Thanks for detailed answer

After googling,i found that,if i add a batch file in my package with the following line

msiexec/x {Product ID} ,i exactly dont remember the switch,

after running the shortcut on client machine,it did install the program but it also showed DOS window due to execution of batch file
However,i was advised by mnay people that i shoudn`t add Uninstall Shortcut in start menu as this isn`t feasible,therefore i removed it now so that one can uninstall by going ot Add Remove Program applet

Thanks

Yes, the batch file approach is the quick and dirt way, but I don't like the DOS window appearing.

It's not that it is not feasible - you can do it using the technique I described. People say you should not add an Uninstall shortcut, not because it is not feasible, but rather because Microsoft Logo program says that you should not add an Uninstall shortcut.

Yet many Microsoft products doi exactly that, despite what they say.

Examples:

I just downloaded the most recent Platform SDK from Micrososft. It adds an Uninstall shortcut to the menu.

I downloaded the beta version of Microsoft's new Anti-Spyware application. It adss an Uninstall shortcut to the menu.

MSDE setup adds an Uninstall shortcut to the menu.

In short, unless you plan on having your setup Logo Certified, add an Uninstall shortcut if you want to and don't worry about people saying you "should not do that.

(And besides, what's the point of going through the hassles of getting Logo certified when most Microsoft setups don't even meet their own Logo requirements?)

Purpose Behind of calling DTS Pacakage is to create flat file containg records And again i have to use this file or read records and update my table.
Text file has got fix length.
So can we use DTS packkage Which can be useful to convert data from text file to database.If possible Provide code for the same.

Hi Guys and Gals!

Do controls, Panels for example, have a maximum size limit?
If so, what is the maximum width of a panel?

Thanks!

(0,0)You can set it's size as you want there is no minimum size for any control UNLESS you explicity define this in it's properties

Not minimum - maximum... When you try to set the maximum size (width, for example) of a control (a panel, for example) to a value that is over 32767 (signed int16), it is automatically set back to 32767.

Is there a way to set the width value of a panel to over 32767?

How can I add text/line on the video using C# AudioVideoPlayback?

Hi, All:

I play video using AudioVideoPlayback.Video in C#. I need to draw some markups on the video. How can I do this? I tried the following code. But once the function RenderToTexture() is called, I noticed several important properties (AverageTimePerFrame, etc.) in the video object is missing. Even after I work around this, the video shown in the event handler video_TextureReadyToRender() is corrupted and does not advance. I'm using DirectX (Feb 2005 Update). Please help.

Thank you.

<br />
private void LoadVideo()<br />
{<br />
    PictureBox box = new PictureBox();<br />
    Video video = new Video(video_path);<br />
<br />
    PresentParameters present_parameters = new PresentParameters();<br />
    present_parameters.Windowed = true;<br />
    present_parameters.DeviceWindow = box;<br />
    present_parameters.PresentFlag = PresentFlag.Video;<br />
    present_parameters.SwapEffect = SwapEffect.Flip;<br />
<br />
    Device graphics_device = new Device(0, DeviceType.Hardware, box,<br />
        CreateFlags.HardwareVertexProcessing, present_parameters);<br />
<br />
    video.RenderToTexture(graphics_device);<br />
    video.TextureReadyToRender +=<br />
        new TextureRenderEventHandler(video_TextureReadyToRender);<br />
<br />
    video.Play();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void video_TextureReadyToRender(object sender, <br />
TextureRenderEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
    e.Texture.Device.BeginScene();<br />
    // Draw text/lines<br />
    ....<br />
    e.Texture.Device.EndScene();<br />
    e.Texture.Device.Present();<br />
}<br />

Try DirectShow instead.

From what I've read, the AudioVideoPlayback is not designed for anything except simple playing of an existing file. And there are no plans to expand the few methods of the namespace.
I think what you want is DirectShow.

What should you do about what? You mentioned two things. (1) Saving the contents of a DataSet to a text file. And (2) reading the contents of the text file into a database.

1. is fairly trivial if you only have one table with no complex data (i.e. no binary data)

2. has the potential of being done directly in the database, but you may wish to have it run through your application instead so as to provide a consistent user interface where the user doesn't have to learn a database product in order to import the data.

Encryption - how do I store a password/key in my App?

Lakitu31-Mar-05 2:59

Hi all,

I'm working on a C# project and need to store sensitive data (things like authentication tokens for web services etc.). Because C# applications can easily be reverse-engineered I want to encrypt/obfuscate these values with one of the provided encryption classes. However, to decrpyt these values at runtime I need the key/initialization vector. These would need to be stored inside the application as well -> they're visible in a decompiler. That's some kind of "chicken and egg" problem, does anyone have a hint or solution for this?

Thanks

The normal solution to this problem is to store the hashed value of the password. When the user enters his/her password, the application hashes it and compares it with the stored hash value to see if they match.

But I don't want users to have to enter a password for two reasons:

1. A user shouldn't have to care about internal things
2. The user password (which equals the one hashed and put in the source) has to be given to each user

Microsoft provides the DPAPI, which provides additional encryption services for this purpose. See http://www.obviex.com/samples/dpapi.aspx[^] for an example.

If you are truely paranoid about it there are a few things you can do:

1) Write a C function that returns all of your information and compile it into a DLL. Use P/Invoke to retrieve the information. Make sure all of the string data you store in the DLL is encrypted. When you return it from the C function you can unencrypt it at that time. Store the keys in the DLL as a byte array not a string to prevent 'strings' processing.

2) Write a COM dll that does the same thing as 1

There are problems with this as well because anyone else can load the C function, or COM object and invoke the required methods.

There is also the question of hiding information from one customer to another. You could do a one-time key gen and store it on the client machine. This would prevent one customer from obtaining information that might be important to someone else if they got a hold of their data files.

Yet another approach would be to use an algorithmic key generation approach. This would involve using a complex sequence of steps that produce a static key. The key wouldn't embeded in the software, but the algorithm that generates the key would be in the code. This code then could be obfuscated adding another layer of protection (Protection being relative in this case).

Always remember that if a client has binaries on their machine, it's difficult to absolutely prevent them from getting a hold of important data. That being said, you can make it so difficult to obtain the information that it's not worth it.

Now for the security experts, security by obscurity is not a good option. All of the methods I have mentioned is security through obscurity. Normally when it comes to security you need to base on it something else, like 'things they have', 'things they know', etc...

Memmory mapping in .NET

Hi, I'm trying to have interprocess communication between two programs. The first one is written in C++ (embedded for PocketPC) and the latter in C# and .NET CE (for PocketPC). I want to use memmory mapped files for IPC.

In the C++ side I use the following API:
CreateFileMapping()
CreateMutex()
MapViewOfFile()
...

What can I do from the C# side in order to communicate properly?

Thank you,
