I would like to use my custom membership provider (which is working in my asp.netapplication) in my windows forms application.I thought this would be relatively straight forward, and followed these steps:1. Copied MembershipProvider class into my application.2. Add reference to System.Web3. Create app.config with membership settings i.e:

I have a website with login and register forms using custom HDI Membership provider where Users can login or register new account.
Now I have a desktop software and trying to have two forms for login and register where my users can able to login or register for user convenience and not by going to the website and make them register online.So, I have these to know in order to go further.
1) Can I use HDI membership provider as I have used it in my web application?As previously I have done and I faced many problems and still didn't get clarified here
2) If No, how do I make use in order to make use the same HDI Membership.Finally I need to use the same database for my desktop software as well as my web application with all the possibilities (i.e. I need to validate each parameter of my membership class).I am able to register the user but it is not using the Membership and I'm unable to know why it is not picking up the membership provider from the app.config file.
Over the past few weeks I've been attempting to convert the readily available C# code for the Membership Provider etc whilst working with MS Access. I'm fairly experienced with VB unlike C# and have ran AccessMembershipProvider.cs, AccessConnectionHelper.cs and so on through 3 different converters. All of which have given a varying degree of errors, all of which I've fixed, either by ever so slightly re-writing the logic or in the Cryptographic case finding a working translation.
This evening I have fixed all of the errors from all of the now converted VB files (which I was pretty pleased about as you can imagine), I then created a simple login page to test this out, added a new user to the system and tried to login to find out I'm being told the username or password is wrong.Just to clarify, the converters all had an error or two or even more in some cases which I've bypassed but now I can't login - at all!!Finally I've written reams of code over the years and am really stumped on this one, has knowone actually successfully converted these files from C# to VB and actually got it working?? I'm not looking for someone to send me there hard work but I am almost at the point of not wanting to bother with it anymore and I just can't believe that it's not out there to download.
net and the .net membership provider.i want to bring back a gridview with user account information, like GetAllUsers() does. However i want to only bring back users with certain profile information, that will be users whos profile information matches the selected value in a dropdownlist on the same page. I am using profile provider to record just one extra piece of user information.Can i change or override the GetAllUsers method for this? Adding an extra parameter so its GetAllUsers by Profile. Membership has a FindUsersByName method, i want to do something similar with users by Profile.

View 1 RepliesIn my VS solution, I have two projects.One for the Web Interface, other for DataAcess and BusinessLogic. I know I can check if the currently logged-on user is Employee in Web Interface project like this from the code behind:
Dim isEmployee = User.IsInRole("Employee")
The problem is that I have a Class call UserManagement in my the DA and BL project which I want to check the currently logged-on user role also. I can't use Dim isEmployee = User.IsInRole("Employee") because it doesn't have aspx page.
What do I need to do to check the user role in my custom class?

I'm creating a custom Role provider based on the ASP.NET Role provider. I have 3 tables. One for Users, one for Roles, one for UsersInRoles.The Users table has no password column because the users are authenticated with ActiveDirectory. That's my approach so far. I can't get the cusstom Role Provider to work, anyone has the same situation like me. How do you make a custom Role provider works with AD?
View 2 RepliesIn Visual Studio 2005 or 2008, when adding any User Controls to a Windows Form or other User Control in a Project that implements and is using a custom settings provider, a "Failed to create component" error is displayed. If all references to the custom settings provider are removed from settings.settings and that file is saved then User Controls can be added to Windows Forms and User Controls. However, if the custom settings provider is referenced again in settings.settings, then opening the designer of a Form/Control which includes a User Control results in a "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer..." error message.
I have had a very difficult time in tracking down the root cause of this issue because I assumed it had to do with my code and not the IDE. I am working within the context of a large project which uses User Controls heavily and have written a custom settings provider to persist user settings to a SQL Express database. This settings provider works properly, however if I want to open any Forms or User Controls in designer view I must first manually remove all references to my custom settings provider in setting.settings and then re-add them after the changes are done which is inconvenient to say the least. This problem is not present if the Project is in C#.
I'm interested in building my own basic Application controller and ditching the Application Framework entirely.Never done this before (or even considered it) but now I'd like to be able to cut out anything that stands in the way of making my App compatible with both DotNET and Mono, for which Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices is pretty famous.I start, or links to sample Main Modules for WinForms online? Seems like most of what I find is for Console apps.
View 8 RepliesI would like to open a new form from some other form, and pass some selected object from a control on that form to the new form. The sensible way to do this, I thought, was as a parameter to the forms constructor. Now I know that the visual studio GUI creates partial classes for my forms, that hold the properties that I can drag onto there in the designer. I assume it also holds a default constructor. Since it might do all sorts of stuff that is needed to initialise the form, I figured I should call it from my custom constructor ala
public sub new(byval my_parameter as Foo)
Me.new()
Me.my_parameter = my_parameter
[code].....
That clearly wasn't it, because it can't find a default constructor. The thing is, visual studio goes trough great lengths to prevent me from seeing the generated constructor, so I know how to access it. This leads me to believe that I am actually doing it wrong, and should have set out on some different path, as the path you are forced in to usually is the sensible thing to do, which I usualy find out way too late.
I was just wondering if there was a possible way to add a custom button into the title bar using VB.NET. I've seen many such questions on Stack Overflow but failed to get a sure-shot and a working answer.
View 3 RepliesI have a winforms (VB 2008) based app that I'm developing and I want to use custom roles for user access.Application Layout:I have a Main form that opens a login form when certain actions occur.The Login form intern uses an authentication class that I've created, to authenticate users and set access rights.On my Applications settings page, I have Authentication Mode set to Application-defined because I cannot use Windows Authentication in the environment where this will be deployed.
The application uses a MS SQL 2005 db and the 3 tables I'm using in the authentication process are the User_Account , User_Roles and User_Access tables. The combination of an account in the User_Account and the roles within the User_Roles table are the bases for the User_Access table. Using the User_Access table is how I assign access to the various functions within the application
Authentication Method:To authenticate a user, I'm using the "My.User.CurrentPrincipal" (Code below) method. The My.User object works great and allows the use of "My.User.Name" property throughout the app when referring to the currently authenticated user.
Access Method:In order to set the current users access levels I'm using a function within my Authentication class and passing in My.User.Name as a variable. The function uses a Dataset Table Adaptor and a Select Case statement inside a For loop to assign all the access levels for the user (Function code below).
My Problem:This method of assigning access rights to a user does work but it's not persistent throughout the application as the My.User object is.I would like to find a way to create custom roles through the My.User object using its .IsInRole property. I would like to have these roles dynamically created using my User_Roles table.This would allow the custom roles to be used throughout my application using the My.User.IsInRole ("MyRole")syntax ...similar to how I'm currently able to use My.User.Name.Unfortunately the only roles I can currently validate against are the built in Windows
type accounts (Adminisrator ...ect.).
'User Authentication example:
If Authenticate.CheckPassword(tbxUserName.Text, strPassword) Then
My.User.CurrentPrincipal = New GenericPrincipal(New GenericIdentity(tbxUserName.Text), Nothing)[code].....
Our shop primarily use "ADO objects" (I'm referring to DataSet, DataTable, and DataRow) for marshaling around data and manipulating it on forms and in grids. We are experimenting with creating shop-flavored counterparts to the native ADO objects so that we can impose our in-house standards on top of them. Implementing this is straightforward with one exception: I want our objects to be bindable to controls.
I'm aware of IList, IBindingList, BindingSource, etc. and have looked at and experimented with these, but I am falling short when it comes to making a class with no hard property names bindable. The native ADO objects are not strongly typed by default. You have column values that you access via the Item property (e.g. row("Age") or row.Item("Age")). The binding examples I've found online deal with strong-typed objects (e.g. row.Age). Essentially, we want to create custom ADO objects (not inherited from the native ones) that still retain their ability to bind to controls. In a grid I would expect to see columns Name, Age and Occupation from a row where these properties are exposed via row("Name"), row("Age") and row("Occupation"). This must be doable as this is exactly what the native DataTable and DataRow provide.
How can I develop a custom data source control for WinForms ? This example is just for ASP.NET. VS version: VS 2008
View 7 RepliesAm in the process of architecting a new windows forms application, and I intend to use Visual Basic 2008 and SQL Server Express 2005. This is my first application in .Net and I really want to observe the best OOD & OOP principles to create an application that is easy to maintain and extend (add new functionality). My issue is in regard to databinding on the UI. From experience, what do you guys recommend to use for databinding? Should I return datasets/datatables from my Business Layer and bind these to UI controls or should I return Business Objects and bind these to UI controls? And what are the pros and cons of each approach?
View 1 RepliesI have a custom collection, lets says COL, that derives from ObjectModel.Collection. I have my own collection editor that works fine when a property, of type COL, is Read and Write enabled. However, if I change the property to ReadOnly, the open editor button stops showing in the property grid. As a test, I override my custom editor with the CollectionEditor, and that worked fine. So, my question is, what check is the property grid making, that CollectionEditor passes but my collection editor fails?

View 9 RepliesI have a program written in VB 2008 express. It connects to an Access database via Jet4.0 OLEDB. It works fine on my computer running windows xp. It works fine on computers running Vista and Windows 7 that also have Access installed. Howerver when run on a computer with Windows 7 that does not have Access installed. The following Error Message appears whenever there is an attempt to access the database:
The 'MS JET.OLEDB 4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
Reviewing MS info, it appears that mdjet40.dll is found in XP and earlier and that syswow64.dll is found in Vista and later. Before I travel down the road of reckless experiementation, I thought I would ask for some advice.
What do I need to do to make my program run on all versions of Windows with or without Access installed?
