.Net Obfuscation - Or Smart Assembly VS Dotfuscation?
Apr 15, 2010
Im seriously looking into obfuscation for my ASP.net.Is there anyone here that obfuscates their code? if so what do you use? Im looking at 2 finalists in my research - SmartAssembly and Dotfuscator
So far all I have found is bad points about Dotfuscator - is there anyone here that can save this company's rep?So far they have been rude, their product is hard to use, the documentation is bad, and the support is poor not to mention that they are expensive!Is there anyone that can raise a voice to say "hey they arnt all that bad"?has anyone used Smart Assembly? they seem to be the way to go - but i dont know if its just advertising hype...
I need a develop a smart dropdown list for an inhouse application
Let assume, i have a dropdownlist with the following values:
ABC EDF XYZ A123 B456
Now when the user types A in the drpdownlist (we can type anything onthe dropdownlist, but we can superimpose a textbox on it), the dropdwn list should sort itself and show only ABC and A123.
I have recently discovered that I am affected by this bug http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71515.html
Well,at http://www.mail-archive.com/mono-bugs@lists.ximian.com/msg71529.html they say the work around is to create a global policy assembly and redirect the assemblies that way since it is not read from the web.config.
How do you actually do what they describe there? There is a huge documentation gap in that area with Mono.Also,I can't just recompile the assembly to use the new Mono assembly versions because the assembly is closed source.(but it does work with Mono.)
i was wondering if visual studio 2010 can be used as an assembly editor too????if yes where do i have to go to create a first blank page for an assembly project?
Before using any class in your website project/page we have to add it's assembly reference to our project. Right?
Now, when I am using SmtpClient class from System.Net assembly after adding the System.Net.Mail namespace in namespace node of application's web.config file but without adding assembly reference to the project, it still accepting and running the code. Why?
I enquired the machine's web.config file located at C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727CONFIG but didnt find assembly reference for System.Net there also.
So bit confused how it is working and where the assembly reference has been added and how?
I just want to create Shared Assembly and use that assembly in our application.I am using VS 2005.
Step 1
I am trying to build a dll.
Create class library project <TestDllHell>.
Under that project add CalculationArea.cs file.
[Code]....
Then TestDllHell.dll add into GAC successfully.
Now I want to use it in my Website project so did the following steps but unable to view that dll in .Net Reference List Box.
•I go for Run regedit to edit the Windows Registry.
•Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkAssemblyFolders key.
•Right click on the AssemblyFolders key, then select New > Key. Enter the name of your assembly (without the .dll extension).
•Double click on the key's (Default) value. The Edit String dialog will appear. Enter the full path of the folder where your assembly resides. Note that all assemblies in that folder will appear in the Visual Studio list.
•IMPORTANT! You must exit and restart Visual Studio to see your assembly in the Add Reference dialog.
My question is that
How can I get that dll in my add reference assembly List .Net section?
And if I modify that dll(TestDllHell.dll) then again register in GAC then version will be different,So how can I told my client application that which dll you choose?
I just downloaded AjaxControlToolkit and followed [URL] to install it. Then I tried to follow [URL] to learn how to use the toolkit. But no matter what I do I'm stuck at adding an Extender. I added a ScriptManager and a button to the page as instructed but when I click on the button, there is no smart tag ("Show Smart Tag" is disabled"). I thought it might be the button so I tried Calendar and all I get is the "Auto Format" smart tag.

My asp.net application send Invitation emails and conformation emails , i want to create one component that handle sending mails and be flexible to use HTML templates for the emails and this emails will contain links for invitation or confirmation can someone tell me how i can design this compoenet
so theoretically, i have multiple companies using my application, and each company has multiple users. Now data is stored in a sql database and certain parts of it are changed enough whereby it has to be "reselected" by every user after a specific amount of time. ill call this the "highly dynamic data." (I already sorted out the 'users by company' effeciently with a cluster index in the companyID column for the tables)
lets say that each session will "check" if it has to be updated every 15 seconds. How will it check? If someone submitted a change to the "highly dynamic data" in the sql database then they will also submit the "time of change" to an .xml database. Moreover, each session has a "last updated" session variable. The session that submitted the change will update his "last updated" session variable at the time of the sql update. However, all other sessions will have out dated "last updated" session variables. and every 15 seconds each session checks the xml database to see if their "last update" is current. If it is not current then it does the sql database update, else, it does nothing..is this a good mechanism for efficient updating? The goal is to keep the sql database as free as possible and reduce strain on the server?
edit: oh yeah, how would i implement the timing factor here? firstly, i assume the 15 second counter shouldnt be concurrent with all other users, otherwise the server would be a cluster-f*** every 15 seconds so how would i incorporate some randomness for each session?
I installed VS 08. and then installed Ajax extensions 1.0. I also downloaded ajax control toolkit and added to my toolbox. And I placed scriptmanager on the designer. Now when I am trying to add functionality to standard button via smart tag option. I see this option disabled. how can I enable it and have extenders in play.
I am running vs2010, added the ajax toolkit. I can get form control to drag onto forms and run (ie the editor) but cannot get calender extender to work. I manually added it to the code. set the target id. No calender when ran. But the smarttag will appear on the textbox with the only option of remove extender. Why are the smart tags not working. The show smart tag option is disabled on the right click context menu of the textbox.
If I have a asp.net site for desktop, what should I do to enable smart phones ?By mistake I added a / to the URL and I noticed that the desktop web site was simple, no buttons, just URL links set to a side.
I am working on a web app that displays customer orders.When the app runs in IE 8, some of my transaction ID and invoice numbers are getting converted into a graphic. When you hover of it, It says to "click here to call this Skype number in Namibia". In Firefox, it displays correctly.Here is a screen shot:This app is going to be used by external customers, so I don't have control over their browser settings. I need to programmatically prevent it, somehow.Is there any code I can put into my web form to prevent third party DLLs from doing this?Is this related to IE 8 or is something that Skype is doing?
I am using VS2008. When I tried to implement AJAX to my application, I couldn't get the smart tag for the Required Field Validator in the webform. I need it to implement 'ValidatorCalloutExtender' (AJAX) control in my application.
I am going to develop new application in asp.net .But I want to create business/data access layer in such a way that I can reuse it in any other interface (Smart Phones,php etc).how can I achieve this ?I need to create project architect according to that.
I mainly do C# ASP.NET projects in VS2010. Once you've put masterpages and other things in place, I find the design view pretty much goes grey and elements can't be selected. This isn't so bad except that sometimes you need to access the little 'smart tags' at the top right of controls to do things.
In particular I'm trying to do this with some telerik controls, though the issue isn't confined to them.
Anyone have a handy tip to access this functionality (or miraculously make design view work!) ?
PS. I read in a few places that Shift-Alt-F10 may help. I tried putting my cursor in the control's tag and using it, no luck. Also I clicked the little rectangle below design view to select the control and tried it again- no luck.
I am trying to create a smart search for a specific column in a database. the column is a short text (title of an article), so I am looking for a search that will ignores the order of the words, and mispelling mistakes. the search must returns the search results order by rellevance, and the seach is not in english, so the FREETEXT that search by meanning won't work here.
I created already a search SQL, but it is not wide range enough and won't except mispelling.
[Code]....
Even if there is a ready to use tool that doing so, it can be helpfull, although I am not sure that for such a simple text a tool is requiered.
