We have a current implementation of a log file manager where it's two main purposes are to 1. rename files generated by other programs with a date/time stamp so they create new ones, and 2. delete files older then X amount of days from a specified folder. The program also makes it's own log file which records when these events happen.Do you think the Logging Application Block would be useful in this instance? The old file manager is written in VB 6.0 and an upgrade to VB .Net would not take too long, but is it worth it to try and implement LAP into it?
I have a system which have already handled exceptions by try-catch blocks everywhere.How do I quickly and generically implement exception logging like overriding something instead of inserting logging functions in every single catch block?
i'm developing a web application. i want if user access it, it will prompt for windows authentication, if the username and password is correct, then the page appears.i've been working around on this but it's not working. my web app prompt users for windows authentication, but it always failed or access denied.anything i should check?
Using visual studio (Winforms) with sql server (R2). If you can login by inserting the correct values in the textfields (vb.net) that is connected in the database . How do i code the log out?
I've made an application and it connects to my database. But the issue is the details of the database can be found out through packet logging or something. How can I stop this from happening and secure it, without having to have a third party such as PHP script etc.
I'd like to create a new file everyday for a logging application to minimize size when accessing. I'm after a couple of pointers with respect to when to create the file, and what checks to do etc.
I'd like to block unwanted application from running in my system, mostly setup until given access by my application. I would have a white list of allowed application.
I'm having a problem with some users, my vb tools always check at the splash screen a response from a server with a simple:
Dim MyResult as string = oWebclient.DownloadString("www.mydomain.com/page.php")
This actually works for most users but in some clients the firewalls I think they block this call or bypass or something like that, I found that after telling the user to turn off the firewall everything works ok, now I have some users that according to them they don't have a firewall or they already disable and still they have the problem.
You can see from the image the error message they receive, so my question is do you know any kind of free tool that I can send to the user to maybe log what program or whatever is blocking the program to connect?
So I created an application with vb.net, I added Messenger type Api in preferences, compiled my program and everything was fine. However I can't run the program from other directories. It says that the .dll is missing. I'm trying to include the .dll to the program somehow - no success, how that should be done? Friend tried to help me and said I should add "Application block" something to the references. I can't find that though.
I have a block of code in an application I have written. I have tried two different variations.Below are examples of the method I used: [code] The second example adds only three more lines of code. Yet, the app would run at about 10% of the speed as it would in the first sample.
Is there a way to intercept a MsgBox() from an external application and block it using VB.Net?
For this discussion, let's say the MsgBox Title is "SQL Application" and the Message is "SQL Error - Try Again".
I have found some examples of looking for the MsgBox to pop-up (by watching for the Window title) and then sending key(s) to press OK, but I was curious if the whole process could be avoided. Otherwise, the user still sees a MsgBox or a "flash", even if it's only temporary.
I have a data logging application that stores data in a table in a MySQL database. Data with a TimeStamp is logged into the table anytime the data from the sensor changes. This means that there maybe 2 seconds between data points or there maybe 20 seconds between points depending on how the data is changing.
When I need the data I have 2 dates and use this command to fill a table..SELECT FROM myTable WHERE timeStamp > date1 AND timeStamp < date2 This gets all the data that has a TimeStamp between the given dates, but in most case the first date in the returned table will be after date1, so I need to get the data from one row before the date returned in the table to know what the data was at date1.How can I get the data row that immediately precedes the returned data set?
I'm a college student just starting out programming in VB and am having a lot of trouble trying to get my drawing program to work. Currently i am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and whenever i try to debug my program the window it's supposed to run in is just a gray block. I'm not too sure if this is the right place in the forum to post this so if it is just let me know and ill move it. c:
Is there a need to explicitly close the connection in this Microsoft Data Access Application Block for .NET? i am encountering timeout expired pooling errors in the sql server 2000. I am wondering if the unclosed connection is the problem
When using WCF together with Enterprise Library 5.0's validation application block, is it possible to customize the error messages which are sent back to the client? I've added the ValidationBehaviour-attribute to my service contract and the FaultContract-attribute to the operation:
[Code]...
The service returns ValidationFault as it should, but instead of having the error message and tag which I've defined, it uses some generic values. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
We are working on an ASP.Net/VB.Net application using Enterprise Library for our data access (DAAB).
We are trying to store DateTime values in an Oracle Date field. However, the precision is being lost. Currently only the year, month, and date are being stored. We need better precision than this.
Oracle Dates are supposed to "includes not just the month, day, and year, but also the hour, minute, and second. "
I'm getting desperate here trying to find the problem, and I don't know where to start looking for it.
Here are the symptoms:I've noticed, that when a user logs on in the morning, he is then immediately logged off, then when he logs on again, everything is fine and he can work on the site.
Every once in a while, when the user clicks a link, the page takes a lot of time to load, but it never actually loads, and the user is thrown to the login page.Also, after an Exception has occurred in the website, the user is then thrown to the login page. It's as if the exception clears somehow the session.
I have inherited a ASP.net site, and I've made some changes too to some of the VB code and CSS, and have hosted it on a FTP. It uses an SQL DB to allow users to log in and calls stored procedures.The site complies with no errors, and allows me to log in as a user, and can works perfectly on testing.However, once uploaded to the FTP, it no longer allows me to log in as a user. It hangs for a while, and then returns a message saying that the password is wrong, despite it being correct. It doesn't throw an error message, and I think I've narrowed it down to something to do with the Web.config file, but I'm at a loss as how it's not working, especially with the lack of error messages being thrown.[code]
I was wondering is there a way anyone knows of to "inject" a logger into an application such that it passively monitors the thread and quietly logs processes as they occur without having to do things like: [Code] It would then monitor everything that goes on inside of that method including passed in arguments along with method calls and values passed into those methods, exceptions that occur etc. Has anyone implemented something like this in the past? Could it even be implemented? Is logging in this fashion just a pipe dream?
I have a class for serial communications (call it CSerial), based on a property value (CSerial.LogLevel), I'd like to produce various levels of logging information about data sent and received to the serial port.Given that it's a reusable class, there's no way of telling whether the log data should be sent to the console, a text box, a file, etc. This would be determined by the application using the class, so I can't write all of the different output options into a method in the class.Question:What's the best way to implement this? I have some ideas:1. Create a Log method and then "override" it in my main application to handle the most suitable form of output? Can I "override" a method as part of an instance? Or do I need to create a new class that inherits my original one, override the method there and then create an instance of my new class?
Im trying to login to my website with vb.net (without the use of java script).webbrowser.documents.forms(0).submit..All i can find on the internet is to use that there to click the login button but it doesn't work.I also found this for filling in the login forms but im having trouble understanding how it works.[code]So if anyone could explain to me how to fill a form or how to click a submit button.
I have a requirement to log on to a web site using a vb.net console application. It's not an FTP site, that would be too easy. It's an email site. I haven't a clue how to do it
I've been assigned to start a new Logging Project from zero in VB.NET.The final exit of the main project is information organized in paragraphs like this:
[code]...
Every paragraph correspond to a database connection. Every connection is made with an entire diferent database.i need my logging project to save everything the user does, so the logging exit would be like the system exit but with exceptions and other important information like this: Paragraph's title 1 Paragraph's content 1.Paragraph's title 2 User wasn't able to see this information because an exception ocurred: System.WhateverException:couldn't connect to WCF.as you can see the exit is the same but i need to create a detail log because the information is delicate and the DBA needs to now wich user did what and what was the response of the system. Also i need it to be and independant project so i can re-use it in another projects. Seeing the final exit of both the main project and the logging project, what would you recommend me to use for logging in .NET?

I have a GUI class and a database class. I do something like:
Dim db as Database = getDatabaseObject(logTxtBox) db.executeNonQuery("some update command here")
Within executeNonQuery I connect to the db, execute the command, disconnect and catch the exceptions. logTxtBox is the GUI txt box I want log messages written to. Currently it writes something like:
I have a popup login usercontrol in a masterpage, once logged in I want another usercontrol on a content page to appear automatically, currently it only appears if I manually refresh the page.
