Thanks for reply! But from you reply I understand that I can't create RAW socket under regular user account. But this is exactly what I need, because I've a laptop and I don't care about administrators, but when someone other uses the computer(logged as guest or some other user without administration rights) I want to block some internet pages or ports. I know that I can use some programs or firewalls but I want to do it by myself. And about the raw socket, I run the code on same machine(Vista SP1) but once compiled with VS 2008 and then with VS 2005 so I'm really confused about this issue. Anyway any ideas how to do packet filter? Thanks!

It's not going to happen if you run it under Windows. It's that simple. You need to run the code under a full admin account, or it's not going to work.

In order to get VS 2005 to work under Vista, you had to run it as an admin, otherwise it doesn't work very good.

Thanks for information! So I tried to do a service for this issue (using system account) and I'm able to read incoming packets. I'm able to get IP address from them and here comes the second issue. How to block/restrict/drop packets from specified IP? Is it possible to do it in C# or I must use C++ and how to accomplish it? Thanks.

Well, I hate to tell you this, but you're not intercepting anything. You're standing off to the side of the packet stream, watching them fly by.

You can't do what you want without writing a packet driver to stick into the network stack, which you can't do in C#. Well ... not nicely or efficiently anyway.

If you want to see what it takes to do this, look at these[^] open source firewall projects.

C# Winforms GPS Mapping?

Hi All,

A quick question regarding mapping? I supply a free app to our customers for downloading GPS data from a handheld. What i have is an array of long/lat positions. What i would like to do is plot that information inside the Windows application... I've had a look at Google Maps / Live Maps API and altho they look good, they look like their supposed to be used on a website... not a winform app?

My question to you guys is what would be the propper / ideal technology to use to acheive this?

Many many thanks!
Will

You could simply iterate the string. You can use IndexOf method to search for desired characters and Split method to break the sentence into words.

The need to optimize rises from a bad design.

You could try investigating something like this:

string mytext = "hello code project";
string[] words = mytext.Split(' ');
int wordcount = words.Length;
int numberOfInterestingCharacters;
//
foreach (string word in words) {
   numberOfInterestingCharacters = word.Split('e').Length - 1;
}

There are three 'e' characters
There is one 'e' in each word.

I really don't see the need to write software to do the counting in that situation. If you did it with .Net 3.5, you'd need to ship your 30k program and the 305mb runtime installer. Let's talk about overkill.
