• Visual C++ Verifying the digital signature of a file

  Hi, I'm trying to code a program to verify the digital signature of several exe, dll,... files. The problem is that I don't have the certificate nor signature that is applied to those files, and neither I know if I need them . I've been looking to microsoft msdn CryptoAPI, but I could not get nothing clear out of the examples. I suppose that I need to: - extract somehow the signature or certificate from the loaded (BYTE*) file (don't know how) - obtain a key from that certificate - generate a hash value with CryptCreateHash and maybe later call CryptHashData - and finally call CryptVerifySignature praying for succes... Any clues or full sou ...Show All

• SQL Server Equivalent to Shift+Enter in Management Studio result grid cell?

  Is there a way to insert a line break into a cell when view table in Management Studio In Enterprise Management it was Shift+Enter, but that doesn't work in SQL 2005. For example, we have a column that contains address format, so we need to have multi line data (line break). When viewing data alredy in the table in a grid view using query, line breaks are not visible, but if switched to text view, the line breaks are visible. Programaticly or using some copy+past action this is not a problem, but when entering test data using just management studio this becomes a problem. Any ideas Thank you, Goran ...Show All

• Visual C# command prompt return immediately when running console application

  By default, a console C# app will hold the command-prompt until the app exits. Is there a setting in the .NET framework that will cause the command-prompt to return immediately This is sort of analogous to running a command in the background in unix by appending & to the command. Hi. The responsables of doing that are the shell and the OS not the C# language or the .Net framework. The OS because it must support Multitaksing (ms-dos does not) and the shell because it must do some system calls, ex fork (not exists in ms-dos) and exec, in order to provide that functionality. Regards. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question on ClickOnce

  I have finished designing my first VB app (VB2005) and I am going to deploy it to a network share using ClickOnce. I have read the documentation and several of the posts on it but I am still a little nervous have some questions. First, do I have to have a certificate or a key file in order to do updates My security person believes it isn't necessary since it is on our local network. Second, once I deploy with ClickOnce, if I find serious mistakes or want to change where I deploy to, and need a clean start from the beginning, can I just delete the deployed files, reset to version 1.0.0.0 and choose a new deployment location if needed ...Show All

• Visual C# Books on C# language needed.

  Hi We have bought the following books from Microsoft press: Visual C# 2005 Step by step Visual C# 2005 The language (Core reference) The step by step was easy to read, with good examples, although seems to be aimed more towards beginners. Not our level. The language, was hard to read, difficult english, with "not that good examples"(trying to be polite). Its seems to be more on the right level for us though. So my question is, is there a book that you would recommend, that would be equivalent to "The language" in depth and level. But more following Microsoft standards and conventions, like step by step ...Show All
