[Code] When I run this on my visual studio 2008 dev server it runs fine and works well. When I publish to IIS I always get Http 403 Forbidden Errors when trying to access any page on the site. There is 1 folder within my site that should be login protected called 'administration'.
View 2 RepliesI'm not a WinForms developer, but have been doing ASP.NET for quite some time.I have to write something in VB.NET that just pushes some simple data to a database.So I created the VB.NET WinForms app (Visual Studio 2005).When I run the app it works fine for using:
Dim conMyData As SqlConnection
Dim cmdInsert As SqlCommand
Dim isSaved As Boolean
[code]....
That is, if I define the connection string inside of the properties of the project. If I build my project, snatch the .exe from the bindebug folder and run it on my desktop,it works ONLY if I have the version that says My.Settings.MyConnectionString Otherwise, if I use the other version where I am pulling the connection string from my app.config file it only works if I run the project through visual studio, it will not run by just opening up the .exe on my desktop. It syas something like ConnectionString not set, or sometimes it states object not set to an instance of something... why does it work from within the project?Is it because when I build the project it cannot reference that app.config file since I've moved it to my desktop?
I'm writing an internal web application right now (with ASP.Net Web Forms), and it presents an odd problem. I have to be able to impersonate the currently logged in windows user, and execute a command based on their Windows Authentication to log in.. AND ... if they don't have Windows Authentication set up in the application I have to use to log them in, I have to be able to accept a user name and password. I also have to write the application in .Net 4.0, and secure it as much as possible. I got this to work by NOT utilizing Windows Authentication or Forms Authentication in the web.config, and instead setting session variables to guard against user accessing pages in the web app other that the log in. I did this by creating an oddly name session variable with a value based on their user name (windows auth or not), and then a secret session variable. The secret variable is in the web.config as a 256bit encrypted string, in which I decrypt, and set as the session secret. In order for the page to load, the first session variable can't be blank, and the second variable has to equal the decrypted key value... if the variables don't pass inspection, it redirects them to the login page. I set this up on every page, generic handler, and webservice method in the web app. I make the session timeout after a few minutes of no activity, and on log out, I set all session variables to nothing, and expire all cookies. (I also disable all cache).
My question is... Does this offer comparable security to that of Forms authentication? I have always used Forms authentication, but can't use it here. If I did, the users would have to reconfigure settings in IIS and in he web.config to toggle login procedures (From my knowledge, you can't use both Forms authentication, and windows authentication to manage the security of your pages and other web resources). With the method described above, I can accomplish the best of both worlds, but am curious about the security of my methods. Is there anything else I can implement here to assure the utmost security other that using forms authentication? Is it possible to accomplish the same level of security of Forms authentication without using it?
If I wanted to make sure that AUTHENTICATED users were denied access to Enroll.aspx and UNAUTHENTICATED users had access how should my "allow/deny users" tags be set in the web.config?[code]......
View 2 RepliesI have an issue with my .NET application and it can only be reproduced sometimes and only on client's location, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve. In the application the forms authentication is used. There is a login page to which every anonymous user is redirected. After user enters username and password, it redirects to DefaultURL or some predefined page. The problem is that sometimes when user enters correct username and password, it doesn't login, instead it just refreshes the login page without any error messages. After several tries of inputing username and password, user is able to login to the system.
See my login page Submit_Click code below:
Dim userName As String = tbUsername.Text
Dim password As String = tbPassword.Text
Dim returnUrl As String = Request("returnUrl")

We have an application in Access for UI and MS Sql server as Database server. We now decided to build a new application in web application for UI. This web application is only used by the employees who work for the company. But later we decided to host this web application on outside server. So the user (from this company only.) can able to login anywhere in the world. First I thought creating the web application using 'windows' authentication thinking we may be using it as an intranet web application. But now my manager asked me to use both 'Forms' and as well as 'Windows' for using this application and this web application will be hosted on outside server. I really don't catch his point of using both types of authentication.

The Intranet was done with forms authentication and stored in a SQL database. how I go about (if possible) authenticating a login in a vb.net project that queries the user settings from the ASP.Net database that was created on the SQL server for the forms Authentication.
View 5 RepliesI am reading the article at: [URL].. Forms Authentication in ASP.NET 2.0". I am using VS 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5. I don't know if this makes a difference, so please let me know.
A user logs on to our system in the morning Based on their Windows Authentication, they can access several intranet applications. For a particular application, the user has to select their Organization or Position or Location.
Based on the user's Windows Authentication, once the user selects one of the three above and clicks a "Submit" button, a second page is launched that shows certain information about the selection based on the User's authentication.
For example, if User selects Organization, the following information will be returned based on the Organization THEY are a member of. They can not access information from OTHER organizations, ONLY their own based on their login credentials. This information returned as a result of the dropdownlist selected value includes: street address, city, state, zipcode, Bus. Unit #, etc. appears in labels on the second page.
The labels can be dynamically created at runtime. (I dont know if a User control can be created to do this, since the "Position" and "Location" will contain the same address information, and it doesn't matter at the moment). I just want to populate the labels on the second page (or on Postback) based on the User's log in credentials after they click the "Submit" button. Or, if they don't have to click a button, just have the information complete based on the selected value of the dropdownlist control.
as topic, i need to send an e-mail without outgoing authentication becouse server hasn't outgoing authentication.. how i can do this??
View 1 RepliesI have a Windows Forms which contains a whole bunch of different text items on TextBoxes, Labels, and ComboBoxes. I then catalog what is written in these Textboxes and selected in these ComboBoxes in XML files so that they can be reopened later. Because what goes into the Textboxes and ComboBoxes are physical quantities, they have units (for examples "Inches," or "Lbs," etc.) which are the text of the Labels themselves. Multiple quantities share similar units, so I don't allow the user to change each one individually, but instead change a unit globally (for example, all weights in "Kilogram" instead of "Lb").
The units themselves are Public Properties of a separate class which I named "MyDBClass". The properties raise events when they are Set, so that objects data-bound to them change as well.When I initialize the main Windows form, I instantiate a class of type "MyDBClass," set all the unit defaults ("LengthShort = mm," etc.), and create a databinding for the Labels to the "MyDBClass" properties (e.g. ctrl.DataBindings.Add("Text", MyDBClass, "LengthS") ). From then on, the only way the user can change the units is to use my MenuStrip and select "New" (which erases all text and sets the MyDBClass properties back to default), use the MenuStrip and select "Open" (which opens an XML file, reads the "Unit" elements in, and uses them to set the MYDBClass properties), or use the MenuStrip and select "Change Units" (which brings up a dialog with a handful of ComboBoxes containing possible units, and then sets the properties of the MyDBClass based on what the user selected in the dialog).
Having said ALL of that, I can finally get to the problem- one of my units ("SpringRate") does not change when the user selects "New" or "Change Units" from the MenuStrip. It will only change when the user opens an XML file. This makes no sense, as the act of opening an XML file calls the exact same code as selecting "New" from the MenuStrip (which is that is sets the properties of the MyDBClass). The label is also identical to its surrounding labels and the ComboBox which selects the unit is identical to its surrounding ComboBoxes (I tend to use Copy/Paste when working in Design mode). I even put Try->Catch blocks around the Property's Set code and the code inside the other Subs which calls it.
We are creating a Chat Application for our chatnetwork, we originally made it in VB6 works like a beauty and converting to VB.NET At the moment, it joins the channel fine, nothing wrong with this displays everything it needs to however we are in the process of showing emoticons.While we were on XP in debug mode and release mode, the emoticons showed.Once we moved the compiled version over to Vista Home and Ulitmate the emoticons would not show, we have looked and looked all over google and have not come to a conclusion, today we even moved the whole Project folder over to Vista, ran it in debug mode, and the images still wouldn't show in the RTB. Works fine in XP but not Vista?
View 7 RepliesI am currently reading up on documentation for a possible assignment I might be put on. In a design document they talk about the .exe.config file. They state that its only purpose is to store constants: "Also note that this file is meant to store constants only, it is not meant to write configuration values to (and the .NET 1.1. framework even prevents this by not offering classes/methods to do so). Therefore, configuration is written to XML files using a..."As far as I understand, this is not true. I don't know about .NET 1.1 preventing this, but I remember in my last project that I did write configuration values to that file (I saved GUI contents there). My project was a small prototype, so maybe I did it wrong, but I do not think so...So what is the intended purpose of this file?
View 3 RepliesI would like to commit the data put in a checkedlistbox to the user.config. I have found a way to commit them to my.settings but no matter what Save() method I call, it does not commit the new data (that is not bound to a control, through the propertybindings) to the user.config, either immediately or when I shutdown the application. Which means, when I loop through the settings when the application starts back up, the data is not there to be added back to the checkedlistbox. I have put save methods in the formclosing events as well as when the data is created in the my.settings. using my.mysettings, my.settings and my.settings.default. Thank you in advance for your input.
This first method is a called when a button is pushed. it checks the text and then calls the next method (AddProperty) which should add the property to my.settings and save it to user.config, but my understanding is that it is not written to the file till the applicatoin closes.
