    - Generate hardware code Hi, in order to protect my software using web activation, I generate a computer hardware code. I'm using the motherboard serial and CPU serial, with ManagementObjectSearcher class. This relies on WMI. On Win9x, since it doesn't support WMI, I simply get the windows volume serial, although it's not as good. But now the problem is. The user needs to be admin in order to get those codes! If the software runs under a guess account, it crashes. Any good suggestion? Thanks, Etienne Charland Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103775

    - Connecting remotely to Oracle database without OracleClient installed Hello, I am developing a .Net (version 1.1) application in C# for which I need to connect remotely to an Oracle database server. To accomplish this I am using the .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle (System.Data.OracleClient.dll). However, this application will be distributed to multiple clients so I do not want to require that they install OracleClient itself. Currently the application is throwing the following exception when attempting to connect to the remote database: System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve service name The data provider is apparently attempting to find the tnsnames.ora file to resolve the service details, however this file does not exist as OracleClient is not installed. The application works fine when OracleClient is installed, but as stated, I do not want this to be a requirement. How can I connect remotely to the Oracle database server in the .Net framework without installing the OracleClient? Thanks in advance for any help.

    - HowTo have list of keys for RegistryPermissionAttribute I am trying to define permission attributes for several keys in the Registry at the assembly level. The documentation for the Read, Write, and Create properties states that these property values are "A list of Keys and Values with paths for [read | write | create] access". The only syntax that builds is [assembly:RegistryPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Read="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControllerSet\\Services\\EventLog, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\System\\CurrentControllerSet\\Services\\EventLog\\MyLog")] Is this the correct method for lists of paths? The web service is terminating with "Server was unable to process request. --> Request failed." Now I believe the Windows Server 2003 registry setting are such that I don't have permissions for reading these keys, so is the Attribute correctly working or is the list bad. -- Thanks, Jim Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103724

    - Can you please explain File Time Stamps to me? The code statements below are from the .NET framework using C#. However the question I'm asking is not specific to this environment. I'm asking for help in understanding file timestamps which are characteristic of the underlying filesystem. I'm getting all confused with the various types of filetimes; local and UTC if I understand that much correctly. FileInfo FI = new FileInfo(FileSpec); According to my understanding, I would expect FI.LastWriteTime.ToFileTimeUtc(); to be equal to FI.LastWriteTimeUtc.ToFileTime(); According to my (mistaken) understanding, the first gets the local LastWrite time and then converts it to a UTC FileTime. The second one gets the Last write time in UTC and then simply converts it to a FileTime. So why do these come out different? These two I understand: FI.LastWriteTime FI.LastWriteTimeUtc But these four, which use various combinations of local & UTC conversion are a mystery to me. Since LastWriteTime can be retrieved as either LastWriteTimeor UtcLastWriteTimeUtc Why do we need a ToFileTimeUtc at all? FI.LastWriteTime.ToFileTime FI.LastWriteTime.ToFileTimeUtc FI.LastWriteTimeUtc.ToFileTime FI.LastWriteTimeUtc.ToFileTimeUtc Are therse two simply invalid? FI.LastWriteTime.ToFileTimeUtc FI.LastWriteTimeUtc.ToFileTime Does it mean anything to pair local and Utc methods together in this manner, or is this simply illogical? Specifically, I need to compare the times for two files on separate servers. I'm pulling my information via Web Services and the two servers may be in different time zones. How can I get the last write timestamp from both files in a unified format so that I can see which file was written to more recently?

    - caching in WinForm and ASP.NET I need to adding caching capability to our application and we "get" data from our business layer code ; so initially I wanted to use something in .Net framework that provided caching and found that the "caching" mechanism was implemented in System.Web ; initially I didn't want to add System.Web reference to our business object because it was used from our web applications as well as WinForm, console applications ; so I thought I would handle the "checking" to see if the business object was running in the HttpContext and then use System.Web.HttpRunTime.Cache (if in ASP.NET) or EntLib Caching (other) ; I wanted to test something, so I created a console application and a classlibrary ; in the classlibrary, I referenced system.web and added the following shared method: Public Shared Function GetData() As String Dim strCachedInfo As String = CType(System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache("CACHEDINFO"), String) If strCachedInfo Is Nothing Then strCachedInfo = "Hello world..." System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache.Insert("CACHEDINFO", strCachedInfo, Nothing, DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(15), TimeSpan.Zero) End If Return (strCachedInfo) End Function and in the console application, i referenced the classlibrary and called the GetData method... Console.WriteLine(ClassLibrary1.Class1.GetData()) to my confusion, it worked?? ; I don't understand why if the classlibrary was running in the "context" of the console process did i not get an exception when calling System.Web.HttpRuntime.Cache? I read that http context was implemented using System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.CallContext...does this have something with why this worked? am I not understanding the caching mechanism correctly? thanks for light you can shed on this!!

    - client-side maximum string length enforcement When I was working with ASP/ADO, I would get the maximum string length by querying the system tables inside the mssql database. It wasn't the wisest thing to do, but it did let me determine the max string length for each of my textboxes, which kept me from writing updates that couldn't be successfully submitted because of strings that are too long. Now I have an ASP.NET client talking to a Web Service which gets it's data out of a MS SQL Server database. I don't really have the luxury of having the client ask the database how long it's strings are. So what's the proper way to get the string maximum length from the DB out to the client?

    - Executing 2 Threads Hello Everyone, Iâ??m having a bit of difficulty with a threading scenario. Basically Iâ??m creating 2 threads and trying to execute them one after the other. The problem is that the second thread never fires. My environment is a bit complex, and Iâ??m wondering of thatâ??s what is working against me. At the top level I have s series of windows services running which all operate independent of each other. Each of these services operates on a timer and with each tick event will try to create an instance of a new â??Engineâ?? class. The â??Engineâ?? classes that are being created further instantiate â??Helperâ?? classes. Each â??Helperâ?? supports a â??Start_Moduleâ?? method which takes no parameters. When the â??Start_Moduleâ?? method is called the â??Helperâ?? class will perform various tasks such as updating records in SQL Server and or formatting data. Each of my â??Engineâ?? classes also support a method called â??Start_Engineâ?? which is responsible for instantiating my â??Helperâ?? classes. To further complicate things, each â??Engineâ?? class also supports â??Can_Stopâ?? Boolean method which will look at of each of itâ??s child threads to see if the Engine can be unloaded from memory by the controlling Windows service. So my main problem is that once I create and start the â??Engineâ?? class it will successfully create the 1st thread, but never get around to starting the 2nd thread. I appreciate any help or advice that you can give me on this matter. Thanks, Johnathan Rossitter Here is an example of the code Iâ??m trying to make work: using System; using System.Threading; namespace Utility { public class Engine1: Engine { Thread[] MyThreads = new Thread[2]; private Helper1 H1; private Helper2 H2 public Engine1() { } private void Checker() { H1 = new H1(); H1.Start_Helper(); } private void Cleaner() { H2 = new H2(); H2.Start_Helper(); } public override bool Start_Engine() { MyThreads[0] = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Checker)); MyThreads[1] = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Cleaner)); MyThreads[0].Start(); MyThreads[1].Start(); return true; } public override bool Can_Stop() { bool RetVal = true; for(int i = 0; i < MyThreads.Length; i++) { if(MyThreads[i].IsAlive == true) { RetVal = false; } } return RetVal; } } public class Helper1:Helper { public override bool Start_Module() { //Do SQL Stuff //Do Formatting Stuff return false; } public Helper1() { } } public class Helper2:Helper { public override bool Start_Module() { //Do SQL Stuff //Do Formatting Stuff return false; } public Helper2() { } } } Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103707

    - When to use P/Invoke vs. Interop Hi, I was trying to learn more about when to use P/Invoke vs. Interop. The book I am reading says use P/Invoke when I am calling unmanaged Windows API function. Is P/Invoke only used with unmanaged API functions, or could I use Interop instead? To my understanding I could use Interop all the time but the advantage of P/Invoke is for performance reasons since it does not do type checks, etc. Am I correct?

I created an assembly in .NET (I did not create a strong name) and ran it using VB.NET and had no problems. Do I only use strong name when I have an older COM that integrates with .NET? Thank you in advance Ross Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103644

    - Window Service EventLog Hi, I am developing a windows service in c# and in the app I have three class's. The main one called Service1 and then two that I have added to the project. Now in the main one I created an eventlog. My service1 calls another class and I want to be able to write to that same eventlog but I error out when I call this writeentry method of the eventlog. What am I missing? I set a variable to the eventlog in question but not sure how I should set it so its not null in the called class. Jim Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103635

    - Error with a DataGridView [vbExpress 2005] hello, in first I had to ask you to be understanding with my speech, because I am French... ;o) i have a problem with a datagridview. in first, here the hierarchy of my model of data : - MS Access Database - Typed Dataset - BindingSource - DatagridView i fill the dataset with data from 3 tables of the database. posting and navigation function. but when i try to add a new row in database the datagridview raise an exception which says that "-1" index is not defined. i am not able to define from which this error comes. data are written correctly in database. i fill again the dataset successfully but the datagridview don't want to show it ! what I understand less, it's that the error occurs only when the binding source position was not modified. if i move bindingsource cursor before adding row, there is no problem ! thus with the launching of the application I cannot add of new line. :o( from where can this error come ? thanks a lot in advance, Mathieu Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103628

    - Socket Connection Hai...I have a socket program. Let say I have IP from 125 to 129. When this problem happens I get the following situation. I capture what ever is being send to the socket. #Error [9/14/2005 6:28:21 PM] [126.126.226.129] ::A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Error: 5 [9/14/2005 6:28:44 PM] [126.126.226.129] ::A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Error: 5 [9/14/2005 6:29:08 PM] [126.126.226.129] ::A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond Error: 5 [9/14/2005 6:29:31 PM] [126.126.226.129] ::A connection attempt failed because the connected #Error IP 129 is really communication down... But all other IP 125-128 is working.... and when use hyperterminal we can get connected and communicate with the device. But from the system we only see the communication down IP that is 129 as shown on the examples above. What happen to the data for 125 -128. I confirm that these device is running fine and is still connected but we cannot receive anything. Anyone knows why this happen? Is it a cache problem or a memory overflow problem in .Net? Please asists. Thank you. Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103618

    - System.OutOfMemoryException in EnterpriseServices We are experiencing an System.OutOfMemoryException in our application (see exception message below). We have a physical 3-tier environment. Server is Windows 2003 Server, client is Windows 2003 on Citrix, but problem also occcurs on Windows 2000 running both client and server process on teh same computer. Both configurations have sufficent free memory. The error is raised in the .NET Enterprise Services code, and is trapped in the client. The call sequence is as follows: 1-Client.DoSearch() 2-. 3-. 4-Try 5-DatasetObject = Server.Search() 6-Catch 7-ex message 8-Server.Search() 9-. 10-. 11-return DataSetObject Line 5 executes, server routine at line 8 ok, runs until line 11. Line 11 returns, and then client jumps to line 7 with OutOfMemory exception. It fails (mostly) consistently on a dataset object that is approximately 60mb, however I can make it also fail by constantly calling the Server.Search routine with smalling Datasets (i.e. 5mB) until it fails. It seems to me there is a problem in the memory management in the Enterprise Services code. I get the feeling that it is working with an upper limit of allocated memory, that is somewhat less than the memory available on the server. And maybe this has been fragmented. Any help much appreciated.

    - Current framework version Hello, Can someone tell me whats the latest version of the .NET Framework 2.0? Is it still Beta 2 or maybe RC1? At PDC, people were given Visual Studio 2005 RC1, so I assume the version of the framework on that DVD is RC1, right? On the MSDN site, you can download only the Beta2 version. Is is safe enough to install Beta2 or RC1 version of the 2.0 Framework on the machine running 1.1? I know they can run together, but is it safe in this stage? Thanks. Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103616

    - httpWebRequest Protocol Violation Have a code sample to do a basic httpWebRequest, post some data and get an xml doc response. Works great in 1.1, tried with beta 2 and generates a Protocol violation, tried adding the useunsafeheader.... = true in the config, no help, actually created an assembly in 1.1 and used in 2.0 project and still had a protocol violation. The stacktrace looks like its in the WebResponse.CheckProtocol() I am confused why this works in 1.1 and not 2.0, are their additional configuration options for 2.0.

    - Why garbage collector? This might sound stupid, but I really need to know why we need another language with garbage collector? With C++ destructor, everything get destroyed without to worry about them. And because memory is not the only system resources, the concept of destructor fits well into object oriented programming practise. For instance, if Java with reference counting and without GC exists: // With destructor and reference counting try { Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.query("SELECT * FROM table"); // Do something } catch (Exception e) { // handle exception // rs and stmt went out of scope and destroyed } // With garbage collector Statement stmt = null; ResultSet rs = null; try { Statement stmt = conn.createStatement(); ResultSet rs = stmt.query("SELECT * FROM table"); // Do something } catch (Exception e) { // handle exception } finally { rs.close(); // What if createStatement() throws an exception and rs is null??? stmt.close(); // Can you be sure that stmt is not null??? } As you can see, GC only free programmers from handling memory but force programmers to worry about other resources like file, database connection, socket connection, etc. Why don't they implement a reference counting language instead? We don't need another language like Java. Tag: Copy open files Tag: 103606

How can one copy open files? This is for a backup application?

Thanks,

If a program has a lock on a file, your only option is to read the bytes
directly from the spindle. This is extremely low level programming. This is
also potentially dangerous, as the file could be changed as you are backing
it up, ending up with corrupt results.
