    - how to play MP3 files Hi, I need to play MP3 files from my .NET 2.0 SP1 C# WinForm app. I tried referencing Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback; and creating Audio class for playback. But I get the following error which is beyod my ability to comprehend. [ DLL 'C:\WINDOWS\assembly\GAC\Microsoft.DirectX\1.0.2902.0__31bf3856ad364e35\Microsoft.DirectX.dll' is attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang. ] How do I do this.

    - .NET and Directory Services Some time back I had to create a utility application for a customer. Their preferred development tool was Delphi and I was able to retrieve a list of all accessable domains (including current forest sub domains and extra forest domains) like this: var dn: DirectoryEntry; en: IEnumerator; begin FStatusDisplay.Panels[1].Text := 'Domain Acquisition In Progress...'; dn:= DirectoryEntry.Create('WinNT:'); en := dn.Children.GetEnumerator; if en<>nil then while en.MoveNext do try FDomainList.Add( TDomainObjectClass.Create(DirectoryEntry(en.Current).Name.Trim, FComputerDisplay)); FDomainCount := FDomainList.Count; except end; en := nil; dn.Free; I have been trying to reproduce this using C# but have not been able to. The best results are that I acquire ONLY the domain that I belong to. I would like to get a list of ALL available domains including Forest sub-domains and Extra-Forest domains. Can anybody help?

    - Reporting Services Report Model I am trying to build a query tool that works like the sql server 2005 report builder connected to a report model. But instead of building a report, I want the tool to design sql queries based on a report model. I would like for the users to select items from the model, apply filters, grouping... then execute the query returning the result set into a grid. The tool will then use the result set returned to do other things such as loading into sql db. Anyone have any ideas on where to start?

    - Framework installation I'm not sure if this should go in FAQs or general. I have a home network with a primary domain controller running Windows 2000 Server. It has .NET framework v 1.1 on it, and IIS 5 (probably 5.0). I also have a workstation running XP Pro, Visual Studio 2005 with .NET framework 2.0, and IIS 5.1 I have a web application I've developed there, and I'm trying to install it on the server. When I try to run it on server, it immediately throws an exception trying to read the web.config file, saying it doesn't recognize the <connectionstring> element. So I figure, Okay, it's running framework v1.1, that's probably a v2.0 thing. So I download the Framework 2.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft website, and install it on the server, including running the SP1 update. But it doesn't seem to be installed. There's now a v2_0 folder in the \Winnt\Microsoft.Net\Framework directory tree, but IIS is still runing v1.1 (as evidenced by the Version information when it throws the exception). Also, when I run administrative tools on the workstation, there's a "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 configuration" MSC, as well as one for v1.1 and v1.0. Running administrative tools on the server still only has the v1.1 configuration tool, and a search of the whole disk for .MSC files does not turn up a 2.0 configuration MSC. So what do I need to do to make sure 2.0 is properly installed, and specifically, to get IIS to use it? Thanks for any help. Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228535

    - Diagnostic "pins" with .NET? Hi all, Just a quick question as I'm not entirely certain what phrase to google for as all attempts so far have failed to illicit anything useful, and the best anaology I can think of comes from hardware :-) I'm curious as to whether there's some form of API in .NET that's the software equivalent of diagnostic pins on a circuit board? Essentially I'm want to have a bucket I can throw diagnostic message into in a fire-and-forget method, and not care whether there's something looking at the bucket (connected to the pin) or not. If nothing's listening, the message gets forgotten about. Ideally it needs to be lightweight with little latency -- the intention is to use the 'pin' as a performance diagnostic, so in normal situations, nothing would be connected. If there are problems, then we can attach to the pin and read timestamp messages. An event queue would be no good: queue would eventually fill-up and hang the code, unless there was extra logic in the code to clean the queue up, which could start getting messy. Performance counters won't really work either as that then requires a large chunk of logic to keep track of individual entities in order to create an "average latency" counter. Essentially it's analogous to attaching an oscilloscope to a circuit board and looking at the latency of stuff between two pins on a chip, etc. I suppose shared memory might be one possible solution, but I understand there's no CLR wrappers for shared memory (excluding third party extensions). If anyone's got ideas or pointers, I'd be grateful to hear them. Cheers, Chris Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228529

    - MSI Packages and XML Configuaration Files Hi, I have a Solution File which has many projects which has many config files. My current config files have my development environment details. Each time we buld an MSI we change these settings to be the production server details. More times these are set incorrectly as there are so many settings in each file. What I would like is to have a copy of the live config files in VSS or some other location so that these are the config files taht are used when building an MSI and not the ones in my projects that have the development environment details. This way there are no changes required and hence no chance of a developer inputting the wrong details. Anyone know how I can do this or any other suggestions. Thanks in Advance.

    - WCF + net.tcp binding + certificates = Communication object is in the Hi All. We are recently in my company working on a large system. It is suppose to have 3 layers (presentation - ASP.NET, middle - WCF server, and data - Oracle). As you can see, middle layer, WCF server, is suppose to separate database from potentially untrusted ASP server. To provide security to web server - WCF server (called AppServer) connection and make it as fast, as possible, we decided to use net.tcp protocol/binding for communication. As we know, this protocol is encrypted as default. One can choose either Windows Authentication, user/pass or certificates. User/Pass is good... but it has no use for package level encryption (one should still provide some way to encrypt package, usually by X509 certificate). Windows authentication can't be used, as target company has no windows domain server. Certificates are the only option. After 2 days of struggle with certificates (multiple "how to" pages and blogs, all showing different way how to do it, or how generate certificate for development use, usually doesn't working or suitable only for solutions where both server and client are on the same machine) I figured out how to do it (thanks MitchDanny for this post: http://notgartner.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/using-certificate-based-authentication-and-protection-with-windows-communication-foundation-wcf/ ). Well, it almost works. I switched certificate related errors to a different ones. Whole solution was working fine, without certificates, on one machine. Now it acts weird (still on one machine). One test method works, the other, much more important, throws infamous "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings`1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSessionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state" Certificates generated using command lines: makecert.exe -pe -ss My -sr LocalMachine -a sha1 -sky exchange -n CN=ServerSide makecert.exe -pe -ss My -sr LocalMachine -a sha1 -sky exchange -n CN=ClientSide then exported and imported to "Trusted People" storage, under "Local Machine" registry.

If I invoke client.HelloWorld() method, I get "Hello World!", as I was suppose to. But whenever I invoke either client.GetData() or client.GetDataAsXml(), it is invoked on server side (I get server debug console message), but nothing is returned and exception is thrown on client side. Exception: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings`1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSessionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state I guess, everyone who had anything to do with WCF knows this exception. It covers any useful data, showing nothing (inner exception is empty, of course). I guess, it has to do something with security (general SecuritySessionClientSettings class), but maybe I missed something (like some special attributes in contract or some ServiceContractAttribute or OperationContractAttribute parameters). If anybody had such a situation and found a solution, please, share it with me (and others seeking help). -- WolfMoon Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228526

    - Architecture decision - should components communicate via the DB? I have decided on a basic architechture to quickly refactor two processing functions of my winforms application until we get the chance to rewrite it. Basically it will consist of 2 applications:- 1. A service running on the server to take jobs from a queue table in a SQL database, perform the job (could be 1 minute or up to an hour or more) and write the results back to the database. 2. A .NET web application to submit the job requests into the queue table. (Initially a combo box with a button marked "Process".) One thing we hope to achieve with this is I would like to keep the door open to have multiple servers all processing simultaneously should that become necessary (as we hope it will!). Another thing is decoupling of the components - eg the server crashes and it (or other servers) will continue to process jobs on restart as they are queued safely in the database, while clients can continue to submit jobs and perform other work. My question is, should I worry about giving feedback to the client application and if so how? Two alternatives with minimal overheads might be 1. Email the client to say "Your job has completed". 2. Write progress info to the database for the web app to pickup and display back to the client Given the jobs could run a long time and the user may just wish to close the browser and move on, is it worth writing code (and processing overhead) to inform him of progress with one of the one minute type jobs? Your thoughts on this question or the architecture decisions in general would be much appreciated. cheers, Paul. Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228511

    - App.Config - Saving Configuration Error Hello, I have been searching the net, MSDN, google groups and can't seem to find anything about what is happening to me. I have developed a application using VB.Net 2.0 and deploy it using ClickOnce over a private network. I use AppSettings.Get("") to retrieve values form my app.config and I use AppSettigns.Settigns("").value = value to set values. This has been working fine for a long time (10 months). All of a sudden I am now coming across errors when I try to save the configuration. This is how I save it: Dim config As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None) config.AppSettings.Settings("").Value = newValue '9-12 more settings set ' Save app.Config file config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full, True) When I call this method I get a "An extension of name 'clientCredentials' already appears.. Extension names must be unique... line 237" At line 237 is information that is not in my normal app.Config file when i develop. My Config file is less that 100 lines. It seems the .net framework uses the app.Config for it's own settings also. The 'clientCredentials' is found in a section below my "AppSettings" in a tag <system.serviceModel> <extensions> <behaviorExtensions> <add name='clientCredentionsl.....> I have no idea where this came form or why it would try to create a send one or what but I have no idea what to do or proceed.

    - Fast way to determine if a string contains a member of a list of strings I need to find the fastest way in terms of storage and searching to determine if a given string contains one of a member of a list of strings. So, think of it in terms of this: I have a string such as the following: "Smith said the dog belongs (or did belong) to the secretary, an employee of the company." Then the list contains the following (and this list is MUCH larger in the real situation): Adams Alan Jones Jacobs Smith Thaxton Vela Zulu I would need to stop the processing and return (true) as soon as Smith was found. On the other hand, if the string was changed to the following, there would be no match and I would return (false): "Smitherson said the dog belongs (or did belong) to the secretary, an employee of the company." In the given string, do know that the matches should begin at a given point (zero position), but I need to keep processing until I have exhausted the candidate string in the list - as shown above - to prevent a false match. I have played around with some different data structures, such as prefix and suffix trees, an these work in the case that you have a string that you are trying to match in a list, not vice versa. The approach is required to be very performant because it will be evaluated millions of times. I am also okay with an unsafe code approach that works. I just need the evaluations to terminate as soon as possible rather than looping through every single item in the list. Even an IndexOf is too slow.

    - VS2005 Setup Project File with Property 'Permanent' is uninstalled Hi, I'm working with VS2005 and I have a setup project that installs a Windows forms application. I have a config file ( it's the app.config file - MyApp.exe.config) which I want to leave on the target system if the application is uninstalled. In the Setup Project File System designer I set the "permanent" property of this file to "True", which should leave the file installed if the user uninstalls the application. However if I uninstall the application using the setup.exe generated by the setup project it removes this file. Am I doing something wrong?

    - Localization of custom DLLs. Hi. I am developing a DLL that will be used by localizable applications. The code of this DLL has some text that is send to the client applications. I am creating some resource files for this DLL and when I compile it, VS.NET creates a bunch of resource.dll files for the project one for each language I need to support. So, when I distribute this DLL to my developers, will I have to distribute those resource.dll files as well? Is there any way to encapsulate all of them inside a single dll?

    - WPF ListView focus problem. Hi everyone! I have some strange behavior of ListView control in WPF. We are developing application in C#. I created ListView with some items and set SelectedIndex to some index in the middle of its list. Then I clicked mouse at any place on the ListView and then navigate with Up/Dows keyboard keys, everything works perfectly. But If I move focus to another control and then tries to set focus back to ListView control programmatically, then I'm getting the problem. The ListView gets the focus, but when Iâ??m trying to navigate with the keyboard, current selection will be canceled and the first item will be selected and navigation will start from the first item in list. I'm setting focus to ListView control by calling to its .Focus() method. It looks like even ListView control in focus, but no items actually in focus, even if SelectedIndex has some valid values. Please, help me! How can I set focus to ListView control programmatically to prevent such behavior? Thanks! Igor. Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228445

    - Multi-dimensional ArrayList to ListBox with values I'm trying to create a listbox that displays a list of user names, and has a value (not displayed) of the users DN. I'm querying LDAP for the info, and if I just populate the listbox directly with the text/value pair, it works PERFECTLY. lstGAL2.Items.Add(new ListItem(entryResult2.Properties["displayName"].Value.ToString() + "(" + entryResult2.Properties["mail"].Value.ToString() + ")", //entryResult2.Properties["distinguishedName"].Value.ToString())); Unfortunately I need to sort the data, so I'm modifying the code to write the username and DN to an ArrayList first. Then I sort the list, and then set the ListBox.DataSource = the ArrayList. ArrayList list = new ArrayList(); ... list.Add(new ListItem(entryResult2.Properties["displayName"].Value.ToString() + "(" + entryResult2.Properties["mail"].Value.ToString() + ")", entryResult2.Properties["distinguishedName"].Value.ToString())); I used to be able to access the value by looking at the SelectedValue of my listbox, but now that doesn't work. search.Filter = ("(distinguishedName=" + ListBox.SelectedValue.ToString() + ")"); When I look at the contents of the ArrayList when I set it as the listbox's data source, it has the values in it. I'm VERY new to this (sorry), and can't figure out how to be able to pull the values from the listbox now (if they get copied over in the first place. If I try to query for the selectedValue, I just get the user name (selected text.) Any hints as to what I'm doing wrong are GREATLY appreciated. Like I said, I'm new to this (and am reading quite a few books, and trying a LOT of code out to fix that), so a little extra explination in your answer is appreciated. THANKS!

    - ADO.Net / Multiple SQL Statements in One Command I'm writing an application to assist in the deployment of some complex database schema out of a working DDL script that has already been generated. We're targeting SQL 2000 and 2005, and the script runs fine now inside Query Analyzer / Management Studio. It's *long* though, and creates thousands of objects (stored procs, tables, views) and hundreds of rows of pre-populated data (just lots of inserts after the tables are created). Is there a way I can run this giant script using System.Data.SqlClient? I attempted a simple example and SqlConnection and SqlCommand choke on anything with "GO" in it since it's not actually T-SQL. Am I really going to have to try to intelligently divide this file up by "GO" statements into individual SQL commands and run them individually or is there some other way to execute batch statements?

    - CreateProcessWithLogonW Hello Everyone, I have a C# component that is referenced by a VB6 standard executable. The C# component has a method LaunchProcess that subsequently makes an API call to CreateProcessWithLogonW in the advapi32 library. This is used to shell open an external application such as Excel or Word with alternate credentials than the logged in user. I am encountering an issue where Excel and Word are initialized and show up as processes for the impersonated user, but I am unable to interact with the document. This only occurs in my target application, my stripped down test application behaves as expected. I am hoping someone has an idea of where to look. The calls are identical, and only the target application has more bells and whistles on it. I apologize if this post is rather large; I just wanted you all to have as much information you needed. Again, this logic all works from a simple VB6 application (Form1, Button1_Click) and is giving me fits in the main application. The main application has timers and back end processing going at the same time. I figured having the document opened asynchronously would be my redemption. The functionality is new to the old VB6 application and new features are implemented in .Net until everything is in .Net. I am fairly confident that .Net is not my issue here. But who knows after spending three days solid on this, I am not sure that I even have the correct API signature anymore. In the VB6 code I have [Reference to C# TLB] Const DocumentName as string = \\uncpath\document.doc Dim Executable as string * 255 Dim CleanExecutable as string Dim i as Long Dim objLauncher As DonNetCOM.Launcher Set objLauncher = new DonNetCOM.Launcher i = FindExecutable(DocumentName, "", Executable) 'Assuming FindExecutable always worked CleanExecutable = TrimNulls(Executable) Call objLauncher.

    - WPF - Binding IsEnabled property doesnt evaluate until DataContext I have a "Save Changes" button on the form. I'm binding its IsEnabled property to a property of the object that I'm dealing with. When I connect the panel the buttons are in with an object (set the DataContext when the user selects an object from a list), the buttons correctly evaluate. When I tweak the property in the object, the notification is correctly evaluated and the button's state changes as expected. When I first load the form, however, the button is enabled. Setting the DataContext to null on window load doesn't do the trick. Is there a way around this, or do I need to set the property to Disabled and then use a data trigger to flip it when the property goes positive? Surely, the simple binding is attractive, but only if I can get to work. Tag: Difference between VS 2005 and VS 2005 Express Tag: 228407

    - WPF: Detect Screen Resolution Change (without constantly polling SystemParameters)? Hello Friend, I need to take a particular non-UI-related action when the user changes the screen resolution. How can I detect when the screen resolution is changed by the user? Here's my first approach. I created an internal class called ScreenSize that exposes a dependency property called ScreenWidth: internal class ScreenSizeependencyObject{ public DependencyProperty ScreenWidthProperty=DependencyProperty.Register("ScreenWidth",typeof(double),typeof(ScreenSize),new PropertyMetadata(new PropertyChangedCallback(OnScreenWidthChanged))); public double ScreenWidth{ get{return (double)this.GetValue(ScreenWidthProperty);} set{this.SetValue(ScreenWidthProperty,value);} } private static void OnScreenWidthChanged(DependencyObject d,DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e){ Debug.Print("Changed"); } } ..and then I defined an instance of this class in the resources section of the XAML file for my application: <ResourceDictionary> <aiacreenSize x:Key="ScreenSize" ScreenWidth="{DynamicResource {xtatic SystemParameters.PrimaryScreenWidthKey}}"/> </ResourceDictionary> My expectation was that OnScreenWidthChanged() would be called whenever the user manually changes the resolution. The reality, however, is that OnScreenWidthChanged() is called once at startup and then never again -- even if the screen resolution is manually changed. Do you have an alternate approach?

Which Express Edition? VB, VC, VC#, Web?
As the express editions use the full .NET Framework class hierarchy, you
should not encounter problems using the classes that support multithreading.

No difference, with respect to the .NET framework, for threading.

Express does not support (for example) creating projects for Compact
Framework devices, which requires Standard Edition or higher -- just as one
limitaton.
