I'm trying to set ACL's on a folder using Directory.SetAccessControl. More specifically, I want to grant "Users" full control on a folder. AddFileSecurity works perfectly. AddFolderSecurity does not. It's result is that "Users" will get added to the folder's ACL but "Full Control" is not checked off (nor are any other permissions).

I have an application that is writing a comma separated values file. How would I go about altering the permissions of that file from .NET - for example to give read-only permissions to a particular active directory group?
View 4 RepliesI need to create a directory with the permissions restricted to all users but only the program can modify in it. I want the program to create new files and write text in this texts files, but nobody should see or modify the content of this files and even better if nobody could see either inside the directory itself.
View 7 RepliesI have been working on creating a small application we can run that will add permissions to a folder during an installation of a new application. The application requires read/write access to the folder and all subfolders. For whatever reason I have been instructed to include this in and install package that will be pushed out using SMS. Below is a sample of the method I use to add the user to the folder and give the appropriate rights to that user:

This works fine adding the user account to the folder and with with appropriate rights. I need it to give rights to the folder I select and all subfolders and files, This is where I am stuck. Does anyone know how to grant permission to a selected directory and all subfolders and files?

View 1 RepliesI've developed a Windows Form application that contains a function where a user will query AD using a users last name in an attempt to get a list of all domain users that contain all or part of the last name. This function works well if the user is an administrator, however in some cases a department manager, who only exist in the Domain User AD group, needs to use this function. When the user with only Domain User rights uses the function all queries come back empty. I can take the same application to another domain and user with just Domain User rights can use the function just fine.
I assume that the first domain that I mentioned might be using Group Policy to prevent Domain Users from making a query against AD.
Is it truly a Group Policy or some other setting within the domain that prevents this?
The current administrator of the first domain I spoke of is fairly new and has no idea of the workings of AD or Group Policy. All domains that I mentioned here I believe are running Windows 2003 Domains.

I have a dialog with an OK, Apply and Cancel button. I want the apply button to have the same effect as the OK button, but the dialog should not close. Can you stop the dialog from closing when you set a dialog result value (as I want to when clicking the Apply button)? Basically I have some settings that are passed into the constructor of the dialog. The dialog then updates its controls with these settings. At the moment any settings that are changed in the dialog are applied when the dialog closes via the OK dialog result (i.e. the code that calls the dialog also applies the changes). This is the way I would prefer it to happen, but the only way I can think of to get what I want to work is to apply the settings changes before I set the dialog result value (i.e. in the dialog code). This essentially makes dialogresult useless in my case as I cant use it to get the effect I am after.

I'm creating a windows application form in vs 2005 for a client.. It's a data-tracking application. I have a few questions.The client wants a logon screen to be added into the application (at least any way or method that'll ensure that security was applied). My question in regards to this topic would be; Is it necessary to create a logon screen (or even a user authorization) for a windows form? I realize that in a webform project, security should always be considered and should be applied in all areas. Although with a windows form, I thought you can authorize who can gain access to the application by defining which workstations to install the final production release of the application (when its time to deploy the file). Is this correct?
My next question is, what is the best method to exporting data from EXCEL to SQL tables? I have many Excel files that I'd like to take portions of data from each file and insert them to there proper table.
The last question is about deploying a windows form application. As you can tell, I don't have much experience when it comes to developing Windows Form projects. Anyways back to the topic, When deploying a project, does it provide a .EXE file (installation package) to install the application on the workstation? Or is it a .EXE file of the application, where you can run it and no need to install anything?
I am working on applying date validation to excel cell(range) from VB.NET.
Private Sub DateValidExcelRule(ByVal worksheet As SpreadsheetGear.IWorksheet, ByVal DateRange As String)
Dim dt As Date = CDate("1/1/1900")
[Code].....
When I enter 4 digits whole number 7777 it is validating correctly showing message Enter Valid Date, but when I enter 5 digits 77777 it is accepting the value and converting it to 12/10/2112 value and not showing any error message.
Here all I want to do is I want to validate the cell value to any date format mm/dd/yyyy.
I created a form with a datagrid to show data stored in an Access database. It shows the data correctly, using the code:
[code]...
("compras" is the table name and "Comprasver" is the dataset name).The form also has 3 textboxes and 1 DateTimePicker.Then I created a sql query to allow the user to search within 4 fields of the table (field1, field2 and field4 get the data in the textboxes and field3 gets it in the DateTimePicker). The query looks like this: SELECT field1, field2, field3, field4, field5 FROM compras where field1 like "%"+?+"%" and field2 like "%"+?+"%" and field3 like "%"+?+"%" and field5 like "%"+?+"%" field4 is not an important search criteria, so I didn't include it in the query. Field1 and field2 are both string type. Field3 is a Date type and field4 is integer.Once I made the query, it automatically added a toolstrip with a code, which I cut and pasted in my "Search" button "click" event. The code looks like this:
[code]...
But every time I try to search, no matter which criterias I fill in (even if I fill in none of them), I get an error message saying something like the conversion of the "" string into Integer is not valid (my Visual Studio version is in Spanish, so I don't know how to exactly translate the error message).It's supposed to let the user fill in one, more or all search criterias (all 4 search fields).I found out that if I delete from the query the two fields that don't have String type data, it works correctly. What should I do in order to be able to use the Date and Integer type fields as search criterias too?
Okay in my program I have users select options and then it writes text to a file. When the user restarts the program, I want it to read from the file and search for specific text like "User is a senior,False." At this point if the file has this text, I would like the program to read from a line in the program.
View 3 RepliesHow do I apply 2 font styles to the text selected in a richtextbox? Used this method to change fontstyle:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold)
But with this method I can only apply 1 font-style (for example bold OR italic OR underlined, etc.) right? But I want to apply for example 2 front-styles, or just add the font style ( so I can add several front-styles to the selected text, for example the text is bold, and then ALSO make it underlined (with this method I can only change the font-style, only one font-style)), how do I do this?
Just do so:
RichTextBox1.SelectionFont = New Font(RichTextBox1.SelectionFont, FontStyle.Bold + FontStyle.Italic)
In my program I have a picturebox. using the .onEnter and .onLeave events for the mouse I have the cursor change to a cross (one of the default cursors) and it does like a transparent grayscale thing and changes color a bit depending on what is behind it.

I have posted a snippet of code below that allows me to drag ot to box 1 and 2, but is there any way that I can set it to drag to all boxes without having to individually specifying them? The same goes for dragging text between boxes...i'm sure there must be some way of specifying multiple drag and drop locations without the laborious task of specifying each as an individual sub?

I have a datagridview (windows forms) that is inside an mdiChild form. The custom format is given by a "for" instance, something like this:
For row As Integer = 0 To .Rows.Count - 1
If .Rows(row).Cells("someNumber").Value = 0 Then
.Rows(row).DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSeaGreen
End If
Next
So, for every row in the grid that you find, if ther value in the "somenumber" =0 paint the whole row green. Problem is, if I put the form OUTSIDE of the MDIParent - just put frmMyform.show() in my btn that calls the form-, the grid WILL apply the format; If I call it like frmMyform.mdiparent = frmMdi, then frmMyform.show, the grid WILL NOT apply the format.
