if it stopped working, then "something" changed. You indicated that you rolled back to an older version from vss and have the same problem. That hints to me that it is an environmental issue. For example a Windows Update installed a security update that has a pending reboot which can sometimes trash your logon token (and hence thread's windows identity). Your domain controller got rebooted, while it was down, your desktop needed to authenticate, and could not contact the controller...reboot.
The domain controller has a pending reboot for a Windows Update. <-- I find this to be a common problem with some of our customers. Check your "System" event log for errors with a "Source" of "Lsa". -----Original Message----- From: Discussion of advanced .NET topics. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Knowlton, Gerald F. Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2007 7:57 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] Lost the My object. Good morning; I have this VB windows app that has suddenly lost the My object. That is to say, when I am running the program both in the IDE and as a current executable, My.User.Name equals "" or null. This error appeared suddenly when prior, the application worked fine. One of the things I am seeing - in the app.config file_ is in the ConfigSections/SectionGroup name/section name is the 'RequirePermission="false" is tagged as a "warning". The warning message says that "The requirePermission attribute is not declared". I am importing the system.configuration object into the application. I also attempted to get the value of system.configuration.sectioninformation.requirepermission by using the examples in the help file Dim x as sectionInformation Dim value as Boolean Value = x.RequirePermission but when I run this in the IDE, I get the error "Type System.Configuration.SectionInformation' has no constructors" for the value of x Here is what I have done so far. 1. I have reinstalled VS2005 and .NET V2.0. 2. Older executables of this program run ok as executables. 3. I have rolled back the program in VSS to an earlier version - still have the same problem. Any thoughts anyone?
