VB.NET-Accessing a Secure Network Directory

4 New Member
Alright, now I'm sure this is 'simple' for most seasoned .NET programmers, but I am still in the process of learning both VB & .NET...

I have a console application that has to access a network directory (\\server\path) in order to read through all files that exist there.

The problem I have encountered is that in order to access the directory, it requires proper authentication (userid & pass)...

The actual error that I am getting is: Access to the path '\\server\path' is denied

I have been looking around quite a bit for a solution or even 'how-to' that covers the process of authenticating the .NET app to allow access to the desired directory.

If anyone can give pointers or even a link to such information, it would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks everyone!

Hi all, I just read the thread by the same name posted on Jun 15, 9:45 AM, but I am looking at it from a different point of view. I came across this question in terms of functionality. Are VB and C# (.NET) really functionally equivalent? I had read that although they are very similar, C# does extend functionality further than VB.NET; however, when I searched for pages regarding this, I could not find any.

About 2 years ago, and as recently as perhaps 1 year ago, I can recall seeing many posts about what language to use with ASP.Net. The consensus was that employers paid more for C# programmers, and it seems that C# became the darling of the ASP.Net crowd. In the meantime, I have observed an interesting phenomenon. Originally, employers hired programmers who used C# because it was based on C, and the prevailing opinion was (and may still...

Can someone please help me determine what my connection string should...

Hi all, I'm searching for a few good books on asp.net and c#. I'm afraid of buying books here in denmark that i cant read though before i get them, becuase 90% of them are just pure junk. I dont need 3 chapters on object oriented programming or c# inside a asp.net book. Looking mainly for reference books or tactics books that would cover all aspects of asp.net, like security, controls, session managment, web.config and so on.

Hello, I am in need of some advice. I want to move to .Net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 for ASP.NET developement, however I'm hesitant. Here are a few questions I have regarding the upgrade: 1) Currently I have several customers with .Net web applications I've written. If I upgrade to VS2005 and go to update these applications, will VS2005 assume .Net 2.0 and use whatever new syntax or properties? Or keep it on my current version?

I was reading yet another book on .NET - VB 2005 Professional (wrox) and read the statement; "Microsoft has staked their future on .NET and publicly stated that henceforth almost all their research and development will be done on this platform. It is expected that, eventually, almost all Microsoft products will be ported to the .NET platform." So I thought about this statement for a minute -- then I realized that I have ALL...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
