I am using VB to develop a WinForms application. This application should get all the computers from a particular Oraganizational Unit (OU) in the Active Directory (AD). How do I specify the particular OU in VB code? I would prefer to download some fields only from each computer's record.
View 1 Replieshow do i get list of all connected computers in local network i have tried through Active Directory and it gives all computer names whether connected or not. the main problem is few computers on network have dual operating systems and both have different name like different on xp (comp1 xp) and different on vista (comp1 vista) and when i try to ping a computer name like (comp1 vista) which is not active, but maps to its associated ip and return replying so i m not able to get true status of computer name as (comp1 xp) can also reply on ping
View 15 RepliesI've run into a bit of a problem using Async ping. Basically, I want to ping computers in the list before I run the next bit of my program. The computers who I can ping are added to a list and that is used in a background worker. Trouble is can't seem to work out how to wait until after pinging ALL computers in the list, either successful or timed-out. Is there something a long the lines of 'If Async Ping is running'?
Private Sub pingCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Net.NetworkInformation.PingCompletedEventArgs)
If e.Reply.Status = Net.NetworkInformation.IPStatus.Success Then
complist.Add(e.UserState)
Else
'do nothing
End If
End Sub
I need the next bit to wait because if 'complist' is changed while it's being used I get collection errors.

I need to grab a list of all networked computers, and I definitely include systems on the wireless
network in that list. I'm just not sure how to approach this. Being able to enumerate through a
'tree' of all networks and systems available would be a major plus.

View 8 RepliesI wanna make an application in which i have to make two computers communicate each other.

View 2 RepliesPart of an application that I'm building searches the network that the current computer is connected to and returns a list of the IP & MAC addresses and the hostname. It is based largely on the post by richard__deeming at [URL] At the moment, it will only get the information about computers that are in the same workgroup, but I have several computers that need to be shown, that are joined to a domain rather than the workgroup. How can I get the program to find every computer on the network?

View 4 RepliesI have alignment issues with my application's printout. It isn't same in all computers, or printers. I want to use the whole A4 page in my app without any margin or other spaces. So I set all margins to 0.If I set OriginAtMargins to false, margins are still active for the page, or setting them to 0 is useless? The actual question is should I also set the HardMarginX and Y? I must get rid of all spaces for the correct printing.

i have a strange problem with a VB.Net Windows Application. On my computer(the development PC) it executes the newest version of the exe and dll's but on the computer of my fellow(he is not a developer and cant debug it) an older version is executed. He has overwritten all files with the new version:

When is a dll installed in the global assembly cache? Because i've searched for it in the gac with gacutil.exe but not found:

I've also looked into the assembly folder but not found any of these dll's there.
Additional info: one of the dll's is loaded dynamically in the codebehind:

The others are referenced in the particular project.

I have a form with a tab control. Above it, there are lables, combo boxes and text boxes.
On the development machine, it works fine but on other machines, where resolution is different, the position of the controls is changed. Somewhere combo box overlaps the tab control, somewhere text boxes and lables are not aligned with each other.
How to set it so that my application maintains the shape no matter what resolution it is.
I tried AutoScaleMode to dpi, inherit etc. but nothing worked.

View 1 Replieshow to share sql database through LAN computers, here what I have done after I did a research.I enabled remote connections for sql server as using both tcp/ip and names pipes.In firewall, I added an exception for sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe as allowed in the firewall.cplTCp for sql server network configuration is enabled.
Therefore, I connected the sql server database into the vb.net where I chose the wizard for connecting the database as "add new data source"...I selected from there a Microsoft SQL Server (SqlClient). And Then finished the connection of sql server database and vb.net...Therefore, I built the program and its running....In the project properties
Setting tab, I got my connection string :
Data Source=MUSTAFAMUSTAFA;Initial Catalog=CustomerRegister;User ID=sa;Password=123
Or where exactly can the connection string be found?OR that conection string i found the setting tab is enough for other computer to detect my database server?Please here i am stressed about it.So what should I do next...can I publish the program and it will run another machine where database will be looking for my machine...or there other steps I need to do?
I have my client app installed in many computers, each computer is connected via LAN. Each Client app uses its own SQL database. I need to synchronize the databases in each computer so that every client app has the same data. How can I achieve this using VB.net (VS 2010 , Winforms)
View 1 RepliesI created a simple desktop app (really simple) and did a network clickonce deployment. It works fine on most computers.BUT nothing on one computer (computer A). No message, no start menu, nothing. App has no dependencies other than .NET framework. If I just copy the exe onto the same computers, it works fine on all computers except computer A.Computer A has the correct framework installed. When I double click the exe it does nothing - no message, no error, not showing up in task manager, notta. I tried more than one application and it performs the same.
