In library-load-dbg-flags the code I posted requires one to run it as as admin. Now how do you detect that you need to run as an admin from code is the question i was pondering about.
With C#
it is quite easy to detect whether you have admin priviledges or not:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
| private bool IsRunAsAdmin()
{
try
{
WindowsIdentity id = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal(id);
return principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator);
}
catch (Exception)
{
return false;
}
}
|
Now, the question is about relaunching on detecting. Following code should do it:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

private void AdminRelauncher()
{
if (!IsRunAsAdmin())
{
ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
proc.UseShellExecute = true;
proc.WorkingDirectory = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
proc.FileName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().CodeBase;
proc.Verb = "runas";
try
{
Process.Start(proc);
Application.Current.Shutdown(0);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("This program must be run as an administrator! \n\n" + ex.ToString());
}
}
else
{
SetupFlags = true;
}
}

With above functions and code from last post, one can easily roll out an utility that can set/reset GlobalFlag for library load snaps debugging..
