For the life of me I can not find the Enterprise Library Strong Naming Guidance Package download for Enterprise Library 4.1
I need this to sign the assemblies to add them to the GAC.
Does anybody know where I can find it?
I heard somewhere that I need to strong name my binaries before I distribute them.
View 4 RepliesI am getting a strong naming violation for the dll file and really new to signing applications. How would I proceed in resolving this so that I can build the application I will be supporting? Also, as the FreeImage reference gets updated will I need to re-sign it?
View 9 RepliesI am trying to use NAnt in order to compile and sign an assembly using the vbc compiler. I have a project set up and am able to successfully sign the assembly compiling with VS2010. When I try to sign it using the command line I get this error:
vbc : error BC30140: Error creating assembly manifest: Error signing assembly -- The parameter is incorrect.
I even created a trivially simple app (just an assemblyinfo.vb file) that will not compile and sign using vbc.exe What am I doing wrong?
here is my assemblyinfo.vb:
Option Strict Off
Option Explicit On
Imports System
Imports System.Reflection
[Code]....
I have found that MSBuild also does not like having the AssemblyKeyFile attribute as I have defined it in the AssemblyInfo.vb, it gives the same failure message. So the only way I can currently get this to build correctly is to set properties on the project to tell it which key file to use and to sign the assembly.
The reason this appears to work building the project from within VS2010 is that msbuild is passing /keycontainer to vbc.exe on the command line instead of using /keyfile. Still don't know how to use the /keyfile command line parameter.
In my shop we currently develop what I would consider small to medium sized projects.We have been investigating the Enterprise Library and how it may be able to help us in development.I have particularly been looking at the Logging block and comparing it with Log4Net.It seems to me that the Enterprise Library blocks would be an extremely over-engineered solution for something like simple application logging.That being said. Are you using the Enterprise Library and on what size projects? What are your thoughts on the Enterprise Library as a whole?
View 10 RepliesI just got finished watching a short video on logging using some of the built in concepts in Visual Studio 2005. This seems to do a good job. My question is why do people look for other solutions to logging such as Enterprise Library or Log4Net when there is a simple solution out of the box?
The video I watched primarily used the following for logging.
Code: My.Application.Log.WriteEntry(sb.ToString, type)
I'm trying to use the Enterprise Library RangeValidator attribute to validate that a decimal value is greater than zero:
<RangeValidator(GetType(Decimal), "0.00", RangeBoundaryType.Exclusive, "1", RangeBoundaryType.Ignore, "MyMessage", "", Nothing, False, "", "")> _
Public Property Holding() As Decimal

As far as I can see I am using the overload correctly. It works fine if I remove the messageTemplate related parameters but I want to be able to specify a custom message.

View 2 Replieswe are using the Enterprise Library data access application block in our data layer for an application. We must be doing something wrong though because we cannot seem to get encryption and the ability to reconfigure connection strings working well. For example, when the application starts, it checks if the connection strings are "Protected", and if they are not, we encrypt them using the following function:
[Code]...
Then comes another issue. If a user installs an update for the application, the first time it runs, nothing can connect if the config file was previously encrypted. A restart of the application (second time running) will fix the issue. with all of the battles we are fighting here, I wanted to ask if we are doing this right? How should we be encrypting and allowing updates. If you need to see the exceptions thrown, I can provide those upon request (will need to change some code to get them again, but it is doable).
Our app allows admins to connect to a different database, which means we need to temporarily decrypt the app.config's connection strings, re-write them, then re-encrypt it. Here's my current 'simplified' code showing how we do all 3 tasks:
Dim config As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None)
Dim section As ConfigurationSection = config.GetSection("connectionStrings")

I am trying to use #If DEBUG Then to show a designer view of a report in Debug mode, and to show a print preview otherwise. The 'Define DEBUG Constant' is ticked in the Project Settings/Compile/Advanced Compile Options.But when I run the exe I cannot see the difference that I want. Has anyone used this, and do you know if I am missing some setting, or whether I have to turn off the 'Define DEBUG Constant' setting to get this to work?

I'm converting a VB6 dll to VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008 Express. I want to use the same .dll to integrate with Excel via Excel-DNA, but also to be available via COM (I need to be able to call it from VBScript and VBA).

View 1 RepliesOk, I've read every question on here about strong named assemblies and just want to clarify something. First though, from what I've read, GAC aside, strong named assemblies prevent a malicious 3rd party changing and impersonating your code. It'd be great to have some links to some real world examples of this kind of spoofing that happened pre strong named assemblies. If security or the GAC are not a concern, It seems that it's still advisable to strong name assemblies because:
(A) Clients who have strong named assemblies can only reference your assemblies if they are signed.
(B) Clients who do not have strong named assemblies can reference your assembly whether it's signed or not.
Is that a fair analysis?

Use command-line option '/keyfile' or appropriate project settings instead of System.Reflection.AssemblyKeyFileAttribute'.
I am trying to make a strong (or even medium-security) based authentication. How this would work is simply by storing a username/code on web (using dropbox perhaps) then using those codes to pass on to friends to use. This way if you remove that code online,that person will no longer be able to access that program. As far as I know, it is quite simple to save the number of uses, or username and pass on a text file to save on their file or registry things can be done but that is only 1 computer based. That is a very easily crackable security and is not worth it.As far as I have know you need to create a new main form where the code/ id/ username/password/onetimelogin will be asked. If it is correct, form2.show if not then "exit". The codes are stores on a text file on dropbox.com like websites, then the link to the textfile is obtained.
View 3 RepliesI fully realize that what I am proposing does not follow the .NET guidelines, and, therefore, is probably a poor idea for this reason alone. However, I would like to consider this from two possible perspectives:
(1) Should I consider using this for my own development work, which is 100% for internal purposes.
(2) Is this a concept that the framework designers could consider changing or updating?
I am thinking about using an event signature that utilizes a strong typed 'sender', instead of typing it as 'object', which is the current .NET design pattern. That is, instead of using a standard event signature that looks like this:

I wanted to ask this question here rather then at the asp.net site (it takes too long to get an answer) because I think I have found a problem with how MVC 1.0 handles custom classes that implement IDataErrorInfo when using view binding. Not sure if this is a problem in v2.0 but I have never heard it mentioned.
Here's a little background, in MVC if I want to have strongly typed view, I create a class that basically holds the post information for me. MVC binds the form fields in the POST to the class properties of the same name for me automatically when I do this rather then implementing the ViewData dictionary.
