I am converting an old VC++ app to C#. I had two builds for this program: 1) an Eval version; and 2) a registered version. The way I had this setup it required 2 separate programs to be built. The eval version expired after 30 days had passed by storing an encoded timestamp in the registry of when it was installed so it could tell when the expiration date had elapsed and disable the software. So now in the .NET world, where folks seem to be shying away from using the registry (not necessarily a bad thing!), where is the best place to do something like this? In the metadata, or in assembly attributes, etc. ?? I'd rather not use the registry if there is a more appropriate, politically correct place to put this. Basically I don't want the user to be able to go in and fiddle with it. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roy

I don't think there is anything wrong with using the registry. Personally I put this stuff in the registry, and again in a file I hide somewhere outside my app dir. That way, the user needs to change both locations, or I can tell there has been tampering.

I have an old VC++ app that I am converting to C# as an exercise. It, like many other VC++ apps I have written over the years, uses INI files to store configuration information. I have found some classes written by some generous folks on this site that manage INI files, but am wondering if it isn't time to move this concept to something more approproiate for the .NET platform. I've been researching *.config files and was wondering if this is/should be the equivalent of INI files?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roy

Microsoft have moved back to supporting .ini files, but to make it seem all futuristic and new, they recommend they be in XML. The idea of the entire app being in one directory is pretty heavily pushed and any text file to store config info in the same directory as the app will fulfil that.

Thanks for your reply. Everything you say makes sense and goes along with my thinking. XML is the way to go, especially with all of the XML support in .NET, C#, etc. And quite frankly, I've long been ready for the one app/one directory approach. It makes moving applications really easy, just like back in the old DOS days...

Yes thats the case, and you can use values from these files to add "dynamic" properties to the app.
Took me 6 months to figure that out!

I need to implement an applicaion "Monitor" for a transaction processing system (written in 100% c#).
I'm hoping to be able to generate an interface along the lines of Quest's SPOTLIGHT (on Oracle). http://www.quest.com/solutions/Spot_on_Oracle_screenshot.html[^]
I'm going to want to display some memory usage, some logging, as well as the lengthof some queues in memory.
I really like the "scrolling" graphs in Spotlight, as well as the TaskManager's Performaqnce tab.
Anyone have any suggestions for architecture, and/or some cool charting controls?

I'm trying to re-implement a project that I have previously written in C++ using ATL.
Basically, I want to implement a COM object using C# which is hosted inside a Windows Service. I have the COM object and the Window Service both implemented in the same C# project. I cant figure out how in .NET to specify that all instances of the object should be created remotely in the single Window service. I've seen how this can be done using Remoting however I'm wondering if they is any other alternative that will work from non .NET clients? Using ATL there was a way to register the COM class objects so that a single server process was used as the host. Is this effect possible with .NET?

Hi,
I want to extend the standard TreeView so it will have custom expand/collapse images (the plus and minus).
I have already looked into the Carlos Perez UtilityLibrary where he added support for custom checkbox images. What he doeas is simply sending the appropriate messages WinApi tree control. But I haven't found in reference any way to change the the collapse images the same way.
Any one knows how I can do this or any one did this already and could spare few lines of code?
Best Regards,
Szymon Kobalczyk.

Hi (and hi to the C# message board!)
When dragging a control onto a form, how can I change the name it gets? e.g. using "tvProject" instead of "treeView1" ?
Currently I do a search&replace - but that seems counterproductive to me...

Hi there,
Can somebody give some example applications for the following:
I have an IIS ASP.NET application running. I need to have a small console application triggered by scheduled task invoke some object (class object) in the ASP.NET application.
Thanks in advance...

Look into using SOAP. e.g
I have used this in the past for my ASP.NET applications, its very elegant.
P.S. you can run the scheduled event on the server using the System.Timers namespace instead of through a console app on a remote machine (of course it depends are your specific business requirements)

Check out Dotnet Remoting .
You can also download a sample chapter from his book too.

Hi.
I am a C++ and MFC programmer. I have been forced to code a simple C# program at school. Frankly, I feel threaten. Secondly, I find C# confused. Everything is "Win Form." Where the heck are all the code behind the program?
Anyways, I am desperately in need of help. Here is the basic program.
Buttons = 2
Edit boxes = 3
Listbox = 1
The idea is to enter information in one the three edit boxes and then click a button to add it to a list box.
Right now I want to add multicolumns to the listbox.
Please post if you have experience with C# and can point out all the shortcuts. This is a very simple introductory program.
Thanks,
Kuphryn

use the System.Windows.Forms.ListBox class
Handle the "Add" button's Click event. your code for adding would look something like
ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem();
lvi.Text = edit1.Text;
lvi.SubItems.Add(edit2.Text);
lvi.SubItems.Add(edit3.Text);
listView1.Items.Add(lvi);
Make sure listView1.View is set to View.Details
P.S. if you want to see how the Windows Forms work, use the MSIL disassembler (ildasm.exe).
