C# - Location Authorization Nodes In A Web.config Be External?
Sep 20, 2010
Is it possible to have location authorization nodes in a web.config be external?
Such that I could take all of the nodes simlar to
[Code]...
And move them outside of the web.config or something simlar? I find these nodes at an extreme amount of noise to a web.config when they're relatively static. Normally my approach would be to config source something like this but since it falls under the root node I'm not sure of it's possible with these nodes.
i am building a web application with VS2010 and framework 4
in the web.config i have defined the external file path <appSettings file="\serverc$InetpubwwwrootConnectionsGlobal_Settings.config"> <add key="var_1" value="xpto" />
I have been searching and posting regarding this problem and have found nothing to aid me. Discussion is either on web.config files or deal only with external files for connection strings or earlier versions of vb.net not 2008.I have already successfully put connection strings into an external config file, but trying the same approach with application settings has failed.There are two sections of the app.config involved with application settings.
1. the configuration and config sections at the top of the config. file where the section group and the section name are described.
2. the actually data for the application settings by section group section name which appears in the body of the configuraton section of the app.config.[code]
I've just started using user settings. This works ok however I'm having problems with the location of user.config.
When I run the project in Studio, user.config seems to be stored in a different place than when I build the project.
In fact every time I build it the location seems to change - users therefore lose their settings every time the project is built, which seems pretty useless.
the My.Settings data is saved in the AppDataLocal folder for a user based on company.Then, inside the company folder there will be a folder for any applications published by that company, which contain the user.config file for that program.

The thing is, the folder for each program has a string of random alphanumeric characters at the end. I noticed that on both my XP and Win7 machine, the string is the same. What I am wanting to do is save the user.config file, but the only way to do this, seemingly, would be to hardcode that folder into the path to get the user.config file from.
how that string is generated, and what may possibly cause it to change in other releases even though, so far, it has stayed the same for several of my releases. I don't want to release a version one day and the string change and then it break my program.
My application is a service application, and it needs to load a set of configuration that the user can change. I was using the System.Configuration classes to set up the app.config file, and then I was going to give the user the option of editing this file to change configuration.
Can I move this file to a custom directory, something like C:settingsapp.config? Or is it forced to reside in the app directory?
Im trying to make a program that works a bit like the log in on a computer. But i cant make it load a different .config file depending on what username is used. I want it to load a config file from different directories that match the username. eg if the username was bob then it could be: C:MyProgramLoginBobapp.config I've been teaching myself and this has had me stuck for ages.
I have an application that has a load of values in its app.exe.config file. The application is used by a few users, and the settings would change on a regular basis. so im having to change the config file, and send it out to all users.
I'd love to move the config file to the network somewhere and point the app to this file. ive tried to use;
I made a project in VB.NET 2008. When I update my project I change the assembly version but the problem is that when the user gets the new version they lose their user settings.[code]Note the version number in the path. Is there any way save in a location not affected by changing the version?
I have written an vb.net application, named vbapp.exe. And I would like to use vbapp.exe to shell an external .exe file and this external .exe will create a file in the folder in which the external .exe file is located.However, the external .exe file will not recognize its own folder, on the contrary, it will think that its own folder is where the vb application, vbapp.exe, is located.
I'd like to select my cases from an external location.[code]I want my users, when they click a button, to download a file from my Dropbox(a .txt file). Then, the file will read all of the code, and add it to the code..So for example if in the .txt it was something like.[code]
I am just not happy with the fact that the user.config file gtets saved in the user's account folder. Is there a way to save it in the Application's Startup Folder instead? I couldn't find any configuration properties within the PROJECT PROPERTIES which would let me change the file location.
I am creating a windows service in VS2010, and in order to store a user's input during installation I've been told to write it to a file called app.config.However i cannot find this app.config file? Does it create one in a windows service project? or just in a WCF windows service project?
I wam trying to create a application that will take a screenshot when the timer ticks over.What I need to find out is how do i Make a type of 'crosshair' system for the window that the screenshot will be taken.ike I will have my main VB app and the end-user will drag the crosshair over lets say, Their iTunes libary and the ap will get the height, width of the iTunes and then take a screenshot JUST OF THE ITUNES program, not the whole dekstop.
well I want it to look like this: [Textbox] [Browse] [Start] So you click browse, find the exe file, click ok(or something like that) and then click start I also want to make it so it saves the location of the last exe file it started, so you dont have to browse for it every time you use the program.
I'm looking for a way to specify the location for the User.config file that is used for storing the My.Settings object. It appears that this is not possible. The problem for me is, I don't want to be responsible for creating several different files on the users computer that really have no use and are difficult to find and clean once an update is released. For most users, this is not a serious problem, as many will probably never update the software, and most will probably only go through a couple of updates. On my system, there are config files for every build of the application, and the same to a lesser extent will be true for my beta testers.
I can understand that MS wants to make sure that no two applications will use the same location for storing application data, but a simple [UserData] [CompanyName][ApplicationName] for storing application data will probably suffice for 99.9999 percent of the legitimate applications in the world. Bogging a user's system down with erroneous files, no matter how small, is an unnecessary drain on system resources and a potential source of problems for the user. It's bad enough that most programs leave bits and pieces of themselves all over a user's system after De-installation - this to me seems only to exaggerate this problem.
Is the only way to get around this problem to write a whole new Settings Class? Is there a way to change the location of the UserConfig file to a more friendly (and more predictable) location that I am not finding for myself? It would seem that having at least the OPTION to specify a location for the User.Config file would be OBVIOUS and easy to implement, so why did they leave this out?
I'm all new to this treeview business. I have a fixed treeview, very simple and basic. Only two levels, parent and child nodes. I just need two things out of this treeview.
1) If parent is checked, check all child nodes.
2) If just one child node is unchecked, uncheck parent node.
That's it! I've been looking for this for 30 mins and I cant find it. Maybe because my vb.net is old, it doesnt seem to be the same as others =/ I'm using vb.net 2003.

I am making changes to my companies internal paysite in order to come into compliance with the new credit card regulations. We have decided that when we get a split tender transaction that comes through we want to get the remaining balance along with how much was on the card to start out with and send that info back to the customer service rep with a message relaying the need for another payment source along with the remaining balance and the amount that was originally on the card.
Instead of chaining the transactions together with the split tender Id we have decided we would like to finalize each split tender transaction with a prior_auth_capture and then request the next payment source and amount and process that transaction in the same manner. I know that we are side stepping the functionality some but those are my orders.
My questions are, is this feasible and possible and how do you do this in code? I am using the C# SDK to implement this in VB.NET 2008
My thoughts are that I would have to process the transaction for the amount passed as a auth_capture transaction and then some how do the prior_auth_transaction with a zero amount or something?
I need to validate a basic authorization header that is being sent to my HttpListener in VB.NET. I'm grabbing the header like so (feel free to point out better ways to do this as well):
I made this login script and I want a user to download a file when they login. The download file button checks a folder named login. Once a user logs in it creates a folder named login then it allows the user to download the file. The only problem I have is that I don't know how to let the download button accept any user. Right now the person has to be named chris and they can choose what password they want. Also how do I allow the program to place the file on the desktop and not the test folder. I didn't know the code for it because each user has a
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
What code would I put in order to lock my software so that no one use it without authorization? I know this is the delphi program Project1; uses Windows; var HardID : String = 'Enter Hardware ID here'; function GetHardwareID():string; [Code] .....

I have a Asp.net Web Project using authentication mode="Forms". My login works perfectly. Now the Problem is that I have a link in a site that is only available to authorized users. It is possible that the pdf file of that link does not exist. What I want to do is to verify the availability of the pdf with a HttpWebRequest. Since the pdf file is only available for authorized users (web.config/location/system.web/authorization) I have to mark the HttpWebRequest as authrorized. But I don't have the logincredentials at this time (only when the user logs in and the .net framework wouldn't get me the password of the user). How to send the already established authorization with a new HttpWebRequest?
