I started learning programming using VB.NET a few months ago, so I'm still like a total noob at this, and I'm not experienced enough with the Microsoft Visual Basic Library to get my answer. I have done some Google searches, and still haven't found any relevant answers.
Okay, suppose I want make a VB.NET desktop app. that displays the number "1" in a textbox when a button is pressed... I can easily make that program, but what if I want the program to, on my remote command, display the number "2" instead when the button is pressed?
Is it possible to write code that reads gmail messages? I know that gmail is pretty open about it's SMTP and POP ports and stuff.[code]...
I have created a VB.NET program using windows forms. The program runs on a remote PC and displays information on a screen. The computer does not even have a mouse or keyboard connected to it. The program shows the information based on the file that is loaded.I want to be able to change this file remotely to another file that is already on the remote PC. I can't use a graphical remote desktop client as we have very limited bandwidth.So, my idea is to change the file using the command prompt.I'm not sure how to do this. Should I use something like this and load DosModule first:[code]How would I then read commands that is send to the program? I also only want one instance of the program running.
I have an application in visual basic .net 2008 that allows us to configure our application on different servers, as part of this I need the ability to start/stop windows services on remote machines from the application.I am currently using the following code
I've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.
I need to create a shared folder on the desktop for a specific user on a specific pc and assign full control sharing and security permissions for only tat user and a domain admin user. I need to do this for 300+ PCs. Going to each user manually and askin them if i can do tat on their pcs is very time consuming.
Is there a way i can code this and do this remotely where i can input,
1)the computer name/IP Address
2) the folder name i want to create
3) the user for which i have to create it for (just basically goin to doc and settin.>user name> desktop )
and i can achieve the folder creation for tat user with full control to that user and a domain admin user for sharing and security
I have several programs written in VB2008 on a network shared drive. Multiple PC's which have access to this drive run the programs. The problem is when I want to upgrade the program or a file/picture with changes, either I cannot overwrite the .exe file because someone is running it, or for example, a background picture on an open form is loaded and then I cannot change the picture on the server. I thought of placing a timing loop in the programs to frequently check a file on the server, which when I need to make a change, I can fill with an appropriate trigger word (like "exit") that would have the program terminate and be unable to restart until I change the file to "OK", but this seems rather crude. I assume there's a better and more elegant method.
At my house we got 6 computers and 5 laptops. Not I want to be able to control them remotely without using external dekstop management or something else. So i can control when my kids can use the computer or not
So I came up with the idea of creating an irc server that listens to commands that I type from my main computer. The commands are no problem for me to program but the irc server itself looks pretty hard. I've been looking on google but cant find a good source to learn it. some other ideas than using irc protocol?
Ok, I haven't started this yet, but I'm just thinking out loud for a project I have coming up.
One approach I am thinking about pursuing involves "messaging" my application (windows form in VS 2008 pro) from a mobile device, whether it be a laptop, phone, pda, etc.
is this possible? (1st question) and what is the "correct" implementation to do this? (2nd question)
The idea is to remotely disable the email sending feature of my program by the user (owner of the application) to kill email alerts if they are not at their computer.
I have an MSI that installs silently and I need to install it on remote machines via a VB.NET app. I would rather not use WMI so is there a builtin mechanism to do this?
I am in the process of designing a computer control program to control a HF communications receiver (radio), and have found a problem with the Serial port. I am using VB Express Edition 2008. This module of the program is supposed to take an input string from another part of the program, format it, break it into 4 bytes, and send it to the radio in hex form via COM port 1. The problem comes in when you try to enter a frequency with an 8 or a 9 in it. The 8 or 9 is usually replaced by 45, ex.-input 9900, receiver tune 4545. The exact same thing happens with 8's, input 8800 and receiver tune 4545. All other numbers other than 8 or 9 work fine. The strange part of it is that sometimes the 8's and 9's work, and work correctly. For instance, 900, 1900, 2900, 3900, 4900, 5900, 6900, and 7900 all work correctly. This led me to believe that is may only be when the 8 or 9 is in the first position, but that is not the case, it also shows up in other positions as well. All other frequencies that do not have 8 or 9 in them also work. I ran into this same problem with VB Express 2005, and worked on it for weeks before giving up and going back to VB6.0. This same module (with exception of the port open command) runs flawlessly under VB6. I have even tried importing the MSCOMM control from VB6, but it gives the same results. In de-bugging mode, all of the inputs, decimal and hex seem to be correct, so the problem must come in after you click the command button, but before it leaves the COM port.
I have a program called "Blue Coat K9 Web Protection" installed on all of the computers, which filter unwanted content on the internet. My problem is that every-time one of the children wish to access a website that has been unintentionally blocked, I have to enter my password to bypass the filter for that page, which can get quite annoying having to run around the house. To access the AdminCP, you have to enter an IP address in the browser on the local machine (127.0.0.1:2372)so you can change the settings.I wish to create a program that will allow me to remotely access the Admin page to unblock any sites needed from my computer.
Im using vb.net and developed a project of payroll processing i need to access this project from another system which is connected via LAN by which everyone can use it, but i cant get it this is my connection string which im using .

Is possible for vb.net to create an oledbconnection based on a url?
We have a program that uses ms access as the back end database, which is stored on a local server. The issue we are having is that our office is split in two locations. The remote users are having unacceptable speed issues since they have to communicate over the vpn. Im trying to find a way to either place the database somewhere that is quickly accessable to both offices, or to create a copy of the database on the remote server and somehow sync the two databases periodically.
I have written a conversion (vb6) tool that migrates data (SQL 2008) from one database to another and I make some temporary files (.bak files)I would like to delete after the conversion finishes. The application will not be running on the SQL Server so I need to remotely delete the files. Is there a way to delete a file remotely without having to use an administrative share or the xcmd in SQL Server?

Usually, when I reset the IIS of a remote server, I have to use "Remote Desktop Connection", log in, and go to DOS , and type "iisreset". Now I'm wondering is it possible to do the exact same thing without using "Remote Desktop Connection" application? Could this be done programmitically and remotely (because the program will not be running on the actual server)? Of course, I'll be providing the username and password within the program.

I'm developing an application that needs to Map a network drive for a domain user logged into a domain PC from a remote location. I have tried numerous different things with different levels of success but none with the required functionality. - First, I used WMI to create a process that would run Net Use with no luck: Net Use would ask for a user name and password to connect to the share instead of using the User's credentials.- Second I generated a script (wshNetwork) that would be copied to the remote PC and used WMI to once again create a process that would run wscript in command prompt to execute the copied script.
The script would run successfully (as evident by code placed to fill in a text file when the script completed) but the network drive was not added.- Third I created a program that would be copied to the user's PC which would map the drive using Windows Network API. Again, I used WMI to execute the program as a proccess with the results the same as the script. The application would run successfully but the drive was not added.- Fourth, I edited the user's registry to add the drive. This worked, however the mapped drive was not usable through Windows Explorer without a reboot.
Unfortunately, one of the requirements of the application is to avoid rebooting the remote PC.I have arguably had the greatest success with the following:- I used WMI to generate a scheduled task on the remote PC that would run a script (wshNetwork), an application (Win API) or the Net Use command to map the drive. All resulted in the drive being properly mapped and visable through windows explorer with the files accessable. However, the new map would be labeled "Disconnected Network Drive" and the drive could not be removed (error: network connection could not be found) and the driver letter could not be used without rebooting the system. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? Unfortunately I can't use wshController to run a remote script because a majority of the PCs on the domain are not configured to use it.
I am trying to remotely connect to servers on a network. However, an exception occurs and I can never connect. The code I am using to connect to the servers does work because I have had someone else test it. The exception is shown below. Is this a setting with VB or with my computer?
