Getting Out Of A For Loop - Validate A User Account
Mar 27, 2012
I have created a for loop the validates a user account. however whenever i hit the button that starts he code it won't let me allow user input. I have checked a forums and other sites and its bugging me. i know its small but i don't know what i need to be doing to get out of the loop
I have several text boxes I need to validate. I am not understanding how to validate in Visual Basic 2008. So I deployed standard If Statements to handle bad data. I am having two problems.
Lets say the user entered wrong data, example, numbers; an error message is displayed. The text boxes cannot contain numbers, be left empty or contained characters, like !@#$. The problem is if the user enter text, and then entered a wrong data again the code does not work or display error message. How can I make the conditions so that they throw out error message even if the user had previously entered good data.
Another example: If the user enter good data in text box 1 and bad data in text box 2, the error message does not work.
Finally, how do I filter out characters to allow only text. Is there a way to use this code on multiple text boxes with out writing the entire code for each form control?
Here are the conditional statements. Private Sub btnDataSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDataSubmit.Click If IsNumeric(txtDataEntry.Text) Then lblErrorDisplay.Text = "Invalid Name!" lblErrorDisplay.BackColor = Color.Red [Code] .....
I thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.
Getting some errors with a loop. It's a log-in app that has username, passwords & account type stored in a SqlCe database. I would like it to sync with a larger database for updates that has not been made so i left it out but I have started to make a loop that would connect it to the larger DB and if connection failed would try a set number of times before stopping the program. I'm coding this project with Visual Studio 08 pro
Dim conndb As New SqlCeConnection("Data Source = |DataDirectory|\Mydb.sdf") Dim x, y, z As Double x = 1 y = x + 1 z = 5
I don't have any code written as of yet but here is what I'm trying to do...Suppose 'JOHN' is the user of computer 1 and I wrote an application that accessed his ccount...particularly some folder within his 'JOHN' name....obviously when I code it I would use the 'JOHN' name...PROBLEMBut what if I want to use the same application on another computer with another user's name (eg. JILL), is there a code I can use to generalize the 'user'?, for example...%accountuser% or something like that?
I have a couple of questions. For each username or group in windows there is an id/s number associated with it... how would I be able to use the number/id or what ever its called to get the actual Name of the user/group? Example of the id i'm talking about: S-1-5-21-839522115-1563985344-1957994488-501 To be able to get a list of these ids they are stored in.
I need to be able to validate the windows password of the account that is currently logged in. I've managed to do this when the unit has a password. But if it does not have a password, passing an empty string does not work. It fails each time.I've been looking around, but haven't been able to find much on this. Does anyone know how to determine if the user password is empty?[code]
I'm wondering how would I go about allowing a user to set up an account on a program and as button whn they click on asking their log details? And when they do log On. A pop up saying their name welcome to this program?
I am trying to create a windows forms login using vb.net and sql that has the option to create user accounts with such properties like administrator and more.
I have created a windows service that has the Account set to user. Which means that when I install the service I need to pass a user name and password. Is there a way to set these maybe in the ProjectInstaller class maybe in the BeforeInstall event? if so HOW?
I have made a program that i would like to be able to move from PC to PC; at the moment i would have to change the string directories within the program for each PC i would like top run it on.
By having the user select their drive letter and type their account name into a text box could this be implemented into a directory.
Below is the code, as i was hoping it was coded (lol never is tho).
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim Filename As String = ("*.torrent")
I'm trying to copy a file to "My Documents" folder via VB.Net. But my problem is that I don't know how to set the path. For example on my computer the path looks like this:
"C:Documents and SettingsArithmeticaMy Documents".
as you see this path only exists on my computer. I'm trying to find a way to retrieve the windows account username right in VB.Net.
How can I start (Run As) application for example "C:xxx.exe" with another account-user and password in vb.net?I tried the ( Process.Start ), but it doesn't seem to work.
While testing my software a friend of mine got the following Error: "Access to the database file is not allowed. [File name = ...etc..." I found out that this has to do with the user rights in Vista (perhaps also XP). How can I solve this?
In the process of testing of old (XP compatible) applications with Windows 7 we have xperienced a problem, that our major application Clarify (based on VB engine) does not work properly with turned on UAC (SendKeys and DoEvents do not work). Having turned off UAC, works our application error-free. Due to the corporate policy we cannot turn off UAC but we are looking for a solution, how to turn off UAC (not prompts) only for our application or how to het to work an application based on VB with turned.
I am looking into programming an application that detects noise levels. If the level is over a specific threshold it will lock a logged on user account. The idea behind this application is to reduce noise levels in a busy IT suite. My question is has anyone written anything similar and did it prove to be effective and is VB the best programming language for the job?
How can I add a user to a table in a mysql database without datagridview? I already have this: Code: Dim conn As MySqlConnection 'connect to DB conn = New MySqlConnection() conn.ConnectionString = "server=localhost; user id=root; password=test; database=test_addtable" [Code] .....
I want to pass an asp.net membership user name to a subroutine and retrieve the profile property named FullName for that user, how can i achive this in vb.net?
I have a web-app that will reside on a production server where I want to get the user's logged in computer name, circa DOMAINNAME/USERNAME Many people have told me that I must use Impersonation/Delegation in order to get this, but no details beyond that have been provided. Originally, my tests used:
How can I save all that info to a file to pull up for later use in the program? All the info was entered into text boxes and at the end of the program I have a button that is named Save Information.
