Your user has to set that up. If you could make your app run under admin, in code, then the whole login system would be worthless.
Instead, store your files in the application data folder for the current logged in user, all users have access to write there.

You might find it easier to work around this problem. Preferably just give the users rights to write to the images folder (if thats safe). Or have a web service on the server that runs under an account that has the permission to write there - and write your application to upload to the web service. (Theres a lot of potential security vulnerabilities here if you aren't careful).
If those are both out the question then you might have to go for a service on the local machine running as an elevated account, that your application talks to over remoting, and let the server actually perform the upload.

Will try that out. but if any starter guide to webserivces available please provide me with that.

The MSDN is pretty helpful for this one, and Visual Studio makes it pretty easy. There's a few decent guides on MSDN.

What account does it use, with windows application built on vb.net on framework 1.1, when we fetch an image in to picturebox?

Most POP3 mail clients (assuming POP3 is the protocol your using?) keep a log of the items that have been downloaded (read) from the server locally, to my knowledge there is no per article read information kept by the server. See this RFC article for the ins and outs of the POP3 protocol.

Rahul,
Please answer the following questions to allow me to help you further:
1. Which protocol are you using to connect to the server? (POP3 / IMAP / Exchange / etc)
2. How are you connecting from your .NET code to the server? Are you using a plugin like Jscapes E-Mail Factory or have you developed your own code to connect to the server?
I cannot provide you with sample code or give direction on how to log message IDs to file unless you give me more info to work with.
To give you a pointer if you are using POP3, all messages on the server have a unique message ID which you will need to use to retrieve or delete a message from the server. I suggest you keep a local list of the message IDs that your app has downloaded. You can then reference that file to see whether the ID is in the list, therefore determining whether the e-mail has been downloaded (read). A simple way of keeping the IDs to start with would be in a text file.

i am using POP3 protocol to connect to server.
i have developed my own code to connect to server.
the code i have used is as follow.
Public Function UserInfo(ByVal uname As String, ByVal emailid As String, ByVal pwd As String, ByVal servername As String) As String<br />
CRLF = "\r\n"<br />
Dim cr As Cursor = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current<br />
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor<br />
Server = New TcpClient(servername, 110)<br />
Try<br />
NetStrm = Server.GetStream<br />
RdStrm = New StreamReader(Server.GetStream())<br />
'Status.Items.Add(RdStrm.ReadLine())<br />
msg = RdStrm.ReadLine()<br />
<br />
Data = "USER " + emailid + CRLF<br />
szData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data.ToCharArray())<br />
NetStrm.Write(szData, 0, szData.Length)<br />
'Status.Items.Add(RdStrm.ReadLine())<br />
<br />
Data = "PASS " + pwd + CRLF<br />
szData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data.ToCharArray())<br />
NetStrm.Write(szData, 0, szData.Length)<br />
' Status.Items.Add(RdStrm.ReadLine())<br />
<br />
Data = "STAT" + CRLF<br />
szData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data.ToCharArray())<br />
NetStrm.Write(szData, 0, szData.Length)<br />
' Status.Items.Add(RdStrm.ReadLine())<br />
Dim st As String = RdStrm.ReadLine<br />
Cursor.Current = cr<br />
<br />
'''''''''''''Retriving mails'''''''''''<br />
'Recievemail()<br />
<br />
Dim szTemp As String<br />
'Dim str1 As String = String.Empty<br />
<br />
Dim i As String = "54"<br />
Dim abc As New TextBox<br />
'Dim cr As Cursor = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current<br />
cr = Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current<br />
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor<br />
Try<br />
Data = "RETR " + i + CRLF<br />
szData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Data.ToCharArray())<br />
NetStrm.Write(szData, 0, szData.Length)<br />
<br />
szTemp = RdStrm.ReadLine()<br />
<br />
If (szTemp(0) <> "-") Then<br />
While szTemp <> "."<br />
str += szTemp + CRLF<br />
'abc.Text += szTemp + CRLF<br />
szTemp = RdStrm.ReadLine()<br />
<br />
End While<br />
Else<br />
'Status.Items.Add(szTemp)<br />
Cursor.Current = cr<br />
<br />
End If<br />
Catch err As Exception<br />
'Status.Items.Add("Error: " + err.ToString())<br />
Console.Write(err.Message)<br />
End Try<br />
<br />
'''''code end here''''<br />
Catch err As InvalidOperationException<br />
Console.Write(err.Message)<br />
End Try<br />
Return str<br />
<br />
End Function<br />
I am passing this four values to function on page load( i.e. my email servername and password.)Now currently i am retrieving email no 53( i put email no as hard coded because i dont know how to retrieve unread mail.)
Thanks.

Hi Rahul,
I have made an example by modifing the code you posted to log message numbers to a text file. I took out some of your code so you will need to re-intergate it. This code is not perfect (i.e. you will need to add some additional error handling and a few other bits). The server I tested this with is a CPOP UNIX server, so you may need to adapt it to read the server responses differently for other POP3 servers.
UPDATE: If you need it I have a working VB project.
Let me know how you get on.

Don't repost the same question multiple times in the same day. You didn't give anyone any kind of chance to answer your question the first time, then you reposted it 4 hours later. It's considered rude to spam the forums.

No i didn't post the same question again and again.
Please read the first question carefully and then told abt that.
In first question i am asking how to retrieve mails from server
and now am able to retrieve mail but i am having problem how
to get unread mails.
Thanks.

hi frnds..
i want to delete a row in datagrid when i select a row and press delete button,,, is there any event for that or how can i do this..
plse help me quick..
cheers..

Dear SamRST,
If you have added a delete column then can get the e on datagrid itemcommand event and the e.item.itemindex will give you the index and you can get the value of that row by this index and can delete that, or use select column and get the selected index changed event of that grid to do so.

I have just used the System.Windows.Forms.Application.EnableVisualStyles() method to enable the visual styles on an application but when I do it cuts the text off like there's too much padding around the text on the buttons.
Any help?
|
|
|
|
|
You're choices are obvious, but limited. Either make the buttons a bit bigger, or make the font you're using for the button text a bit smaller.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, it's not something that seems at all normal. Take a look...
PIC!
It's just wierd...
|
|
|
|
|
Since the text that is showing is missing the right side characters, but is still perfectly centered, it looks like the string being sent to the button is actually what's being displayed. In other words, it appears that the contents of the Text property is actually "Canc", not "Cancel".
|
|
|
|
|
That would appear to be the case but i would really like to know why it would only be passing that much to the form and why it hasn't happend to one of the other buttons...
This happens whether i use a dot manifest file or whether i use the activate visual styles method.
Has anyone else run into this problem, or could it just be my version of visual studio?
Cheers
Russ

Are you using .NET 1.1 (VS.NET 2003)???
If so, put this immediately after the EnableVisualStyles line:
Application.DoEvents()

Thanks, OK:
I tried adding the Apllication.DoEvents() line after it but there's no change.
Is this where I'm supposed to be putting these lines?
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Application.EnableVisualStyles()
Application.DoEvents()
'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
Thanks again,
Russell
