    - Installing .NET Framework 1.1 I am running Win ME. Went to the Win ME update site and downloaded .NET Framework 1.1. Tried to install it, everything runs fine, and then I get to the script 'Registering System Enterprise <something>', and everything comes to a screeching halt. I get the following message: Error 1935: installation of assembly component {608A2065-C580-4C1F-91ED-87286B7FDE1F} HRESULT: -2146234299 Then the rollback script runs, and I get the message that nothing was installed. I have tried this over and over again, and the same thing happens. Couldn't find anything at the Microsoft site to help me, and thought one of you could. Thanks!!

    - New thread reference lost, can't abort I have a Main thread that starts a named thread, that inits and starts up events for watch a folder and monitoring a schedule. Later, I want to join the thread to the main thread and disable the events or if need be abort the thread. However, the named thread continues to run but loses it's name and main thread cannot abort it anymore. What's happening and how can I keep a reference to it? It seems to get lost after initializing.

    - App not working when moved to a new environment Hi, We have an ASP.NET application that works fine on my workstation and our integration server (both of these boxes have Visual Studio installed). When we moved the app to our stagging server (without VS) it stopped working. I get the following errors: Error #1: Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'm_strOnLoad' is not declared. Error #2 Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source Error: An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below. Stack Trace: [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] Customer_Service.searchAccount.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) +67 System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() +35 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +731 So it looks to me like the aspx pages cannot find a reference to their codebehind classes which should have been compiled into the project DLL. I have checked the versions of the all DLLs and aspx files in the bin directory and they are the same as the ones on the integration box. A little bit about the process we are using: First I develop and compile the project on my local box and then check the source files (.aspx.vb, .vb, etc) and aspx files into VSS. Then I go onto the integration server and checkout the pertinent versions of the source files and aspx files based on the code changes we want to implement. Still on the integration server, I recomiple the project DLL with the new files that I just got from VSS, and everything is working fine on that box. Now, for the move to the stagging server I simply copied all the aspx files, and I have the project DLL in the bin directory of the web application. Is this all I need to do? It seems that I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60318

    - EventLog & EventLogEntries I've been using System.Diagnostic.EventLog & EventLogEntries for over a year and I still do not understand some aspects of how they are supposed to work. Here is one particular issue I have never made sense of: The EventLogEntries is the framework's only mechanism to fetch event logs. This can be done by fetching by index within this special collection class. This all seems simple and straightforward with one exception: the bounds and contents of this collection appear to change dynamically during the lifetime of this object. For example, I can fetch the Security log for a remote target and see in the EventLogEntries object that this log has 1000 entries that begin with record # 653617 and end with record # 653716. But while iterating the collection, I can find that suddenly the object has 980 entries and all entries have moved underneath me (e.g. record # 653716 was at index 999 and is now at index 979). I realize the underlying cause is that the event logs on the remote target are being pruned based on their configuration (e.g. based on the maximum log size). However, it is undecipherable to me how anyone could be expected to work a collection of entries whose contract with the caller appears to be that its size and contents can change at any time, for any reason and without any event notification. If someone can help me make sense of this, it would be appreciated. Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60317

    - .NET GC Woes & Best Practices To my fellow .NET developers, When .NET came out and I attended one of its launch seminars I was ecstatic about it's potential. I convinced my employer that his next enterprise-level application should be developed using the latest-and-greatest technology--.NET! Now that my application has reach fruition and we're in the deployment stage MAJOR issues are becoming apparent esp. dealing with memory leaks. I was under the impression that the Garbage Collector was a godsend--a magical force who would deal with all my memory management concerns so that I could be freed to work on the more important issues dealing with business logic. That assumption was far from true. Now before I elaborate, let me say this... I realize that every major undertaking in the programming world is bound to have its bugs. I myself have never produced anything beyond the simplest of applications that were without bugs. Therefore, I expect no perfection from the .NET designers and I still believe largely in .NET's potential and direction. It's just that I have been riddled with memory leaks that I never had in the VB6 world. Now that I have witnessed the power of GC, I'd rather regress to managing my own clean up. MY ISSUES WITH GARBAGE COLLECTION: 1. Whether or not Microsoft wants to admit it, the world of programming is so massive that most programmers cannot be expected to grasp all the high-level ins and outs necessary for developing superior apps. I though GC was designed with this in mind; however, as I read all the posts regarding it I can see that there is an overwhelming number of confused developers who are unsure about it. Back when I set my objects to Nothing once I finished using them, things were easy. 2. Hanging references are rampant. Say you create an object that contains other objects. When that object falls out of scope but has inner-objects that go on living, although you would expect it to die, it lives. One very common example of this arises when you create a form and assign event handlers to the various events, but do not remove those handlers when the form is closed. The dead form reference exists in limbo never to be reclaimed. From a simplistic standpoint, should GC be intelligent enough to dispose of all inner objects when the parent object reference falls out of scope? I mean, if it's obvious that I can never make reference to the closed form again and all the inner objects are ONLY referenced by the form itself--i.e. they are complete self-contained--why bother retaining it in memory!? 3. Because of .NET it is almost a requirement that developers purchase a memory profiling tool. If I hadn't I wouldn't have stood a chance at eliminating my memory leaks. At present, with the tool, I have only just begun plugging all the leaks. 4. As more and more .NET issues emerge for me, it would be nice to have a specific Microsoft URL that has a .NET priority list of issues. Knowing what MS was working on would help put me at ease and make me eagerly anticipate the next release. GARBAGE COLLECTION CONFUSIONS: Although GC was intended to make my life easier, I have had to do volumes of research that lead to tons of questions and some answers. Eventually, I decided that learning from the posters on these newsgroups had limited value--everyone kept speaking definitively on the topic only to be contradicted by someone else who was in turn contradicted again. Here are some of the questions I asked... It seems that there are several ways of cleaning up objects--use deconstructors, implement the IDispose interface and call Dispose (or use a using statement), set the object to null, and override the finalizer method. (I am still uncertain as to whether the finalizer and the deconstructor are one in the same.) Q1: What is the train of thought I should use to know how to properly clean up objects? Call Dispose if it exists, nullify it, or both? Q2: Should I bother nullifying an object that is about to fall out of scope or does GC clean up nullified objects and out-of-scope objects the same way? (I'm guessing "yes".) Q3: If I declare a type and instantiate an object against it is it important to nullify it before I reuse it to instantiate another object? private void Show2Dialogs() { MyForm frm = new MyForm(); //instance 1 frm.ShowDialog(); frm = null; frm = new MyForm(); //instance 2 frm.ShowDialog(); } vs. private void Show2Dialogs() { MyForm frm = new MyForm(); //instance 1 frm.ShowDialog(); frm = new MyForm(); //instance 2 -- is instance 1 garbage collected? frm.ShowDialog(); } Q4: How does the scope of the type impact this? What if the type is static or belongs to a static class? MyForm frm = null; private void Show2Dialogs() { frm = new MyForm(); //instance 1 frm.ShowDialog(); frm = null; frm = new MyForm(); //instance 2 frm.ShowDialog(); } vs. MyForm frm = null; private void Show2Dialogs() { frm = new MyForm(); //instance 1 frm.ShowDialog(); frm = new MyForm(); //instance 2 -- is instance 1 garbage collected frm.ShowDialog(); } Q5: What are the GC ramifications using unassigned object references directly? new ToolTip().SetToolTip(MyButton, "Click me to continue..."); (Tool tips are graphical objects. Is there a difference on doing the same with non-graphical objects?) new MyObject().DoSomething(); //obviously a static method might be better Q6: From a design standpoint when should I use Dispose or destructors/finalizers? Here's what I think I've learned... Dispose: Use ONLY when your class deals with unmanaged resources. Destructors: Avoid them as there is no way to be sure when the GC will call them. GC will handle the details for destroying an object's managed resources without your help. Q7: Even when I explicitly Dispose an object is it still a good idea to nullify it? I would guess "yes". The whole idea of checking at the top of every method to see whether the object has been disposed makes for ugly code and seems problematic--what if the programmer forgets to code the check to determine whether the object has been disposed before attempting to execute the method's code? By nullifying the object, this becomes a non-issue. Q8: Has anyone developed some general suggestions (perhaps a best practices checklist) on designing for GC? Q9: Any general suggestions (or a best practices checklist) for avoiding memory leaks? e.g. Always remove all event handlers in your disposed objects. Q10: Regarding removing all event handlers in non-form objects... do it in a Dispose method or in the deconstructor? Pros/cons of each? I read some recommendations that event handlers should be removed when a form is Disposed/Closed, yet in the Windows Form-generated code for such events as button clicks, there is no attempt to unregister the event handler. Why is that? Well, that's more than enough for now. I'm just baffled that this thing called Garbage Collection--which is supposed to ease our burden--has done nothing but increase our workload as developers. I am truly thankful for anyone who takes the time to offer any feedback. I've been troubleshooting my current project's memory issues for months (tons of hours!). I've even brought in an outside contractor to help with the issue. His advice helped and reduced the memory-leaks, but did not solve the issue. Mario T. Lanza Clarity Information Architecture, Inc.

    - Use public/private keys to verify sending assembly Hello any crypto and remoting types ... can you lend an ear? I would like to enhance the security of an existing application. Currently, the client tier of the application makes remoting calls to the business tier. At the business tier, I want to verify that remoting call originated from an assembly that was signed using my company's private key. The middle tier will assembly will signed in the same way. Has anyone experience, or just a good idea for doing this? In the client, I do have the freedom to send what I want in the call context. Any help or thoughts are deeply appreciated!

    - aximp of SHDocVW.dll problem Hi there, As mentioned in message "aximp of shdocvw.dll -> problem with ShellExecute" posted before, aximp creates two files: AxSHDocVW.dll SHDocVW.dll The second has the same name as the original dll, and that makes problems with internet explorer. The offered solution was disassembly the interops using the ildasm tool and recompile it using ilasm with new name. What I could not understand is how I change the refernce of the AxSHDocVW.dll to point to the new interop I created. I also tried using the /source option when importing the library and get a .cs file, but I could not find the refernce directive in the code, so I created an empty project, added the source code and referenced to the new assembly I created. Still the refernce remained the same (looked in the manifest button of ildasm). Help.... PPPPPLLLLEEEAAAASSEE..... Regards, Or Lavy Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60303

    - Putting a delayed sign assembly into my PC's GAC Hi, I don't know where's the best place to post my question. I hope it suits this group. I have created an assembly with a delay sign attribute set to true in the AssemblyInfo.cs. And the key file attribute points to a "snk" file contains only public key. After I compile the assembly, I set it to skip verification by using "sn.exe -Vr" tool. Doing so, I hoped my PC's GAC won't verify the assembly. But, apparently as I drag the assembly from its location to the GAC folder, there's a "install failed" error: "The check of the signature failed for assembly 'xxxxx.dll'." My questions are: can't I put my delayed sign assembly into GAC? If I can, how can I do it. If not, then how am I suppose to test the whole application with so many common assemblies with delayed signing? Thanks a lot, subi Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60259

    - INamingContainer separator - sometimes _ sometimes : Hello I've created a custom web control using the INamingContainer interface. The custom web control has four textboxes and one button. When the button is clicked, a new window is opened and a list is displayed. When an item on the list is selected, the textboxes are populated and the new window is closed. This all works fine (using window.opener in javascript to reference the textboxes from the new window), except that the client ID of the textboxes changes on different pages from being mycontrol_mytextbox to mycontrol:mytextbox (which breaks my javascript code, which is hardcoded to put an underscore between the control name and the textbox name). I figure I have a few approaches to solve this; 1. Find out if there is some way of knowning what separator has been used. or 2. Find some way to force the separator to always be one or the other. or 3. Find a more reliable way to reference the textboxes from hte new window. I have to use INamingContainer because there could be more than one control on the page and the new window has to know which control to populate. Thanks for your help.

    - AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly: want notification when executing assembly starts Hi all, Does anyone know howto receive a notification (event) when the assembly loaded by AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly loads the startup method and begins executing it? I want to give the user a visual (hour glass, etc.) that an application is being loaded while AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly is loading assemblies. Once it begins executing the loaded assembly I want to make the visual go away. I'm using no touch deployment of windows forms apps that are hosted on a Win2003 Server. I have a shell launcher app that calls ExecuteAssembly on the exe assembly at the specified URL. I tried using AppDomain.AssemblyLoad event but it fires every time each referenced assembly in the exe is loaded and I have no way of knowing when the assembly actually begins executing. As it stands now every time the launcher shell is started I get an AppStarting cursor until it is running (usually only takes a second or less) but the cursor disappears from there on until the windows form app is actually up and running. This may take much longer than a second or two because of network delays and assembly sizes. End result is the user thinks that nothing is happening and tries to start the launcher shell again. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Gregg Walker Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60220

Here is a sample piece of code that will not compile because of line 11. 1: using System; 2: 3: namespace eyecatcher.System 4: { 5: class CommandLineParser 6: { 7: private string m_sCmdLine; 8: 9: public CommandLineParser() 10: { 11: Parse(System.Environment.CommandLine); <-- Error occurs here. 12: } 13: 14: public CommandLineParser(string sCmd) 15: { 16: Parse(sCmd); 17: } 18: 19: private void Parse(string sCmd) 20: { 21: m_sCmdLine = sCmd; 22: } 23: } 24: } However if I change line 11 to look like this: Parse(Environment.CommandLine); Everything works. I spent a large portion of this weekend looking through the language specs and I could find no reason as to why my code failed. As a matter of fact, it seemed more likely (according to the documentation) that my fix should actually be causing an error and my original code should be correct. Anyways, if anyone has any helpful insights I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Shawn Anderson Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60215

    - Cache class Hello, The Cache class is found in System.Web.Caching namespace. Does that mean it can be used only in ASP.NET application? What about in a client/server situation? Maybe I would like to cache data on the server app. Is there a caching mechanism provided by the framework for that purpose? Or should I just use the same Cache class from System.Web.Caching? I suppose this should work, but I haven't tried it. Thanks. Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60214

    - Duplex Printing using the PrintDocument class Hi, I've been trying for quite some time to get duplex printing working with .Net Framework 1.0 (I haven't tested with 1.1 yet). As far as I can tell, I'm correctly setting the PrinterSettings of the PrintDocument. I've also tried setting the PrintDocument.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings. The network printer I'm using supports duplexing, and I've successfully constructed a simple MFC app that duplexes correctly. Does anyone have any ideas, or know of any issues I should be aware of? Thanks, Anthony Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60213

    - SQLConnection.Open error from UI Process Application Block I am attempting to run the sample WebUI code out of the box from Microsoft's User Interface Process Application Block (I succesfully ran the QuickStarts script so the database, user, and PW are there). It is failing on the SqlConnection.Open(); "The specified module could not be found" The method is from SQLHelper.cs and is as follows: public static SqlDataReader ExecuteReader(string connectionString, CommandType commandType, string commandText, params SqlParameter[] commandParameters) { //create & open a SqlConnection SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(connectionString); cn.Open(); try { //call the private overload that takes an internally owned connection in place of the connection string return ExecuteReader(cn, null, commandType, commandText, commandParameters,SqlConnectionOwnership.Internal); } catch { //if we fail to return the SqlDatReader, we need to close the connection ourselves cn.Close(); throw; } } The error is thrown on cd.Open();. The web.config file has the following for the connectin string: <appParams> <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=localhost;database=UIPStore;uid=UIP;password=U1Pr0c3ss" /> </appParams> Anyone have any thoughts on this rather ambigous error message?

    - Object Oriented and COM+ I have some doubts about object oriented development using COM+. To use COM+ my classes must inherits from System.EnterpriseServices.ServicedComponent. With C# a class can inherit only from one class. This means that I can't have these classes: public class Order { public virtual void Create() { // insert a record in orders table } } public class SpecialOrder : Order { public void Create() { // create a order base.Create(); // Process the special order by example // approve the order. Insert another table. this.Approve(); } } Any suggestions? I think in use ADO.Net transactions but with this solution I don't need COM+ for anything.

    - Passive FTP I know this is not really the right forum for this topic, but I figured there are a lot of people here who may be able to provide me with an answer to my question so I would give it a try. About a year ago I wrote an FTP client in C#. It supported only 'Active' mode as that was my requirement at the time; however I now need to support 'Passive' mode. From what I can see, this simply means that you ask the server for the details of the port to which the data connection should be made by using the PASV command and then open an outbound connection to the server on the port specified to transfer data across. Nothing else changes. I have done this, and to a certain extent it works. I issue the PASV command, open a connection to the port specified by the server and send the data. I then close the connection. At this point, I get a 426 error, Connection Closed, transfer aborted. I figure I am missing something but cannot fathom what it is. Should I be sending any additional messages to the server to indicate that the transfer is complete? Any help will be gratefully accepted. Thanks. Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60202

    - Custom data import to SQL via web form Hi guys, Here's a problem: My customer needs a way to import small Excel/Access-files of data into their SQL Server. The data files all contains the same type of data; email address, first name, last name and such basic contact information. Now, if the data files to import would have the same field names as the ones in the SQL Server database, this would not be a problem. But now they differs. One file may have Swedish field names and another may have English. How should I let the user decide which source field to be matched with the destination? I have the following: I created a repeater that lists all available field names from the source data file in the left column. The right column contains a dropdownlist of all available destination field names for each source field. But how should I then know what the user chose?? dt = .... rptSourceFields.DataSource = dt.Columns rptSourceFields.DataBind() .... <asp:Repeater ID="rptSourceFields" runat="server"> <itemtemplate> <tr> <td width="70"><%# Container.DataItem.ColumnName %></td> <td width="15">»</td> <td><asp:dropdownlist AutoPostBack="false" ID="mnuDestinationFields" runat="server" /></td> </tr> </itemtemplate> </asp:Repeater> How should I do this? Am I doing it all wrong? Thanks for any kind of help! Best regards, Jonah Olsson Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60197

    - Trace Listener Issues - Am I missing something Hello, I'm trying to do something straightforward - trying to implement trace listeners to pepper my code with traces triggered by trace switches. I get two problems: 1. The trace.write statements never get written to the stream (file), it stays 0 bytes. Interestingly, debug.write statements work. 2. If I use Trace.WriteLine I get a compile error (intellsense too does not show the method!). I tried to #define a trace constant at the top of my file, no effect. Here's my code, any help appreciated... config file: <configuration> <system.diagnostics> <switches> <add name="ATraceSwitch" value="4" /> </switches> </system.diagnostics> <system.web> public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page { static TraceSwitch traceSwitch = new TraceSwitch("ATraceSwitch", "Demo trace switch"); protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label Label1; private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { System.IO.FileStream myTraceLog = new System.IO.FileStream (@"C:\myTraceLog.txt", System.IO.FileMode.OpenOrCreate); // Creates the new trace listener. System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener myListener = new System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener(myTraceLog); System.Diagnostics.Trace.Listeners.Add(myListener); // traceSwitch.Level = TraceLevel.Info; if (traceSwitch.TraceVerbose) { Response.Write("verbose"); //Debug.WriteLine("debug verbose message"); Trace.Write ("traceSwitch.TraceInfo is verbose nabled"); } if (traceSwitch.TraceInfo) { Response.Write("info"); Trace.Write ("traceSwitch.TraceError is info enabled"); } myListener.Flush(); myTraceLog.Close(); } Tag: Service Pack 2 Installation Problem Tag: 60176

    - Framework 1.0 and 1.1 side By Side I am having problems calling a dll that was compiled in framework 1.0 from a service compiled in 1.0. MSDN Help states: The application configuration file is an .xml file located in the same directory as the application executable (.exe) file. The configuration file name must be the same as the .exe file name with ".config" appended to the end. For example, the application MyApp.exe would have a configuration file named MyApp.exe.config. Note that the configuration file can contain settings that affect other aspects of the application's behavior beside what version of the Framework it should run on. Can this process also be used for DLL's called from a service application ie: can the service call a dll irrespective of the version that it or the DLL were built in? The simple answer is to rebuild the dlls so they are compatable with the service application, but unfortunately this is not viable in this situation.

    - Memory Leak with Service? I have created a couple of Windows Services with VB dotNet and I am seeing the memory usage grow on them. I have looked real hard at my code but nothing really sticks out. I downloaded the trial version of AQTime and ran the services in there and again, nothing is sticking out. Are there any known memory issues with 2003 dotNet with building services? The services are built in an OO model. Within the context of a timer, get DB connection from connection manager object (Shared functions), Retrieve a dataview, for each row in the dataview: pull xml document from web, process the xml document into new dataviews (4 to be exact) and save to db. after all rows are processed, close all DB connections and re-enable timer. I am seeing the memory consumption grow but I have disposed everything I can dispose of. Are there any known issues with what I am trying to do? or does anyone have any suggestions on what to try?

    - ArrayList.Add unclear on error handling Hi, ArrayList.Add(...) method doesnt indicate what value we can check for error. NotSupportedException is the only exception but thats for ReadOnly or FixedSize lists. Will the return value be negative? The documentation is unclear in MSDN on this. If .Add() fails, would it return -1? If its variable size Im sure Ill get an OutOfMemoryException before but there isnt a specific error for .Add failure Fanks.
