C# Discussion Boards - CodeProject

27-Sep-06 1:53

I am working on a C# project. I have already completed the project but now I am looking for something like:

1.. Customer start the software and he will be asked to register on my site which uses a optin newsletter script. It will then store the member information into the mysql db.

2.. My software will then check if the member is registered.. if so it will then store his computer hardware id next to his email address in the database.

3.. Everytime the software will check the user details. this way he cannot share his copy of the software with the other.

4.. Also another point is if this customer is unsubscribed from my list he wont be able to use my software.

I am looking for something like below but I dont know how to do: Can you please tell me how do I do it in C# ?????????????

I have a software and I want to do....

1.. If Customer start the software and he will be asked to register on my site which uses a optin newsletter script. It will then store the member information into the mysql db.

2.. My software will then check if the member is registered.. if so it will then store his computer hardware id next to his email address in the database.

3.. Everytime the software will check the user details. this way he cannot share his copy of the software with the other.

4.. Also another point is if this customer is unsubscribed from my list he wont be able to use my software.

I only know that this can be done with a PHP interaction but dont know how to interact with PHP i.e. sending information to php from software and getting output from php to this software.

Hi all,
I have created an application in C#.
The application will be distributed to many users.
Some new features will be added later to the app.
Now i want to create a functionality that will be like
Whenever the app starts, it will first check on the server for
files with new version and should replace the existing with new version files. I want the app to automatically download the new dll's and replace the existing ones with these new ones.

Any reference or link or sample code in this regard will be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

That seems to be some product.
I don't have to use external products.
Is there any feature in .Net for this.
Or some customized code?

Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

If the app is 2.0 based you can use Click-Once. Otherwise look at the Updater Application Block from Microsoft's Patterns & Practices group.

Hi,
Using csharp and the .net farmework i could run a thread like this and update the UI such as a label.
example :

Thread mythread = new Thread(new Threadstart(myfunction));
mythread.Start();

void myfunction()
{
lblstatus.text = DoWork();
}

Now using this same code which works in vS 1.1 dont wanna update the UI label in net 2.0 Why ??
Frown | :(

What do u mean? throws an exception, hangs?

From what i know, you should never use a non UI thread to update the UI, it causes it to deadlock.

No, it does not even get an exception, nothing of that sort and it does not even hang. emmm

It's not safe to access UI controls from threads other than the one they were created on. It mostly results in a freezing UI or other strange things. You're lucky nothing of this happened in your case. As there are many other people like you who weren't aware of this problem and accessed UI controls from other threads, it's no longer allowed. Use Invoke or BeginInvoke to update your label. This article[^] should help you.
