  In VS 2005, C#, WinForms app I have a form "BaseForm" which contains a 'protected' button. The button's click event code is 'MessageBox.Show("BASE FORM")'. I have another form, "ChildForm" which inherits from "BaseForm".

Is there a way in the child forms button click event to prevent the code in the button on the base form (MessageBox.Show("BASE FORM")) from executing 2 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions S.M.A.R.T. hard disk data

  is there anyway to access s.m.a.r.t. data through c# i'd like to be able to make a tool that extracts the hard disk's reliability data and post's it to a database on the web! unfortunately not.

The only possibility you will have is by using some Win32API call perhaps ...Show All

• .NET Development impersonating the user initiating an action over the network

  I am trying to write a simple server/client application that will perform operations on the server using the permissions of the person running the client. I have saught to do this by serializing a WindowsIdentity object representing the client and sending it through a NetworkStream that is connected to the server (which will run as a windows service). Then I attempt to impersonate the user on the server using the WindowsIdentity object. Well, aparently the WindowsIdentity object does not contain a full set of credentials because once it gets to the server it simply sais that the handle is bad. I can see how this situation would happen, but what to I need to do to transmit the user's security token to another computer so tha ...Show All
