2 months agoI’m glad I could bring back a happy memory for you.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been struggling with depression, I know it’s different for everyone but I can relate and wouldn’t wish that torture on my worst enemy. I hope you’re able to find the support that you need, and can break out of that horrible situation.
Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.
VB.NET app that was installed on every employees computer to capture time sheets. Required VPN access so it could talk to the accounting DB using raw queries, zero input validation, and it used a pirated library for the time input grid control.
The IT staff who would install the program on all new machines (it didn’t work with their imaging system) had a script to suppress the message requesting a paid license. There was nothing special about this control, it was basically a rip off of built in winforms controls.
Source code was long lost, but reverse engineering and decompiling CIL/MSIL code is thankfully relatively straightforward.
