Description:
A keygen means a program that generate keys for a certain program.

Preparation: Steps:
1. Create a project
Open Visual Basic 8 and create a Windows Form Application. Name it as the keygen you want to make. In this tutorial, i will make a Windows 7 Keygen as an example.

2. Edit the project properties
When you've done creating the project, now you have to change the project's properties. In the box at the bottom right hand side of the project, that's where you change the properties for everything. Click on the form and change the properties as below:

3. Adding items into your project
Now you should add some items into your keygen. These are the things you should contain in a keygen:
To add items into your keygen, look at the toolbox at the left of your project. Simply drag the item that you want and put it into your project. It will appear there, and you can put it in where you like.

4. Finding a logo
Now you should find a logo to put into your keygen. The logo must be related to the program of the keygen. You can google the logo of the program and add some text into it.

This is what i made for mine:

Once you got your logo ready, insert a PictureBox into your project and insert the picture into it.

5. Insert the data into your project
Once you've inserted your logo, you can start to put in the required data into your project.
Insert a label and change the Text to "Select the version you want:" or something like that. Once you've done that, you can now proceed to the ComboBox/RadioButton. Here i will use ComboBox because it's much more easier to use. To change the data in the ComboBox, click on the ComboBox and click Items in the Properties.

6. Inserting your keys into the keygen
Now you can start inserting the keys into your keygen. These keys will be shown when you click the Generate Button.
Double click the Generate button and paste the following into the code:

7. Finalizing and building your keygen
Now you have already reached the last step of building your keygen! Press F5 and debug your project and test whether the buttons are working or not. When you're done, click Build on the top menu and click Build {ProjectName}.

To see your built keygen, go to Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\{ProjectName}\{ProjectName}\Bin\Rele ase\{ProjectName}.exe

And now you're done! I'll provide you the exe for my project here…

Bluetooth is one of today's most exciting technologies. It is a short-range radio wave wireless technology operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency spectrum. With an operating range of 30 feet (10 meters) and a maximum transmission rate of a mere 1Mbps, Bluetooth is widely touted as the "cable replacement" solution.
Bluetooth has been around for awhile but there seem to be few developers who have experience in building applications that will run over Bluetooth. In this article, I will show how you can build a Bluetooth chat application using the .NET Compact Framework. Once you've built a chat application using this simple example, you should have a good foundation for building any number of killer Bluetooth applications.

One of the nice things about these older Logitech Webcams is that they don't require a driver download and they support Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) directly. WIA is an API included in Windows that aims to unify the acquisition of images from all kinds of devices, including scanners and cameras. This is a pretty low-level API and a bit of a hassle to us. However, after Windows XP SP1 the WIA Automation Layer was released with a simpler COM API meant for VB6 and ASP developers. You can download this layer from MSDN and other places as it is free for redistribution. The meat of the layer is the wiaaut.dll that should be copied into the system32 directory and registered via the command "regsvr32 wiaaut.dll."
