    - Registered JIT debugger is not available Hi all, I need to manage some numerous stuffs in an Active Directory running on W2003 server SP1. I decide to write some VB.Net programs, and i installed .Net run-time 1.1 (version 1.1.4322.573) and Snippet Compiler v2.0.7.1 (www.sliver.com). When running the first program, i get this error message : "Registered JIT debugger is not available. An attempt to launch a jit debugger with the following command resulted in an error code of 0x2(2). Please check the computer settings. cordbg.exe !a 0xb24" Can any body help me ? Thanks a lot, Michel Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119601

    - Unbox IL instruction question Hi, I'm referring to: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.reflection.emit.opcodes.unbox.aspx There's a lot of stuff here that doesn't make sense to me. This page states: A value type has two separate representations within the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI): A 'raw' form used when a value type is embedded within another object. A 'boxed' form, where the data in the value type is wrapped (boxed) into an object so it can exist as an independent entity. The unbox instruction converts the object reference (type O), the boxed representation of a value type, to a value type pointer (a managed pointer, type &), its unboxed form. The supplied value type (valType) is a metadata token indicating the type of value type contained within the boxed object. Unlike Box, which is required to make a copy of a value type for use in the object, unbox is not required to copy the value type from the object. Typically it simply computes the address of the value type that is already present inside of the boxed object. ________________ Now a few things: It mentions an "object reference" and a "value type pointer." What is the difference here? Aren't they both pointers? An object reference is an address where an object lives, correct? A value type pointer is what then? A pointer? A pointer is also an address where something (perhaps an object) lives, right? What to type O and type & refer to? Another question: "unbox is not required to copy the value type from the object. Typically it simply computes the address of the value type that is already present inside of the boxed object." It seems then that unbox which is supposed to return a value type is simply returning a pointer to what is inside the box. I thought value types were very simple: they contain only the actual data you're using. If you push the integer 6 on the stack, you don't deal with addresses at all, you simply put a 6 on the stack. right? so why is this unbox instruction able to avoid copying from the box and just return a pointer to what's in the box? Isn't that the exact same situation we were in when it was a boxed object? Thanks... -Ben Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119598

    - How do you get around this? Sorry for the stupid question, but I've been there and done that. Just that just now I have forgotten it for the moment. It happens when you're in a totally different rut of thought. Bail me out here. Just to quote an example: static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine((new Class1()).SomeMethod((Object)19)); } public int SomeMethod(System.Object obj) { if (obj == null) throw new System.Exception("The argument is null."); if ((int)obj >= 10) return (int)obj; } Error: Class1.cs(13): 'Exception.Class1.SomeMethod(object)': not all code paths return a value How do you get out of this?

    - Queued Components and TransactionScope Hi, I have an app that uses Queued Components. The queue is set as transactional and the transaction is set to Supported (I've also tried Required). Everything is running on the same box (tried XP and 2k3). In my app I wrap the queued component call in a TransactionScope. I'm using EnterpriseServicesInteropOption.Full in creating the scope. Right after queuing the component I intentionally throw an exception and don't complete the scope. The message stays on the queue and gets processed. This is a simplified version of what my program really does, which is call a database update within that same scope. When something fails I want the entire transaction rolled back; DB and MSMQ. What actually happens though is that the DB rolls back but MSMQ doesn't. I created the simplified version just to see if I could get MSMQ to roll back, but I can't. So what am I missing?

    - Discrepancy in DataGridView column order & databound DataTable Dear group, I'm currrently investigating a bug within a piece of our software whereby if a DataGridView (bound directly to a DataTable) is ordered by column headers (containing lookup combo boxes where the value is the foreign key of another table), although the DataGridView is ok, the DataTable becomes out of sync. In other words, I have a Grid of customers, and if a customer name column header is clicked - the data moves in the DataGridView, but previous data is still held for the original row positions in the DataTable. This throws off row calculations quite considerably, and is a particularly fustrating bug to debug. Any ideas are most welcome, and thanks in advance for any advice.

    - Using namespace from another project I have two projects, both build .exe. Project_2 declares an object that is defined in Project_1. At compile time I refer from Project_2 to Project_1 and it makes Project_1 namespace available to Project_2. Project_2 compiles and runs, but at runtime it requires Project_1 executable to be in the same folder. Otherwise it crashes. How can I make it so Project_2.exe runs in a different folder from Project_1.exe? I would prefer not to use GAC.

    - [.Net 2.0] How to participate into a transaction ? Hi, I'm building a component that perform some operation and that is working. This component is runnig into the application app domain by now, but later, this component will be a distributed component that will perform operations which represent only a part of a whole process. Since during this process errors can occurs, I suppose I have to enable the component to participate into transactions. What are the requirements of my component to act as a optionnally transactionned component ? I use to surround my code with using(TransactionScope ts = new TransactionScope()){....} when I execute sql request. Will (or how) my component be using the ambiant transaction ? I hope someone can put on the way, or give me a sample and/or a pattern to reach my goal. Thanks in advance for any help. Steve Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119547

    - Program Installation problem Hi, I downloaded the SyncToy program from the Microsoft site and am trying to install it. It says that it requires .Net Framework v 1.1.4322. It directed me to the MS site which shows that the latest version of .Net Framework is 2.0. So I downloaded that (I'm on a dialup line and that took about 1 hr). I installed v2.0. However the SyncToy program still wants v 1.1.4322??? Are the versions downward compatible? Do you have to install a special version of the Framework for every program??? Is the some way to tell the install program for SyncToy (setup.msi) that I have a current version of .Net Framework? Or do I have to install multiple versions of the Framework???

    - Calculate memory consumed. Hello all, In my application I have a datacache class which stores xml objects which are frequently used. Caching objects can improve performance but they come at the cost of memory and in my case since the number of xml objects can be huge I wanted to put an upper limit to the memory allocated to the Cache class. Is there a way in dotnet that I can find out the total memory consumed by a class. similar to Environment.WorkingSet which gives the memory consumed for the entire application. Thanks in advance..

    - Webservice proxy and override Hi all, I got the following problem. When I add a webref to a project it generates (somewhere in the darsksides of the solution) a proxyclass. If you follow the inheritance tree you get the following tree: Component WebClientProtocol HttpWebClientProtocol SoapHttpClientProtocol MyProxy In MyProxy I have to insert the following code to turn off keepalive (that is becouse our current CICS version on our mainframe) protected override System.Net.WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri uri) { HttpWebRequest request = new (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(uri); request.KeepAlive = false; return request; } My main problem is that I have around 200 Webreferences for our webapplication (old cobol programs). If I want to add the code to the reference.cs (under the webreference) it will be destroyed when I do a regenerate. If I generate a proxy with wsdl.exe, I have a lot of manual work, that maybe have to be changed when we get a new CICS version. I was hoping I could do it with the decorator pattern, but it is not the one. I hope someone have some suggestions to resolve this problem in a nice way.

    - Embedding localized resources I'm trying to understand how VS 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0 can be used for a localized application. I've read a lot of messages, posts and guides but I can find a straight answer. I would like to write a DLL library, but I think it'll contain also some forms. I'd like to add a global resx file for all the error messages and a resource file for each form. This can be done very easily with VS2005. Then I can add a resource file for each language with the naming convention and everythink works very well. My problem is that I don't want satellite assemblies!!! My DLL should be delivered alone and it would be a problem for me to package it with all the directories and satellite assemblies. I tried to embed all the resources with the right names in the main assembly (for example of a EXE project) using the command line tools. The problem is that the ResourceManager try to find the localized resources outside the main assembly and, as it can't find them, the neutral language is always used. Is there a "solution" to this problem? May I change the probing mechanism of the ResourceManager object? Or should I write something on my own?

    - interop & performance I have an application which use has a DLL with 100+ (auto-generated) Managed C++ wrapper around some native API. Compare to a purely version my application has some performance issue and I just realized it is probably due to the security check which happen just before each of the (numerous) call into this native API. Now I know that, perhaps, I could tag my MC++ wrapper with <SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurityAttribute> But I wonder if there is not an other call I could place in the Main() function (such as Permission.Demand() or stuff like that) which will achieve the same result?

    - Accessing fileshare using system.IO I have a machine in a domain 'HOME' and a machine in a DMZ which is not able to communicate with the 'HOME' domain, and thus has it's own local users and groups. I'm writing a .NET assembly which will copy files from the machine in the domain to the machine in the DMZ. When mapping a drive in Explorer I use the credentials of the DMZ machine: NLIIS405\copyuser, password: copyuser. This proves that the connection is available. The problem is the file.copy in the assembly. I always get an access denied because I should copy the file using the DMZ machine credentials. Is there a way to copy files from the domain machine to the DMZ machine using a DMZ machine login? I suspect it has to do with impersonation, but don't know if the above is possible.

    - ADFS and Windows Sharepoint Services I need to prove to my boss that ADFS will work well with WSS so that we can have one central datastore (Active Directory) which is in a different domain to the web server. I have gone through the ADFS step-by-step guide and proven that I can authenticate to the adfsresource federation server when I try to access the WSS web server on the adfsweb server when both adfsweb and adfsresource are in the same domain. Both adfsweb and adfsresource are in the same domain (treyresearch.net). I need to prove that the sharepoint accounts can be on a different server that is not in the same domain as the web server. Therefore I have removed adfsweb from the treyresearch.net domain (and restarted) and edited the trust policy on the adfsresource server to allow claims from the WSS application at the url https://adfsweb. I also created certificates to reflect the new name of adfsweb (instead of adfsweb.treyresearch.net). Now, when I browse to https://adfsweb, I am able to successfully authentication via ADFS. I know this because if I enter the credentials correctly, I can reach the WSS application and if I don't enter them correctly I get a IIS 403 error. When I *do* enter the credentails correctly however I also get a WSS error telling me that I don't have access to these Sharepoint resources (in other words, WSS does not recognise the user). It seems that when the federation server is not in the same domain as the web server then I can't log in. But isn't ADFS supposed to allow authentication users located in other domains? Or is my architecture wrong? The architecture that I currently have is as follows: * adfsweb : IIS with adfs web agent (not in any domain) configured as per the step-by-step guide. * adfsresource (this is just the name that the step-by-step guide gave for the server storing the WSS user accounts, but for my purposes this particular federation server is acting more like an account provider): adfs is configured to accept token-based claims from adfsweb (as per the step-by-step guide). adfsresource is also in the treyresearch.net domain.

    - Application.ThreadException does NOT catch all exceptions Hi, First the basics: I use VS 2005, .net 2.0, its a C# winforms application which is single threaded. Now my problem: I use the Application.ThreadException and AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException ExceptionHandlers to catch all exceptions in my app. My programm consists of some projects. One is a DLL for the BizLogic and one is my WinForms Client. The client uses many methods from the DLL. When the DLL is throwing an exception and the client has no try catch, then the Application.ThreadException is handling the exception (with a userfriendly dialog). This works in 99% of all cases. But now I have an exception, VS stops there (as usual) and tells me the exception is unhandled in user code (it also often say that), but when I press Continue, then my Application.ThreadException Handler is NOT executed. Also the runtime says nothing! So I have an unhandled exception in my program and even .net doesn't care about. Any ideas? Thanks, Rainer. Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119483

Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 3. IIS 6.0 My application is an ASP.NET web application and this application can be started with providing log-in credentials through a logon page. These credentials are nothing but the users organizational network userid/password. The application will impersonate the user by examining the Active Directory, and then proceed. I am using the windows authentication mode -- following are the entries of my web.config file: <authentication mode="Windows"/> <identity impersonate="true"/> In IIS, I am using both "Integrated Windows Authentication" and "Anonymous Access". Also, my application pool uses "Local System" identity. Now, after calling the Impersonate() method of the WindowsIdentity class, I am loading an assembly (the assembly is NOT stored in GAC) like: Assembly a = Assembly.LoadFrom("myassembly.dll"); IMyType vType = (IMyType)Activator.CreateInstance(a.GetType("mytype", false, true)); Now, when I run this application, depending on the user, two different things happen: Scenario 1: The userid that I pass in the logon screen is the userid of a user who is a member of the administrators group of the web server. Result: Works fine. Scenario 2: The userid that I pass in the logon screen is the userid of a user who is NOT a member of the administrators group of the web server.

I show the keyexponent and keymodulus of the public key, and the D parameter of the private key, with the following C# code: --------------- PfxOpen pfx = new PfxOpen(); String pfxFilename = @"E:\Prototype\Test\Release2\key.pfx"; String password = "geheim"; if(!pfx.LoadPfx(pfxFilename, ref password)) { throw new Exception("Failed to load pfx"); } CspParameters cspParameters = new CspParameters(); cspParameters.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore; cspParameters.KeyContainerName = pfx.container; RSACryptoServiceProvider rsaCryptoServiceProvider = new RSACryptoServiceProvider(cspParameters); RSAParameters rsaParameters = rsaCryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(true); MessageBox.Show("container: " + pfx.container + "\n\n" + "keyexponent: " + ByteArrayToString(pfx.keyexponent) + "\n\n" + "keymodulus: " + ByteArrayToString(pfx.keymodulus) + "\n\n" + "D: " + ByteArrayToString(rsaParameters.D) ); --------------- I'm using PfxOpen.cs and win32.cs from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dncapi/html/pkcs12.asp and I'm using .NET framework version 1.1.

    - FTP Seek It seems that seeking on a NetworkStream created by WebClient.OpenRead to read a file over FTP is not supported. I read through the FtpControlStream and FtpDataStream classes to verify this. I would recommend that support for seeking be added. It can be implemented by sending the REST FTP command which is the FTP equivalent command for seek. Note that servers are not required to support this command but when they do, it should be available. Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119470

    - What is the difference between a manifest file and a config file? Hi All, I am a newbie with .NET. I am trying to get some RTC integration to work. So basically, i have the following structure: 1. I have imported the TLB file relating to the rtcdll.dll (which is a unmanaged dll file), thereby creating a managed dll file. 2. I refer to this dll file in my C# project. Everytime i run the project, i keep bumping into some exceptions, which i realized was caused because the wrong dll file was being loaded up! So, basically i have around three difference versions of the rtcdll file (installed by what operations -- i have no clue) Then next thing i do is place a <my-app-name>.exe.manifest file which is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0"> <assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" processorArchitecture="x86" name="Microsoft.Windows.Networking.RTCPresence" type="win32" /> <description>RTC Presence</description> <dependency> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity type="win32" name="Microsoft.Windows.Networking.RtcDll" version="5.2.1002.3" processorArchitecture="X86" publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df" language="*" /> </dependentAssembly> </dependency> </assembly> When i use this manifest file, everything works like a charm. :-) But then VS 2005 does not have an option of creating a manifest file.. So, i am lost again. Now, i happened to read about config files, and i was wondering, how could i transform the above manifest information into the config file. Eventually, i will need all this information bundled into the dll file that i am generating, which will inturn be refered by some webservices. Now, can someone please tell me what is the difference between config and manifest file? Next, is it possible to use the config file in place of the manifest file? I am totally lost about .NET and I have no clue on getting all these items tied up together. I am really looking forward to some enlightening questions. regards, My Env: .NET 2.0 / VS 2005 Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119461

    - Creating a new object of a GetType() type throws an exception. Why? Hi, I need to create a new object of the same type as another variable is. Since I do not know the exact type (it varies within the function), I need to get the original type using GetType(). I've found somewhere on the internet that the new variable can be created this way: Object celldata = row.ItemArray.GetValue(i); Object newobj = Activator.CreateInstance(celldata.GetType()); The second line throws an exception "A constructor without parameters is not defined for this object." Why? celldata is typed as string at this moment... Thanks for any help... With regards Paul Jones Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119445

    - ExecutionEngineException I can fairly reliably (but not exactly) reproduce this error when running my application under .NET 1.1. Under .NET 2.0 it has never (yet) happened. There seems to be quite a wide range of opinion on the cause of and the response to this error. Is there a definitive answer to whether misbehaving code causes the error? Several articles claim that if the error doesn't occur under .NET 2.0 then no further effort should be expended. Is that true? Any response is appreciated.

    - ASP.NET 2.0 help with iis I have installed Visual Studio 2005 standard edition. I have purchased Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 step by step. I am attempting to work through the text. My computer is running Media Center Edition. When I install IIS, I get version 5.0 and can not get the extension .aspx into the configuration for the local host web pages. I am logged in with an id that is a part of the local admin group. As a result of this situation I can not browse to pages with <% in the file. Can someone help me get iis installed with version 6 or how I can add the extension aspx to the config?

    - what are xml schemas Hello I am a .net developer and normally see the entries like <webparts xmlns="schemas.microsoft.com/webparts/v2> I get confused here about what does xmlns refers to and how does the program locates this schema.

    - What permission do I need to add a user to a group? (C#) I am trying to determine all the groups which the current user has permissions to add a member. Here's my code: foreach (System.DirectoryServices.SearchResult ADSearchres in ADSearch.FindAll()) { //ActiveDs.ADSearchres.Properties["ntSecurityDescriptor"] ADChild = ADSearchres.GetDirectoryEntry(); foreach (ActiveDirectoryAccessRule ace in ADChild.ObjectSecurity.GetAccessRules(true, true, typeof(SecurityIdentifier))) { if (System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups.Contains(ace.IdentityReference)) if (ace.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Allow) { ActiveDirectoryRights rights = ace.ActiveDirectoryRights; if ((rights & ActiveDirectoryRights.WriteProperty) == ActiveDirectoryRights.WriteProperty) { GroupListAddItem(ADChild); break; } } } } I had thougth that "ActiveDirectoryRights.WriteProperty" would have been the one I wanted. When I do this with a limited access user, though, it still lists all my groups :( Suggestions? Help?

    - Registry entry for #monitors on PC I have three monitors on my desktop, and I just bought a laptop which of course has only one screen. The software I've written on the desktop takes advantage of the three screens by positioning various output on the left, middle, or right screen, so I will need to modify it to run on the laptop. To do this, it would be helpful if my software could automatically determine how many screens are on the PC the software is currently running on. Is there a registry key or some other source that would tell me how many monitors are currently running on the PC? -- Ed Tag: Testing Frameworks Tag: 119425

I have both .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0 installed on my machine.

I wrote an program that I'd like to test against both versions of the
Framework.

The program is a Windows Form executable that was written against .NET 1.1

How do I select the version of the Framework that the program uses when
launching?

Thanks,

Jon

Hello Jon,

You can use assemblyBinding key of the application config
Read more about it there http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7wd6ex19.aspx

Thanks for the reply, guys.

I looked at the app config stuff briefly.

Let's say I do nothing, and don't include a config file.

Will my app run if the user *only* has .NET framework 2.0 installed
even if it was compiled against 1.1?

Is it absoluetly necessary to include a config file to ensure
the app will try to run on .NET 2.0?

Of course, I'm assuming there aren't any compatiblity issues
with my program.

Jon
