View 8 RepliesIm building an application, will be releasing its beta version for a group of beta testers.I want to add "b" to the version number.E.g. my application's version number will be 1.0.0.0b.

View 3 RepliesI have a simple application that stores settings using My.Settings. When built using .Net 4.0, it works fine. If I change to build with .Net 3.5 Client (or just .Net 3.5) I get an error 'An error occurred creating the configuration section handler for userSettings/My_Application.My.MySettings: Could not load file or assembly 'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089''.

I've tried using the VS 2010 beta to edit some real projects, and it is next to unusable due to performance issues. The cpu is more or less constantly at 100%, and most often the code editor uses around 10 seconds to respond to any text input. If I introduce a couple of compile errors things get even worse. Are there some drastical performance improvements that are planned in the VB editor before release, or are there special things that might trigger this?

View 2 RepliesYou are invited to take part in one or more beta exams for Visual Studio 2010 and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.If you pass one of the beta exams, the exam credit will be added to your transcript and you will not need to take the exam in its released form. The 71-xxx identifier is used for registering for beta versions of MCP exams, when the exam is released in its final form the 70-xxx identifier is used for registration.

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?
