    - how to get the source file reference data from the clipboard in .Net Hello, I am familiar with obtaining source file reference material from the system clipboard using the old Win32 API. For example, copy an Excel chart onto the clipboard and goto Word. Under, Edit & PasteSpecial, there is a label called "Source:" which will contain the file path, etc. How can one obtain the source file reference material utilizing .Net technology? Thanks & Regards, TC Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75533

    - 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 a datagrid which is ReadOnly. When you click in a cell, the text edit box appears which looks bad and distracts the user, AND it captures DoubleClick which I want to handle at the DataGrid level. 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 ... I put the Alignment in there just to get some feedback so I know my class is working (I have to admit I'm new at this). The Alignment works, the HideEditBox does not. Can alybody help? I would appreciate it vey much. Randall Smallwood. Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75530

    - TCPListener and Windows service Hi All I have a scenario The server can dial into the client for several task 1. To fetch several rows from 2 or 3 tables - I plan to zip the files and send it across the network; to increase performance, instead of row-by-row update on the serve 2. To execute a remote application on the client and fetch data returned by the client application to the serve 3. To transfer some files to the client which would be either stored on the client's hard disk, or execute an application and pass the file to the remote applicatio 4. To update sql data on the client databas My initial design was to make four TCPlistener exes listening to 4 ports and appropriately make the listeners to the appropriate jobs depending on the port that receives data Is it possible for me to have just one windows service to be running on the client, and depending on the parameter sent from the server, do one of the four options stated above Please advise Thanks Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75498

    - Urgent: how to call a web service through a thirdly authenticated web page?? hi all, We've been facing a difficult task that we need some wise advices from other professional indeed. Our client want before calling the webservice from 1 webserver, for instance A, we must go through an authenticated web page on webserver B which requires to input user name, password, then if valid, that webpage auto redirect to our web service. More in detail: we need call http://A/WebService/WebService.asmx it jumps to http://B/authentication/authentication, a HTML page here for inputting user name, password. Then if OK, it redirect to our webservice. We've checked by IE already. So, the problem is how can we fulfill this task??? Any help would be very appreciated.

    - PerformanceCounter & PerformanceCounterCategory on Windows 2003 We are trying to create a custom performance counter and category in .Net 1.1 with Windows 2003 and XP as our operating systems. We use the following code to do this if (PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists(categoryName) PerformanceCounterCategory.Delete(categoryName) CounterCreationData ccd = new CounterCreationData(counterName, counterHelp, PerformanceCounterType.RateOfCountsPerSecond32) CounterCreationDataCollection ccdc = new CounterCreationDataCollection() ccdc.Add(ccd) PerformanceCounterCategory perfCategory = PerformanceCounterCategory.Create(categoryName, categoryHelp, ccdc) OurLibrary.Error.AssertThrow(perfCategory.CounterExists(counterName), String.Format("Expected \"{0}\" counter to exist.", counterName)) PerformanceCounter counter = new PerformanceCounter(categoryName, counterName, false) We get a "Category does not exist" InvalidOperationException when we assert that the counter exists. perfCategory != null at this time. 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. We have tried this same code on Windows 2000 boxes and it works correctly. What is the problem with the Windows 2003 and XP operating systems that cause this to fail? We have searched the newsgroups and have not seen any explanations and very few instances of this problem. Are we the only ones using the .net performance counters Thanks Frank Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75487

    - Good sockets tutorial needed Can anyone give me some links to tutorials on using sockets with .NET? Here's my scenario: I'm writing a service in .NET. I want to be able to create clients which can talk to the service to both get status information from it and also make configuration changes. I figure a simple TCP connection would be the easiest way to facilitate communication. I'm no sockets guru in the first place or I'd try to muddle through it on my own (which of course I may have to).

    - 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: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts 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.

    - 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.

    - Security Policy, Code Groups and Security Tools. Could someone who has active experience of assigning Security Policys please clarify my follow comments... Having gone through the MSDN documentation on this subject, my condensed version of the way the security code permissions works is thus :- 1. An Assembly will be mapped to one or more Code Groups based upon the membership conditions specified within each code group. 2. When an assembly belongs to multiple code groups, permissions assigned by one code group can be overridden (increased) by permissions assigned by another code group when they are both part of the same Policy level. 3. Code groups from a lower policy level cannot override (increase) permissions set by an upper level (apart from when the permission hasnt yet been set) *but* can reduce them. 4. The user policy level code groups cannot grant additional permissions to an assembly *but* can only reduce them further. 5. When the Exclusive attribute is used on a code group, the code group will become the only one within that policy level to apply permissions, although the further policy levels code groups will be evaluated. When an application belongs to more than one Exclusive code group it will not be run. 6. When the Level Final attribute is used on a code group, no other policy levels code groups are evaluated *although* the current policy levels code groups will. 7. When Level Final and Exclusive are used together then the codegroup on that level will be the only one that will apply to the application through all policy levels. Couple of points. a. Firstly is there any reason that the code groups are / can be nested, from what I can see the answer is no -although I am assuming that it allows for a more specific targetting of conditions. b. Since the default Enterprise code group is All_Code -Full Trust and changing it could effectly cause problems with the framework, I assume this is left alone. Because this code group would override any additional code groups within this policy, I am assuming that all Enterprise level code groups should be marked as Exclusive. c. Does Caspol utility expose any additional functionality than mscorcfg utility (apart from the ability to do scripted config)?

My program is compiled to use the Unicode Charset and I have the macro UNICODE define. If I change the code to use multibyte charset it works fine. Does anyone know how to get this problem fixed? (CString ReverseFind has the same problem). Regards, Lourenço. Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75401

    - Connecting to existing remote project Hello, I have searched all over for the answer to this, to no avail. I have a web project already set up and running on a remote server, that I created from my home computer. I am now trying to connect to it from my work computer, but cannot figure out how to set up the project. Here are the various methods I've already tried: 1) When I try Open > Project From Web, I type in the URL, and then it prompts me for a project to open, locally. The problem is, I don't have a project set up locally -- that's what I'm trying to do. 2) When I try New > Project > Empty Web Project, I type in the URL (for Location), it tells me "There is already a project created on the Web" -- which makes sense. 3) When I try New > Project > New Project In Existing Folder, I give it a project name, then tell it the URL, then it tells me "Cannot create the project. There is already a project with the name '/myproject.vbproj' on the Web 'http://myproject.com'." 4) So, I tried copying the project files from the server to my local machine, and then tried opening the project, or pointing the prompt from method #1 (above) to the copied project file, but it then tells me "Unable to open Web project '/'. The file path '<path to project file>' does not correspond to the URL 'http://Localhost:'. The two need to map to the same server location. HTTP Error 404: Object Not Found". So I'm stumped. What the heck am I doing wrong, and why am I not finding any info on this? Please relieve me of my frustration -- I would be very much appreciative! Thanks in advance.

    - Controlling MDIChild forms Hi I kind of a new programmer. I started a few wees ago with Visual Basic .NET and I'm trying to develop a simple (I think) application with an MDIForm and an MDIChild. Thus, I open the Child form and it works fine but, when I close, using the close button (X) on the upper-right corner of its window, I canÂ´t mange to catch this event on the MDI Parent form, so I can redefine the MDI Form main menu again (show & hide some options) Can someone tell me a way so that the MDI Parent form knows when its child form has been closed (with the close button on the upper-right) Thank Paulo Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75394

    - Loosing reference to Thread I need to have a thread run as long as it needs to, and not stop until it is cancelled by either closing the application or manually be stopped. It is simply pinging a machine to see what the connection speed is. The ping code is not the problem, as I have used it to get the speeds before, and it is solid What happens is that after the thread has been running awhile, it just stops. I cannot stop it, but when I restart the thread, it is fine. I don't mind restarting the thread, but I want it to do it automatically. Is there some code that I can put in to detect if the thread has gone awry? I have a button on the form that simply starts and stops the thread. If I leave the thread running too long, the code stops to work. When that happens, I stop the thread, and I get the 'Thread cannot be stopped' message box (see code below). Then I can restart the thread I used the code samples that the MSDN has to make it work. Here is the code I have now Public CancelThread As New System.Threading.ManualResetEvent(False Public ThreadisCanceled As New System.Threading.ManualResetEvent(False Private Sub SomeLongTask( ' Run code until CancelThread is set While Not CancelThread.WaitOne(0, False) ' Do some kind of task here System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(CSng(txtPingDelay.Text) * 1000) 'txtpingdelay = .

    - EventLog Source I used the EventLog class to create an Event Source under the Application log. That was a snap. In order to register custom event categories, it appears that you need to know the guiid of the event source. Is that correct? If so what is an easy way to determine the guid of the event source? Please advise. Thanks for your help. Best Regards, Paul J. Lay Tag: Responding to global keyboard shortcuts Tag: 75389

    - Passing active SessionID to a HttpWebRequest Hello there.... I try to call a aspx file within an running asxp file. The key thing is that I need to pass the active ASP.NET_SessionID to this new aspx file via HttpWebRequest.GetResponse Method. Then I want to read the whole thing with a stream object. The weird thing happen at Line 9, after the timeout (1sec) is over. ASP.NET throws an timeout exeption. Even when I set the timeout to 5 min, ASP is waiting always until a timeout expires If I implement a Try/Catch at line 9, after the timeout my debugger jumps to the new aspx file where I set a breakpoint. Also it uses the same session ID :) But the "objResponse" in line 9 is set to NOTHING and all the following code fail because of that. What do I have to do that the GetResponse Method works properly.

    - MDAC/ Dot.net clash Hi, I am having trouble getting an oledb provider to work in a dot.net page. I get the message : "The .Net Data OLE DB Provider(System.Data.OleDb) requires Microsoft Data Access Components(MDAC) version 2.6 or later" Running the component checker tells me i have MDAC 2.7 refresh installed but a detailed analysis shows a few dll's and registry keys that refer to 2.5. I guess I have a 2.5/2.7 hybrid that dot.net doesn't like. I have tried reinstalling MDAC 2.7 but it still has the same discrepancies. Should I try and install 2.5 then 2.7?

    - SerializationException during Deserialization of a class I am serializing the following struct public struct Tan int x int y using the following code BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter() MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream() formatter.Serialize(mStream, tank) and sending this to a UdpClient on a different machine using this code IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"), 11000) UdpClient client = new UdpClient() client.Send(mStream.GetBuffer(), (int)mStream.Length, remoteEP) Now then, my client is receiving the packet via the following cod IPEndPoint localEP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"), 11000) UdpClient client = new UdpClient(localEP) IPEndPoint remoteEP = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 11000) BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter() MemoryStream mStream = new MemoryStream() byte[] message = client.Receive(ref remoteEP) mStream.Write(message, 0, message.Length) mStream.Position = 0 At this point, I compare the mStream that I sent to the mStream that arrived (breakpoints) and I see that they are in fact the same size, have the same bytes writting to them, etc. - they look absultely correct. However, the following command causes the error in question Tank tank = (Tank)formatter.Deserialize(mStream) //The Tank structure is declared both on the server and the client and they look the exact same, etc . . I get the following error System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Cannot find the assembly MyClient, Version=1.0.1600.39535, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryAssemblyInfo.GetAssembly( at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.ObjectReader.GetType(Binar etc.... etc.... etc... MyClient is the assembly that SENT the original packet. Why is the MyServer assembly (the packet receiver) throwing an error about the sending machines assembly? I'm only trying to serialize a class and I'm baffled as to why assembly information has anything to do with deserializing it - but then again, I'm new to Serialization : I've been struggling with this now for 3 days and my deadline is tommorrow.

    - Why does a domain account need to be added to Debugger Users? I have been struggling to install a set of .NET services on Windows 2003 (that have been working without any problems on a Win 2000 box.) The services and scheduled jobs run as a low-privilege domain account to control database access and permissions. Now I have been able to track down the failures to this scenario. When I open up a CMD prompt using runas to use the credentials of the domain account, and try to execute my ordinary .NET executable MyDotNetExe.exe /foo=blah /bleek=glor I get a window popping informing me that "JIT debugging failed with the following error: Access is denied." Running this command as me (an administrator) works. When I add the domain account to Debugger Users the "Access Denied" error goes away (...now I get another error - see below. Now I know that to debug web projects in VS.NET you might need to add the local ASPNET account to Debugger Users, but I can't see why running an ordinary Release build exe makes .NET think the account needs debugging privileges. Or does something need to get configured differently on Windows 2003 Server The next error I get is this Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: Requested registry access is not allowed at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey(String name, Boolean writable at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.CreateEventSource(String source, String logName, String machineName, Boolean useMutex at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category, Byte[] rawData at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String source, String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category, Byte[] rawData at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String source, String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID, Int16 category at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String source, String message, EventLogEntryType type, Int32 eventID at System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry(String source, String message, EventLogEntryType type at MyAssembly.MyNameSpace.MyDotNetExe.Main(String[] args Why would writing to the event log fail? What registry key is it trying to look up? I could add the domain account to the administrators group, but this kinda defeats the purpose of using a low-privilege domain account, doesn't it?

Hi!

I have developed an app, which normally resides in the tray and does stuff
in the background. I would like to make it possible to press a keyboard
shortcut from anywhere in windows/applications and respond to that event.

I have searched high and low on the web, but I guess I do not know excatly
what to look for. :)

Could someone please point me in the direction of an answer? :)

I have no idea how to do it in .Net, but in Win32 you need to call
SetWindowsHookEx(WH_KEYBOARD, ...) and pass it your own KeyboardProc that
will be called on keyboard events.

Hey Klaus

I have previously used a modified version of the MCL .net system-wide hotkey component (http://www.merrioncomputing.com/Download/index.htm). This component uses P/Invoke to call the Win32 API function RegisterHotKey. The component contains a few bugs which I have corrected (e.g. it starts "polling" every second after the hotkey has been pressed once and also it does not delete previously registered hotkeys).

Feel free to contact me if you would me to send you the corrected version

Regards, Jakob.
