View 2 RepliesI am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

View 1 RepliesI'm sure there are several ways of achieving my goal but I am after opinions on what you think is the best option. I'm writing a vb.net application which (amongst other thinks) interfaces with media players in the home. Because there are different types of media playersI'm trying to structure it so each type of media player has it's own class which interfaces to a management class which sits on top of all the different devices types.
The device classes are responsible for discovering the phsyical devices and returning that information up to the management class. A device class may be responsible for monitoring 1 or more physical devices so..

View 3 RepliesI have a scenario that has been troubling me for years. If you have to connect to a database or other service (like a web service) using a username and password, where would be the safest place to store this information if you are connecting through a .NET assembly? I understand that you would have to encrypt the password, but then you run into a kind of chicken-egg problem -- fine -- you can encrypt it, but then where do you put the key?In .NET, you can't hardcode the password because you can decompile .NET code.
I looked at using assembly based rights with Isolated Storage, but MS recommends against storing unencrypted secret items there because priveledged users can gain access, so again, we are moving the problem from point A to point B. So for examplem, a domain admin with no need to know about the information in a database would be able to get access because of the ability to be an admin on any workstation on the domain.You can encrypt App.Config and Web.Config, but I believe priveledges users can access the keys. I think you run into the same problem with DPAPI.
I had considered storing the passwords, encrypted in a remoted database and getting them through OS authentication, but our department prohibits the storage of passwords on database servers. I am pretty sure I am stuck and wanted confirmation.

View 2 RepliesI'm a first time visitor and poster, but I'm definitly going to stick around. I'm running an old version of Visual Studio .Net Academic 2002 and the .Net framework 2.0. I'm stuck on an issue regarding the deployment of a few programs I've thrown together. They all work fine on my development machine, but the problem they all use SQL Server databases, and I can't find any specific help on deploying a windows application with a database on a machine that isn't set up basically just like my development machine.
I know that I need the .net runtime bootstrapper on the target machine, so I can run basic programs that dont use SQL databases. That's no problem. But what about programs that make heavy use of databases? How does one go about deploying it on target machines? Is there a SQL server bootstrapper?

I didn't know where to post this question so I hope I put it in the right forum...I am not new to Visual Basic, however I am definitely not an advanced user. I would like to build an application that would allow me to interact with other programs on my computer. For example, if I were to build an application that could control iTunes, how would I go about this?

I'm running into some strange exceptions coming from a few workstations that are running one of our Windows Forms Applications. The application is written for .NET Framework 2.0 and coded in VB.NET. We've re-imaged the machines a couple of time but not matter what we do, the same problem occurs. We are not seeing this problem with any other machines besides these two. Below is the exception message and the Stack Trace. Can anyone provide any insight as to why this may be happening?

Is it possible in VS2010 to create a new MDI application and import stand alone Windows forms applications into it?
The reason I ask, is we have a number of tools that have been created as single apps but there are quite a number of them and it would be nice to combine the lot into an MDI app.
However I don't really want to re-write any of the apps, so is there a way to import them instead?
