How do I update my app.config file?
The following code works, but it doesn't save the xml file changes to the disk, when the app is started up again all old values are once again loaded.
My.Settings.Item("NewConnectionString1") = TryConnectionString
My.Settings.Save()
(PS. This is all done in runtime)

You have to set the scope of variable to 'User' not 'Application'. Once that is done, you can save your value.
To slightly modify the above, I would perform the following:
My.Settings.NewConnectionString = TryConnectionString

I have a number of rich text boxes that I want to disable the cursor for.
I make the boxes readonly but if I disable them they turn grey .
The background to this is that I need scrollable text boxes in which error messages will appear. So the user cannot update the data, however it just looks messy having a flashing cursor in a text box if the user clicks on the text when the text cannot be edited.
Any help appreciated
Guy

You can change the cursor in the appearance section in the property grid to type 'cursor'. I only have VS2005 so I dont know for sure if this is exposed in 2003.
Hope that helps.

Thanks,
In the end I have decided to allow the blinking cursor to remain as users may want to cut text from the error boxes.
I solved it by setting the TabStop property to false so that a cursor does not blink in the box until the user clicks on the box.
Cheers

Hi, for showing a list of line-oriented text messages, I prefer a ListBox,
since that one is really line-oriented, and much more efficient in handling
lots of lines. It does not show a cursor, and you can choose whether and how it
supports line selection.
If you need any fancy feature (available in RichTextBox but not in TextBox/ListBox)
you may choose to set the DrawMode to OwnerDraw.

Thanks Luc,
I may just give that a go - it sounds like a neater solution than the one I have used.

This depends on what provider you wish to use.
With the LDAP Provider, you perform the following:
Imports ActiveDS
Dim ObjOU As ActiveDs.IADsOU
Dim moNativeIADsObject As IADsUser
Dim mstrUsername as string = "NewUserName"
Dim mstrOUPath as string = "DC=MyDomain,DC=com"
Dim mstrPassword as string = "Asecret1"
'Connect to the Organisation Unit (OU) where the account is to be created using OrgUnit
ObjOU = GetObject("LDAP://" & mstrOUPath)
'Create the account
moNativeIADsObject = ObjOU.Create("User", "CN=" & mstrUsername)
moNativeIADsObject.Put("samAccountName", mstrUsername)
moNativeIADsObject.SetInfo()
' Ref: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/guide/sas_ads_zjvb.mspx?mfr=true
moNativeIADsObject.SetPassword(mstrPassword)
moNativeIADsObject.SetInfo()

Hi
I have used WinNt. It works fine but now I need to add the user via a Web service. I have a web method that attemts to create the user but acess is denied which I expect but I need to side this problem
Progress is a process , so value it

A Web Service runs under an account that doesn't have any rights to the domain to add users. Your web service code has to get the username and password of a domain administrator account so it can use those credentials so it can Impersonate the user adding the account to the domain.
Google for "web service impersonation" for all kinds of info, pitfalls, examples, ...

Is there a simple way to group a bunch of SQL update statements (in VB.Net) together in a transaction scope?
The way that I used, is giving me ENDLESS hassles and problems with MSDTC services and firewalls and and and and and and AND AND AND , it requires that I change various system settings including components services on ALL clients and the server and that I do registry edits etc etc. And STILL it fails on some PC's!
It's just not worth all that hassle!
I am not looking for a solution that involves calling a stored procedure because I'm working with Datasets and their built-in functionality in .Net.
I would appreciate any help from anyone with prior knowledge of such a solution!

i am having this error when i am about to delete a data row
inline with this is a message box saying:
object reference not set to an instance of an object. do you want to correct the value?
if i click yes, it will delete the row if no it will ignore the deletion
i've already checked all of my declarations and pretty sure that i've declared everything right. please help me about this. thanx!
|

Normally this error acurs when you are accessing a variable that hasn't been initialized yet
for instance
dim s as datatable
s.delete... ' this will give your error
s = new datatable...
The right way would be
dim s as datatable
s= new datatable...
s.delete...
the best way to check if this is the case is asinging a stander value to your variables and then try it again if you still get te error something else is going on

it has nothing to do with the declaration... ive just mentioned that i already checked the declaration. it has something to do with the datagrid, its properties and errors bound to it. but thanx anyway.

OK. You're calling a method or setting/reading a property on what you think is a valid object that isn't actually pointing to an instance of an object. In other words, you're trying to do something like Nothing.Method(params) . Obviously, Nothing , or null in C# doesn't have any methods or properties, so this will throw the message you're talking about.
There is nothing wrong with the DataGrid that will cause this problem. It's being thrown by code you wrote. Perhaps you're calling a method on an object your code is assuming exists, probably as a return value from a method, or as an object in a collection where the collection doesn't have any objects in it, when it should be checking for the existance of an object before it tries to use it.
