Hi, I'm looking to develop an application which basically takes information from a domain and then dynamically creates/edits a diagram. For example the main diagram may be a network diagram which displays users/groups which has access to a particular share, and also whatever sub folders inthat share they have access to. Then I would have other functions which could be accessed by clicking on the individual objects to bring up other diagrams etc. Are there any libraries available for C# which allow for creation of dynamic diagrams? Iv'e found a number of different diagram creating software such as Nevron Diagram for .NET http://www.vicman.net/getfree/Diagram-for-NET_27977s.html But iv'e struggled to identify if it's possible to create and edit diagrams within C#.Net and dynamically update them. Even if they only provide so much that I can add I imagine I could try and adapt and add my own functions. Other diagrams I may need to create dynamically may be a time line with text entries for particular points. Thanks!

Thank for all the replies guys, i'm looking into all your suggestions and found a few solutions to finding out what computer a user is on. I found an oddly simple method that involves going into the Computer Management window, then going System Tools/Shared Folders/Sessions and then finding the user and the corresponding computer next to it, though apparently it sometimes gives an IP instead of a host name. But you have to look through the list manually, so I suppose that doesn't help too much but does mean that I could gather this information somehow via command line maybe, or via Microsoft's PsLoggonOn library you can download. If you have more i'll happily read them!

Greetings! I'm in my final year at University (Nottingham Trent , In the UK) and i'm doing a project about displaying useful information for system administrators about the domain system. As part of my research I need to identify issues that system administrators have in their environment that oculd be solved by the collection of information about the domain(s) and then compiled in the form of a visual diagram or interface. I'd really appreciate any input that anyone might have about their issues. One suggestion from one of my colleagues in the system administration field suggested a system which pings all the machiens on the domain and keeps track of them, and then alerts you if they can't be for a certain peroid. Thanks! Edit: Sorry just to confirm, i'm looking for problems that system administrators have with their domain systems. Thanks
