AD - Active Directory
OU - Organizational Unit
ADUC - Active Directory Users and Computers
I have searched for ways to query active directory (ad) but is it somewhat confusing. Within the Active Directory there are "organizational Units" They work somewhat like file folders in which the users and computer accounts are stored.
How you are storing the users. I would like for the program to just store the "usernames" in the combo box. I do not care if they are all lost when the program is closed. Then I would like to use the "username" selected from the combo box to be stored as a variable to use when the "apply" button is pressed.
How you plan to store whether a user is "enabled" or "disabled" - I would like to read that form Active Directory, if possible and then reflect the status on the radio buttons "checked" field. I was able to code to turn off one if the other is on 
In the end, when the "apply" button is pressed, i would like the user selected in the combobox to have the status applied based on the status of the radio button.
Thanks for your help.

Hi - how would one go about exporting a datagridview to MS Word? I have numerous (dynamically created) dgvs, and they need to get on a Word document (for reporting purposes) - including cell colors and row/column headers.
can't find anything like this (basically a cut and paste operation) 
Any guidance would be sincerely appreciated - thank you in advance.
Cheers,
- James

[Thank you, Joshua -->

Hello, James!
I was able to find some code to do precisely that here on codeproject. The code to do so is as follows:
Response.Clear();
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.doc");
Response.Charset = "";
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.word";
System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite = new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
myDataGrid.RenderControl(htmlWrite);
Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString());
Response.End();
The URL actually has code for exporting to Excel, Word and Text files and can be reached via the following link:
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/DAtaGridExportToExcel.asp[^]
/]
May I ask for a little more help though (d'oh!  ). My dgvs are on a windows form (VS.2005) - and I'm not quite sure if these objects are viable in this environment (i.e. - the HttpTextWriter is not found in System.Web)
so, looking away from the syntax of this, functionally what is happening is that each line of data from my datagridview is being sent to the writer - which then inserts it into the word doc, correct? If so, this shouldn't include formatting, colors, etc. - correct?
looks like i should be able to do this by pushing it line by line into excel and formatting there - and then automating a cut and paste operation into word - but that's a little excessive! 
ideas? (thanks again for the help)

When is it appropriate to use one over ther other when closing/cancelling a form? Advantages, disadvantages, memory leaks?

If Dispose is implemented, you should use Dispose after calling Close. But since not everyone follows the intended design, you should read about the implementation if you are using third party Classes

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I am trying to write a Terminal Server administration program and would be very grateful for some advise on how to display all the currently logged on users.
I would also like it to display the session type, ID, logon time, and the current state, of all the users in one ListView. A bit like the Terminal Server Manager by Microsoft. Help would be appreciated and I am using VB.NET Express Edition. Code would be helpful, Thanks.

This might sound a bit hard but any advice would be appreciated, even if its just a tiny bit of code. Thanks

Show the trouble code and someone might be able to help some. But don't expect anyone to do your homework assignment for you.

I have an MDI application. The parent window has a MenuStrip (MS1) with the common commands, and the child window has a menu strip (MS2) with some specific commands.
When the child window is maximized, the commands from MS2 are correctly merged into MS1. However, the menu strip itself still gets rendered across the top of the child form, so it looks as though there is one menu strip above the other. Basically, all the menus get moved from the MS2 into MS2, but MS2 still renders, just as an empty Menu Strip.
How can I prevent this behavior?
I would prefer if the menu strips merged as they do now, but when merged, the child forms menu strip was not drawn.

I created a table with 4 column. ProductID is one of them but I don't want to show this column. I set the DataSource of a DataGrid to this TABLE. However, vb.net doesn't like it when I use
mygrid.Columns("ProductID").Visible
Is there a way to hide this column? Any comment would be much appreciated.

I used this set of FAQs to help me tinker with my datagrid, so it might help you out: http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WindowsForms/FAQ_c44c.aspx

Just replace the string with index of column..
YourGrid.Columns(0).Visible = False

Hey all,
Newbie question here that probably has a simple solution that I can't seem to find, but I'm new to programming and am still playing around. 
What I'm trying to do, is create a program that will allow someone to enter data into a couple textboxes. What I want to happen is, to have a button that allows the user to "save" his/her entered data in these textboxes so that when they launch the program again, these changes are displayed until they are changed again. Can anyone give me some sample code that would accomplish this?
Any help or links to appropriate articles would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Oh, forgot to mention that I'm using VB.Net 2003.

Hi, you can do this using the registry. Well thats what I did.
To save the settings to the registry you need this code
My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("name of your program")<br />
<br />
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue_("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\name of your program","textbox name", textbox name.Text)
To load the data back into the textbox you can use this.
textbox name.Text = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\program name", "textbox name", Nothing)
You need to put this code in a button or a timer and something like that.
Good luck

Just wanted to thank you again for the help. I got it to work properly, although using a slightly 'different' wording, i suppose. Your code was giving me some errors, so I looked for a couple of different ways of doing the same thing and this one ended up working for me.
My code ended up looking like this:
<br />
Dim CompSN_Reg As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey<br />
<br />
CompSN_Reg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("ACQ01")<br />
CompSN_Reg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("ACQ01", True)<br />
CompSN_Reg = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey("ACQ01\\CompSN")<br />
CompSN_Reg.SetValue(txt_ACQ01_Comp_SN.Text, txt_ACQ01_Comp_SN.Text)<br />
Same idea in theory... but so fickle. Ahhh, I'm constantly reminded why I've always hated programming.
Anyways, Thanks!

It might be because I use VB.NET 2005

Beside using the registry, you can use My.Settings to store your setting.
You have to create your setting in Design Time
You can set this in Project Properties and point to Settings Tab.
The settings will be save into XML format in your application path
here's the code to change and save the settings
----------------------------------------
My.Settings.UserName = "BrazenSix"
My.Settings.Subject = "About what??"
My.Settings.Save()
to retrieve settings value
----------------------------------------
Dim UName, USubject As String
UName = My.Settings.UserName
USubject = My.Settings.Subject

I cant find any sample code for Remote Desktop in Visual Studio 2005. Does anyone have some sample code to connect to a terminal server or know where I can find some? I have played around with the "Microsoft RDP Client Control", but have not been able to get it work correctly. I would like to be able to connect, change the screen size, etc.
|

|
|

I would like to know how to do this as well.

Have you typed in the IP address or host name in the server box in properties
You need to make the sure that the computer you are connecting to will accept RDP connections and the username you are going to use must have a password and be an administrator or have a password and be in the remote desktop group.

I want to create a program that will prompt a user for a windows user name and password that authenticates against active directory. Once authenticated I want them to only be able to access particular forms based on their group permissions in active directory. For instance once logged in if they are in the Telnet group they can access the telnet portion of the program if not then they get a generic error telling them to contact their system administrator. They way I see it working is that when they log in it also checks to see what groups they are in and stores it as a variable. Each form that they then access checks that variable and if that group is not listed then the user will not have access to that portion of the program.
Thanks for any and all help.

If you're using VB.NET or VB2005. Please spend your time to look at MSDN Help:
'My.'
From 'My' you can get a lot of information about security, Devices, etc..
