SecurityExcepti on with remote PerformanceCoun ter under .NET 2.0

I have some code that attempts to read a performance counter on a
remote machine. Under .NET 1.1 the code works just fine, but under
..NET 2.0 I get a SecurityExcepti on with a description of "Requested
registry access is not allowed". Everything about the code and target
machines is the same, with the only difference being that I'm running
the code under a brand new installation of VS.NET 2005.

As for security, I am a member of an AD group that is a member of the
local "Performanc e Monitor Users" on the target remote machine. Under
1.1 this seems to be sufficient, but for some reason I can only create
the performance counter object under .NET 2.0 if I add my group to the
remote machine's "Administrators " group. This is not a permanent
option.

I tried reflecting the System.Diagnost ics namespace and found that in
..NET 2.0 it is demanding a "Read" permission rather than the "Browse"
permission which has been deprecated, but I was unable to determine how
that "Read" permission is evaluated/applied.

I've been banging my head on this for several hours now. Any help or
insight would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my problem. I'm creating an Instrumentation class that will use previously created Performance Categories and Counters in order to time various processes (ie. query duration etc.).

Hello all; in need of some assistance. I am currently writing some software for our companies intranet, and I need for it to specifically access other machines on the network's Performance counters. Now I ran all the code against my machine and I can access the counter information fine. But if I try to create a counter on a remote machine I get an access denied error; obviously a permissions based issue. Now I tried setting the assemblies...

I have been struggling with a security issue that occurs under .NET 2.0, but does not occur under .NET 1.1. Essentially I am trying to open up a performance counter on a remote server and monitor its value. In .NET 1.1 this worked fine, however under .NET 2.0 it fails when I am not an administrator on the remote server. To provide a lean demonstration of the issue, I created the following class: ============================

Not that I've ever gotten any reponse to questions in the past, but I don't know where else to turn. I have a remoting application (.NET 2.0, VS 2005, C#) with a custom ChannelSinkProvider as described in this article http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973909.aspx This example uses role-based security by way of decorating each method with or some other programmer defined role.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
