View 2 RepliesI am starting design of a program that needs to run no matter if the user is logged in to the PC or not. So I will be writing it as a VB.Net Service.
As I am not overly familiar with SQL Server Express, is it possible to connect to a local SQL Server Express Instance and access the database from a VB.Net Service while the user is not logged in to the PC?

View 2 RepliesI wanted to display my current logged user data in my aspx web page.But I am unable to do so. I just can't understand how to call the necessary data. I have used Grid view but I cannot find a query that will give me the details of the current logged user.
Code:
HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
but it gives me an error saying "property access must assign to the property or use its value". I don't know how to tackle this.
Background: I have a webForm app that registers a user in the database based on the information provided with a web service, auto-generates a random password and username, and e-mails the user a link to take an application based on the marketing company selected.
Question: How do I populate the MarketerName_TextBox field with the currently logged in users name (Is it User.Identity.Name and do I add that line on aspx.vb end or the aspx end?)

I know, it's a bit weird asking for a query to tell me my own email address right, I'll explain further...
I'm writing a COM add-in for Outlook 2007. One of the subs generates and sends an email to a particular address and this all works fine.However I have a need to have an option for the sender to be able to include themselves on the recipients list.As more than one person will be running this I cannot just set the sender's email address manually and would prefer to just add a check box on the form to enable this feature.
The only bit I'm stuck on is working out how to find the email address of the person sending the email. I could do it with an AD query against the logged on user but this needs to work for non-domain users also so need another method.
2003I've implemented Forms Authentication on one particular subfolder on one of my sites. My code works perfectly on my development machine, but there is a slight problem on the live server.If you browse to the admin subfolder, if you are not authenticated, you will be redirected to the login page. The Master Page footer also contains a link to the login page; when the user logs in, that link is supposed to change to a link to the admin page:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim link As HtmlAnchor = FindControlIterative(Me, "Login")
If HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.IsAuthenticated Then
[code]....
This works fine on my dev PC, but on the live server, IsAuthenticated() returns False, and thus the Login link is not replaced by the Admin link. However, if browse to the admin subfolder, I can access the content fine; there is no redirection to the login page.
Using the following code, a user inputs a date into a textbox control and then clicks a button. A new record is created in table [rms_Report] and then I retrieve the ID of the record that was just added. I pass this ID onto page "CreateReport.aspx" via a response.redirect and query string.
I need to retrieve the UserId of the currently logged in user and insert it into table [rms_Report]. I need this to occur after the new record is inserted, but obviously before the response.redirect. I know how to retrieve the UserId, but I'm not sure how to incorporate into the other code.

View 1 RepliesQuestion: How to pass the current user on the web page from the IIS server to the Reporting Services Server.I have seen this topic throughout the forums. However, the answers are always hard code the user in web.config - use a login window and pass those fields to the IReportServercredentials or create one user for everyone.
When the person who asks the question comes back and says that doesn't work there is not answer.Does anyone know how to do this? I have VS 2008 ( and 2010 ) I am sending the info to SSRS 2005 server.As anyone using SSRS knows that if the reports have parameters and udf behind the report to inspect who the user is, then you have to pass that user to the report.

I have been programming steady with vb.net for a year now and was all happy about using the List view and email etc from web sites. I even used a reportviewer to pdf to email attach, cool. Now I feel quite lost and realize I have not been using properties, etc. That is my background.
I have one table here with a list of UserIDs, Users, and ClientCodes.Each user can be assigned a client code to view that client's data else where.Right now I have to change it for everyone via SQL Server and actually going into the table manually, but I'm trying to make a simple little program that will let the user change it themselves.All I need is a textbox that pulls the user based on a certain UserID from the table, and a drop down list that will not only show the current ClientCode they're set to, but allow me to change it and save that change to the table in the database.What's the best way to go about this? I tried using the wizards but I guess that's not the best way to go about it.I have it displaying the correct user and their current ClientCode but that's about it.

i have a login form in a banking project.i set a userid and password for this login form and i did the code accordingly,it works good.In my form there are two fields namely:Userid and Password and a button named Login.
But i cant get any idea about what to do when the user wants to create their own userid and password?
I think i need to add a few more buttons to enable the user to create their own userid and password but i cant get the idea......i need some help.
Again,if i allow the user to create their own userid and password then anyone can use my project by creating a new account.........
Hence i am totally confused how to go with this.I need some urgent discussion so that i can get through this problem.
I want a user information including name, last name, phone number and ..
View 2 RepliesI'm running an application under an account that is not the account logged-on to the PC.
Within the application I need check if the logged-on user is a member of the Administrators group. Below is the code I'm using. From what I've read, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() should return an object associated with the logged-on user. It doesn't, it returns the same information as the call to System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Which is the information associated to the ID running the application, not the logged-on user.

I have a comments form which I want to appear only if a user is logged in.I now there is a toolbox helper thing called Login View which does exactly what I want but as soon as I put a form inside the code won't compile because it cannot find the textbox fields.

The logged-in 'UserId' and 'UserName' is getting displayed correctly, but now how do I use the string 'lmember' in my 'SELECT' statement when I need to display the related information from the table 'aspnet_Users' for the logged-in user? getting the following select statement:
SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM aspnet_Users WHERE (UserName= ????)"
I'm writing software in VB .NET (2005) which uses the Windows user information as login credentials - just the username. I've found Environment.UserName which works for the username (as you would expect).However, I need more information - I need the full name of the user (as shown on the Start Menu). It seems this information is stored... somewhere, as Windows is able to use it for things like permissions on file shares.

View 3 RepliesI keep a Session variable when the user is logged in. So that when the user click on btnLogout it must clear all my sessions and Log the User out for GOOD!!!
It does clear my sessions but if i click the BACK button in IE right after i logged out then i am still logged in! Meaning it goes back to screen where the user was still logged into.
My code on log out
protected void btnLogout_Click
{
Session.Clear();
Session.Abandon();

Is there maybe an option in code i can do that will disable the user from pressing the BACK button in the Web Browzer?
I need to create a spreadsheet of which kit is assigned to which person, within the company.
We have desktops & laptops, for the purpose of this post, we'll say desktops are named DESKTOP then a random 3 digit number (DESKTOP001, DESKTOP002 etc.) and laptops are named LAPTOP then a random 3 digit number (LAPTOP001, LAPTOP002 etc.)
I'm presuming the best way of checking which user uses each workstation would be to check who last logged in to it. doing this for ALL computers in a certain OU (lets say DESKTOP_OU for desktops and LAPTOP_OU for laptops in this example) (either with VB Script or PowerShell I would presume) and to export it to Excel.
I want to know if its possible to retrieve from a given address (IP) the currently logged on user.
