Getting rid of "Windows don't recognise"-popup?

Hi!

I have a .NET-application made in Visual Basic 2005 that works perfectly.
The only problem is that whenever I run the application on another computer
than my own Windows warns the user and tells him that it's not sure wheter to
trust the author of the program or not. You then have to click OK to run the
program. How can I get rid of this very un-professional-looking warning?

Thanks in advance!

Well, this is all part of the security mechanisms. If you really want to get
rid of these warnings for good, you might want to strong name and sign your
assemblies with AuthentiCode.

How do I do that? Do I have to pay anything?

Well, strong naming doesn't cost anything, look here,
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...8b(VS.80).aspx. However, you
still need someone else (a trusted authority) to vouch for you as a
publisher and that's where Authenticode comes in, look here,
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc....mspx?mfr=true
and here http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms537359.aspx.

Unfortunately, it is not cheap, sorry.

Now, you don't mention how and wher to you're distributing your application,
which might mean you have other options?

Hi, I am writing an App in .Net that involves some scheduling of tasks. I was wondering if anybody has come accross any components or examples of how to implement a schedule manager like the one in the Task Scheduler for Windows? Basically I'm after something that'll allow me to specify a "recurring" or "once off" schedule with advanced options like "the first monday in the month" etc.

Hi, hope I'm posting to the right forum. I'm using C# under .NET 1.1, Windows XP SP2 I have a form and I've overridden WndProc to print to a text box whenever it receives the WM_NCMOUSELEAVE message. Under "Windows XP Style", I get these messages fine (when the mouse moves off the title bar or form borders). Under "Windows Classic Style", I don't get the message at all! Has anyone seen this?

Hi all, I need to call windows' "open with" dialog from my C# windows form application. After the user selects application, control must return to me (I have to launch directly the process).

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,...
