    - 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: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up...

    - 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.

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?

    - 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: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... 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.

    - hOW TO DO THAT IN .NET... FRAMEWORK? I have wave files being recorded for interactive voice enabled application. Currently I have more than 1000 wave files implemented in the application. Since I have recorded using regular desktop PC the quality of the sound is not good. Also the volume levels in each of the wave files are different. So what is happening is when I play more than one file at time, end user will hear some of the wave file in one pitch, some of them with different volume level making it an unpleasant experience for the end user. Is there any way using .Net application I can redit these wave file to bring atleast volume level of these files to the same. Do I have understood the file system where exactly the volume level is stored in the wave file? Your reply is highly appreciated. Douz Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... Tag: 89520

    - MarshalAsAttribute() Good Day and Happy New Year to all of you! I was wondering if we should trust the auto-marshalling done by the CLR or not ? i mean this works very fine : '*** <DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError:=True)> _ Private Shared Function GetPrivateProfileString( _ ByVal lpAppName As String, _ ByVal lpKeyName As String, _ ByVal lpDefault As String, _ ByVal lpReturnedString As StringBuilder, _ ByVal nSize As Int32, _ ByVal lpFileName As String) As Int32 ' End Function '*** is there any advantage to hardcode the marshaling type like this (except for the fact that we got self-documented code) ? '*** <DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet:=CharSet.Auto, SetLastError:=True)> _ Private Shared Function GetPrivateProfileString( _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpAppName As String, _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpKeyName As String, _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpDefault As String, _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpReturnedString As StringBuilder, _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U2)> ByVal nSize As Int32, _ <MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)> ByVal lpFileName As String) As Int32 ' End Function '*** also is there any garantee that the defaults auto-marshalling made by the CLR changes over the next versions and makes our actual non-explicitly-marshalled API declaration crash in the future ? thanks a lot ! -- Best Regards Yanick Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up...

    - Bug in reflection? Is there a bug in reflection as follows?: If I have a method in a class [method:Obsolete] public ReturnType RandomMethod() { // ... } and using reflection I get the MethodInfo for this method then call MethodInfo.ReturnTypeCustomAttributes.GetCustomAttributes(false) to get the custom attribute object list for the *return* type, the returned array contains the *method* custom attribute object ObsoleteAttribute, whereas it should actually be an empty array. If I modify the method as follows (random example for demonstration) [method:Obsolete] [return:XmlIgnore] public ReturnType RandomMethod() { // ... } then I correctly get the return type custom attribute array consisting of one object, namely the XmlIgnoreAttribute.

    - Required fields, pointers and VB.net Hi, Given a set of objects like the following I have two questions - firstly is the technique used below for initialising what are effectively constants in Sub New() correct? Is there a "better" way of doing this? Secondly, I know that the code below for Validate() , requiredProperties etc. will never work - you can't put a reference to nothing into a collection. How could I effect this - or similar functionality? What I really want to be able to do is to put a bunch of pointers into an array and check in Validate() whether they point to an instantiated object... (The idea here being that I can abstract the logic for validating common objects like these into a base class.) Thanks, Nick Class Animal Public MaxAge as int Public TypeDescription as string Public RequiredProperties as Collection Public Sub Validate() for each Obj as Object in RequiredProperties if Obj is nothing then : throw new exception("Required property not set :" & obj.tostring() next Obj End Sub End Class Class Dog : inherits Animal Public sub new() TypeDescription = "Dog's are a man's best friend" maxage = "14" end sub Public CollarSize as integer End Class Class Cat : inherits Animal Public Sub New() TypeDescription = "Nasty animals - not even good for eating" MaxAge = "18" RequiredProperties.add(HasStupidBellAroundNeck) end sub Public HasStupidBellAroundNeck as boolean End Class Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up...

    - strange form behaviour... I am busy with a program for my pocket pc. but since it is still compact famework, I'll post this here too, because I'm very much in need for some help with this: I have one form which is my main form and has 4 option buttons and two regular buttons, one for saving and the other for canceling the program. When the user select an option button, a new form is opened and he can fill in some fields by using a context menu (standard answers). When he is finished, tapping on the save button, the form is hidden and the user is returned to the main form, where an image is drawn that the form is filled in and done. After that the form is disposed After the second button he chooses the third option, but the form of option 2 is show, by either tapping on save or cancel, the form is hidden/closed, and the form that should have been displayed is opened. When clicking on the save or cancel button, an exception error occurs, a disposed exception. The same thing happens when the second option is skipped and he goes first to the third option and then the fourth. Instead of showing the fourth, the third is shown and after closing it, a disposed exception appears. Basicly this is what is done: a.. create instance of new form b.. set the textboxes with text from dataset table c.. show the form with showdialog d.. dispose of the form when it returns Nothing fancy, but with that strange error.

    - general question regarding when to abstract vs. interface This is just a thought I wanted to put out there to get some opinions... I've been programming for a number of years, but until a couple of years ago, always with VB6, so everything I did to "fake" inheritance was done with encapsulation. About two years ago, I began working with .NET and C#. This question has bothered me for a while, but never enough to cause any great concern in my work. I just started designing a new project, and the question has popped up again.... Can you think of a time where you would intentionally choose to use an interface instead of an abstract, other than as a workaround for the lack multiple inheritance support? Iss there any general rule or rule of thumb or best practice that has been formulated that dictates when to use interfaces vs. when to use abstract classes. Thanks for any comments.

    - Proper place for custom CONFIG file Hello, We have a set of applications and assemblies that belong to one project. Some of the configuration settings are supposed to be shared between various assemblies on the same machine. After long discussions we finally decided that the best alternative for us is to create a custom configuration file <OutProject>.config and place it in a common directory. Then we can write our own configuration parser that will return NameValueCollection settings. There seems to be two good places to install such file: <Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<CurrentVersion> and <Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<CurrentVersion>\CONFIG. Both of them contain several configuration files. My first impression was that the latter one is the best (since it's called CONFIG), however it contains only system specific configurations files like machine.config. All application-based config files are located one level up, inside <Windows>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\<CurrentVersion>. Do you know what is the best practice?

    - Exporting registry key to a reg file? I've had a look around and AFAICT, the Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey class doesn't have any members that write the registry to a reg file. So, as I see it, the options are: 1. Use Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey to parse each value and write each to a reg file manually. This is a bit of a pain as I have to write all the code to keep the syntax of the resultant reg file correct. 2. Shell out and use regedit /e to export the file. Not ideal because when I do this, I believe that a separate thread is used, so my app carries on working whilst the registry is still being exported (noticeable for large exports). OK, I could monitor all this, but again, this seems like really hard work for such a simple job! 3. Use "advapi32.dll". This is my preferred option (assuming I'm right about point 1). However, I'm getting errors when running the code: [DllImport("advapi32.dll", EntryPoint="RegSaveKey")] public static extern int RegSaveKey(IntPtr hKey, string lpFile, int lpSecurityAttributes); IntPtr hKey; IntPtr hHkcu = new IntPtr((int)RegistryHive.CurrentUser); int ret = Win32.RegOpenKey(hHkcu, registrykey, out hKey); if(ret == Win32.SUCCESS) { Console.WriteLine("Return code: " + RegSaveKey(hHkcu, @"C:\regbackup.reg", 0).ToString()); } This compiles fine, and it appears to be trying to do what it's supposed to do. E.g. if I ensure that the file already exists, I get return code (from RegOpenKey) 183, which is what the documentation to RegSaveKey says I should get (file already exists, roughly). So, if I then make sure that the file doesn't exist, instead of getting return code 0, I get 1314, which seems to be a permission problem? However, I am an administrator. If I do the same from the command prompt using regedit, it exports fine. Any idea? Cheers Mark Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... Tag: 89429

    - Providing IServiceProvider.QueryService to third party AX controls... I need to use a third party database Activex control that uses the IServiceProvider (aka IOleServiceProvider) interface to get an instance of the application API object. It uses this API object to get an OleDb connection string so that it can interact with a database. What is the best way to hook into the IServiceProvider.QueryService OLE mechanism in .net? As far as I understand, when the third party control receives an IOleClientSite instance via the IOleObject.SetClientSite method, it casts it to IServiceProvider and if not null, asks for the API object via the QueryService method. I have successfully cast the control to an IOleObject and passed my own instance of IOleClientSite (which also implements IServiceProvider), but none of the methods are being called. ((IOleObject) thirdPartyControl1.GetOcx()).SetClientSite(new MyTestClientSite()); For all I know, a different IOleClientSite is being given shortly after mine, or perhaps it's just a problem with the sequence of events. I really have no idea why it's not working. I also tried to use reflection to manually call Control.ActiveXInstance.SetClientSite(), but it kept complaining that my custom IOleClientSite implementation couldn't be cast correctly. This probably makes sense since it is expecting a UnsafeNativeMethods.IOleClientSite but actaully getting a WindowsApplication1.IOleClientSite (even though mine has ComImport and the same Guid).

    - installing .net framework on XP Pro Looking for information on the changes made to XP Pro after installing .NET Framework 1.1. I only needed to install it because of a requirement needed by a program I need to use. For instance after installing .NET a new user account was created (not accessible on the boot up welcome screen) but now requires I log on (single user). Can I disable this account safely so I can boot up as previous. Any information appreciated. Lindsay Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... Tag: 89404

    - DLL Re-distribution - Microsoft.mshtml.dll I am using the Microsoft.mshtml DLL and found today that it is not included as part of the .NET distribution. I need to distribute the DLL and need to know: 1) Is there any problems re-distributing this file. Is there a EULA? 2) Is there a distribution package already? 3) If I install it myself, install to GAC? or Doesn't matter. Thanks, Dave Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... Tag: 89400

    - Caching Model Advice Quick overview, I've got a bit of data that takes a fair amount of time to initialize, and doesnt change frequently. I'd liek to load it at application_start and have it reload every 4 hours. What I've tried, create a caching namespace of my own that has methods to load/purge cache. In the cache loading method, I set timeout expiry to 4hrs and CacheRemovedCallBack to reload the data. The problem I am having is when i go to refresh the cache, I get a null reference exception in referring to System.Web.HttpContext.Current (which I assume is because it was initialized from application_start. I would very much like some advice from real life situations on how to get around something like this... Do I even have the right IDEA?! Thanks in advance Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up...

    - Filtering FileSystemWatcher OnRenamed Events I am writing a directory sweeper progrqam that moves files matching some filter (filterString) from one directory to another when they change (using NotifyFilters.LastWrite and the OnChanged event). Works fine. I also want to process files when they are renamed to something that is matched by that same filterString. So, I add a handler for OnRenamed. The problem is that I can get two events, one when the filename is changed from something that matches filterString to something that does not, and one when the filename is changed from something that does not match the filterString to something that does. I only want to process the file on the latter events, so, I'm going to have to do my own filtering. Is there a standard way to filter using filterString? Something like (making this up...) Path.IsFilteredBy(Path.GetFileName(pathName), filterString)? Or do I just have to do it on my own? And, if so, can someone give me a one-liner that would do the job in all cases? Thanks, David Tag: .NET Framework v1.1 SP1 locks PC up... Tag: 89395

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.
