I was thinking of IP address, but people can change those easily.
What else is there that can't be changed? And where do i access it?

I don't see it T_T
I saw something for win xp product key, but i don't think that would be so great.

you can try this
string s = new managementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceID=\"c:\"".Properties["VolumeSerialNumber"].Value.ToString()
need to import system.management class
you can google for better options

Oh yeah? That Volume Serial Number is the same between machines if the machine was cloned. Which is a very common technique of deploying lots of machines in mass quantities. Every machine will have the same VSN as the source machine it was cloned from.
I've even a utility, a while back, that let you set the VSN to any number you wanted. So, even if you reformatted the hard drive and got a different VSN, you could always reset it to something else.
Basically, there is no one piece of information that is guaranteed unique from machine to machine in every environment. Even the Machine SID can be the same as another machine (again, if cloned!), if it's not in a domain environment.

As Dave already said, the volume serial number can be easily changed by software because it is just a identifier for the partition and not connected to the physical drive.
There is no truly unique ID, but a good starting point is the MAC address of the network adapter - only few network cards support changing it by software, and you cannot have to machines with the same MAC on a network.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah. What about processor id?
Hmm, infact, if i just use weird stuff to identify the machine, they won't know what to change. Haha.
Oh and this isn't for software activation or anything, its for this online thing, when somebody gets banned, i need them to STAY banned.
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, then what about different users utilizing the same computer? And if someone gets banned, can't they simply switch machines to regain access?
Is this per-machine scheme really the best idea?

i am working with c# 2005 windows application.i referenced COM components and i need to debug the com components with .net
Can u please let me know quickly as i am unable to make a step where ia m getting error.

You cannot debug COM componenets in .NET. If you really want to debug, then you need to debug it in unmanaged environment. Say by using visual interdev and visual basic IDE.

in your references add remove microsoft.directx
than add reference of microsoft.directx where version is not 2.0
OR
remove microsoft.directx.direct3d from your references
this error come because directx 2.0 have directx , directx.direct3d, directx.direct3dx, are included in same file
so you have a choice to either remove latest directx or the older other references

Hi all,
I'm having a horrible time trying to get text in opengl. I'm using the simpleOpenGlControl that comes with the TAO package and for some reason that means I cannot use the glutBitmapCharacter or glutBitmapString functions. I already posted on this, but I take it no one else has had the same problem as I had no replies.
Does anyone know of a way to eaisily render fonts in opengl? I've scoured the web and cannot find anything that works. There are various pieces of code out there, but none of them actually work. The closest I've come is the NeHe & Redbook tutorials, but I just cannot get my head around them. This is really driving me nuts. Please help.

It appears that the problem seems to be with Tao.FreeGlut and the simpleOpenGlControl. Whenever any function is called from Glut, the applcation crashes. Does anyone else know of this issue?

Hi, is there a way to make a form unclickable?
The idea is that when I show a form(Form2), I wont be able to click on another form (Form1)..
|
|
|
|
|
just call the showDialog() method of the form instead of show().
Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

I'm trying hard to create a way to automate user administration on sharepoint and I got around to produce the following.
SPSite site = new SPSite("http://sharepoint/klantgegevens/" + groupname);
SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb();
SPMember member = null;
SPUser user = null;
bool found = false;
found = SharepointGroupExists(groupname);
for (int index = 0; index < web.Users.Count; index++)
{
if (web.Users[index].IsSiteAdmin)
{
member = web.Users[index];
user = web.Users[index];
break;
}
}
if (!found)
{
web.SiteGroups.Add(groupname,member, user, "");
}
But there's an exception coming from the web.SiteGroups.Add(..); call. It says Value does not fall in the expected range. Can anybody tell me where I could find more information on this call, especially some information on the exceptions it can throw.

Problem solved for now. Hardcoded the Administrator user as the default user instead of determining it dynamically.
