Is it possible if I want make my program only work for certain computer user?
Means the program will check the current system user... and If the user is allow by the program... the program will Run...and If the user not allow by the program the program will display Message..."You are NOT ALLOW to use this program" and the program will close.
I need designing a Windows based computer program that will allow a user to enter some number (n) and a choice of a count up or count down for that many numbers. So for example, the user enters 5 as their number and selects the count down option, the message box displayed would contain the message: "Here are your numbers: 5,4,3,2,1,0"

If the user has accepted the aggreement then call a vb.exe that display the aggrement. I have a login script that runs the vb.exe and uses a button click that records the user info to a csv file, but if the user has already agreed to the policies I do not want it run again.
View 4 RepliesThis would be easier if I were able to have the external computer get its own name and just pass it to a web service as a variable, but I'm not able to do that right now. There are a variable number of computers from several different entities that regurarly access a web service on one of our servers. Changing only some VB.Net code on the server and nothing at all on any of those external computers, how would I be able to get their names programmatically in VB.Net?

View 1 RepliesMy clickonce app has the following pre-requisites: Windows Installer 3.1 .NET Framework 3.5 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs 3.0 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86) The application has been successfully installed on more than 30 computers. All but 2 computers, have had installation problems.
For awhile, one of the two computers in question, would not resolve installation of SQL server 2005 Express edition. It would go through the motions of downloading the program and then attempting an install and after a good 30 minutes, an error would show up indicating that the installation had failed. The user continued to have a nuisance error pop up appear when he'd log into his computer.Long story short, I resolved that problem. So now all of the pre-requisites are installed and confirmed as successfully installed. The clickonce application does not install however. The following log file was created as a result of this error:

I am trying to get my program to identify the user's screen name and input it into a file path. I use vb2008, and here is what i have: Dim strUser As String = My.User.Name This works but retrieve the info in this format: ('Computer Name'/'Username') Is there any way to code the program to get rid of the first part of My.User.Name (the 'Computer Name' part)? Or is there another way that i don't know of where i can identify the users username.

View 2 RepliesHere is what I am doing: I have several servers that are used to run a piece of software. The software is started using a scheduled task. I can have up to three instances of the software running using three scheduled tasks, and three logged in users. Currently I am using a separate program running on two additional servers to make sure these two additional users are logged in, the scheduled task will not run if the user is not logged in. This separate program uses a saved Remote Desktop Session to make sure the users are logged in.

It says that Microsoft Dataengine cannot open the database. The user's computer doesn't have Access installed, does it need to be installed? or can I install a framework or application to avoid installing Access at the user's computer?

View 3 RepliesI have vbscript code that enumerates user profiles from this registry path:
HKLMSOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionProfileList.
How can this be done using Visual Basic 2010? Is there a class or method that I would use to accomplish the same thing or would I have to read the registry path into an array as you do with vbscript? My application will be ran on the local computer just so you know this information is not being gathered from across the network. I have been looking for awhile and haven't found anything that will work so far.Once I have the user profiles from the computer, I will populate this list into a drop-down combo box.
I'm creating a CD that when inserted into a CD-Rom will AutoRun, which brings up the program starting with a splash screen, then the first window form. All this works, no problem. On the first window form I have a button (one of many) all buttons work (so far) except this one button. (I actually haven't test3d the buttonjs to see if they work on / from a CD yet, but they work in Debug).
I would like to have the user click the button, and have that button be tied to a zip file or an exe file that is in a folder on my CD, that will be downloaded to the user's computer. I would like the usual window to come up asking the user where the user would like to save the file, the user will choose the folder, click the save button and the file downloads from the CD to the hard drive of the user's computer, so the user can open it later. It doesn't have to Run from the CD, it is just to download to be accessed later.
Some files will be a Zip and others are Exe files that I would like to have downloaded to the user's PC by way of a button click. Of course the user's computer will need to be able to know which drive the CD is in.
This is what I've tried and doesn't seem to work...Have not tried it from directly from CD (Haven't tried anything directly from the CD as of yet, but after this problem my next step is try and make a AutoRun CD and test the program).
Process.Start(Application.StartupPath &
"SoftwareApp1.zip")

View 8 RepliesI am creating a project with VB2008 Express Edition. The end result will be a CD containing tech manuals in pdf format which will be accessed via various buttons on a form. I am going to include Acrobat Reader Redisributable on the CD which the user can install by pressing a button on the form if required. What I want to do is this:- When the user inserts the CD into the PC, the form will load.When the form loads, I want to search the users PC to determine if Acrobat Reader is installed.If the Acrobat Reader program is not found on the system, then display a MessageBox to inform the user to install the reader from the CD.Would this involve searching the users registry? I would need to insert in my Form1_Load sectionTarget systems would be Windows XP/ Vista with programs on the C: drive as default.

View 14 RepliesI am moving from vb6 to vs2010. I installed vs2010 but no vb program, even the simplest will run. As soon as I load a solution either vshost32.exe or vshost32-clr.exe will shut down.If I create a vb application, even with just a form, a button, it will not run but will exit with the following.
'WindowsApplication1.exe' (Managed (v2.0.50727)): Loaded 'C:WINDOWSassemblyGAC_32mscorlib2.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089mscorlib.dll'
The program '[3000] WindowsApplication1.exe: Managed (v2.0.50727)' has exited with code -2146233082 (0x80131506).
If I create an exe it will run on other computers but not mine, exe's that are created on other computers will run there but not on mine, so it doesn't seem to be a vs2010 problem but something else. I removed and reinstalled .net framework, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 but that didn't help either. Since exe's that I create will run on other computers but not mine, I suspect it's .net framework but other than uninstalling and reinstalling it, I have no idea what to check.
