i'm developing an application with vb.net and mysql. I want to add additional users to the application but with different access levels. this is my original code [code]If i add a third parameter named level to the sql statement, how do i determine which form shows???
View 3 RepliesI want to make different levels of access for a vb.net program i'm writing.I have a database called "stratocast". I want to show a specific form for entries in this table with "IsManager" checked and another specific form for those with "IsAdmin" checked.Im using MySql server and visual basic 2010 express
EDIT:To clear up any misconceptions about my post, ill explain further: In my vb.net application i have a login form with two textboxes; One for the username and one for password. I also have three other forms, one is called "frmAdmin", another called "frmManager" and another one called "frmEmployee".
On my database i have a table called "employee" with columns called "name", "title", "IsManager", "IsAdmin", "Username" and "Password".
IsManager and IsAdmin are both Boolean columns
This means that their values can only be 0 or 1 and the result is displayed as a checkbox.When the employee logs into this applcation i want it to check whether or not the employee is a manager, an administrator, or just a regular employee with no additional rights. If the employee is a manager, i want to show "frmManager". If the employee is an Administrator i want to show "frmAdmin". And if the employee has no additional rights then i want to show "frmEmployee".
I'd like to keep the configuration for access level checking confined to the one table but if it's better to have separate tables for each level of access (ie: tables called Admin,Manager, and Employee) then ill consider that too.
I am working on a multiple choice quiz, admin screen, student login screen where they choose their level of difficulty. I have been able to start the quiz, have the questions and answers filled, user answers question, check if correct or not, if correct then the score is incremented.I am able to set up a variable for 'level' and want to write some code so that whatever is selected then that table / questions will be selected and displayed to the user.
The way I'm thinking at the moment seems very long winded. I think I'll have to write an IF ELSE statement/case statement for each of the 'navigaterecords' and the sql statment for beginners, intermediate and advanced.Assume there is a variable 'LEVEL' - have not actually done this yet. Where the code refers to 'advanced' is where I have been trying it out to select questions from the advanced table.

1.I�d like to publish a free vb.net desktop application for the users to download and use meanwhile I�d like to collect usage information ex: user ip address, user�s registration information, used features, time spent� if the user allows the report to be sent back.
2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.

View 2 RepliesIs it feasible to deploy a VB.NET windows forms application with a SQL Server back end where no users have direct access to SQL Server? The idea is that there is no way someone at the client site with admin capabilities could mess up the data definition, or directly alter data. I always assumed that somebody with the client should get admin capabilities, but perhaps not.
The application will have to have the capability of creating logins, doing backups, perhaps running scripts (encrypted?) For upgrades, and whatever else a user with elevated privileges would do. I guess the application would have a hard-coded account with admin privileges for this purpose. Is this a common way to deploy an application? The application uses SQL Server Express, which is installed with the application. The database will be installed with the application.
Looking for some .net snippet on accessing what users are logged into a domain. I have looked through all the AD namespace and okay with that in getting static items. Specifically, NOT looking for current logged in user for a given machine(have that as well). Looking for a list of users that are currently signed into a Domain.Essentially, I want to pass a user (or list of users) to a method that will check to see if the user passed in, is currently logged into the network (AD).

I have *.mdb DataBase with 20 tables each table have more than 10 fields, i'm trying to automate the MDB file from a network like that 5 PCS + One vb.net exe program (5 users) working on the same time on the exe that is connected to the database , my questions are :
1) How much risk is it to put the database into one (shared) folder and connect it to the program ?
2) What is the best way to establish this method ?
3) Is there any alternatives ?
I'm trying to collect directories and add to TreeView. In Windows 7, there is a "Documents" folder under Libraries which is basically linked to "My Documents" under "Users". When I click "Documents" in the TreeView, I can get a list of all subdirectories by using

This program is going to submit GET data to our webpage. However, we don't want users accessing the webpage any other way than the program. We can prevent users from sharing the program using HWID authentication, but nothing prevents them from using a packet scanner to get the URL of the webpage. We thought about user-agent authentication, which we will implement, but user-agents can easily be spoofed.
how can we prevent users from accessing the webpage directly, instead of through the program?
Currently we will be implementing:
HWID Authentication to use the program User-Agent Authentication to access the web page Instant IP Blacklisting to anyone accessing the webpage without the proper User-Agent
In my application, I create data and log folders that must be shared by all users using this computer. I did a lot of research, and I found a function that is supposed to grant full access to every users of a folder and its children. However if right-click properties on my folder, the access is unchanged. ow should I grant full access to all users of a folder and its children (I don't care who created it, all users should be able to read and write to that folder)?
Public Sub GrantAllAccess(ByVal Folder As String)
Try
Dim DomainUser As String = Environment.UserDomainName & "" & Environment.UserName

I have a rather popular application, and I was wandering if I could allow users to create add-ons for this software. I was unable to think of a method of doing this, and I do not know where to start. If you have any questions in order to provide a better response, feel free to ask.
View 2 RepliesI recently finished an application which I spent a long time making, but when I sent it to my friends so they could beta test, everyone single one of them said it stopped responding on start up. I took the .exe out of the project>bin>debug>application.exe and thats what I gave them, and it doesn't crash for me, so i was wondering what might be causing it to crash, or if they would need extra files for it to work properly?
Also, when my friend opened it, he says he got an error that says:

I use a fontdialog box in my application allowing users to change the font details within my application. This works fine but unfortunatly I don't seem to be able to set the values in the dialogbox as they are read only.
Basically if the user has Bold Wingdings set and wishes to change it to something else then when they open up the fontdialog box I would like to be able to set the font to wingdings and bold so the user can see what they previously selected. Word seems to do this so why cant I?
I am developing an access database that will be shared with multiple users.I don't want the users to access the database directly so I will have them enter new data on a data access page. The data access page is stored on a Microsoft Share Point web page, and the database is stored on a network drive.Here is my problem: When new data is entered on the web page I need it to trigger a WillChangeRecordset event; however, I have not been successful because the web page does not declare a new instance of a recordset object.At a minimum I need the new data to be processed before the web page appends the new data to the table.
View 3 RepliesI am developing a Visual Basic .NET application to be used by the staff of a small training centre nearby. The front-end (UI, menus, etc.) will all be in VB .NET, and there will be a back-end database for storing all of the required data, such as student records and meeting information. What I would like to know is if it's possible to use a Microsoft Access database for this purpose, and have it accessible by all the staff in the centre (on the same network) at the same time. For example, would I be able to put the database in a shared network folder, and have a copy of the VB application on each PC that would all be able to read/edit/add to the database?

I'm using the Application Updates option in Visual Studio with 'Before the Application Starts' checked.Users are complaining of canceling the update and then finding out they really want the update. When they decide they want to update there is no way for them to update the application until I publish a new version, because once they cancel the dialog box it never shows up again.
Is there a way to create a menu option to force a check for updates?
Kind of off-topic... Are there any open source Application Update programs for .NET?

View 5 RepliesI want to build an application that checks every second for certain windows and then react according to that.
My Goal:I'm building the application for a pc in a Students Home with about 10 users. To create 10 different user accounts for windows will be annoying and crowded, because new people come in every year(or couple of months) and then old accounts have to be deleted and new ones created.
I want to build an application that accepts folderPaths or window names.Lets say user1 creates a folder with the name "Susan" that she wants to protect (her personal files/picture/work will be stored there. She opens the application, selects the folder. The application saves the folder path and her password that she enters.
If the application detects that a user is trying to open/move/delete/copy/whatever that folder, the app must pop up a password box. Correct password gives her the freedom she wants, wrong password just ignores the open/move/delete/copy/whatever command.
Is there a way that we can use that Add data source wizard that is in vs to our own apps?
