    I see why most c programs can easily be hacked :P

    if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

    I would say, that is not a very valid argument. Any program can be easily hacked if the programer doesn't take the needed counter messures

    M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

      That is correct, but i think it's an addition to my comment not a rework :)

      if(this.signature != "") { MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature); } else { MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found"); }

        No mate. It isn't 'old' C++ or any kind of C++. Printf is C.

            I'm not so sure - ever tried hacking Ada? You have to break Ada to make it hackable (With unchecked_conversion)!

                        Well, sure. But if some geezer is going to go on a MS site and waffle about printf he needs to be accurate. Incidentally, gcc natively does c. Typically I've had to add g++ for c++, so they are distinct.
