There is no way to "guarantee" that you are getting "the real date". Take a step back; what if your code runs in a VM? How would you know? How would you verify that today isn't Christmasday 1999?
The worst part of copy-protection schemes is that they piss of real users; would you invalidate my copy when Europe hits summer-time?

Certainly not but what would you do if a computer does not have the internet connection ?

Boss, I am talking about local system not remote system.
Five local systems connected with LAN without any internet connection. What would you do in that ?

Trust the datetime returned by the normal system-calls.

As the name suggests; you can get hardware-dongles like these[^] that offer "more" protection than a standard date-time call.
Or, alternatively, a clock[^].
There's no software solution to the problem of getting the "real current date".

Yes Boss you are right. But in our area, a user won't pay for that. They want Cheapest price but feature full software.  Boss you cannot understand in which environment we have to work...
Our users want....
a. Cheapest price
b. Software with extended feature
c. Development support (Any time they can tell us to develop a new module within a short period)
d. No renewal
e. If system crashes, data recovery
and many more....... you cannot believe

You can write the last "known datetime" to a textfile, and check that when you start your app; if your last previous start was "in the future", compared to today, you'll know that the clock has been turned back. Or that the battery of the internal clock died, either one.
That's also easy to circumvent if one wants to copy the app illegaly - so the question is rather if the users "need" this.

In fact, I have a system running well for nearly five years.
Is provided to the client an encrypted file for activation and with license information, which contains the current date (validated by our services). In the process of software installation, this file is copied to the client system.
Whenever the application starts up, this date in the license file is compared with the data from the local system. If the local system date is older than the date recorded in the license file, this indicates that the user manipulated the date (or the BIOS battery is over).
In such case, the application will inform the user of this and will automatically terminate. Even in this case the current system date is recorded in the file whenever it is greater than data recorded previously.
In any situation, you should call on our helpdesk services for assessment.
The system is working very well for the needs. So far, no complaints from customers.
Just trying to help.

This strikes me as an adequate solution, won't guarantee a hacker won't break it but obviously works well for a real world solution. There are probably a limited number ofpeople who would bother breaking some reasonable encryption (we use to add 127 to each character in the early 90s and it worked fine).
I can't understand why Dave didn't suggest this 120 posts ago!

It's the TAB key, not the Enter key. The Enter key is expected to cause the same effects as a click on the OK button.
Make sure that the TabIndex property of your TextBoxes matches their expected order.

You need to specify what you're writing the UI in. Is it WPF? Windows Forms? ASP.NET WebForms? Something else?

Hello everybody,
I've been struggeling with a Regex for hours now, and I hope someone of you can help me out of this. I'm trying to capture a "Number" section and a "Text" section from a string like
124[HT][HT]In the year 1560, there was ...[CR][HT][HT]somethingt strange going on.[CR][CR]125[HT][HT]The same pattern followed hour after hour. I've been trying dozens of different ways in Expresso, but nothing seems to work out.
(?<Nummer>\d+)\t+(?<Text>.*(?=\r{2,}))Mostly I get results having the first number in the proper section, but the complete rest of the string in only one "Text" section. What's my stupid error here? Somehow I'm lost in a maze now.
Thank you for your time!
Mick

This seems to work for your example input:
(?<number>\d+)\t+(?<text>[^\r\n]+((\r\n|\r|\n)\t+[^\r\n]+)*)
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Thank you for your great help, Richard - I guess my major misunderstanding was that I interpreted the [CR] as \r only, and not as \r\n? Nevertheless, it seems to work on the original, too.
Have a nice evening,
Mick

rs.Open "select PDATE,plan,NAME,PQNTY from purch where pdate >=" & DTPicker1.Value & " and pdate<=" & DTPicker2.Value & " order by name,pdate ", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
what Wrong in above ?
in this command rs # 0 ?
rs.Open "select PDATE,plan,NAME,PQNTY from purch order by name,pdate", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
rs.Filter = "pdate>=" & DTPicker1.Value & " and pdate<=" & DTPicker2.Value
what Difference

Please do not post the same question multiple times like this. If you need to add extra information you can edit the original. As to your actual problem, it is not clear what you are asking.
Use the best guess

Could you delete your two other questions that is exactly simular?

if i use this :-
rs.Open "select PDATE,plan,NAME,PQNTY from purch where pdate>=" & DTPicker1.Value & " and pdate<=" & DTPicker2.Value & " order by name,pdate", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
no any record found and rs = 0 but if i use this
rs.Open "select PDATE,plan,NAME,PQNTY from purch order by name,pdate ", cn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
rs.Filter = "pdate>=" & DTPicker1.Value & " and pdate<=" & DTPicker2.Value
then get records in rs, Why above side command not run.

Drop the string concatenation garbage for building this SQL statement and use parameterized queries instead. They will escape and translate your DateTime values properly. You don't mention what database you're using but what you've written really doesn't work for any database I know of.
And this looks like VB6 code. Why on earth anyone doing is still doing new VB6 developement in this day is beyond me. VB6 is long since dead.

Hi guys,
I've read articles about; "Sending and receiving data from RS232 or USB ports" or, "Using vb.net to switch on/off electrical devices", but conversely in my case I want to just using a simple electrical switch to do something in my vb.net application (via RS232 or USB port). For example; if user pushed an electrical switch button which is connected to the RS232 or USB port, then simply a text same as "Pushed" appear in my application's text box.
Briefly, could we connect an electrical switch without any circuit or board to USB port to do something simple in our application?
Any suggestion or experience?
Thanks.
