There is a problem using obfuscation and UI since one can iterate through all types and create instances of forms and controls. You can solve this by having all forms and controls inherit your own type (that inherits from UserControl or Form) and that type requires that some static flag was raised in the application or else... This way radomly generating types will just raise exceptions. Adding this just adds another small barrier for people trying to look at your code and does not solve the problem. Natza Mitzi

1.Yes. It is essentially the same as passing a value (a property is just syntactic sugar for a get and set method). Passing Values between Forms with C# and VB.NET examples[^] I have studied above topic but I do not have to pass values. 2. Page? Is this a web application? Its a windows based application. 3.The accessor levels of methods has nothing to do with security. If you want security you might want to look into areas such as CAS (Code Access Security). If someone wants to to call your method then they can do so quite easily using reflection. So, making something private, protected or internal has zero security associated with it. I did not knew about that.So Is this mean that I have to use CAS to improve security of my application. Please guide Thanks Regards THE SK

Hi, use a BackgroundWorker and show a dialog with progress bar and cancel button. It is the decent way to offer information and control to a user while doing a long operation. Don't bombard the user with lots of MessageBoxes, they are just annoying people. There are some excellent articles about the subject here on CodeProject. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

Encryption makes it "bigger". If it didn't, it would be relative easy to crack. A text that gets encrypted usually isn't the same size as the encrypted version. I are troll :)

You can probably encrypt the private key with something known as a master key. And then when needed, you can decrypt the key with the master key. There may be better techniques, but this is one i heard of. EDIT: A master key can be a simple password (which is to be stored in your brain :) ) ------------------------------------------- It's code that drives you - Shyam

The first column in a listview is always aligned to the left, regardless of what you set it to. There is no option to change this. If you want a centered first column, use a DataGridView instead.

I have the handle of that window to which i wanted to send the message. I have also found that the PostMessage API which has same parameters as that of SendMessage ,is working fine. Declared this above in code [DllImport("user32.dll",EnteryPoint="PostMessage"] public static extern bool PostMessage(int hwnd,int msg,int wparam,int lparam) [DllImport("user32.dll",EnteryPoint="SendMessage"] public static extern int SendMessage(int hwnd,int msg,int wparam,int lparam) I am transferribg same parameters to the PostMessage and SendMessage by declaring them public ,on two different button_click event on my form Button with a PostMessage is working fine.But button_click with SendMessage is not working at all.I am not getting any warning, error or runtime errror. Also found that WM_KILLFOCUS,WM_QUIT are not working on PostMessage.However WM_CLOSE ,WM_KEYDOWN,WM_KEYUP worked fine. I do not know whats wrong(sure not coding).Please suggest. And I also want to know whic among SendMessage and PostMessage is more reliable

hWnd is the handle of the window that you want to receive the message. This is explained in the MSDN sendmessage [^] docs. The message you want to send is probably WM_KEYDOWN and then WM_KEYUP. (You can find a full list of the messages and their numbers here[^]) Look here[^] for an explanation of the WM_KEYDOWN message, and what to put in the wParam and lParam parameters. You can use google to find a similar doc page for the WM_KEYUP message. Simon

You can't just append the character to the text? :confused:
