VS 2008 Detect Server/Domain - Adjust Settings?
Jan 31, 2012
My application communicates with DB's, images, etc. which are located on our company server/domain.
In real-world use, the app is used only by users on this server/domain. I have connection strings and various other settings which point to the sever for the user. While I'm developing/testing, I may or may not be connected/authenticated to the server/domain. There are many times when I am not.
Currently, I manually change each setting to point to a local address containing copies of needed items when I'm not on the server/domain.My goal is to develop a method to automatically determine whether that domain is available. If not, adjust settings as needed in code. This is for my benefit, while developing.
I'm fishing for various methods/techniques people have developed or use to accomplish this.

I was wondering if it is possible to change the Proxy settings("Automatically Detect Settings") in IE without making the change to the registry. I wasn't sure if the Hive is similar in all operating systems, So I figured there has to be an API to make the change, also without having the restart the IE or the computer for that matter.

I'm building an application that connects to a SQL Server 2008 database via connection string. The thing is, since the computer loading the app (or the user, in either case) is outside the Active Directory domain, I can't use Windows Authentication to connect to the DB. But when I include the database credentials, it won't let me connect either, telling me that since the computer logging in is from an untrusted domain, access is denied.
The connection string goes like this:
connectionString = "Data Source=" + ServerName + ";Initial Catalog=" + DatabaseName + _
";Integrated Security=SSPI;User ID=" + UserID + ";Password=" + Pwd

In a single server Windows domain, does anyone know how to get the servername.For example, in my test environment, we have a single Windows Small Business Server 2008 called horatio, it is the domain controller for longtest.local.[code]However, I cannot seem to grab the servername, I need a function like :GetDomainServer() that will return horatio (from the example above.

I have a server that is not in the domain, but has data files on it, I would like users to be able to access. But don't want to manage individual accounts on the machine. With my application that i have written that gets the data(as long as I am logged on) how can I let any user in the main domain access to the data through my application?

I have a function that works perfectly when I attempt to add a user from the same domain into a group of the same domain.
Function AddUserToGroup(ByVal strUserDN As String, ByVal strGroupDN As String, ByVal strGRPDC As String, ByVal strUserDC As String) As Boolean
Dim oUser As DirectoryEntry
[Code]....
The error is actually being thrown on the Invoke line, but as I said earlier, if the user is in the same domain, this works perfectly.

I've searched around but can't find a clear answer for this. From my winforms VB2010 app, I'd like to be able to detect the country of the user's PC at runtime. Specifically, all I really need to detect is whether the user is in Australia or Canada.Most things I've seen will say "have a look at System.Globalization.CultureInfo", but with no clear example. I also know that the old-school "GetLocaleInfo" API can be used for this as well. I do have some code using the latter, which detects Australia when LOCALE_ICOUNTRY returns a value of 61. However, that won't work for Canada, as it returns 1, which is the same as USA (I know that these are based on telephone country codes).

I am using Visual studio 2008 and I need to be able to adjust a font size using an expression.So far I have,
IIf((Len(First(Fields!CardID.Value, "data"))> 30), "12 pt", "72 pt")
I know I have to reference the LEN variable to get the total character size, but I'm not sure how.

I am trying to create a basic application that will allow me to open a .wav file and let me adjust the volume of the actual file: like raise the volume by 30% or 10% or some type of other measurement.
I'd like to then re-save the .wav file with the adjust volume.

I have a program which draws a U.S. map on the screen. This display looks great on my wide-screen (16:9) monitor, but it looks a little stretched horizontally on my wife's standard (4:3) monitor. Is there some way I can tell VB to automatically adjust the picture when a standard resolution is being used?
If not, am I correct in thinking that standard definition monitors are going the way of the dinosaur, much like is happening with TV's, and in the future we'll be seeing more and more wide-screen monitors.

I am rewritting my application to conform to ms standards. We used to save all settings to registry for user settings, servername, size and locations.so we are now saving them into My.Settings app.config the only problem is that each time there is an update clickonce will isntall the newupdate but now all settings are loist and user has to save everything all over again..
I am trying to follow the book here but it seems i keep getting stuck somewhere. registry has worked fine for years but i understand we must move on, but if stuff like this happens then i just wasted a long time converting all code to conform for it to not work..

I have created a settings-file for my plug-in-based app. When the mainApp writes the settings to the file, the pluginApp should read the settings from the settings-file (when opening or at runtime even better), but somehow it reads the settings from the app.config-file. This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.

I have a program that I copy a file from one server to another. This has been working well if the servers are on the same domain.I now need to copy a file to a server on a different domain. If I were to do this manually it would prompt me for my username and password.
I don't see any way to put a username and password with doing an IO.File.Copy. Is there a better way to do this?IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest)

I saw that you can also use a "Settings File" (Add new Item)to add your settings instead of the application settings. But I can't seem to write any values to the file. Someone with experience with the "Settings1.settings"?
