I need to bound the license keys to one hardware of the customer's computers.Now I get the CPU Id (but is not unique id) and already some business only bought 1 license and install the app + 1 computer with the same CPU Id.There is any part of the hardware that generates unique ID? The motherboard? [code]

View 2 RepliesI am using VB .Net to access the eBay API and store all completed orders in a database. This database is then fed into a proprietary shipping system, which can not handle an order number larger than 20 characters. eBay returns an order number like so 230407279314-680141236013 which is too long. The order number is always 12 numbers a hyphen and 12 more numbers. What I need to do, is turn this (the result can be alpha numerical) into a shorter, unique order key to store in my database alongside the true orderId (so that this can be referenced by the shipping software instead of the actual order number). The reason for the 20 character limit is the barcode algorithm used. Is there any way to achieve this in VB .Net 2010? This number can be anything unique, so long as it does not exist already (even a good uniqueid function would work, but I would have to query the database to make sure it isn't taken)

View 2 Repliesim making an application in vb.net (duh!) anyway i have created and coded the whole project and it performs exactly as i want it to (i dont need code help). my problem lies with the fact that my project is 2-3 parts
1.a setup form that gathers inital data about the enviroment stores this data encrypted in a config file. after inital setup this form is not displayed again. but needs to be run on both computers
2. the second form is the real application form im in the process of turning this part in to a background service anyway this form is the one that establishes the connection between two nodes it works correctly
3. the config files
anyway here is my problem i want to make this application distributional with just one file the (.exe) and have this .exe make everything else happen. it runs the setup form and creates the first config file which it does then it needs to produce a copy of just the second form and the config file to transfer to workstation #2 that will run independtly without the whole application which i cant make happen then it needs to turn both workstations application on by only starting one on either computer and invoke the other computer to start its corrosponding app also no idea how to make this happen any ideas or suggestions as to where to look to try to find my answers.im thinking i might need to make two seperate applications (a setup app, and the running app) and include them both in a project and use the setup.exe to to package them together this is a little side project that im making for my self to use to make programming a little easier so i plan on giving it out to some fellow students to test and tell me what they think so im not really worried about ease of use or complicated procedures yet but if it turns out to work and actually be of use to anyone else i would be willing to rewrite it to distribute to the masses but for now i just want it to work for me.

I have a rather large DBML file and recently discovered that Visual Studio's MSLinqToSQLGenerator is generating different output than:
SqlMetal.exe All.dbml /code:All.designer.vb /namespace:LINQ2FSE /pluralize /provider:SQL2005
It seems to have dropped an arbitrary (and I think relatively small) set of associations from the generated VB code. But SQLMetal works fine. Shouldn't the output be the same?
After further research, I find that the difference seems to be associations on entities that involve properties that are also used on other associations on the same entity with a different number of columns. For example:
Entity A has columns id and name
Entity B has columns id, name and fkA (foreign key to A)
Entity C has columns id, name, fkA and fkB (nullable fkB)
Entity C has association C_A, which links fkA to A.id
it also has association C_B, which links fkA and fkB to B.fkA and B.id The code for properties supporting C_B will not be generated by Visual Studio, but will be generated by SqlMetal.exe.Is this kind of association allowed? Is there a reason the code is being generated differently?
ByRef vs ByVal generates errors!?I had a method that used an Object Function Foo(ByRef bar as CustomObject) as Boolean this method generated errors, because some strange .NET Runtime things changed the bar object, causing its Dispose()al.A lot of time spent to understand the thing(where the ... object is changed), until somebody replaced ByRef by ByVal and object wasn't change anymore when passing to this method.As in my case the function Foo does NOT modify the bar, shouldn't ByRef or ByVal have the same effect?[code]
View 4 RepliesI have three checkboxes on my datagridview namely, Yes, No, Inv. If the value is set to True in the table which populates the datagridview the respective checkbox is checked and if false unchecked.Now, when on runtime I try to check a checkbox on the Yes Column I receive the followinf error;
DataGridView Default Error Dialog
The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:
System.FormatException: is not valid value for Boolean. -->System.Formatexception: String was not recognised as a valid Boolean.

The No and Inv allow me to check and uncheck the checkboxes as many as I want without generating the error.

View 2 RepliesI am using Visual Basic.NET 2008. I was earlier a VB 6 developer. I found a (VB 6) code online which generates gradient colours on a form. It has a small sub (routine) which does the trick. If we pass red, green and blue values then form's backcolour changes and it appears like a gradient.Now that code is not working in VB.NET.i mean is there an easier way to generate gradient colours in VB.NET (2008)convert the code I have into .net specific so form's backcolour becomes gradient.I have attached a zip file which contains the code.

View 2 RepliesI have the following code which extracts the contactcode from a table in a database;
[Code]...
Code: lblUniqueID.Value() = (RandomPassword.Generate(4, 6)) Now, I want to compare the contactcode values extracted from the database and the value stored in lblUniqueID.Value(). If the random password is similar to one of the contactcode then generate another RandomPassword IF NOT then place the value to another label called lbltransfer.text.
I'll insert that value to the database.. The idea is extract all the contactcodes(these are the random passwords already generated and stored) from the database. Compare with the new generated password if it exists then create another one if not then store it in a label called lbltransfer.text.

I'm Trying to make a piece of software where You enter a number and the computer measures the length of the number, and then generates random numbers to match the human number. It will then count the number of guesses and the time taken. However it always comes up that there was a infinite loop "An unhandled exception of type 'System.StackOverflowException' occurred in System.Windows.Forms.dll". I have searched up how to do this and I can't seem to find out how. I think I just put my wording wrong when looking it up. My Software Has Has 2 TextBox, 2 Buttons, 6 labels (4 just to make it user friendly) and a timer.
Here is the Code:
Public Class Form1

Dim GuessesTaken As Integer

I'm supposed to make an app where computer generates a random number using a function and then the user has to guess the number. If they get it right, they see a picture.... If they get it wrong the loop keeps going until ten guesses are up.. I'm running into quite a few problems...
1. I don't know how to tell if the photo will show up if the number is right because right now I have it set to false in the form, so it dosen't show up but in my loop I included the code that SHOULD allow it to show up if both numbers are the same.... Not sure if this is correct...
2. I have a textbox that is supposed to keep track of the number of guesses but the message automatically becomes Game Over and the guesses go up to 11 as soon as I click the Are You Right Button?
3. When I try to debug, my app freezes and I don't know why...
