If the StreamWriter is a local variable which never escapes the current method, wrap it in a Using ... End Using[^] block. This will ensure that the Dispose method is always called, even if your code throws an exception.

Using stream As Stream = File.OpenWrite("path\to\your\file.txt")
   Using sw As New StreamWriter(stream)
      ...
      ' NB: No need to call Flush or Close here.
   End Using
End Using

That's possible.

CodeProject[^]. It's in C#, but the same applies to VB. If you're having trouble translating it to VB, post again here Smile | :)

No, being friendly; otherwise I'd simply stated that you can link to the C# code from VB without translating. There's a joke-icon that is used to mark non-serious posts.

I don't supply scripts, only free advice.

If you'll need help in translating it to VB, then I'm available. If you need someone to write you a script, then you'll have to wait for a good Samaritan.

No problem.

One can exchange ideas here, and consult each other. If you're looking to hire a coder, you'd want a site like http://www.rent-acoder.com/[^].

VB.NET is a friendly language. Take the source-files from the C#-project, throw them trough a converter like this one[^] and you'll have VB.NET code. If you don't yet have an IDE installed to write code, I'd recommend Visual Studio Express[^].

Set the Visible property to False to hide a control, so the one underneath gets revealed.

Use the best guess

The property to use is Opacity. See e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fyby5ek5%28v=vs.80%29.aspx[^]

Opacity only works at the Form level, not controls.

Open yourformfile.designer.vb and rearrange the initializing code, so that things that need to be displayed at the back come (in the code) before the things that need to be displayed further in front.

P.S. I made a lot of assumptions.

Hi all.

For some reason, whenever I open a project in vb.Net 2010, and open a document, it scrolls uncontrollably to the bottom of the page. I can't get it to stop.

What's up.

LDAP queries not returning the same data

David Mujica10-Jun-13 9:59

David Mujica

10-Jun-13 9:59

I have a utility which loops through our LDAP fetching all of the CN values out to a .csv file, I am validating this against an Excel document which contains our phone number list. The problem is that for some people, I do not find a LDAP entry.

I have another utility which takes as input the Username of someone and dumps out all of the attributes found in our LDAP and when I use this utility to find a person which is not listed on the main dump file, I do find him. Confused | :confused:

I wrote both utilities, so the fetching logic is very similar.

The looping utility uses:

Dim de As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=us,DC=myCompany,DC=com")

ds.Filter = "(&(objectCategory=person))"

While the single user verifier uses:

Dim de As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=us,DC=myCompany,DC=com")

ds.Filter = String.Format("(SAMAccountName={0})", Me.tboxUserName.Text)

I have looked at the LDAP properties of 2 users; UserA is the guy I don't have in my .csv file and UserB who is listed in the .csv file and nothing obviously jumps out at me being different.

Where should I be looking to resolve this issue? If I can find a user directly by his username, then he should be part of the .csv export file. Right?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

The obvious place to start is the objectCategory. If you modify your second example to:

ds.Filter = String.Format("(&(objectCategory=person)(SAMAccountName={0}))", Me.tboxUserName.Text)

can you still find the missing user?

Tried your suggestion and the answer is YES, I could find the user with that criteria.

I'm using the following code in my "Ldap Dump" routine:

For Each sr As SearchResult In ds.FindAll()

I thought I read somewhere about getting LDAP information in "pages". Am I OK by using the above logic to extract the user list?

This is really a head scratcher. Confused | :confused:

Sounds like a collection of "all persons".

David Mujica wrote:
(SAMAccountName={0})

Sounds like a more specific collection; is there a person that's not a user? A disabled user?

By combining the objectCategory=person and SAMAccountName={0} into one filter, I am capable of finding my user.

The problem seems to be that when I loop through the LDAP, I'm not getting all of the users.

Got it !

I added the following to my code and now the user in question is showing up in the "LDAP dump" file.

ds.PageSize = 2000
