When I run service on localhost it realy return current windows user name!The problem is when i run service from remote PC, in that case I got nothing from this function. What is problem with this service, and how I can get name of Windows user?
I know, it's a bit weird asking for a query to tell me my own email address right, I'll explain further...
I'm writing a COM add-in for Outlook 2007. One of the subs generates and sends an email to a particular address and this all works fine.However I have a need to have an option for the sender to be able to include themselves on the recipients list.As more than one person will be running this I cannot just set the sender's email address manually and would prefer to just add a check box on the form to enable this feature.
The only bit I'm stuck on is working out how to find the email address of the person sending the email. I could do it with an AD query against the logged on user but this needs to work for non-domain users also so need another method.
I have tried multiple ways of grabbing the username of a current logged on user in vb.net/asp.net. I am running it on IIS 6 and understand that it will return NETWORK SERVICE for the username. I need to grab the username of the actual windows box log on.I have tried the following code: Returns NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE
Dim User = System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.User Dim UserName = User.Translate(GetType(System.Security.Principal.NTAccount)).Value
I've set up an application that runs as a service, auth'd as LocalSystem. One of it's functions is to establish the logged in windows user's username.All I'm getting with the following is either the SID or username of the user (localsystem) running the service.
I developed a windows service project using vb.net and windows service is installed with logon account as admin's user name and password. Target of windows service is to read the pst file path location from windows registry for currently logged user by accessing the following registry key
The problem is , windows service can able to read the admin pst file path location if admin is logged in windows. When other user logged in windows, service is not able to read currently logged user's pst file path location from registry because of windows service is configured with admin user name and password. so it always reads admin's pst file location.
But I am trying to get to the Personl folder of the current user in windows 7. Now there are two special folders: MyDocuments and Personal However they both lead to C:Users{USERNAME}Documents Shouldn't Personal lead to one back from that?
I have to return a lot of values back to my windows application from my webService. But how would I return more than just a single string/int/boolean from my WebService to myApplication. How would I return a collection, keyValuePair, or even better, a DataSet? Or is this just imposible?
How would I return a base64Binary type back from a VB.net web service request? I would like to return the base64Binary of a PDF document from the binary datatype from SQL Server 2008. Is base64Binary the same as Byte? Do I have to convert the Byte to Base64 then to String?
We are developing a webservice for a client. We are not supose to throw SoapExceptions, so instead, we catch every exception server side, and return a custom Exception class.
Public Class Order ... End Class
[Code]....
The problem now is, that since my webmethod is returning the type [Object]. The wdsl that is generated does not contain the order, or the exception.
I can change the [Object] to [Order] Or [MyException], but only one of them is generated in the wsdl.
I want both the MyException type and the Order type in my wsdl, but i just cant get it working.

I've run into a bit of a roadblock trying to figure out how to programmatically not allow the same data in multiple comboboxes. I'm usnig VS2008 and I have 3 comboboxes on a form, all with the same data, say "apple", "orange", and "red". The comboboxes are nothing more than a user definable sorting method on which gets calculated first. When I use the .SelectedItemChanged event on any of these, I'll obviously be duplicating. Any idea on how I can program to automatically switch the combobox that is duplicated to the value that is missing? I don't want to hard code it as further down the road I will have up to 7 comboboxes. Below is what I started with coding. Not sure if it is the best way to go about it, but it works on 4 of the 6 combinations.
