C# - Save A Setting For All Users Under Vista?
Oct 10, 2009
I need to save a setting which is then available to all users of the application on the given machine. It needs to work on Vista/Win 7, and the application won't be started as administrator.
Can't Save to program directory as the Program Files folder is protected on Vista Can't save to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE as that's protected too Can't save to server or web-service Where can I save data to? Even if the application rights were somehow elevated during execution, the registry is now virtualised in Vista - and so I will end up with a special HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE which is actually only for the current user.

I've made a small communication channel with other users of my application, it will connect using TCP which I tested and worked with two instances of my application on my home PC.I have to type in my IP address of what would be the "remote" computer i'm talking to, my issue is some of my users may not even know what their IP is to give it to me so how can I get my IP and save it as a setting to send to other users so it can be added as the PC they are talking to?

I recently upgraded to Vista Business from XP Home. I found that my Visual Basic 2008 graphics applications is running much much slower in Vista than it was in XP. I took a small piece of my application and created a test program. I've set my computer up for dual boot so I now have XP Home and Vista Business on it. I've run my test program from both OSs and the results are tremendously different.
I have a custom built computer that has a Microstar Int. KT6 - V mother board. It has an AMD Athlon XP 3200 + 2.2 GHz with 2 GB RAM. It's a 32 bit processor. I do have the 32 bit version of Vista installed. I have only PCI slots and one AGP slot on my mainboard. I'm using a NVIDIA GeForce2 Graphics card that I bought back in 2005 with 32 MB RAM. My Vista Experience Index subscores are as follows:[code...]
I'm going to attach the program I created and someone can let me know if they were able to install it and run it from the attachment. If you run it let me know your results if you run it from Vista and let me know your computer set up. What's all the goods on your computer. What kind of graphics card do you have. Is it PCIexpress, PCI or AGP.

For example, a user logs in and sets his status in SQL Server to active. While using the program, it suddenly blacks out. The status in SQL Server remains active. When the user logs in again, he can't access the same account in the program because in SQL Server the status remains active. How can I set the status to inactive during blackouts?

Every time I make a application and distribute it, Vista users always have to set it as "Run as Administrator" for it to work... Is there any way to make it to where they don't need to do this?

I've created a simple dll with VB.NET for a web application, which opens a SaveDialog and write some ASCII-signs to a txt-file. It is working fine in XP. But when I test this dll in Vista I can not save this file:When I try to save in the directory "My own files" I can see this file in the file dialog, but I can not see this file in the explorer. In other directories I get a permission error.I've red, thatI can give e.g. admin-permission to allow writing a file, but I can give this permission only to an exe-file.
I tried some tests with the filestream like below
Dim fs As FileStream = New FileStream(strCSVDateiName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.ReadWrite)

We have developed an application using Visual Basic .NET as the front end and Microsoft Access as the back end. If we run the application on Windows XP we can write records to the database but when we run it on Vista it does not write records to the database.

I'm writing a windows application and I've hit a bit of a roadblock. It wouldn't be a difficult program, except that I'd like to support more than one user and with each user I need to have many, many different settings change instead of, say, two or three. I'm wondering if there's a standard ideal way of storing large amounts of settings for different users?
I'll try to describe what I'm trying to do here..At the moment I have an Access database (for easy deployment) with about 60-something tables. 66 tables are named after books, and each have a different number of chapters. Each of those tables contains one row for every chapter plus a CheckState field that contains a 0 or a 1. I also have a simple Users table with a UserName and UserID field, and another AllBooks table with data for every book, like the name and the number of chapters.
When I user is selected, I have a listbox that displays every book (taken from the AllBooks table) and then a checkedlistbox that displays the chapters of the selected book and automatically checks off different boxes depending on the CheckState field.
So but I'm a bit stumped on how to implement different users... instead of tons and tons of different tables should I have a different table for each user that have 60-something columns...? I dont know enough about relational databases to make the right call.

how do I do this properly:
vb
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[code]....
I would like to store some app data in a 'default system folder', so when I launch the program it will know where to look for it's own settings.As a matter of fact I only need to store there a path to the files used by the program. Users will be able to choose where to put them (simplified installation). The program has to know where to look for them.
Am I creating the folder properly? As you can see I'm referring to C:... The folder structure presented here comes from my laptop running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the C:... can be somehow defined by some sort of a system 'shortcut'. Following the above example the program would look for those in C:... , but maybe I can use something like ~~ default.app.settings.My Program Name ~~~. How does it work? Have no idea how to call it properly, but I'm sure you will know what I mean.

Code:
Imports System.Configuration
Public Class setLV
Inherits ApplicationSettingsBase
Private fpListViewItems As List(Of ListViewItem)
ReadOnly Property ListViewItems() As List(Of ListViewItem)

It works great for saving one Listview and its items but I need to save multiple Listviews and their items. I have no idea how to accomplish this.

I have added a textbox and a combobox into the form. There are 2 buttons as Add and Remove. Everything works fine here but the problem is after addig/removing (using add/remove button) new items into the combobox, when I close it, the new items added/removed are gone. I need to save the new items added to the combobox during close. I can understand I have to create a Application Setting which will save the new items added to combobox upon closing. But I don't know which code I need to use? Below are the currently used code of this project.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
' This is to add new items to combobox
ComboBox1.Items.Add(TextBox1.Text)
'MsgBox("" & TextBox1.Text & " Successfully Added to Combobox")

I am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.

I 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"
