I have a win service related question, not PB specific, but maybe someone knows about it. I want to to run a server program on our internal server. Our admin told me he want's it to be a service, so he has better control over it. So i used your code and it works without problems on my machine. Howev...

Cool stuff, thx.
I am using BeaEngine. The "decomposer" is very usefull for automatic code analysis for hooking and stuff. BeaEngine also offers this functionality.

While there are still situations modifying code is usefull. Like the cases you allready told and it's essential for hooks. Self modifying code in the classical sense is a outdated concept and should not be used on modern CPU's at least not on the x86/64 family of CPU's. Back in the days self modifiy...

jas wrote:For assembly programming a better debugger or a way to send debug info to another debugger would be nice.

I use OllyDbg or x64dbg to debug assembly code.
Just put a "!int 3" befor your code, to trigger a breakpoint in the debugger. Then i single step through the code.

If you're doing that beyond the confines of a secured LAN Even then, your security relys on the trust to all clients in the network. Not only to people operating the clients but also to the security of the clients. If only one of the clients gets compromised, your database is compromised. I know it...

I have a number of apps that clients use on their personal computers, which access a Postgres DB at a remote location. This is a very high security risk. You should never connect directly to a remote database with client apps. The only apps that should to that are administrative apps to configure a...

Last time I looked there was no possibility to access any database. (like a corporate MS-SQL database) Is this still the case? If so it's no use to me :( Of course you cant access a database. This is obvious for security reasons. You need to use a server side script or program to do this. Thats the...

Would be even better if PB would use UTF-16 internaly instead of UCS-2. It would have the same problem you ran into with UTF-8 (making some string procedures more complicated and most likely slower). It also would break existing forum code which uses pointers to unicode characters assuming a unicod...

5.40 LTS is out. So i guess this is the last LTS to include ASCII. I allready transitioned to unicode. Since this announcement i made all my new project unicode projects. However for file formats and network protocols i am not using PB's UCS-2 or UTF-16 (whatever it may be). I am using UTF-8, which ...

No, well no PB bug. It's actualy a Windows "bug". The themed progress bar does some interpolation and does not fill to full in many cases. You can see this for yourself if you change the windows theme to classic. With classic your code works just fine and fully fills the bar. It's a known ...

My problem with many posts here is, that they can be summarised to "I hate objects! Don't include it!". When you have an argument, why PB should not support object handling, tell us. Than we can discuss about this. But "fred said no" - yes we know. And of course I am trying to c...

without using OOP. It is simply ridiculous to try program all the stuff from such games without using object system. So modern trends are all up to OOP, just no need to use it everywhere when it not needed like C++ propagates. I dont see any problem. Describe your problem and people might offer ide...

and a floating variable/constante ? Using floats on for next is actualy not a good idea. It's extremly slow because it needs some extra care do work reliably. You can't just increment floats like integers. Here is a thread about the dangers of incrementing floats in for next loops: http://www.pureb...

Is there a source level disassembler that works with PureBasic? I would like to examine the actual x86 or x64 generated code that corresponds to the original PB source. Actualy PB generates asm code. You can keep the commented (comments are the PB source lines) asm file by launching the PB compiler...

I dont think it's a good protection.
The user name is typicaly not the only thing a user can enter.
