I want to develop a dongle for my software. but I dont know anything about writing code to any pendrive's boot sector or making pendrive as dongle. I also want to get some help about how to read the data from the prepapred dongle from my software,that is i want to know how to link the dongle with my software. The s/w I have developed is a windows application in .net with C# please help if anyone can. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how you intended to make a dongle out of a pendrive. Very simplified, a dongle is a piece of hardware that your software sends a serialnumber to. this serialnumber is compared to a value stored in a PROM in the dongle. The result is then sent to the program which is compared with the expected result. This whole process is done with hashing and encryption/decryption in both directions so that you can't find out the stored value in any easy way. On a pendrive you can easily copy all of the content and thereby duplicate as many "dongles" as you need.
