1.  Go to http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd and dowload the xsd schema to C:\temp\ of your computer.

2. Start the Visual Studio 2010 CMD

3. execute the command : xsd c:\temp\gpx.xsd /classes  /out:c:\temp\

excel is very slow

- be sure there are no conditional formatting rules
- be sure that the excel file does have links to websites / server that aren't accessible at this moment.
- be sure that the images are small (compress all pictures in the excel)

Get logged on users

ever tryed to resolve the logged onusers with wmi?

I think it is just the wrong way.

public static List< string> GetLoggedOnUsers(string Computername)

        {

            List<string > Users = new List<string >();

            try

            {

                // Open HKEY_USERS

                // on a remote computer.

              

                RegistryKey environmentKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive .Users, Computername);

                foreach (string subKeyName in environmentKey.GetSubKeyNames())

                {

                    RegistryKey rkeyuser = environmentKey.OpenSubKey(subKeyName);

                    RegistryKey rkeyVendor = rkeyuser.OpenSubKey("Volatile Environment");

                    if (rkeyVendor != null )

                    {

                        String[] ValueNames = rkeyVendor.GetValueNames();

                        foreach (string name in ValueNames)

                        {

                            if(name=="USERNAME" )

                                Users.Add(rkeyVendor.GetValue(name).ToString());

                        }

                    }

           

               

                }

                // Close the registry key.

                environmentKey.Close();

            }

            catch

            {

            }

            return Users;

        }
