I'm using Windows 7 Pro (32bit) and have .NET 3.5 and 4 installed.I have written a .NET screensaver and have enabled it to run on the Windows logon screen.[code]BUT when I'm logged in the screensaver works.So it isn't a faulty installation of the .NET framework, or else it wouldn't work fullstop.

View 1 RepliesI was thinking about replacing my log on screen. I don't just mean changing the background style or whatever, I mean a totally different app, which would allow users to log on and off. I'm prepared to spend a serious amount of time on this, and I just wanted to know if it is concievably possible, and if anyone's ever done it before? I want to do this because I'm sick of the Vista log on screen. This doesn't neccesarily have to be made in vb, I could de-compile the .dll files which make up the logon screen and then re compile them.
View 8 RepliesI am planning on creating a service that measures the bootup time for a computer. It would go something like this:
1. Service starts and waits for CTRL+ALT+DEL screen
2. Timer starts when logon screen appears
3. User logs in and timer stops
4. Service waits for process X to start
5. Process X starts and service gets System.Environment.TickCount
6. Service subtracts step 3 ticks from tickcount
The reason for the logon screen timer is I don't want to measure if the user booted up and went for coffee or something and shows up 20 mins later to log in. Is there any way for the service to detect when the logon screen is present and when it's gone?
and i am developing a software called logon screen changer xp but i get this error
View 6 RepliesI am wanting to create a logon similar to the Windows Live logon, so in other words. user has frmLogon and is located in Australia. The user enters his/her details and then the program connects to a server in the United States and checks the Username and Password to make sure it is correct if it is correct it allows the user to logon and move to the next stage, if it is wrong it will give him an error message. I am wondering if anyone has a tutorial or source code laying around that I can rip apart and see how it works. I want to put the database on my server and connect to it from my desktop using the logon form.
View 3 RepliesI have a "ClickOnce" application and on the Splash screen I display the Version. I am also displaying the "CreationTime" (see below) that I thought was when the Build or Publish was done. Today I realized it is displaying the date/time when the application is actually installed on the PC. How do I pull the date when the this version was compiled, Built, or Published? I really do not care which -I just want a constant date the sticks with that version. I'm using VB 2005.

I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).
View 4 RepliesI started with VB 6.0 back when i was 14, I was mostly into coding programs that interacted with other programs. Recently I installed VB.net 2005 pro i got from school, and i grabbed few source codes that teach show interaction, I feel so dumb, i dont remember anything lol. It be great if you guys can share some source codes and other stuff in this field. also other day i was in dream spark and i am able to get copy of VS.net 2010 ultimate edition, are there a lot of major changes, cause i got 2 thick book for VB.net 2005..
View 1 RepliesWhen you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.
BTW this issue occurs in any MS office program when the VB.Net (or even VBA) is processing information.Example: In Excel, a worksheet is displayed on the screen. I start either, a VB.Net or VBA procedure and within 30 seconds the Excel worksheet (previously displayed) blanks out. In both VB.Net and VBA,ScreenUpdating = False. My expectation is that the previously displayed screen would stay static as if I left my desk to get a cup of coffee; came back and the same ole Excel worksheet was still there?Of course, setting VBA Screen Updating = False accomplishes two goals: 1) speeds up processing and 2) saves the user from seeing unnecessary "garbage-processing" steps.Why does VBA or VB.Net ScreenUpdating = False not freeze the screen at the time of its invoking?

View 3 RepliesI'm working on upgrading a solution in VB.NET that is heavily based on Active Directory. As of now, I'm trying to add a PC restriction to a new AD User upon user creation. Essentially, I need to update the Logon To attribute to include 1 or more PCs, how do I go about doing this? I learned that I am interested in the IADsUser property "LoginWorkstations" url...). As of now, I have code that can fetch this attribute from any AD user, but I cannot set it. [code]I've tried testing this approach with a different attribute and it works just fine. Not much out there on Google either unfortunately.
View 2 RepliesI need to logon to a NAS Drive to query directory listings. All users will be logging into a domain. The NAS also has security set up on it with a different username password.
I will have a handful of users (maybe 10 - each logging into the same domain, but from different pc's) that will need to access a NAS Drive to query a directory structure. All will have physical access, and can connect via windows explorer (manually entering a user and pass).
During my first attempt via my app - I get the error "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" Which is good cause I only want a handful of users logging on to this drive. If I logon to the drive via Windows Explorer and then go back to the app and it works.
So what I did was create a multi form app.
- At launch the parent form loads (as well as a logon window within that form). The logon window auto fills a text box with a username. That is pulled from the current logged on user - or can be replaced. I would like each user to then enter a password -> send that to the NAS for authentication -> then either open the app (mentioned above) or give some kind of a message box saying they now have connectivity to the drive.
I am writing a app to list the printers on various print servers and map the printer.My only problem is that I need the user to enter their domain credentials to gain access to the print server.I cant figure out how to connect to the print server using those credentials.If I try this:dim My PrinterServer as New PrintServer(\PServer1)I get a logon failure.How do I pass the credentials?

I have some code which queries the AD for a users information. On Windows 7 this works as expected but on XP it returns the error: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password
This seems to be across the board on XP machines, except the development was done on XP and tested on a different XP machine and they were fine. I don't have access to these 2 machines anymore so I can't test to see if it still works on them. don't know if it is a problem because of XP or a different reason but all I know is it doesn't work and XP seems to be the common denominator.
The error is thrown at this line:
Dim entry As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://ldapString", "username", "password")
As I say, this works on 7 but not on XP, it also works when logging in through ADExplorer. What could possibly be the problem?
Hi guys, we have an application which requires elevation to admin rights on VISTA/Windows 7 machine because it provides an ActiveX interface. We can't at present get around this requirement. With a manifest file and on a VISTA machine we get the UAC administrator prompt 'An unidentified program wants access to your computer' and logon request. Disabling UAC is not an option with our clients. I believe that authenticode signing the EXE will at least make the program trusted and thus remove the logon request. But I believe we will still be left with a grey prompt that asks something like 'Did you run this program, do you want to continue' - is this correct? Is there any way of getting rid of the prompts completely?
