Hello to everybody
I have C# project and when somebody delete project's exe(project.exe) I dont wanted to be deleted.
Can I do project.exe's visible false when when somebody trying to delete ?
Or can I give MessageBox("you cannot delete exe") when somebody trying to delete ?
It looks like triggers (instead of delete triggers etc.).

This makes no sense. You are deleting the file but do not want it deleted?
Solution is to not delete the file.

Even if it is deleted, then you can recover it from recycle bin.. So not to worry

if I shift-delete ? what will happen ?

Better way you should use Windows + R > cmd 'Enter' > FORMAT D: .... Its better then Shift+Delete

is there a way to make its visible false ?

Sure you can do that but there is no point. The only reason that someone would "hide" the exe would be if they are writing malicious software.

But I want to learn how to do in C# too.
I solved it's logic but I can't do with codes in C#

That makes no sense at all.

[no name] 3-Aug-12 9:53am

yes it will make sense a little :)
sure not so important but I want to learn

Learn what? Nothing you have said makes any sense at all. I realize the English may not be your native language but your question and comments do not make any sense.

Actually, no it doesn't make any sense.

If you're asking how to prevent the .EXE file from being deleted, you don't do anythis at all. Default security configuration prevents normal users from doing ANYTHING at all, including deleting files, to anything under Program Files or it's subfolders.

Solution 3

You own the software ..not the user's computer..So let the user decide whether to keep your program or delete it..You should not force him to keep your software. The user can file a law suit against you if he is unable to delete your program.

The only way to accomplish this is to have a second program that monitors "project.exe". In Windows, you can't delete an executable that's running, and if it isn't running it can't do anything. There are no events sent to a program upon it's deletion because it isn't running, so there is no place to send events to.

But even if you wrote a second program, it's a trivial task to stop that one from running and delete it anyways. What you're asking for is simply too impractical for any normal use (the only place I've seen similar behavior is malware, so you'll have to excuse me if I won't go into any more details).
