I've been struggling for hours now to get some working code to list the share permissions of a remote share. I've got WMI code which uses win32_share which lists the shares and path and it works great. I"m now trying to add in a routine to get the share permissions as well.

I need to build an app that can create a network share and give it full read/write permissions to everyone.
I have this code to create/delete network shares: [Code] But it only changes the NTFS permissions, not the share permissions. I'm running Windows 7 RC (64-bit) using Visual Basic 2008 Express. Does anyone have any ideas on how to change the share permissions, not ntfs?
I'm creating an application that works with another I have no control over. My application needs to be able to create a user and change share permissions. Currently I am able to make a share, but I can't figure out how to set access permissions for that share.
The idea is that the newly created user (w/ password) will have permissions on the share I create.
Wondering if it is possible. It works on the idea that all files share common code. The program would ideally analyse the source file and compare it to the reference files. It would then find common parts of the code and write it to a rebuild file. At the end the rebuild file and the reference files would then be able to rebuild the source file without it being present.
For Example.
source file code = xxyyzyzyxw
ref file 1 = xyxxzyzxwyy
ref file 2 = zxxwyzzywxx
The program would then analyse these files and make a rebuild file like the following
source(0,1) = ref1(2,3)
source(2,3) = ref1(10,11)
source(4,7) = ref2(5,6) + ref2(5,6)
source(8,9) = ref2(2,3)
Thus you would be able to build the source file using these instructions and the reference files.

I currently have

View 4 RepliesI am developing an Application in VB.Net 2.0. I have a module which would copy files from the Local Machine to a shared folder on remote machine. This shared folder on the remote machine is an authenticated folder. So, after searching on the Internet I found the following piece of code.[code]Another point to note is that when I connect to the File Share using Windows Explorer and then try to execute the application, it works properly.I am not sure why I am getting the error when I do not connect to the Shared Folder using Windows Explorer.Do I have to set some property so that the Credentials passed in the authentication are used.I also checked some posts that suggested setting up Mapped Drive to the Shared Folder on the Local machine and then to copy the file using IO.File.Copy function. However, I cannot use this as this Remote Folder should be only accessed through the application and not in any other case by the User. The users will not even have the credentials to this remote Server as it will be configured by the admin.So, Is there any way in which I can set this up and transfer the files from local machine to a remote shared folder?
View 3 RepliesI have an object (MyObj) that itself will hold a List of other objects of various types and I want to count them as they are added to MyObj.That's the simple explanation, anyways...I have an Interface (MyInterface) that all sub-objects agree to. MyObj has a List(Of MyInterface) property that all the sub-objects are added to. MyInterface will expose a property that lets me figure out what subtype each object is (the sub-objects do not inherit from MyObj at all).
But I want to count these sub-objects as they are added to the list, and I'm trying to find a good way to do it. I don't need to worry about decrementing the count, as I am going to mimic the behavior of String and just create a new instance of MyObj if it ever changes, so all my counts will start from 0. This'll hit the garbage collector a bit, but I think this will allow for simpler (and safer) code. The only sane way I can think of to count objects is a very large structure in MyObj that uses bytes to hold the count (I will never have more than 255 of any given sub-object in the list in MyObj). But, even using bytes, this structure will be about 100-200 bytes big in memory (I have that many sub-objects), and I anticipate having a fair amount of MyObj copies running around, too.
I'll also need a large Select Case to know which count property to increment when a new sub-object is added. This seems to be a bit ugly, though I've used this approach several times already.What I am wondering is, instead of counting each object as it is added to the list, is there some way to query the list and count only the objects of a specific type? I wouldn't need to store this anywhere, since it would be dynamic, like querying a database and asking for a count of a specific column or type of record.I suspect Linq can do this, but Linq is also quite slow. Are there other approaches? Perhaps a predicate of some kind?VB (I am not a C# guy):
From i in MyObj.MyList Group i by i.GetType into g Let c as Int32 = g.Count() And that's it so far. I am still googling, but I am getting way too many C# and SQL references.

AppointmentsMissed (<the project's name) Under Security in the project's Properties Window these suggestions are made: Visual Studio was unable to determine the Code Access Security (CAS) permissions that are applicable to your project. The most likely cause is that your project references a strongly-named assembly that defines custom permissions, but that is not properly installed in the global assembly cache (GAC).
To correct this, try the following: 1. Ensure that any custom permissions defining assemblies referenced by your project have been properly installed to the GAC. If any of these assemblies have been rebuilt or have had their version numbers modified, you must install the new assemblies in the GAC. 2. Restart Visual Studio.
I have a working Windows Forms app (split into an EXE and a few DLLs). Now I've been asked to look at creating another app (MyAppLite) that has only a very small subset of the functionality. Think of it as similar to MS Word Viewer vs. MS Word.
Everything that I need to build MyAppLite is contained in the main solution - essentially I need to use a couple of the WinForms and whatever bits in the DLLs they call into.
What would be the best way to do this?
I was thinking of creating another Project in my solution for MyAppLite, then adding the necessary source files as links (using Add Existing Item > Add As Link in Solution Explorer).
I definitely wouldn't want to maintain 2 copies of the source code. FYI it's a .NET 2.0 VB app, using VS2008.

View 7 RepliesI've been looking at accessing shared folders, read and write, via the network without being prompted by the OS for the username and password.
On this forum, and googling, I can find many things about accessing network shares, but none using code which also passes the username and password required.
What I'm basically looking for is to not have to map a drive on the users computer. Then using code, write or read files from a network share and at the same time pass the username / password required for that network share.
A thing which i've discovered with vb2010 is that you can't share files like a form or something that way it comes at least. If you attach a form or usercontrol from a different folder it will automatically copy it into the current project folder and then save to that. How can i stop vb from doing this? It won't always be but in this case i need to share a few forms among multiple projects and it would be a royal pain to have to copy them each time manually.
