What Are The Merit's And Demerit's Of Using UPN In Place Of SAMAccountName For User Id
Jan 26, 2012
We are using sAMAccountName for User Id in active directory ,but the sAMAccountName active directory attribute is taking only 20 characters.So now I am trying to use "user principal name" (UPN) as a User Id in my application .what are the merit's and demerit's of using UPN in place of sAMAccountName for user Id.Also I have seen when I create the Email Id as a User ID then all the right characters along with "@" sign are saved in the domain name dropdown list. Can I use the "user principal name" (UPN) to save user ID in my application with email Id type names with this active directory functionality.

I'm trying to programatically create a new Active Directory user setting the sAMAccountName attribute with a value larger than 20 chars.
When I call the DirectoryEntry.CommitChanges(), I get the error:
00000523: SysErr: DSID-031A0FB6, problem 22 (Invalid argument), data 0
If I try to create a new user setting the sAMAccountName smaller than 20 chars everything work.Before someone says the the limit of the sAMAccountName is 20 chars, I want to point out that if I try to create the same user having the sAMAccountName more than 20 chars using the Windows tool "Active Directory Users and Computers" everything works. I can see the new entry in AD using the LDP tool and the entry has the sAMAccountName with more than 20 chars.Why can't I create the user programatically using .NET?
Below is the code I'm using:
Using objDirEnt As DirectoryEntry = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://my.domain.com/cn=Users,dc=my,dc=domain,dc=com", "username", "Password", AuthenticationTypes.Secure Or AuthenticationTypes.Sealing)
Using usuario As DirectoryEntry = objDirEnt.Children.Add("CN=aaaaaa bbbbbbbbbb ccccccccc (aaaaaa.bbbbbb.ccccccccc)", "user")
usuario.Properties("sAMAccountName").Value = "aaaaaa.bbbbbb.ccccccccc"

I need to set the sAMAccountName field along with the CN for a group I am creating. The reason is that the code I am using to check membership appears to be using the sAMAccountName to verify group membership (I infer from its operation that it is using sAMAccountName to look up the group). I will post first the code I am using to verify user membership.

I'm trying to include a user control in an aspx page, it works fine, but my control does position itself where I want it and always appears at the very top of the page. Could it have something to do with the masterpage? I've tried registering the user control in the master page, but I don't know how to reference it in the content page.[code]

Below is the code i am using for user input which works fine apart from one thing that i can not work out how to do.I want to detect if a user had inputed a character in the wrong place. The correct input is:
D:Folder name
The incorrect input is:
D:Folder name
How would i detect the extra '' at the end?

I have a user control which is essentially a main menu I can place it into my MasterPage hard-coded, but I don't want that, I want to be able to dynamically place it with the code behind of the MasterPage.
<controls:mainMenu ID='MainMenu1' runat='server' />
So what I am looking to do is something like
if **condition is true ** _ response.write('<controls:mainMenu ID='MainMenu1' runat='server' />')
Of course, I know that won't work, but how would I place the control based on a condition in code behind on the master page?

Like I imagine everyone, I often have problems navigating my code because the flow can jump from place to place. For example, if my code calls routine1, and I then want to go to routine1's code, I know that I can click in the dropdown menu and it will take me to that sub. But wouldn't it be easier if I could somehow right click on the call to routine way and select something like 'take me there' which would transport me from the function making the call to the code for the function being called? Then it would be easy to hop from place to place.

I am learning Visual Basic 2010 and I am working on a space combat program for my own education and amusement (a simulation of the Honorverse space combat system). I have a routine to add ships to the enemy ship roster and then place them randomly on the viewscreen. When I step through the sub with the debugger, it works fine, but when I run it without stopping, it wants to place all the objects in the same place on the screen. It's actually assigning 2 random numbers pertaining to the size of the viewscreen and assigning those numbers to GameObjectScreenLocation through GameObjectWorldLocation.X and GameObjectWorldLocation.Y. The objects are fully initialized to 0 in their constructor, FYI. Code is below:

I designed a DAL (data access layer). This DAL mainly consists of a handfull of methods to call stored procedures. All methods are shared. So no instance generation of the DAL class occurs.
The DAL with it's single class is located in an own project. The connection string is defined in the app-config file of this project.
I want other applications to use the DAL class by referencing the dll generated by the DAL-project. For this reason, I can not any longer define the connection string in the DAL app-config as it is, because the client application determines which database needs to be used.
- Dropping the "shared" keyword of my methods. Create an instance of the DAL class. Add a property for the connection string. When application starts, create one global or multiple local instance/s of the DAL and set it's connection string property.
Comment: I don't like this, because it implies more coding work on the application code side (create instance of class, assign connection string)
- Granting the DAC class access to the connection string defined in the application code by adding a connection string property inside the application code. Thus the DAC class remains "shared".
Comment: I'd need to set a reference from the DAL to the application code during without knowing the application yet. I could try stack tracing or something like that. But it feels to convoluted for me.

I am having hard time determining how to get 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place determined by time. I was thinking about bubble sort through an array, but since I am determining lowest to highest based on numbers = runner it just sounds more confusing. The code to determine second is not that efficient, I know there is an easier way. That is the part where I am stuck.

I spent most of Friday deleting stuff out of my windows project and/or starting from scratch when the data base was changed. What is the cleanest way to get the data base and data set changes in place? The current changes(which I have not applied yet) effect the file that I am maintaining in my windows project. Right now, we manually delete the data set project from our local PC, then copy the new one down from it's permanet location on the server.

I have this code inside am event in a combobox. Because I don't know the placement off the textbox before I have run the code in the combobox:
Dim txttotal As TextBox
txttotal = New TextBox
txttotal.Name = "txttotal"
txttotal.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(x4, y)
txttotal.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(100, 15)
txttotal.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Right
Me.TabPage3.Controls.Add(txttotal)
I can see the textbox thats works fine. But in another event I will give txttotal a value
But get the error txttotal not declared.

We take as example Microsoft Windows Excel (doesn't matter which version). You know we can select cells in excel but I don't need cells to be selected. I want a location in a color (red) when I select with my mouse. (not when I click or do something else; it's like selecting on desktop in windows). So like I said it has to color in red the region I select on the picture (doesn't matter which picture, I was actually going to use a map of a city as background) set as background in a PictureBox or something else if it's better.
