C# - Requesting Windows Remote Assistance Via Button?
Aug 7, 2009
I want to make a simple application on Windows XP with a single button which says "Help" - that will launch Windows Messenger's Remote Assistance and connect to my MSN Messenger ID - this is detailed here: [URL]. This is for my Dad or Mom who sometimes get confused when the Firefox UI resets itself or something other similarly catastrophic happens. I am familiar with the Windows programming model but am unsure on how to go about it - I would like to do this in C# or even VB.net.
I'm creating a VB program to run a psychology experiment and I'm pretty close to done but am running into a few problems. The experiment consists of 8 phases that display on a single form but with different stimuli (pictures and text) being displayed on the form. So for example, at the top of the form would appear "dog" and below that in the center of the screen would appear the word "cat" and then the subject would select one of two option buttons, one being on the bottom left of the screen and one being on the bottom right of the screen.
One option button is labeled "Similar" and the other is labeled "Opposite". I also have corrective feedback displayed after each choice is made. Here are the things I have not figured out
Ok, here is the scoop. I would like to know if someone would provide remote assistance in restoring contols for visual basic ultimate 2010. I have had this version for less than a week and the controls are dispapearing to make it function. I don't know how to restore functions yet, due to the fact of beginners luck.
I want to add a control in winforms that drops like combo box but can show data like datagridview. I have seen this control in an application but not able to find a way how to do it. (Pic attached)
I am trying to get the id from a url and send it to the client side this is what I did. This is my url : [URL]
Code behind Public Partial Class Edit Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load End Sub Private _myId As String = Request.QueryString("id") Public Property myId() As String [Code] .....
Error Request is not available in this context This is also what I get when I move the private prop to page_load() "private " is not valid on local variable declaration -
Here is the answer Public Partial Class Edit Inherits System.Web.UI.Page Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load MyIdVal = Request.QueryString("id") End Sub Private _myIdVal As String Public Property MyIdVal() As String [Code] .....
I would like to check if a URL exists -- without requesting the file. The program needs to check if a PDF or Excel spreadsheet exists at a particular URL. If it does, it might want to download the file, but it should not download it every time.
I currently use the WebBrowser.Navigate method to do this, but it always downloads the file. But I don't want to actually download the .pdf or .xls file, I just want to determine if the URL exists.
For those that are having problems using VB with other technologies or finding samples/content or requesting new VB Language features then there is another way to provide this feedback to Microsoft so that we can work to provide useful content.[URL]..These posts will be actively monitored by Microsoft product team members who are interested to hear from developers.
I am trying to overcome a problem I am having with remote desktop.Basically I have 2 machines running in different locations. I use remote desktop to access one of them (the "Remote Machine") from the other.("My PC")The "Remote Machine" is performing automated tasks that require the screen to be active, not the user login screen.
When I do so the Remote Machine logs off and presents the normal windows login screen.When I am finished reviewing the remote machine I log off and then I need to log back into the "remote" machine. It has no monitior but I can log in by pressing the enter key which sends a keypress to log into the user account( there is only one). In fact I do this the other way around. I press the enter key on the "Remote Machine" and this logs the user back in - terminating the remote session on "MyPC".
The problem is I have to physically go to the Remote Machine to press this enter key.This is a hassle - One solution is to remotely re-boot the remote pc but the lead time involved is too great.I am unable to fix this problem by tweaking setting or registry hacks so I guess the solution must be to cause the remote user to log back in programatically.I am an experienced VB user but I have never worked outside the windows environment. Ideally I would like to programmtically send a keystroke "{enter}" to the login screen but this doesn't work.
Here is what I am doing: I have several servers that are used to run a piece of software. The software is started using a scheduled task. I can have up to three instances of the software running using three scheduled tasks, and three logged in users. Currently I am using a separate program running on two additional servers to make sure these two additional users are logged in, the scheduled task will not run if the user is not logged in. This separate program uses a saved Remote Desktop Session to make sure the users are logged in.
how can I get the path of Windows on a remote server. I know that for the pc that is running the application I can do System.Runtime.Interop Services.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory but on a remote server, how can I do?
I am working on a program that needs to fetch remote windows pc's particular registry keys and then be able to modify them (for example the Run registry key). From what I have been reading I would need to use the OpenRemoteBaseKey to do so.
What I am not sure about is how do I have the program search the network for all of the Windows computers and generate a checklist when the computer names and IP addresses are not known ?
also for the OpenRemoteBaseKey to work do I have to know the password for the administrator account for each PC ?
Am trying the following to start a windows service
Try Dim myController As New ServiceController("FCR GEFU Server 1", "10.1.1.208") myController.Start() TextBox1.Text = "Service Started" Catch ex As Exception TextBox1.Text = ex.Message End Try
Am getting the following error:Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer '10.1.1.208'. This operation might require other privileges.How should I provide the log in credentials for the remote PC !?

im trying to create a quick method to enable one of my "less" talented receptionist staff to establich a remote desktop connection to my computer. I have done some google-ing and I have found that its possible but how would you do it?
I've created an executable that's called by another app for processes that require UAC elevated privileges. If I build this project with the below manifest it requests UAC fine, if I add this projects output to my setup project it creates it without UAC?[code]....
First good Monday to all and thanks for the suggestions on path I got it working somewhat.Problem: When a user clicks the comment button I would like outlook client to open so they can submit their comments. We run outlook client 2010 and exchange 2010 server. The Network Administrator is somewhat helpful but I am responsible for coding. Code specifics needed, did some research but not a lot of examples. I originally designed a cute little form with pages that folks could view to answer questions about how to use office software, the boss saw it and now they want more.
I have a requirement that i want to kill the process in the remote server and then delete some log files and update the registry editor and then finally log off and log in to the remote System. Now, I log off the remote system from my application. But i want to login to the system with valid user credentials from my application.
i am writing some applications for windows phone on VB i want to connect on a remote database in order to exchange data but i do not want to use WCF (Like this : WCF) [URL] but i want to use a simple MySql because i can easilly find some free hosts !
I am trying to build a windows app that uses a remote SQL server to login to the system. I have setup the SQL server on a vmware machine all the conections work fine I have created a form Login with TextBoxUser and TextBoxPass and a submit button.I have added the database conection and created a query called Login

I'm currently working for a client who owns a custom developed ASP/VB6/SQL2k5 3-tiered web application... The application has been developed over the course of 10 years by several different companies... I have a team who is in the process of rewriting components of this application over to a ASP.NET/C# applications, leaving the structure of the back end database in its current state (ie: no redesign of the database)... As you know, this is a very long tedious process when performed correctly... Our client is looking for a "wizard" type conversion tool or process instead of the redesign of the web UI and business objects... Several people on my team (including my architect and I) continue to tell our client this is not possible, that a full rewrite of the application is required... Can someone just validate my thoughts on this? Here are some of the technical specifications of the legacy application:
· VB COM objects are heavily reliant upon ADOR recordsets · ~150k lines of VB code spread across 6 COM objects
I am having trouble in creating a login form in my windows application.If i create a login form with its database local to the system ,it works fine .But my requirement is that the database is placed on a remote server so that the login is secured.When the user tries to use the application he first needs to login.When he puts the username and password in the login form it should send the data to a remote server for authentication.
I am creating an authentication server for some projects I'm working on. This authentication server works by receiving and transmitting data to users trying to authenticate. The user can send data to the server succesfully but when sending back it requires port forwarding. I read a way that I would not require port forwarding by using reverse connection but I have no idea how to get it working. I found a tutorial and tried to implement but when it tries to connect to read the stream it says the connection is refused.
Basically all it is is a program that outputs a file with variables users input.I'm having a big problem getting the input variables into the correct places. I suppose I can't tie them in. For example.I have a textbox labeled textbox1 and I want to use the input from textbox1 in the code below
xWrite.Writeline("The Value is" & textbox1 & "for field 1")
I need assistance with a program we have to do in programming class. It is due soon and I am stuck on how to code it and if the extra button is necessary or not. The game is called the Pig Game where each turn, a player repeatedly rolls a die until either a 1 is rolled or the player holds and scores the sum of the rolls (i.e. the turn total). At any time during a player's turn, the player is faced with two options:roll - If the player rolls a
1- the player scores nothing and it becomes the next player's turn.
2 -the number is added to the player's turn total and the player's turn continues.hold - The turn total is added to the player's score and it becomes the next player's turn.The first player to score 100 or more points wins. More info is here: url...
I have no idea where to go from my current position. I think I coded most of it though. I will attach the files in a zip folder for all to see my form and code.The main problem here is: I just need the code to be fixed, so it works and so I don't fail the class. Attaching the new version in a zip file would be nice but you don't have to do that, or you could just tell me the code and form layout directly on here!
seriously struggling with this one bit of a program im creating. Im trying to simulate a moving queue, using a number of pictureboxes (controlled by Timers). Once a picturebox vanishes, another appears in front of it to symbolise movement throughout the queue.Anway... Im struggling with LOOPS! I cant seem to make the funtions repeat and I need this urgent due to a deadline in 16 hours time Background Info: The form will run for 60 seconds, after which anotehr form will loads (MorrisonsQueueSummary).Here is the syntax so far:vb.net
Public Class morrisons Private Sub FormTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MainTimer.Tick
