VS 2010 : Error : Encryption.specified Key Not Valid
Jan 25, 2012
I tried to follow this method from microsoft i added the whole code to a module and tried to call EncryptFile in a form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
EncryptFile("C: est his.txt", "C: est his2.txt", "nothing todohere")
MsgBox("tada!")
End Sub
However I got this error message Error "Specified key is not a valid size for this algorithm."in
DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(sKey)
the this.txt contains only the text whatitdo btw, can this process handle large text files? about 100KB?
In the following code all goes well until the .Sort line. Then I get an error which says, "The sort method is not valid. Make sure it is within the data you want to sort and the first sort by box isn't the same or blank."I've tried various permutations to deal with this exception, all to no avail. The Range is Selected ok and the Excel data are pasted from the clip board ok. Then I get the error and no sort occurs.
I have inherited a VB.NET project which was created in VS 2003 and is now in VS 2010. It works fine on one macine (32 bit). However, on my Win7 64 bit machine it simply won't build or run. I get an error saying "xxx is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1) Line 4762, position 5"
Looking to make my program FIPS 140-2 compliant and found this project code in vb:[code...]
It converts to VS2010 just fine so, thought I'd try to use it as a starting place. The problem right now is that the key is in the executable, I know it's just a sample but can't figure out how to hide the key. So, thought I could take the user who is logged onto the computer and use a hash of their password as the key, and don't store it anywhere or better put it in a public encrypted variable (not sure about this part either). Anyway, getting stuck on this part and can't continue testing, looks like a conversion error:[code....]
I want to encrypt various credentials stored in my.settings and a few other files but using a hash of a users password but not stored on the computer. I might be a little fuzzy on the whole idea of being FIPS 140 compliant. Looks like I need to probably use AES and a non stored key somehow.
Right now my program loads a first form that loads up two text boxes username and password. If the (decrypted) password that gets typed in matches what the (decrypted) value of my.settings.password then it will continue to load the next form. The encryption is not currently AES and the password key is stored in the .exe. So, I'm trying to change that.
In one application, I need use 4 simultaneous threads.When the threads finished, I need to update the text of a TextBox.So, I create 4 Textbox, and I wanna the threads change the text to FINISHED.Each thread change one distinct TB.I use this "example"
Dim Terminados As Integer = 0 Private Sub frmEnviarMensagem_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Timer1.Enabled = True Timer1.Start()
[code]....
The problem is, I have an error in the red lines.The error is: INVALIDOPERATIONEXCEPTION "Cross-Thread operation not valid: Control tbPlaca1 Accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on."I don't use cross threading. Each TB only was accessed for the correspondent thread, and for the "main program".
I am using the code from the following link. Basically I am using the built in functions in visual basic for encryption (Cryptography). Seeing as there is a lot of code for it, I posted a link to the code I am using.

I get what this is doing and how it is doing it...for the most part. My question is how do you let the user set the key to be used instead of it randomly generating one? One of the reasons I want this over the random key is that the user will be able to remember it easier and the key generated sometimes has weird characters in it that not everyone will no how to use. I have tried everything I can think of.
The encryption works good, all I am using it for is to encrypt/decrypt a text document. If this is not too good of an encryption, that does not matter as I am not using it to encrypt any highly sensitive information. All I need is a way to be able to allow the user to set the key, but every time I try to pass a string through the encryption() method instead of a generated key (in the generateKey() method) it will give me an error.
I am having a problem that I keep getting the following error when I try to run my program.I am trying to make a circle the size of the value of FrameSize.A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll
This is the details of the error:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message=An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control '' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on. Source=DreamCatcher[code]......
I have (using some examples) created a program which reads from a file, encrypts the content and writes it to a new file. The file can then be reopened in the program and decrypted.Now I am trying to adapt the program to split the file into pieces as specified by the user whilst it is been written to the hard drive. This also works, but when the files are read and decrypted the original file seems to be corrupted. I have been testing it using a JPG which turns out viewable, but is distorted. However the filesize is the same as the orignal after the encryption/decryption process. [code]
I have set up a method in vb.net and in xcode for encrypting a string using as far as i can tell the same parameters for an AES encryption.I've looked all over the place but cannot find information on whether they use the same encryption algorithm and settings.
this is the vb.net code:
Dim encryptAES As New AesCryptoServiceProvider() Dim encoding As New UTF8Encoding() Dim encryptor As ICryptoTransform encryptAES.Key = encoding.GetBytes("12345678901234567890123456789032") encryptAES.IV = encoding.GetBytes("1234567890123416") encryptAES.Mode = CipherMode.CBC
I recently made a simple pseudo-encryption program that changes each character into another. It is capable of encrypting and decrypting a string. This can also be done to any text file as well. The characters range from ASCII 32-254 (This on it's own may be an issue because of #127 being DEL).
Because I believed my own coding may be at fault, I attempted this with Triple Des with identical results.For Triple Des, the requirements for en/decryption was:
Encrypt: String to Byte Decrypt: Byte to String
And to change them either direction, I used UTF8. I also attempted ASCII and UTF32, but I don't know what I should do. I am considering dropping this but I want to learn problems like this because I am currently in college and haven't started my core classes for programming yet and want the head start.
The point where I have come into a problem is attempting to do this to another file type like an image. I looked at the results from encrypting then decrypting and the results were similar, but it seems file encoding must be the culprit.
I'm trying to make simple payroll system using vb.net 2003 and Access 2007. When I press 'delete' button in this application, having a "Specified cast is not valid" error.
conPayroll.Open() Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "select*from EMT where Empno='" & mskEmpno.ClipText & "'" comEMT.CommandText = strSQL
I am currently coding a tabbed web browser. I am adding a bookmarks function, but this stupid error is holding me back from compiling. I believe the code is flawless, but yet it says that a period is an invalid chracter [Code] The period in the SelectedTab.Controls is the one causing the problems, and I have no idea why.
This is the code I am using -I want to be able to find a files extension by selecting it with a OpenFileDialog.
Dim foundFile As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(OpenFileDialog1.FileName.ToString).ToString Dim check As String = _ System.IO.Path.GetExtension(foundFile) MsgBox("The file extension is " & check) TextBox1.Text = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
The error message I keep getting is that the directory name is invalid ( on the first line of code.

After reading many forums and trying the different examples, when I try and load my image from the database I get the "Parameter is not Valid" error.Im using VB 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and the data type is Image. I do not have access to the source code that is used to save the picture to the database, just access to tthe data in the db.The code I have included is the code I use to retrieve images from my db which stores the pictures as Image.
STEP1--image data is sending by a vehicle tracking unit.using a socket application i am tracing that data.the data from the vehicle tracking unit is not in a decimal format.image data coming from socket containing lot of special type of characters. so i am converting this image information to hex format using the code below.
Private Function Data_Asc_Hex(ByRef Data As String) As String On Error Resume Next 'first take each charcter using substring. 'then convert character into ascii. 'then convert ascii value into Hex Format Dim sValue As String Dim sHex As String = ""
I am trying to pull data from an SQL Database and put it into some variables to use. The problem I am having is I have a date field called DateSubtmitted that is originally set to Null in the database. When I try to pull it into a vb.net variable called SubmittedDate As Date, it is giving me the following error:
Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'Date' is not valid.
I thought that VB.Net data types could all hold the null value, but I guess not. I know this must be a beginner mistake, but how can I make the null value work. My code is below, the line that gives me the error is[code]...
I am trying to create a custom vb.net Excel 2007 function (UDF) using VS 2010 and have gotten to this stage (borrowing heavily from Eric Carter's example at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eric_carter/archive/2004/12/01/273127.aspx):
"Error 2 An error occurred while signing: Key not valid for use in specified state." I found this solution on the internet but I have no idea how to do it."Delete all data sources in the Server Explorer and add them again. Run the wizard again."
I have errors saying "statement not valid in a namespace" What is a namespace? They are variables that i want to set up so that each can only take a certain typr of data. Here are a few examples:
I'm trying to insert data into a mysql database, I'm using xampp as well if thats of any relevance? I keep getting this error: Connection must be valid and open.
