Thank you guys , for your quick and accurate anwsers Smile | :)

Do any of u have idea about the structure of a database for a farm any link or guidance

Alrizq

table: animal
colums: ID, type, num_of_legs, color

table: crops
columns: ID, type

INSERT INTO animal (type, num_of_legs, color) VALUES ('cow', 4, 'brown')
INSERT INTO animal (type, num_of_legs, color) VALUES ('dog', 3, 'black')

INSERT INTO crop (type) VALUES ('corn')
INSERT INTO crop (type) VALUES ('wheat')

only two letters away from being an asset

It could be worse. He can get much more verbose, thus descriptive, writing in COBOL! Big Grin | :-D

depending where you are there may be strict regulatory requirements for data. Animals in the UK now have to be traceable. You need to may need to know parentanimals. Places the animal has moved to with dates. Animal passport Number etc.

Best bet is to talk to a farmer and see what they have to do on paper and try to replicate that. Don't try to replicate the whole mess of paperwork systems at once, concentrate on getting one working as well as possible and then add extra functionality later.

Is it possible to get the logged on users password or to use the users account to start an application?
We have two options: restart a windows service under the windows logon account or start an executable with the windows logon account.

If we start the application via the windows service it starts with the SYSTEM account and we don't want that.
Any ideas? Thanks...

No you can't retrieve the password.

You can change the account a service uses to logon with via the services management console.

Nope.

You have to supply the username AND PASSWORD in order to do this. The only way to get the users password is to ask for it and have them type it in. Then you can restart the service.

But, in the case of Windows XP, you can have multiple users logged in on the machine at any time. How is your service going to handle this situation? You really can't stop the service and change the account every time someone logs in.

If you have a process that needs to run under the users account, create your application as a normal console or Windows Forms .EXE and put a shortcut to it in the Startup folder. The app runs under the users security context when the user logs in.

Unfortunately it's not that easy, there is more to it then that.

we're searching in an entirely different direction now... Smile | :)

how can i add new button next to maximize or minimize buttons (on border of form)

hi
i am having problem when i am trying to write something on remote location using .net thread.
e.g. i have a central location letsay MachineName|MachineIP/SharedDrive.
and i am creating a thread on click of a button which i need to write some information on that location.

i have also added a node <identity impersonate="true" username="Domain\User" password="*******"> in web.config of my application.

and i have also given credential in <machine.config>--<processmodel enable="true" username="SameInWeb.Config" password="SameInWeb.Config">

but it is giving the following exception:
The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security. Please ensure that you can contact the server that authenticated you.

below is my method which i am calling on a separate thread.
private void WriteSomeThingToRemoteLocation ()

{
FileStream fileStream = null;
BinaryFormatter binaryFormatter = null;
System.Object systemObject = null;
System.Object obj = new object();
lock ( obj )
{
string _contractLocaterKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace( "-", "" );

string fullPath = @"\\MyMachineIP\SharedDrive" + "\\" + _contractLocaterKey + ".dat";
try
{
fileStream = new FileStream( fullPath, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write );
binaryFormatter = new BinaryFormatter();

systemObject = new object();
systemObject = "Hello this is testing1";
binaryFormatter.Serialize( fileStream, systemObject );

systemObject = new object();
systemObject = "Hello this is testing2";
binaryFormatter.Serialize( fileStream, systemObject );
}
// catch(Exception ex)
// {
// avoided for getting noticed what happened;
// }
finally
{
if ( fileStream != null )
{
fileStream.Close();
fileStream = null;
}
binaryFormatter = null;
systemObject = null;
}
}
}

please help in this matter as i am stucking in the problem from more than 3 days.

this thing is happening OK :
1. if i call this method directly on another method.
2. if i call this method in a console application .
3. if i call this method on a thread in a console application.

any help would be highly appreciated.

thanks

I have a VB 6 code with me. The code is playing with excel. It generates worksheets and adds templates to them, sets cell values, etc. I want to rewrite the entire code into C#.Net. For that I have used Microsoft Excel 11.0 COM reference. (This is same in VB6). The problem is that I cannot find code in C#.Net equivalent to VB6 counterpart. Examples are given below:
oBook.Worksheets("General")
or this
oSheet.Rows(2).Copy oSheet.Rows(i)
There are many examples like this.
Either I don't know how to write this in .Net or there is no equivalent.

Does anybody know, where I can learn how to use Excel in .Net 2003 in good amount of depth so that I can convert any code in VB6 to .Net 2003?

Regards
Anil
