I need to read the distinguished name of the current user (the one running the program) from Active Directory.I'm warm (I know I should use System. DirectoryServices and DirectorySearcher), but somehow I can't get the code to work properly, nor can I find a working example.Now, after having spent hours searching for examples on the internet, I'm getting quite frustrated with myself, so I turn to you hoping someone can provide an example.Why I need this: when people run this program, it needs to detect which OU they belong to. We have several sites (for example Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and depending on what site the user's OU is, I need to perform some actions. So I hope to derive f.e. "OU=Rotterdam" from their DN.

I wrote a program that runs in the background and waits for me to hit a predefined key combination.
When I hit this key combination I want it to do the following
Check and verify that Windows Explorer is up If IE open, I want it to get the current/active windows explorer screen directory.
So lets say I had windows explorer opened to "c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"

So it should display a message saying something like "Active Directory: c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
I want to know if the Windows Run key pressed. How can it be possible? What's the constant or ascii code for this key? The second: How can I know if the program, I wanted to use, is activated? What's the correct func. for this?

View 6 RepliesIn my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?
