How can one obtain his/her database password with code while the admin privileges are proved to be sufficient by windows authentication?
View 1 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetThreadPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericIdentity("UserName"), Nothing))

I am running a client-server application and am having problems with privileges (I assume). The application is developed using 2005 Express. The Client is running Win XP Home whilst the server is running Win 2003. When the user on the client has Admin rights on the local machine, everything is OK; however when the user has only User rights, an error occurs: VB will not run.

I think this has to do with a third party OCX control. Below is the output when the application starts. When I install my application on a stand-alone PC or most PCs in a networked environment it runs fine. When I go to some offices that have very tightly controlled networks I have problems.
The set up won't run under the user name so someone from IT must log in as administrator. They run the set up and the application installs and runs fine. The IT person logs off and the user tries to run it and the application won't even start. An error box appears and below is the report. SCANNERLib.DLL is the third party control. Maybe there is something I'm missing when I compile. Maybe the DLL registering funny under the Admin rights. [Code]

View 8 RepliesI'm creating a program that users will login to and I'm trying to make different user levels. I have the login and registration part done. But i need the user levels part. I know i can use a billion if then statements for each admin i have but that will be thousands lines of code afterwards. So I thought up maybe i can check the column name admin and see if its set to true. Or even check another table to see if the user is in that table then load a different form.

Also I'm using Visual Studio 2008 express and was wondering if this would work also even though its for 2005 Do to I see the flaw in hard coding it into the program. Any hacker who de .exe it can get a hold of my information and use it against me. And if not how would i go about in 2008 and use it. [URL]
Just a pretty question that seem to me a bit difficult to do it. Well, I have a form called customers. Login form and mainform. So my clients want to have an option that explains this: If a user enters information in the customer form, then that information has to be confirmed by admins panel.

System.Environment.OSVersion
Can anyone tell me if there's a list somewhere where I can find what that generates for different OS versions.
Specifically I am trying to detect if a user is running Windows 7 64-bit.
How do I detect if an arbitrary user is an administrator on a machine? I have the user's domain and username but not password. The user is NOT the currently logged in user,so I can't just use WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.
View 3 RepliesI have an application that when it starts, it checks the internet to see if a new version is available. My problem is this: If there is no net connection, the program 'pauses' as it tries to check for the new version.

I'm trying to work out how to detect if the user has pressed an f key I have this so far:

End Sub
This detects when the user presses a character key and outputs it via Label1.text, but it doesnt work on all keys?
Dim hostname As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(TextBoxIP.Text)
Dim ip As IPAddress() = hostname.AddressList
TextBoxIP.Text = ip(0).ToString()
I have a windows form with the code above to get the ip address of the user. what would be the easiest way to get the country location of the user? based on the IP in the textbox. The solution doesnt need to be 100% accurate but good enough to work most of the time. the simpler the better.is there are any work arounds or built in fuctions for pulling a users country or language, this would be better than creating or managing a giant database.
is there a way to detect if the user is shuting down?
View 1 RepliesNo doubt a simple question, but I'm a beginner (I learnt GW BritingASIC in 3 months long ago - but after 6 months grappling with vb 2008 I am still bewidered).
I have written a program that asks the user at run time to choose 1 of 40 buttons. These are themselves defined at run time. Whichever button is chosen the same algoritm will run (using different data). Question: To save writing the same Button_Click routine 40 times, what code should I write - and where in the program - to detect which of the 40 the user has chosen?

How would I go about having my program monitor all open (or at least the current active) Internet Explorer windows and their current URLs? Basically, I want my program (running in system tray) to monitor the web page that is being viewed in an Internet Explorer window (NOT an integrated web browser control), and if it detects the loading of a specific URL address, execute whatever code.
View 6 RepliesAdding How would you detect if the user is using the computer? I want a program to detect if the user is using the computer (i.e. mouse and keyboard movements), and if the user doesn't type or move the mouse for a specific amount of time, it executes a command. Normally I would do this with the Application.Idle, but I want it to be detected throughout the system. Any starters?
