    - How do I launch a process with parameters I would like to launch a process within .NET (C#) with parameters. I have temporarily gotten around this issue by writing this command to a batch file & launching the batch file without arguments, but would like to launch it directly from .NET. My process looks like something like this: "C:\Program Files\Create File.exe" -c -s 1500 Mb -t 0 "C:\temp folder\File Created.tmp" I got the samples working, such as launching notepad with a file, or launching IE with a URL but the above command did not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98566

    - Untrappable System.Net.Sockets.OverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback exception Hi, I've a c# windows service constantly communicating with an ASP.NET web service. After running for sometime, I am getting the following exception at the windows service (client): Object reference not set to an instance of an object. [Stack Trace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.ClearRequestForResubmit() at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.DoSubmitRequestProcessing() at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.SetResponse(CoreResponseData coreResponseData) at System.Net.ConnectionReturnResult.SetResponses(ConnectionReturnResult returnResult) at System.Net.Connection.ReadCallback(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.Sockets.OverlappedAsyncResult.CompletionPortCallback(UInt32 errorCode, UInt32 numBytes, NativeOverlapped* nativeOverlapped)] Since this exception doesn't occure in any code block, I can only catch it by doing the following: AppDomain currentDomain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; currentDomain.UnhandledException += new UnhandledExceptionEventHandler(DefaultHandler); In my DefaultHandler, I've the failover code. Even then, the windows service doesn't fully recover. All the static variables (reference types) in the class just loose their referrence. What's going on?

    - Excel in VB.NET form I need to display Excel data in a Windows form, and I also need to be able to update the data in cells, and allow users to enter data. I added a reference to OWC components in my project and I have a form with an AxSpreadsheet control in it. However, AxSpreadsheet is a Web control and I am running into stumbling blocks. Before I buy Alvin Bruney's book on this topic, I would like to know for certain that I can create a user-editable spreadsheet in a Windows form, and save and retrieve the data in xml or xls files. I don't want to proceed down a blind alley when my alternative is simply to use the Excel application itself. Thanks. Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98561

    - Documenting .NET Class Usage We have a number of fore 'Helper' classes that are used throughout our application. All code for the application is in VB.NET. I have been asked to produce some documentation which will list usage for particular methods in these 'Helper' classes so that out BA's can assess the impact of any changes to these classes and hence modify their test plans accordingly. This documentation is aimed at our BA's\PM's that don't have VS.NET installed. Likely destination for the results are either a compiled help file or intranet or both. Where on earth do I start?

    - Can a service abort system shutdown? Hi, Is it possible for a windows service to abort a system shutdown? By registering for the shutdown event with the SCM (by setting System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.CanShutdownproperty to true), the service is notified of a system shutdown. But the service has only about 30secs to finish processing. Is it possible for a system service to abort the shutdown? (Something like what a windows application can do by handling SessionEnding event). Thanks, Roshan Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98537

    - Debugging Hi, Im running a .net program I have made and all runs fine, but randomly it will reset itself without warning . The program is a touchscreen program and runs full screen forms ( borderless ). My first thought was a memory leak so I have been watching memory usage via the task manager. It seems that everytime I perform an action in the program ( all action use datasets and data fetches or local xml fills ) the memory usage increases by 5mb. As a test I performed about 70 actions with the program and at the end found that the memory usage was up close to 150mb. Knowing that the Garbage Collector should be collecting any memory that is out of scope ( all forms containing the datasets are closed ) I left the program running on the login screen for 15mins. When I came back I was presuming that the disgard memory would have been collected. But It hadnt, strangly enough the only way the mem used would drop was when I minimized the program and a few minutes later maximized it again. What im asking is : 1.) Does it sound like a memory leak ? or am I wasting my time looking for a leak as this is perfectly normal action for a program ? 2.) If its not a memory leak - what could be causing my program to reset itself ? on the initial form I added an onclose check ( yes / no msgbox ) as a test, but when it reset this check doesnt show. 3.) If it is a memory leak how do I begin tracking it ? I have no experience of finding this kind of error, as the usual stop and step into obviously wont work.

    - DataGrid: Read-Only Delay Okay, as a good neighbor, after searching through the different newsgroup posts without anyone with a similar issue, here's my problem... I have a little c# application with two little forms. One of them containing a DataGrid widget/component with two buttons. One for quiting and the other one calls the second form, which is used to collect data from the user that's then added to the DataGrid on the first form. It's a pretty simple setup. The idea is to keep the DataGrid with its Read-Only property set to true, and using the second form to collect the information for the first one. BTW, the second form also has two buttons: one to cancel the operation and the other one to complete it. The issue is that I started noticing that with this setup when I went to add entries to the DataGrid (using the second form) there was a delay of about two seconds while completing the first entry to the DataGrid. All other subsequent entries to the DataGrid were rather quick, as expected. It was just the first entry where I encountered the delay. Well, I'm using a datatable and a dataset, but these are already active by the time I input data. Not knowing what to do, I started playing around, and decided to try the exact operation with the DataGrid's Read-Only property set to false. Now, the delay was gone. Yes, it could certainly be something else also, but without changing anything else the delay was gone. Heck, maybe this is a known issue, but I certainly didn't know about it. Regardless of the implementation, which certainly could have a major influence on this, why would this property affect the speed of adding data to the widget?

    - .NET 2.0 beta and regex regular expressions Hi, I'm porting an app. from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0 and unfortunately the existing regexs don't work. Theres no mention of problems or differences with regex in the current beta release of .NET 2.0, I'm just wondering if my original expression was 'broken'? The regex is: Regex hrefExpression = new Regex("href\\s*=\\s*[\"']?((?:[^>]|[^\\s]|[^\"]|[^'])+)[\"']?"); it's purpose is to extract URLs from HTML links. In .NET 1.1 it will take a string like <a href=blah.html></a> and give me a group with blah.html In .NET2 it seems to match everything after the URL aswell. Any ideas? Only thing I found on the net was a guy with the same problem: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework/browse_frm/thread/43876377b41545a5/343595f830499738?q=dotnet+2.0+beta+regex&rnum=1&hl=en#343595f830499738 Thanks Jim Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98524

    - FolderBrowserDialog crashes on Windows 2000? FolderBrowserDialog crashes on my Windows 2000 computer. Here is a C# test program: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public class InstanceForm : Form { private FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDialog; private String folderName; private MainMenu mainMenu; private MenuItem menuItem_Brow; private MenuItem menuItem_File; public InstanceForm () { mainMenu = new MainMenu(); menuItem_File = new MenuItem(); menuItem_File.Text = "&File"; menuItem_Brow = new MenuItem(); menuItem_Brow.Text = "&Select Directory..."; menuItem_Brow.Shortcut = Shortcut.CtrlS; menuItem_Brow.Click += new EventHandler (MenuItem_OnClick); mainMenu.MenuItems.Add (menuItem_File); menuItem_File.MenuItems.Add (menuItem_Brow); folderBrowserDialog = new FolderBrowserDialog(); folderBrowserDialog.Description = "Select directory:"; Menu = mainMenu; Text = "Test Folder Browser Dialog"; } private void MenuItem_OnClick (object sender, EventArgs e) { DialogResult result; result = folderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog (); if (result == DialogResult.OK) { folderName = folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath; } } [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run (new InstanceForm ()); } } Under Windows 2000, 4 of 10 times, it crashed first time I tried to display the FolderBrowserDialog. I ran the tests right after rebooting. To run the test, start the program, and press Ctrl-S. The times it did not immediately crash, if I kept bringing up the FolderBrowserDialog, it crashed pretty soon. Has not crashed on Windows XP computer. When it crashes, it's immediately after it displays the FolderBrowserDialog. The dialog appears normal. An error message window appears - 'The instruction at "address" referenced memory at "address". The memory could not be "read". The two addresses are always the same. After closing error message window, a second error message window appears - 'program has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.' The log file is a huge binary file. No exception gets written to the console. It would surprise me if FolderBrowserDialog crashed Windows 2000, and nobody reported it before. But I have no way of knowing at this point. Maybe there is something flakey with my computer. Sometimes Windows Explorer does crash on the computer, but it's been more than a month. To help figure this out: *** Has FolderBrowserDialog crashing been reported before, either on Microsoft site or elsewhere? I could not find. *** Can you run the program under Windows 2000, bring up dialog multiple times, and post whether it crashes or not? *** Has anyone used FolderBrowserDialog in a desktop .NET application, and tested it to be stable with Windows 2000? *** If this is a known problem, is there an alternative suggested way for selecting a directory under Windows 2000? *** If this turns out to be a problem with my computer, any hints what the problem might be?

    - Can not isntall SP1 of .Netframework Hi All, I got the following Error when I try to run my ASP.NET app ,hosted by IIS 5.1 in windows xp. Event Type: Error Event Source: ASP.NET 1.1.4322.0 Event Category: None Event ID: 1000 Date: 6/20/2005 Time: 5:21:02 PM User: N/A Computer: MYBENQ Description: aspnet_wp.exe (PID: 3396) stopped unexpectedly. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. I was told to install .Net Framework SP1 and when I tru to install it be windows update ,it simply fails (windows update logfile is at the bottom).When I try to install SP1 ,it says that I need to install version 2.056.... of .Net framework.I cannot underestand why it is asking me that. Problem started from when I **uninstalled** Beta version of VS 2005 and Beta 2 of VS 2005 and SQLSERVER CTP.Everything was working fine when I had even all of them on my mahine ,but when I unistall them everything got screwed up.

    - The given path format is not supported. I have a windows service that reads an encrypted password out of a file located locally on the server. When it attempts to use the following code, it gets the error listed above. StreamReader myFile =new StreamReader(Filename, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8); This code works locally on my machine as well as my DEV, TEST, and STAGE servers. I have been attempting to move this code to the PROD servers, but it fails when attempting this line of code. Additional Info: The windows service runs under the Local System account. The FileName parameter looks something like @"D:\timertask\timertaskservice\Password.txt". I have investigated every related article I could find including validating the System environmental variables for TMP and TEMP.

    - ClickOnce & user accessibility? Let says my application is for the average end user at home. I want to install the application so all the user of the computer could use it (like when an MSI as: would you like to install this application for you only? or all user accessing this computer?) Is it possible to do that with installed (as opposed to online) click once application? Also, should the deployment server be an IIS server? Or could it be, uh.. let say.. Apache on MacOSX?

    - problem with events between C# and VB projects... I'm writing a client/server application but have run into a very strange behavior since I started mixing C# and VB.net. On the client end there are 4 projects. 1. Common.dll, written in VB, which contains the network protocol to be shared between the client and the server. 2. Client.dll, written in C#, which contains the client side network code and events to connect to the server. 3. ClientA.exe, a client in vb 4. ClientB.exe, a client in C# What is supposed to happen is when I receive a message from the server, Client.dll fires an event with the message (type BaseMessage), defined in Common.dll in ClientA it refuses to build with the following error: Method 'Public Sub OnMessage(baseMessage As Common.ClientNetwork.Parameters.BaseMessage)' does not have the same signature as delegate 'Delegate Sub ReceivedMessageEventHandler(baseMessage As BaseMessage)'. but in ClientB it works just fine. code in clienta for adding the event handler is: AddHandler Client.Network.NetworkEvents.ReceivedMessage, New Client.Network.NetworkEvents.ReceivedMessageEventHandler(AddressOf OnMessage) Sub OnMessage(ByVal baseMessage As Common.ClientNetwork.Parameters.BaseMessage) while in clientb it is: Client.Network.NetworkEvents.ReceivedMessage += new Client.Network.NetworkEvents.ReceivedMessageEventHandler(NetworkEvents_ReceivedMessage); public void NetworkEvents_ReceivedMessage(Common.ClientNetwork.Parameters.BaseMessage baseMessage) I've tried various combinations of imports and function declarations but it doesnt seem to make any difference, i'm pretty lost right now. Hopefully I included all the pertinent information. anyone have any ideas? thank you. Lloyd SLOW30 Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98466

    - AssemblyVersion numbers and recompiling code Can someone please point me to an Article (Knowledge base or otherwise), or FAQ, or white paper, that explains the relationship of DLL AssemblyVersion numbers and needing to recompile code. Most interesting will be those cases when the changes to the DLL are insignificant but the DLL's version number still changes. When *must* I recompile the code that uses a changed DLL? When can I safely ignore compiler warnings? We've gotten into the mode where all production code is re-compiled and re-installed for every change to a DLL. I think this is overkill. Sometimes we change the DLL and purposely do not increment its version number, thinking this will prevent version conflicts. Advise please. Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98461

    - Using WebRequest with a post method This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_001E_01C575C2.F0516AE0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm trying to get the WebRequest object working with a using post. I = imagine I doing something simple and obvious wrong but I just don't see = it. I've included the code that is at the heart of what I'm doing. When I = run this using "get" method ("m_HTMLmethod =3D "get"), everything works = mostly as expected. I say mostly because I don't understand why it = sends two unauthorized requests. In Fiddler what I see is the first = unauth request (expected), a 401 returned, I'm prompted for a = userid/password, but then I see another unauth request and another 401 = returned, then it sends the authorizied request (header: "Authorization: = Basic aWRi..."), even though I have PreAuthenticate set to true (perhaps = that doesn't do what I think it does). In any case with the "get" I'm = able to eventually read the expected HTML response. When I try this code using "post", I'm prompted for credentials and I = see (in Fiddler) the two unauthorized requests, then I get back the = following (WebException): "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a = send."

All calls are made with this pattern: Dim p as New Process p.StartInfo.FileName = <full path to the exe-file> p.StartInfo.Arguments = <arguments to the exe> p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True -- Regards, Lars JÃ¶nson Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98452

    - Printing to an Epson FX880 I have a program I built as a test to see if I can print to an Epson FX880 (dot-matrix). I am able to print to laser printers that are on JetDirect devices and I have successfully printed from my development machine to a OKI Microline 390Turbo which is hooked up to my LPT port. However, when I go to the location that will be using the program and try to print to their Epson, it acts like nothing is being sent. The Epson is on a JetDirect device and test prints from the printer icon and notepad successfully print. I am hoping someone has a suggestion on where I can go from here to get this to work: Here is the code technique I am using: ======================================= Imports System.IO Imports System.Drawing.Printing Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices .... Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal...) Dim pd As New PrintDialog s="Hello, this is a test" pd.PrinterSettings = New PrinterSettings RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName, s) End Sub ======================================== Any suggestions on how to do this are welcome. I just need a way to simply print. Scott Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98449

    - Custom controls - advice wanted I'm building a custom control based on scrollablecontrol. I want to show a tool panel in the client rectangle. This is a panel holding some text boxes etc through which the user enters business data. I want the Tool panel to 1. stay in the client rectangle when the user scrolls, and 2. be draggable (so that the user can drag it away from the business object he is viewing in the custom control). It doesn't seem to be possible to use a Form to do this. Is there another control I could use to meet the above requirements? Thanks, Nigel B -- Nigel Barton Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98442

    - Submitting XML to an URL Hello, I'm not sure this is the right place for this question, but hopefully somebody can help. I'm trying to build an in-memory XML file and submit it to an URL. Here's a sample code: //==================================================== HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://localhost/localurl.aspx"); request.ContentType="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; request.Method = "POST"; Stream myStream = request.GetRequestStream(); XmlTextWriter writer = new XmlTextWriter(myStream, null); writer.WriteStartElement("orders"); writer.WriteAttributeString("value","205"); writer.WriteEndElement(); writer.Flush(); myStream.Close(); //==================================================== For some reason, the URL I'm submitting to does not receive the XML. Anybody has any ideas why? Thnks in advance. Tag: TlbImp marshals array as single ref Tag: 98433

When I run TlbImp.exe on my COM dll, the IDL following has an array of
longs:

[local] HRESULT SomeMethod ([in] short nNumBlocks, [in, size_is(nNumBlocks)]
long *alBlocks, [out, retval] long *plRetVal);

The output creates this method, with a ref int where the array should be:

int SomeMethod (short nNumBlocks, ref int alBlocks);

I have also tried using 'long alBlocks[]' instead of the pointer, but that
doesn't work either. The [in, size_is(..)] *should* be indicating to TlbImp
that it's an array.

Can this be fixed (besides declaring the interface myself)?

Unfortunately the size_is information isn't stored in the typelib so
it's not available to TlbImp.
