I'm a novice coder so I'm not that knowledgeable. Please be kind with my silly questions.
I am writing an IP address switching utility
I've got two VB.NET functions:
GetNIC() and MakeStatic()
GetNIC() uses the System.Net.NetworkInformation namespace. I have it running to find the current IPv4 adapter, IP, DGW, SM and other info.
MakeStatic() uses the System.Management namespace. I am trying to figure out how to use the info from GetNIC() to single out the same adapter and change the info. Here is a snippet of my code to switch the IP. I never really have used ManagementBaseObjects before and was wondering how to find the GUID (or something) that matches the GUID I have already found in GetNIC().
Dim objNewIP As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
Dim objSetIP As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
Dim objNewGate As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
objNewIP = objMO.GetMethodParameters("EnableStatic")
objNewGate = objMO.GetMethodParameters("SetGateways")
'Set DefaultGateway
objNewGate("DefaultIPGateway") = New String() {Gateway}
objNewGate("GatewayCostMetric") = New Integer() {1}
'Set IPAddress and Subnet Mask
objNewIP("IPAddress") = New String() {IPAddress}
objNewIP("SubnetMask") = New String() {SubnetMask}
objSetIP = objMO.InvokeMethod("EnableStatic", objNewIP, Nothing)
objSetIP = objMO.InvokeMethod("SetGateways", objNewGate, Nothing)
Basically I'm shooting for:
If objMO.<<something>> = NICguid then
<<<Do the above code>>
End IF
FOUND IT!
objMO("MACAddress")
Thanks!

I am trying to read the network adapters
as seen here
at the moment I am using the code I found online
Sub Main()
Dim path As ManagementPath = New ManagementPath()
path.Server = "."
path.NamespacePath = "root\CIMV2"
Dim scope As ManagementScope = New ManagementScope(path)
Dim query As ObjectQuery = New ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapter")
Dim searcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query)
Dim queryCollection As ManagementObjectCollection = searcher.Get()
Dim m As ManagementObject
For Each m In queryCollection
Console.WriteLine("Device Name : {0}", m("Name"))
Next
Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
Right now I am seeing a list of devices that include those 4, but also a bunch of hidden devices and what looks like devices that are not connected anymore. How do I refine my search to only show what the device manager shows by default?
Found my answer on another forum, but cannot find the link again. Here is the answer:
Dim moIP As ManagementObject
Dim myNet = New ManagementObjectSearcher _
("SELECT * FROM Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration WHERE IPEnabled = True")
Dim CountIncrement As Int16 = 1
For Each moIP In myNet.Get
Console.WriteLine()
'find device with MAC Address
If CStr(moIP("MACAddress")) = "00:11:22:33:44:55" Then
'code here
End If
Next
Edit: inside the for loop, these checks can also be done for finding information about connected devices.
Console.WriteLine("Device Name : {0}", moIP("Caption"))
Console.WriteLine("Service Name : {0}", moIP("ServiceName"))
Console.WriteLine("Description Name : {0}", moIP("Description"))
Console.WriteLine("MAC : {0}", moIP("MACAddress"))
Console.WriteLine(moIP("IPAddress")(0))
am trying to use the DocuSign .Net Client to request a signature on a Document I am creating dynamically. So far, I have been able to change the example to vb.net and it works (Exmaple CS). I was converting the "Walkthrough #4 - Request Signature on Document", about 1/2 way down the code. Now I am trying to use the Envelope.Document I've seen in other examples, such as, DocuSign example. But it seems .Document is not part of Envelope, even thought the rest of the code in both examples translates to vb.
My other option is to use the Envelope.AddDocument but I can't seem to figure out what it's expecting. I am supposed to pass fileBytes() as Byte, fileName as String, and index As Integer. I've tried a couple different methods to get the fileBytes but keep getting an error about Invalid_Content_Type Content type is not supported.
Here is the code I've been trying. Any help on how to add a Document to an Envelope would be appreciated. Ultimately I want to be able to add multiple documents to the one envelope. I can get the env.Create(docPath) to work, but that is not helpful.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

HISTORY
I am new to vb.net and programming. Thus far I have been able to make a program that allows users to enter client information with the forms being changed based on certain selections. We have a system that uses our SQL data to do mail merges in Word and then send a PDF for esignature to the client through DocuSign. We are using a SQL backend and a vb.net front end.
Lastly, I have been looking for an answer over the weekend and am now reaching out for help. I have searched google for every possible term(s) I can think to include/exclude. If I am asking publicly that truly means I have exhausted every resource I have. Please do not post links to any DocuSign Documentation as I have already visited all those sites. Thank you.
It doesn't appear that the Envelope class has a Document property, but rather a Documents property which seems to be an array.
The C# example you posted at this link seems to show how to attach a document:
// Attach the document(s) C#
envelope.Documents = new DocuSignWeb.Document[1];
DocuSignWeb.Document doc = new DocuSignWeb.Document();
doc.ID = "1";
doc.Name = "Document Name";
doc.PDFBytes = [Location of Document];
envelope.Documents[0] = doc;
Which in VB would be something like this:
'Attach the document(s) VB
envelope.Documents = new DocuSignWeb.Document(0);
Dim doc As New DocuSignWeb.Document()
doc.ID = "1"
doc.Name = "Document Name"
doc.PDFBytes = [Location of Document]
envelope.Documents(0) = doc
If this is not the problem you are facing, please provide additional details.
Clearly my approach to learning vb, api's and all the other stuff needed to get my program working is extremely daunting. I am not sure if it is my lack of knowledge or just a misunderstanding of the code, but I was finally able to get this figured out.
My function takes an object 'client' that has things like Name and Email, I also pass a list of Document Paths and the Subject line for the email. This loops through the list of documents and adds them to the envelope. I also have some examples of adding Tags which was a learning process in itself. I hope I am the only one unfortunate enough to have to be learning so many different new concepts that something this simple takes months to figure out, but if not here's the code:

PS - As I've said I am extremely new to this and am learning as I am going. I understand this may not be the most elegant approach or properly formatted code, but I unfortunately have very little time to go back an update code I've written. Hopefully one day I will be able to go back and fix all the stuff I didn't understand when I first created it.
This is the code that i have made but now working to save the report to the directory:
As you see i follow pretty much a lot of microsoft tutorials of how use this class of reporting service, but still dont get how get it working

Try setting up a subscription via the Report Manager and specifying the Report Delivery Options value for 'Delivered By:' as 'Report Server File Share'.
This lets you specify a path for a report file to be written to - you will need to ensure that the Reporting Services server has write access to the destination.
I am writing a Windows Forms App in VB.Net that will (among other things) change the IP Address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask, and set the IP Address to Static on an image of Winfows 7 only. Sysprep is not being used. I have searched Google and only come up with 2 options. I don't believe the first solution will work for me because I do not necessarily know the name of the connection. It uses netsh to change IP settings. I was going to give a link to this example but I can't post more than 2 links...
The second solution is shown at this link (the VB.Net version) and the original code is here (the C# version). This solution uses WMI which I really don't know that much about.
When I debug the code and look at everything the code seems to be executing properly but the IP Address is still set to DHCP and all of the other setting are still the same. So, basically, what gives? Why does this code seem to not work?
Here is my code. I only made a few changes:
'Changed the 3 IPs below
Dim IPAddress As String = "192.168.1.105"
Dim SubnetMask As String = "255.255.252.0"
Dim Gateway As String = "192.168.1.100"
Dim objMC As ManagementClass = New ManagementClass("Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration")
Dim objMOC As ManagementObjectCollection = objMC.GetInstances()
For Each objMO As ManagementObject In objMOC
If (Not CBool(objMO("IPEnabled"))) Then
Continue For
End If
Try
Dim objNewIP As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
Dim objSetIP As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
Dim objNewGate As ManagementBaseObject = Nothing
objNewIP = objMO.GetMethodParameters("EnableStatic")
objNewGate = objMO.GetMethodParameters("SetGateways")
'Set DefaultGateway
objNewGate("DefaultIPGateway") = New String() {Gateway}
objNewGate("GatewayCostMetric") = New Integer() {1}
'Set IPAddress and Subnet Mask
objNewIP("IPAddress") = New String() {IPAddress}
objNewIP("SubnetMask") = New String() {SubnetMask}
objSetIP = objMO.InvokeMethod("EnableStatic", objNewIP, Nothing)
objSetIP = objMO.InvokeMethod("SetGateways", objNewGate, Nothing)
'Changed this line so I could see if it was executing all of the way
MessageBox.Show("Updated IPAddress, SubnetMask and Default Gateway!")
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("Unable to Set IP : " & ex.Message)
End Try
Next objMO
I can answer my own question. I thought of it in the shower (how cliche right?). Because this is Windows 7, all I needed to was right-click and run the program as an administrator.
I am trying to nail down free space on a remote server by querying all the drives and then looping until I find the drive I am seeking.
Is there a better way to do this?
Dim oConn As New ConnectionOptions
Dim sNameSpace As String = "\\mnb-content2\root\cimv2"
Dim oMS As New ManagementScope(sNameSpace, oConn)
Dim oQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select FreeSpace,Size,Name from Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=3")
Dim oSearcher As ManagementObjectSearcher = New ManagementObjectSearcher(oMS, oQuery)
Dim oReturnCollection As ManagementObjectCollection = oSearcher.Get()
Dim oReturn As ManagementObject
For Each oReturn In oReturnCollection
'Disk name
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + oReturn("Name").ToString())
'Free Space in bytes
Dim sFreespace As String = oReturn("FreeSpace").ToString()
If Left(oReturn("Name").ToString(), 1) = "Y" Then
Console.WriteLine(sFreespace)
End If
Next
Why not just make your WMI query only pull back where name='Y'?
So:
Dim oQuery As System.Management.ObjectQuery = New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select FreeSpace,Size,Name from Win32_LogicalDisk where DriveType=3 AND name='Y'")
