I want to get flexible extension .jpeg or .jpg or .JPG or .JPEG.
And then Another question is "How can i know Image is valid or not?"
I want to know what rights the user has for a given folder on a network drive. But I can't find anything that does just this.
I have used DirectoryInfo.GetAccessControl and DirectorySecurity.GetAccessRules, etc. to get a collection (AuthorizationRuleCollection) of rules. But that gives me all the access groups and their rights. I don't need that (I guess I can see if I can find code that gets which returns the security groups for the current user and then compare those to the collection, but this seems awkward.)
Or I can write code that tries to create a file, delete it, etc. which is easy to do, but not quite accurate (if the user can't create a file, how can I see if the user can delete one, if the user has create, but not delete rights, I get a bunch of temp files, etc.)
All I need to know is if the current user has read write, read only, create, and/or delete rights to a given folder (and I guess file might also be nice - I would assume similar code.)
I have to believe that its a really simple thing. But Googling it and searching on the forums here didn't turn up much (unless I want code to change the users rights - which I don't.)
To create a dynamic folder in local drive it was generating, if suppose we need to create a folder in network path means error say that cannot access to the path is denied, how to resolve this issue , i m working on vb.net
View 1 RepliesSince it will be run by the user I don't want the user to have to do anything but send the IT department the log file it creates.
What I want to do is see if a folder on the network can be opened successfully. I do not want to ping it, but actually open it and see if it loads. I can do this for a website by retrieving the http status code, but I can't find any references to something similar for explorer.exe. Here is a basic flowchart of this part of the program:
ping server --yes--> access \server_namefolder
--no--> access \server_IPfolder
--no--> Authentication Issue
--yes--> DNS Issue
Note also that just checking authentication won't work because it could also be a DNS problem. I guess I could check them both, but I would rather do it this way if possible (and I don't know how to go about checking either one)
how you can allow vb.net to access a file/folder within a domain group and retrieves it permission setting to determine if the user have access or denied access to a certain folder?

View 2 RepliesAll i am trying to do is read and write files to a shared folder on a network in visual basic (VS 2010). I can go to the folder through windows without a problem and without being prompted for a password. However when i try to do it through visual basic, it cant find the directory. Here is my small snippet of code that i (hope) is telling me that the program cannot connect to the folder. [code] Are there any known issues with VS 2010 that may cause this? Maybe something else in my code that could have an effect? This is in my form_load event though, so it is literally one of the first things that runs.

View 6 RepliesI have a treeview control which is being used to browse various folder on the users system drive. It can also be set up to connect network folders using UNC paths e.g "serverfiles". At the moment I'm getting a list of Directories by using My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories however this obviously fails when the folder is password protected.
Is there a way that I can get Windows to open the credentials dialog as you would see in Windows Explorer and deal with the credentials side so then the user name & password is cached as well?
assist me to create a form in which i need to show the documets like "*.doc,*.xls,*.txt,*.pdf" which is in network share folder
View 1 RepliesHere is my idea so far: I have a bunch of computers connected in a local network. One of them is a MySQL server, one will have a vb.NET program wich will act as a "second server" and the rest will be different clients. What I want to do is that the "second server" will send out some kind of message or network package to some of the clients in the network, and they will execute a code based on what message it is, or what kind of package it is. I'll give you a simple example:

In my app, I need two separate items. I need one item to be the administration panel that can edit information being shown on a remote computer, and I also need another item that will display the information. How do I get my program to talk across a network to edit the information being shown on computer 2? I'll also need to know then how to make the installer ask which part of the program it needs to install, and then install the appropriate part.

View 2 RepliesIs it possible to use a string as an array? I mean:' I have several arrays
Dim a10() As Integer = {530}
Dim a15() As Integer = {370, 231}
Dim a20() As Integer = {305, 176, 126}
'I declare a variable as a string and I assign the name of an array to it
Dim tablaalfa As String = "a10"
'I retrieve data from the array using the name of the variable instead:
lbl1.Text = tablaalfa(2)
I guess it doesn't work in this way?
I'm writing a program to examine logs of various servers on our network..they're not on our domain but i can map a drive to them by authenticating each time from my LP (which is on the domain)
my question is... how do i perform that same authentication with VB..

i'd like to either have a pop up box to auth as i would when i browse to the remote PC... OR be able to set it statically in the code (the servers all have the same admin login + password)
I have a .NET application (VB.NET) that runs against a MS Access database. Every data request connects to the access database, runs and returns the query and closes the connection back again. I placed the database on a windows xp 32-bit machine. I have two clients on which I installed the .NET application. Both clients are running windows 7 professional 32-bit. Now I have a performance problem with this.
When I use the first client it runs fine. All data is shown very fast. When I than use the second client, it takes some 10 seconds to connect to the database, fetch the data and close the database connection. When i ask for other data on that second client, it all runs fine, until I request data from the first client than back again. Than it takes again 10 seconds on the first client before my data is fetched.

but the 'Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications' IDE that I'm typing this into seems to have no idea what I'm talking about (text just turns red).
Can I just not do this through the built in VB editor or can I simply load a library or something to make it work?
Sorry but I'm very new to VB and to Access so search results are not specific enough for me to understand - lord knows I've tried.

View 18 RepliesI am looking for a way to possibly intercept the point that a file is being accessed on a network share. Specifically before it is determined whether the user has access to the file or not.The goal will be to grant access to that file if the file request is coming from a specific process and that user currently does not have access.

I have *.mdb DataBase with 20 tables each table have more than 10 fields, i'm trying to automate the MDB file from a network like that 5 PCS + One vb.net exe program (5 users) working on the same time on the exe that is connected to the database , my questions are :
1) How much risk is it to put the database into one (shared) folder and connect it to the program ?
2) What is the best way to establish this method ?
3) Is there any alternatives ?

View 1 RepliesMy 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?
View 4 RepliesI 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,
I've made a simple knowledgebase program which contains example documents. The documents are stored in a folder, and in an accessdatabase stands the information about the documents.The program also includes a simple search option. The program itself is located in a folder on a network computer.It has to be a network program for collegues can add other examples.Now it gets weird. at least in my opinion.When I run the program locally -> no problem.When I run the program from another network PC -> no problem.But when I run the program from a network Thin Client -> shaboom..At least when I enter a search option and the connection to the database is opened:"Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security pollcy. To grand this application the required permission, contact you system administrator or use the Microsoft .NET framework configuration tool."[code]Now I've found a LOT of topics in this forum and many others, and it's clear that apps from another network location are run without "full trust". And the trust issue can be handled with caspol or web.config. Although caspol is a mystery to me and web.config didn't seem to work.But since it's so explicitly crashing on Thin Clients.
