I know this probably doesn't belong here, but on my computer, most of my stuff is on a user that is not my name. I got the computer from my friend named John and the user I have all of my stuff on is john. If I change the username is it possible that things coulds get messed up? Like could it make programs not be able to find certain files?
View 5 RepliesWith the help of NetFileEnum or Openfiles.exe of system32, we can get the username who has opened the shared files. Is there any API function or any exe files in any programming language like c#, vb.net, visual c++ to find out who is the user to create, rename, or delete shared files or folders on the network?

I would like to find all the "About" files of all programs stored on my hard drive. If you open a program, click on help and select "About". It provides the name, version and date written etc. I would like to extract and store in DB. The store in DB part, I have no issues.

This may seem like a silly question, but where do you find the icons that you use for your programs? I know there are tons of resources online that can be used but it seems that most are hardly "professional".

I've mad a program that produces barcodes using crystal reports and I'm having trouble trying to get the dll file for the barcode to be moved into the folder where crystal reports looks for this.I'm using a development project to create an installer for the program in vb 2010.i have tried just copying the dll file during the program start up if its not in the correct location but get the error saying that i dont have a high enough permission level to do this, would registering the dll file work seeing as its a 3rd party file and crystal reports expects it in a specific location?

View 3 RepliesI am writing a program that stores filenames, along with a lot of information about the files in a database. I need to be able to open these files in three different programs from my application. One of these programs, AutoCAD is the default program for the files, but the other two are more difficult. These two need to open the file in a program that is not the default for the file type. Eventually, I'd also like to allow users to point the application to the instance of AutoCAD, MasterWorks, or FeatureCAM that they want to open. I have found articles that explain how to open a file in a default application and articles that tell me how to open any application with a file name, but only 1 suggestion of how to control the program used to open the file. For some reason I cannot get AutoCAD to recognize the file I feed in if I use this method though, so I think it's wrong. This is the method I found that doesn't work:
Start("D:Program Files (x86)AutoCAD 2007acad.exe", file)file is a variable that contains my file name. Since this works fine when I take the program path out, I know the filename is correct, but AutoCAD says it is not.
How do you write config files for vb programs? Like .xml files, Seen some examples but didn't fully grasp them. Say I had a program that launched programs and I wanted it to save the:Program Name, Program Location, Program Site, etc..So I am guessing the xml would looking something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Configuration>
<Path>
[code]....
how to load the settings from these configs. The reason I want to write it to an external config is because I plan to add an updating feature and I want the configs outside of the program.
I'm developing the program which opens files/programs that I have selected and checked with checkbox1, 2 and 3(i haven't coded the tihrd one yet, but it doesn't affect). The first program runs instantly and others run after X interval if it's wrote in textbox4 and checked by checkbox4. So Checkbox is like an activator for this interval. If checkbox4 isn't checked then every program should run instantly. The problem is that checkbox4 isn't doing a job. Program activates the interval if there are somekind of numbers in textbox4. It doen't matter that is the checkbox4 checked or not.

I currently have two programs that need to comunicate one with another. It doesn't have to be something complicated, it's just passing data from one to another, all very simple. I was thinking of using .net remoting, but I've heard there's a new thing WCF. Should I go for the .net remoting or try WCF? Or is there something simpler to use?
edit: Both applications are simple, I don't want to have anything to do with IIS, services and such.

My program is almost done now and I'm about a week from releasing it, but I want to make sure no one cracks it!
I guess I need some way of adding serials or something and also making sure two serials aren't being used on different ip's.To use my program you have to be connected to the internet, if not it won't do you any good anyway, so it's no problem if it closes if it can't get a connection from a website or anything
Question I: How do I make a username and password save to a .txt and if it the txt exits, then it will fill the information in the login box again?
Question II:Can I encrypt it easily and decrypt it easily or will that require some advanced coding?
I've been programming in VB6 for years, I have decided to take the plunge into VB.net and C# 2010 but having a little problem understanding the big picture.In VB6 I could create user controls and save them as .ocx files, then use those .ocx's in other programs or on html pages. I am sure the same idea is present in VS 2010, I'm just not seeing it.Can anyone recommend a book or tutorial that will show me the big picture of all the aspects of the .net environment?

View 1 RepliesI have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?
i want to make a simple program where i can add/edit or delete a shortcut from an installed programs in my computer.

View 1 RepliesI have written multiple programs in the past that deal with cad data. Points, lines, arcs, etc. For each program I ended up creating slightly different versions of some really base classes like a class that defines a point:
<Serializable()> Public Class Point
Public x As Double = 0
Public y As Double = 0
Public z As Double = 0
End Class
My question is how would I use that class in such a way that it could be in a namespace and imported into any future project that I write?
Ok so I can't figure out how to make it so that on my application users cannot just click "submit" without choosing a radio/option button & filling out the username + password field ?? Using VB 08 BTW.
