Activation Key Storage Utility

[Mindweaver]

It looks good Kreij! I see you have put a lot of time into this project. I'd like to make a small suggestion.. I would put a button above on the right side of the DataGrid to turn off/on allowupdate, allowDelete, and AllowAddNew. So, when someone is scrolling through there keys they don't accidently change something. I would add a messagebox or MsgBox to inform the user they enabled or disabled user changes inside the DataGrid as well.

Oh and I know you know this, but I'll say it for anyone here to learn. You can create a click event to the "Commit" button to enable those settings and disable once the new save data has been saved. You can also do more stuff like change the DataGrid OFF/On button text to red when it's off and green when it's on. This is just a good visual notification for the user.

EDIT: I said Save button.. I meant the Commit button..

Also, I noticed whenever you type directly into the DataGrid then change rows then back it crashes the app with an unhandled exception. See Below.

************** Exception Text **************
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I would turn off the allowAddNew until the user clicked, "Commit" or wrap the code in a, "try... catch".

bumping because i refuse to let this die. Its incredibly useful and i use it to store everything. I wont stop pestering until its done.

 

[Kreij]

Okay, Sol. I get back to work on it.
It's been awhile since I looked at it, so it will take me a little while to refresh the code in my brain.
I'll start going backward through this thread for problems and suggestions.

you have no idea how much I love you right now. I had half a mind to make a brat and smear it all over my no no spots. This program is literally gold and is the most secure one I have ever come across it is ABSOLUTE peace of mind when I use it. Not to mention the girls.

"Bitches love when i keep my passwords in Key-Z"

 

[Kreij]

Okay, fixed the issue that Mindweaver found by redoing the way the key section works.

The password tab was intended to auto-generate strong passwords. The fact that it stores the passwords separately from the keys seems a little redundant. Would it be fortuitous to have it so if you generate a password and "commit" it that it stores it (and the group and description) in the keys section on the first tab?
There is no difference (as far as the program is concerned) between a key and a password and this would also give you the ability to add a comment if you so choose.

 

[Kreij]

Okay, here is a new version with some changes. Let me know what you think.
I compiled against .Net 4.0, so you need that.
I've got a bit of a version mismatch thing going here, so ...
BACKUP UP YOUR EXISTING KEY FILE BEFORE TESTING !!!

 

[VulkanBros]

minor thing - under Help -> Content -> Solaris Utility DVD - link dosent work
(Solaris´s website is down ???)

 

[Kreij]

It's still his old domain name. I'll fix that in next version.

That didn't work. SOLARIS WHAT'S YOUR DOMAIN NOW (and is it up?)

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Well Kreij maybe I am just a dumbass but is there a way to save like user names and passwords for different sites and such? All I see is where you can put List under password with just the app name and password with no place for the username. For example if I wanted to save the password and user name for tpu in it. Here's a screenshot of what it has.

Here's A screenshot of what my feeble brain thinks should be there.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Also is it normal for every time I open to program I get this warning?

 

[Solaris17]

sudvd.net and it is up. its under construction. I wanted to make it more webstandard friendly so im starting from scratch. but the disks are still their. Thanks

 

[Kreij]

@MadShots : Thank you. There is nothing for usernames at the moment because no one ever brought it up and I never thought of it. I will put a lot of thought into a good implementation for that.
As for the security warning, that's Windows doing it's thing. You can uncheck the checkbox and it won't ask again, but I'm not going to bother getting "verified" as a publisher through Microsoft by getting a digital signature.

@Sol : Thank buddy.

Cool thanks maybe I am not such a dumbass and missed something after all. Yes there is no need to bother with the verification. I'll just put a check in the box.

 

[Kreij]

No Mad, you're not a dumbass. lol You pointed out something really important for the password section.

Since application keys do not need a username, do you think that combining the username and password in the "key" column (for password entries) in some manner would work well?

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

That should work or add a column for the user name like I did with the second pic if its not to much trouble. I think the extra column would be used more than not as we all have accounts to multiple websites that require a user name and password.

 

[Kreij]

Yes, but if you are entering activation keys that column is meaningless and would still be there.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

I see your point it would just be a blank space for that entry

 

[Kreij]

What if when you hovered over the password a tooltip showed you the user name?
That would keep things a little more private for the casual observer.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

That would be cool. I like that ideal.

 

[Kreij]

You still on Mad? I thought I was the only insomniac in P&W. lol
I'll put that in the next build and we can test it to see what people like.
This has got to be good for the users or it's just another PITA appp.

 

[Mindweaver]

Looks good Kreij. I did notice one thing and it's small and adds the extra polish. When you save and get the "Access Password and PIN" dialogue box needs to be updated with your program Icon and also the description header cuts off "Access Password and PIN". It looks like "Access Password and PI...". Hope this helps.

Spoiler: Example

[Kreij]

Thanks Mindweaver, I made the window a little bigger so it won't do that.

Looking into the exception, Sol.

 

[Solaris17]

Im excited I love this app. also for the exception mayeb its because of the way it imports? diffirent number of columns or maybe its supposed to output to a specific tab # and when you changed them its now out of order?

 

[Kreij]

Try this one Sol.
