    - newline characters stripped from HTTPWebResponse Hi, I am downloading a .csv file and saving it locally. I am using HTTPWebRequest, getting the Response stream, and copying the stream to a file. It always works fine in the debugger, but most of the time the release version is stripping out many of the carriage returns/line feeds. My code: request = WebRequest.Create(myURL) response = request.GetResponse() Dim responseStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream() Dim fileStream As New FileStream("myfile.csv", FileMode.Create) Dim r As New BinaryReader(responseStream) Dim w As New BinaryWriter(fileStream) Try Dim b(4095) As Byte Dim iBytesRead As Integer Dim iBytesTotal As Integer iBytesRead = r.Read(b, 0, b.Length) While iBytesRead iBytesTotal += iBytesRead w.Write(b, 0, iBytesRead) iBytesRead = r.Read(b, 0, b.Length) End While Finally w.Flush() fileStream.Close responseStream.Close End Try Any ideas why this might be happening? By the way, I am currently using WebClient.FileDownload, and it works fine, but I would still like to understand what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Brad Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75610

    - Scrollbar Event Hi, I have a windows application that's using the Datagrid to display records. The datasource has the potential of being very large, so I'm only retrieving a certain number of records at a time into a dataset. So, as I scroll down to the bottom of my datagrid, the next page of, say 100 records is appended to the dataset and so on. The code I'm using in the Scroll event is displayed below. For Each c As Control In DataGrid1.Controls If c.GetType Is GetType(VScrollBar) Then Dim scr As VScrollBar = CType(c, VScrollBar) If scr.Maximum < scr.Value + 13 Then mnPage += 1 MapClientsToList() 'Populates the dataset with another page of records. End If End If Next The Problem I'm having is that when I scroll to the bottom, the event is fired, the dataset is populated as desired. However, the event is called again and again in a kind of loop until there is no more data. The scrollbar is apparently being positioned to the bottom every time the data is retrieved, calling my procedure each time. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thankyou, Jeff Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75607

    - How to load XML string into DataGrid and associate a element attribute to a column? Hi, I have a query return in a XML string. My XML result looks like: <activities> <activity> <subject>Win the Nobel</subject> <scheduledstart date="01/01/2005" time="00:00">2005-01-01T00:00:00-3:00</scheduledstart> </activity> </activities> If a dont have the scheduledstart element, the loading of result into a DataSet works fine, but when I try put the element and associate it with a column I get a error (something like "field scheduledstart not found"). See my code: NameTable nt = new NameTable(); XmlNamespaceManager nsmgr = new XmlNamespaceManager(nt); XmlParserContext context = new XmlParserContext(null, nsmgr, null, XmlSpace.None); XmlTextReader tr = new XmlTextReader(strResultsXml, XmlNodeType.Document, context); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); ds.ReadXml(tr); BoundColumn colAssunto = new BoundColumn(); colAssunto.HeaderText = "Assunto"; colAssunto.DataField = "subject"; BoundColumn colInicio = new BoundColumn(); colInicio.HeaderText = "Inicio"; colInicio.DataField = "scheduledstart"; dgResultado.AutoGenerateColumns = false; dgResultado.Columns.Add(colAssunto); dgResultado.Columns.Add(colInicio); dgResultado.DataSource = ds; if (ds.HasChanges()) dgResultado.DataBind(); How I associate the scheduledstart date and time attributes to two columns or the content of the element to one column? Can somebody help me? Thank you for pay attention and sorry my bad english. :) []'s Vinícius Pitta Lima de Araújo Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75605

    - GetValue and ISerialization, object not constructed?? I've got this strange problem in a class that uses ISerializable to serialize a NameValueCollection During deserialization, in the object constructor, after using GetValue to get the NameValueCollection from SerializationInfo, the NameValueCollection is not usable. It throws a NullReferenceException from pretty much any property/method. It is usable after the object is deserialized, but not in the constructor. I've narrowed down the code to a small sample. Can an object not be used during the deserialization constructor?

    - The Register directive for the referenced assembly Hello everybody! I am authoring my custom webcontrol and faced a very difficult problem. I have two assemblies: the first one contains some base classes and the second one contains a class which 1) Inherits a class from the first assembly 2) Contains references to the first assembly's class instances. When I drop the control from the second assembly onto a form, it adds references for both assemblies to the project, but it creates only one Register directive (which defines the TagPrefix) in the aspx code. At design time the control is displayed fine, but at run-time it throws an exception. To solve the problem one should manually add the Register directive for the base assembly. Does anybody know what should I do to that the Register directives for both assemblies were created automatically when one drops the control onto a form? Any help is appreciated Thank you in advance!

    - General access denied error adding user to group when impersonating Hi, I'm successfully impersonating an administrative user (using KB306158). I know it is successful because after the impersonation, the WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name returns the admin credentials (before the impersonation it returns the logged-in user's credentials). I'm also testing the user's role (using IsInRole()) and receive True for Administrator. However, when attempting to add a user to the group, I receive a 'UnauthorizedAccessException: General access denied error'. Assuming that I copy-pasted the code from KB306158, so that I have the impersonateValidUser() function: this.Response.Write("<BR>before: " + WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name); // returns the current non-priviliged user if( impersonateValidUser(admin, domain, password) ) { this.Response.Write("<BR>after: " + WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name); // returns the actual admin account WindowsPrincipal principal = new WindowsPrincipal( WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() ); this.Response.Write("<BR>in role: " + Convert.ToString( principal.IsInRole( WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator ) ) ); // returns True // ... (code which retrieves existing group and existing user ldap path) // fails 'UnauthorizedAccessException: General access denied error' grp.Properties["member"].Add(userPath); grp.CommitChanges(); } Thanks in advance, Elad.

    - Architecture: Scalability VS Performance This is a design / inheritance qus. I have class Task. This is a base class for some specific tasks Say WorkOrderTask : Task TimeSheetTask : Task Now Task has a function GetDetails() which gets all info about task. This makes a database call. I override this in the derived class. For implementing this in derived class i see following 2 approaches. Approach 1. WorkOrderTask .GetDetails() { Calls base.GetDetails(); to get base details, populates in the object Gets details specific to WorkOrderTask, populates in the object returns; } Approach 2. WorkOrderTask .GetDetails() { Get details specific to WorkOrderTask as well as the base class details, populates in the object returns; } The problem with Approach 1 I have to make 2 database calls. Approach 2 If theres some change in base class I need to take care of these in all the derived classes as well. Whereas, Approach 1 is advantageous here as by modifying only the Task.GetDetails funciton ( this is the base class ) function i have all the values and i do not need to touch the derived classes. Was thinking this might be a very common problem, so perhaps many of might be able to guide me on the approach i must take here. Perhaps anything other then the two i have talked about.

    - Visual Studio 2003 compatibility with original Visual Studio .Net My old laptop has the original version of Visual Studio .Net running on Windows 2000. My new laptop has Visual Studio .Net 2003 running on Windows XP. I imported an existing Web project to the new laptop, made some modifications, rebuilt the project, and pushed the changes, including the DLL and PDB files, to our "test and QA" server. The application blew up on the first screen; the error was something like "unable to find the query string collection object". I copied the changed .aspx and .aspx.vb files back to the old laptop, rebuilt the project, and again pushed all changes, including the DLL and PDB files, to the "test and QA" server. This time, no problem. What do I have to do so that our servers, including our client's production servers, can run applications developed with VS .Net 2003? Much obliged.

    - HideEditBox in a DataGrid. Please Help. Hi All, Has anyone out there used HideEditBox, successfully? I am writing developing in VB .NET (VS .NET 2002) for the desktop.

I have set up a TableStyle and GridColumnStyles - all ReadOnly. I have created a new class for the columns, which inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn, and have called HideEditBox in the constructor. It does absolutely nothing. Here is the class: Public Class DataGridPassiveColumn Inherits DataGridTextBoxColumn Public Sub New() Me.HideEditBox() Me.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right End Sub End Class ...

The PerformanceCounterCategory.Create does NOT throw. We have tried many permutations of calls to try to get this to work, but it always throws. The odd thing is that the category and counter are actually created in the perfmon utility. We can see them from .net too, but not in the process that created them.

    - passing values between web forms usign session variables any comments on this? I always use session variables to pass values among web forms. That is if I get a username, password in a Login form, then I pass these to the subsequent Search form as session variables. The search form needs to know who login to display the appropriate data.........is this the most efficient way of doing this? Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75474

    - Mutex Differences VB.NET & C# Hi, I've got the following C# code that works perfectly to prevent a 2nd instance of my C# app: bool bAppNotRunning = false; Mutex MutApp = new Mutex(true, "MyC#AppMutex", out bAppNotRunning) if(bAppNotRunning == true) { Run the app and do work... MutApp.ReleaseMutex(); } I did the same thing in another app that's in VB. NET to prevent a 2nd instace of it: Dim bAppNotRunning As Boolean bAppNotRunning = False MutApp = New Mutex(True, "MyVBAppMutex", bAppNotRunning) If(bApNotRunning = True) Then Run the app and do work... MutApp.ReleaseMutex() End If Why doesn't the VB version work? bAppNotRunning comes back True from the Mutex constructor even when another instance of the app is already running?! What gives? Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA, -- John C.

    - RSACryptoServiceProvider constructor very slow under Win XP I have a .NET app that uses the RSACryptoServiceProvider class to perform a key exchange with a server. During testing we've found that on some Windows XP machines, the call to the constructor for this class can take 15 or more seconds! On our Win 2K and Win 98 test machines it always takes less than 3 seconds. The problem's very easy to reproduce -- just create a console app with one line of code in it: RSACryptoServiceProvider p = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(); One most machines, this should run fairly quickly. On the afflicted machined, it's very slow. I know that the key generation goes on during the constructor, but 15 seconds...?!?! Also, as I said, this only affects SOME XP machines -- we have others that work just as the Win 2K boxes. To compare the XP machines that work fine to those that don't, we compared the advapi32.dll versions/dates, but they were identical. Has anyone else seen this issue or have any idea why XP would be so slow in generating running this constructor? Thanks for your help - Ken Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75465

    - Class Modifiers via Reflection Is there a way to determine the access modifiers of a class type in an assembly via reflection? I see that I can determine if the class is public or non-public, but I would like to be able to further sub-divide the non-public modifiers (assembly, family, familyAndAssembly, familyOrAssembly, private). Is this possible with the .NET 1.1 Reflection API? And just to clarify, I see I can get this info for nested classes, but I would like it for non-nested classes too. Thanks for any suggestions or pointers on this. Kevin Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75464

    - EventLog Category I have an application that writes events to the Windows Event Log. I created a log Source ID on the Application log. Everything seems to be working fine except that all the events have the event category of Network. I found the code for that by trial and error. I would like to add two new event categories to make the event records more intuitive. I've spent a day already trying to do this. Can you tell me how to add two new event categories to my log records. For example if I have a log source ID of "Gizmo" on the Application log, I would like to log events with new event categories of Exception and Trace Data. Can you tell me how to do this?

    - Non-modal Status Form Hi -- I'm trying to write a modeless status form that other classes can call and display information to the user while they're working. The problem is that the controls aren't showing up correctly in the status form when I call frm.Show(). They'll appear correctly if I use frm.ShowDialog(), but I don't want a modal form. I'm sure I'm missing something really basic here. What am I doing wrong? TIA. Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75454

    - How to invoke a method using the thread which created the object Hello! In my program I've made an STA thread which is running separately from the main thread. The STA thread is instantiating some COM objects. Is it possible, from the main thread, to invoke the COM object using the thread which instantiated it? This situation compares quite much to the Invoke method of the Windows Forms Control class. Do some of you know how to achieve that?

    - DirectoryInfo / FileInfo I am writing a file manager that uses DirectoryInfo / FileInfo to obtain details about files and folders that are then shown in a ListView. During testing I have found that I can't delete some files or folders because 'another process is using them'. I ran Process Explorer (by Mark Russinovich www.sysinternals.com) and it shows that my app seems to have a massive number of files and folders open which is a bit worrying. Do DirectoryInfo / FileInfo actually open files? If so how do I close them? If not I'll need to look elsewhere in the app. -- Jeff Gaines - Damerham Hampshire UK Tag: Gracefully fail to start a service Tag: 75447

If my service fails to start, I'd like to notify the user and either display
an error or direct them to check the event log to see more info. With
Win32, you could return a non-0 number to the SCM during startup and a
dialog would be displayed (by the SCM) showing the error number and
directing the user to check the error log for further information.

Is there similar functionality in .NET? I've tried throwing exceptions and
calling Environment.Exit([some number]) in OnStart(), but both cause the SCM
to display some useless dialog.

How are you guys handling this?

Having the service display a message its very tricky, because (typically)
services are started on an different Windows Station than the one hooked up
to the monitor and keyboard. Even if you do put up a message box, you one
will see it (and perhaps worse, no one can respond to it).

Logging an error message and throwing an exception is your best bet. Yes,
the message is not good (it implies that there might *not* be a problem).
