Code for creating trial version of software created in VB.Net 2005? [modified]

I have created a windows application in VB.Net 2005 using SQL SERVER as backend.

Now before delivering its setup to client I have to create its trial version of 30 days and 60 days.

How to do this ?

Also my setup should be installed only on one computer.

I mean my setup copy should be used for one time only.

I know how to deploy the project i.e. I can create a simple setup of my project.

Well, first of all you are talking of a windows application and not a web application. We got that, no issues.

What you are trying is a Licensing kinda feature. There are different ways to achieve:
1) encrypted license files that contains the expiry dates etc.
2) encrypted license keys held in the registry
3) challenge/response mechanism which require an internet connection
4) probably others.......

Try: License Key Generation[^] or: How can I create a Product Key for my C# App[^] or: c# Licensing[^]

Also,
Cryptography 101 for the .NET Framework[^]

This part is little tricky. Probably there can be other ways for this, to me one thing looks good is something like, completing the registration online on your site. This would give you power to activate the application completely only once.

You can't create a Windows app in ASP.NET. ASP.NET is a technology for producing web applications, it is not a language. Please understand the tools, technology and terms, and use them appropriately when posting a question. You will get better results.

Hi,

1.
there is a utility WSDL.EXE that converts WSDL files into a class file, a proxy class for the remote service. I read the utility is part of Visual Studio (not Express Edition!), it is also part of the .NET SDK download.

2.
There have been a couple of articles/tips on consuming short URL services lately.

and this is the error on the page:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>

Anonymous usser URL access testing issues

jboyd11124-Sep-10 11:04

jboyd111

24-Sep-10 11:04

I've written a simple web app to test the URLs of our various internal applications to ensure none would allow anonymous login access. I thought all was working fine until another developer mentioned that one of the URLs should be accessible to anonymous users.
We use Active directory logins/passwords and membership in order to provide/restrict access to certain pages and applications.
When set to default credentials, I get no errors.
When I set my network credentials to some made-up user, I get 401 errors, as expected for all URLs. For the URL in question that's accessible to internal anonymous (i.e. not logged-into-this-particular-app) users, I get the "401 access denied" message as well.

Here are the main parts of the code:

<br />
NetworkCredential networkCredential = new NetworkCredential("stan", "abc123");<br />
                    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.SomeTestURLHere.com/default.aspx");<br />
<br />
                    CookieContainer cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();<br />
                    request.CookieContainer = cookieContainer; <br />
<br />
                    request.Credentials = networkCredential;<br />
   <br />
                    using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())<br />
                    using (Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream())<br />
                    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream))<br />
{ <br />
// do work<br />
}<br />
<br />

This is all contained within a try-catch-finally block. With default credentials, I fall through into the "do work" section of the code.
With the network credentials I set above, I get the "401" exception, which I would NOT expect for this particular URL since it's supposed to allow anonymous user access.

So my question is: why am I getting the 401 message for this page?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

It does allow it if you come in from a web browser like internet explorer.
This is within a company network so no one from outside can access the site, of course.
The issue is you can log out of or into this particular internal site. When you log out of it you can still access this one page.
When I try this using ASP.NET (HttpWebRequest) I get the error.

Perhaps someone can answer this question: By setting my own "NetworkCredential" am I being looked at like I'm trying to access the internal page as though I'm an external user?

Here's a brief update after poking around a bit. I notice I get different behavior when I set "NetworkCredential" to my valid username and password then when I use "CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials".

When I use "NetworkCredential", I can now access the URLs that allow "anonymous" access. But I now geet "401" errors with all other URLs.

In short:
a. Using "CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials" gives me access to all URLs
b. Using "NetworkCredential" (with correct username and password) gives me access to URLs allowing "anonymous" access.

Question: why do these behave differntly?

Getting gridview to rebind inside of a modalpopup control

Aptiva Dave24-Sep-10 8:58

24-Sep-10 8:58

Currently I have a modalpopup control that contains a gridview control. In the gridview i have a templatefield column that contains a link button control that, when pressed, runs a jquery impromptu function so I can ask the user if they are sure they want to perform the function. On yes, the javascript function calls a web method that updates the database and displays a message that it is successful.

That is the easy part, but now I am stuck trying to get the gridview to rebind and then reopen the modalpopup. I have been trying to use javascript to get the gridview to rebind to the datasource, but $.find('<%=Gridview.ClientID %>'); keeps returning a null value. Anybody got any ideas?

I guess you could use callbacks for this. After the web service call, does the data associated to the grid change? If not you need not even do a post-back and cause the popup to close. You could have the GridView inside an UpdatePanel with appropriate <asp:trigger>. If the links are part of the GridView, you could use OnClientClick event of the links to call the web service without post-backs.

If you want to cause a post-back for some reason, I believe you could use the BehaviorID of the modal popup extender to show in on pageLoad()

Problem with http handlers

24-Sep-10 5:59

Hi.
Im building a web application in win xp using iis5 and visual studio 2008.

i've created a custom handler(with no extension) in the following manner :

1. created a class that implements IHttpHandler.
2. registerd it in web.config in the httphandlers section like follows :
<\add verb="*" path="/GetData" type="WebSiteLogic.GetDataHandler"/>.

Now, when i run the app using Visual Studio server and works fine.
But when i deploy it to use with my local iis server or choose in VS to use my iis local server it wont recognize the handler.

Can somebody point me out what im missing?

Thanks.

With IIS 5, you need to tell it to use this handler - it won't pick this up from the web.config file. It's been so long I can't remeber how exactly, but go to admin tools and open the IIS managemetn console, and poke around in there for your applciation's properties. I vaguely remember a "Settings.." button in the "General" (or "Home"?) tab that brought up the dialog where you set this sort of thing, but as as I say...

You need to escape such strings, so replace ' with ''. That is 'test'ing' becomes 'test''ing'.
