View 5 Replies1.I�d like to publish a free vb.net desktop application for the users to download and use meanwhile I�d like to collect usage information ex: user ip address, user�s registration information, used features, time spent� if the user allows the report to be sent back.
2.Also , in order for the user to be able to use the application, he�ll have to register it then, everytime, before the application loads, it gets verified online that it was registered, maybe validate the registration information or a valid user name and password, no critical personal information. The target of this step is for the application to be used exclusively by the registered user and maybe on his computer only.

View 5 RepliesI 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">

In VB.NET I used wscript.shell to add a shortcut to the desktop. I didn't realize it created the shortcut on the "All Users" desktop, which means I can't delete it. I don't have admin rights as this is my work computer, and asking for admin isn't an option. WScript.Shell has a createshortcut method but not a remove shortcut method! I've been googling for days with no luck. Windows XP Pro 2002, SP3.

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to collect directories and add to TreeView. In Windows 7, there is a "Documents" folder under Libraries which is basically linked to "My Documents" under "Users". When I click "Documents" in the TreeView, I can get a list of all subdirectories by using
Dim dirs As String() = Directory.GetDirectories(strDir)
Also want it to load in the users default web browser if possible.

View 7 RepliesI am trying to build a nice-looking menu that allows users to select certain items. When they hover over the items, a nice highlight color fades in and then out when they leave the item. Anyways, it looks very nice, but I don't want to have to use a "page" style. (e.g., page 1 contains 6 items, click "Next" to go to the next page of 6 itesm) I'd like to allow the user to scroll through the items. I'll develop my own GUI for the scrollbar, however I have absolutely no idea where to start on actually fitting all of the items into like a 400x200 box, and allowing the user to scroll up and down through the items. The items are actual controls (e.g. each item contains a picturebox, a couple of labels, a couple of buttons collectively).

how to remove a Folder created in Users Program Menu under File System, when an application is uninstalled? During installation of the Application, a link is created at the users desktop and also in Users Program Menu. However during uninstallation the link for the Users Desktop and User Program Menu is removed, but the Folder created in the Users Program Menu remains.

View 6 RepliesI am writing a little app to take over from Active Desktop as we are using Win7.
I am having problems getting my form to stay open, if the user hits the "Show Desktop" button the form minimises. I need this to stay open at all times in the back ground.
I have disbled the minimise button to stop the users using it.
how I can stop this from happening or if I use a timer to check the windows state it apears normal as it looks like the "Show Desktop" button does not actually minimise the window!
Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.
View 14 RepliesI want to log the ip's of the users that use my vb.net program.
First of all, is this legal?
If it is, how can i log the ip's in a textfile on a webserver?
Im thinking about a small non-visible webbrowser that sends the ip to a .txt file.
I am wanting to get the users IP address (the logged in user will be running the application under there user context on there local PC), but many PC's in our environment have multiple NIC's that have been added by VMWare Workstation, I would like to exclude these type of bridged connections and only show the "primary" NIC on the PC.The following function will get the IPv4 address, however on my test PC it is returning the bridged connection and not the IP Address of the network facing NIC.
Shared Function GetIP(ByVal computerName As String) As String
'Dim ipEntry As IPHostEntry = Dns.GetHostEntry(computerName)
'Dim tmpAddr As IPAddress() = ipEntry.AddressList
[code]....
My users have a mixture of DHCP and static addresses so cannot limit the NIC to either of these connection types. We tend to have a 172.16.x.x IP range, so is there a way to modify the above function so that it will only return a 172.16.x.x address?
My form's KeyPreview is set to True. I want to allow my users to use the Enter Key instead of just the Tab key. I have the following code in my form's KeyPress event:

If e.KeyChar = vbkeyreturn Then

It doesn't like vbkeyreturn, which I used in Visual Basic 6.0. I think I must be close to having it right.
I'm attempting to make a system that stores employees details...name address etc. I would like the users to be able to log on, see and change their own details only. Is this possible is asp.net and if so how? I'm really new at this so if you could keep answers as simple as possible.

I'm writing a program in vb.net that automatically creates users from a database.It works fine, as long as there is no comma or there are no two spaces in the CN.
I am using the WinNT interface, so in fact it creates a SamAccountName and copies it automatically to the CN.When I create the entry manually in AD, I can add comma's and spaces without problems, so it should be a programming error.
