creating logon box in c# .NET

I am creating a windows application. Before entering the main form I
want to have a logon box. I create this box from the constructor of the
main form, but when the logon box opens it is not in focus. How can I
force a form to be in focus?

Hi,

If you use ShowDialog to show the form, then it will be displayed in front
of the parent form. As an alternativ to create the logon box from the
main form, you could display it in the Main method before launching the
main form. That way the main form will never even be displayed if the
logon failed.

This seems like a often-asked topic. I created a windows service and installed it on my workstation. The application basically goes out and "receieves" messages from a queue on a remote server. When I use a windows forms app that uses the same components(classes), it works fine but as a service it blocks on GetAllMessages() method due to security issue. However, I am able to create messages, so that rules out any network issues.

Hi all, does anyone have any suggestions as to the steps involved in creating a DL using VB.Net. I have some Outlook automation experience but I'm not sure what the objects are that I should be creating. There is a distribution list item object, but no dsitribution list object to contain the items!

As part of the sys-admin tasks I undertake, it includes the profiling of user accounts. Most of this has been done through scripting, but there is still the hands on part of mapping drives etc that the GPO miss. Is it possible as part of a vb.net application to create a stub NTUSER.DAT file with all the necessary trimmings for the users? Has anyone tried doing such a task?

I have a class that has a LogOn method. I'm trying to think what the advantages are two approaches I have. a) Having a bool returned containing the success of the LogOn. b) Raising an exception that should be caught. I thought that exceptions should not really be raised for "expected" things and since passing, say, an invalid password to the LogOn routine is something that is bound to happen sooner or later (and is thus

I have a function that retrieves a user's login name from their workstation and looks it up on an employee table to return their full name (ie: jsmith -John Smith). Their full name is then displayed on each form as a greeting, while their login name is used to record their activities, as well as compared to a list of positions that allows different users to access different functions on the database. I have noticed two things however: ...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
