WinForms - Creating Virtual Directory Programmatically As Unprivileged User
Feb 2, 2010
I'm trying to write an application that will allow a non-administrator user to create virtual directories in IIS6. I've tried numerous different ways of impersonating a administrative account but nothing seems to work to create the virtual directory.
Here's some of what I've tried:
dim sDirPath as string = "IIS://remotehost/W3svc/1/root"
Dim de As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry()
de.Path = sDirPath
de.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure
de.Username = tbxUsername.Text
[Code] .....
what is the correct way to impersonate another user in winforms application that will allow me to create the virtual directory without the user that's running the application being an administrator on the web server? I know this can be done, IIS manager allows you to use "connect as" checkbox to do it.

I am creating a VB .NET app that uses the user's Application Data to store data. Can an unprivileged user create a folder in the top level of their Application Data directory? I am trying to create the app's folder if it doesn't already exist for that user.

This is my first attempt at creating a Winforms application, and I have been developing in the .Net Framework (Silverlight, ASP.Net, WPF) for about 6 months. So, my appologies if this is a newbie question.
Basically what I am doing right now is taking the drawings of a stylus-based input, and storing them into an image field in a SQL Server database. Then, in another form, I go and get that image out of the database, and load it into a picture box. It works, but it is rather "sloppy" how it got there.When the user clicks save, it stores that image into a temporary folder, then converts it to a byte array and throws it into the database that way. Then, it deletes the file from the temporary folder. When retrieving it, it pulls it out of the database in a byte array, then converts it to an image in a temporary folder, thus displaying it on the form.
Is there a way that I can just bypass the storing of the file onto the user's harddrive both times, and go from byte array to picturebox?

A little while ago, I managed to get WebServices to return JSON as well as XML from the code-behind of an ASPX.
Today, I needed to migrate an existing ASMX WebService to return JSON instead of XML (which was accomplished with little fuss). My problem became evident in testing the new method.
In the code-behind for the ASMX, I created a new method to return JSON instead of XML. The method works, in that it returns the expected JSON however the new routine breaks every XML-returning method in the code-behind (they all throw "System.NotSupportedException: The type System.Collections.Hashtable is not supported because it implements IDictionary." which is unexpected because the return types are all defined as XmlDocument).
If I simply comment out the JSON-returning method, the XML-returning methods function normally. Uncommenting out the JSON-returning method breaks the XML-returning methods again.
While I cannot find any supporting documentation anywhere, this behavior leads me to believe that in ASP.Net 2.0, JSON-returning methods cannot co-exist in the same module as XML-returning methods.
This led me to try separating the methods in sub-classes like so:
<WebService(Namespace:="http://tempura.org/")> _
<WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo:=WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)> _
<ScriptService()> _

the problem i met is that i have iis 7 running on my pc.in the root file, wwwroot, i have a website folder, namely [apex] which is a virtual directory. in the folder is a bin folder containing a compiled class with namespace.then in an aspx file, i tried to import the namespace and use the class inside the namespace.
[code]...
the namespace and classname has been checked well, no mistake. but at compiling stage, i got "type is not defined " message. ok,then, in iis 7 control panel, i convert the whole website folder from "virtual directory" to "application" type. the problem goes away!

I've been trying to find a Windows API function I can use to generate a virtual file handle in Windows. I'm working with VPC/xVM and I want to create a virtual machine that actually points to my physical hard drive - the methods provided with VPC and xVM for this really suck (I've never been able to get it to work with either virtualization product).

I have seen similar questions which attempt to solve this issue, but none seem to work for me so far.Basically, for my first VB project, I am creating a virtual keyboard where a sound is played from the resources on KeyDown. So far, the program seems to work except for the fact that each key needs to be clicked by the mouse before the sound is played by pressing each key (hence put the object in focus), where I need the key to play the sound without clicking the keyboard key (put the object in focus on KeyDown).Below is an example of my code:

I need to figure out a way to programatically determine whether code is being called from a console application or a WinForms application (or even WPF). The scenario is, a .net DLL library needs to know what kind of application is calling it. Is this possible?

I'm having a bit of a problem with the web application I'm currently working on. In it there are a few Web User Controls that we use to display information on a bunch of different pages. They seem to compile alright and arent showing up any errors. The problem is trying to register them on other pages to access them is returning a 'file not found' error in visual studio (2005). I have them defined like this:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="cc2" TagName="ControlSelector" Src="~/components/controls/ControlSelector.ascx" %>
The strange thing is that when I remove the '~' from the front no error is shown but the path beomes ~//components/controls/ControlSelector.ascx when looking at the designer and obviously it cant find the control anyway.

I'm making a program running on background that monitors users button click on a specific program, I need to know where this person is clicking. Is there a way to make a virtual map (not visible to the user) of the window this person is looking at and clicking? I need know where this person is clicking so I can take a specific action and show a result to another monitor output.

I've a requirement to have PreCompiled webpages and Non-PreCompiled webpages under same application. For example below is my structure:
/Bin
/Test1 (PreCompiled)
/Test2 (NonPreCompiled)
/Test3 (PreCompiled)
I would like these to have their separate "Bin" folders too if possible at all (I tried using "Probing" but I guess that's not allowed for web apps and defaults to "Bin" folder). If not that then definitely some ability for these to work together under one app/virtual directory because I'm not allowed to create another at any cost :(

Because My hard drive in my Lap Top is so small I have moved a bunch of files onto an external hard drive.
The Files I have included in the move are my Music files.
I then set my music directory to these files.
No problem except one time I disconnected to go some where with out my external drive.
At which time my computer set the music directory to Nothing ("") now when I click on the "Music" button nothing happens
when I right click on the button and select property's it is completely blank with out a way to reset my music.
So I decided to wright a short program to reset it.
I guess nobody else has had this problem because I could not find anything on that
To recreate the program
1.Create a windows Form Application
2.Add a Label and Label it "Label1"
3.Add two buttons "Button1" and "Button2"
4.Button1.Text = "Select Directory"
5.Button2.Text = "Set Directory"
6.Add a Folder Browser Dialog and name it "FolderBrowserDialog1"
7.Add this code
Dim Directory As String
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

It seems that when I'm online the following code I see is used interchangeably:

i'm currently working on building a program that will take a MS Access database system produced by my company and create a VB.Net project with all the forms in it (obviously the code should be manually done, but to save time the forms and controls can be produced automatically).I have tried Googling and seem not to be able to find anything about this (which probably means I wasn't searching with the right keywords), I was wondering whether anyone knows any good resources on how to create the VB.Net project programmatically as I already know how to do all the access stuff.

I have a project working on at work, it involves creating an invoice for each client and attaching that invoice to an email and sending it out. I chose to use XML for the data manipulations. I could have easily gone with a access file or a sqlCe db, but that would cause my data to be in a proprietary format; this is what i am running from. Furthermore, I have no experience with XML data and i thought here would be a good place to start.
I am reading the data for the invoices from a text file that will always be in a specific format each time it is produce. Information from this text file is stored in a generic list of a Class name Invoice.
The area where i am having the problem is where after collecting the data i now need to save it in an XML format. here is what i have so for
'Filename: cInvoice
'Written by: Curtis Jackson
'Written on: May 20, 2009

you see where i have function "writeNewInvoiceData" this is where i am stucked. I just don't know how to create this XML file.

I have an unbound DataGridView control where I have defined the columns at design time.Currently to add a new row I use a like this:
gridname.row.add(value1, value2, value3, value4)
This offends my sense of good programming because if I add a column to the grid or change the order of the columns then I need to alter the line above. What I want to do is to create a new datagridviewrow complete with columns and then populate the values like so:
dr.cells("FirstName").value = value1
dr.cells("LastName").value = value2
dr.cells("Address").value = value3
Just like I do when editing an existing row in the grid.I thought I could do the following:
Dim dr as New DataGridViewRow
dr = MyGrid.RowTemplate
I thought this would give me a new row complete with cells but no values. Appartently this is the wrong property. Is there a property that will give me a blank row, but with the cell names/types that have already been defined in the grid defined in the row?Yes, I know I can take an existing row and just clear the values but when this program load, there are not always existing rows.don't tell me I am going to have to add the columns myself. dr.cell.add(cell definition)

I'm trying to create my own numeric textbox that will handle decimal as well as whole number values. The concept is, unlike the regular textbox, this one will accept a value of 'Double' data type and show it with proper formatting e.g. Leading Digits, Digit Grouping etc. When the textbox value is called, it returns the actual 'Double' data type value. The entire thing is done through the 'Text' property; wherein the regular 'Text' property is shadowed and one with 'Double' data type is used.

I have two questions, first, how do you programmatically create each picturebox with a different name than the last one. I've attempted to address this in my code but not sure if it's right. Second, I'm getting an error when running the code: "controls created on one thread cannot be parented to a control on another thread" - how do i get around this?
