Creating Settings For Multiple Users
Jun 28, 2011
I have a form which has a textbox named "textbox1", and a button named "Button 1". Button 1 is meant to be a submission for textbox1 (i.e. when button1 is pressed, the value of textbox1 is saved and remembered). I want the value of textbox1 to be remembered on any computer, but I need it to be update-able too. I tried using settings to do this like so:
Private Sub Form3_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.TextBox1.Text = My.Settings.TextBox1
[Code]....
but the problem in doing this is it only works for the current user. When the application is then put on another computer the value is blank.

I am writing an App that automates file uploads from users desktops to a specified file server. On the first run of the app, I need the user to select a file server and save it for all other users of that PC. I thought I could do this
with application settings but it appears it is not suitable for this purpose. I need suggestions on how I can make this work.
I thought about a registry setting but the user may not have permission to edit the registry based on group policy/security settings.
I also thought about creating an XML file with the file server name that I can read from the installed project directory, but I was hoping there was a more streamlined way.

I'm writing a windows application and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. It wouldn't be a difficult program, except that I'd like to support more than one user and with each user I need to have many, many different settings change instead of, say, two or three. I'm wondering if there's a standard ideal way of storing large amounts of settings for different users?
I'll try to describe what I'm trying to do here..At the moment I have an Access database (for easy deployment) with about 60-something tables. 66 tables are named after books, and each have a different number of chapters. Each of those tables contains one row for every chapter plus a CheckState field that contains a 0 or a 1. I also have a simple Users table with a UserName and UserID field, and another AllBooks table with data for every book, like the name and the number of chapters.
When I user is selected, I have a listbox that displays every book (taken from the AllBooks table) and then a checkedlistbox that displays the chapters of the selected book and automatically checks off different boxes depending on the CheckState field.
So but I'm a bit stumped on how to implement different users... instead of tons and tons of different tables should I have a different table for each user that have 60-something columns...? I dont know enough about relational databases to make the right call.

I have a simple application with a main form and an options dialogue. The options dialogue has various TextBox's and drop downs where the user can make changes and OK/Cancel buttons for when they're done.On the FormClosing event of the main form, I save these settings to an XML file. When the program is first run, the settings are loaded back into the options dialogue. The application reads settings directly from the controls in the options dialogue during run time.

I am working on an virtual operating system. And I want the user to be able to change background, and at the same time save it! So, the next time he opens the application, the background is saved and changed.
I know that I have do this through project > settings, but I don't know how to program it. I have managed to allow the user to change background, but dont how to save it. Could anyone solve this little problem for me?

how do I do this properly:
vb
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[code]....
I would like to store some app data in a 'default system folder', so when I launch the program it will know where to look for it's own settings.As a matter of fact I only need to store there a path to the files used by the program. Users will be able to choose where to put them (simplified installation). The program has to know where to look for them.
Am I creating the folder properly? As you can see I'm referring to C:... The folder structure presented here comes from my laptop running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the C:... can be somehow defined by some sort of a system 'shortcut'. Following the above example the program would look for those in C:... , but maybe I can use something like ~~ default.app.settings.My Program Name ~~~. How does it work? Have no idea how to call it properly, but I'm sure you will know what I mean.

I am having trouble creating inactive users in VB. I watched the tutorial [URL]but it is for C# and the code behind won't work in VB. I need the users to be inactive when they register and send the administrator an email saying someone has registered to be approved.

My project is to create a windows application for communicating between users on our LAN, to both send and receive short text messages. I am attaching a rough draft of my Form in Basic, with notes about what I want in the different parts. I am only trying to find out if my goals are possible in VB-2010, before I invest a lot of time searching for and experimenting with the code... so here are my initial questions:
1) Is it possible to build such an application in Visual Basic 2010, and would I be able to use the free "Express" version I have downloaded, or would I need to purchase the full version?
2) Basically, each user would run the EXE program which is the main window (like the attached), and would see all users connected to the LAN (and listening on the specified port) in the ListBox... would receive incoming messages in the top window (output from a console module I have already got working), and be able to send to anyone on the LAN using the bottom window... Is all of this possible in VB-2010?
3) Is there any complications making this application work well on both Windows XP and Windows 7 (64bit) user machines?
I don't expect this to be easy by any means, I just want to know if I'm embarking on something that is possible or not.

So I had a report I needed to create and needed to get the total users per job for a system that I was not (and still am not) very familiar with. I asked the developer for that system for the code and was told it was no easy task. He sent me a query that didn't look anything like a user count. I told him I needed something to get all the users for each and every job in order to put it in the report I was building for one of the clients. I was told that wouldn't really work. I looked at his code as it worked on a per job basis.
The following is an example of the "logic" used to get the user count per job in asp.net:
TRUNCATE TABLE1
INSERT username INTO TABLE1 FROM QUERY1 WHERE CRITERIA MET AND job = *passedinjob
INSERT username INTO TABLE1 FROM QUERY2 WHERE CRITERIA MET AND job = *passedinjob AND username NOT IN TABLE1
SELECT username FROM TABLE1 and put in a dataset
[Code] .....
There were no UNION statements in the query1 or query2, there was no select count(*) from table, there was no recordset.count..

I haven't been doing a programming for awhile now. But, I was a VB programmer before. I will be creating a tool to log issues encountered by the users of our system. It will be a web based. I'm planning to create it in VB.Net. Any resources that you could share is greatly appreciated. I'm looking for a ready program that I could start with to speed up my programming.

I am currently creating an application to track timekeeping (a clock in/out system) and I am trying to work out the best way to do this.
I have a Main Form which contains buttons to ;
- Log in
- Out for Break
- In from Break
- Log out
When a user presses the "log in" button the logon form appears, the user then enters their username and password. What happens next is where I would like the help.
Process is as follows:Click Logon Enter Username/Password Check Logon Form for errors (eg no password etc) Check User is in Database (using SQL query) If user is in DB and username and pass are ok then refer back to the main form to perform Stored Procedure for what the user wants to do (eg logon or or out for break etc). Set label on main form to show user as logged on My question is should I be using a public variable and calling the main form again or in the user logon form having 4 options and using an IF ELSE to select the appropriate Stored Procedure?

I have a program that uses sql for the database. The issue im having is when two users attempt to update the same record then the update from second user overwrites the record from the first user. I believe this problem comes from the the way i attempt to preserve existing text in the fields.
My thought on whats going on is: If the form has fields A and B. Both users start with a blank form. User 1 adds a record with an entry in field A. When user 2 goes to update the record with an entry in form B, the program overwrites user 1s field A entry with the blank field A from user 2.
Is there a way to force it to grab the most recent data before it tries to add/update? I thought about resetting the digit combo box to the same digit which would trigger the change event for that field. but the issue with that is it would also wipe out the current entries on the form.
Below is the change event for the digit combobox, the main submit procedure, and the subprocedure for one of the days.
[code]
Private Sub cboDigit_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cboDigit.SelectedIndexChanged, cboOffice.SelectedIndexChanged, dtEndDate.ValueChanged, dtStartDate.ValueChanged

I am on the brink of developping an application for myself and some collegues at work. I will use VB 2005 and SQL server 2000 or 2005.
Here is my question: When I build the connection string do I have to use only 1 database user for all of the users of the application or does each user need to have its own database user in SQL Server?

I need to add multiple users to active directory in vb.net what would be my best way to do this? Although i see some dotnet classes for them its hard figuring this out for my first time. Mostly what must i be aware of when trying to add them? Multiple opinions on the matter would be fine but I really just wish to add users with basic information like firstname and lastname and maybe to specific group.

I am creating a form that creates new users and then updates them to a dataset, I have done this ok, but I am getting a runtime error when I delete a record. Please see below the exception being thrown
"Update requires a valid DeleteCommand when passed DataRow collection with deleted rows"
My code below
CODE:
So I know I need to add a delete command, but how do I write this in code and do I write it in the saveitem click event? I guess I would because the app crashes when I click save to update the dataset.

In my program, I have recently found it necessary to include a settings window. Here, there are two "Combo Boxes" which the user can click on and decide what to select. For example, in FireFox, under Startup and "When Firefox starts: you have a selection. This is what I want integrated into my program. Also, when the preferences have been selected, they can click an "apply" button in which their input can be recorded into a settings file. At this point I do not know where to go. Another important thing you should know is that all of the input is based on "Yes/No (Boolean).

I know my Question was asked maybe 10000 times before, but i really did not take the chance to search the forum coz i really short of time.
I have *.mdb DataBase with 20 tables each table have more than 10 fields, i'm trying to automate the MDB file from a network like that 5 PCS + One vb.net exe program (5 users) working on the same time on the exe that is connected to the database , my questions are :
1) How much risk is it to put the database into one (shared) folder and connect it to the program ?
2) What is the best way to establish this method ?
3) Is there any alternatives ?

i have a program where the high scores will be saved in a txt file. of course, if the file is already in use, saving the text file won't work. is there an if statement i can do to check if it is in use? or could i check the last access time, and the last modify time and if the modify time happened after the access, i know its closed, and if the access time happened after the last modify time it is still in use?

I am developing an access database that will be shared with multiple users.I don't want the users to access the database directly so I will have them enter new data on a data access page. The data access page is stored on a Microsoft Share Point web page, and the database is stored on a network drive.Here is my problem: When new data is entered on the web page I need it to trigger a WillChangeRecordset event; however, I have not been successful because the web page does not declare a new instance of a recordset object.At a minimum I need the new data to be processed before the web page appends the new data to the table.

I am developing a Visual Basic .NET application to be used by the staff of a small training centre nearby. The front-end (UI, menus, etc.) will all be in VB .NET, and there will be a back-end database for storing all of the required data, such as student records and meeting information. What I would like to know is if it's possible to use a Microsoft Access database for this purpose, and have it accessible by all the staff in the centre (on the same network) at the same time. For example, would I be able to put the database in a shared network folder, and have a copy of the VB application on each PC that would all be able to read/edit/add to the database?

We are four in a team using a data entry application created using VB and MS Access as backend DB. The application is installed on all our PCs, but uses my PC as server. We enter data at same time. The application has been slow since we started using it. We were advised to increase the internet bandwidth, which we doubled, but the application is still slow. What can be done to increase the speed of the application to make work move faster?

Maximized Window Size - For Multiple Users (Computers/Monitors)
View 1 Replies
Jul 12, 2009
Say you have a form that is designed to be maximized on startup. Now, on the programmer's computer (mine), it looks good. But going from user to user, the dimensions of monitors, as well as the resolution each user has on their computer/monitor will vary.Here is the question: If you want to have an application designed to be in a maximized window, how do you ensure that it looks the same on each and every computer/monitor that will be using it. Controls, and everything else that would normally be on the form.
