With my new user namewhen I press a custom tool button, I receive an error message saying that it can't find Personal.xls at the XLStart location under the old user name.Personal.xls from the new XLStart folder is properly open and hidden.
View 2 RepliesBut I am trying to get to the Personl folder of the current user in windows 7. Now there are two special folders: MyDocuments and Personal However they both lead to C:Users{USERNAME}Documents Shouldn't Personal lead to one back from that?
View 3 RepliesI have a piece of software with two tabs, inside each tab there are buttons (the user can add the buttons when they want). when tab1 is full tab2 should start to fill. I currently know how many buttons fit on the screen so I just say something like if buttons > 150 then start to populate tab 2 The problem i have now though is if the resolution is changed then a different amount of buttons can be displayed. so if I put my screen to 1280x720 some buttons are left of. I was thinking of detecting the resolution and then using different cases for different resolutions but this seems very inefficient im wondering if there is a different way?
View 5 RepliesI am making a program that stores all information that is entered into a directory and then zips that directory onto the C drive. It is working perfectly fine, but I think it would be easier for the user if the final directory was zipped onto the desktop.
Is there a way that VB.Net can locate the user's desktop and then zip the directory and place it on the desktop? For example, zipping it to "C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktop" would work on my PC, but it may be different on a user's computer.
VB2010. I'm trying to figure out how to locate the desktop path for a user on another pc/server. Something similar to:
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop)
The main reason is we area talking about an Environment that has XP, Win Server 2003 (TS), Win Server 2008 and Win 7. Obviously different path depending on the OS. I need to copy a file to a users desktop and would like to do so without having to hardcode the path as it could change depending on where they are working from.
I was just wondering if there was a way with, using VB.net, be able to create a program to detect when a message is received in Windows Live Messenger, and alert the user?Essentially, MSN is minimized in background and our program, Program A, is also running in backgroung.Friend X sends us a message, the MSN icon blinks as usualy, but also a window pops up and shows the name of the user and the message.I was just wondering if there was a way to connect to MSN in some fom to be able to do this?

How to know that if the current user is an administrator or normal user or guest?
And how to make the exe can just only run in administrator?
I have tried to set the .manifest to "<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />", but no use. Although I am not logged in as admin, I can still run the exe.
In my application I have a several type of user could be log in. My purpose is to have a restriction with other menu to show on or off. In php I used a session to handle that user id. In vb.net how can assign user id and retrieve anytime I need it in every user that has been logged in, so that I can check the user type and do some action.

I have that currently. What I want is instead of it loading ALL processes, I only want it to load processes from the current user. (ie. Ryan or Andrew, not SYSTEM or LOCAL.)'ve done research on Google looking how to implement and I've gotten some code on how to retrieve a User Name of the current user but nothing prevailed for what I needed :[ Any ideas? I'm noobish, taking Computer Science in Fall so I'm preparing and still learning.
This code suppose to take the user's input of current balnace, the annual interest rate, the current month, and amount he/she will pay per month. When the CALCULATE button is clicked the program starting with the current month, should compute and display for each month until the balance is reduced to zero, the month, the interest charge, payment, and new balance. But somehow im stuck in an infinite loop and its not displaying anything.

How can I access the current user information via LDAP and VB.Net 2.0*? I found a vbscript that works, but I'd rather have it done in .net

Dim objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser) 'queries active directory for user account

I'm using the Details View control of VWD asp.net 2008
I have a users database table. One of the columns contain the "uniqueidentifier" user's profile ID, created by VWD (from the automatic profiles table).
From my table, I would like to select only the data pertaining to the logged in user.
How do I get the current unique user profileID in general and then how do I use that for my query?
In the configure data source option of the control, I select the check box for "Return Only Unique IDs" and the WHERE option. In this new window I select the Column to the profile userID ... "=" and then assumed I should select Source: "Profile".
Now what should the parameter properties or value be to select only the current logged userID?
OR how can I do this just in C#? There doesn't seem to be any code behind after instering a DB with the VWD controls?
