I have a network of about 40+ XP clients in a 2003 R2 domain. I have 1 XP sp3 machine that (no matter who logs in to it) can access shares on the server, but cannot change or delete (user has full security rights to share). If I login to any other XP box I have no problem, so I believe there is...

I'd like to be able to populate a list of SQL servers on a network. This is to allow a user set up an ado connect string. I see it done in sql related programs, and I'm trying to find a class that has this functionality from within dotnet.

I used the wizard to create a new add-in. The 1st time I created the project and ran it, the add-in loaded into a vb ide and gave me a menu selection for it under the tools menu. The 2nd time, I added code to show a form when the add-in was clicked, then re-ran the project, but got no addin. It...

It looks as though I can embed an image into a project, but how do I load it at run time? I really don't want to load it off the disk, but rather have it compiled in the project. Is this possible? I'm actually trying to load an image strip into an image list. As always your suggestions are...

I need a way to trap a key from the keypress event. In VB6 you just set KeyAscii=0. It looks like e.Handled=True should work, but no effect. Thanks

Well...gee wiz, I just found the System.IO.StringReader to be quite useful for what I'm trying to do here. Thanks anyway!

How do I load a DataSet object from a string variable(loaded with xml data)? All of my documentation tells how to use a stream object and such, but no explanation for what I'm trying to do. I tried to using xmldatadocument.loadxml, but this doesnt seem to affect the dataset property. I really...

How do I run a dll in code with .net? I know that in VB6 All I had to do was start my dll project and reference it from another project. Right now all I see that I can do is recompile the dll everytime.

Well, the log doesn't show any kind of error. I think my problem may be due to the fact that I'm using XP to do my compiles. This is the only thing I can think of. Although this is really wierd because I was using XP successfully to do my compiles, but now since a reinstall...no success. It...

I can't seem to install updated versions of these files. I'm using wise install master to script installs. I know i can boot to dos for win98 & me fat32, but what about win2k ntfs? I am including the new files in the distribution, but these 2 files don't seem to be getting updated.
