"Access is Denied" on a folder as Windows Administrator ?

Overview

When an Windows administrator attempts to access a user's folder or file, the administrator receives an "Access is Denied" message.

This behavior occurs because a user or an administrator applied a Group Policy object to redirect the user's folder to a network share (\\Server\Share\UserName), and did not change the Grant the user exclusive rights default setting.

Only the user, to whom the folder belongs, has authorization to access this folder when this default setting is used.

Solution

An administrator must take ownership of the folder in order to change the Access Control List (ACL) or to access the folder.

To take ownership of a folder, follow these steps:

Right-click the desired folder, click Properties, and then click
the Security tab.

Click OK when you receive the following message:

You only have permission to view the current security information on username

Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.

Select a new owner, select Replace owner on subcontainers and objects, and then click OK.

Click Yes when you receive the following message:

You do not have permission to read the contents of directory path and directory name. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control?

Close, and then reopen Properties to refresh the ACL.
Note: The permissions for this folder are now being inherited from the parent folder. In most cases you should block inheritance from the parent by clearing the Allow inheritable permissions from parent to propagate to this object check box. You will then be able to change the permissions on this folder.

Call a method in another assembly with C#

// Load the assembly

Assembly assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(@"C:\App\bin\xyz.dll");

// Create the actual type

Type classType = assembly.GetType("xyz", true, false);

// Create an instance of this type and verify that it exists

object dynamicObject = Activator.CreateInstance(classType);

if (dynamicObject != null)
{
// Verify that the method exists and get its MethodInfo object

MethodInfo invokedMethod = classType.GetMethod("Start");

if (invokedMethod != null)
{
object[] parameters = new object[2];
parameters[0] = jobType;
parameters[1] = argument;

// Invoke the method with the parameters

invokedMethod.Invoke(dynamicObject, parameters);
}
}

Embed script : ScriptLoadFailedException

ASP.NET: 3 Steps to embed web resources into dll

If you want to make your own custom control. Yes, custom - not user control. You have something that should work good, everywhere and run from single dll. But how to store images, javascript and other stuff inside this dll? Everything looks fine, but it always cause problems. I decided to write 3 simple steps to embed javascript into your custom control.

Add your JS file to custom control project. Right click on the file - Properties - Build Action - Embedded Resource
Open your AssembyInfo.cs file and add following line

[assembly: System.Web.UI.WebResource("YourNamespace.FileName.js", "application/x-javascript")]

In your custom control OnLoad event add following line:

Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptResource(this.GetType(), "YourNamespace.FileName.js");

That's all!

Debug with Visual Studio 2005 and IE8

IE 8 has a feature called Loosely-Coupled Internet Explorer (LCIE) which results in IE running across multiple processes.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/beta/readiness/developers-existing.aspx#lcie

Older versions of the Visual Studio Debugger get confused by this and cannot figure out how to attach to the correct process. You can work around this by disabling the process growth feature of LCIE. Here's how:

1) Open RegEdit
2) Browse to HKEY_LOCALMACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Internet Explorer -> Main
3) Add a dword under this key called TabProcGrowth
4) Set TabProcGrowth to 0

Since you are running on Windows Server 2003, this is all you should need to do. If you run into the same problem on Vista or newer, you will also need to turn off protected mode.

Disabling script debugging in VS 2008

Disable all script debugging

Open a new command prompt (start->run, cmd.exe). If you are on a 64-bit computer this needs to be a 32-bit prompt (start->run, c:\windows\syswow64\cmd.exe)
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\AD7Metrics\Engine\{F200A7E7-DEA5-11D0-B854-00A0244A1DE2} /v ProgramProvider /d {4FF9DEF4-8922-4D02-9379-3FFA64D1D639} /f

(re)enable all script debugging

reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\AD7Metrics\Engine\{F200A7E7-DEA5-11D0-B854-00A0244A1DE2} /v ProgramProvider /d {170EC3FC-4E80-40AB-A85A-55900C7C70DE} /f
