View 1 Repliesi have a script with a login form that creates a folder per user with username.txt, password.txt, firstname.txt, and lastname.txt. - auto creates when creating new user.after i log in and change form i want an label showing the first and last name of the person logged in,how am i supposed to do that? is there any way to make like an "admin" form where new account applies will pop-up when "admin" log in and then either accept or reject new users?
View 8 RepliesJust a pretty question that seem to me a bit difficult to do it. Well, I have a form called customers. Login form and mainform. So my clients want to have an option that explains this: If a user enters information in the customer form, then that information has to be confirmed by admins panel.

How to run as admin in win vista without make right click and run as admin i want to do it like any other program

Application is writing some text files to a user-defined directory (which in some cases is a "protected" directory, like C:Directory). It's throwing all kinds of "Access Denied" errors at runtime.
Is there a registry entry I can insert at installation to escalate the application when ran? or escalate the UAC level in a config file somewhere?
on XP Pro, IsUserRole(eUserType.Administrator) returns true, if the class is administrator, and false if it's limited...
On Vista, it returns true, if it's the first administrator account, and false for anything else... I created a second administrator account on Vista, and it shows in code as "Standard" (or limited) user, the same as if I made a "Managed Account" on Vista...

View 9 RepliesIm developing an application with Visual Basic 2005 and Oracle Database.It runs perfectly in my developing computer.When I am going to install it in the customer servers, I do it:
1. I install Oracle Database in a dedicated server with Windows 2003.
2. I install the Oracle Client, my application, Oracle Develop Tools for Windows and .NET Framework 2.0 in other dedicated server with Windows 2000.When in this second server, I login in Windows 2000 with "ADMIN" account, the aplication runs 100% perfectly, and oracle database too.
But the problem is : When an user try to connect to the second server without be "ADMIN", (So he's a simple user) the application runs but when it try to connect oracle an exception occurs (in the end of this message I put it).All folders of my application and oracle database have all permisions to all. What can be happen? This is the exception (sorry because its in spanish)[code].....
I am trying to build a self-updating .NET application that will run in an environment with limited user accounts. No admin rights here. The application must run on Vista and XP, and probably Win 7 when it comes out.An X-copy deployment would be fine. I would prefer NOT to use click-once.So far I have tried a system where the application checks a manifest and downloads updated binaries, which worked great in development, but not so much when the app was installed.Vista refuses to to let me copy files to Program Files. After that, I tried downloading an updated .msi, which works except that the MSI has a UAC prompt -- no go if the user does not have an account with local admin privileges.
running the program in AppData and using the x-copy method might work, but I have not seen anyone say that they have tried it and it did work. Will that work for an account without admin rights? Can anyone vouch for this method before I start writing more code?
I must give my application local admin privacy so my application can acces and chnge (in this case uninstall) ,independently user's access level , I've local admin's pass .
Briefly : I must run as local admin .

View 1 RepliesI am attempting to use several image resources in a web application I am working on, but I am doing something wrong. Here is what I have so far:.An image named frog.gif in a folder named images (/images/frog.gif). This image has the Build Action set to Embedded Resource.
.The Root Namespace (as specified in My Project -> Application) is WebApplication2005.The AssemblyInfo.vb file contains the line:<Assembly: WebResource("WebApplication2005.images.frog.gif", "image/gif")>
.The codebehind file for the page contains the following line in the Load event:
Me.Image1.ImageUrl = Me.Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(Me.GetType(), "WebApplication2005.images.frog.gif")
However, when I do a debug, the src attribute of the img tag does have a URL starting with
WebResource.axd, but it is not accessing the resource. What could I be doing wrong? I feel like I have tried everything possible, but with no success.[URL]..

I'm developing a very simple program in VB2010 Express that will create folders based on entries in a remote database. I am fully aware that the minimum requirement to run the exe is the latest .net framework, however I have a few added resources to the file, and when I try to run the executable on another computer, it fails to run stating that the resources are missing.
How do i compile my VB code AND the resources together into a stand-alone executable that only requires the .net framework to be installed?I have already tried to google this issue, however every answer I find has nothing to do with my initial question..
How can I add an .exe to my resources and execute it within my code? Or atleast have that program compile with my project and be able to execute it?
View 5 RepliesGeneral question on linked resources. I just want to clarify what an application does with linked resources. For explanatory purposes lets say that my resources are a bunch of images. My understanding is that linked resources are really just a reference to where that resource is on disk, whereas embedded resources are stored as part of the application.

I was currently looking at on old application that I am maintianing and it uses a mixture of retrieving Application config settings from both the App.config and application config table in the DB.In the new software I am working (a port of the old application) I have a list of email addresses that are static and rarely change, what would be the best mechanism for retrieving these. Currently I am using resource strings so that using them is a simple My.Resources., but what are the benefits/drawbacks of storing the information either in the App.Config or a database table.

View 3 RepliesI was wondering if you should dispose undisposed resources before closing your application. Maybe it's not necessary to do this because closing your application automatically takes care of this.
