How to distribute required *.dll files with your application ?
I want to include System.Data.SQLite.DLL file
My application writes to the event log if there is an error or other status updates.
The application checks to see if there is an event source named "applicationName"and if not, it creates the source (see code below).
This works fine if the user is an administrator.
If the user is not an administrator, an error is thrown when SourceExists is called:
{"The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible logs: Security."}
In my environment, the typical user is NOT an admin. Therefore, I cannot use the event log in my application.
Is there a way around this, or is the event log effectively useless for distributed applications?

Basically what i need is for something to look at the items in a list box then compare it to the contents that is in the database. The issue is that the listbox can have more than one of the same item. For instance, LstBox_Order.items(0) could be the same at any position in the listbox. This code works, but it is slow if there is like 10 or more items added.

View 9 RepliesI have built an excellent licensing key system which works well on desktop pc's. Basically I run an algorythm on the Hard Disk Serial Number and the Customer Name. While this is not totally brilliant, it seems to work really well (on desktop machines or machines with real hard disks). Now that we come to Tablet PC's, I have found that the Serial Number of the "DISK" which is normallyan SSD is the same from one machine to the next - so all unlock codes end up the same. How about making a unique code for each machine I install my application on?

I want to create a license key function for my application.
For example I want in this key to contact 2 values: registered_to, expiry_date.
I want the licence key to be some sort of large string like: 2349ASDGKLASD87ASDGALSDK8ASD80972K.
I would need to create some way to create keys use some sort of algorhithm that decrypts the key and grabs the registered_to and expiry_date values. It also needs to check that the key string has some sort of check digit like credit cards have, so no-one can just type in a few random letters/numbers and it accepts.
I'm building a listview search feature in my app. (See the code below). It works really well, except if you search "T" then the code removes all items, if you search "t" then it removes every item except for those starting with "t". Is there any way to make a 'like' statement, or use some kind of wildcard to make the statement not case sensitive?

View 2 RepliesI have written a POS application, and now i want to create different versions of it.omething like a basic version, a premium version and a Full version. So if a client pays more they get more features in the same application. Is it possible that i could keep one standard application but features in my application get enabled / disabled depending upon what license key user enters. Restrict parts of code that can be executed only if a certain key was entered.

View 2 RepliesHow do I create a .NET component as a DLL and distribute it?
View 3 RepliesI create Win32 DLL using vb.net (VS2005), for later use in vb6 application. I've try and it's workout (on my pc). I'm wondering if theres a way to distribute that dll files with my vb6 application, without installing net framwework on target pc.
If you wonder why i'm doing this, the answer The current application on target computer still using application that i've develop with vb6. My company have a plan to migrate to VB.net so i have to update a litle by litle so the old application still running until the new one (which i developed using vb.net) is ready to lunch. By the time new application running, my plan/target is i only update a minor change/installation.
Maybe it's because I'm using Express that I can't publish my program in any fashion to my friend? I've tried using Clickonce to send it by email, I've tried publishing my program on a webpage, but whatever I try ends in errors.
View 8 RepliesI have had a lot of trouble trying to distribute my programs for money. The way they are set up, you type in one product key, and it is activated. Now you can do this for any amount of installations or computers. What I would like to be able to do is have it so they can only use a product key 5 times. For example, you would host a text file on a server like this:
" XOTS3-G4SIT-HJ58GS-HMG52J, 1, 5" where the random characters are the product key, 1 is the amount of times it has been used, and 5 is the maximum limit. Something tells me that this is going to tie in with ASP.NET somehow, which I have no experience in, so if we could stay away from that it would be great. Also, I am having lots of trouble hosting a website from my house, so if there is a way to host it on another server like ripway.com that would be good too. I know I am supposed to post a source, but I really just want to know how to read and write to a text file on another computer using vb.net. I could figure out the rest.
I'm on VS 2008 I have one form contains many textboxes,when I write in one textbox (UserName) the letters and numbers should distribute to the other texts where each textbox has only one letter or number from the original text to get them ready to be encrypted.
What code I can use in text change event that takes the whole text and throw it in the other textboxes so each textbox has only one value ?
So I have been searching around the next and keep finding solutions that all have errors due to upgrades. Basically what I want to do is load the following type of XML file when a button is pushed:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Do not edit this file -->
<DATA version="1.0" xsi:schemaLocation="[URL]" xmlns="[URL]" xmlns:xsi="[URL]">
<NOTES> <NOTE NameId="Name1" Colour="13" PNotes="Test7" />
[Code] .....
But after that I want to sort out the attributes. I want all of the NameId's to go into a ListBox. After I get that problem sovled I am wanting to have the info in the PNotes attribute to be displayed in a TextBox when the connecting NameId is selected in the ListBox.
I've used VB2008EE to create a Windows Forms app which includes a Help form. The helpform contains a Treeview for navigation and a WebBrowser control which displays the relevant part of an HTML page containg the help information.The app is intended to be used offline - so I need to include the HTML page file as part of the published app, and I need to be able to specify where this HTML file will be installed on the target computer so that the URI in my Helpform which loads the Help page will locate this file.
(I expect the HTML file should live in the directory pointed to by the:
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData property)
how to specify the Project settings and Publish Wizard etc. (& whatever else is necessary) in order to achieve the above.
I am developing a winforms application that will have an offline mode, so that it can access the data if an internet connection (or more accurately, a connection to my WCF service) cannot be established. I have decided to utilize SQL Server Compact edition on the client side of the application & was wondering what the general consensus is on the "best" practice for making the client application (Sql Server Compact) subscribe to the master database (MSSQL 2008).
Management enters information into a web based administration panel that I developed and is stored in a MSSQL 2008 database.After adding / modifying information, they can click a release "datapack" button which will increment a "datapack" version number, which will later be used by the client application to determine if they are in sync or not. When the client application is started, it connects to the internet and determines if the version numbers are in sync. If not, it pulls the information from the server.
That third step is where I'm a bit lost I thought about simply developing a web service that will expose a dataset containing all of the data and just iterating through it doing inserts, but that seems terribly inefficient to me. The full database probably wouldn't amount to much more than 5 MB total, so that led me to think it would be great if when management clicks the release datapack button, it would store the database in a file that could simply be downloaded and would replace the embedded database. Again, I'm a little lost on how that would work. This is my first time working with an embedded database, most of my work has been web/win apps that have real-time access to the data.
