For binding the text fields to my object I simply used a property: “Regime”.
The (work)regime has 10 properties: id, user(id), “Monday” till “Sunday” and “weektotal”.
All these properties raise an event by calling “PropChanged()”.
This method would look up into the call stack wich method called him. Properties get set_ and get_ before the property-name as method.
This way I could test it was ending with “day” and then also raise a “weektotal”-changed event, as this property is readonly and actualy a property for binding the total of all days.

propChanged

Private Sub PropChanged()
 'Get the stacktrace and get the calling method
 Dim stack As Diagnostics.StackTrace = New System.Diagnostics.StackTrace
 Dim method As Reflection.MethodBase = stack.GetFrame(1).GetMethod()
 'Methods starting with "set_" are the properties
 If method.Name.ToLower.StartsWith("set_") Then
  'remove the "set_" and raise the event with the propertyname
  RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs(method.Name.Substring(4)))
  'when the day changes, the total is also changed
  If method.Name.EndsWith("day") Then
   RaiseEvent PropertyChanged(Me, New PropertyChangedEventArgs("weektotal"))
  End If
 End If
End Sub

In a combobox I had a list of “presets” and when I select one, I update the “Regime”, to have the same values. Now, this wasn’t working.
After like testing everything, for fun I showed a messagebox with the method.Name property.
This let only see: “.createWorkRegime”, a complete surprise as it was actualy called by the Property “Monday” or “Tuesday” etc.

Obvious, when adding the plain RaiseEvent PropertyChanged, the binding works.
I didn’t figured out why this happens, but it looks like the call-stack is changed when using properties in the constructor.
I really don’t understand it as it’s only having this behavior when used in the constructor.

So it is changing the callstack AND ONLY when its runned from release (and directly the exe and not by visual studio)

If someone knows why this is happening, please let me know.

Off course there is no MD5 function like in php .
That’s why I searched a function that can do it, a little search on google like “java MD5 function” and so I looked at the first pages links and tried the functions that weren’t too long.

FAIL

I created the vBulletin login system in java and with the first test account I could login …. BUT my own login failed . Quite irritating if you try 10 passes, all work and when you put it live, many people complaining they can’t login…

As I got “lucky” with my pass, I found that my hashed login was wrong, so after some debugging I found a 0 (zero) was missing in the first MD5. So the MD5 function was WRONG:(

As a test, I created a program that creates random passwords and create the MD5 of it with the functions I found on different sites (found by using  google).

Extra info

Both MySQL and php’s MD5 function has a hex notation, clearly not all MD5-functions found are hex notated, this is not a must, but off course needed for being compatible with php/MySQL.

The problem

In the next image you can see the standard behavior of the MD5-function found.
Most of them looks okay, but notice that the one from bombaydigital uses uppercase hex notation, and by using it for another round with MD5 it will go wrong.
The one found on Stockoverflow clearly doesn’t use hex-notation. And the one from Spiration, lost a 0 (zero).

MD5 function output from different sites

With double MD5 you see the differences even faster, like shown in the next image:

differences seen by using double use of MD5 functions found for java

The first marked line, you see that Spiration’s MD5 is wrong, in the second marked line, you see Spirition’s MD5 is ok. So it’s not reliable.
In the first and second marked lines you can see that dzone’s MD5  is ok, but the thirth and fourth are wrong. Also, not reliable.
As noted by single MD5, StockOverflow is not hex and bombaydigital is uppercase, so both functions aren’t giving me the expected output.

The right solution

This leaves us with the one from twmacinta, clearly it’s working, but in code, I needed 779 lines (including comment)
But it’s not really worth if it can be done in nearly 10 lines of code.

JAVA HEX MD5

public String MD5(String md5) {
   try {
        java.security.MessageDigest md = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
        byte[] array = md.digest(md5.getBytes());
        StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
        for (int i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) {
          sb.append(Integer.toHexString((array[i] & 0xFF) | 0x100).substring(1,3));
       }
        return sb.toString();
    } catch (java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
    }
    return null;
}

So don’t just copy/paste everything you find by using google. Other sites (just like me) can be wrong, yes, we are also just people.
