2003I've implemented Forms Authentication on one particular subfolder on one of my sites. My code works perfectly on my development machine, but there is a slight problem on the live server.If you browse to the admin subfolder, if you are not authenticated, you will be redirected to the login page. The Master Page footer also contains a link to the login page; when the user logs in, that link is supposed to change to a link to the admin page:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim link As HtmlAnchor = FindControlIterative(Me, "Login")
If HttpContext.Current.Request.LogonUserIdentity.IsAuthenticated Then
[code]....
This works fine on my dev PC, but on the live server, IsAuthenticated() returns False, and thus the Login link is not replaced by the Admin link. However, if browse to the admin subfolder, I can access the content fine; there is no redirection to the login page.
I have a several form elements that I am dynamically creating with javascript when a user changes a number value in a textbox, by filling the innerHTML of a div like so:
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "<div class='field'> ";
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "<textarea name='textbox1" + suffix + "' type='text' id='textbox1" + suffix + "' value='' rows='4' cols='20' class='field'></textarea> ";
dfinnerhtml = dfinnerhtml + "</div> ";
Then, in the aspx.vb code behind, when the user clicks the Save button, I run through a series of Requests to try and add the values that are in these form elements to a SQL string:
Dim DFTestValue1 As String DFTestValue1 = Request("textbox" & c.ToString)
where c is a loop counter to the # of textboxes created (the input value mentioned above that triggers the create) The problem here is that this code works in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox or Chrome. The Request() value returns null and nothing is saved. I hope I've explained this well enough.
I'm struggling to return user details from AD using LDAP, after i have authenticated that the user exists. I am using a simple auth method as follows:
Function AuthenticateUser(path As String, user As String, pass As String) As Boolean
Dim de As New DirectoryEntry(path, user, pass, AuthenticationTypes.Secure)
Try
Dim ds As DirectorySearcher = New DirectorySearcher(de)
Dim result As SearchResult = ds.FindOne()
[Code]...
the problem is that "distinguishedName" returns "DC=our-domain,DC=co,DC=uk" and "name" returns just "our-domain", not the name of the user that has just been auth'ed
Note: the displayName.text outputs are purely for debug purposes.I have tried various combos of requests but nothing seems to return USER details. ETA: to the security police: this is all within a https connection, I'm not sending passwords about in plain text!
I'm using the MAPI code by Dave Brooks.I am attempting to programatically send out a Crystal Report that is generated.When I run through the code without threading everything runs fine. The problem is when I use threading I get the return error "General MAPI failure [2]".I have never used threading before and understand that there are dangers involved. Can anyone provide any insight into this issue? NOTE: I've removed exception handling to make the code clearer.[code]

View 2 RepliesI am connecting to my mail server using IMAP and Telnet. Once I am connected I am marking all items in the inbox as read. Some times the inbox will only have a couple of e-mails, sometimes the inbox may have thousands of e-mails. I am storing the response from the server into a Byte array, but the Byte array has a fixed length. [code]...
But the response from the server varies based on how many e-mails are successfully marked as read since I get one line of confirmation for each e-mail processed. There are times where the response may contain only 10-20 lines, other times it will contain thousands of lines. Is there any way for me to be able to get the response from the server in its entirety? I mean it seems like I would have to know when the server was done processing my request, but I'm not sure how to go about accomplishing this.
So to reiterate my question is: How can I check in my program to see when the server is done processing a response?

I have two web servers with public IPs, for example Server1 with IP 111.111.111.111 and Server2 with IP 222.222.222.222. see the picture:
There is an asp.net webform at Server 1. My intention is:
For every http request to that webform in Server1, the Server1 just pass the request's information to Server2 for logic processing and subsequently Server2 sends the response back to client (i.e. normal browser)
My questions are:
What information that Server1 needs to pass to Server2, so that Server2 able to send response back to client? note that at Server2, there is a TcpListener instance. This TcpListener instance acting as receiver for that webform request information from Server1. What is the suitable object (i.e. the class in System.Net or related namespace such as System.Net.Sockets) at Server2 for sending response back to client? Suitable here means able to meet my intention.

I have a vb.net 2.0 winforms project that is full of all kinds of business reports (generated with Excel interop calls) that can be run "on-demand". Some of these reports filter through lots of data and take a long time to run - especially on our older machines around the office.I'd like to have a system where a report request can be made from the client machines, some listener sees it, locates a server with low-load, runs the report on that server, and emails the result to the user that requested it

View 2 RepliesRequest format is unrecognized for URL unexpectedly ending Error I have 3 webservices on windows 2003 server. All worked fine before and are called from one .net application on another server. Recently I added a few new webservice calls, builded and published . All webservices works fine on development locally. On production server all stopped working.
I would like to know how to solve the problem and how to capture the failure of webservice call. The application that is calling those webservices starts new thread to process and shows user Thanks you will get an email. However webservices stopped working and it took couple days to learn that nothing is happening, after research I learned that webservices do not work anymore.

We have an in-house developed VB.Net Windows Forms application that is losing users' individual connections to the SQL Server 2008 R2 database.The bolded message below is what appears.
A transport-level error has occurred when sending the request to the server. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.)I have looked at many numerous articles both from Microsoft and others, but have been unable to pinpoint the issue.Sometimes it occurs when the user has been away from the open application for a long-time; others maybe less than 20 minutes.

View 6 RepliesI have written server code in vb.Net. I want it to read to variables sent by another server's HTTP 'GET' request.

View 2 RepliesSo I'm creating this app that will install SQL server 2008 express, add some SQL users and then import a database.
Is there a way to create users for SQL express in Vb.net?
Is it feasible to deploy a VB.NET windows forms application with a SQL Server back end where no users have direct access to SQL Server? The idea is that there is no way someone at the client site with admin capabilities could mess up the data definition, or directly alter data. I always assumed that somebody with the client should get admin capabilities, but perhaps not.
The application will have to have the capability of creating logins, doing backups, perhaps running scripts (encrypted?) For upgrades, and whatever else a user with elevated privileges would do. I guess the application would have a hard-coded account with admin privileges for this purpose. Is this a common way to deploy an application? The application uses SQL Server Express, which is installed with the application. The database will be installed with the application.
Is it possible to create a credential for RDP using VB 2010?For example, to do this using win7 GUI:
I go to credential manager and choose add a credential. I then enter TERMSRV/myserver and enter user name and password.
I've been trying to develop a VB application which retrieves a lot of information from an XML file on our secure intranet. So far I've been using...
Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create(xmlUrl)
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(username, password)
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim str As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Where username and password are predefined. What I need is a way of utilising the Windows credential manager to handle this. Ideally, I like it to pop up a credential prompt at application start, and then store the credentials for later use. So far so easy, but I want to be able to use the tick box to save the credentials back to the store, so taht next time the application is used, they are already filled in.
So far I've been investigating the CredentialsDemo from MSDN, but have been unable to adapt the routines to a web request from the given example of a SQL request. In fact I've not even been able to get the demo working adapting it to my own SQL server!It utilises the CredUIPromptForCredentials function. Is this the right way to go? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
I registered a domain and created a (Windows) web site via [URL].I created a simple Hello World web service using VWD 2008 Express. I have no idea why it put the web service into the stats folder, but that is a different issue.If I type [URL] into the address bar of my IE 6, I am prompted for user name and password, which I enter. I get a page listing my web services (Only one: HelloWorld) and other information. If I click the HelloWorld link, I get the appropriate response.Bottom line: the web service uses SOAP and it works.
However, if I create a Windows application (vb) in Visual Studio 2005 to use the web service and try to connect to that same address (Add Web Reference), I get asked:"The server needs to authenticate your request. Your credentials will be sent to the server in clear text. Do you want to continue?" I click yes, and I see a Discovery Credential dialog box. It asks for 4 things.
1)Url: (The same address as above already filled in)
2)User name: (I enter my user name)
3)Password: (I enter the password)
4)Domain: (I enter mydomain)
Of course "mydomain" is a standin for the real domain name I typed in.I click Ok. The information apparently is rejected and the dialog appears again.What can I do to make this work. The web site has IIS 6 with front page extensions. This is shared hosting and I do not have access to change anything about the IIS settings.
