C# - Disable Multiple Network Connections, Only Allow One Simultaneously?
Feb 17, 2011
We are looking to design a security application that does the following on laptops:If the ethernet adapter is used (cable plugged in) disable/block all other network connections (wireless WIFI, mobile broadband (PPP), virtual VPN adapters etc)When ethernet adapter is not being used again, all connections allowed.We have looked in the WMI a lot but there are no good ways of doing this. Only disabling the network connection is not secure enough because most mobile broadband applications try to re-establish the connection. This should be an application that works on all laptop vendors without any user interaction (such as choosing interfaces etc..).

I shipped a VB .NET app to my customer. They installed the app in program files folder. The app starts and everything works ok. Now my customer reports that some intranet TCP/IP connections are interrupted after starting the app. Sometimes they are not available after starting my app, sometimes the intranet connections are still available after my app has been started. After my app has been started, there are connection error messages to their intranet services. After re-starting the machine, they still can't connect to the intranet services. A fix is to login with another user name or re-load the profile from the server after they have been logged in on another machine.
Do you have any ideas where to start further investigations? Is it possible that my .NET app interrupts or blocks intranet connections? Could you recommend any trace tool that gives me a hint when and why the intranet connections are blocked? Why could it work for them after they login on another machine?I am wondering if my .NET app could disable the intranet connections. Do you have any recommendation for testing that?

I used different backgroundworkers to instantiate some 'heavy' forms thinking that it will reduce the time to instantiate them if I did them at once but it looks like I am wrong since it is still taking about 43 seconds to load all of them. Am I missing something or do you have a tip on how I can speed up their instantiation?

Not wanting to hijack 45minutes thread, I thought I might spawn a thread of my own based on his question.
PlausiblyDamp was kind enough to provide some generic code, which I have modified and attached.
I have made a few alterations mostly around removing random objects, as the game in question (Space Invaders) has a set amount of aliens and set starting positions.
As a start I have limited the UpdatedPostion to horizontal movement as the aliens only go side to side unless they hit an edge.[code]...

I am creating a GUI that monitors the entered application and if the application crashes the GUI starts the application back up. Problem is to run this application (WoW Private Server) I need 3 running applications. Is there a way to shell and wait 3 applications all at once. OR if i was to create a separate console application who's only job was to start the three applications at once how would I pass the application variable?
Here is my program thus far: [URL]

I'd like to allow the user to select up to an entire column of cells and type and/or paste a single value that would then change the value of all the selected cells in the DataGridView to the value that was typed or pasted. I understand this is probably two separate answers, but perhaps if there is a way to set the contents of the clipboard with the value typed, I was thinking it may work well to identify both things I want to do.

I have been using the My.Computer.Audio.Play method for sounds in my program for a very long time, but now I have reached a point where the program needs to be able to play more than one sound at a time. What is the best (and preferably simplest) way to do this?

I want to play multiple sounds simultaneously from My.Resources in Visual Basic 2010. I have tried:My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.SoundName, AudioPlayMode.Background)
I have also tried using multiple Windows Media Player controls, but that also didn't work.The first sound is cut off when the next sound plays.When searching around the internet I found people suggesting using 'DirectSound', but there are only tutorials for DirectSound in VB 6.0.

I'm writing a program which gets the time and date from forums which only show "x hours ago" on the main thread list.What I do is get a list of threads, open their print version and fetch the info.I'm currently using a single webbrowser, because there's no control array anymore. This makes the proccess very slow.Is there a way to open all the threads' print versions simultaneously?(BTW, I'm using DOM functions like GetElementsByTag, so I'll need to get the page's "Document" object.)

I have three listboxes with vertical scroll bars. I'd like it so that when one is scrolled, so are the others. However, I can't seem to find a "scroll" event. I tried this:
vb.net
Public Scrolling As Boolean
Private Sub ListBox1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles ListBox1.MouseDown
If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
[code]....
It works when you click and drag on the listbox area where the items are, but not when you click on the scroll bar!

Consider I have a shared function:Public Shared Function CalculateAreaFromRadius(ByVal radius As Double) As Double
[Code]...
If I have two or more threads in the same vb .net app and each of them calls the shared function at the same time with different RADIUS, will they each get their own AREA? I want to know for each call to the function if it is using same local variables or each call creates new instances of local variables?Will the answers to above questions be same If I have multiple (2+) single threaded apps and they all call the function at the same time with different RADIUS value?

Using Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2008, I have created a Windows form with multiple tabs and questions. Each question has an associated drop-down listbox that the user will eventually click on to enter his or her response. My client has now informed me that she wants to change the standard responses in each response box. There are well over 100 drop-down listboxes, all with the same items, and they all must be changed.
I originally inputted the items using design view. Would someone please tell me if it's possible to edit all of these boxes in the design view simultaneously? When I control + click on more than one box, the Edit Items option that is normally available disappears. Is there a way to do it in code in a manner that would save back into design view?

I've created a two-worksheet template in Excel - the first sheet is for pretty charts, and the other sheet is for the data that drives those charts. I've written a vb.net 2005 app that can dump in all my data on the second worksheet, and the chart worksheet updates perfectly.I would like to do this report several times over in the same workbook. (So the tabs would read 'Person1 - Chart', 'Person1 - Data', 'Person2 - Chart', 'Person2 - Data', etc.)
My solution was to, for every person this report was going to be run for, copy the chart template, and then copy the data template. The problem is that every chart template that is created points to the original data worksheet. How can I set what worksheet each chart worksheet is pointing at?

I have two unrelated databases and I need to pass data back and forth between them. Right now I have created two separate entity models - one for each database - but this is causing issues in my code b/c I have to do a Using nameofcontext / End Using and when I try to then use some of the results from the first section of the code in a second Using nameofcontext / End Using it doesn't like it - b/c I've closed the connection to the first database!

This may have been answered but my search hasn't found what I was looking for. Basically, I am developing an application which allows the user to build a query at design time, i.e. for users with no prerequisite knowledge of SQL The application thus far allows the user to select which table(s) from the database they wish to start querying (I won't go into the details of the rest for now)
My confusion is this; I already have the connection to the database in a subroutine which obtains the schema information and filters it to display only the available tables within the database, which then compiles the data into a listbox, here is that sub:

I have written a program that uses directshowlib to capture a stream from a webcam and save as an AVI whenever a bird lands on the experiment platform for behavioral research. What I would like is to be able to allow another program or connection to the same webcam at the same time simply for preview purposes, is this possible?
Basically I want my app to still be able to record on demand when a bird interacts but I would also like a IP cam program like webcamXP/Webcam7 to be able to stream a live feed to the internet so we can have a live view of the platform. I had found some articles about connecting multiple streams from one webcam but am not sure how to go about it. If I have to I will simply mount a 2nd cam in the Bird colony and dedicate it to the web stream but if I can use the same cam as the recording cam that would be great.

How can i do about disabling a network adapter using VB.NET.

I want to write a small program to just enable/disable two network adapters. I searched over google and I found a few C# codes but didn't understand anything. I heard something called WMI. It seems they are other ways like enabling registry (which sounds wierd for me) or using command lines.
I really don't know which way should be used althought I didn't find any code to those either. something that works in win xp & vista & seven.
Because user want two switch between two NIC by enable one and disabling another one, I think I should first get a list of network adapters, then let user specify. I know It can be done easily by going to the network settings directly and do it by right clicking. But they want to do it through a program with single click.
Edit: I was able to get a list of adapters using WMI, Here is the page If someone wanted to take a look.

It works fine but when I execute this code on a normal User Account, i get the exception " Unable to read beyond the end of the stream" .
