gives the same failure message. So the only way I can currently get this to build correctly is to set properties on the project to tell it which key file to use and to sign the assembly.
The reason this appears to work building the project from within VS2010 is that msbuild is passing /keycontainer to vbc.exe on the command line instead of using /keyfile. Still don't know how to use the /keyfile command line parameter.

View 1 RepliesI have code like this which loads a control from an .ascx file, calls some methods of the control, then renders it:

This code only works because Explicit is off. I would like to use CType to convert the control to its "strong type" (and get rid of Option Explicit Off) but I don't know how to add a reference to the type. How can I do this?

Dim IncomingCommand As String = e.CommandLine.Item(0).ToString
If IncomingCommand.Substring(0, 2) = "-1" Then

I am trying to make the program close if the -1 string is sent with the program. See my installer allows for me to run certain programs before it actually installs, but it doesn't shut down copies of the program itself. So I have a next startup instance set to shut the program down if the -1 is received. But if the program is not running it starts up instead. This is not desired. form1.close doesn't work. e.cancel = true doesn't work, etc etc. What can I do to make the program not start during this instance.

The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.
