Validating an .exe file

When I distribute my .exe assembly, I want to make sure that users get
the correct file. When someone has meddled with the contents, I want the
program to quit with a message. Is there a way to set some kind of
checksum in the .exe itself so that the .exe auto-validates itself? I am
not sure if I express myself clearly

I am having some trouble validating XML using the XmlValidatingReader. I have created some xml and used the visual studio to generate the schema. So I am confident that the xml and schema match. The problem I am having is that the validation event fires for each node in the xml. It seems to be completely ignoring the schema that I have used. I'm wondering if I need to do something extra to tell the xml which schema to use.

Hi, I have a validating event on a textbox in which I want to prevent the user to leave the textbox without entering the right data. Only if he clicks on another specific control he is allowed to leave the textbox without entering the right information. Is there a way to determine which other control was clicked in the validating event of the textbox? Thanks

So after playing around with my code I figured out how to get it to work. I am not sure what the reason behind it is but it...

I have a form with a textbox and numerous panels, buttons and other controls. I have handled the textbox Validating and Validated events. The textbox will hold a filename. In the validating event, I check that the string in the textbox is a file that exists or whether or not the string is blank and display a message box in either case. I also call e.Cancel so that the value will be corrected. However, certain buttons on the form...

I am experiencing some strange behavior between a UserControl's validating event and a treeview control. Initially, I thought it was related to an issue in the Knowledgebase article 810852 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810852), but then I realized that the hotfix mentioned was in .Net v1.1, which I am using. I took the sample from that article and recreated the situation I see in my application. (Code included below.) If you run the...

I have an XML Schema file that I know is correct becuase I currently use it in a VB6 program to validate XML documents. Also, if I load an XML file into VS2005 that is not valid against this schema, I get XML errors (blue squigglies) in a few places, which indicates to me that I should get validation errors while validating through code. When I try to validate an invalid document, I never get any validation errors. I have tried many...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
