View 6 RepliesI am programming a service for a company that will log valuable performance data on machines that they lease out to other companies. It is critical for them that this information is as safe as possible and that it can only be read by us (a program created by us that is). I already made a trippledes encryptor that works fine but i still have the issue that a person can delete or move or corrupt the file if he somehow manages to get out of the operation software and gain acces to it.So my question is: Can i lockdown a file and make it as good as impossible to change the file or delete it other then by being the admin or the program that is generating them?

We use VB to create an HMI for an industrial environment. Currently, the computer we use has VB2005 Express Edition installed. When the application is developed, we take the Release folder which contains 7 files and place in on the computer with a shortcut to the executable.My boss stumbled upon another integrator that has a single executable. They apparently can stick this executable on any computer and it will run. He says that the "visual basic runtime" is included in the executable and it "just runs".I know just enough about VB to do what I need to do and am not overly familiar with all the inner workings. I seem to recall VB5 & 6 having a single executable as long as the runtime was installed already.Does VB2005 have the capability of a single executable?

I am reading a txt file and displaying the contents into a listbox but it generates an empty listbox item at the bottom of the listbox. I am splitting the textfile each time it finds a new line in the txt file;
.Split(vbNewLine)
The problem there is always a blank line in the txt file at the end and so generates a blank list item. How can I remove this blank list item from the listbox? Is it best to try to remove the blank line from the txt file first or the empty list item from the listbox after the file has been read?
