C# - How do I read the logged-in username?

Hi,
I am looking for a way, to retrieve the logged-in username.
Just like:
User.Identity.Name;
The Windows username and Novell username are not always the same, so I can't use this method.
Regards,
Kim Bang

You want to "read the Novell username", but the problem is that one PC can
be logged in with multiple identities to multiple trees/servers
I suggest to take a look at the linked articles to understand the
architecture, and deicide on your approach;
then if you have eDirectory specific questions post in this forum
http://forums.novell.com/novell-prod.../edir-windows/
if you decide to go for ActiveX you'll find the Novell ActiveX controls are
deprecated (the forum may be closed, but still can be searched for info),
but may still be helpful:
http://www.novell.com/developer/ndk/...supported.html.
The NWSess control would get you what you need.

Thank you for your reply.
The idea is, that my webapp (ASP.NET) can read the Novell username on
the client pc (Windows XP).
Just like you can read the Windows username. The webserver (IIS) is
running locally on the network, that is also why the Windows username
works, because that wouldn't be the case with a remote webserver.
Wether or not I'm in the right forum I do not know. I was requested to
find out, how to do the above, and I am not really that much in to
Novell unfortunatly.
But if i am in a wrong category, I would very much like to know which
is the rigth one for this questing.

How to find the logged-in username

Hello everyone,
My application needs to find the logged-in username from the
operating system, which in this case will always be Windows. This
would be the same as the USERNAME environment variable that can be
obtained from typing "set" from the command prompt. Anyone know how
this can be done? Many thanks, --Bob

Hi,
There's no direct API for this, but you can try:
var username:String = File.userDirectory.name;
(Refer
http://www.johncblandii.com/2008/09/air-tip-getting-logged-in-user.html))

How can I read the bootstrap files and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?

How can I read the bootstrap files of any HDS Live stream and extract the fragment-URLs and fragment-numbers in plain text?
Could it be that it is some kind of compressed format in the bootstrap? Can I uncompress it wirh f4fpackager.exe? Could not find any download for f4fpackager.exe. I would prefere less code to do so. Is there something in Java of JavaScript, that can extract the fragment-numbers?
Thank you!

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

Hi,
I'm not sure if you mean using the polar plot vi, but if so there is an example shipped with LabVIEW. Go to Example Finder and search for 'polar', and you should find Polar Plot Demo.vi. Also, here are some useful links:

How can I read the trace data from Agilent(HP)8510C in C++ using NI488.2 and PCI-GPIB ?

Hello! I am trying to develop an application in C++ for measurements with Agilent(HP) 8510C network analyser using NI488.2 and National Instrument's PCI-GPIB card. In HPBASIC the trace data is read using OUTPDATA command which contains PREAMBLE, SIZE and then the data string in real and imaginary pair for the required points. The ibrd function gives data only for one point. Kindly guide me how I can read the whole trace and and separate out the real and imaginary data values. Regards, kapil

Hey Kapil,
It seems that in HPBASIC you were using an instrument driver for the 8510C. OUTPDATA is not a native HPBASIC function. National Instrument has similar instrument drivers for LabVIEW and CVI.
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/7b235254f3881ddb862568ab005fbd2e?OpenDocument
http://zone.ni.com/idnet97.nsf/9b2b33e1993d877786256436006ec498/24ca7db880ab78ae862568ab005fbc0f?OpenDocument
For example in the CVI instrument driver you will find a source file called hp8510.c. In the source code you will find a function called hp8510c_dataInRaw that sounds similar to the function that you described.
Note that this example is designed for CVI, but it is possible that you could extract the information you need for C++. If
you had a copy of CVI you could just add the files downloaded from the instrument driver to a project and then compile and run the project. It already contains a ready to run example that allows you to capture data and use your instrument.
If you want try CVI you can download an evaluation copy on-line at http://ni.com/lwcvi/launch.htm.
I hope this helps out,

How can I read the printer snapshot file printers.xml

How can I read the printer snapshot file printers.xml

XML files are typically viewed using a web browser.
Open the XML file and the default program should open it automatically. If you are prompted to select a program, use the option that lets you choose a program and brows through the directories for your browser (for example, use Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.).
If need be, you should be able to right-click the file and select open with to choose the program to open it with.
There are other XML viewers out ther, but web browsers are typically the default as XML is a web language.

SapScript, How do I read the current line number?

I have sections of text - each in it's own element with an 'include' of the standard text.
These sections are variable in size.
All elements are in the MAIN window.
I do not want a paragraph to split over two pages.
How do I read the current line number within the sapscript before the section prints so I can issue a new-page command at the beginning of the paragraph?
Thanks!

Yes, that does work for paragraphs.
If I have multiple elements to print from within a loop where "at first, at each and at last" each call the Sapscript funtcion write_form - how can I keep the whole section together. protect/endprotect will keep each element together but not the group of elements.
There must be a way to find the current line number.

How do I read the selected value of a comboBox?

I need to send the selected value of a comboBox in an HTTPService request. How do I read the selected value (not label or item or index) from the comboBox?

> (not label or item or index)
I suspect 'item' is what you need actually. Specifically the 'selectedItem' property which returns the whole of the selected object from your dataprovider. From that you can then extract the selected object's properties.
e.g. selectedValue = myComboBox.selectedItem.value;
The example in tour-de-flex shows this - note: 'data' in that example is i think what you call 'value'.

How can I read the trace data into LabVIEW for E5071B

HI
I am setting up the measurement using vector network analyzer (VNA) E5071B controlled by NI 488.2. How can I read the trace data into LabVIEW and display on the graph? If anyone having an idea or know well about this process please give me the suggestion, I will much appreciate it.
Many Thanks

You want to start with the driver
In case you do not know it, you can do the driver search in LabVIEW from Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers. You might also want to bookmark the Instrument Driver Network for information on what a driver is and how to use it.

How can I read the image from database into form

hi everyone
if I have table like this
create table test
(id number(10),
pic long raw);
in this table record
in form If I have block non database
how can i read the image into non database item
I try with this code but no good
select pic into :photo from test where id=5;
photo its non database item kind image
how can i invoke image into item
thanks alooooooot

Hello,
You can't select image with select query. You need to create another database block from test table which has item binds with database pic column. Now in where condition in test block's property you have to write id=5. Change test block's properties UPDATE ALLOWED, INSERT ALLOWED, DELETE ALLOWED to NO. Only Query allowed property set to YES.
Now in your particular trigger write the code
GO_BLOCK('test');
Execute_Query;
please mark if it help you or correct

How do you read the camera position in the 3d picture control?

Hello,
There is a method to setup the camera position, but how do you read the current camera position? e.g. the user uses the mouse, ctrl, and shift, to change the camera position. How do you read this new camera position? There don't seem to be any properties to do this.
I've read this thread:
http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=214629&requireLogin=False
but the question was never answered....
From the comments in that thread, even if you had the proper documentation for the "Model Matrix" property, you couldn't get the information necessary to calculation the camera position.

Lorielle,
Thanks for the VI.
Could you point me towards a more detailed description of the "Modelview Matrix" property? I've attached a screenshot from the online help. It is not very helpful.
