Cheat Engine

Hi
I want to make a very small program like Cheat Engine in visual basic 2010.
I just want to load "flashplayerplugin" and change a value which is "array of bytes".
Can you please help me to write it?
Thank you

I'll give you some ideas for the array of byte thing you are doing (signature scanning as it is called).

1. ReadProcessMemory() a chunk of memory
Compare it to your signature (array of bytes) to see if they match
Repeat 1 if they don't
Save the address if they matched.

You will be better off doing this in c++ or any other language than VB because its God-awfully slow and will take a lot of time for the results.

you can use C/C++ for write dll to do that
and use that dll in VB.net/C# applications to make it faster

You can do all of it in C# without needing C/C++ at all.

Use the Process namespace to locate the process you need to edit:

You can scan for an array of bytes a number of different ways, here is an example of what I do in some of my personal projects:

Reading and Writing to memory can be done via ReadProcessMemory and WriteProcessMemory respectively, an example again from one of my projects:
