My app needs a config file that can be written to by the user. I've got the Setup project to install it to [CommonAppDataFolder][Manufacturer]][Product] but that folder is then read only to normal users (which defeats the point really!).
I've read various articles on the internet on how to solve this, ranging from making the app a Full Trust ClickOnce app to running a separate app post install to change the permissions.
I'm trying to set ACL's on a folder using Directory.SetAccessControl. More specifically, I want to grant "Users" full control on a folder. AddFileSecurity works perfectly. AddFolderSecurity does not. It's result is that "Users" will get added to the folder's ACL but "Full Control" is not checked off (nor are any other permissions). Here is the code I am using which is basically taken right from MSDN documentation [URL]
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Security.AccessControl
Module Module1

I have the following code:
My
.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(Environment.GetFolderPath(CommonApplicationData) & "ASKOEdgeMasterDatabase")

I want to grant read access to a file in a server folder for the group servernameusers. This code works fine to set it for a specific user account, [URL], but I want everyone (all users) to get the right to read the file.

View 3 RepliesIn my vb.net winforms application using Visual Studio 2010, I'm trying to work something out and my brain just isn't working today. I'm rewriting this application to make it more efficient and trying to minimize the sql calls.
Currently it works like this.User logs in to the app, it loads the main form, where the user can open up different forms to access different client data. Each time a record is loaded in one of these new forms it also loads that specific users permissions from a Sql Server 2005 table.
What I want to do is when my main form loads after the user logs in, is load a public dataset or datatable, or any other suggestion, storing that users permissions so I can access them locally without hitting the sql server every time the user opens a client record.
I am not going to explain my whole project or why I want it do this...Ok... so for example my myfile.txt file would contain the word "hello"ashuming this would work (which it didnt):dim myfile as String = application.startuppath("/myfile.txt")on form1 load: textbox1.text = myfileunfortunately instead of it sending the value of the file it sends to file location.

View 2 RepliesI have a problem setting the checked state of checkboxes in a listview programmatically.
Background: I have a Windows Form Application which uses CheckedListBox�s. The names/labels for each CheckBox in the list are imported for a database. Also in the database is a field which defines whether the CheckBox should be Checked or Unchecked. The program works fine.
Problem: My requirement is to add a tooltip to each item in the list of checkboxes. I have read that the best/easiest way to do this is to use a ListView instead of the CheckedListBox. I have setup a ListView with CheckBoxes = True and View = Details. I have populated the ListView with the items from my database. The ListView now looks exactly like the CheckedListBox and the tooltips work fine.
My problem is that I can�t seem to find a way of setting the CheckBox�s to Checked programmatically. Is there a way to do this, or is there a better way of achieving what I am trying to do?

I'm trying to set hotkeys for all my favorite websites. When one of these hotkeys are pressed, I want it to load the assigned website in internet explorer, but I want internet explorer to load on my SECONDARY monitor. I've already set out the hotkeys to load internet explorer, but it loads on the wrong screen. How to check if an instance of IE is already running. To be a bit more specific: the secondary monitor is set to the LEFT of the primary one. And the resolution is at 1440 x 900. So basically, I want to programmatically set IE's position to (-1440, 0) from within my application itself.

To make this short and simple, I'm developing a program that goes full screen but cannot allow the user to close or Alt-Tab out of it. The program is responsible for giving out tests that teachers create for various students and, to deter cheating, I was going to have the program block attempts to close it (I have that figured out already) and stop Alt-Tabbing out of it.
