Retrieve Keys From DLL Configuration File Not From Current EXE Configuration File?
Feb 7, 2011I have 3 components :
1.Manager : dll containing Iterface definition and other things
2.Implementation: dll containing Implementation of the Interface
3.Executable: (maybe this one could be a external application or another dll using the libraries)
I have particular methods (iside the interface dll file) that extract information of real Implementation from AppSettings keys in order to instance it using reflection. I use the Manager inside the Excecutable, but when I try to retrieve a especific key defined in "Manager.dll.config" (appSettings), the value returned is empty because the configuration file used is "Excecutable.exe.config" I need this configuration information in Manager config file because this Manager will be used from other programs and the configuration must be centralized into that config file to replicate the possible changes to every app calling this dll.How can I to specify that the ConfigurarionManager.AppSettings must extract values from manager.dll.config file?
Encrypting And Decryption A File
Sep 20, 2011I am actually really new to VB and C#. From numerous tutorials that i found online i was able to create a small program that will encrypt a file. However I am having a really hard time decrying it back.[code]All I am trying to do is to create a program that will decrypte these file with an upload button. Our system encrypts the files to prevent operators from changing the results, we need to trend the data. However it will take way to long to use the online tool provided with the software. A desktop tool will save us much more time. The files generated are 70mb and up.

VS 2010 - Code For Encrypting A File
Feb 26, 2012Here is my code for encrypting a file:

This happens with large files. I gather that I have to use a fixed size buffer and read the file in small chunks, copying those chunks from the input to the output stream, until I reach the end of the input file.
Ripping Open A File And Encrypting Its Guts?
Mar 4, 2010I am working on a program that uses AES encryption to encrypt a file. I fully understand AES encryption (after lots of research) and I am able to encrypt a big long string of binary numbers. How do you turn a file into a string of zeros and ones. Actually, a file will probably be represented using hexadecimal, so......How do you turn a file into a string of hex values? Is this even possible in vb?

Jul 30, 2011I have a vb.net 2008 desktop application to make changes to it. Since the production database will be changing within a month, I know that i need to change the .net remoing.
1.I change the configuration manager file (app.config) in debug mode to point to the 'new' test database, however the changes are not pick up. The application is still pointing to the current database. Thus can you tell when what kind of files.I need to change so that this application picks up the 'test' data base?
2. After I have tested the changes that need to be made, I will need to deploy the changes. Thus i am assuming that I will need to do something different so I can put the application changes into production. Thus, can you tell what kind of extra dlls,exe, xml, and other files I will need to include in the deployment package? Is there anything else I need to do in the deployment package? This application uses .net remoting to have the database connect to the various proejct files in the entire solution file.

View 12 RepliesMSbuild Getting The Current Configuration From The Solution File?
Jul 31, 2009In my VB.NET project I have three configurations DEBUG|TEST|RELEASE.
Currently when I am building using MSbuild and TeamCity I hard code the configuration, which smells badly!, to TEST
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Test</Configuration>
Now before everyone screams at me not to hardcode this, the reason this was done was becuase we could NEVER seem to get $(Configuration) populated.
So my question is within MSBuild how can I read the currently selected configuration from the solution file commited to SVN?
System.Configuration Config File Name Missing
Nov 3, 2009I am trying to execute a VB .net console application called Application1 that I created using Visual Studio 2008 with .net framework 3.5. When I run it under the windows scheduler or from a command prompt it works fine. When I try to run it under a purchased job scheduler, I get a message stating that directory APPLIC~1.config is missing. What properties does system.configuration use when it tries to find an application's .config file? Can these be set when my application starts?
Note: I was able to use ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "" & My.Application.Info.AssemblyName & ".exe") to get around this issue but would like a cleaner solution. I do not want to do this each time I want to retrieve an appSetting entry.

View 3 RepliesHow To Build Custom Configuration Section In App.Config File
May 6, 2010I am trying to build custom configuration section in my app.config file. I am using the following as my example: [URL]. According to this article, I am supposed to inherit from the ConfigurationSection class, add the desired section to my app.config file, and then specify a "configSections" declaration in the app.config file to identify the section and the class that should process it. My problem is that I cannot get the class loader to load my class for processing the section.
If I follow the example and set up my "configSections" as:
<configSections>
<section name="MyStuff.Configuration"
type="MyStuff.MyConfigurer"
allowLocation="true"
allowDefinition="Everywhere" />
</configSections>
I get the following error:
Could not load type 'MyStuff.MyConfigurer' from assembly 'System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
I think the error is telling me it can't load my class from the System.Configuration DLL and that makes sense; the class is in my application code. So how do I tell it to look in my application code to find the class? Do I have to put my class in its own DLL to get this to work? As an alternative approach, is there some way I can just find the section in the application configuration and process the XML myself? The app.config file is the ideal location for this information. Also, this would be easier for me than going through all of these contortions to do what should be a relatively easy operation.
Simple Read/Write App.config Configuration File
Feb 6, 2010I have a program with various settings, all stored in the app.config file. Often, I have a need to edit the connection string setting. I cannot do so using the My.Settings.myConnectionStringVariable method, as this is read-only. What I would like to do is have a big text box, and simply load the entire app.config file into it. The user could modify whatever they wanted, click save, and the program would save the new edits to the app.config file, and restart the program. I don't have a huge need to only pull out the connection string, as getting the text for the entire config file would suffice. However, if it is easier to pull out just the connection string from the config file, that would work too.

Binding A Textbox's Text Value Setting To A Variable In Configuration File?
Jul 22, 2009I am binding a textbox's text value setting to my a variable in my configuration file. I only consider the input from this textbox to be valid if it's an integer number bigger than 1. Right now what I was doing is letting the user write whatever he wanted in the box, and I'd only let him save the settings after calling a validation function. The problem seems to be that my binding variable in the Settings class seems to be being updated as soon as the textbox is being edited, and that's a behaviour i'd like to skip. How can I do this?
View 3 RepliesUser Create Template / Configuration File For Application That Can Be Used For Different Scenario's?
Aug 13, 2011I have an application that I'm writing that needs to allow the user to be able to create templates and save them for how the applicaton will work. For instance, lets say I am provisioining mobile devices, and my application allows the user to create a template to only install "application1" on the device, with "application1" settings for "devicetype1". But then if the user has "devicetype2", he or she can select the template that they created to install the software for that kind of device. I've looked around and all I find is the .exe.config for read only application settings, and I have found the user.config for the read/write variables. But that won't work as my application could have several templates depending on what the user chooses. I'm looking to have my app have a "create template", "edit existing template, and"use existing template" buttons, and have my config file extension like *.ipx for example.

Autogenerate/compile Code On-the-fly At Runtime Based Upon Values (like Key/value Pairs) Parsed Out Of A Configuration File?
Jan 2, 2011I have a set of classes that mimics enums (see my other questions for specific details/examples). For 90% of my project, I can compile everything in at design time. But the remaining 10% is going to need to be editable w/o re-compiling the project in VS 2010. This remaining 10% will be based on a templated version of my Enums class, but will generate code at runtime, based upon data values sourced in from external configuration files.what my Enums class looks like. The templated fields, per that question, will be the MaxEnums Int32, Names String() array, and Values array, plus each shared implementation of the Enums sub-class (which themselves, represent the Enums that I use elsewhere in my code).I'd like to parse values from a simple text file (INI-style) of key/value pairs:
[Section1]
Enum1=enum_one
Enum2=enum_two
Enum3=enum_three
So that the following code would be generated (and compiled) at runtime (comments/supporting code stripped to reduce question size):
Friend Shared ReadOnly MaxEnums As Int32 = 3
Private Shared ReadOnly _Names As String() = New String() _
{"enum_one", "enum_two", "enum_three"}
[code]....
I'm certain this would need to be generated in MSIL code, and I know from reading that the two components to look at are CodeDom and Reflection.Emit, but I was wondering if anyone had working examples (or pointers to working examples) versus really long articles. I'm a hands-on learner, so I have to have example code to play with.
