600 Vermont Army National Guard Deployed
From today’s Burlington Free Press
About 600 Vermont Army National Guard soldiers were mobilized Friday morning to provide security in support of the U.S. war in Iraq, but Vermont’s soldiers are not scheduled to go into the turbulent country. They report for training Nov. 15.
Also two soldiers with Vermont ties died in the past few days in Iraq.
Norwich University graduate U.S. Army Maj. Charles Robert Soltes was killed in Iraq this week when the Humvee he was riding in was ambushed. He becomes the 14th with Vermont ties to die in Iraq.
Michael Voss, 35, moved to North Carolina nearly 20 years ago; many of his family members remain in Enosburg Falls. Voss was killed near Tikrit, Iraq, on Oct. 8. The service is to be held in North Carolina.
Updater Block Roadblock
I have made some pretty good headway with my complex App Updater Block needs, which I wrote about the other day here.
However I have run into a roadblock. One of the things I was trying to accomplish is actually doing authentication and authorization before the user even got the updates. I have a reason for this. However, I realize that now getting the user info to the new process that my stub application starts up is going to be a task which is not what I want to start hammering on. Although…maybe a combination of reflection and getcurrentprocess and then adding in a method to my main exe to pass an object in and then I can invoke that method and …and…and.. oh I’m too tired for this tonight! 🙂 I have used reflection with assemblies but never with a process, so I could just be on drugs with that idea.
.NET 2.0 ‘s version of the ProcessStartInfo class actually has username and password as well as LoadUserProfile (boolean) properties that will help me do this next year, but not now. And of course, we’ll have ClickOnce then anyway…
I will probably have to rethink my architecture again and another way to accomplish the result I was after that was the reason for putting the authentication right up front in the stub application.
