After many hours of battling with others sample code and sifting through countless message board posts I believe I have managed to come up with a fairly functional and stable encryption and decryption class that utilises multiple encryption methods.
The code is shown below and a sample call would look something like
Dim Crypto As New Crypto(Crypto.Providers.DES)
Dim Encrypted as string = Crypto.Encrypt("Test String", "Keystring")
Dim Decrypted as string = Crypto.Decrypt(Encrypted , "Keystring")
‘Crypto class
Imports System.Security.Cryptography
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
'SymmCrypto is a wrapper of System.Security.Cryptography.SymmetricAlgorithm classes
'and simplifies the interface. It supports customized SymmetricAlgorithm as well.
'Original Code from Frank Fang
'Revised by Jerome Howard to remove Bad Data errors, create seperate CryptoIV and
'use the maximum legal keysize for each encryption algorithm
Public Class Crypto
'256 Bit IV Key that is truncated when a smaller keys are required
Private bytIV() As Byte = _
{12, 241, 10, 21, 90, 74, 11, 39, 9, 91, 45, 78, 189, 211, 133, 62, 121, 22, 101, 34, 90, 74, 121, 39, 93, 9, 45, 78, 1, 211, 33, 162}
'Supported .Net intrinsic SymmetricAlgorithm classes.
Public Enum Providers

End Enum
Private _CryptoService As SymmetricAlgorithm
'Constructor for using an intrinsic .Net SymmetricAlgorithm class.
Public Sub New(ByVal NetSelected As Providers)
Select Case NetSelected
Case Providers.DES
_CryptoService = New DESCryptoServiceProvider()
Case Providers.RC2
_CryptoService = New RC2CryptoServiceProvider()
Case Providers.Rijndael
_CryptoService = New RijndaelManaged()
End Select
End Sub
'Constructor for using a customized SymmetricAlgorithm class.
Public Sub New(ByVal ServiceProvider As SymmetricAlgorithm)
_CryptoService = ServiceProvider
End Sub
'Depending on the legal key size limitations of a specific CryptoService provider
'and length of the private key provided, padding the secret key with a character
'or triming it to meet the legal size of the algorithm.
Private Function GetLegalKey(ByVal Key As String) As Byte()
'key sizes are in bits
Dim sTemp As String
If (_CryptoService.LegalKeySizes.Length > 0) Then
Dim maxSize As Integer = _CryptoService.LegalKeySizes(0).MaxSize

ReDim Preserve bytIV((maxSize / 8) - 1)

Have a look at the article "Registry handling with .NET" by S Nishant in this site (www.codeproject.com/dotnet/csregistry01.asp).
The VB.NET equivalent is virtually identical.
Imports Microsoft.Win32.Registry
Imports Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim rKey As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
Dim rKey1 As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey
rKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine
rKey1 = rKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion")
ListBox1.Items.Add("RegisteredOwner :- " + rKey1.GetValue("RegisteredOwner"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("RegisteredOrganization :- " + rKey1.GetValue("RegisteredOrganization"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("ProductName :- " + rKey1.GetValue("ProductName"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("CSDVersion :- " + rKey1.GetValue("CSDVersion"))
ListBox1.Items.Add("SystemRoot :- " + rKey1.GetValue("SystemRoot"))
rKey1.Close()
End Sub

Heya - I also had a bit of trouble with the registry. I can modify it easy enough but I can't get it to refresh without restarting the computer. Is there some way to force Windows to reload the registry without restarting? 
Thanks

How do I display an mpeg or avi file on a form? Thanks for any help.
|
|
|
|

If this is for VB6, just use the 'Windows Media Player' ActiveX. To insert it in VB, go to the menu Project->Components, then select the 'Windows Media Player', then OK.
This will add a component that you can put on your form. Then, go through the properties of this component to load your movie.
Hope this helps !

is there a simple way to re-interpret the enter key as the tab key in dialogs?
in c++ there is a PreTranslateMsg() function which you can use to listen for an enter key-press, then resend the key-press as a tab key.. is there anything like this for vb?
thanks for any suggestions!
still a newb.. cut me some slack :P

use the KeyDown Event for each tab-enabled control. of course,this way, you have a lot of coding to do but it's the only way that i know

my VB6 application which calls and uses Excel works fine in Windows NT,2K and XP , but experiences problems when running on Windows 98. The system hangs and the message "System is dangerously low on resources" appear. I am assuming that this happen because Win98 does not have very secure Resource Management compared to NT based OS. Does anyone have any idea how to make my app work in Win98 ?

I'm trying to use drag & drop with a multiselection. I would like to copy the listview selected items on an other listview. I tried that :
<br />
Private Sub lstAllRole_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles lstAllRole.MouseDown<br />
lstAllRole.DoDragDrop(lstAllRole.SelectedItems, DragDropEffects.Copy)<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub lstRole_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles lstRole.DragEnter<br />
' If e.Data().GetDataPresent("System.Windows.Forms.ListView.ListViewItemCollection", False) Then<br />
If e.Data().GetDataPresent(lstAllRole.SelectedItems.GetType().ToString(), False) Then<br />
e.Effect() = DragDropEffects.Copy<br />
Else<br />
e.Effect() = DragDropEffects.None<br />
End If<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub lstRole_DragDrop(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles lstRole.DragDrop<br />
Dim obj As ListViewItem<br />
Dim objCol As Object<br />
<br />
<br />
For Each obj In e.Data.GetData(lstAllRole.SelectedItems.GetType().ToString(), False)<br />
lstRole.Items.Add(obj)<br />
Next<br />
End Sub<br />
The drag & drop works but not the copy. Does someone already do it ?
Thanks

Vipul,
You have now sent me three email messages asking how to do this. As I have previously pointed out, I do not reply to questions sent by email unless they relate to an article or code sample I have published.
You have posted the question to several different forums. If someone knows the answer, they will no doubt post a response. If you continue to email this question to me, I will report you for sending Spam.

Unfortunately Crystal Reports [^] has integrated with VS.NET. There is a lot of nice things about Crystal Reports, however they tend to have a lot of design flaw in previous versions of their software (e.g. 8.5).
