Won't work over FTP.

You can only use an Access database if you have a server component, like a web service, interacting with the database for your application, or your application must be able to get to the .MDB file through a file share, UNC path, or other mapped drive.

Happy New Year!!!!

I wanted to know how to make my web based ASP.Net application an intranet application.I know i can use authentication/authorization to do it.But I donot want a login page or something along those lines.I just donot want any one who's not a member of the intranet to view the site.I also want to know how i can accomplish the same thing in ASP.Would appreciate if someone can help me out in this.

Thanks,
Aanchal.

Do you even understand the definition of an Intranet? It doesn't sound like it.

An intranet is just a private network, internal to a company or other entity. A website that is visible only inside the company running it is running on an Intranet. So an employee in the company just opens a web browser and types its internal, company address to get to it.

So, if your site isn't visible to anyone on the Internet, but is visible to people inside the company, your done. There is no special coding to "convert" your app to an "intranet".

Intranet[^] on Wikipedia

tcplistener (VB.NET)

hey all, im attempting to make my pocketpc into a remote control for my desktop pc through the network.

what i want to do is have a windows service that listens for connections through a tcplistener and recieves commands then executes some code according to what the command is. i would like the server to stay connected to the client the whole time so that it can recieve more than one command.

the problem is that i really don't know enough about tcplistener or the way that sockets works in vb.net to be able to do this.

why can't it be as easy as winsock was in visual basic 6!!

could someone please enlighten me on this matter and possibly post some source code so that i have something to go by?

my email is curseddagger@hotmail.com if you want to talk to me on msn about it.

thank you in advance

Regards
James

Perhaps Winsock.NET[^] might do you some good. If not, Google for "VB.NET sockets tutorial".

i didn't know that there was a winsock in .NET, thankyou.

i have spent many hours trying to find a descent tutorial for .net sockets and cannot come up with one.

i really would like to learn how to use sockets so if you know of a good tutorial, please point me to it Big Grin | :-D

I haven't had the need to search for one. But since sockets is such a LARGE topic, there's not going to be any one tutorial that covers all applications for sockets, and possibly not yours.

I would suggest picking up a book on sockets, such as Network programming in .NET : C# & Visual Basic .NET[^]

How to get my network domain name?

5-Jan-06 5:53

No idea. I don't really do any Pocket PC development.
It's entirely possible that the library won't work with the .NET Compact Framework because the CF doesn't support the full set of classes, and doesn't support all the methods and properties of the classes it does support.

My company, has a network domain name for the LAN,
Just named "abc-asia".
How can I get this domain name in VB.NET?
I found no method in Environment object.
Please help, and Thanks.

Environment.UserDomainName isn't giving you what you want? If the logged on user is in the domain, it'll show...

...Unless the machine is not yet in the domain??? More specific details about your situation would help.

I agree with you, RageInTheMachine9532, but this system constant will not work with systems using Win98 or lower...

I am going to design a application for three offices,
Difference office has its own domain name,
For example, "abc-asia", "def-asia", "xyz-asia".
I means my login name would be "abc-asia\cylix2000".
I would like to get these three domain names.

Environment.UserDomainName return me cylix2000,

My office use Win2K/WinXP.

Thank you for help!

Why didn't you say this in the first place?

You can find some code to enumerate the domains from this[^] page, here on CP. About half way down the page, under the heading System.Net.IPAddress, there is code to enumerate the domains, but you'll have to pick it out of some extra code to enumerate all the machines in those domains too.
