Hi.
Can anyone help me with the problem I have.  I need to write a program that will monitor user activity: file open, deleted, renamed, on the server. But most important I need to know WHO actually did it (user name).
I was able to write code (windows service), using FileSystemWatcher, that can monitor directories on my computer and even was able to parse it by extensions.
The problem is I cannot get user name who changed, deleted, created files. As soon as I install my windows service it returns SYSTEM as user name for me. 
I looked for other programs but they can't give me user name as well. Like
http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Filemon.html[^]
Did anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you,

About the only other place to try to get this information would the Network Redirector. But I don't think you'll be able to match it up to any actual file operation in the File System. You can see who has what files open, but not what those users are doing to them using the Win32 API NetFileEnum.

Thanks Dave.
Do you have any references (link or article) I can read?
I'm not sure what should I do. I thought file system suppose to have last modified information somewhere (who opened file last).
Should I still use FileStreamWatcher with combination of Win32 API (NetFileEnum)?
Thanks,

It doesn't. It tracks the last owner of the file, which is not necessarily the last person to touch it. It also tracks the last Modified time, last Accessed time, and Created time, but that's about it.
You can try FileSYstemWatcher and the NetFileEnum, but keeping the two in synch would probably be very difficult. For instance, two people have the same file open, but only one writes to it. Which one??? There's no way to tell...

Thanks for your help Dave. I think I will use FileSystemWatcher with Event Log entries (parse Event Log) like this I can tell at lest who access it and match it against FileSystemWatcher (create, delete, modify). I will write 2 services (I think it would be better if I keep these separate) to monitor dirctory and Event Log.
Thank you again.

Hi
I want to create a report in crystal reports (the one that comes with VS 2003) that reads its data from our SQL2000 server. The problem I have, is that it keeps on poping up the database login screen every time I try to run the report and then I have to enter the password. How do I remove the database login popup?
Some extra information:
1. I have created a user in SQL Server 2000 with a password and the correct access rights to the tables that I want to read from.
2. In Crystal reports I created a connection with OLE DB (ADO) and entered the server, user ID, password and default database. Integrated security is not selected.
Anyone have an idea what the problem might be?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm developing a vb.net 2005 application with an Access database. I create a setup and install it on a client machine. The first time I run the application it takes about 20 seconds to load. If I close it down and run it again straight away it takes about 3-4 seconds to load. If I don't load it for about an hour or restart the machine it again takes 20 seconds to load.
I then put in a few thousand records and the times are about the same so I don't think it has to do with the database.
The machines I've tried it on are about 3 years old. Is it something I have to live with or is there something I can do.
In AdvancedCompile Options I have Enable Optimizations turned on. Should I have Configuration Manager set to Release instead of Debug everytime I create a setup or does VS 2005 automatically do it?
Any help would be much appreciated,

Well, the slow startup time first time is because of what is called a "Cold Startup". So, if you are running 2 or 3 .NET applications at the same time, the 20+secs delay will be only for the first app. This is because the OS loads the .NET Libarrys and JITter into Memory the first time a .NET app is loaded.
Probably, this problem will be solved in Vista, since probably the .NET Framework will be preloaded on startup....

Thanks for that Yuvi,
I tried a small hello world app. Re-started the machine and it took about 10 seconds to load, so you are correct with your Cold Startup theory.
Thanks for clearing that up for me.

hi
I want to have a variabel member in a class in vb6 to be SHARED between all instances of the class. I used Public Shared Myvar as Integer but VB6 automatically changed it to Public Myval as Integer
This is the case for Private Shared... and I could not also use Shared alone to declare the variable.
What can I do to have shared Variables??

IIRC, there's no such thing in VB6 because VB6 doesn't support true OOP. About the only approximation is to delcare a public variable in a module, but the variable will be exposed to everything, not just every instance of a class.

"Shared" is a new keyword introduced in VB.NET.
Try using "Static" instead. VB6 classes have serious limitations, so cross your fingers.
|

Yes, I know the usage of Shared in VB.NET, but as far as this keyword existed in QBasic (long time ago!) I thought it might be used in vb6 (which was not very wrong, because vb6 IDE recognized it and removed it...)
But if it is the case that Dave mentioned, and I cannot expect such behavior from vb6, I guess I should do the Public Member in a module method...
Thanks anyway....

My mistake then.
Wow, it's been over 10 years since I've used QuickBasic. I can barely remember it now.

I just tried placing a Static variable inside of a VB6 class method. That way we can have it return a static object reference to a variable container. Unfortunately, it's not static between object instances.
Bummer! It looks like you have to use a Module.

Yes you can. If you are using .NET 2.0, you can use the inbuilt WebBrowser Control. If you're using .NET 1.1 or .NET 1.0, you can use the WebbrowserEx Control.
