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?

I would like my program to overwrite its previous version such that users don't have to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
I'm guessing it has something to do with setting Publish Version (Major, Minor, Build, Revision), Assembly Version or File Version.
they need to make some compare version between host version and client version.. and each 1 version different will download the file to the client..[URL]..with both example, how can i make a program in VB.NET just like i said just now?

I'm working on a project that calls for high-performance networking with TLS encryption in VB.NET. The stock SSLStream sucks rotten eggs; its 'asynchronous' read/write operations aren't async at all, meaning that they'll operate parallel to each other and to the main thread but that it offers absolutely nothing that resembles async read/read and write/write, which means that reads are totally synchronous to each other and writes are too (only 1 read and only 1 write can be done at a time).
I've done a lot of reading on this failing and it seems like MS has no intention of ever fixing this.Hoping a whole lot not to have to write my own TLS implementation. I've tried the Mentalis open source SSL suite, which will NOT compile. I've tried SocketWrench tools which will not compile under VS 2010 (and whose documentation indicates it's in fact synchronous on its async threads too; can only do 1 async read and 1 async write at a time).
What I want/need is an SSL/TLS implementation that actually works with DotNET that actually allows me to do multiple asynch reads/writes over a TCP/IP transport stream. Anybody have any experience or recommendations on 3rd party toolkits or alternate methods of SSLStream I/O?
I've developed a .NET application that, among other things, does the following:Uses WebClient to retrieve data from a remote server.
Serves as a socket server to 2 'satellite' applications run on the same machine or on a LAN.When I run the app in the VS IDE, it works great. It quickly gets the data from the remote server and communicates perfectly with the 2 satellites.However, when I build it and run it as an EXE, the response from the remote server is very slow and its communication with the 2 satellite applications become very poor.Is there some important difference between running an app in the IDE and running it as an EXE that could effect it like this?
I'm overloading a vb.net search procedure which queries a SQL database.One of the older methods i'm using as a comparison uses a Stored Procedure to perform the search and return the query.My new method uses linq.I'm slightly concerned about the performance when using contains queries with linq. I'm looking at equally comparable queries using both methods.Basically having 1 where clause to Here are some profiler results;
Where name = "ber10rrt1"
Linq query : 24reads
Stored query : 111reads
[code]....
Forgetting for a moment, the indexes (not my database)... The fact of the matter is that both methods are fundamentally performing the same query (albeit the stored procedure does reference a view for [some] of the tables).Is this consitent with other peoples experiance of linq to sql? Also, interestingly enough;Using like "BER10%"
resultset.Where(Function(c) c.ci.Name.StartsWith(name))
Results in the storedproc using 13125reads and linq using 8172reads?
I have this code to ping a list of over 400 switches , the program works fine but for some reason the first time i ping all the switches alot of the attempts time-out(even tho they shouldnt) which makes the program alot slower , if i click ping again less of the attempts time-out(and as a result the program runs faster) and if i click it a third time i usually get a completely accurate result with all the switches pinging back "success" (except for a few which i know for a fact are down anyway) any ideas why this is ?

When writing an If statement, I've always used And when needed like: If 1=1 And 2=2 Then. The only time I ever used AndAlso is if the second condition will error if the first isnt true like: If Not IsDbNull(Value) AndAlso Value=2 Then. However, recently I've heard that AndAlso is better for performance than And as the second condition is only read when the first is true. In this case, should I always just use AndAlso?
View 3 RepliesThese 2 ways of working both work, but I'm wondering if there's a difference in performance:
Dim collection As ItemCollection = CType(CellCollection.Where(Function(i) i.IsPending = True), ItemCollection)
For Each item As Item In collection
'Do something here
Next
and
For Each item As Item In CellCollection.Where(Function(i) i.IsPending = True)
'Do something here
Next
I thought the second one was better as you'd have a variable less and looks cleaner, but on second thought, I'm not quite sure what happens when you put a linq query in the iteration.
I'm sorting a collection of type "Document" (usually around 100k records). Sorting usually takes around 4-5 seconds, and I'm wondering if there's a way to speed up sorting by modifying my "DocumentComparer" class which implements IComparer(Of Document). Since the Compare() method would be called hundreds of thousands of times, are there any performance improvements that could be made here that I've overlooked?

I'm creating a password hash recovery tool that uses brute force. I have the brute force algorithm run in a background worker. It all works, but some similar apps I tried out have performance ~100x bigger then my app. (mine does 50k keys/second, some others do 5m keys/second or more.)I realize this is partly caused by using a .Net language, but I suspect there are ways to significantly speed up the brute force. A lot of ppl say I should use multi threading, but how is this done in practice? Splitting up the passwords to check would slow down my app I think.

So, I've been reading around on the internet and through MSDN trying to find a way to add thousands of items to a combobox without taking 12 seconds.I KNOW, I'm going to incite reflex-responses involving: bad design; use categories and filter; use BeginUpdate ...Here's the thing.I've read through a lot of similiar forum questions as the one I'm asking and none really seemed to answer the question, but these responses are common.The problem is, there is no way to further categorize.I have thousands of customers and each customer can have anywhere from 1 to tens of thousands of designs.The designs have to IDs: DesignID and DesignTitle. The data entry people sometimes have the one and sometimes have the other. If they have the DesignID than all they've got is a number ranging from 1 to (at this time) 60,000. One Customer has 11000 designs. I don't know of any way to further categorize.The reason I use a combobox is for autocomplete. Also, with most customers there are only 10-20 designs, but for some there are thousands.I have to have one practical solution that handles all possibilities.
As far as BeginUpdate or SuspendLayout is concerned, neither have any effect.The sad thing is, the DataSource takes less than a second to load from my DataBase.It's just the setting of the datasource for the combobox that takes so long.It seems to iterate through the entire list once for the bindingsource and then again when I set the DisplayMember.I can set the display member before I set the binding source but that doesn't make any difference in terms of performance.Performance is improved by almost half when I don't use a BindingSource and just set the Combo's DataSource to the List directly, but, sadly, I need to use the bindingSource because there are multiple Combos using the same list.I know WPF uses virtualization for it's combos,.On the internet I found a Technical document on how to implement a Virtual Combobox in C#, but the code was incomplete and I don't really have the time to spend several days creating and debugging something like that.
In the following block of code always returns zero for the CPU usage. However, if I run it through Visual Studio in debugging mode, do a "Quick watch" on the variable "pcCPUCounter", add ".NextValue()" at the top, and tell it to reevaluate, that returns the varying percentage (eg, 5%, 71%, 16%, etc etc) as the processor utilization fluctuates.
Why would the code always print out zero, but the quick watch doesn't?
Private Sub UpdateCPUUsage(ByVal strSelectedServer As String)
'Performance items come Performance Monitor: perfmon.msc.
'The right-click on columns at bottom and select "add counter" to see list.

I have a VB.NET app that has DataGridViews and Drop Down boxes.In VB6, the FlexGrid was fast, scrolling was smooth.Now, in VB.NET, the DataGridView is really slow to scroll through, and the dropdown boxes are sluggish as well.For the interesting bit. If I run Microsoft NetMeeting and either leave it open or click the X to close it (it still stays as a resident program in the system tray though), all the data grids and drop downs work smoothly again.If I actually terminate NetMeeting, they go back to slow/sluggish again.What is it (was it?) in NetMeeting that maybe can be incorporated into my program (some Microsoft library?) that changes how the graphics redraw?
View 1 RepliesPossible Duplicate: Memory leak in .net application I am working on a desktop application in VB.net 2005.The application contains a timer with an interval of 1 min. Each time the timer ticks, a set of functions gets executed, mostly database related. Initially the application runs fine. In processes(Task manager) the cpu usage goes to 100% every time the timer is invoked. But the timespan is around 1 sec(negligible). However as the time passes and after around 20 hours the time span of timer_tick increases to something like 20-30 secs. In this period cpu usage is 100% and the application does not responds.Gradually the time span of timer_tick increases to 1 min and the cpu uses gets stuck to 100% and the application does not responds. All objects are properly disposed. Moreover, this issue is with pentium 4 processors.
