View 4 RepliesI'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code:
ComputerName = "."
Set wmiServices = GetObject _
("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName)
Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _
("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive")

This is my first attempt at creating a Winforms application, and I have been developing in the .Net Framework (Silverlight, ASP.Net, WPF) for about 6 months. So, my appologies if this is a newbie question.
Basically what I am doing right now is taking the drawings of a stylus-based input, and storing them into an image field in a SQL Server database. Then, in another form, I go and get that image out of the database, and load it into a picture box. It works, but it is rather "sloppy" how it got there.When the user clicks save, it stores that image into a temporary folder, then converts it to a byte array and throws it into the database that way. Then, it deletes the file from the temporary folder. When retrieving it, it pulls it out of the database in a byte array, then converts it to an image in a temporary folder, thus displaying it on the form.
Is there a way that I can just bypass the storing of the file onto the user's harddrive both times, and go from byte array to picturebox?
I am trying to create a function to convert a mapped drive path to a UNC path. I did some googling and found several different pages on the matter. I am most interested in the first one, but I cannot seem to get the code to cooperate. Since the original post was in C#, here is my VB.NET conversion:

I need to backup the sql server 2005 express database. It works fine if I make backup to specific folder"C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLBackup". But if I change the path to any other path . I got an error "Backup failed for Server 'server name'. "
My code is
Dim sqlBackup As New Backup()
sqlBackup.Action = BackupActionType.Database
sqlBackup.BackupSetDescription = "ArchiveDataBase:" + DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString()
sqlBackup.BackupSetName = "Archive"
sqlBackup.Database = "data"

I am trying to find out how much free space is on a drive using something like
Dim space As Long
space = My.Computer.FileSystem.Drives(0).AvailableFreeSpace
I am using some like following code to get UNC path of drive letter.
Dim query As New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
Using searcher As New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(Query)
'loops for all drives on system
For Each Mgmt As System.Management.ManagementObject In searcher.Get()
And it was working but now it is giving error. Below is error with stack trace
{"Specified cast is not valid."}
at System.Management.ThreadDispatch.Start()
at System.Management.ManagementScope.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Get()
I also want to know alternative way to get unc path of drive that is also not depend on windows API. As there is a class driveinfo to get all drives (including network) on system. Is there any class that also provide complete or unc path information of Drive.
How do I determine a mapped drive's actual path?
So if I have a mapped drive on a machine called "Z" how can I using .NET determine the machine and path for the mapped folder?
The code can assume it's running on the machine with the mapped drive.
I looked at Path, Directory, FileInfo objects, but can't seem to find anything.
I also looked for existing questions, but could not find what I'm looking for.
We are getting a new server and we already have a Z: drive mapped, and we want to use the same letter and just change the path without touching all machines. I am looking for a simple VBscript to do that. I have one that will remove and one that will add, but I need to have on script.
View 1 RepliesI was expecting this to be easy but it seems that it is not... all I want to do is loop through all drives on a computer and if the drive is a network drive then get the UNC path that this network drive maps to. Simples. I was expecting to just do this:
vb.net
For Each drv In IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives()
If drv.DriveType = IO.DriveType.Network Then
MessageBox.Show(drv.RootDirectory.ToString)
End If
Next

By having the user select their drive letter and type their account name into a text box could this be implemented into a directory.

1- I've a database access without password on the Server.I've created forms by vb.net to connect to database through OLedb Connection *like this
PHP
Dim Connec As New OleDbConnection("provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data source = \Serverc$xDB.mdb;")
my problem is : I worte : if I want to connect to database from any pc I must save Username and password to control userpasswords2 (soted user name and password from User accounts)that's big problem , so I must save this to all client pc and the client can access Server system Drive there are no security ,this is the fifth day to find a way to connect to my database from server without share system drive.I tried to used it but not working.where can I write server name and path database and server's User-name and password.I've an exe file on server drive like this \Serverc$1.exe
I want some client to run this file with out share the file.If I can to creat a form by vb.net has a Username and password to run this exe without client know the userName and password.I'found map network , but is not ok for me.If I mapped network drive to client, then he can copy files and read some of security data.Is there a way to access this file from server without mapping or sharing folder for public ?
I'm coding this neat little project that's kind of a hack into the SanDisk U3 Cruzer's ability to have both a CDFS and FAT32 File System. This is helpful because the program is burned to the CDFS (It's basically slip streamed as an .ISO in place of the original U3 .ISO), and the settings files (which I've developed as text files) are placed on the root of the flash drive. The program itself is VERY simple actually, except I'm having a slight issue that's really driving me insane:
The drive path of the Flash Drive won't be the same from computer to computer. I.E... The files are "UAI.txt" and "UInfo.txt". The root of the drive on my comp is "I:", but on my laptop is "F:". So if I program the path from my computer as the absolute path, an exception is thrown when the path changes on another computer. I cannot have this happen. It is probably THE MOST crucial element to this program. How can you save and read info if you can't find the files? =P
So I've gone through so many threads and forums trying to find a batch of code to allow me to make the path relative. I've found the following code (modified, of course). It works PERFECT in Debug, but throws an exception once packaged to the CDFS partition:

I'm need of some way of finding the UNC Path of a share via a script or command line or even a custom created program. I'm trying to automate deletion of users and the setup is a bit complicated.
Home folders are set up like this:
We create a folder on a Disk on a fileserver.When this folder is created, a share is automatically created on a lower levelThen the DFS Links are set up towards the newly created share.
Now, when deleting a user, I could just delete the DFS Folder, meaning that the target folder is the one being deleted. But since it's a share, that cannot happen.
i am having a console application. I am trying to connect to a sql server.
my connection string: Data Source=<Some server>;Initial Catalog=<some database>;Trusted_Connection=True.
when i am executing on my local machine it runs successfully. But when i am trying to run it on a server it is giving me the following error:
Login failed for user ' '. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
do i have to change my connection string? if so what it should be?
In my scenario, users are able to upload zip files to a.[url]....I would love to create a "daemon" which in specified time intervals will move-transfer any zip files uploaded by the users from a[url].....From the info i gathered so far,
The daemon will be an .ashx generic handler.
The daemon will be triggered at the specified time intervals via a plesk cron job
The daemon (thanks to SLaks) will consist of two FtpWebRequest's (One for reading and one for writing).
how could i implement step 3?
Do i have to read into to a memory() array the whole file and try to write that in b.example.com ?
How could i write the info i read to b[url].....?
Could i perform reading and writing of the file at the same time? No i am not asking for the full code, i just can figure out, how could i perform reading and writing on the fly, without user interaction.I mean i could download the file locally from a.example.com and upload it at b.example.com but that is not the point.
