[Help] Codes for adding sites to be blocked in Host File [Solved]
It has nothing to do with VB but here it is:
Open up your C:\ Drive
navigate to "windows"
navigate to "system32"
navigate to "drivers"
navigate to "ect"
open "hosts" with admin privileges in notepad
type the destination IP first, then a space, then the website to which you want to make the computer navigate to the IP you previously wrote
EX:
127.0.0.1 is also localhost (nothing)
the above example is how to block adobe updater in order to crack cs5

Obviously he wanted to know how to do it programmatically, otherwise he wouldn't have asked.
You can either use IO.File.AppendText or an IO.StreamWriter with "Append" set to true. Write the "IP sitename" as mnpeep did above and write each to a new line. An example:
[highlight=vb.net]
Using sWriter As New IO.StreamWriter"C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ho st", True)
sWriter.WriteLine("127.0.0.1 LocalHost")
End Using
[/highlight]

sWriter.Writeline(vbcrlf & IPTextbox.text & " " & Websitetextbox.text)
??? make it so the user can add lines and use a textbox to type in the text?

sWriter.Writeline(vbcrlf & IPTextbox.text & " " & Websitetextbox.text)

. Also you don't need to add a new CrLf character...what's the point of WriteLine then?
