Yes, Internet activation via web services...

Okay, what is US Patents 6.173.403, 6.044.471, and 6.785.825 all about?

Sorry, didn't mention it's a dll accessable with unmanaged code.

Our company has a web service based licensing product that needs tested. The product is added to any .NET project and allows trial days, licensing (purchase, refund, transfer, etc...) all without seller intervention. The license is based on the end users computer hardware serial numbers, etc... to disallow multi-installs (piracy). The seller has full control to extend trial days or add/remove licensing if needed. Any takers?

Q. Do you copyright your source code? It bothers me to have to mail my secret source code to a copyright attorney or U.S. copyright office. I'm not comfortable with anyone seeing all my hard work. Who can you trust? I'm asking because it seems to me very difficult to prove or disprove if my source code is being used, whole or in part, by another program. A software thief would be smart enough to not copy a Windows App in its entirety because it would look identical to the original. However, a small DLL copy or clone and rename would probably pass the public eye unnoticably. I fully understand book copyrighting because the text is public and easily compared to another authors text. Plagiarism much more easily detected and proved or disproved. But software source code is something hidden from public eye. There's no way I could know if someone has cut-n-paste my source code into thiers. On the other hand, I can also understand that copyrighting may be a good 'extra care measure' to protect the 'what if' cases of source code theft. Q. What is your honest opinion about source code copyrights.

No didn't work for me either. Be sure your workstation is: a. Windows XP Pro (sp 2) b. VS2005 .NET c. .NET 2.0 So far I'm using the GetHostByAddress method, although I recieve a 'yellow' warning during the compile, it does still compile and not halt in error like the Resolve method does now since .NET 2.0. The program will open and run as usual. However, I would like a flawless code like before the .Resolve obsolecsence. string hostname = System.Net.Dns.GetHostByAddress(IPAddress.Parse(entry)).HostName;

I can type an IP address and receive Internet domain name and my workstation name however no other IPs of computers on our internal network will resolve to a thier machine name only to the same IP that is entered. What's up Microsoft???? I can say that before we switched over .NET 1.1 to 2.0 the Dns.Resolve(entry); would find a name for any IP, LAN or WAN. Q. Any ideas?????????? [This is new .NET 2.0 method that replaced the former .Resolve method] private void LookupIP(string entry) { try { IPHostEntry IP = Dns.GetHostEntry(entry); txtBox2.Text = IP.HostName; } catch(Exception exception) {

Q. How do you start 2 or more other classes to threading from a single Form1?? I tried this code on Form1 (Form1_Load) but if failed... objClass1 = new Class1(); objClass1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(StartMoveKing)); // also objClass2 = new Class2(); objClass2 = Thread(new ThreadStart(StartMoveQueen));

Okay, my project is almost finished and this seems to be the last bug. My error is on line 613 during the last 'while' code. It seems that garbage collection has 'dumped' my initial 'hash' instance??? I then get the error message "Object reference not set to an instance of ans object."! Q. How do I fix the code to eliminate the error??? try { while((line = reader.ReadLine()) != null) { string [] tmp = line.Split('\t'); if(tmp.Length == 2) { if(!hash.Contains(tmp[0])) { hash.Add(tmp[0], tmp[1]); } listBox1.Items.Add(tmp[0] + "\t" + tmp[1]); } } } finally { reader.Close(); } while(myReader2.Read()) { if (! hash.ContainsKey(str_col_DestIP.Trim())) { string strDestDns = "Use Other..."; } else { string str = (hash[1].ToString()); // line 613 }

I like the coding. I have an error in my code that says: "Index was outside the bounds of the array" All I changed was using(StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(MyFile.txt")); ????????????????

I've searched all my books and the Internet and cannot find a good example to read a text file into a hashtable. My text file is tab delimited as such below)and I need to load them into a hashtable as a DNS cashe...... Help......... 123.123.123.123 www.mywebsite.com 111.222.333.444 www.nowebsite.com

I'm inserting data into a text log file. I need to delete only certain lines of data, generally from line 50 to the end (EOF). I then need to write data to the same file starting at line 50. Q. How do I delete certain lines of data??? Q. How do I delete from a certain line of data the EOF??? Q. How do I start writing at a specific line???

Excellent, clean and simple coding. I like it so far... The more I study windows DNS, I realize my goal is to create my own 'hosts' file. I can write to it and IPHostEntry can read from it instead of the 'hashtable' you've so kindly shared. Q. How can I create my own 'hosts' file in place of the 'hashtable' example??? Thank You.....

Here is one of the coolest few lines of code to perform a NSLookUp. Simply enter an IP in textBox1, click a button and the domain name translates in textBox2 (providing your workstation is on a WAN. Q. How could we build a 'cache' to capture redundant IP's/Domain's to add lookup performance??? Q. How could we add our own know IP's/Domain's to this 'cache' ??? (Because NOT every IP will resolve) Preferably the code would check our personal 'cache' first before looking on the Internet or elsewhere..... public void ButtonLookupDomain_Click(object sender, EventArgs ea) { IPHostEntry IP = Dns.Resolve(textBox1.Text); txtBox2.Text = IP.HostName; }

That corrected the error and the hyperlink to the web site 'lookup' works great, thanks........ Q. How do I get an 'Underline' to appear in a listView colum?? As it is, any value in the column will hyperlink accordingly, however a user doesn't have a visual indicator that the values are actual hyperlinks....

Does anyone know if its possible to hyperlink a ListView column in windows forms, not ASP??? I've found many articles on ASP, however I cannot find anything on Windows forms........ I would like to click on an IP in datacolumn that opens a web page (whois) at arin.net like: http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput=120.210.120.100 I tried this code in the Listview click event handler System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( "http://ws.arin.net/cgi-bin/whois.pl?queryinput= " & ListView1.SelectedItems(0).Text) However, I receive the following error message when compiling in VS.NET C# and 'SelectedItems' is underlined........... 'System.Windows.Forms.ListView.SelectedItems' denotes a 'property' where a 'method' was expected Helpppppppppppppppppppppp

Yes, this particular Regex matches numbers between < >. For instance <14>, however only PRE is written to the database........
