Prompting User For UAC Elevation?
May 19, 2011
I have an application that creates files at certain directories, deploys them and then removes them when neccessary. Under Windows Vista and 7, access for my program to carry out such commands are denied because UAC is blocking it.Now i am NOT using Visual Studio, i am using SharpDevelop and my project is a Windows Form. How can i prompt the user with the UAC dialogue so my application can acquire UAC elevation and carry out its tasks?I would also like to point out that everything works perfectly when UAC is either turned off or the user runs my program with Administrator Rights.

I'm developing an application for our IT Helpdesk to do some common tasks like installs, drive mapping, etc...
However this application needs to be run as administrator. Is there a way to get the application to bring up the RunAs prompt as soon as it runs, so the user doesn't have to do a Shift + Right click > Runas?

How do I prompt the user to input elements in a two dimensional array? And how do I then save the output?I've figured out how write and print a program where the program provides the elements (see short version below), but I can't work out how to get the user to input the elements instead.
Solfa(0, 0) = 11
Solfa(0, 1) = 12
Solfa(1, 0) = 21

Has anyone managed to get administration rights through the UAC without restarting the application or embedding a manifest file?
I'd like to write to some files that only administrators can modify, without relying to another elevated application. Is it possible to impersonate an administrator previously calling with some native API the UAC prompt?
I guess this is not possible and I'll have to use an external tool with elevated rights, but I'm asking just in case.
EDIT: I know there are some other similar questions around, but since they do not cover the topic of impersonation (as fas as I've seen), nor some possible native call to the UAC prompt I decided to give a new thread a go...

I have an ActiveX EXE that is compiled with VB6, unfortunately because it exposes an ActiveX interface it refuses to run unless i embedd a manifest file into it requesting elevation priviliges of administrator.This in turn has the side effect of VISTA prompting the user to logon as administrator each time they run the application.The admin on site has already refused to disable UAC.Is there any way for either our application or the administrator to auto-elevate the program on the domain?

My work is, I have a DEM file and header file of it.Now, I want to display the elevation value from the DEM file of the given Longitude and Latitude.And, I worked on it before,Where I could get the elevation value with the resolution matrix of 6000x4800 and I can able to read the elevation value.But, now I want to modify in such a way that I should read the elevation values from the DEM file with the resolution matrix of 11x11.So, kindly guide me in getting the elevation value with resolution of 11x11 matrix.The code I have used before to display the elevation value with resolution of 6000x4800 are:

I need to display or get the elevation value of a given latitude and longitude from the DEM file in 11x11 matrix array.Actually I have a DEM file and corresponding HDR file of it.And, the DEM file is 6000x4800 Matrix with 57600000 data's.Now, I worked with some codes where I can able to get the elevation of a Given latitude and longitude.But, When I Zoom IN or OUT,the Latitude and Longitude values changes so,when I pass the changed latitude and Longitude value,I could not able to get the elevation value.The reason is,
In the 6000x4800 matrix the Resolution of the X and Y is large,so when we Zoom IN or OUT the resolution changes and could not display the elevation value.But, where as if we get the elevation values in 11x11 matrix array,since it has 121 data's only, the resolution value will be small and even when we Zoom IN or OUT and pass the changed Latitude and Longitude, we could able to get the elevation.[code]....

I have created a 2008 Visual Basic.NET application I'm using on Windows 7 that requires elevation. In myapplication I used the UAC manifest in VS 2008 to makere elevation. that works fine with a regular 2008 VB.NET form and will remember the form postion.On my application (really just a form) that requires elevation it will not save the position and always starts in the upper left of the screenDoes anyone know a way around this on an application created that requires elevation

I need to have my application to prompt the user to see if he wants to save the settings or not before the application exits.I got this to work this way: I added an event handler to My.Application.Shutdown. This event handler does prompt the user and save the settings if the user answers "Yes".But in order to stop the application to save the settings anyway via its regular way, I have to set My.Application.SaveMySettingsOnExit to falseAs I said, it works, but it just look like a bad logic to set SaveMySettingsOnExit to false to have it to save the settings saved on exit with a prompt.
My question is: is there a way to get it work like this:
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =True ( Save and Prompt)
-SaveMySettingsOnExit =true -- PromptBeforeSave =false ( Save and no Prompt)

I have a form with textboxes for input. I have coded the Exit button to display a message box that asks the user if they want to save any data in the textboxes before exiting the program:
Private
Sub btnExit_Click(ByVal
sender As System.Object,
ByVal e
[code]....
The question I have if the textboxes are blank (nothing has been entered), how do I code the Exit button to close the program without displaying the message box asking the user to save the data.' Save the numbers. Call the btnSave_Click procedure.

I'm using visual studio 2005 to develop a form with a combobox passing a value into the parameter of an embedded crystal report. Why it keeps prompting me for a database login every single time you try to run the report with a different combobox selection.
Here is my code:
private Sub Form1_load...
Dim ConnName As String
Dim ServerName As String
Dim DBName As String
Dim user As String
Dim pass As String
[Code] .....
I looked at this previous posting [URL]. I couldn't find where a CMC was to disable the prompt.

I want to change "Prompting Text" of a crystal report parameter in VB6.0. When report is connected to View, it is able to change the "Prompting Text" of parameter. But when it is connected to Procedure, it is throwing "Not a Report Parameter".
I found one reason behind this. When we use view, we create parameters explicitly in the report. But for procedure, report will get parameters from procedure. As there are no parameters in report, it throws "Not a Report Parameter".
So how to add prompting text to the "crystal report parameter" from vb6 when the report uses stored procedure?
Technogies using: VB6.0,Crystal Reports 8.5, Oracle/Sql Server
Code snippet:
Dim CrApp As CRAXDRT.Application
Dim CrRep As CRAXDRT.Report
Set CrApp = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")

I have a oracle database. I use the OracleDataAdapter(Oracle.DataAccess.dll) for select, update, insert, delete operations. I don't set any (table) locks on my own(I only start a transaction). I have a oracle table named "test" with the entry "test1".
Now my question: Can Person A read the entry "test1" while Person B is updating/deleting the entry at the exact same time? What happens in the worst case? An old match/empty match or can it cause any kind of exception/error(e.g. "TableLocked-Exception")?

writing user info such as user, computer name, date, and time to an acces database using a button click event. Then use a query to check if the user has accepted the aggreement. If the user has accepted the aggreement then call a vb.exe that display the aggrement. I have a login script that runs the vb.exe and uses a button click that records the user info to a csv file, but if the user has already agreed to the policies I do not want it run again.

I have been trying to solve this for 2 days now, every text book I own and google have been well and truely exhausted and I am still no closer to solving my problems.I have a login facility reading in user info from a main user file. This takes all info into a temp array and then splits usernames into a username file, passwords into a password file and a current score in a score file.
I have the login working fine and everything else in my program works as intended but touching up cosmetic aspects I want to add a Message box after login to say hello and display current score. This works great for the first name in the user file i.e - after login User1 welcome to the game. Your current score is 45 As intended.But the problem arises with any other users, my message comes out as
User2 welcome to the game. Your current score is 55 I do not understand where the random new lines are coming from. I have tried assigning the message as a variable and removing new line using

I am designing a fairly small application to manage a waiting area for a clinical department. There will be a receptionist who books appointments and updates exisiting appointments to say that a patient has "Arrived". In seperate rooms will be nurses who call patients who have "Arrived" and update the appointment as "In Session" and finally as "Discharged". The appointments are viewed in a flexgrid with nurses across the top and time down the left, patient names are displayed at the relevant times and the cells are shaded a colour to represent the current appointment status ("Booked", "Arrived", "In Session" and "Discharged").
I am using SQL Server as the back-end and Visual Basic 6 (I know) as my front-end.I have been told that there will be 2 or 3 nurses plus the receptionist logged in to the system but I would like to cater for growth.My question is what is the best mechanism to use in order to reflect the status change made by one user on the screens of the other users currently logged in?
I have been thinking about using a timer to refresh the data at a set interval but I do not want to keep hitting the server excessively (although what is considered excessive? we would be talking about a call for data every 60 secs per user). Plus the server could be serving data for many other applications so this is another consideration.Alternatively I have been thinking about sending some kind of message via Winsock to the other users notifying them of data changes as they happen. I don't have a lot of experience with this and am concerned about clients not receiving messages and users seeing old data. It also seems strange to me that once the days appointments have been retrieved from the database that "in theory" a client could go the whole day without having to query the database again to pick up changes - kind of scary.Some information on the data:We would probably be looking at around 100 appointments per day We capture patient name, date of birth, date and time of appointment and appointment status.What is the standard approach / best practice for this kind of scenario?

I was developing my own project in the university so what i am stack is to have save button which firstly validates what the user enters the form. for instance if the user skips the text fields, i wanted to restrict the user to fill all the form and when he completes, the save must be accomplished.
Here's the code i was trying to put but i was having problem saying the windows.forms.etc is unable to convert the save as Boolean and something like that.
Dim success As Boolean
Private Sub Save_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Save.Click

I am creating a form for work where managers can report when they find a customer's personal information laying around on a desk (we work at a call center where agents answer calls for a wireless cell phone provider, so we take personal information security very seriously). Anyway, I am wondering if there is a way to have a text box autofill with that manager's windows username (since they will need to be logged into their own profile to use the form).

I have some custom user controls in my .net winforms program that do not display correctly when the user has selected larger text size. This setting:
My controls look like this:
Instead of like this:
The bill to area and ship to area are both custom controls. I don't know if this is contributing to the problem but I do have code in each to scale the phone/fax areas to stretch nicely, like this code from the bill to control,
Private Sub panFaxPhone_Resize(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles panFaxPhone.Resize
panFax.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panPhone.Width = (panFaxPhone.Width / 2) - 1
panFax.Left = panFaxPhone.Width - panFax.Width
End Sub
How can I get my controls to size correctly while still respecting the users choice for larger text (I don't want to just set the AutoScaleMode to None)? After playing with this for a long time it seems to be a problem with anchors in the child controls. See this below image, the inner black box is the control with its border turned on, the text boxes (like name) are anchored left and right and should stretch to fill the control, but don't.
