Kevin, In essence, what you'd do by using the .NET libraries for ARS as opposed to direct access to the DB via ODBC/DAO/ADO/EIEIO is leveraging the ARS User authentication as well as any permissions, workflow, business rules, etc. that are in the AR application. Consequently, this is the superior way to go as you don't need to, as my esteemed colleague Matt said, "reinvent the wheel".
Besides, you don't really want to build a security model in ASP.NET, do you? ;) You might try copying the code from the ASP.NET examples into a new project is MSVWD and see if it will work in that fashion. My second, and probably more pertinent question is this: why not use the Mid-Tier and the Requester Console? It provides exactly what you're asking for and then some. Not to mention, it's a whole lot easier to maintain (and lord knows, if I can code a solution I will because I'm weird like that so I don't ask this question lightly).

Plus, I still lost at how the connections are made where - 1. Login Page (Check your Remedy LoginID and password from CTM:People form) 2. Based upon your Remedy LoginID show you only your Incidents you have open etc Thanks, Kevin P. ** Kevin, Go to http://developer.bmc.com and search for “AR System .NET and COM API 7.1”. That will allow you to use the Remedy API for the functions you need (no reason to reinvent the wheel!). Good luck, Matt Reinfeldt From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Pulsen Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: ASP.Net code (Web page accessing ITSM 7 Incidents) ** Hello everyone and happy Friday! I am extremely new to asp.net coding, couple of days to be exact. Here is what I have done so far - 1. Downloaded and installed MS Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition. 2. Created a SQL DataSource connection to my SQL 2005 ARSystem database 3. I am able to pull all data (Incidents that are currently in - Views, HPD_Help_Desk form) Ok here is where I need some help - What I would like to do 1. Login Page (Check your Remedy LoginID and password from CTM:People form) 2. Based upon your Remedy LoginID show you only your Incidents you have open etc. 3. Update your Incidents if needed. I've seen this done before, so I know it's possible. I searched the ARSList, ASP.Net, BMC Developer Community and MSDN to no avail on some sample code I hope someone is willing to share some asp.net code, or where I can find some sample code. Current system - AR Server 7.1 patch 002 Service Desk (Incident & Problem Patch 7) Mid-Tier SQL 2005 If there is any other information required please let me know. Thanks and have a great weekend. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
