VS 2008 Populate Object With List Of Windows Users Without Changing Datatypes?
Jul 25, 2011
PROJECT TYPE: Windows Forms Application
LANGUAGE: Visual Basic
.NET VERSION: 3.5
IDE: Visual Studio 2008
OPTION STRICT: on
OPTION EXPLICIT: ON
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?

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:
<membership defaultProvider="MyProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyProvider"

we 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.

I need to call a function that expects a DataType as a paremeter. I fail to get the right syntax to specify a datatype (integer, string, single, boolean, etc):
Public Sub AddSetting(ByVal PropertyName As String, ByVal PropertyType As Type, ByVal DefaultValue As String)
Dim p As New SettingsProperty(PropertyName)
p.PropertyType = PropertyType
p.DefaultValue = DefaultValue

I was just starting to learn how to use classes today and I think I might have a vague handle on them.Anyways, I was using a class to generate troops (as objects, since I needed various statistics tied to each individual one) in an army for sort of a basic medieval-type game I was creating and adding them to a combo box.It all works perfect and the index holds my object and I can call data from it, etc., my only issue is with the aesthetics of my result.All of the troops I add to the combo box as objects appear in the dropdown list as "WarProject.Soldier", the name of the object. This is obviously not something an end-user would understand or want to see. I have no idea how to change what an object appears as in the combo box.

Say I have a generic list that is a list of a structure.
[Code]....
I always get an error that it's a value and cannot be set. Is there a way to change it without having to make a local copy of the item, then set the item on the list to that local item?

I am using VB.NET 2010. I have a Windows 2008 Web Server, where about 80 user accounts are activated. It is NO Active Directory Environment!!! This is a server, where Windows SharePoint Services are hosted. So, once a year, I have to give all users a new password. (I have to give it, because of some security thinkings of the owner of this Page). So, changing the password for each person is a very long activity. How can I do this by a VB.NET Program? - When I am logged on as an Administrator to this server?

After reading all the examples for list of T exists and Find and find first, none show how to handle multi-property objects. Below is bare bones example maybe someone could flesh out to show how this should be done.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim DatePriceList As New List(Of DateAndPrice)
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/1/2000"), 10.12))
DatePriceList.Add(New DateAndPrice(Date.Parse("1/2/2000"), 11.12))

Limited to using v2.0 of .Net framework (we use VB.net) due to environmental constraints on our servers.I've got an ASP.net webpage which pulls data from a webservice that performs checks on user accounts in active directory. Operators can check multiple accounts at one time using the web interface. The webservice returns a list(of AccountCheck) objects which themselves contain single properties like username, email address, and List(of AccountError) objects which contain multiple properties.[code]What I want to do is using some kind of repeater, create multiple panels or divs which contain labels showing the username, email etc, and a gridview which has the accounterror list bound to it to show all the errors. The users could be checking 2, 5, 7 accounts at once, and is dynamic.

I'm developing a program which would be the only program user will use. What i mean by this is once the windows is up, my program will run and blocks users from accessing any other program installed or comes with Windows such as internet explorer, email client, games, etc.. unless user puts password for getting out of my program.
BTW, the OS will be Windows XP.What i want to accomplish by having this is like below:
1. No one would be able to use internet (= no virus)
2. No one would be able to change system time (= no record corruption)
3. No one would be able to install any program (= less system maintenance)
My program is Kind of interactive Kiosk program only certain user can access windows and other programs.Also when it comes to system maintenance, I will remotely access the computer using pcAnywhere or teamviewer like remote access tool.So after exiting the program, i should be able to use entire system w/o any restriction.

Suppose I have a list of Cat.
Public Class Cat
Public Property id As Guid
Public Property name As String
Public Property race As catRace
End Class
How can I quickly transform this List(Of Cat) into a List(Of Guid) using the id property?
I could do :
Dim newList As List(Of Guid)
For each item in catList
newList.Add(item.id)
Next
But I think there must be a way to do this faster (1 LOC). I just can't find how.
