Security Error When Running Remote App (VISTA)
Mar 25, 2009I have an VB.NET 2005 application installed on my Windows 2003 Server.I try to access that application for other computer on my network. Read below:I get this error when running a remote VB.NET application.
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
I had the error on my computer running Windows XP. I am use to that, so I went in the FrameWork .NET 2.0 and set the security to FullTrust and the error disapeared. Now I have the same error on my computer that is running Windows Vista and when I go do the same security changes to FullTrust, it does not work. I still have the error showing.Is there some other configuration to do on a Vista machine to be able to run a remote VB.NET application ?

Security Settings And SetEnvironmentVariable Operation?
Sep 21, 2011I have a VB .Net Application that wants to set an environment variable in the System settings. According to the MSDN, the System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable can do this, for example:
System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(_ENV_NAME, value, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine)
Problem is, when I execute this code I get a SecurityException. I assume I need to have administrator rights (I am running on Windows 7).I have done some searching in the forums but cannot find a good example of manipulating system settings that require elevated privileges. I have similar issues with modifying a registry key. The variables and keys need to be present for all users of the machine, so that is why I want to modify these settings. I don't even know where to start.
.net - Programmatically Modify My.Log Settings Configuration
Jun 22, 2010we have several applications in Vb.Net using the built in log system (My.Log) to write log information. Until now this system was configured by the application.config file before execution but now we want to let the user to choose some options.
Is there a way that does not requires to parse the XML file and process it? Is there available something like My.Settings that will do the dirty job done?
An example would be to be able to modify the DefaultSwitch value from Verbose to Warning or changing a property of the FileLog like the maxFiles attribute:
<switches>
<add name="DefaultSwitch" value="Verbose" />
</switches>
<sharedListeners>

View 4 RepliesSettings In Crystal Reports That Modify Sort Order Of Data Sources?
Dec 3, 2009I'm working with Crystal Reports in VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.I have a List(Of Stuff) that I've sorted according to one of the object's members.I've verified in the debugger that the list is sorted correctly.When I define my list as the data source, as in
rptDetails.Subreports.Item("rptSubReport").SetDataSource(theListOfStuff)
and view the report, the list is reversed.So, looking for a workaround, I said, "OK, I'll sort the list backwards before binding it."The list still appeared backwards in the report.So something's happening, and I think it's within the report definition, because I don't know where else the sort order could be changed

Local & Remote Service Monitoring?
Mar 10, 2011I put together a small app I want to use on my local network for service monitoring across a few of my servers.
I'm using vb.net express 2010 with system.serviceprocess imported The problem I am having is that my code only seems to work locally, and will not retrieve the service data for any server on my network.
For example, my local machine is called "office-pc", and when running the app on it, I get all the service information.
Dim localServices As ServiceController() = ServiceController.GetServices("office-pc")
For Each localservice As ServiceController In localServices
ComboBox1.Items.Add(localservice.DisplayName)
Next
But, if I want the service info from my web server called "casper", I use the same code, but i change the GetServices() parameter like so;
Dim localServices As ServiceController() = ServiceController.GetServices("casper")
For Each localservice As ServiceController In localServices
ComboBox2.Items.Add(localservice.DisplayName)
Next
After a few seconds delay, nothing happens, ComboBox2 remains empty.
It was my understanding that GetServices() would get the local machines service info unless a machine name was specified, which in both cases is true.
So why isn't it working? Do I need to set something up on the network servers first?
Local And Remote Database Sync
Dec 5, 2009I'm posting this in the vb.net as I will be using visual studio to perform the task. So here is what I am trying to achieve or at least achieve it more efficiently than what I am doing now.
So I have two identical database setups, both with a table , let call it table tblUsers. The local database is edited through vb.net and is a Access database. The second database is hosted on a remote server and is a MySQL databse.
Currently I have no problem connecting and editing either database through vb.net. I'm using OLE DB to connect and handle the Access database and ODBC 5.1 to connect and handle the MySQL database.
Here is what I would like to do:
User opens the program Presses the "update local" button
The program updates the local database to whatever the remote database is The user uses the program to edit fields in the local database
When done, the user presses the "Update remote" button and the remote database fields that have been edited with the program in the local database will be updated to the remote database.
Currently, the only way for me to do this is to go line by line in a for next and use a command builder to compare each field and update that way.

View 6 Replies.net - Opening A File Which May Be Local Or Remote (via Http)
Feb 20, 2010In PHP you can use fopen(Path) to read from a file. The Path can be either a local file (in the usual formats /etc/file or c:file.txt) OR it can be a URL in which case PHP will open a http connection and read from the remote location
I'd like to achieve the same in VB.Net. I'm not aware of any framework function which will achieve this.
I'm currently pattern matching the path against a Regex for a valid URL - If I get a match, I open the file using a httpwebrequest otherwise I try to use the local file system.
Private Function RetrieveBGImage() As Image
Dim Ret As Image
If Not (IsURL(_BackgroundImage) Or IsLocalFile(_BackgroundImage)) Then
Throw New Exception(String.Format("Unable to load from uri ""{0}""",
[Code].....
NB: I'm aware that the logic above is inefficient and actually ends up calling IsURL() more than it has to
Backing Up Database From Remote Server To Local
Mar 25, 2010I am making a VB.NET application that can download/backup the database that is currently on a remote server. I have Remote Server IP,Username,Password and Database name. I am also able to connect to it. But I don't know what to do after connecting to it. I don't know what all files are need to be backed up. (I think database and log file both must be backed up, I am not sure).
View 1 RepliesDetermine Whether File Path Is Local Or Remote?
May 9, 2011I am looking for a way to determine whether a file spec that I provide is local or remote. I am using VB2008. I have a VB6 app that does this by using the PathIsNetworkPath API call, but I am hoping that I can use the .NET framework instead with VB2008. Google gives lots of results on how to determine if a network path is available, but not specifically what I want.
