I have not looked into the event log, but only used the Visual Studio logging method. As I mentioned before the VS log got me no where. I will try the event log this time and hope it proves more informative. Thanks for the advice.

You could try a re-install of VS, which may resolve it. I don't know of any published methods of debugging, but if you report the problem to Microsoft they may have some suggestions.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Thanks for the feedback. This thought has indeed entered my mind. I may do this if nothing else works.

I know Microsoft get a bad press sometimes, but I had a Visual Studio problem a couple of years ago and found the response from them to be very good.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I will sure will try that. This may be a silly question, but can you link me to where I can inform MS of my frustration? Not sure if I should post it at their forums or is there a separate place that handles these type of issues?

Mine was specific to C++, but if you start here[^] you may be able to find a useful link, or at least, someone in Microsoft who can help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Use a Mutex[^] to check if instances of your app are already running. If not, you can execute your code.
|
|
|
|
|
It depends what you mean by first time. If you mean first time among a number of concurrent executions, then use a mutex as suggested by Shameel. If you mean first time among consecutive executions or first time ever, then you probably need to add a flag to your app.config or to the registry.

..to setup the environment for your app? How about using an installer?

If I get you correctly, you are talking about windows application. If yes, there is a simple approach
Unlike c#, which has a entry point "static void Main()"
VB.NET has no such stuff.
The simple trick is to add a form which you make it invisible. Write your start up code in the form load event and at the end, open your main form.
Right click Projects, go to Properties, change your startup form with invisible form you made.
Hope this helps.
cheers

Hello,
I am currently making a Login System. But I wanted this option to be there that it checks for the bytes to be the same on runtime. (For potential crackers)
I tried a lot but I don't seem to find the problem.
This is just a small example code:
Public Shared Function ByteEqual
Dim first1 As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(My.Resources.LoginSystem)
Dim second1 As Byte() = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes(My.Resources.LoginSystem)
If first1.Length = second1.Length Then
MessageBox.Show("True")
Else
MessageBox.Show("False")
End If
End Function
This is working but I want the "My.Resources.Loginsystem" to be a certain class in my project. Is this possible without injecting?

..my first vector of attack would be using ILSpy or reflector, identifying the method that returns "true" on a successful login. What does "the same runtime" mean?
Calculate a hash over your bytes. When distributing, distribute the hash along. Calculate a new hash when you "fetch" your bytes - it should return the same value as the hash you already calculated and distributed. If there's no match, the bytes have been modified.

Sorry, I meant to say whenever someone executes the application and I hard-coded my login system into a class.
Let's say they reflected it and adjusted some property's with Reflector.
I want the application to detect this, whenever the user made any adjustments in the ASSEMBLY.
The function I posted works but I don't want to grab my class out of My.Resources. I want it to be in the project files itself.

Like I said, generate a hash. You can Google for info how it works, or wait until somebody posts a relevant link or code.

..I suggest you take the time to research the topic and understand what you're doing. You can access the documentation[^] on your phone, and it includes a sample.

how to send sms to mobile number useing ASP.NET code
|
|
|
|
|
Using a Gateway. I suggest you search a provider that turns emails into SMS, as it's the easiest interface.

Sending SMS to mobile is very simple.
Two ways to send sms.
1. Using any SMS gateway Service Provider. They will provide you [http post url] with querystring value. You need to generate the querystring value like to_mobile, message etc. The Gatewy will return a httpresponse Success/Fail along with other details.
2. Using Smpp Server
The Short Message Peer-to-Peer (SMPP) protocol is a telecommunications industry protocol for exchanging SMS messages between SMS peer entities such as short message service centers and/or External Short Messaging Entities.
Hope this helps.
cheers
