    - Opening an MSAccess DB I am struggling with some MSAccess automation issues. Basically, we have a .Net application that uses MSAccess for reporting (legacy code). We are able to launch MSAccess fine and even work with the MSAccess COM objects to run our reports (using GetObject(<MDB Path>) - see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;317113&Product=vbNET for info on how to do this). The problem that we are running into is that if our Access database is already opened, we want to use it instead of opening up another instance. I've included the code I've got so far in case it helps with the problem. The problem line of code is in ValidateAccessHandle (the exact line is - mAccessHandle = GetObject(imsAppConfig.DefaultMainMenuMDB)). If this line is commented out and an instance of MSAccess is already running with our database, a new MSAccess window will be launched, but the original MSAccess window will be returned from GetObject(<MDB Path>). If we leave it in, on some machines, if MSAccess isn't running, it will create an instance without the window. Since we need pass MSAccess command-line parameters, this doesn't work for us (also, a report tends to be more interesting when you can see it :). Any help is appreciated, thanks! Private Function ValidateAccessHandle() As Boolean If mAccessHandle Is Nothing Then Try ' Check to see if there is an orphaned window. ' If we don't check, we'll end up opening another window, but using the existing one anyway. mAccessHandle = GetObject(imsAppConfig.DefaultMainMenuMDB) If mAccessHandle Is Nothing Then Return False Catch ex As Exception ' On some machines, GetObject throws an untyped exception when the file is not found. mAccessHandle = Nothing Return False End Try End If Try mAccessHandle.run("") Return True Catch ex As System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException When ex.ErrorCode = -2146820336 Debug.Assert(ex.Message = "You made an illegal function call.", "Unexpected error message.", String.Format("The message for this exception was expected to be 'You made an illegal function call.' but was actually '{0}'", ex.Message)) ' The Access window was closed normally (reproducable by closing Access) and we need to reopen it. mAccessHandle = Nothing Return False Catch ex As System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException When ex.ErrorCode = -2147023174 Debug.Assert(ex.Message = "The RPC server is unavailable. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706BA)", "Unexpected error message.", String.Format("The message for this exception was expected to be 'The RPC server is unavailable.

    - Compare timespan of Files? II want to compare how many seconds there are between files. If the files are within a 1 - 10 second range I want to copy them to their own folders. What I have so far is a couple methods that take in all the files in a directory / subdirectories and sort them by their lastWriteTime stamp: Dim flist As List(Of System.IO.FileInfo) Private Sub writeDirectories(ByVal ParentPath As String) For Each sDirectory As String In System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(ParentPath) flist.AddRange(New DirectoryInfo(sDirectory).GetFiles()) writeDirectories(sDirectory) Next End Sub Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load flist = New List(Of System.IO.FileInfo) writeDirectories("C:\Documents and Settings\ddivita\My Documents") flist.Sort(AddressOf SortByLastWriteTime) End Sub Private Function SortByLastWriteTime(ByVal x As System.IO.FileInfo, ByVal y As System.IO.FileInfo) As Integer Return x.LastWriteTime.CompareTo(y.LastWriteTime) End Function I then want to take the flist and compare the TimeSpan between files. Here is an example: File1 - TimeStamp - 5:16:46 File2 - TimeStamp - 5:16:50 File3 - TimeStamp - 5:16:54 File4 - TimeStamp - 3:56:37 File5 - TimeStamp - 3:56:42 I realize I would need to compare file1 to file2, then file2 to file3, and so on. I figure I could use the timespan class to help with this. Any ideas? Thanks Daniel Tag: simulate continuous forms & subforms in a windows forms application Tag: 230065

    - setting a connection string for a Windows Service on production Feel free to let me know if there is a better place to post this question I'm a website developer trying to write a Windows Service, and I think I'm running into trouble due to the paradigm shift. In website development, I change the web.config file on the fly without re-building a project. How does this work with the app.config in a Windows Service? It seems like when I update a ConnectionString in app.config after rolling to a production server, it doesn't take. Does app.config get complied into the executable on build so that I can't change it on the fly? If so, how would I set it up to be able to configure the db connection string on the production server?

    - (apparent) Marshalling related problem in x64 but works in x86 Hi, I'm pretty sure I've just got a Marshalling problem, but I'm completely stumped. If there is a better newsgroup to post this in, please point me towards it. First I'm trying to use SendMessage() with WM_COPYDATA to send a string data between two instances of a program. As part of the debugging I've written two methods one where a given instance will obtain its own hWnd and send itself the message, one where it accepts obtains the hWnd of the other instance and sends it to the other one. Both methods work fine when compiled as x86. And the send-to-itself works on x64, but the send-to-another-instance breaks... the WM_COPYDATA message is sent, and received, but I'm unable to read back the string data. I *think* its a marshalling problem related to changes with x64. But I'm not sure. Here are the relevant bits: // The COPYDATA structure used for the WM_COPYDATA message: [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public struct COPYDATASTRUCT { [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] public int dwData; // not used [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] public int cbData; // holds length of string [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] public string lpData; //holds string } //DLL Import of SendMessage [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)] private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int Msg, IntPtr wParam, ref COPYDATASTRUCT lParam); //The function that sends the message: public static IntPtr SendCopyDataMessage(IntPtr toHandle) { int messageid = 1234; // random message id stringdata = "Testing\0"; // send the string "Testing" // Create/populate the copydata structure. COPYDATASTRUCT dataStruct = new COPYDATASTRUCT(); dataStruct.dwData = 0; //not used dataStruct.cbData = stringdata.Length; dataStruct.lpData = stringdata; // Make the call IntPtr result = SendMessage(toHandle, WM_COPYDATA, messageid, ref dataStruct); return result; } The WndProc that receives the messages is an override of Form.WndProc: // Process Custom Messages! protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if (m.Msg == WM_COPYDATA) { // unpack the data string stringdata = ProcessWM_COPYDATA(m); // show what it was if (stringdata != null) { MessageBox.Show(stringdata); } } base.WndProc(ref m); } The function it calls to unpack the COPYDATA structure is as follows: public static string ProcessWM_COPYDATA(System.Windows.Forms.Message m) { if (m.WParam.ToInt32() == 1234) { COPYDATASTRUCT datastruct = (COPYDATASTRUCT)Marshal.PtrToStructure( m.LParam, typeof(COPYDATASTRUCT)); return datastruct.lpData; } return null; } } As I said: It works when targeted at x86. In x64 it also works when I fire the send message at the same instance. (e.g. I have a button on the form that calls the SendCopyData(...) with its own window handle. The only time it doesn't work is when I have 2nd instance running and it calls SendCopyData(...) with the hWnd of the OTHER instance. In that case the message is received, and the MessageBox is displayed, but instead of saying testing its either blank or contains garbage data. I'd be grateful if someone can point out where I've screwed it up. As I said, I think its in marshalling/unmarshalling the lpData string, but I'm at a loss to fix it. I've tried doing it a number of ways, including setting lpData in COPYDATASTRUCTURE to an IntPtr, and then manually calling Marshal.StringToHGlobal(stringdata); and then when unpacking it, calling Marshal.PtrToString(lpData), but I end up with the same behaviour... breaking in x64. -best regards, Dave Tag: simulate continuous forms & subforms in a windows forms application Tag: 230015

    - typed datasets vs. business objects I'm trying to decide if it is better to use typed datasets or business objects, so I would appreciate any thoughts from someone with more experience. When I use a business object to populate a gridview, for example, I loop through a datareader, populating an array list with instances of a custom class in the middle tier, and then send the array list up to the presentation layer and bind the gridview to it. If I use a typed dataset, I just fill it with a data adapter and then bind it to the gridview. It seems like the typed dataset would be more efficient, because I don't have to loop through anything. But typed datasets are aggravating, because it seems like they have to be defined all the way down at the data access layer to be accessible in a n-tier solution. They clutter up my solution. Business objects seem tidier, and seem more professional, but are they as efficient, with all the looping required?

    - Alternate Function for CreateFile on .NET Framework,... Hi all, sorry for Crossposting, but i dont know whether someone can help me here. If i remember right, there was a Class or a Member function in the .NET Framework that could do mostly the same as CreateFile can do for me, but i cant remember its Name. By saying the "same" i mean i was able to use it to open Handles to Devices and anything that could be opened with CreateFile and had a Symbolic Name that has been exported from Kernel to User-Space. But i cant remember the class/member name. I am sure there was something inside the .NET FW and natively supported by the .NET. AFAIK it was also something MS used internally in its base classes, but it was exposed to any programmer and was public/static or whatever available from the CLR/.NET. I really cant remember its name, but i used something in the past years ago for opening something, if i remember right to a drive. I think i used it the first time with .NET 2.0... Anybody can help me here, or am i remembering something wrong?

    - WebService and Timeout Hi. I'm dealing with scenario when call to any web method ends up with timeout and I try to add the user a chance to retry (wait a little bit) My service proxy code looks like this: AsyncCallback cb = new AsyncCallback(ServiceCallback); IAsyncResult result1 = BeginInvoke(methodName, parameters, cb, this); if(result1.IsCompleted == false) { while(true) { bTO = result1.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne(Timeout, true); if(bTO == false)//time out occured { //display window and ask the user to wait a moment, user press OK when it sure that web method finished } if(result1.IsCompleted) break; } object[] ret = EndInvoke(result1);// error every time when time out occured (bTO = false) } My scenario is following: 1. BeginInvoke initialize asynch web method call 2. WaitOne waits for Timeout miliseconds 3. WaitOne returns false because timeout occured, and wait screen is displayed. When user close it the web methos is finished. 4. result1.IsCompleted is true so I expect that EndInvoke shall return the results but it throws excpetion "timeout" !!!. Why? Everything works fine if timeout doesn't occure. Thanks for any advise Shark Tag: simulate continuous forms & subforms in a windows forms application Tag: 229954

In all the there projects I am havaing a resouce file named resouce.resx (Defaul file created by VS 2005) and all the three projects are NOT intended to be Multi-Linugal. These 3 resouce files are mainly used to take the messages and display it to the user instead of hard-coding it. I have referred the XXX.ActiveComponent.ACInteractive dll in XXX.Biz dll I have referred the XXX.ActiveComponent.ACInteractive dll and XXX.BIZ dll in XXX.Win application. Few weeks back it was running well without any issues. But now I am getting this error called System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException with the following description while accessing the resouce file.in XXX.ActiveComponent.ACInteractive dll. "Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "XXX.Biz.Resources.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "ActiveComponent" at compile time, or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed." Can anyone help me out on how to resolve this issue? Thanks and Regards, Peri Tag: simulate continuous forms & subforms in a windows forms application Tag: 229935

    - XP Home Boot Loop Working on a computer with XP Home Edition. Suspected virus activity. Loaded AV & AS programs and ran scans. Deleted a lot of spyware, Trojans and virus'. Rebooted and working fine. Did MS update for IE7 and about 7-8 other items. After update, was asked to reboot. Now, box is locked in a boot loop. I have tried going into Last Known Good, Safe Mode and Safe Mode with Networking. Nothing will let me in, stuck in loop. I have booted from XP disk and ran CHKDSK /r and repaired. STILL loops. I ran it in Safe Mode with Command Prompt and it stops at the Drivers\Mup.sys screen before rebooting. This tells me I have a bad driver load during the MS update. HOW do I get rid of this loop, reset my driver files or reset XP to original without losing the rest of the files, programs and configuration? TAOT.

    - Considering .NET, a few questions Hi all, My company is looking to convert our current Delphi (Win32) application to a web based app. I'm looking into either ASP .NET via C# or PHP. Our current app would best be described as a membership and pos system. We access printers, scanners, barcode readers, cameras, etc. I've already read the multitude of articles regarding ASP vs PHP, so I'm not questioning that so much. I'm more interested in finding out what I need to know before starting this project. 1. I'm looking for a good class in ASP .NET / C#. I'm located in South Florida and have only been able to find classes by a company name HOTT (Hands On Technology Training). Can't really find much info on them, so I don't think it's a good idea to start there. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I don't have a problem traveling, and wouldn't mind an online course, as long as I have the ability to communicate with an instructor and other participants. I feel I learn more from talking to other developers than just following a course outline. 2. Can anyone recommend any links with articles about moving to a web based app? IE. security considerations, server requirements, etc. 3. Any database recommendations? We're currently using Interbase. I'd really like to make sure that this move is executed with the broadest knowledge possible. I'm very concerned about security issues since we store banking & personal information. I'm looking to launch the app in it's 'own' browser outside of the regular tabbed browsing environment. I'd much rather get it right the first time, as opposed to realizing too late that I'm headed down the wrong path. So, any suggestions on where I should start? Areas I need to put more focus on? I know this is kind of a general question, but this is new territory for me. Seems like there are a lot of things to consider. TIA!

    - Limiting the amount of Text within a Text Box I am building a template which has an area for the user to type in whatever information is needed (a form, narrative, whatever). However, I have a limited amount of space on the 1st page of the form. I have tried using a cell with exact measurements and I have tried using a text box (but you can't set permissions on linked text boxes and this "open space" is the only place a user is allowed to type in information. Does anyone know of a way to prevent the typist from continuing to type once the border of the cell or text box has been reached? Both the cell and text box allow the typist to keep typing although you can no longer see the information being typed in.

    - ClickOnce exception in IE Our app uses the following chain of urls: 1. yoursite.com/launch.php?room=00000271 - validates the roomid appends an appropriate server variable and encrypts and adds a hash and sends on to #2 2. mysite.com/launch.php decodes the encryption and compares hash for alteration. Re-encodes and redirects to #3 3. clickonceinstaller.application?encoded variables here All redirects are done with: header("Cache-Control: no-cache"); header("Pragma: no-cache"); header('Location: ' . $url); If I open IE and type in the starting link I get the clickonce app with no problems. If I leave the browser open and do it again (type in the url) I get: Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Details reveal: the manifest may not be valid or the file could not be opened. + There are multiple root elements. Line 1, position 122. And I notice that I get a HTTP response of 206 instead of 200. Any ideas?

    - Possessed pointer My pointer has suddenly become possessed. When I click in a Word document, instead of placing the cursor there, it highlights the nearest word. When I click again, it won't unhighlight the word. And when I move the pointer, it drags the word around the document. Same thing happens in Outlook with e-mail, i.e., any message I click on it grabs and tries to drag. Also happens on the Web. And things I normally click on once to activate, I must now click on twice. Draglock is turned off. Pointer was working fine a few days ago. I have Windows XP.

I'm wondering how others have addressed UI requirements for Access-style
continuous forms and sub-forms in a windows forms application (besides
third-party products).

Thanks
Bill
