I am converting VC++ to VB.NET and I cannot find a way to get the group "comment" in .NET. I can get the list of groups which the user belongs to with:
Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups
However the group "comment" does not seem available. The VC++ uses Win32 NetGroupGetInfo() to get the info.
I want to divide the content in my application to groups each group has its own rectangle border with the group name located at the top border, i've seen it before and i'm not sure what is the correct name of this control, anyone knows what I'm talking about ? EDIT: Ok, I found the Groupbox Control but how do i use it? should i just drag other controls inside it or i should add controls directly into it?

View 2 RepliesI am using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement to try to add a local account to the local administrators group with the following code but am getting the error below on the group.Members.Add(usr) line. Both usr and group are created as objects and if I create a Test group, I can add the user to the Test group. I know the group object is the local administrators group and not the domain group because i changed the description on the local administratrors group and the group object is correct so it appears to be something specific to the local administrators group.

This is working fine.Is there an easy way to convert this to a display name (e.g. "Richard Gadsden") like the one that appears on the top of my start menu in XP?If I have to, I guess I can go through System.DirectoryServices and query into ADSI, but surely there's an easier way?

We're in a strange situation with a legacy winforms VB.NET 1.1 application using ASMX web services. Trying to send a user Token from a WindowsIdentity object as a parameter to a WebMethod. I will be adding a 'HACK: comment. System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token
The token is of type IntPtr, the first problem is the WSDL being generated doesn't support IntPtr with the error of 'unsupported type'I'm aware this is a big WTF question and sounds insecure, so any simple helpful alternatives are welcome but there are a lot of constraints on how we can change this system, including complications with the hosting environment. So I would just like to get our piece of data over to the web service to save a lot of other headaches.

View 1 RepliesI'm running an application under an account that is not the account logged-on to the PC.
Within the application I need check if the logged-on user is a member of the Administrators group. Below is the code I'm using. From what I've read, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() should return an object associated with the logged-on user. It doesn't, it returns the same information as the call to System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Which is the information associated to the ID running the application, not the logged-on user.

If we need to comment more than one line we'll use the following syntax in C#.NET.

this.button1 = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();

this.textBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();

Im working on a comment control. I mean a control, that has an input area for text and images and a line or an arrow for pointing to something. It should a bit look like the comment control in Adobe Acrobat.
My first idea is to put four standard controls together:
1) a RichTextBox to hold text and images
2) a Panel to hold the RichTextBox and some GrabRectangles around it (the Panel needs to be a bit greater than the RTB for the GrabRectangles)
3) a little Panel (3x3 or 4x4 Pixel) to hold another GrabRectangle for placing and resizing the line (the arrow)
4) a LineShape for pointing (its startpoint on the RTB and endpoint on the little Panel)
I have added a drawing.My question is: what can I use to put these controls together? Another Panel would probably do a good job. But it would cover a lot of additional area around the contained controls and hide other controls, so that they dont get mouse clicks.
