execute a "form" from another account

[gregoire77]

Hello everyone,

I introduce myself, my name is Greg. I am stuck on an application that we use for "Windows" account creations. I must be able to execute a "form" from another account. When can I do? I thought I would use a "process.startinfo" but I could not indicate the "file" ... thank you for your help.

here is the code that poses me problem, the "showDialog" option was used before a change of account


System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "";
proc.StartInfo.Domain = useradmin.Domaine;
proc.StartInfo.UserName = useradmin.Login;
proc.StartInfo.Password = useradmin.Password;
proc.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = true;

proc.Start();


// Application.EnableVisualStyles();
// Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Application.Run(new formulaire_1());

// var application = new formulaire_1();
// application.ShowDialog();

This is the path to the current application: Application.ExecutablePath Property (System.Windows.Forms) | Microsoft Docs

If you just need to run some code as different user you can use "impersonation", but you probably need to run the process as administrator with elevated privilegies and you need to start a new process for that to happen (with "runas" verb).

Hello,
Thank you for your answer, however my problem is the following.
The first "FORM" must be executed with the "user windows current", then in a second time the "FORM2" must be it with a specific user. I tried to set up the "impersonation" without result to date.

You could pass an argument to the process and read Command-Line Arguments (C# Programming Guide) | Microsoft Docs to conditionally show different forms, or use two different applications.
