(1) See the MSDN documentation on Uuidgen.exe fo learning how you can geneate a GU/UU/CLS ID. (2) Here is the code to put it in registry a. Create the key hierarchy using this code public void CheckRegistryKey(string sKeyname) { RegistryKey oRegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\" + sKeyname, true); if(oRegistryKey==null) { oRegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE", true); oRegistryKey.CreateSubKey(sKeyname); } } b. Set the string clsid value using this public void SetStringValue(string sKeyname, string sValueName, string sValue) { RegistryKey oRegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\" + sKeyname, true); if(oRegistryKey==null) { oRegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE", true); oRegistryKey.CreateSubKey(sKeyname); } oRegistryKey.SetValue(sValueName, sValue); }

Even writing the firewall will require a ton of marshalling and P/Invoking... C# and VB.NET are too high a level for the projects your coming up with. A firewall app would be better written in C++. Maybe not the entire app, but the filtering engine would definately be C++, maybe even Managed C++. You could write management interface for the engine in C# though.

In what language? C#? Not exactly the best choice, but it's possible (albeit much slower due to marshaling). If you want resources, a quick search for "BHO" on MSDN[^] would turn up the article, Browser Helper Objects: The Browser the Way You Want It[^]. If you want to do this in C#, you have to declare the IObjectWithSite interface at the very least. It would help to interop the shdocvw.dll library using tlbimp.exe. The basic concept is that you get the interface for the IWebBrowser (QueryInterface - or casting in .NET with COM interop), get the DWebBrowserEvents2 event interface (also interop'd if you're doing this in C#), and handle any number of events, like DownloadBegin. There's a number of events you could handle, and this will fire before downloading anything. Anything you see in a browser (web page, image, stylesheet, or other file to download) is actually downloaded to your machine. Several events will alert you when a download begins. Start with the article, and again I recommend you do not use C#. Even though it JIT compiles to native code, there's still a lot of marshaling required once loaded and JIT compiled. Go native - it's much easier and you won't have to be declaring interfaces, structs, consts, and P/Invoking functions as needed. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles__

Hi guys, I'm a 4th year IT Btech student at the technikon of Port Elizabeth in South Africa. I would like to create this application with the sole purpose of proving to my lecturers that i am capable of creating the application, so that i can pass the subject and get the neccesary credit to pass my final year. I assure you that there is no malicious intent what so ever behind the creation of this application, if you do not believe me, i will send you an email from one of my lecturers with the neccessary credentials to prove to you what i say is true. Besides, its not like i want to copy and steal credit card numbers... I want to create the application with the sole purpose of logging the url's a user visits and the files he downloads The end purpose of this application is to create various user profiles and to check what are the most popular sites visited and what are the most common files downloaded Any help would be very much appreciated From a student in need ...

Logically, you should look at the DateTime structure in the .NET Framework SDK, which has a static property called Now. If you further look at the documentation for ToString, the solution's quite obvious: textBox1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString("hh:mmtt"); Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

This is best done by using a Browser Helper Object (BHO). An old article on MSDN describing BHOs uses just the example you're looking for, except that instead of logging the URL it displays the content of the page when the document is done download. Read Browser Helper Objects: The Browser the Way You Want It[^]. If you need further help on this, please visit the VC++ forum here on CodeProject. You can write a BHO using C#, but you need to declare a lot of interop'd interfaces and perform a lot of marshaling. Sorry to say, based on how you phrased your question you may have more problems with this. Besides, when you're hooking a majority of the events on DWebBrowserEvents2, you need to be quick. Managed code can be faster than native code, but when a lot of marshaling is involved, you'll find that performance is quite a bit slower. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

BHO's will work only with IE and Windows Explorer. They will not work with Netscape Navigator, or Mozilla, ... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome
