Hello All,

Can some one please tell me how to access the settings in gpedit.msc using c#.Net?

I need to set/reset various options from the gpedit.msc.

Thanks in advance.

Group Policy is just an editor for registry settings. GPEdit doesn't expose any kind of interface you can use in your own app. You just have to write code to manipulate the same registry settings gpedit does.

There isn't one that covers everything. If there were, it would be about the size of a set of encyclopedia.

But, you can start by picking up the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit. It's got a good description of a bunch of registry entries, including policies. There's a partial on-line version here[^].

Thanks again.

Help out on public boards a LOT. Demonstrate you actually know what you're doing. Write good articles. A good Blog would help. Just be very helpful in the community and wait. You cannot apply to become an MVP. Someone has to notice you, tell Microsoft, and then they'll silently watch what you're doing. If they like what they see, they'll contact you.

Surprisingly, most products don't have documentation you can download. It all depends on what products and what type of documentation you're looking for. Then you have to search for it. There is no central repository of documentation for everything Microsoft has.

Accessing ActiveX Ambient Properties from C#

I hope this is the correct forum for this issue.

Please could someone point me in the right direction. I've written an ActiveX control in C# and it's working well except for one "small" problem. I'm trying to access the ambient properties of the ActiveX container and am drawing blank.

I'm trying to replicate the following VB 6.0 functionality in C#:

Ambient Properties:

ActiveXAmbientMode = UserControl.Ambient.UserMode

Ambient Properties changed event:

Private Sub UserControl_AmbientChanged(PropertyName As String)
    If PropertyName = "UserMode" Then
        ' Do Stuff Here
    End If   
End Sub

From what I can find out so far is that this "might" have something do to with implimenting the IOLEControl COM interface? But I can find NO examples of this ever being done? Anyone ever managed to get this working because I can't find any useful info on this anywhere?

BUMP for any feedback? Does anyone know if this is even possible?

This has nothing to do with UserControl.Site.DesignMode, because that doesn't get exposed to COM. So will always return FALSE when the ActiveX is used in an application.

I'm looking for the COM interface implimentation of how a VB 6.0 ActiveX interacts with it's container....

The standard document is not free[^] but there are lots of hits when googling for DMX512. This application note[^] seems to contain a lot of useful information.

Dunno if this is the sole reason, but your column tags don't exactly match up...

<Col2>...</col2>
<Col3>...</col3>

instead col2 and col3 should be capitalized, Col2 and Col3, to match

Use xml file like then you will able to read more than one table in dataset by ds.ReadXml(xmlfile) ;Just test it.

Hello,

I've created a WebClient which downloads the index.html file from my webserver and it has been working for the past 3 weeks, but I've had to rewrite my code due to a virus making me format my computer.

Here's my code:

WebClient DownloadData = new WebClient();
DownloadData.DownloadFile("myURL", "LocalDestinationPath");

I am using the exact same code as I used before. I don't understand why it doesn't work this time. I don't get any error messages, or debugging errors, it just doesn't work. I've tried

DownloadFile

DownloadData

DownloadStream

and none of them work :'( Can anybody please help shed some light on the matter? Thanks in advance. Smile | :)

Regards,
Jay.

Thanks for the reply sebastion, I know it isn't working because the index.html file is not being downloaded into the destination path that I specified. Which is:
C:\index.html
