Just reformulating your question, to verify that I've understood the question. You want to embed some UserID-marker in your excutable/class library, before it gets downloaded and installed?

Thanks in advance !!

My original suggestion would be to read the MAC-address once you're on the client, and send that back, but that's private information of the customer, and in some countries you'd need the clients' consent to do so. That's one option down.
Another approach would be to compile a personalized version, build and create a setup, prior to downloading. That would mean that there's a delay in the download, and possibly a rather huge load on your webserver. That's two options down.
Perhaps you can download an addendum after the first install? That wouldn't delay the initial download, and you could easily compile a small classlibrary. The application shouldn't be able to run without this library, and it should be signed (to prevent tampering).
Perhaps you can even delay the compiling and the building; if you were to download the sourcecode for your custom key-classlibrary, you could compile once it's downloaded. That would make it harder to sign that classlib, but would remove the compilingprocess from your server and onto the client-machine.
I hope that someone can give some idea's that are more efficient/easier to implement

First of all thanks for your time

How will I do that? Suppose user click on download and I generate the userID as U123. Now how do i embed it with that exe, and I need to use the same from exe to call my web service and database based on userID.
Please help.
Thanks!

I've never done this, but have seen something similar in ASP.NET. You can catch the moment that someone wants to download a file. First, you'd have to encrypt the string and embed it in your sourcecode. The WebApp can only compile your application if it has access to the source-code of what it's supposed to compile. That's why I suggested that you put it in a classlibrary, besides the applications' executable.
The steps involved would be something like this;
- Generate a key, crypt it, and add the key to the DB as "taken".
- Write the source for a dll that returns this key on demand
When you start your executable;
- Check if your classlibrary is in place, if not:
- Start the download of the class-library (from code, or manual)
- The WebApp gets requested to download a file, compiles the classlib with the embedded string and push the generated file.
I'll try to build a small prototype to do this thing, might take a while

Eddy, one question
Eddy Vluggen wrote: compiles the classlib with the embedded string and push the generated file.
How will I get that string? If in-between of that one more request come then what happen?

Well, that's the string that's unique for the download. You can base that on the browser-information, or you might want to use a query-string variable to set it. You should be able to trackback this information to previously entered registration-details.
In other words, in that place you'd typically want the reference to the user that's currently logged in

How about creating a GUID and putting it into a config file that then gets downloaded with the application? Or are you trying to implement some kind of licensing scheme?

Hi,
I want to develop cards game (.jpg,.jpeg) using C#. Please let me know is C# is a better way to do it. If any one have sample source code which loads one main image in a background and other card images as per the logic on that will help.
Thnks

There's a cards.dll on your machine that contains a deck that you only need to shuffle. C# and VB.NET are both viable choice's, pick the one that you're experienced with. The links below use the cards.dll, instead of jpg images.
There's a card-game starterkit on MSDN. You can download the C# version here[^], or the VB.NET version here[^]. There are also some good examples on CodeProject and a cool C# tutorial can be found here[^].
Good luck and Happy programming

So far I can get all computers in an active directory:
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" + thisDomain.Name);
DirectorySearcher mySearcher = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
mySearcher.Filter = ("(objectClass=computer)");
foreach (SearchResult resEnt in mySearcher.FindAll())
{
MessagBox.Show(resEnt.GetDirectoryEntry().Name.ToString() );
}
And I can get all Organizaitonal units:
DirectorySearcher mySearcher2 = new DirectorySearcher(entry);
mySearcher2.Filter = ("(objectClass=organizationalUnit )");
foreach (SearchResult resEnt2 in mySearcher2.FindAll())
{
MessageBox.Show( resEnt2.GetDirectoryEntry().Name.ToString());
}
Now how can I get a computer and its organizational unit? Any suggestions?

not sure, here is an "algorithm":

Hi
I have listed and then started all the exe files.As and when the exe starts a log file should be maintained which will contain the start time of the exe.So i used the following code.It gives" NullException Object reference not set to an instance of an object" for the following line
stw1.WriteLine("UdpServer at port 10000 has started at:", start1.ToString());
if (cb.Checked)
{
n1 = lb4.Text;
si1 = new ProcessStartInfo(n1);
proc = Process.Start(si1);
proclist.Add(proc);
DateTime start1 = proc.StartTime;
if (!File.Exists("startlog1.txt"))
{
stw1 = new StreamWriter("startlog1.txt");
}
else
{
File.AppendText("startlog1.txt");
}
stw1.WriteLine("UdpServer at port 10000 has started at:", start1.ToString());
stw1.WriteLine("=======================================================================");
stw1.Flush();
}
if (cb1.Checked)
{
n2 = lb5.Text;
ProcessStartInfo si2 = new ProcessStartInfo(n2);
proc = Process.Start(si2);
proclist.Add(proc);
DateTime start2 = proc.StartTime;
if (!File.Exists("startlog2.txt"))
{
stw2 = new StreamWriter("startlog2.txt");
}
else
{
File.AppendText("startlog2.txt");
}
stw2.WriteLine("UdpServer at port 10001 has started at:", start2.ToString());
stw2.WriteLine("=======================================================================");
stw2.Flush();
}

Hi,
how many ways are there for stw1.WriteLine("UdpServer...", start1.ToString()); to cause a NullReferenceException? has each of the relevant objects been assigned a value for all possible ways to reach this statement?

Hi
Im not able to get you.Can you please explain me how i can write the start time of the corresponding servers to a text file?

Hi,
you have the code to do that, however it contains a minor mistake.
I gave you the logic steps to pinpoint the mistake.
if this is your code, you will have no trouble fixing it.
if it is not, you probably won't understand the code, hence be unable to fix it.
