    - Toolbar / ImageList problem - Design Time vs Run Time I have an object derived from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl (plus an interface I defined). The UserControl has quite a few child controls (some w/children of their own) ranging from listviews to treeviews to tab controls / pages, toolbars, panes, and splitters. All my toolbars display correctly during design time. But, at runtime, some are displayed correctly and others aren't (there is no image shown - just a blank button). With each toolbar, it's all or nothing. Either all the images are correctly displayed, or none of them are. I've tried a couple things like deleting and re-creating the imagelist used by the toolbars and deleting and re-adding the buttons. Nothing seems to help. Any ideas? One follow-up: The transparent areas of the images that do display aren't transparent. I've tried with the transparent color set to the default as well as the actual color (used RGB value - 191, 192, 195) used in the images. Those "transparent" areas do show up, though. Btw, these are bitmaps. Any help is much appreciated. TIA. -- Michael Salamone [eMVP] Entrek Software, Inc. www.entrek.com Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98670

    - Strong Naming using AssemblyDelaySign(true) and VSS Hi I am having a problem using VSS (Visual SourceSafe) to store delayed signed assemblies - they are being 'broken' and are needing to be resigned. I have found that signing assemblies using AssemblyDelaySign(false) works fine - in that I can check the resulting assembly into VSS delete the original from the file system and when I get it back out of VSS it still works (i.e. is still correctly signed). I have however found that signing assemblies using AssemblyDelaySign(true) does not like being checked in/out of VSS. The signing operation itself works fine but if the resulting assembly is checking into VSS and the original is deleted, when got back out of VSS it is broken and needs resigning. The only obvious difference between the original and the one out of VSS that springs to mind is when got from VSS it has a new date/time. I do not want to set VSS to use original DateTime as that brings with it many other issues, such as failure to get latest is the person's clock who checks something in is late. Can anyone tell me how I can late sign yet still use VSS to store the resulting assemblies? Thanks Stuart Wells Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98668

    - Converting a 4D array to a 1D array and addressing it I have a four dimensional array which I am trying to flatten into a single dimension array: Dim Array4D(10,10,10,10) as Single I can create my one dimensional array to be big enough to contain teh data from the 4D array: Dim Array2D(Array4D.Length - 1) As Single Then I populate it like so: Dim intArray2dIndex As Integer For t As Integer = 0 To Array4D.GetUpperBound(0) For x As Integer = 0 To Array4D.GetUpperBound(1) For y As Integer = 0 To Array4D.GetUpperBound(2) For z As Integer = 0 To Array4D.GetUpperBound(3) Array2D(intArray2dIndex) = Array4D(t, x, y, z) intArray2dIndex += 1 Next Next Next Next But once I have my 1D array how do I retrieve a value from it using the original t,x,y,z values? In other words, given a t, x, z and y value that would describe a position in the 4D array I need to translate that to a single value that describes the position in the one dimensional array. Any help on this one? TIA Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98667

    - Bloated Files... Hello, We're moving a project from MFC to .net. And we've been able to make some great improvements on the way - especially on the GUI side (big hurray for the guys who made the propertyGrid). But when it comes to Serialization - well I don't know. Using BinaryFormatter the file is 436 times larger then the file created with MFC. And just a hint for the problem in this: the file with 2.2 million objects was 7MB and now it is 3GB. (oh - not to mention that the load time was 30seconds and now well over 15minutes). Now I've read a lot about all the different options and have tested quite of it. I love the way all the formatting stuff fits together e.g. in remoting and I can see the merits. But, just in the off chance that I am overlooking something - is there a better Serialization scheme hidden somewhere in .net or has somebody else sat down an implemented a "MFC" similar way?

    - Classes to identify device parameters? Hi All, I'm fairly new to .Net Framework, so if this has been answered before, please redirect me... One of the public methods in the Environment class is 'GetLogicalDrives', which returnes a String[]... What methods/classes allow the programmer to querry the types of devides returned in this array... For example, I need to know, if the device is a 'removable' device (i.e. memory stick, CD-ROM, etc)... What class method could be used to identify these devices (from a string no less)... You help would be appreciated... Thanks, Peter Wilford Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98654

    - What good is this automatic garbage collector? I have a simple .NET application with two or three listViews which are filled with icons and when the user click on the proper item, they display the related images. I use "image = null ; " for all images that have been used and are going to be closed. This is how ever no way to reduce the memory consumption. I have noticed , using the task manager, that garbage collector doesn't actually do any collections unless the computer becomes low on memory. This is very foolish, and what good is a garbage collector which doesn't collect the disposed objects when they aren't needed anymore? Besides, calling CG.Collect() is usually avoided for performance and speed. What else can i do?

    - managed C++ StringBuilder & wchar_t* from some ManagedC++ code I'm writing I would like to call a function like that void myfunction(wchar_t*, unsigned); I would like to avoid attribute, particularly as I import the header, there are plenty of custom types and function and it's much more easy to just call the function (otherwise I rather code in C#, in fact...) I though I could just wchar_t* buf = alloc(n * sizeof(wchar_t)) for(...) { // copy char 1 by 1 } bur certainly there is a faster version? involving some memcpy, maybe internally to the StringBuilder?

    - Correct ways to throw custom exceptions &when to use inner excepti Hi, I've created a custom exception class that inherits from System.ApplicationException (implemented in a similar manner to the recommendations made in the Exception Management Architecture Guide). My question is: Whatâ??s the correct way to throw a custom exception in the following scenario? Example scenario: Custom Exception hierarchy: +---System.Exception | +---Application.Exception | | +---CustomBaseAbstractException | | | +---UtilityEx If client code calls a function in one of Utility's types and the parameters are two empty strings-- Is it better to throw the custom exception like this: Throw New UtilityEx(BAD_PARAM_EX_MESSAGE) OR-- since ArgumentException is the specific "way" to say "I can't use these parameters" is it better to set an instance of an argumentException to the UtilityEx â??s "inner exception" property? Throw New UtilityEx(New ArgumentException),BAD_PARAM_EX_MESSAGE) Should I only use inner exceptions when catching real exceptions or can you also just create one for the sake of specificity even though the runtime has not thrown one?

    - ASP.NET Security Exception Error I'm new tothe ASP.NET framework and my first task is to create a web interface for an n-tier application. I'm getting the following error when trying to authenticate a forms-based login: "The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file." I've seen a number of people posting this error in the newsgroup and have examined the solutions. Some are assuming a technical prowess with .NET that I just don't have yet while others are akin to reading Swahili. Tracing through the program I've found that the error occurs on the line of code currentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.UnauthenticatedPrincipal); and yields the following stack trace: [SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.] System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckTokenBasedSetHelper(Boolean ignoreGrants, TokenBasedSet grants, TokenBasedSet denied, TokenBasedSet demands) +503 System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckSetHelper(PermissionSet grants, PermissionSet denied, PermissionSet demands) +144 System.AppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy policy) +0 [...]..ctor(String userID, String password, Boolean usePassword) in [...]principal.cs:51 [...]Principal.Login(String userName, String password) in [...]principal.cs:45 [...]tryLogin(String userName, String userPassword) in [...]login.aspx.cs:53 ASP.Login_aspx.btnLogin_Click(Object sender, EventArgs E) in [...]Login.aspx:7 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +108 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +57 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +2112 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +218 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +179 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +87 If ignorance is bliss then I'm ecstatic right now.

    - WebExceptionStatus.ReceiveFailure Hi, everybody. Do you know, which HTTP response produces WebException with Status == WebExceptionStatus.ReceiveFailure? I get this exception raised in my small C# tool whenever the HTTP server returns HTTP/1.1 200 OK with no more data in the response body. If there are some other data after 200 OK, then no WebException is thrown. Can it be that the reason of WebException in this case is the absence of the response body? Because in RFC2616 it is mentioned that in case when response contains no data the correct HTTP answer code must be "204 No Content". If this is wrong newsgroup could you please give me a hint, where can I receive an answer on my question? Thank you. Sergey. Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98607

    - Application Quitting with no Error I'm using Aspects for my middle-tier data access, and on call interception the application quits without error. It's inconsistent and I've found no solid repro. I'm assuming the CLR is encountering an error it can't handle, but I can't reproduce it consistently so it's hard to determine how this is happening exactly. The object is constructed, and then on property access the application quits. The aspect is used in other places (And is executed well over 50 times) before it crashes. It only crashes in one specific class that doesn't do anything special. Any ideas? Does the CLR have a log file I can access?

    - HRESULTs Hi, I've been asked to write some code that only logs "serious exceptions" (a client... long story). I'm a somewhat young programmer and started w/ .net so I haven't been exposed to Com and Hresults before. My question is: I know that all .net exceptions have an HRESULT protected property. Is it true that there's a relationship between an error/exceptions "level of severity" and its HResult value? For instance: The HResult for a common error such as System.NullReferenceException is: 0x80004003 (Reflector has the integer value as: 2147467261) The HResult for an exception that signifies serious trouble such as System.ExecutionEngineException is: 0x80131506. Aka 2146233082 Would it be possible for me to define an HRESULT "threshold" and log all exceptions that are above or below such a value? Or is there no relationship between severity and an exception's HRESULT value? I suppose the other alternative is to use multiple exception filters but assuming that my "relationship" assumption is correct the user one if statement would be more simple and scalable. I know the Logging Block in the new Enterprise Library can do this but Iâ??ve been asked to implement a solution in the next couple of days and havenâ??t delved far enough into the Enterprise library to use it in a real project yet.

    - How do I launche browser maximized each time? I am running Windows XP, IE 6.0, and VB.NET, all with the latest service packs. Originally, whenever I would press F5 from VB.NET to start my web application, I.E. would launch full screen (which is 1024x768 on my computer). (I think I had the browser screen stretched to 1024x768 rather than using the Maximize button). Then I changed my Windows XP resolution to 640x480 to see how my web application would look. Then I changed my Windows XP resolution back to the original 1024x780. But now, each time I press F5 from within VB.NET web application, it launches IE at a resolution of 640x480. Regardless of whether I stretch the browser window or use its maximize button, the browser will launch at 640x480 (not maximized) the next time I press F5 to launch my VB.NET web application. How can I make IE launch maximized (or with a resolution of 1024x768) each time I press F5 in VB.NET? NOTE: If I just launch IE manually from my desktop, it DOES start in Maximized mode, so the root cause appears to be within VB.NET not IE. Thanks for your help.

    - How to use interfaces properly... Ok, I have been testing some things and now I have questions about it. I created a dll assembly that contains just one interface (called ITestInterface), which in turn just has one string property called TestName. I built that project and then closed it. Then, I created a windows forms project and added a reference to that assembly (it's named MyInterfaceTest). Now, before I did anything else, I ran the project and a blank form came up. That was as expected. Then I added the "Implements MyInterfaceTest.ITestInterface" line and it added the property code for me. I built the project again and it ran fine. Then I changed the "Copy Local" property on the reference to "false". I ran the project again and it gave me an error: ----------------------- An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module. Additional information: File or assembly name MyInterfaceTest, or one of its dependencies, was not found. ----------------------- Ok, so now I'm kind of confused. Does each application that implements an interface have to have its own copy of the dll that contains the interface? I'm asking this mainly because I'm working on building an app that uses a plugin architecture, and I am having trouble figuring out how to set up references that will work during development, but will also let the plugin developer drop his executable and associated files into the main application's plugins folder without breaking it. Can anyone explain how this should be done? Thanks! Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98582

    - TlbImp marshals array as single ref When I run TlbImp.exe on my COM dll, the IDL following has an array of longs: [local] HRESULT SomeMethod ([in] short nNumBlocks, [in, size_is(nNumBlocks)] long *alBlocks, [out, retval] long *plRetVal); The output creates this method, with a ref int where the array should be: int SomeMethod (short nNumBlocks, ref int alBlocks); I have also tried using 'long alBlocks[]' instead of the pointer, but that doesn't work either. The [in, size_is(..)] *should* be indicating to TlbImp that it's an array. Can this be fixed (besides declaring the interface myself)? ==================================================== Walter Williams Software Engineer Sawtooth Software, Inc. http://www.sawtoothsoftware.com ---------------------------------------------------- "Do, or do not.

    - How do I launch a process with parameters I would like to launch a process within .NET (C#) with parameters. I have temporarily gotten around this issue by writing this command to a batch file & launching the batch file without arguments, but would like to launch it directly from .NET. My process looks like something like this: "C:\Program Files\Create File.exe" -c -s 1500 Mb -t 0 "C:\temp folder\File Created.tmp" I got the samples working, such as launching notepad with a file, or launching IE with a URL but the above command did not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98566

    - Untrappable System.Net.Sockets.OverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback exception Hi, I've a c# windows service constantly communicating with an ASP.NET web service. After running for sometime, I am getting the following exception at the windows service (client): Object reference not set to an instance of an object. [Stack Trace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.ClearRequestForResubmit() at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.DoSubmitRequestProcessing() at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.SetResponse(CoreResponseData coreResponseData) at System.Net.ConnectionReturnResult.SetResponses(ConnectionReturnResult returnResult) at System.Net.Connection.ReadCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.Sockets.OverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* nativeOverlapped)] Since this exception doesn't occure in any code block, I can only catch it by doing the following: AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(DefaultHandler); In my DefaultHandler, I've the failover code. Even then, the windows service doesn't fully recover. All the static variables (reference types) in the class just loose their referrence. What's going on?

    - Excel in VB.NET form I need to display Excel data in a Windows form, and I also need to be able to update the data in cells, and allow users to enter data. I added a reference to OWC components in my project and I have a form with an AxSpreadsheet control in it. However, AxSpreadsheet is a Web control and I am running into stumbling blocks. Before I buy Alvin Bruney's book on this topic, I would like to know for certain that I can create a user-editable spreadsheet in a Windows form, and save and retrieve the data in xml or xls files. I don't want to proceed down a blind alley when my alternative is simply to use the Excel application itself. Thanks. Tag: Enterprise Library Logging Block - Using an Xml Sink? Tag: 98561

Hi,

Is there a way to use the logging block to write out the log as pure xml?
Ive got an application that writes the log to a file and I want to be able to
read this into a web application. I dont need to log to a database as this
would be overkill for what Im trying to do.

Thanks,

Mark

why the fixation on xml? xml logs are bloated and take up excessive space on
disk. you are much better off writing it as pure text which is light and
less resource intensive. read it in and then convert it xml if that is your
intention
