I have a requirement wherein I need to check if the hard disk isn't RAID before turning on a feature that encrypts the hard disk. Is there a built-in class in C# that would let me find this? I looked at the MSDN-DriveInfo class and it does not seem to have that information.
Not sure if you can check if a hard drive is RAID, I am pretty sure you can't because the hard drive just looks like one physical drive, but I would look into Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), the .NET libraries are System.Management and System.Management.Instrumentation, here is an article that demos usage:

If you are using WMI, you can test BusType of MSFT_Disk. I am not sure how reliable it is though.

My adviser told me to use Accord Framework for C# to extract features and patterns from images. Our project is about image analysis and comparison of tobacco leaves. Does anyone here have an idea on how to do it? Thank you.
This is pretty high level stuff, but from what I've learned in my time faffing with it, I'd use the Accord.Imaging library to scan your pictures. Followed by using the Accord.Neuro namespace to "learn" from some manual data you feed into it.
Seems your goal is to create a program that scans images quickly, gleaning only the useful data from the full image, and then checking for some particular features of the image. I've never used the library, but it looks like it'd be possible to use it.

As the title says "How do you make a license for your programs?"
Do you use a plugin or do you make your own? I've looked the whole day for finding resulutions, but didnt found one yet.
I basically want a normal license for my program:
A textbox where you type your license "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX"
Is it possible to make this yourself, or should i use a website for it? If i should use a website, which do you recomend then?
It is rather simple to implement a simple license yourself BUT it will no be very save.
Because C# is transformed into IL, everybody can decompile your code easily and work around your license checks. It is very hard to build a license mechanism in a save way, so you should resort to some existing, proven solution.

I am developing a .net program that needs to communicate with a magnetic card reader/writer.
it has a DLL but i couldnt find its functions and the producer company told me that i have to use only with serial port commands.
In its manual, there is some commands that has been explained not clear enough ! I tried to use them but i couldn't get any response for non of commands.
Does any body has experience with card reader devices ?!
Is there any handshaking or initialization i need to set ?!
My card reader model is : Skankyo 6940
As said Dennis asking a vendor and reading its docmentation is more productice and most accurate way you can approach to work with the library .
Alternatively you may think of using: DUMPBIN.EXE utility, to dump all export functions of that (presumably C) dll. I repeat,in this way is much harder then reading a documentation, but, yes, you can also find some "hidden gems".
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to create a C# application which allows me to extract just the audio from YouTube videos. I've come across sites that already do that, but I'm not sure how they actually work. What would be the best way to do this programmatically?
Thanks for any advice
Writing an application for this might be overkill. Existing tools already do a pretty good job, and it's hard to beat their simplicity:
wget http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=... |
ffmpeg -i - audio.mp3
All done!
If your application needs to do something special with the audio afterwards, it would make sense to write an app for that part. But for just getting the audio out, shelling out to ffmpeg will be a lot easier.

are there any tutorials out there on how to create a sandbox using C#?
I would like to personalize my own one, thanks
Study up on using AppDomains. Here's some code examples.
We just recently used the MonoSandbox for Security reasons.
I don't know if it works with standard Microsoft's CLR, or if it is specific to the Mono implementation, but I think it works better than just a custom sanbdbox using AppDomains, and since the source code is open you can probably find a way to make it work for you.
The best documentation I have found for the MonoSandbox is here: http://www.mono-project.com/MonoSandbox
I would start by looking at Code Access Security.
