View 4 RepliesWe have a couple of applications at work that need a reference to the license server set in the User Variables under the Enviroment Variables on the windows xp client machines(system properties, Advanced, Enviroment Variables). The problem is that both applications needs a reference to the same variable name and you can't have two with the same name. What i intend to do is to create a simple windows application with a button for each application that deletes the variable item present, adds a new variable item with the value needed for that application to be able to run and then run the application itself. This is just a temporary fix until we get a more permanent solution. The 'GetEnvironmentVariable' class in vb is not able to add or delete a item, maybe the WIN32 API could do the job.
View 2 RepliesI was trying to learn how to do openGL within a VB .NET environment and it seems that the Tao framework or OpenTK is recommended with OpenTK having a higher recommendation so that is what I chose to try using. Since I am brand new to this, I am trying to just draw a simple box, triangle, or anything really so that I can understand it all before making more complex things. I have been unsuccessful at this so far so I will list in order what I have done so far and hopefully someone here can help me correct it or provide a new example just so I can draw a simple shape.
1) I installed OpenTK using opentk-2010-10-06.exe
2) In a new project I added the references to OpenTK.dll and OpenTK.Compatibility.dll
3) I added the control (opentk.glcontrol.dll)
4) I added the actual control to my form.Using some examples online I added the rest:
5) I wrote my references in:
Imports OpenTK
Imports OpenTK.GLControl
Imports OpenTK.Platform

The above results in no display?

Ok, I am needing to capture the username of the user who is logged into a third party software (similar to citrix) which then will launch compiled vb.net applications from the 'Cloud'. If the user logs into their windows active directory machine as Smith123, and then logs into this third party software as SmithS, and launch a compiled program which runs on the remote server, and executes a button that displays the environment .username results, what will return? Smith123 or SmithS?

Environnent.NewLine seems to be resolving to two spaces " " (as are vbCrLf and ControlChars.CrLF). Using StringBuilder, AppendLine is doing the same.I've been racking my brain and searching the Internet trying to figure out why this the way it is, but am coming up empty.

View 2 RepliesI've googled a bit and saw someone said they had success in simply dragging the .dll files over to their application's path. I have tried this as well, and unfortunately it doesn't work. It stops the errors, but my chart is entirely blank. Some of the features of the chart work. ie: the legend shows up. But I have hidden some items from the legend and they still appear in the legend while running on a 2.0 system. For example, on my development machine, it shows 4 items in the legend, but on the 2.0 machine, there are all 7 - including the 3 that I have hidden.
