    - deploying configured assemblies I was able to use mscorcfg to create a policy that enables my app to use version 1.5.0.0 instead of 1.4.0.0 without difficulty. How do I deploy this change to other machines? Inside of mscorcfg you can easily create an MSI for the runtime security policy, but I don't see an equivalent for the "Configured Assemblies" section. Any Ideas? Mike Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89677

    - Shell command not working from a DLL called from a windows service I have a .NET DLL that has a shell command that maps a network drive. When I call this dll from a windows program, it works great. When I call the same dll from a windows service, the shell command does not execute. It doesn't produce an exception. Anyone seen anything like this before? Thanks, Jeff Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89675

    - Custom Designer: CodeDom of a collection I am building a complete custom designer, but have run into a major snag. My primary document class contains a collection property. No matter how hard I try, I can not get the CodeDom engine to create the Add or AddRange statements to add elements to that collection property. When a toolbox item is invoked, I notify the component change service about collections changing and changed events as well as actually perform the Add to the collection, but no Add or AddRange lines ever appear in the generated code. The property is correctly marked as content visible for designer serialization. What did I overlook? Thanks a lot, Brandon Bloom Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89674

    - How to determine Logged On Users from a VB .NET Service I wrote a VB .NET Service to restart the computer when certain business rules are triggered (such as not being rebooted in x days, no users logged on, time is 1-3 am, etc.). I am currently using a sloppy technique of checking the Registry to determine if and who is logged on. I would like to use a Microsoft sanctioned best-practice method of determining if anyone is logged on (and their Username and all Process Names that the User is running, etc.) from the Service. It will run on XP Pro, but eventually Server 2003, etc. I think I should be using the WindowStation and Desktop related API calls, but cannot find good documentation on how to do it from Visual Basic .NET and the proper sequence. I need some code snippets for something like, EnumDesktops(), OpenWindowStation(), etc. Any help from Microsoft ? (or anyone else that has done this). -- To email me, remove the ABCDEFG.

    - Enterprise Instrumentation config file problem Hello, We are running into a problem I was wondering if anyone has seen before. We are using EIF for some of our com+ and web services and so have the config files that need to be updated with information about each component. We use a internal build and move process to get our code built and then moved to our com+ servers. I modified our internal move process to update these config files at the time the component or web service is being moved. The problem is that we are getting this error during our testing: The process cannot access the file "WebServices.EnterpriseInstrumentation.config" because it is being used by another process. What I think is going on is that at the time the move process is trying to put the new config entries into the config file, another component is trying to use the config file for it's trace logging and thus failing. I have tried to find information on this out on Microsoft's site to see if this is an issue but have had no luck. I'm wondering if others have run into similiar issues that could give me some input?

As part of the setup we need to add some keys to the registry and copy an extetion dll into \windows\system32 directory. Specifically to use the mapi (that use the outlook functionality) dlls from the .NET application. I know due to security reasons these are prevented.

    - Manually creating a .sln file Hi, Due to a project I am working in, I need to generate a solution file automatically that includes one C# project. I have taken the format for that .sln file from existing solution files created by VS.NET 2003. I only generate two new GUIDs. This is the template that I use: ----------------------- Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 8.00 Project("CS_GP_PackageGUID") = "CS_GP_OriginalProjName", "CS_GP_OriginalProjName.csproj", "CS_GP_ProjectGUID" ProjectSection(ProjectDependencies) = postProject EndProjectSection EndProject Global GlobalSection(SolutionConfiguration) = preSolution Debug = Debug Release = Release EndGlobalSection GlobalSection(ProjectConfiguration) = postSolution CS_GP_ProjectGUID.Debug.ActiveCfg = Debug|.NET CS_GP_ProjectGUID.Debug.Build.0 = Debug|.NET CS_GP_ProjectGUID.Release.ActiveCfg = Release|.NET CS_GP_ProjectGUID.Release.Build.0 = Release|.NET EndGlobalSection GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution EndGlobalSection GlobalSection(ExtensibilityAddIns) = postSolution EndGlobalSection EndGlobal --------- I replace CS_GP_PackageGUID with a generated GUID and CS_GP_ProjectGUID with another. The first GUID is for the solution and the second for the project. When I try to open the .sln file with VS.NET, I get a message "The application for project '...' is not installed. Make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed". And the only way to incorporate the project in the solution is to open it with VS.NET and remove it and reload it. This changes the first GUID (CS_GP_PackageGUID). After that the project is incorportated correctly into the solution. It seems to me that the GUID needs to be generated by the solution. But, there should be a way to force it to accept a GUID provided by me or to somehow figure out what is so special about the GUID generated by VS.NET. Please help!

    - System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation I have the following code: Dim data As New System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection data.Add("SWEExtSource", "XXXProductHttp") data.Add("SWEExtCmd", "Execute") data.Add("UserName", "uname") data.Add("Password", "password") Dim wc As New System.Net.WebClient Dim responseArray As Byte() Dim serverURL As String = "http://myserver/eai_enu/start.swe" responseArray = wc.UploadValues(serverURL, "POST", data) results = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(responseArray) It works great on most of our servers, but on one of them I get the following error: System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: The server committed an HTTP protocol violation. The ironic thing is that the data actually posts to the server, so it's the return message that is causing the error. This is a windows service. Anyone run into this?

    - Slow performance with garbage collection Just wondering if someone can help me with a problem with garbage collection that I seem to have: I have a client/server system where the clients are experiencing quite long delays because of bad performance on the server. The server uses Windows Server 2003 with the .NET v1.1 Service Pack 1 update. I have used the Performance utility on the server during these bad performance periods and have noticed that there is a lot of time spent in the garbage collection. Does anyone know why this might be? *** More detail: The nature of our system involves a lot of large objects (85KB+) being used and the large object heap size reflects this. There also seems to be a lot of garbage collection happening in the large object heap which I feel maybe our problem. If the average size of one of our objects is larger than the Generation 2 threshold (which it could easily be if the threshold is around 10MB) then as soon as our object is on the heap then it will result in a garbage collection. This means that everytime one of our large objects goes on the heap, there is a corresponding garbage collection (this is just guess work though)...that would make an awful lot of garbage collections going on. I have read up about the issue with mscorwks.dll being used for garbage collection on a multiprocessor server. Typing in "tasklist /m mscorwks.dll" brings a list of our applications running under this DLL. The server I have is dual proccesor, thus I installed the .NET v1.1. SP1 to update the config settings so mscorsvr.dll would be used instead and enable the multiprocessor garbage collection. This has not made any noticeable difference with performance. However, typing in the above command still indicated our applications were running under the mscorwks.dll. I have also tried the gcConcurrent setting as well and this has not made any difference either. *** It would be much appreciated if anyone can help with this problem?

    - Deserialize an unknown class to show it in a property grid. Hi group I read XML data which i sometime can't know their type. But i have to show the property in a property grid. for example i get the following xml : <UnknownClass><Prop1>value1</Prop1><Prop2>value2</Prop2><Prop3>value3</Prop3 ></UnknownClass> I can't have the declaration of UnknownClass, so i can't cast it in a known type at the deserialization time. So i can't create an instance of the object and can't show its properties. But i am quite sure it is possible to create some object using the XML definition, and dynamically re-create a basic structure that match the properties, in order to juste show it in the property grid. but how can i do that or workaroud it ? i have googled for that and can't find any sample to deserialize unknown data.

    - List enumeration exception under weird circumstances. Hi, I hv foll. code: foreach(object obj in myChkedlistbox.CheckedItems) { Messagebox.show(obj.tostring()); } It gives me the foll exception: "The list that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change." I dont see where am I changing contents of myChkedlistbox list. What is more surprising, at the same time the foll. (similar) code just works fine. for (int i=0; i< dynColumns.CheckedItems.Count;i++) { object itemChecked = dynColumns.CheckedItems[i]; MessageBox.Show(itemChecked.ToString()); } One more confusing thing is that the exception doesnt come on each run. Once in a while the exception pops up and then after that its v.consistent to the point that I reduce my code to: foreach(object obj in myChkedlistbox.CheckedItems) {} //Yes empty loop. & still throws the exception..whoa !! However If I do a clean-rebuild it goes away and just works :-? until some mysterios next time when it decides to revisit again. Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89626

    - URGENT: Why the impersonation work in one case and not the other? I have two computers, client and server. The client is running Windows 2000 Professional and is in a workgroup, say "MyWorkgroup". The server is running Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and is in a domain, say "MyDomain". What I need is to logon to the client as some generic local administrator user and then access resources (e.g. share folder, SQL Server using Windows Authentication, etc.) on the server. Here is what I did: I create another local administrator user (user A) with on the client with the same username and password as a domain user (user B) on the server. I then access resources on the server by first logging on to the client as the generic administrator user and then impersonating to user A and use user A's credentials to access the server. I have two sets of such systems in two environments. This works fine in one environment, but not the other. In the environment that works fine, when accessing the server, user A is automatically viewed as the domain user B. In the environment that fails, user A is not recognized as a domain user on the server, i.e. it's not automatically mapped to user B. There're only 2 differences between the two environments: Environemnt 1: Server is domain controller. There's no firewall between the server and the client. Environment 2: Server is a member server of a domain, the domain controller is another computer residing somewhere else. There's a firewall between the server and the client. I don't think the problem is with the firewall, because I can get to the server from the client successfully (I can ping), and I also did see the logon request coming over to the server from the client. It's just that the logon request fails (in environemnt) 2 because the client user (user A) is not mapped to the domain user (user B). In the EventViewer (I have auditing on), it reports logon failure because user doesn't exist (error code 0xC0000064). Any idea on why it fails in environemnt 2? Also any idea on how to tell the Windows server to look for the username in the server's domain rather than just looking for it in the local user list on the server? That username is a domain user on the server, not a local user. Thank you very much. Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89624

    - Embedded Control in IE Visual Styles not working. Hello, I have an embedded control in IE that works however, I cannot seem to get XP style support. As a standalone app, the control contains the XP style motif. I do the Application.EnableVisualStyles() & Application.DoEvents() call in the code for that to work. The problem happens when I run the control in an object tag in IE. I have tried several things but they don't work such as embedding a manifest file that enables xp style support as a manifest file. The only way it works is if I put a manifest file where iexplore.exe resides. Even though that works and my application has XP style support, it is not what i want for my application. Is there any other way to enable XP style support on an embedded component in IE? Thanks, Marco Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89595

    - TreeView Question I am deriving my own TreeView control from the 1.0 Framework TreeView. I have overriden the OnAfterSelect method and want to respond to selection of a node. The issue I am having is that if the user selects a node and then clicks the node again, no OnAfterSelect event is triggered. I figure this is the way it is supposed to work but would like to work around this. Has anybody had this issue and found a way to work around it? I thought I could monitor OnMouseUp events and see if the left mouse button is clicked on the selected node and then call OnAfterSelect from with in OnMouseUp. This creates a new issue of when you actually do select another node, now OnAfterSelect gets called twice (once for the select and once for the mouse up event). Oh and in case your wondering, I'm pretty sure the OnAfterSelect event is fired before the OnMouseUp event. A snipet of my code is shown below: protected override void OnAfterSelect(TreeViewEventArgs tvea) { base.OnAfterSelect(tvea); ... do really cool stuff when node is selected! ... } protected override void OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mea) { base.OnMouseUp(mea); if (mea.Button == MouseButtons.Left) { TreeNode node = GetNodeAt(mea.X, mea.Y); if (node == this.SelectedNode) { OnAfterSelect(new TreeViewEventArgs(this.SelectedNode)); } } } Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89563

    - Apparent issues while using System.DateTime In my application I store all transaction dates in UTC in the database. At the time of displaying the transactions in the UI I convert the date to local date time and then display the same to the user. I do the following: string LocalDtTimeString = Convert.ToString(DtClass.ConvertToLocalDateTime(System.DateTime.Parse(strDate))); where strDate is the string representation of the date fetched from the database. and the DtClass method implementation is: public class DtClass { : : public static DateTime ConvertToLocalDateTime(DateTime UTCDateTime) { return UTCDateTime.ToLocalTime(); } : : } Scenario is: My UI is in the context of PST. I perform a transaction at 4:30 PM (PST). Database stores the date as next day morning 12:30 AM (UTC). Now I changed the Time Zone of my machine from PST (GMT - 8) to EST (GMT - 5). I run my UI and see that it shows the transaction time as 10:30 PM (EST) instead of showing it as 7:30 PM (EST). This is happening on a test machine. When I wrote this code and tested it on the development machine, it was correctly converting times and giving respective local times. Is there anything that I need to change in the code that will make it work consistently on all machines? I looked around regarding this issue on the internet and read some material, which talks about behavior differences based on the culture notably with DateTime.Parse and DateTime.ToString. I don't understand why it subtracts 2 hours instead of 5... I would really appreciate your help... Thank you... -Avinash Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89550

    - Help: Wrong build assembly file caused BadImageFormatException I have a solution with multi projects (VB.Net), but sometimes the build output of one project get a wrong file which caused BadImageFormatException at run time. When you open the wrong file with ildasm, you can find that same class appears more than once. My question is: what's wrong with my projects? How can I solve this problem because now there is another project starting to build wrong output too. Thanks in advance! BTW: If I post in wrong place, please point me the correct one.

    - Array.Sort? Can someone explain to me (as something of a .NET layman) why the Sort() method of System.Array is static? Is it because it's changing the array you're sorting? Is there some limitation where if it was an instance method, it wouldn't be able to reorder the array? Just curious! Cheers, Matt Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89548

    - .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... I ran the Windows Update in which it offered v1.1 SP1 of the framework. I installed it and rebooted as required. When I came back into my pc, the desktop appears frozen (I can't even bring up Task Manager). The bizarre part of this problem, if I wait 15-20 minutes my PC will come back to life and work as "normal". I've done a google search and found several similar reported problems after installing v1.1 SP1. Anyone hear had or having this same problem?? What is very strange is that v1.1. SP1 doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs? thanks, Rob. Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89542

    - Connected Status on Sockets I have created a socket application in C++.NET that connects in non-blocking mode. All my previous apps of this kind have used blocking mode at the connection, but in this case I did not want the app to wait if the server was not available. In the course of doing this, I discovered after several hours of frustration that the Connected property of the socket is not set in non-blocking mode even after the connection is completed. Maybe this is documented someplace, but I could not find it. Is this behavior to be expected or have I got an error someplace else? I got around this by using Poll instead to check for the connect status, but I would still like to know why Connected is not working. Thanks, Bill Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89536

    - Postback form .NET bug I am having a problem that I swore I read about a long time ago and it was a .NET service-pack/hotfix bug. The problem right now is that whenever I try to postback on form, it simply does nothing. I distinctly remember the issue being fixed by a hotfix, but I can't remember which one. I can't seem to find anything on google either. Anyone remember this or have a link to a KB article? I think it had something to do with the aspnet_client files directory and where it was stored.

    - How can I know if I am in a Service or Application? I have a c# component that can be used in various executables. I need a way in the code of this component to determine if the executable that loaded it is a Windows Service -or- a Console/Windows application? i.e. within the code of this component how can I determine if the process that loaded it is a Service or App? I am looking for a C# sample.... thanks! Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89530

    - Errors from Socket Functions I am using C++.NET to build an application using sockets. I am connecting to multiple servers, some of which may not always be available. I am setting blocking off before connecting and using the poll command to detect when the connection is complete. This works fine, but if there is an error, like connection refused, I can't get the speicfic error. In the docs it says to use GetLastWin32Error, but that always returns zero. In my past experience with the function, I found that I had to use the DLLImport function to activate the specifc API call. I feel that I must have to do something similar in this case, but I don't know how to compose the DLLImprt to provide this functionaltiy to the socket functions. Please let me know if I am going down the right road, and what I need to do to make this work. Thanks, Bill Tag: Form Focus Problem Tag: 89527

    - SP2 & "The Publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" Hello. Our company has created a .Net application which the user starts by executing via a URL (i.e., http://someserver/application.exe). On some machines running Windows XP SP2, the user will see a dialog containing the message "The Publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software." This does not happen on most machines running SP2, but it does occur on a couple. And yet, the Security settings on the machines where it does occur seems to be the same as on the machines where it doesn't happen. Can anyone tell me how to turn this off? Thanks.

I have an application which loads a main form which contains text boxes and
other details. This main form has a menu which opens another form. I want to
have both forms accessible (i.e. I don't want the second form to be modal).
However, I *do* want users to keep working in the second window and only
switch to the main window when they need to. Unfortunately, after performing
one or two functions (I'm writing in C# in the .NET Framework -- 2003) in
the second window, the FIRST WINDOW grabs the focus... and I can't find a
way of forcing the second window to KEEP THE FOCUS!!!!

Please help.

Are you running the second form in the same thread as the first one? Does
the second form have its own message pump? It's hard to speculate without
seeing how you're invoking the second form, but my first inclination would
be to recommend that you try creating a separate thread for the second form,
and in that thread, calling Application.Run(new mySecondForm).
