View 9 Replies.net - Securely Storing A Password Locally That Is Used For Web Service?
Apr 27, 2011I 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.

View 1 RepliesSecurity - Storing Windows Username + Password
Jan 6, 2011I'm writing a backup program for personal (for the moment at least) use.
For some directories (network directories / protected directories) credentials are needed to access them.
I can setup different jobs in the program to run at specific times.
These jobs are stored in an XML file.
I want to also store the usernames and passwords which the jobs will need.
What and where would be the best way to store these?
Changing permissions on the directories is not an option.

Storing 2005 Connection String, Username And Password Outside The Application?
Aug 13, 2009Does anyone know how to store the connection string in a file rather than hard coding it in the application. For example i have declared this connection string in the form to connect to oracle database and it works. But i assume this is not the right way to go by if one is looking for more secured environment.
strcon = "Provider=MSDASQL;" & _
"Driver={Microsoft ODBC for Oracle}; " & _

View 3 RepliesCall Event When Program Closes?
Jul 2, 2011I'm looking for a more elegant way to work around a problem I have
Code:
Private Sub MnuCheckForUpdates_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MnuCheckForUpdates.Click
Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(mStartUpPath & "" & "Updater.exe")
Process.Start(startInfo)
End Sub
As you can see I�m calling my updater program, but I want some code to run only after the Updater has closed.My work around was to:
A - Initially load the updater.
B � Start a time
C � Check if the updater is still running.
D � If its not call the routine in the timer event.
But this is not elegant is there another way around this, I can call events in the updater but I don�t think I can join them in someway to ProcessStartInfo Class .
Program Closes But Still Runs In Processes?
Apr 8, 2011I have made a program that has an intro screen, moving onto an activity select screen which acts as the main interface to get around the program. After creating the program and installing it on my computer, when I close the program from the activity select screen, using the "X" at the top right corner, the program continues to run under "processes" in the task manager.If I close the program from the intro screen though, it will close everything, including the processes. Is there anyway I can get the same to happen with the game select screen? I can make it work by putting my own "End" button on the form, but id prefer to be able to do it with forms own close button.

View 14 RepliesExe Closes System.IO.StreamReader Kills Program?
Apr 24, 2011Ok, So I am making a front-end for a program, and it runs the exe with command line arguments. One of those arguments is creating a log file that tells me who the winner is. Currently I have code that runs the app, tell VB when it exits and then does another event. When testing with message box as the other event, works fine.
When running the System.IO.Streamreader the app just closes down on its own and there are no errors shown.

View 1 RepliesPossible To Make Program 'self-destruct' (delete Itself) When It Closes?
Sep 30, 2010Does anybody know if it's possible to make your program 'self-destruct' (delete itself) when it closes? I know this sounds like malware, but it's not. What happens is the user clicks 'install', the application copies itself to another directory, then the application starts the new copied file, with an argument that begins the installation, kills itself, and then the copied application restarts and then it's done. But I can't get rid of the original executable.

View 3 RepliesHow To Code This Voting And Storing Into An Array Program
Nov 29, 2010note, this is homework. It's not worth much, but i really need to learn how to store things in arrays. my biggest confusion is that i have no idea how to store something in an array, have the program run again andcontinuouslybuild the array andthen display the array in its current state (by like clicking a display poll button) and then still allow it to build more once more data is entered.Here's the whole assignment. I don't really understand how to start it and the problem above is my biggest frustration!ite a Visual Basic application that can be used to determine the best Super Bowl commercial. The choices are as follows: Budweiser, FedEx, E*Trade, and Pepsi. The application should allow for the user to enter a voter's name, gender and select a commercial from a list.
Create a Vote structure that will contain the voter's first name, last name, gender and the selected commercial. Each time a vote is entered, the information should be added to an array of Vote structures.Provide the ability to save your data to a sequential access file. The program should also be able to read an existing file of vote data into an your array of Vote structures. Doing so, should eliminate any data that may have already been in the array.
VS 2010 : Storing Data In Txt File For Program Use?
Jun 22, 2011In the program I'm working on, there is a 'sign-in' form that pops up for the user to enter first name, last name, and DOB. What I want to do is STORE that information in a text file for FUTURE use by the program (i.e. displaying a list of all previous users of the program).I already know how to use streamwriter to write text to a file, but I would like for the text file to be stored within the program files and also for a new user's data to be appended to that file every time.
Do I simply add the text file to the project files? When I do that, its path is 'My Documents'. How will that affect the program when I publish it? I guess I just don't yet understand what happens when the program is finished and published. The code for the 'Submit' button on the sign-in form is pasted below. At the bottom, I've put a comment to indicate where I want to store the data to a file.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim TxtBox() As String = {TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text, TextBox3.Text}
