Hi all,
I have an exe which i want to register as windows service programatically in a C# project. This exe is in a folder on the system. 
Any help on this........

have you tried srvany.exe
i think it's available from MS or on the resource kits
If you actually want to modify the source code for your exe, there are a few articles on the web that deal with this, there are problems with debugging a service though, although work arounds are available.

i have an mdi form containing a child form. When a button is clicked, a child form is shown. When the same button is clicked again, a new instance of the same form then appears again --> 2 of the same form appear at the same time. Is there any way that i can check for the child form's existence and show it if an instance of its is already generated?
Thank you so much.

By the way, here's my code:
private frmMcStock mcStock;
private void tscmdMcStock_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (mcStock == null)
{
mcStock = new frmMcStock();
mcStock.MdiParent = this;
mcStock.Show();
}
else
{
mcStock.Focus();
}
}

You can simply have a class member variable where you store the instance of the child form. Next time you click the button, check if the variable is null. Something like
class MainForm
{
Form childForm;
public void CreateForm()
{
if (childForm == null)
childForm = new ChildForm();
else
childForm.Focus();
}
}

OH... How could i forget about .Focus()  Must be 'cuz of the flu. I kept trying to use .Show() instead and nothing happened. Thank you so much...

Another problem occured. When i close the opened child form, i cannot re-open it by clicking the same button. It seems like the child form is not disposed. Here's my code:
private frmMcStock mcStock;
private void tscmdMcStock_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (mcStock == null)
{
mcStock = new frmMcStock();
mcStock.MdiParent = this;
mcStock.Show();
}
else
{
mcStock.Focus();
}
}

Hi
I need to convert a ushort[] to byte[].
if this was C I wouldn't be asking but I wonder how to do this most efficient (new array + for) in C#
Gilad.
Ofcource the other way around is a must...
|
|
|
|
|
Try the Array.Copy method:
byte[] newArray = new byte[original.Length];
Array.Copy(original, newArray, original.Length);
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|
|
|
|
|
|
In what way didn't I read the question correctly?
I tried it, and the result is that it can't be copied that way. The probable reason is that you might lose data as an ushort can not safely be converted to a byte.
Copying a byte array to a ushort array works fine, though.
You have to loop through the array yourself and convert each value, and handle possible data loss in the conversion. One way is to simply use the lower eight bits of the value and discard the higher eight bits.
---
b { font-weight: normal; }
|

I guess this is the only way...
If I have an array of ushort[] and I want to "cast" (not copy) it into an array of byte[] then how do I do this:
ushort[] A = new ushort[10]
byte[] B;
unsafe{
fixed(A){
// ??? //
}
}
now I would like to access the first byte of the first (MSB) ushort in the array through B. what do i need to do after the "fixed" statment ?
thanks.
Gilad.

Just like C, you cant cast to a "fixedsized" array. So you either have ushort[] and go to byte* or have byte[] and go to ushort*. Two array references cannot manage an array differently.
ushort[] A = new ushort[10];
unsafe{
fixed(ushort* a = A){
byte* b = (byte*) a;
for (int i = 0; i < A.Length*2; i++)
{
process(b[i]);
}
}}

Hi,
I just found (and disapointed a bit) that after developing a huge app i used "Lutz Roeder's Reflector" to watch my app hierarchy just for fun and realised that all the source code was in the Disassembler panel, just the way i writed it, including private methods, i mean all!. Hey! What if my app is commercial software? then i'm giving it for free (the whole source code included).
Is there a way to protect my code from being watch, crack or reverse engineered? I'm kind of lost.
Thanx a LOT!

C# applications have this problem of transparent code. You can try using an Obfuscator (one is supplied with Visual Studio itself) but it will solve the problem only partially. As of today, there does not appear to be a perfect solution for this problem. While you can make it more difficult for others to see your code or to reverse engineer it, but unfortuately there does not appear to be a perfect solution which could stop it absolutely.

Ashok Dhamija

Whow! It seems like a huge bug in the C# specification.
1) Whose this bug: C# or .NET Framework?
2) Does this happens in VB. NET?
3) Does this happens in C++ (native, not .NET)
4) Is C# 2.0 going to solve this issue?
Thanx for your comment Ashok.
I've got a lot of .NET commercial apps, i'll rip and steal lots of hard to write code....hehehe, no just kiding, i could but i wont. I disagree with ilegal stuff, that's why i posted this thread.
Anyone else has something to say about this issue?

It is not a bug but a deliberate design because the .NET applications are not compiled to native code but to the intermediate language code (called MSIL). This MSIL code is then compiled to the native code at the time when the user runs the program by using what is known as Just-in-time compilation. It is this MSIL code which is converted by "Lutz Roeder's Reflector" or ILDASM (supplied with Visual Studio) to show legible code.
Heinz Suez wrote:

This problem is with .NET framework, so the code written in VB .NET can also be seen in a similar manner.
Heinz Suez wrote:

No, it does not happen in C++ native code. But, C++ .NET will have the same problem.
Heinz Suez wrote:

In the Beta version available for C# 2.0 as of today, this problem exists. One does not know about the final C# 2.0 product but the chances are that this problem is not being solved even in that.
Hope it answers your question.

Ashok Dhamija

This is not a problem or a bug with either the C# language spec or the .NET Framework. It is an unfortunate side-effect of having some of the functionality that we enjoy in the .NET Framework, like Reflection.
This "problem" will not be fixed in the .NET Framework 2.0 either. You use use Obfuscators to make i tharder to read the dissassembled code, but this doesn't hide everything. Public methods, fields, and whatnot can't be obfuscated because, well, you can't change the names of these items without making the public items very confusing to use.
It's possible, with 3rd party tools, to compile the C# code to native code, but they also have their problems with portability, supportability, features that depend on reflection, and don't forget the cost of those tools.

It's not a bug, if you want the advantages of managed code (reflection, JIT, typesafe..), you need to generate code at a higher level than machine language and any such language is easier to disassemble.
Heinz Suez wrote:

Yes, all compilers that generate managed code will result in your "problem".
Heinz Suez wrote:

Native C++ compiler generates machine code. If you can disassemble machine code, then yes, there is a "problem" there too.
Heinz Suez wrote:

No.
Heinz Suez wrote:

If you have code that you don't want to be emitted in IL (and therefore disassembled), write that code in native C++ and use managed C++ to wrap it.

Known solution for your issue is already given by Ashok. Based on definision,
'Obfuscation refers to the deliberate act of nondestructively changing either the source code of a computer program or machine code when the program is in some compiled or binary form, so that it is not easy to understand or read'
So once you apply this techinics in your source, it is very tough to read or understnd the flow of source or ideas invloved in it. Because it will rename with non identifiable string.
You can have a look at the give url also. Hope this will give you some more ideas in Obfuscation.Obfuscation[^]

I have seen this so much it makes me sad. Do you really care if the person sees how you assign text to a Label? Hell NO! If you have propriety algorhytms, invest in a decent obfuscator/encrypter (not the crap u get for free), or hire a person that can code in C/C++, or learn yourself how to do it.
Now secondly, even if someone reconstructes the source code, if your application is so big, dont you think it will take quite a few man hours to figure it out, learn what the code does? I doubt anyone will bother, would be easier just to buy the application.

Ok, thanx to all for your answer....ok, ok, i understand, it's not a problem it's a feature. But that feature makes my commercial projects in open source projects. I'll try to obsfucate my code or try native C++.

I just want to make it clear that there is no way, whatsoever, to completely protect your code from being reverse engineered. If code can be executed, it can be reversed. It does not matter whether it's written in .NET, native C++, VB, COBOL, or any other language.
I know it's a rather sobering fact, but it's one that all developers of commercial software need to realize. What you should do is worry less about this and try to focus on realistic security goals. You can't stop reverse engineering, but you can make it as boring and annoying as possible. Go ahead and use obfuscators/encryptors/packers, but make sure that they do not negatively affect the user experience. Test your app thoroughly after being protected. If you provide a trial or demo of your app, do no include full functionality. I don't mean disable some functions here. I mean don't include them at all. Disabled code can be enabled again. Finally, if you have some licensing or registration scheme, accept that pirates will be able to reverse it and shoot for simply trying to keep your users honest. If you are ambitious and have a significant amount of time, have your licensing use strong encryption implemented correctly. You can also use things like watermarks to track pirated copies of your software.
Basically, what you ask is impossible, but do your best and don't panic.

Hai,
I am having following queries regarding to C#.Please clear my Queries
1) Is C# fully dependendent of DotNet. With out dotnet C# don't have any existance?
2)Without using dotnet frame work's compiler can we compile a C# program.Any other compiler is there to compile a C# program.
3) Can we write stand alone programs in C# and compile?
4)Can we develop any application using C# alone in notepad editor and without using dotnet(including dotnet frame work)
5) What is the compiler compiles C# program in dotnet frame work?
Please give me a clear view in this.
Thank You,
Rahul.P.Menon.

As i know, C# runs in other frameworks rather MS .NET like: Mono, GTK#. C# is framework dependant (i think that's why we call it managed code, there's a lot of undercode, correct me if i'm wrong).If you have one of the above frameworks you can surely write apps in notepad.
That's all i can say for now (not too much).
