All things point to a database but for several reasons I can't use a database.
Basically i am creating a console application that will create and store client information as a .txt file it is going okay but i have come across a slight hick up i want to use something on the lines of this .....
dim lastname as string
Do Until Integer.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), LastName) = False
Console.WriteLine("Invalid input, Please try again")
Console.Write("LastName:-")
[code].....
this works fine to trap out numbers from letters but the problem i am getting is when the program calls uppon LastName it is recording 0 and wanted to know if there is a way of getting past this ..... so basically i need a way to allow letter but not numbers and symbols and then dispay a pernolised error message but at the same time use Stream writer to save was the answer is in a .txt file.
I am trying to store confidential encrypted user information for my program on a single computer. I do not want the application to be copied on to another computer and be usable. So I was thinking about storing the information in the Registry but I read that that is a very unsafe location and is bad for more reasons then one. I started storing the information in the programs Settings.config file but I am not sure how to encrypt that information. The only thing I have gotten to work so far is storing the information in a XML file and encrypting that which has worked but I want the information to be more hidden and more secured.

View 4 RepliesI need to have the ability to have a Global variable/class that stores some basic information about the currently logged in user including that user's preferences, security rights, UserID, etc. This information will be needed by any/every part of my application. In the past I have either used a Public variable/class in a vb.net module for this purpose. I'm trying to get away from my old ways of doing things and was curious what people currently do for this functionality.
I am thinking a singleton or 2 regarding preferences and security but am not sure if that is the best way to go.

Can I safely move ReferencePath information from a .vbproj.user (or .csproj.user) file into the corresponding project file? Note: All developers will be using developing from the same location on their machines.We'd like to allow users to maintain their own settings for other things, but have this basic info be setup once and checked into source control to be shared to all.

I am coding a program that will allow the user to input 5 payrolls for Store 1, Store 2, and Store 3. The total of the 5 payrolls are then added together and shown in the respective Store's labels. A total label is also there to add up all the totals into one number. The numbers in the label must be in currency form. My problem is the numbers don't add correctly when I hit calculate. The first two numbers add together, but then after that the number just seems to subtract a random amount.
So far I have this --
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.Close()

The idea is that I have certain values stored in textboxes/listboxes and thus can I store the information in a spread sheet. And if I change the value in the spreadsheet can it also change the value in the application? I had one idea which was to make both store data in a txt file and read from that, but I'm not quite sure how to do that either.

I need to know where the Install Shield gets the user information from?
This comes up on the last page of an install at the bottom.
User Information:
Name:
Company:
Does this information comes from the machine that is installing and if so where? or Does this information get stored in the installshield project? If so How can I change this?
I have changed two registry keys from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWow6432NodemicrosoftWindows NTCurrent Version
RegisteredOrganization
RegisteredOwner
My application project was created before I made the change. I then deleted the install shield project and started over but got the same results..
For some reason my setup project says
user: Microsoft
company: Microsoft
I would like to change this to my User Information if possible.
I am creating a windows application using visual studio. I want somehow to insert an excel file into the application so the user will be able to download it from the program and save it to his computer. This means that the file will be a part of the program. There will be a button that will prompt the user to save the particular file somewhere so he can then view it.
What should I do in order to "embody" the excel file to the application? And what code should I write to link the file with the button?

what is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.
The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.
The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts
How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.
