- I would like to use computer BIOS and possibly HD. - I use like to be able to use the trial either by 'days' or 'uses' (if possible) - Once either of the above expire the reg screen will be locked except for a REGISTER button. - The ability to edit the above 'days' or 'uses' . - Use my own encrptyion keys - a KEY generator to UNLOCk the APPS

I have read many posts here and other forums. At this point I am willing to pay a FEE for someone to complete it. At that point I would be able to attach it to my program and tweak it. Please let me know if you are interested and I can send you more details. Thanks for the quick response.

I was hoping someone can help me. I am new to VB.NET and just finished my first "project" I would like to know if someone would create a .NET APP to LOCK my program, let the user have a trial, then MUST register. I really don't need super security. I would of course pay for someone's services. I would like to be able to "re-use" the code for other APP's in the future. Please e-mail me with any questions. Thanks

OK, I was able to get it to work by starting a NEW project and reloading the code. I thought however that with this code, once form1 started textbox1.text would be loaded with the data in the test.txt file. That is not happening. I have to click into the textbox1.text box then click on the form, after a few seconds, it loads test.txt Thanks for any help!!

I added Imports System.IO to the VERY TOP of the code

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this code? I keep getting a streamreader error. I have added 'Imports System.IO' at the top of the code to import the streamreader class Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load End Sub Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged 'read test.txt Dim streamtodisplay As streamreader streamtodisplay = New streamreader("c:\test.txt") TextBox1.Text = streamtodisplay.readtoend streamtodisplay.close() TextBox1.Select(0, 0) End Sub

Found a good source I found a great source for protecting .NET apps without much effort. http://www.exeshield.com The program is $80.00 but it seems well worth it. I just made the purchase.

Good Question I was wondering the same thing. I am not using the VB.net for deployment. I will use my own setup program. Thanks

Registration I would like to Protect it from illegal distribution.

Can anyone point me in the right direction. I just finished my first APP and I would like to add some type of registration to the APP to protect it. I would like to create my own code instead of 3rd party software. I cannot seem to find anything in my books are even how to begin starting! Thanks

I cannot seem to find anyhwere in the create & deploy application help file to add a "desktop icon" once the solution has been built. Thanks for any help!

Worked Great!! Thanks for the code. It worked great!!

I was wondering, is it possible to highlight & copy text to the clipboard from within textbox1.text using my button2 all in one step. I am using the " Clipboard.SetDataObject(TextBox1.SelectedText)" command within my button2 properties, but I still have to highlight the text.

Thank you That worked. I don't understand why I keep having problems with the elseif tag. I truly appreciate the help.

this is where I'm at I wrote this code into the button1 field If RadioButton1.Checked = True Then TextBox1.Text = ("box1") If RadioButton2.Checked = True Then TextBox1.Text = ("box2") If RadioButton3.Checked = True Then TextBox1.Text = ("box3") I am trying to get the sub routine to work with this

I am working a project where I need 3 radio boxes radiobox1 (Happy) radiobox2 (sad) radiobox3 (angry) when radiobox1(happy) is clicked and generate (button1) pressed it generates a random number, based on that number a HAPPY sentence will be displayed in textbox1.text If radiobox2 (sad) button1 will generate a SAD sentence. like wise for radiobox3 (angry) This is what I have under each radiobox ' Randomize control for radiobox1 Randomize() Dim A As Integer A = Int(Rnd() * 5) + 1 If A = 1 Then TextBox1.Text = "happy 1" If A = 2 Then TextBox1.Text = "Happy 2" If A = 3 Then TextBox1.Text = "Happy 3" If A = 4 Then TextBox1.Text = "Happy 4" If A = 5 Then TextBox1.Text = "Happy 5" ' End Randomize control The same applies for radiobox2 & 3 except that the sentence is either angry or sad. Here is where I am stuck. I cannot firgure how to get button1 (Generate) to start the process. I am new to vb.net and have 2 books, I have tried different things including if, elseif. I am just brain dead.

Thanks for all of the input. As wyrd described it, I am trying to limit the amount of digits & ensure that all of the inputs are numbers for validating and so there is NO mistake of reversing a zero for the letter OH Simple mistakes can screw everything up!!!! I will give the expamles a try tonight and let you know. Once again thanks for everyones help. :)

I am trying to make sure a textbox that will response to numbers ONLY and limited to 10 digits. This is what I have, It allows for 10 numbers or letters before the button is enabled: 'make sure textbox4.text is a 10 digit number Dim length As Integer Dim string2 As String string2 = TextBox4.Text length = string2.Length If length < 10 Then Button2.Enabled = False If length > 10 Then Button2.Enabled = False If length = 10 Then Button2.Enabled = True Thanks for any help

I got it. . . . . Thanks Thanks for the super fast feedback. I found the answer. I needed to goto PROJECT then: Add REFERENCE, Microsoft Internet Control, SELECT I guess I did that at some time on the other form without knowing it.

Opening Explorer . . . Newbie I am trying to use this code below, on one form project it works but on another I am getting a debug error 'SHDocVw.InternetExplorer' is not defined. ' Open Internet explorer with no link bar Dim shIE shIE = New SHDocVw.InternetExplorer() With shIE .AddressBar = False .FullScreen = False .MenuBar = False .Resizable = True .StatusBar = False .TheaterMode = False .ToolBar = Convert.ToInt32(False) .Height = 550 .Width = 800 .Top = 0 .Left = 0 .Visible = True Call .Navigate(LinkLabel1.Tag) End With ' END Internet explorer with no link bar
