Application That Authenticates To A Database?
Apr 1, 2011
so this is more of a question about application security.Say I have a application that authenticates to a database. The Users table has the following fields: UserID, UserName, Password,Salt, Active, Permissions.
The permissions field will be related to another table called "Permissions" that has a unique ID and it describs the level of access the user has to the system (reporting, add/remove users, etc).Now the question is, when the user autheticates and executes an action on the application that requires a certain level of permissions, is it better to have a class the holds an authenticated user or is it better to have the application query the database for the users permission level?

With VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file

I need to code a program that makes use of a database. It's gotta be for a local business, so I chose a pub lol. The database has the following columns: Beverage; Cost; Total number of sales; Income.
What the application needs to do is basically work as a cash register. Each beverage gets its own button, each click on the particular button displays the total due that the customer has to pay.
That, and the same button has to edit the database fields and update them or add to the values.

My application has an access2007 db as its database. I am trying to create a backup/restore utility in my application that allows the user to take the backup or restore the database file "StudentsData.accdb" which is in the application folder. I tried the filecopy method but it gives me an error saying that the "file is not accessible, as it is being used by a process." I believe it is my application process that is using the file.
How do I stop my application accessing the database? I have database connections which i have written in code and all of them close with their respective forms.

I am looking to make a small application which uses 3 stages of combo boxes to filter results into subcatagories. Once the filtering is selected - I want the user to be presented with some advice, maybe even a small picture.I want the application to gather its information run from a database which will be network based via a mapped network drive on our network. There may only be 4 colums in that database. I want to be able to update the database as required.

I am trying to create an application that needs to have a database. I would like to know which one you recommend using. I have programmed in php using mysql but I do not think that is feasible for a windows application. I want something that does not have to install something else with my application.

I integrated my database in my web application. Previously I was just referring it to SQL server 2008 by defining a connection. Everything worked fine data was being fetched, calculations are done. Now when i integrated my database in the web application, problems arose.
Dim cost3 As Double
cost3 = Dataset.Tables(0).Rows.Item(0)(0).ToString
The problem is with this the error says: Cannot Convert type String "" to double. Before no such problem showed.

I've created a project in VB .NET. when i build it and run the .exe everything works fine but when i install it the database becomes read only. I've used the VB 'setup and deployment' project to make and installer and i also tried InstallShield but the occurs in both cases. i looked on google but can't find anything that makes sense atleast. i think the application can not create _log.LDF file. Anyone come across this problem before?
error: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Failed to update database "C:........." because the database is read-only.

I am looking to make a database call based on user input. The line I am using is:general_read.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM general WHERE Business_Name = '" & business_name & "';"
business_name is dynamically loaded from:Protected Sub btnLoad_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnLoad.Click business_name = txtName.Text
[Code]...
The error that is being shown is: Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.I'm assuming it has something to do with the variable not being set before the database call is made, but I'm not entirely sure.

what would be the best way to manage a connection to a database in asp.net.My application is built using an N-Tier architecture.The DAL consists of static classes with methods such as
Public Shared Sub Delete( _
ByVal connection As MyConnectionClass, _
ByVal contact_id As Integer, _
ByVal contact_timestamp As Date _
[code]....
The point to note here, is that I pass the connection to the DAL from the BLL.Should I create the connections in the MasterPage, store it in an object, then pass it to my business objects as I create them (the thing I'm trying to avoid)Should I create a connection using a static class and calling a method like CreateConnection on it, from the constructor of my business objects (Something I'd like, but I don't want to have a connection per object, I'd like it to be shared for all instances of my objects, but since asp.net is multi-threaded, a static class doesn't make sense to store connections) the solution should also work well in a Windows Forms environment (So no connection storing in session, and retrieving it with a static method in a class, for the current context)?

I am working on a inventory application and I have a question, I have created a table for each of the main categories that I will be using, now if I wanted to add sub categories would I create another table for the sub directory and set the type as a child for its corresponding category or would it be easier to keep the main categories and just add another column in each table for "sub category" so it uses the same table but I can just filter it out easier?
If it is a better option for creating parent and child tables, how would I go about listing them in a hierarchical treeview to show parent and child sub-categories in them.
