how to access an item like a button in a windows application?For example, I would like to create an application that would be able to look at notepad's file menu and "know" that file, edit, etc on the file menu are clickable objects and identify (expose) these objects to my application.

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

I have created a list of another class and loaded the list with data. using breakpoints I can see that the data is loading and visible in my form page. However, when I attempt to access the list using a For Each loop, I get an error saying that "Value of type Customer can not be converted to Integer"I am trying to follow examples from tutorials on accessing list elements, but they are never lists of objects, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
My class that I have made a list of:
Public Class Customer
Private m_firstName As String

I've hit a problem with the way I am using generics and I suspect that my design isn't quite right. I have a base class
AbstractBaseClass
inherited by
InheritingOneClass
[code]....
I have a generic list IList(of T as AbstractBaseClass) which I am populating with instances of the various inheriting classes. Now I can cycle through the list BUT depending on which subtype the item is, I want to pass the item to various functions (or instantiate various classes) which access properties/methods of the inheriting Class. I don't really want to have to use a Select Case and list all the potential types of the Inheriting classes. Is there a mechanism I can put in place to automate this?

View 9 RepliesI have a scenario that has been troubling me for years. If you have to connect to a database or other service (like a web service) using a username and password, where would be the safest place to store this information if you are connecting through a .NET assembly? I understand that you would have to encrypt the password, but then you run into a kind of chicken-egg problem -- fine -- you can encrypt it, but then where do you put the key?In .NET, you can't hardcode the password because you can decompile .NET code.
I looked at using assembly based rights with Isolated Storage, but MS recommends against storing unencrypted secret items there because priveledged users can gain access, so again, we are moving the problem from point A to point B. So for examplem, a domain admin with no need to know about the information in a database would be able to get access because of the ability to be an admin on any workstation on the domain.You can encrypt App.Config and Web.Config, but I believe priveledges users can access the keys. I think you run into the same problem with DPAPI.
I had considered storing the passwords, encrypted in a remoted database and getting them through OS authentication, but our department prohibits the storage of passwords on database servers. I am pretty sure I am stuck and wanted confirmation.

View 2 RepliesI'm a first time visitor and poster, but I'm definitly going to stick around. I'm running an old version of Visual Studio .Net Academic 2002 and the .Net framework 2.0. I'm stuck on an issue regarding the deployment of a few programs I've thrown together. They all work fine on my development machine, but the problem they all use SQL Server databases, and I can't find any specific help on deploying a windows application with a database on a machine that isn't set up basically just like my development machine.
I know that I need the .net runtime bootstrapper on the target machine, so I can run basic programs that dont use SQL databases. That's no problem. But what about programs that make heavy use of databases? How does one go about deploying it on target machines? Is there a SQL server bootstrapper?

I didn't know where to post this question so I hope I put it in the right forum...I am not new to Visual Basic, however I am definitely not an advanced user.

I'm running into some strange exceptions coming from a few workstations that are running one of our Windows Forms Applications. The application is written for .NET Framework 2.0 and coded in VB.NET. We've re-imaged the machines a couple of time but not matter what we do, the same problem occurs. We are not seeing this problem with any other machines besides these two. Below is the exception message and the Stack Trace. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this may be happening?
