I thought I would have a go at creating an inventory system - as I can learn VB.net on the way and its useful to use. The first hurdle I have come across is I would like to link a combo box with active directory to populate the name of who is requesting the stock item - can anyone point me in the right direction of how this is done please?
View 4 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way of populating a treeview from active directory so that it can do the following:Loads a list of servers --> Double Click the Server(Expand) --> Then i can select users --> then the department they are in --> then select the user so i can manage the user. i.e change there password[code]

View 3 RepliesIs it possible (I'm sure it is) to validate a user's credentials against Active Directory without using Directory Services?I'm building a Browser-Based WPF application which requires users to login to and get validated via Active Directory. Since .Net 4.0 (or maybe 3.5) accessing Directory Services from an Application requires the application to be fully trusted. Since IE won't provide full trust to an application if it doesn't have the signing certificate in it's cert store, the application is refused startup permission.
If I don't use Directory Services, then I can leave the application as Partial Trust and validate my user's credentials without having to install a certificate on each user's machine.
I am trying to get my head around datasets, etc. The following code pulls data from an sql server and stores it in a data set. I then set the grid's datasoure to this data set. Now I want to populate a combo box on 'form load' with information from a field (surname) within the authors table.How do I approach this? I can do it in design mode but I want to do it in code as I feel you get a better understanding of what is happening under the hood.

I am trying to create a unit converter program. At the moment I'm trying to populate my combo box with results that have been calculated. I have two sets of results to display. I want them displayed side by side and have been trying very hard to do this. So far I've managed to get the result to display but only the original unit, it's start, increment and end value. Not the converted unit, start, increment and end value.
Then I managed to display both the original inputs and the converted inputs but they were showing directly below one another instead of being seperated into two seperate columns, i.e. original input, start, increment and end and the converted unit, start, increment etc.
This is the code snippet I am working with:
lstTableResult.Text = "" + (FormatNumber(lcInputValue, CInt(mdDecPlaces))), "" + (FormatNumber(lcResult, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))
The code above is incorrect and shows errors, i.e. is asking for end of statement.
The code below works, but it is only one code line, I've just split into two to make it work... not what I actually want.
lstTableResult.Items.Add(FormatNumber(lcInputValue, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))
lstTableResult.Items.Add(FormatNumber(lcResult, CInt(mdDecPlaces)))
I am using the following code for populating the combo boxes in my application. It is really nice. If any one requires, may use this. It takes three parameters. The first, the name of the Combo Box and the second, the SQL Statement to populate the combo box and the third is the number of column to be displayed (from the SQL statement)

Recently started working with VB.NET, and I'm just playing around with the controls and everything. What I want to do, is populate a drop-down list or a combobox (on program load) with data from a dictionary. I'm used to php, so I tried a for each dictionary.items as newitem combobox.items.add(newitem) but I can't get it working. Can someone give me an example of this? And what if i wanted only the key to show in the drop-down, and the corresponding value shown on a label besides it when I make a selection?

I want to show a list of files and folders (names + their icons) inside a given directory with a ListView control or equivalent. I understand that ExtractAssociatedIcon gives you the icon of a file, not a folder. So what are my options for this objective? I don't really have a problem if I have to separate folders and files like the following.
Dim fi As New IO.DirectoryInfo(f) 'f is the path of a given directory
For Each subfolder As IO.DirectoryInfo In fi.GetDirectories()
ImageList1.Images.Add(My.Resources.FolderIcon)

I am using the FilesystemWatcher to look for files in a Directory, it does not matter what the file is. After a file appears it starts my ftp process and I end up with a bunch of 0 byte files because it processed before all the files arrived.
I would like to WaitFor... (Files_Created) to finish but dont seem to have the right syntax to get this to work properly. I have working code up until it loops. As you can see I have tried various processes to get it to work... mostly commented out. I also have imported just about everything trying to get this to work. Please ask away.

I am building a form in access database.
I have a combo box which is linked to a query which is looking up a unique reference number from a table called Tbl_Submitted_Requests.
What I need the form to do is auto populate the other text boxes when the user selects the unique reference from the combo box. How can I get the text boxes to auto populate with the data that is associated with each unique reference?

View 6 RepliesI would like to have all properties on a user from active directory. I find some property name as :
distinguishedName, SAMAccountName, sn, givenName, TelephoneNumber, mail
If you have a list of property? As each user has an ID in AD ?
I'm having a weird problem with active directory and the display name attribute. I can create an AD account with no problems, the account shows up, I can log on as the account, everything appears to be working as intended. The problem is, our company requires that the display name be in the form of "Lastname, Firstname". Thats all fine and dandy when you create an AD account use the MMC snap-in, you type in the users name as "Lastname, Firstname" in the display name field and when the account is created, the display name shows as "Lastname, Firstname" as you would expect.
The problem I am having is this, whenever I create an AD account programmatically, I can't for the life of me get the display name to show up as "Lastname, Firstname". The displayname property is set as such, checking the AD account using the MMC snap-in shows the display name is set correctly, but when looking at the list of user accounts, the account is always displayed as the users username. The account name I am using is "Test User", see pic below.
if you try to rename the account, the field it tells you it is editing is called Full Name? I can't find a property in AD even called Full Name so I am completely confused, here is a picture of me trying to rename the programmatically created account, as you can see, the display name field is set correctly even though it doesn't display that way. And of course, after renaming the account as seen below, the display name shows up correctly as "Lastname, Firstname"Here is the code I use to create the account, just for reference.
Public Sub CreateActiveDirectoryAccount(ByVal sUserName As String, ByVal sFirstName As String, _
ByVal sLastName As String, ByVal sUserPrincipalName As String, ByVal sPassword As String, _
ByVal sHomeDrive As String, ByVal sHomeDirLocation As String, _

View 3 RepliesWe are cunrretly developing a solution for compact framework and windows mobile 6.5. The idea is that the user have to login using custom login for on the phone before they can do anything else. Our backend is WCF, and here we have planned to implement an interface based solution where the customer can select between a variety of "AuthenticationSources" one including Active Directory.Is there any clever way to do this using built in .NET functionality, or do I still have to do it the old fashion way like:
1) Write domain, user and password in the windows mobile login form.
2) send this info using http webservice to the wcf server, where the server check for this device, which is the preferred login source. If it is ad, it will load the ADauthenticator class, peform a LDAP query against the ad selected, and simply return true or false if user passed or not, then the webservice return tru/false to the device.
3) If the return answer is true, the device will store an encrypted registry key on the device indicating to the device client that the user is logged on.
4) If the user select logout, or if the device is restarted, or loses power, the registry key is cleared on boot.is this a good enough solution? The devices are NOT considered to be members of the actual domain. And this solution should handle a solution with a database source for logins.
