• Visual Basic Ngenning and protecting the code in an image

  I'm writing some code that I want to be secure. I have stored data that I need to be uber secure. It's not a problem to encrypt the data. But the problem is to protect the code that manages the secure data. If I use reflector to dissemble my code, the dissassembly is magnificent and everything is right there. Using a c++ dll is not a solution because I need to call clr functions and once I've done that, the code is wide open to disassembly. Ngenned code is supposed to be dissassemable. But ngenning leaves the original image around, I suppose to activate the code that is placed in the GAC by Ngenning. Microsoft uses ngenned assemblies in their products. VS2005 is installed and then ngenned. But they don't leave disassembable im ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Get Coordinates onclick

  I'm fairly new to javascript, and, as such, I have what I feel like should be a simple question. I want to get the coordinates (either pixel x, y or latitude, longitude will do) of where the user clicks on the map. I want to place push pins where they click, and, ultimately, I want to allow a connect the dots type drawing where the user simply clicks and a line is connected from where he previously clicked. I was hoping this could be raised as an event, but it doesn't look like it. Thanks in advance. Hi, I thought you might find this useful to get your coodinates. I used the following function triggered by the 'onmousemove' event in my <div> element to output the coordinates in the status bar. If you change the 'onmousemo ...Show All

• .NET Development Merging custom config files

  I am loading a custom configuration file at runtime using ConfigurationManager.OpenMappedExeConfiguration. I would like to be able to specify a MachineConfigFilename as well as the ExeConfiguration filename. This is so my client can create a "machine" config with most of the fixed settings and then specify a custom config at the command line. I know that when using a normal app.config settings from machine.config get effectively "merged" - with potentially app.config overriding some. Is it possible to achieve a similar behaviour using OpenMappedExeConfiguration or OpenMappedMachineConfiguration I've tried both but can't seem to get the "merge" to happen... Hi Can anyone ...Show All

• Windows Forms Dialog buttons cut off when different monitor is used and resolution lowered.

  I've created dialogs with buttons on them (using Visual Studio 2005 designer) on my machine and when I change the resolution to 800x600 all is fine. Everything shows up as it should.

• Visual C# multithreading

  I need to do multithreading. It is my fist attempt. It failed. This is the setup: There is a form with tabControl and a few pages. There is a progress bar on one of them. It is supposed to measure progress of file downloading. WIthout multhithreading it is dead while the files are downloaded and then in the end it jumps to 100%. This is what I did. Everything compiled but the progress never was activated even after the downloading was over. In other words my code actually made the things worse. In the main form I put in this code at the start of procedure that is handling the download: ThreadStart threadDelegate = new ThreadStart ( Work.DoWork ); Thread newThread = new Thread ( threadDelegate ); newThread.Start ( ); T ...Show All

• Windows Forms One or more errors encountered while loading the designer

  Hi, I was working on a simple Winforms C# project. I created a few of TableAdapters using the designer and attached them to datagridviews on my form. After realizing that i did not want one of the tables I went to the XSD designer and deleted it. After that the project still excutes ok but the form designer is unable to display the form in design view I get the following error: One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes. Clicking on each error will take you to the line of code that caused it.   I am not looking for a response to this problem (creating prototype, kicking the ti ...Show All

I have encountered a problem, whereby I have 2 tables, 1 containing the header (header_id, header_file, admin_menu_id and admin_submenu_id) and then I have another table called header_details, where I am storing the language details for this header, with the fields being (header_details_id, fk_header_id, header_alt, header_caption and fk_language_id) Now I want to create a stored proc, first to insert the header and then the header details.

• Visual Basic can Serial device data be transmit to web_page.aspx directly?

  Hi there, Please help me. I have a serial WiFi device connected to a barcode scanner. Is it possible to create a "web_page.aspx" which can "talk" to the serial device to transmit the captured data to the "web_page.aspx" It's something like this... Barcode scanner (connected to serial WiFi device) --> [Transmit data via WiFi] --> "web_page.aspx" Previously i've used HyperTerminal (HT) to try out the connection. HT uses TCP/IP to connect to the serial device and the transmittion of data is possible. If it is possilbe to replace HyperTerminal with web_page.aspx, how can i do it That's pretty unusual.
