C# - Locally Unique Identifier?
Aug 14, 2010
Question: When you have a .NET GUID for inserting in a database, it's structure is like this:
60 bits of timestamp,
48 bits of computer identifier,
14 bits of uniquifier, and
6 bits are fixed,
128 bits total Now I have problem with a GUID, because it's a 128 bit number, and some of the DBs I'm using only support 64 bit numbers. Now I don't want to solve the dilemma by using an autoincrement bigint value, since I want to be able to do offline replication.

how to determine this? I know how to get the "processor ID" etc. but this is apparently not a unique identifier.This is for an intel i7 975. My boss has asked us to make sure that no-one tampers with several parts of a process control computer.

Anyone know of a unique identifier I can grab from a Windows PC?I am working on licensing of my app and I want to assign the user a license key and have the key and some unique piece of data from the PC hit a database server of mine and then check credentials before the program runs.I thought about using host name but that can be cloned. I also thought of MAC address but if a computer has a wired and wireless NIC then there are multiple MAC addresses.

I have a table in an SQL database bound to a datagridview and am having an issue with understanding what happens when I add a new data row.
My datatable is built in code with the first column created using this sql command...
vb
cmdString = String.Format("CREATE TABLE {0} ({1} INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, ", tableName, columnNames(0))
after that there a a number of other columns added to the command to build the table. After the table is created, I fill the datatable and bind the datagridview using this code....
vb
Dim cmdString As String = String.Format("SELECT * FROM {0}", DB_DATALOG_TABLE_NAME)
DataLogAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(cmdString, dBConnection)
DataLogTable = New DataTable
[Code].....
This is where my understanding is falling. Because I have created the datatable's first column with the NOT NULL key word, an exception throws when I try to update the data adapter because the first column of the data row is empty By creating the table with the first column the IDENTITY key word, doesn't that imply that the database will generate the value for that column? If so, when I add a new datarow, how does the identity column get filled?

I'm looking for a method of generating unique identifiers for a record class being created locally and then persisted in various formats (XML, SQL, etc.) I've seen people using DateTime and GetHashCode, but that seems to lend itself to duplicate identifiers depending upon the sample size. GUID is a bit overkill, as I don't need anything that unique (large) at the global level. I'm also aware of using GUIDs and GetHashCode to get the size down a bit, but duplicates tend to crop up here as well. Any best practice or method for generating simple unique identifiers?

I am looking to return a machine specific unique identifier from an EXE. I've tried MAC, hard drive serial and CPU ID, but all contain alpha characters. This makes returning them as an integer difficult - integer seems to be the only type you can return from an EXE.

I have a read-only mssql-view, and I want to map it to nhibernate (using hbm.xml files). The view is a select that joins two tables. For give an abstract-insight, the select is something like this:
SELECT A.Id As A_ID, B.Id As B_ID,
A.AttributeA, B.AttributeB,
FROM A INNER JOIN B ON
A.Id = B.RootID
It's a one-to-many relationship between A and B (B entries are dependant/leafs of A entries).
I'm using nhibernate's hbm.xml files, and I can't make it to work. I'd gladly appreciate if someone can enlight me of the kind of XML that I have to use, I guess that as my view has no ID, I have to create a composite-nhibernate id (wich will be the ids os A and B together) but I couldn't make it to work. Also the view is READ ONLY so I think that should make the solution easier.

In my [2005] application, I use the MacAddr / CpuId / DiskId of the computer to validate my licence using the WMI calls. The problem is we just can't thrust this feature because on a good percentage of the computers this feature is not installed properly or completely disabled.The users are not experienced, they are located in a remote location and I just don't feel like debugging their Windows installation every time they want to try my application.Is there a working alternative that I can use that will always return me a unique identifier for every computer which will always be available on 2000 / XP / Vista systems?

ASPX:
<a
href="ShowImageVB.aspx?id=<%# Eval("ProdID") %>">
<asp:Image
runat="server"
ID="ImageThumbnail"
AlternateText="Click here to open the real size image"
ImageUrl='<%# "ShowImageVB.aspx?thumbnail=true&ID="& Eval("ProdID").toString%>'
Style="border-width:
0px;"
/>
</a>
Code Behind:
Dim data As DataView = SqlDataSource1.[Select](New DataSourceSelectArguments())
The above code does not seems to work when I change my ProductID to UniqueIdentifier Datatype. This is the error I have ""Input string was not in a correct format."
But when change the ProductID to Int datatype is working fine.

I 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)

I a function belows which is being used to preview an image but that involves saving the image locally in my drive. I am using this feature in an data entry form which means if the user discards the form, I have to delete the image which I feel is not efficient. How can I go about previewing the image and only save it locally if the user saves the form.

I created a program in MS Visual Web Developer 2010. It has a form that simply launches a script that manipulates a database. The project lives in several files and they are all inherited so they see each other and it accesses a MSSQL Express DB on one of our servers.
When I F5-Run the project locally on my PC it works fabulously. When I copy it to a web-enabled (application) folder on the server it executes but almost my very first line of code fails with this error[code]...

I'm looking for the best way to locally save settings to an application.I want the settings to "attach" themselves to the executable of the application so that I can send the application to another PC and still have the settings.The purpose of this is for a server that is going to issue an executable to anyone who requests it, the server sends an executable with the callback settings hardcoded into the application (for example IP, port and other settings) so that the application can connect to the server.I can't hardcode the settings in the source code because the application is going to be issued by different servers which of course, will need a different connection setting.I also don't want the settings to be stored on a file or any other "external" resource since then, the settings could be changed which could open security holes to exploit the application.So what I want to do: I want an executable to have some settings attached which will be set by another application. How can I set the settings of one application with another? And how can I efficiently save the settings internally on an application and then copy the file to another PC while still having the settings?

I am working on a periodic table of elements with buttons for each element-done
next step. textbox + chemistry formulas = grams to mole conversions/ moles to L/ moles to molecules.
The problem I'm having is dimming the chemicals Arsenic(As) and Indium(In). I need to dim these as integers = to their atomic mass G/Moles. But I am not able to Dim them because they are highlighted in blue and the help tip comes up as "keyword is not a valid identifier" is there anyway I can tell VB to not use "In" and "As" how it normally does and use it for integer values?

I have an application that authenticates against a third party web service by sending a username and password. At the moment I'm typing the password on a winform each time I start the application - but I need it to login automatically.
I'd like to store the username/password somewhat more securely than
Dim username as String = "username"
Dim password as String = "password"
I understand that I probably won't stop a determined hacker with access to my source code, but storing them as plaintext feels wrong. I've found some similar questions on here but none that provide me with an answer I can use.
Edit: The web service isn't mine, it's an API that requires me to login to use.

My desktop application is developed in VB.Net and can be run through two types of users, one who install it on their local machine and execute locally.
Second type of users will run the application remotely from the server.i.e. Application will install on the server and user will execute that application from client side. Server can be a Citrix Meta Frame or any server accessed through Remote Desktop Connection. I want to maintain single exe for both types of users.
Is there any mechanism/way through which I can come to know programmatically whether application is running locally or remotely?

I have two main troubles. The most important is the telnet one. I have another program which sends data via telnet locally on the PC. It requires a login and optional pass. I can connect and draw data which comes in 77 byte packets.
The problem is, the first packet of data doesn't display until the 2nd one comes in, which for this arrangement could 10s or 24 hours depending on the final user's intended use. This staggered data rx continues until termination of the program. I've used tcpClient.Available() to confirm that my app is seeing the data almost the instant it leaves the other program but for some reason the message isn't passed until the 2nd packet arrives. I'm sure I've probably implemented this in a most cumbersome way so any streamlining.
The second issue (which is contributing in part to the first) is the timer which here uses a freeby snip from a forum somewhere - it screws with the app's menu's controls and program flow. I've tried the VB2008 timer but can't seem to make sense of the best way to use it in this context. I think I've been looking at the screen too long and can't see the obvious.

If you try and do the same in a control that inherits Control, you get an error,Keyword is not valid as an identifier. Since Step is a keyword via the For Next statement.
So, how do you achieve the same as the ProgressBar has done in a custom control?
