I have a really strange issue. I'm using the following code to retrieve the current user name from the registry:
[Code]....
For some reason it isn't returning the actual value stored. Instead of returning something like CSS it's returning administrator everytime.
I have a Library ( DLL ) that has a method with the following:
var masterKey =
Registry.
LocalMachine.
OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dynamics\5.0\");
When running this method in an WinForms applicaiton, masterKey is not null and when running this in asp.net masterKey is null!
I've checked the executing user with WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name and the same user is executing both applications. The asp.net application is executed in visual studio ( debug: F5 ) and so is the WinForms application. I've set the permissions to none what so ever and this gives me "Access Denied". And when I add the group Users I get null. Which would mean that I can fold up the strucutre and see that it's there, but I cannot access the keys/entried.
i have a site thet need to check some dll file in the client registry how can i check it and if the is no dll how can i add it to the registry c# or javascript.

View 1 RepliesIs there any other place that makes sense to store credentials for third party APIs that you use to make API calls for Facebook, PayPal, etc.? I'm tempted to store sets of credentials (Sandbox, Live), etc. in my web.config and the in a Profile.cs class create a couple methods to go out and populate the profile custom object's properties with the values from my web.config based on an enum that holds the type of Profile account I want to get details for.
So for example I have an enum for PayPal called PayPalProfileType that has value ExpressCheckoutSandbox and ExpressCheckoutLive
In the constructor I'm passing in one of these values then calling a method SetSandboxValues() or SetLiveValues() dependong in what value was passed into my constructor. The SetSandBoxValues for example would set my Profile.cs's properties like ApiUserName, ApiPassword, ApiSignature with the values grabbed from my web.config in a section that has all sandbox values in my web.config.

I am getting "Requested registry access is not allowed." exception when trying to read a registry key in Windows Server 2008 r2 64 bit edition.
I have added the IIS application pool to Administrator group but still getting same error.
I have a .Net web service which is being relocated onto a Windows 7 machine running IIS 7.I have set up an application under the default web site and pointed it to the correct location, however when I try to execute a call to the web service, I get a message as follows:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.ArgumentException: Registry SubKey softwareardexconnections.net not found.
In the past when I had this error, all that has been required to fix it is to set the permissions on that registry sub key to allow read access to the anonymous IIS user. I have given the Everyone group Full Control of this sub key in an attempt to get it working but I still get the same error.This is my first experience with Windows 7 and IIS 7 and it seems quite a bit has changed, so I'm probably missing something.

But in live server (x64 windows server 2008 r2) I get NULL.ese operating systems should have similar policies or does Local System on server 2008 have any restrictions i should know about?

Is there a way to show CPU and RAM usage statistics on an asp.net page. I've tried this code but I have error:
Access to the registry key 'Global' is denied.
on this line:
ramCounter = new PerformanceCounter("Memory", "Available MBytes");
the more i read about pattern the more i get confused!
In particular i'm trying to get the relationship between Registry and Repository.
Is it correct to say that a possible implementation of a Registry uses a Factory to return an appropriate Repository which, in turns, uses an underline DataMapper to performe the CRUD operations against a database?
If no, which kind of relationship exists between repository and registry ?
have registered keys in the registry for impersonation for my application (asp.net 2.0 running in IIS 7.0)
<identity impersonate="true" userName="registry:HKLMSOFTWAREMY_SECURE_APPAPPNAMEASPNET_SETREG,userName" password="registry:HKLMSOFTWAREMY_SECURE_APPAPPNAMEASPNET_SETREG,password" />
I hosted a webservice in my Windows7 machine. and i got the exception as given:
Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the registry key 'Global' is denied.
ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.
Even after i have given permission as Everyone the above issue still eexist..
I have a web server running IIS 6 which has .NET 2,3.5, and 4 installed. Everytime I install a .NET 4.0 web appication the ASP IIS Registration tool is ran which is clearing out some important registry entries for EnableExtionlessUrls. We have reinstall the .NET 4.0 framework but are still having the same problem.
View 1 RepliesOne day I was developing my MVC app in Visual Studio 2010 and my computer crashed (flaky hardware - now fixed).But ever since then,in my app,whenever I have a view page or control editor up, the <%@ Page ... %> statement was squigley-underlined in blue with an tool-tip error message like:
/.../page.aspx: ASP.NET runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'StructureMap, Version=2.6.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxx' or one of its dependencies. The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT:0x80070057 E_INVALIDARG))
I deleted and re-added the reference to StructureMap in the References in the solution explorer,deleted and re-copied the actual StructureMap DLL, but the error doesn't go-away.I deleted the output directories and rebuilt,but still have the problem.
The application still builds and runs okay, but while in the editor, though I continue to have IntelliSense for the HTML stuff,for any C# code inside <% %>'s, the IntelliSense is gone.
If I copy the application tree to another disk or directory,or rename the root directory to a different name,the problem goes away.But if I use the same name or disk,the problem appears.Maybe it's some corrupted registry entry?
the problem in a nutshell:running plink(with specific arguments) works from cmd, but not from asp.net
the command being executed:"C:Program Files (x86)PuTTYplink.exe" -batch abc@xyz ./fake_email.sh from cmd, the command executes correctly,with fake_email.sh returning "0". from asp.net i get the following error:
The server's host key is not cached in the registry.You have no guarantee that the server is the computer you think it is.The server's rsa2 key fingerprint is:
ssh-rsa 2048 sequence Connection abandoned.i think it has something to do with the user(which .net uses to start a process) not being able to "see" the key which pageant is making available.i am running cmd as administrator.
I create web service for Reading and writing the registry. It works fine in win-xp. But its not working when I published it in win-2008 server. It shows me http 500 error.

string valuename = "Allow";
setRegistryValue(key, valuename, Value);
Get Reg:
string key = @"SOFTWAREWow6432NodeMyCompanyMyProjectSettings";
string valuename = "Allow";
return Convert.ToInt32(getRegistryValue(key, valuename));

I'm trying to debug an ASP.NET webapp that's configured to "Use Local IIS Web Server" on WinXP. When I start the debugger, the compile succeeds, and then the following error is displayed in a dialog:

View 1 RepliesI have been googling this and have not come along a working solution for an entire day. I don't know anything about binary data types (as I've never knowingly used them) and I'm trying to write a binary value that I see in the registry, to the registry. Now, all I see is the following [shown below]... and if I try to pass that as a string to the RegSetValueEx in the WinAPI and of course it errors out... I do not know what 'numbers' I need to pass into the lpData As Any, argument of RegSetValueEx (i tried a bit array) in order for it to come out as the following [shown below] in the regedit. I really have no idea, and my tests to place random numbers in the bit array just produce corresponding random "figures" as visible in regedit that I do not understand how to 'tie' them together logically.
here is the culprit!
[Code]...
If I had the following in a string or a bit array, what must I populate the bitarray with so that the registry outputs this [above] when written? or, how can I figure out how to do it? I was hoping there'd be a function that reads my string of binary data and transforms it into the real binary format to submit to the RegSetValueEx function in VB6 or other function in VB.Net or C# (this really is a language agnostic question, and the problem exists in all languages; ie: same process).
