View 3 RepliesI am having a problem that dtAsia.rows.count>0 doesn't count at all. All I want to do is tell the user that their username already exists in the game but I'm having a bad time now because for example: I entered a valid username and its success... I entered an invalid username and got the CATCH part of this code.. So if i entered a valid username again. I still got the CATCH part of the code until the end even if I enter valid or invalid username still got the CATCH part.
If (dtAsia.Rows.Count > 0) Then ' wont work
MsgBox("Username: " & Trim(txtUsername.Text) & " is already exist.", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Message :")

View 2 RepliesI have this MySQL Query glitch in my VB.NET program. Here is the query in VB.NET:
"SELECT Points FROM user WHERE Username = '" & UsernameText.Text & "';"
It will select the points column from the user table from the Username they entered. When I deploy this it will set the value for points to 0 on their account. I'm not even inserting anything in.
I have a login form that I made. The user enters a username in textbox1 and then enters a password in textbox2. The user then hits the submit button (button2) and from there it works beautifully. The problem is, I would also like the user to be able to hit the "enter" key after they fill out the password textbox (textbox2) and have it be like they pressed the submit button. When the user hits enter right now, the form hides.

We have a desktop application that is under maintenance,developed using VB.Net 2005. There are couple of installations for this app. One of the users is using TS. We use the API GetWindowsDirectory that returns the user's home directory where we place .ini file. And this worked well.Recently, we modifed few vb.net forms. But the code related to looking for .ini file was not touched. When we compiled the app and sent the update to the client, the user now reports that under TS,the app is looking for .ini file shared windows i.e. C:windows rather than the user's home directory. What can go wrong? Why is GetWindowsDirectory not returning me the user's home directory?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to set up a new internal system for my client currently, they insisted on integrating the login with AD, which makes sense, and i have managed that with no problem. However what i also want to do, after authentication, is to store some user details / attributes as session variables. I have the following code to aithenticate the user:
'this function authenticates against AD - very simple and works nicely.
Function AuthenticateUser(path As String, user As String, pass As String) As Boolean
Dim de As New DirectoryEntry(path, user, pass, AuthenticationTypes.Secure)
[code]....
which works nicely, and once the function returns me a True, i set Session("LoggedIn") as True.what i need to do is (hopefully within the above function) save the user's name, and 2 other custom atributes from within the user's AD profile.How would i access those (hypothetically)
I am looking to create a simple password box that will ask the user for a username and pass, if the user is validated against the usernames and passwords in an .ini file the login box will close and launch a program also stated in the .ini file. I would also like to be able to launch different programs for different users.

View 13 RepliesI would like to develop a structure to maintain my user's text input somehow on each form to allow user to return to the form and see the prior input for potential editing. My app has four forms which accept user input and form a string for output to printer. In the eventuality that the user notes a mistake in the input after leaving the app, I would like to develop a structure to "save" the user input at the form level and allow for repopulating the text boxes with the prior user input. Make sense? I have no idea how accomplish that functionality. Maybe it's too complex for my purposes. What do the pros think?
View 2 RepliesI am working on a file access monitor wrapped up in a VB .Net Class. The ileSystemWatcher is working and my log file shows files when they are accessed. However, I am having trouble returning who or what accessed the files. For example....system services and processes should return something like NT-ATHORITYSYSTEM while a network share being accessed by another computer should return DOMAINUSERNAME and finally a process running in the background via "Switch User" should be returned as DOMAINSOMEOTHERUSER ....anybody have any ideas? I have searched high and low and have found nothing but other people asking the same question and people saying how it is not possible. the Sysinternals Process Monitor is able to output the correct results and its documentation states it was created using NET API however I can not find any references to any such API calls or combination of such. Should I be using something else other than the FileSystemWatcher? My code is below
View 3 RepliesIt's been a good few years since I dabbled in VB and I'm very very rusty so any help would be great! What I'm looking to do is search an access database with user input and display the relevant record.I have a single table set up in an access database called school_info with the following fields and data:
Tres________DfE________Name_________Type
001________1234________School 1________Primary
002________4321________School 2________Secondary
[code]...
I've linked the database to my new project, connected the database and added the 4 fields to my form. When I run it, the data shows in the boxes fine.The Tres and DfE fields are show in text boxes on the VB form, and the school and Type are show in labels. What I really want to do is be able to manually type in either a Tres or DfE number into the relevant text field and have the other labels auto populate with the relevant data that's stored in the database table.
the project here is to take the three amounts from three text boxes entered by the user and return a string in a label telling the user if the triangle is either a right triangle, equilateral triangle, or neither after clicking a button. The code I have must use a new Class named Triangle. No matter what is entered in the text boxes, the label always returns "You created a right triangle!"

View 2 RepliesI'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. I have a Folder Dialog Browser added in my form and I call it when the user presses a button. The folder path string is stored in a string variable and displayed as text in a text box. (maybe I should use a combo box)

I know, it's a bit weird asking for a query to tell me my own email address right, I'll explain further...
I'm writing a COM add-in for Outlook 2007. One of the subs generates and sends an email to a particular address and this all works fine.However I have a need to have an option for the sender to be able to include themselves on the recipients list.As more than one person will be running this I cannot just set the sender's email address manually and would prefer to just add a check box on the form to enable this feature.
The only bit I'm stuck on is working out how to find the email address of the person sending the email. I could do it with an AD query against the logged on user but this needs to work for non-domain users also so need another method.
