Restrict Access To AVI Files?

Aug 7, 2010

I need to create a helpsystem for my work. There's two user types ... common users and admin users. The common user needs to se all stuff except admin stuff - admin must see it all.

I use Camtasia to make screencasts - AVI files, which I need to put in my helpsystem. Seams like I can't stream the AVI from embedded resources, so I guess I need to save the AVI files to the users harddrive.

I need to copy all stuff to the client PC in case of network problems.

how to I prevent common users going to their harddrives and watch admin AVI files?

Restrict Access To A Tab In A Form Application?

Apr 25, 2011

I am building a simple windows form application in Visual Basic 2010 with two tabs. It's a program that will allow a business to enter contact information for display to an end user client.

One tab displays the business contact information for the end user client, which I have the data filled from a App.config file.The other tab acts as a settings page. The business fills in their contact data on the settings tab for the App.config file.

Once the business contact information is entered into through the settings tab, I want to be able to restrict the end user client access to the settings tab.It doesn't need to be highly secure, just a way to prevent the average end user from getting into the settings tab.

Restrict A User From Using A Double Clicking Event With Access Level?

May 10, 2009

I have a login page, which a user will have to enter username, password and accesslevel. Accesslevel is either 1 or 2. 1 for admin and 2 for users who are restricted from using certain functions. I have this module set up so that I can make use of the accesslevel throughout the forms that I have.

Module ModuleAccessLevel
Public AccessLevel As Integer

Arjun taught me how to make use of this module, so now I know how to restrict users from using certain buttons, toolstrips by doing the following:

Access A Networked Drive Via Web?

Feb 4, 2010

We have around 2000 staff. Each has a shared drive to store some of their files. This shared drive points to a central location on our network.[code]...

Each user will have a folder within the root "ournetwork" labeled with their username. I do not have to worry about the directory creation as that's already done for me. These users are all tied into our AD for authentication. Folder name == AD username.

We would like the ability to allow our users to access their mapped "F" drive from outside our network through a web page. I understand that the programming involved (assuming it comes to that) will not rely on their mapped drive but rather the UNC path as posted above.

I am open to suggestions on how to get this accomplished. ASP.NET? Is there just an IIS solution like WebDAV? (although client-side WebDAV on win 7 seems to be broken, so that may be off the table).

Access Pen Drive (MP3 Player) Via FileInfo?

May 13, 2009

I've got a Samsung Q1 attached to my computer, and I was hoping to use the FileInfo / DirectoryInfo objects to access the file on the device, however what I right click on a file in windows explorer I get a location of COMPUTER/Q1/DATACASTS/mine.mp3, and when I feed this into the DirectoryInfo object I get "Invalid network drive"

Something tells me I'm going about this the wrong way ... Is there a differant object I shoud use, or is my location string incorrect in format

VS 2010 Mapped Drive Access?

Jan 5, 2012

I am trying to run a visual studio 2010 app from a windows 2003 server machine that writes xml files to a folder stored on a remote windows 2008 server. I mapped the server drive and can access the folder manually but in the code the 'access is denied' error is hit when the file path declaration is hit for that 2008 server folder. I checked the access writes to that folder and made sure it is shared for that user. Also the user I am logged into on the source server has admin rights so should it not be able to access the mapped drive through the application?How do I grant my app access to that or any folder on that drive on the remote server? I had this issue before but cannot remember what I did to clear this up.

DB/Reporting :: Can't Open Access Database On Mapped Drive

Dec 8, 2008

I can't open an Access database on a mapped drive. However it works if I use the UNC path. how I can get this to work? See the code below for an example of what works and what doesn't...

Code:
mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\tiger-2000dvb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' This works
mConnString = "provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb" ' this does not work
Dim objConn As New OleDbConnection(mConnString)

[code].....

The error message I receive is...'T:vb_mt7MTrackBE.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.I've done the obvious and verified that t:vb_mt7MtrackBE.mdb is a valid path.

How To Access Network Drive Through Usual System.IO Classes

Feb 28, 2010

My software handles multiple operations on files, and I have now finished writing the related functions, using the System.IO classes. I now need to add support for network drives. Using a mapping works very well (although Directory.GetFiles is a bit low, and I don't know why), but I'd now like to be able to deal directly with paths such as \192.168.0.10Shared FolderMyDrive. Is there any way to handle this type of paths other than mounting the drive to an available drive letter, using the newly generated path, and then unmounting?

Mysteriously Lost Access To A Mapped Network Drive?

Aug 5, 2009

I had a basic text file reader/writer program that wrote and read from a mapped, shared drive up and running for a couple weeks. I wanted to add just a couple more things that shouldn't have effected the program (the ability to write another text file), and now the program can't find the shared drive. The error I get is: Could not find file '<file location>' with <file location> filled in with either the mapped name of the drive (X:) or the unmapped name (\servercomputer). Both are copied directly from windows explorer, so I know the path is right. I'm a bit of a beginner, but I'm pretty sure that all the required permissions are in place, and all users have access to this drive.

To further complicate things, it is not consistant. Some commands appear to have no trouble reading off the mapped name, but don't read the unmapped name, and vice versa. Others won't take either. Sometimes the code will execute perfectly up to the middle of the code (accessing the shared drive a couple times), and then it will give this error. If anyone could point me in the right direction,

Access Cryptainer Virtual Drive Projects Using Windows 7 & Net 2005?

Jan 17, 2011

I am trying to migrate from XP & Net 2005 to Windows 7 & Net 2010 My intention was to replicate net 2005 first & get projects working before installing net 2010, as I envisaged all sorts of learning tasks which I could resolve at a snaill pace whilst still being able to operate with net 2005

Stage 1 was to load 2005 on Windows 7, no problems yet.

Stage 2 open the Virtual Cryptainer drive

Stage 3 load a project ( was never a problem with XP)

Stage 4 project errors reported as not being able to access linked modules in another folder

Windows 7 seems to have more folder security/permissions than XP, so I altered as many folders being associated with the project but to no avail.By changing the virtual drive folder permissions are they amended on the drive folders (if so how would this affect going back to XP)

are the folder permissions somehow stored in the registry, which means if I restore an old virtual drive from backup, does W7 now know the permissions & apply them to the back up drive, even though those folders were never accessed in W7?By the way, anybody reading this that does not know about Cryptainer, should look at it very seriously, I now have no data files on drive C, & all my data files in the cryptainer vault are compact & virtually impossible to be opened without a password up to 100 char long!

Finding Physical Drive Number Using Drive Letter?

Jun 16, 2009

I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.

In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.

(Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

Getting Physical Drive Number From Drive Letter?

Jun 17, 2009

I am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.

Physical Drive Number From Drive Letter

Jun 16, 2009

I have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.

The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.

My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.

Forms :: Determine A Dynamic Drive Letter For A Directory On The Removable Drive And Then Open That Directory In An Explorer Window

Feb 19, 2009

First off a short background of the project I am working on- I am developing a program that will be run off removable media (i.e. USB Flash drive). This will be a �virtual desktop� which you will be able to take with you and have the same �desktop� on any system. As we know drive letters can change with each host system the drive is plugged into, I need to be able to determine the path for the flash drive and access a specific folder ( i.e. My Documents)

I have an picture box(representing the icon) placed on my form (form1) and when I click the icon I want to be able to open and view the a specific folder from the portable drive. I need a click event that will determine a dynamic drive letter for a directory on the removable drive and then open that directory in an explorer window.

Check If Logical Drive Is CD/DVD Drive

Jun 16, 2009

Is it possible to check if a Logical device gathered through a WMI search request is a CD/DVD Drive? Right now, I can get the path of every Win32_LogicalDisk through WMI, but E: (for me) is my DVD drive and unless there is a disc, my program fails because it tries to count the number of folders/files on the disc.

Ultimately, I'd like to be able to tell if it is a CD/DVD drive then check to see if there is a disc there before I do anything else to it. Can it be done using WMI?
