I am wondering if anyone here knows of a method to protect a dll from unregistered usage. I have a few useful dlls that I am thinking about putting online for sale but I want to protect them so that they can not be used by a developer without paying the proper fees.

View 12 RepliesI've a requirement to have PreCompiled webpages and Non-PreCompiled webpages under same application. For example below is my structure:
/Bin
/Test1 (PreCompiled)
/Test2 (NonPreCompiled)
/Test3 (PreCompiled)
I would like these to have their separate "Bin" folders too if possible at all (I tried using "Probing" but I guess that's not allowed for web apps and defaults to "Bin" folder). If not that then definitely some ability for these to work together under one app/virtual directory because I'm not allowed to create another at any cost :(

If so, how?I know; Windows Forms based apps,console apps,DLL _ Class Library Projectsand I've had an introduction to ASP.Net.What I mostly want to know is, if WPF apps are for Silverlight then do they also run in a server based fashion like anASP.NET website would when you create ASP.Net webpages?Is it a way of creating what looks like a FORMS BASED application but it runs in a browser instead or what?Please enlighten me a bit further as I have no idea what WPF is all about.

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.

I am not a programmer or anything like that but I have managed to create a little program.The program is for work. It is VERY simple - it adds a few figures the user inputs and then generates a text output so the user can copy and paste it to a customers diary notes on the customers account.Here's the problem: It works on the managers computer but not on the consultants computers who will be using it! The reason it doesn't work is because the normal consultants computers don't have .NET installed :( The solution is simple - install .NET! lol however the company I work for is quite massive (corporate size) and our department is quite small and insignificant so if we want to install something like .NET on all the consultants computers it will take around 6-8 weeks! Now we desperately need to start using this mini program ASAP! Is there any humanly possible way to run a Visual Basic program without installing .NET? Is there some kind of file I can download and put in the folder of the mini program that will allow it to work?
View 2 RepliesI'm buying a new computer this week and the one I want has Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit. I program in VB.NET using VS2008. If I write a program and compile on this 64 bit windows, will it run in 32 bit? I did some reading and from what I understand is if it is not using any specific 64 bit drivers I should be good. I'm not doing anything fancy that I know of as far as drivers. I just wanted to see what everyone's past experience has been.
