Problem while Writing to Remote Location in a .netThread - C# Discussion Boards

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 | :)

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?

Anil

hi anil

look at this example

Joe,

Thanks! That was a nice article. That solved my Worksheet("abc") problem.

In any web application in C# how we can view/edit/delete some data in the FormView control without using any databaseobject control like sqldatasource,objectdatasource .We want to connect the FormView control with sql databse by writing code in codebehind(like using DataSet).

Simple question. Smile | :)

Is there a command to copy a directory in a different path without doing this manually on files and sub-directory contained there?
I've not found any copy command on System::IO::Directory ... it's strange! Confused | :confused:

Thank you

Russell

If you wanna move the directory, use Directory.Move
Rose | [Rose]

No, .... sorry...I want to copy it Cry | :((

Russell

Do you want to copy subfolders too?

my articles

yes...like MS-DOS command xcopy does.
Of course, I can use directly that command, ... but I'm trying to understand if there is an implemented function that does this copy that I still not know.
Thank you

Russell

As fas as I know there is not such built-in function but if you search codeproject for xcopy you will find what you need.

my articles

To my knowledge, I feel you will need to iterate and copy each file. D'Oh! | :doh:

You have to write you own recursive procedure...

Shy.

Hello,

I think you are looking fot this[^]

All the best,

Martin

Another idea for you is to do a simple hack - use the Process class and start a process using the xcopy command like you mentioned in some of your other posts.

I actually have done this in a build app I wrote.

I've also used the process class for doing FTP and LPR (using the built-in Windows commands, since there are no easy classes in the framework for this).

Hi
I have already wrote about my problem. I have a string that comes from console app

after it i convert it with this procedure

static private string EncodeMessageForConsoleOutput(string Message)
{
//gag
if (MemoLog == null)
return Message;

if (EncodingFrom.CodePage == EncodingTo.CodePage)
return Message;

Decoder decoder = Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder();
byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Message);
char[] chars = new char[bytes.Length * 5];//*2

int bytesUsed, charsUsed;
bool completed;

decoder.Convert(bytes, 0, bytes.Length,
chars, 0, chars.Length, true,
out bytesUsed, out charsUsed, out completed);

string ResultString = new string(chars, 0, charsUsed);

return ResultString;
}

but it does not work

Could you help me
