I am writing an application that searches for a particular file in the C:Documents and Settingsuser accountsApplication Data folder. Now i am trying to make this application generic. I can make this application search in a particular users application data folder. But what i am tryin to do is take the user name from a certain file or place where windows xp stores it. Then make it search for that user. Is there a particular way to do it.

Is there any way to get common control names like Save, Copy or Undo Redo in the user's windows language? (I saw this in some programs which weren't made for my windows language. Also the Yes No Massage Boxes will change...)
I 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:
I've been looking through some of my predecessors code and in all of this data level classes, he's defined all his stored procedure names as constants at the top of the classif there's really any benefit of doing this, other than to have all the procedure names at the top of the class?
how to call a stored function in oracle through vb.net.From vb.net should i able to pass the values to arguments of that function without knowing the parameter names?Example: I have a function,Create or Repalce Function Func_Name(param1 Varchar2,param2 varchar2)
Inorder to call this function through vb.net, we need to give
parameterargs.paramtername="param1"
Is there anyway so that i cannot use the parameter name and call the function
I'm currently writing a small app that takes data provided by an SQL stored procedure and makes it available for easy export for non-tech savvy users. I'm trying to make this as generic as possible, in that you should be able to plug in just about any SP and follow my template to have an export utility. I'd like to add a way to get the column names before running the SP from the SP itself. I had assumed you could just run the SP with impossible values so nothing is returned, then get the columns from the resulting VB.NET DataTable. However, if there is no data returned, the column names aren't returned either. How can I get the column names from the SP without having to hard-code them?
I am having some difficulty with an xPath expression. I am using an XML document to store queries / stored procedure names in an ASP application. I use a utility function to load the xmldocument (if it isn't previously loaded) and I am attempting to select the node set from the document that matches an Id element. [code] the node variable only returns the first element. I have verified the that the qry string that is used to SelectSingleNode IS the correct Id value (i.e. USER002) - however the node is getting loaded with the USER001 element. It is obviously the xPath expression that is messed up. What do I need to tweak on the xPath expression so that I can return the correct <Id> element and corresponding child <Sql> element.
I'm developing a program which would be the only program user will use. What i mean by this is once the windows is up, my program will run and blocks users from accessing any other program installed or comes with Windows such as internet explorer, email client, games, etc.. unless user puts password for getting out of my program.
BTW, the OS will be Windows XP.What i want to accomplish by having this is like below:
1. No one would be able to use internet (= no virus)
2. No one would be able to change system time (= no record corruption)
3. No one would be able to install any program (= less system maintenance)
My program is Kind of interactive Kiosk program only certain user can access windows and other programs.Also when it comes to system maintenance, I will remotely access the computer using pcAnywhere or teamviewer like remote access tool.So after exiting the program, i should be able to use entire system w/o any restriction.
I have an mvc intranet application using windows authentication. It currently has one controller with three actions.
The first action (index) should be available to everyone, this is no problem. The second and the third actions should only be available to users in a specific DOMAIN. However the tag only gives me 2 options: Roles or Users. I tried using Users and setting it to 'DOMAIN*' and 'DOMAIN?' but that doesn't work.
My company uses ActiveDirectory, and naturally the IT department wants to maintain control over it and not give control to other users. I'm developing an ASP.NET app (for internal use only) using an SQL Server 2008 database.My question is, how can I BEST use the .NET namespaces and SQL Server to manage access to the app within the organization at the application (or possibly DB) level? I would like the user to be authorized based on their network username as provided by ActiveDirectory.On a side note, I would also like to access their AD contact information.
From my understanding I can use the ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider class or Domain Services in the System.DirectoryServices namespace. There's also LDAP which apparently is another possibility. I'm having a hard time making sense of it all, and much less which is the best option and how to implement it. Can anyone provide me with some direction and possibly some simple sample code?
i have a little Application where i read the names of Services from the Registry.In Windows XP no Problem at all but in Windows 7 they are not permanently in the Registry.They can be found in HKEY_USERS.DEFAULTSoftwareClassesLocal SettingsMuiCacheA246693477 but not permanently since its a cache it works after reboot but after a few hours these get deleted and i have no readable Names anymore only those Values like
@%SystemRoot%system32audiosrv.dll,-204
So the Problem is i need a way to get Service Names no mattter how long the PC is running ^^.Is there another way to get the clear Service Names permanently so i dont have to reboot after a few hours?
Do users of windows applications have to have the database application installed if your program uses databases to store information? For example, when making VB2008 programs, if I use the visual studio express database (.sdf), or maybe a MSAccess database, to store information within my visual basic program...when I deploy the application to the users, can they run the program okay even if they don't have MSAccess installed on their computer?Also, do I need to have MSAccess installed in order to write programs that use MSAccess databases?
I am wondering if it is possible to read in the encrypted value of a Windows users password so I can preload a textbox with the value? I have a checkbox on my .NET form -> Use Workstation Logon. When the user checks this box, the username and password fields are populated respectively.
Users can easily rename special folders like Computer, Network etc. to whatever they like. Also if the computer is using a different locale, the name of those folders will also be different.I want to get the current names of all special folders like Computer, Recycle Bin, Network etc. in my app. Is there a way to do this? A specific API? A registry value?For eg, user renames My Computer to Super Computer. My app should show that My Computer's name is Super Computer.
I have an application which displays thumbnails of files in a folder. I want to add the feature where the users can right click on a file and get that windows context menu. You know the one. It allows you to choose an application from a list to open the file with.
I seem to remember asking this ages ago but I can't find the thread.
I am making a login form for my A2 computing work and have got that to work but i did do some of the work and now i want to know how i can add extra users and passwords using simply textbox on another windows form [Code]
I have a Visual Basic .Net form (launches after the splash screen tests database connectivity) and it is not focusing above other existing windows on launch. How do I get it to focus above all existing windows and Windows Explorer windows?
If a stored procedure execution takes 10 minutes does it mean that windows app will wait till the stored procedure finishes or will it continure while the stored procedure is running on the server?

I need to populated a ComboBox and a CheckedListBox with a list of the Windows Accounts on the host computer. I also need to the user to be able to apply settings to the users individually. Thirdly, I need to find a way to add a startup registry key in the CURRENT_USER for a different user than the "Current User" (For example: User1 is an Administrator. User2 is a Limited Account [can't modify registry]. User1 needs to add Registry key to User2's "CURRENT_USER". This is a parental control application so the Admin accounts need to be able to access the registry from all users without affecting all users at once. I do not have any code to paste because I still have not the foggiest idea of where to start. I think it probably has something to do with an array (I have no experience with arrays whatsoever) but I am stumped from there. I'm a new, self-taught programmer so I speak idiot at times,
Summary of Questions 1) How do I retrieve a list of Windows Users? 2) How do I populate the objects above with such a list? 3) How do I interact with the items on that list (specific user accounts)? 4) How do I modify another user's CURRENT_USER Registry key?
I know that it's possible to Call a stored procedure from a Windows Application made in VS 2008. But, is it also possible to Create one? If so, isn't it possible for someone to create a SP that will delete all the data in a DB,when executed? Is there a real danger that someone could use an application that communicates with a DB to create such a procedure?
I'm killing myself and dehydrating trying to get this array to sort.I have an array containing directories generated by;Dim Folders() As String = Directory.GetDirectories(RootPath)
I need them to be sorted so they appear like in windows explorer in win7 / vista. -- numerically and alphabetically by folder names.The folder names contain both letters and numbers, sometimes letters only or numbers only.

This performs an update in the SQL Database via a stored procedure. When I add '; insert into codeinjection(test) values ('CodeInjected!'); select ' in the last textbox (TBC_phone.Text) the value 'codeinjdected' is inserted into the table codeinjection as well. How can I avoid this?
