I'm currently starting work on my first windows service and I've encountered what I find to be a strange error. For some reason the compiler is telling me that a whole bunch of typical classes (such as Image, Bitmap, Graphics, etc) do not exist. For example, these simple lines of code, which work perfectly in a normal project, return a bunch of errors:
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(destWidth, destHeight); //Error 13 The type or namespace name 'Bitmap' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage((Image)b); //Error 17 The type or namespace name 'Image' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have a VB.NET application that I have developed in VS 2008. The app is a basic monitoring app that checks in with a central server every so often, reports the status of events on the PC, and reacts accordingly to commands provided by the central server. The application validates 3 registry keys when it first starts: 2 are variables used in the application (HKLMSoftware[Company Name] -- when to check-in & how often) and the third is just an entry in HKLMSoftwareWindowsCurrentVersionRun to make sure it is started upon reboot. If the appropriate keys do not exist, the app will create them on behalf of the user.The EXE has been packaged and installed on a handful of machines without any issues. We then started having issues when it was installed on 64-bit Vista machines. The app locks up upon start (when trying to write the keys) and writes the below error to the error log:
Error Number: 5
Error Description: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Error Source: mscorlib

View 1 RepliesI'm making a cleaning program and one of the things it does is cleans the recycle bin. How do I do it for Xp, Vista, and 7? I'm on Visual Basic 2010. Also, how do I make it so that it automatically finds the username and uses it when the program deletes a folder. Right now I have it so that you need to enter your username in a textbox and then it uses that for the directories. I know it's something with SystemInformation.UserName.

I've googled the net and found that registry permission elevation is required for admin tasks, Is there away to take registry key ownership through VB.Net code??
my application required the dropping of resources when a button is pressed.It seems when this button is pressed on XP everything works swimmingly, however...
on windows 7 and vista the button simply dosent do anything, ive tried elevating to admin etc..
Is it possibly due to how it creates/drops resources?

View 2 Repliesi have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

I have a program that writes unhandled exception detail to a log file stored in the same directory as the program itself. I am wondering how I can have keep the file in the same location, and not have to worry about a file write access. With Vistas User Access Control enabled, the file is not accessible unless the program is run as an administrator, which I don't need it to be for anything else. The file does not exist all of the time, it only exists after an error occurs. Users are encouraged to email the file to me and then delete the file. Thus the file should only exist if their is a error that the user has not emailed. I really want to keep it in the same directory as the program itself, or within a subdirectory of the programs directory, since the portable version is exactly the same program executable and I would like to keep it that way. I am not sure how to go about setting the file security, set it when I create the file if the file doesn't exist, prompting for Administrator privileges to create it with the security. I was also thinking that I could just set the entire folder containing the program executable when it is installed, and then it would be able to create the file without having to have administrator privileges.

I 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?
