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 RepliesIs it possible to create a VB.Net application which users can just run without installing it first.If not, is it possible in another .Net language.The application only has to run under Windows (>= XP).
View 4 RepliesI have an asp.net web app that uses forms-based authentication, a SqlMembershipProvider (using an encrypted password format), and a SqlRoleProvider. I need to know if it's possible to administer the users (create new users, assign them to roles, etc.) from a windows application - the powers that be don't want any administrative functionality in the web app itself.Here is the membership provider definition from web.config:
<membership defaultProvider="MyProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyProvider"

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 1 RepliesI've designed my own encryption application in VB 2008 that has a free tools section where users can choose a particular wizard to use from the drop down. The javascript wizards display the code required to put in their own sites. I already created wizards that users can well, use.I see people have their own "contact form wizards" on their websites all the time. Where users can use the wizard and get the displayed code to copy and paste on their sites. But trying to locate source codes to these things is very aggravating on the web.So what I want to do is create my own "form wizard" like out of javascript, that allows the user to put in some information then get the displayed code to put in their own websites. I'm not looking for the generator such as the online form generators.But the javascript source code(s) for the generator itself.Then I could simply put a form generator inside of my VB-app, that will allow the user to use the wizard, then get the html code to paste in their own sites. Preferably not the PHP one because the php backend is very difficult to put in a VB app.I know that it can be done. For example copying a web pages source code then putting it inside a string, then calling that string from a button click that will open the javascript page in the webbrowser inside the VB app.
View 2 Repliesi am wondering if there are any case studies / white papers available comparing web applications to remote desktop applications on running on comparable hardware? What I am trying to get at is if a web application can support more users, as far as hardware resources go, than the same windows based application running on terminal services?
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a program in vb.net that automatically creates users from a database.It works fine, as long as there is no comma or there are no two spaces in the CN.
I am using the WinNT interface, so in fact it creates a SamAccountName and copies it automatically to the CN.When I create the entry manually in AD, I can add comma's and spaces without problems, so it should be a programming error.

I created a piece of code to create users in our active directory (2003) Everything is working OK and all attributes are set correctly. Only if i logon with a created user i do not get the mapping H: to the homedrive. When looking in ADUC the path to the homedir is correct. Also permissions on the homedir are correct and the user is owner of the dir.
If i correct the path in ADUC to another path and change it back again to point to the homedir the drive mapping is made correctly, so it look's like some kind of attribute is not set correctly. I used ldp.exe to view the created user's attributes before and after modifying the path but don't see any difference.
Tried to create the dir before and after user creation but that's not making any difference.

I'm wanting to create a control that allows users to upload PDF files and PDF files only. I know that there are object properties for windows forms that allow certain file types, is there anything for win apps? Or do you just have to check the end file extension after they tried to upload it and display an error? I've never done anything with web app uploading before.

I 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:
Name: Microsoft .NET Error
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?
Well ive created a web browser programme and created a user login form for the users to login and that works fine. Now i want to create a feature while the person is logged in, he can change users, so loging as another user whilst already logged in, for example, Admin user might be logged in and now he wants to change user to a normal user without turning the programme on and off to do so.

I am trying to create a small form that will duplicate a users entry for them.On my form i have a text box and two CheckListBox controls and a button. The user should be able enter a value into the text box, and select multiple items from both CheckedListBoxes, when they click the submit button the details will be added to a DataGridView below.
This is an example,The user enters the value Audi A4 into the textbox.
The First Checked Lsit Box is called "Colour" and from the options the user checks 'Red' and 'Blue'.
The second Checked List Box is called "Number of Doors" and from the options the user checks '3' and '5'.
When the User clicks the submit button 4 rows will be added to the DataGridView with all the different combinations, as shown below:
Model Colour No# of Doors
Audi A4 Red 3
Audi A4 Red 5
Audi A4 Blue 3
Audi A4 Blue 5
I am currently using this to populate the DataGridView:

My applicaiton makes use of the Event Log to log exceptions and Informational messages, however when logged in as a Standard User who has limited access, I am receiving the Exception[code]...
I understand that the Event Source cannot be found in the log I am writting to (Application) and the application is attempting to create the Event Source but before it can be registered all Logs need to be reviewed to make sure the Event Source isn't already in use.
My question is how should I go about creating an Event Source that can be used by Standard Users? The application will be operating on a corporate network whereby we lock down all users to the least required privellages.[code]...
I am trying to write a protection procedure, which will allow me to create a licence key for our users. This licence key will ensure that the software can only run on the registered system, and will allow the user to access only specific areas of my program which is relevant to them.
I am thinking of using an RSA style approach to this where I want to be the only person who can create the registration keys. But I want to allow the program to be be able to decrypt the key. This is to prevent the average user from being able alter the key and remove any restrictions which are being imposed on the program by the license key.
The process that this would take is to produce a host id which has went through a series of tasks to distort the actual value from the user will return this code us, and from this host id I can then work out the original value of the code. Using these public and private keys I can then encrypt license key information.
However I would like to know how I would implement the private key encryption and key generation program in .NET, so that I can get this setup working in a manner which will allow me to generate keys and allow the program to decrypt keys.
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 2 RepliesI am writing an App that automates file uploads from users desktops to a specified file server. On the first run of the app, I need the user to select a file server and save it for all other users of that PC. I thought I could do this
with application settings but it appears it is not suitable for this purpose. I need suggestions on how I can make this work.
I thought about a registry setting but the user may not have permission to edit the registry based on group policy/security settings.
I also thought about creating an XML file with the file server name that I can read from the installed project directory, but I was hoping there was a more streamlined way.
