Anyone know why, Every time I try calling something with this PhysicalAddress it says Null Exception, and the debug always displays nothing inside the Var's, Is this a bug or something? Im using Framework 2.0 >:O
I'm trying to use the DHCP API (using the references on pinvoke.net) to retrieve a computer's MAC address when given the IP address but I can't get the code to work. I've run all the C# code on pinvoke.net through the C#-to-VB converter but I'm stuck now.
Here's what I have so far. The value of res is always 5 (should be 0). Thing is, I can't find any documentation on what the return codes mean
vb
Private Sub GetMACDim client As String = "1.1.1.1" Dim server As String = "0.0.0.0" Dim si As New NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO si.SearchType = NativeMethods.DHCP_SEARCH_INFO_TYPE.DhcpClientIpAddress si.ClientIpAddress = Convert.ToUInt32(StringIPAddressToUint32(client)) Dim res As UInteger Dim oInfo As IntPtr

View 6 RepliesI have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,
So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?
My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.

View 1 RepliesI've searched and seen alot of posts about obtaining the mac address of computers but I'm not sure if I understand completely or if those are the ones I need.
I am needing to obtain the mac address of a specific computer via an ip address. Most of what I've seen returns to me an array or list of items.
I have a server (server A) that has several public IP addresses. I am building a desktop application that will run on server A to fetch data from another server (server B) using the httpwebrequest class.
What I would like to do is be able to programatically direct the application to use a specific IP address from the one the server (A) has.

View 6 RepliesWell now i have an issue which is pointing in the use of "path's" physical and network.I have a SQL server on a Server machine and i have a desktop machine used as client.I'm runing from my client machine a stored procedure in order to add a streaming data base.But also before i run this procedure i run another one which prepare the desired "path", this procedure takes:
myPath="\ServerSharedFolderSQL
in order to run the first procedure i have to turn myPath in each physical name:
myPath="DriveLetter:PublicWorkFilesSQL"
Now my Issue is how i will have the physical path, which is build it on the server and which it's from very difficult (to imposible) to know it? Basically i need a function which will return me the physical path, which the implementation it's not knowing to me. My developing environment is vb.net 2010?
We have an VB.NET VS 2005 application that goes out and connects to remote computers on the network to gather information about the running services, processes, etc.
However, not all of the computers and servers are Windows boxes, and this is causing us some grief.
Is there a way in VB .NET to determine if a computer is running a Windows OS before trying to make a connection to it?
I would like to detect the Address and Port number of the Parallel Port in computer.
View 4 RepliesI have a SQL Server Data Base that I use to keep all my contact information so that I have it in one central location and can easily add more data to it. I want to be able to do two things:
1. Update the Windows Address Book or Outlook Express or Outlook directly from an application on my PC. Add, delete and update contacts and all contact data. Eventually, I would also like to be able to change the options if possible.
2. Update contacts in Blackberry devices directly from a PC application. Again, Add, Delete and Update contacts and all contact data. Currently, I have two Blackberry 9000 Bolds, but eventually I do not want to be limited to only this model, and I will also want to be able to set options on Blackberry devices.
Currently, I update the Windows Address Book with a CSV file created from my Data Base Application and import it using Outlook Express Import. However, Outlook Express will not import or export all fields. For example: Spouse, Birthday, IPAddress, Anniversary and more. I know that these fileds can be updated because the Blackberry Desktop Manager can do it.
It is a pain to have to first Sync Outlook Express with my Data Base and then Sync the Blackberry with Outlook Express. Especially when all fields are not updateable via CSV and the Blackberry Desktop Manager does not map all Outlook Express fields. However, it does map more fields than what are avaliable via CSV which is how I know that it is possible to update more fields in the Windows Address Book.
I use Visual Studio 2005 soon to be 2008 (maybe ) on Windows XP SP 3, 3.0 Ghz intel Pentium IV, and I do know that there is a Blackberry plug-in for VS which I have downloaded but it is not installed (no experience with it nor do I know what it might do to VS).

View 2 RepliesI am creating a Windows Application in VB.Net 2.0. The application is an FTP transfer application, where I need to display 2 panes. On the first pane, I need to display the client folder structure and on the other pane, I need to display the remote FTP server. Most of the functionality is complete, but I am stuck on 2 places.
1. I need to display a combo box on top, similar to the one we have for Windows Explorer Address bar (where we can see My Computer, Desktop, Network Places, Drives, etc.). I have searched a lot but could not find something matching my requirement other than a few 3rd party controls which I need to purchase (I am looking for something open-source).
2. I am using ListView Control to display the files list. I need to show icons for "My Computer", Network Places and desktop on the List View, which I am not able to do. Is there any way I can display these Icons and make them work exactly the way Windows Explorer does?
What i want is :
There is one windows app ( made in .NET 3.5, VS2008, C# ) for Windows XP SP2 & SP3

Now,when my apps starts i dont want users to change there IP Address untill my app stops.

View 2 RepliesHere is what I am doing: I have several servers that are used to run a piece of software. The software is started using a scheduled task. I can have up to three instances of the software running using three scheduled tasks, and three logged in users. Currently I am using a separate program running on two additional servers to make sure these two additional users are logged in, the scheduled task will not run if the user is not logged in. This separate program uses a saved Remote Desktop Session to make sure the users are logged in.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to access the "AppData" of a user on a remote computer. I have all the rights needed. I tried this:
r = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.Users, MachineName)
r.OpenSubKey(SIDValue & "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders")
AppData = r.GetValue("AppData")
The fact is that it retrieves my own appdata folder...Actually the SID Value of the account on the distant computer and on mine is the same (I am under a domain). I don't know if it is the reason why I get my own appdata folder.How should I proceed?When I browse the HKEY_Local_Machine, I manage to have information about the remote computer..But not when browsing HKEY_USERS.
