    - .net windows service using alot of Paged pool Hi We have a windows service implemented in C# that will call some legacy VB6 COM objects. This is a memory intensive application that will create alot of objects but looking at the memory and virtual memory footprint it will remain under the 70meg level. On the other hand the Paged pool will keep going up and up. What would be the cause of this? Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228598

    - Tool To Create Function Map Of C#.NET Project In Visual Studio 200 I've been assigned to an existing project to assist with some customization requirements, but most of the documententation is in Japanese and very lacking in useful pictures or diagrams. What I'd like to do is create a function map which includes a list of which assemblies/members contain a call to another assembly/member, or reference, or method, or whatever-they-are-called. That way, if I see something like SecurityManager.ChangeBilingalMode (sic), I have some clue as to where that call originated. Is there something included with VS2005 that does this, or maybe one of the Office 2007 products? Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228593

    - DLLs and Embedded Resources Hi, I was designing an application which is intended to run in the background, and I was wondering about how I should load my resources to reduce the memory footprint. I was thinking of keeping all the embedded resources in a DLL, so that they only get loaded when needed. So my question is this: if your application references a library, does the library get loaded into memory at startup, or only when its used? There really isn't much point in keeping the resources seperate otherwise, since it complicates the code slightly. Thanks for your help. Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228569

So it's all connected but the display on the TV is just rolling lines as though it is scrambled. On the monitor setting, the refresh rate is stuck on 25Hertz Interlaced. Is there a way of forcing a higher refresh rate? or is there another setting I need to change? I have been seraching for months for an answer to this question. HELP PLEASE!

    - Typed datasets and table table adapters components not showing in Typed datasets and table table adapters components not showing in Toolbox Hi, I have a solution with several projects. One project contains datasets with table adapters. When I opened a usercontrol in design mode, it used to have all datasets and tableadapters in toolbox, under a tab name with the name of the datasets project However, I had to upgrate to a new hdd, and did a clean Windows install, with VS2005, etc Now, when I open te solution and open a usercontrol in designer, I see only the other user controls, but no datasets or table adapters as I used to have before. Sometimes I see a tab with the name of the datasets project, but on it there is a text telling "There are no usable controls in this group" What happend? I mention, on old HDD I had instaled VS2003 and VS2005, on new one I have only VS2005 and installed VS2008 express, but then I removed it (as I thought maybe it caused the issue). I even uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2005, with no luck. Can anyone helo me with this? Thank you Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228563

    - 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: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path 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: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path 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: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path 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: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path 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.

Does anyone know if the registry or any other system files need cleaning out, and if so please could they suggest any useful advice on where to obtain this information. Many thanks in advance Terry Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228486

    - How is this done? There are a few apps out that allow a user to mouseover a webpage and the app highlights the portion (be it a DIV, cell, table, whatever) of the webpage that the mouse is over by placing a colored box around it and allows the user to select this portion. One such app is an addon for Firefox called clipmarks. You can see a demo at http://clipmarks.com/how-to-clip/. How would I do the same thing in .Net, using the webcontrol? Do I need a special webcontrol? jim Tag: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228480

    - Detect IE7 7.0.5730.11 vs IE7 7.0.6000.16609 Very weird page display going on. //XP Pro IE 7.0.5730.11 Page displays as designed //Vista IE 7.0.6000.16609 Page is FUBAR BrowserCapabilities returns 0 for MinorVersion as expected. How would you detect the third octet (6000) when using IE7 in Vista? I'd detect Vista itself but that would lead to unreliability as its called WinNT (as I recall) so I'll build yet another stylesheet if someone can give me a tip on how to grab that octet.

    - 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?

    - Problem creating an BitmapSource from an HBitmap in threaded code I am building a high-performance multi-threaded application. I am making the following call in the code to convert a rasterized bitmap to a bitmap source. BitmapSource pageImageSource = Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap( bitmapHandle, IntPtr.Zero, Int32Rect.Empty, BitmapSizeOptions.FromEmptyOptions()); Based on the documentation and lack of comments, I was assuming the method was thread safe, however, I start getting exceptions after about 48 hours of operation at full load in my development area. The following exception is caught: Exception occurred: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The system cannot find the file specified at MS.Win32.UnsafeNativeMethods.RegisterClassEx(WNDCLASSEX_D wc_d) at MS.Win32.HwndWrapper..ctor(Int32 classStyle, Int32 style, Int32 exStyle, Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 width, Int32 height, String name, IntPtr parent, HwndWrapperHook[] hooks) at System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher..ctor() at System.Windows.Freezable..ctor() at System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource..ctor(Boolean useVirtuals) at System.Windows.Interop.InteropBitmap..ctor(IntPtr hbitmap, IntPtr hpalette, Int32Rect sourceRect, BitmapSizeOptions sizeOptions, WICBitmapAlphaChannelOption alphaOptions) at System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CriticalCreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(IntPtr bitmap, IntPtr palette, Int32Rect sourceRect, BitmapSizeOptions sizeOptions, WICBitmapAlphaChannelOption alphaOptions) at System.Windows.Interop.Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHBitmap(IntPtr bitmap, IntPtr palette, Int32Rect sourceRect, BitmapSizeOptions sizeOptions) at .... Is my initial assumption about the thread-safety of the method correct? I would hate to put a mutex around the code but I can if need be. Is there another way to cause this exception to go away?

    - 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: Environment.GetFolderPath returns wrong path Tag: 228445

I have an application that during installation access the My Documents path.
I am using Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)
+ restOfPath ) to get the path to the file in question. This works fine
most of the time. The only time it fails is when the My Documents is
recirected using group policy. In this case, the method continues to return
a local path instead of the correct network path.

Does anyone know a way around this issue?
