I have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:

1.I�d like to publish a free vb.net desktop application for the users to download and use meanwhile I�d like to collect usage information ex: user ip address, user�s registration information, used features, time spent� if the user allows the report to be sent back.
2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.

View 2 Replieswe are testing our visual basic application so it can be run under Windows Server 2008 R2.
We are experiencing problems caused by UAC when writing logfiles and configurationfiles.
Normally the admin configures the application so that it can be run by normal users without having to make
the whole configuration again. We do the config by writing some data into files that would have been placed
into the folder of the program. Now with UAC those files are placed in the users folder and therefor config files
are not unique anymore, also the logfiles.
I've been digging into this now for some time but have not found out, on how these configurations and logs
should be done right in Windows 2008 so that its for EVERY user, without turning UAC off.
Is it possible to get all my network users' local IPs using VB 2008?
View 6 RepliesWanting to do something like this:
VB.NET
Private Sub MaximizeCare()
For Each p As Process In Process.GetProcessesByName("clinical_carestation")
ShowWindow(p.MainWindowHandle, SHOW_WINDOW.SW_MAXIMIZE)
[code]....
But the trouble is that if multiple users are using the same terminal I cannot narrow down the process list to just the current user. So if two users run the same application simultaniously only the first user can open the application on the same terminal.
I want to get the detail of all users logged in to my system . I want name of users, status of users, id of users, client name of users, no of applications to a user.

I've made a small communication channel with other users of my application, it will connect using TCP which I tested and worked with two instances of my application on my home PC.I have to type in my IP address of what would be the "remote" computer i'm talking to, my issue is some of my users may not even know what their IP is to give it to me so how can I get my IP and save it as a setting to send to other users so it can be added as the PC they are talking to?
View 17 RepliesI have a simple application with a main form and an options dialogue. The options dialogue has various TextBox's and drop downs where the user can make changes and OK/Cancel buttons for when they're done.On the FormClosing event of the main form, I save these settings to an XML file. When the program is first run, the settings are loaded back into the options dialogue. The application reads settings directly from the controls in the options dialogue during run time.
View 3 RepliesI've tried to write a code which will count the orders for each person in my users table. This is what I have but it's not working. What is wrong?
vb.net
Dim command As New SqlClient.SqlCommand("SELECT *, COUNT(Orders.Username) FROM Users LEFT OUTER JOIN Orders ON Users.Username = Orders.IssuedBy ORDER BY Users.PersonName")
During the installation stage of VS programs, via setup and deployement, the end user is given an option to install to local settings or for all users. Where is this information saved?
View 8 RepliesI need to stretch the form according by the users screen. My application has to run maximized, but other users may have different resolutions sat and they won't see the whole program or will see it smaller than their screen.
This may affect the resolution, what code would do that?
maybe something like: get resolution (x:y) and set size width and height but I would still need to stretch all the other controls within the form as well.

I know how to write to the current user in the registry along with local machine, etc. Is there a way to update an existing key for all users under the current user?

But I want to do it from the admin account for all other users also.
View 3 RepliesI recently upgraded to Vista Business from XP Home. I found that my Visual Basic 2008 graphics applications is running much much slower in Vista than it was in XP. I took a small piece of my application and created a test program. I've set my computer up for dual boot so I now have XP Home and Vista Business on it. I've run my test program from both OSs and the results are tremendously different.
I have a custom built computer that has a Microstar Int. KT6 - V mother board. It has an AMD Athlon XP 3200 + 2.2 GHz with 2 GB RAM. It's a 32 bit processor. I do have the 32 bit version of Vista installed. I have only PCI slots and one AGP slot on my mainboard. I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce2 Graphics card that I bought back in 2005 with 32 MB RAM. My Vista Experience Index subscores are as follows:[code...]
I'm going to attach the program I created and someone can let me know if they were able to install it and run it from the attachment. If you run it let me know your results if you run it from Vista and let me know your computer set up. What's all the goods on your computer. What kind of graphics card do you have. Is it PCIexpress, PCI or AGP.

I need to populated a ComboBox and a CheckedListBox with a list of the Windows Accounts on the host computer. I also need to the user to be able to apply settings to the users individually. Thirdly, I need to find a way to add a startup registry key in the CURRENT_USER for a different user than the "Current User" (For example: User1 is an Administrator. User2 is a Limited Account [can't modify registry]. User1 needs to add Registry key to User2's "CURRENT_USER". This is a parental control application so the Admin accounts need to be able to access the registry from all users without affecting all users at once. I do not have any code to paste because I still have not the foggiest idea of where to start. I think it probably has something to do with an array (I have no experience with arrays whatsoever) but I am stumped from there. I'm a new, self-taught programmer so I speak idiot at times,
Summary of Questions
1) How do I retrieve a list of Windows Users?
2) How do I populate the objects above with such a list?
3) How do I interact with the items on that list (specific user accounts)?
4) How do I modify another user's CURRENT_USER Registry key?
