    - PocketPC 2003 unable to get device ID using KernelIoControl Hi, I can not get the device ID of PocketPC 2003 devices. I have been using the code at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetcomp/html/retrievedeviceid.asp The KernelIoControl call always returns a status of ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_BUFFER. It tells me that the required buffer size is 36, but gives this error even when I set the buffer size to 36. I read in another post that it has something to do with PocketPC 2003 apps running in user mode only, which does not give me the permission to call KernelIoControl? If thats the case, is there any way in PocketPC 2003 to get a device ID? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tony Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 73263

    - A simple Text Template tool Hi, I was trying to use Galois.Net to specify code generators and I had to look for some text template tool to simplify the syntax. I was looking for something similar to the syntax of an Asp.Net page; for example, a template file could look like the following: <%@ Assembly Name="ReturnString.dll" %> <html> <title>Testing generator</title> <body> <p> Hello <%= ReturnString.Val() %> <p> </body> </html> and if the ReturnString.dll is compiled from the following code: public class ReturnString { public static string Val() { return "World"; } } we should expect the output to be: <html> <title>Testing generator</title> <body> <p> Hello World <p> </body> </html> I wrote such a tool and I decided to post here because it might save other people a few hours of works since it was not completely trivial. Galois.Net can be found at http://www.a2ii.com/galois/index.htm .And using it to specify code generators, I have the impression that "I'm going places". I haven't done much testing but it was sufficient for my need. To use it, you should compile the code below e.g. "csc TextTemplateTool.cs". And run it, with the command: "TextTemplateTool hello.txt" where you saved the template text above in a file named "hello.txt". (You should also have compiled the ReturnString.dll assembly i.e. csc /out:library ReturnString.cs). NOTE: the "code behind" facility expect the dll to be in the same directory as the application). I have tried to keep the code to a strict minimum. You shouldn't have problems extend it to suit your needs.

    - Problems running apps on Citrix for non-admins My managed WinForms application is running fine on Citrix when logged in as a local administrator. When running it as a normal user, it seemed not to even start. To diagnose the problem, I wrote a simple HelloWorld WinForms app that has the exact same behavior. To continue the investigation, I ran SysInternal's FileMon program which revealed that a drwatson.log and user.dmp file were being created. Apparently when an regular user runs a .NET app on our Citrix server, a stack overflow is occurring. Has anyone got any ideas. I'd be happy to forward anyone interested the drwatson log file.

    - RichTextBox flicker solved The RichTextBox control in .NET (1.1) seems to have a flicker problem. A search of google revealed a lot of advice to remove flicker when reformatting and coloring the text, but no one seems to know how to remove the flicker when you simply enter text and there's more than about a thousand characters. To see this problem, drag a rich text box onto a form. Make it around 600 by 600 pixels, and turn the font up to 12 pt. Run the program and enter four or five lines of text. You get a lot of flicker on any further edits, and the problem gets worse as the control gets bigger and the length of text gets higher. The answer seems to be to add this code to a subclass of RichTextBox, which throws away a particular event. I'm not sure how it works, and YMMV, but my homegrown MySQL based personal journal software is now much more pleasant to write in. class FlickerFreeRichTextBox : RichTextBox { protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if ((m.Msg != 0x2111) || ((((uint)m.WParam >> 16) & 0xFFFF) != 768)) base.WndProc(ref m); } } I'm only posting this because I had quite a time finding the answer, and I thought this would make it easier for future seekers. It's amazing a bug this big got into the framework. Well, appalling, at least. Chris Capel Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 73244

    - What does GC.GetTotalMemory really tell us? Jon Skeet posted some code in another thread using the GC.GetTotalMemory(true) method as a way to demonstrate the amount of memory being allocated for a certain data type. That method was new to me and I thought it looked like a great simple way to implement some general memory monitoring. So I put a timer on my Mdi parent form and had it display the results of that call every couple of seconds. When the results were pretty weird compared to what I expected, I wrote the following console app. I think I understand why the results do what they do except: - Why the big 11k jump when the hog is created? Is that mostly the MemoryHog class itself? - Why the jump and not drop when hog is set to null? Also, if I understand the documentation for passing true in the parameter, doing so doesn't necessarily guarantee collection of all generations, only whatever can be done in a preset amount of time. Not that it probably matters in my scenario, but just for my curiosity. -------------------- using System; using System.IO; namespace JunkConsoleApp { public class TestClass { public static void Main() { long howMuchBefore = 0L; long howMuchDuring = 0L; long howMuchAfter = 0L; long memorybeforeCall = 0L; long memoryAfterCall = 0L; howMuchBefore = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("Memory Before:\t\t{0}", howMuchBefore); MemoryHog hog = new MemoryHog(); howMuchDuring = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("Memory with hog:\t{0}", howMuchDuring); hog = null; GC.Collect(GC.MaxGeneration); // Just to be absolutely sure! GC.Collect(GC.MaxGeneration); howMuchAfter = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("Memory After:\t\t{0}", howMuchAfter); Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 50)); memorybeforeCall = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-Before call: \t{0}", memorybeforeCall); TestMethod(); memoryAfterCall = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-After return:\t{0}", memoryAfterCall); Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 50)); memorybeforeCall = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-Before call: \t{0}", memorybeforeCall); TestMethod(); memoryAfterCall = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-After return:\t{0}", memoryAfterCall); Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 50)); Console.WriteLine("Press a key"); Console.Read(); } public static void TestMethod() { long memoryAtStart = 0L; long memoryWithHog = 0L; memoryAtStart = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-Start:\t\t\t{0}", memoryAtStart); MemoryHog hog = new MemoryHog(); memoryWithHog = GC.GetTotalMemory(true); Console.WriteLine("TestMethod-With hog:\t\t\t{0}", memoryWithHog); } } class MemoryHog { private string s1 = "hello"; private string s2 = "hello"; private string s3 = "hello"; private string s4 = "hello"; private string s5 = "hello"; } } // namespace JunkConsoleApp Tag: Using 'as' for value types...

    - How do I retrieve the Control Type Name? I am writing an application (in C++) to interrogate the controls on any currently running .NET application. Most of the information I need I can retrieve from the window and class information available through the HWNDs retrieved using the EnumChildWindows() API. My problem occurs with controls that have the class name like 'WindowsForms10.BUTTON.app3'. So far I have seen this class name used for button, checkbox, radio button and group box controls, and basically all the other windows' styles are the same for each control type. The only way to distinguish these controls is by the control type name, and as far as I can see this property cannot be accessed from an external process. However I have noticed that at runtime controls within a .NET application seem to have a property/variable called 'WM_GETCONTROLNAME' which appears to me to be a type of windows message. Sending this value as a windows message to a .NET control has no effect. Could someone please tell me if this WM_GETCONTROLNAME can provide me with the functionality I need or do I need to inject my own code into the running process in order to retrieve the information I need from the inside???

So I'd like to check what version the user has, and use interop towards that version. The functions I use are the same for 2000, XP and 2003.

    - Nasty No-touch Deployment Problems Dear Al Iâ??d be grateful for any suggestions as to how I might solve some nasty problems Iâ??m having with no-touch deployment (NTD) of WinForms applications. The problems are on two more-or-less identical production Windows Server 2003 machines that have recently undergone lots of changes â?? mainly centred around the installation of Macromediaâ??s JRun 4 and ColdFusion MX products to support a third-party application my organisation has bought The first problem is that following these changes, my WinForms apps that have previously worked fine using NTD now cause a File Download dialogue box to appear on the client PC rather than the application main form. To get the application to appear users have to pretend to save the EXE (by clicking on Save then clicking on Cancel when the Save As dialogue appears) after which calling the URL again results in the application main form being displayed - but only for that session. (On a test server that has not been subjected to all the changes the application behaves as expected with NTD. The second problem is that I now want to deploy an application that uses a custom DLL. This application works fine on a test server, but when I move it to one of the production machines with an identical setup as far as the virtual directory is concerned the .NET Framework throws a System.IO.FileNotFoundException, saying that â??File or assembly name MyCustomDLL, or one of its dependencies, was not found.â? It would seem that the configuration changes to the production servers are the cause of the problems, but I'm at a loss as to how I might track down the specific change. Iâ??ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling ASP.NET with aspnet_regiis but still no joy. My next thought was to uninstall and reinstall the .NET Framework, but of course itâ??s built-in to WS 2003 and the only way to repair seems to be an in-place upgrade which I donâ??t want to have to do on production servers. Iâ??m pulling my hair out on this one so all suggestions as to what further investigations I might conduct gratefully received Thanks very much - Graham Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 73200

Our older ASP apps work fine with this database, but the three different ASP.Net and VB.Net Winforms test apps we have developed so far do not display uppercase French accented A and E characters correctly I have tried all the potential codepages that seem appropriate: IBM850, IBM863, Windows-1252, ISO-8859-x, utf-8, utf-16 and so forth. The closest seems to be IBM850 reponse and request encoding with the response.charset set to Windows-1252, or ISO-8859-1. As all of the ASP apps work fine and display the codepage 850 uppercase accented characters correctly on our three different desktops we have tried so far, it has to be a problem with the .Net managed provider for Oracle / the .Net codepage 850 implementation, as the same Oracle 8.1.7 client software is used for both the ASP and .Net applications on the client Because of this Oracle refuses to look into the matter, gleefully pointing out that it must be a Microsoft problem! : We have tried bland, vanilla test apps in .Net and the problem is always there. None of the older ASP apps (that just use defaults for character sets and codepages etc.) have any problems. All of the desktops have the NLS_LANG parameters set correctly and it DOES seem to be a Microsoft, .Net-specific problem I have tried MSDN and web searches to no avail up to yet. Having wasted two to three days trying different solutions, I am now desperate for "official" assistance from Microsoft. I am working for AMITA Corp (Ottawa, Canada) and they are a Microsoft Solution Provider, so hopefully we can get some support on this, as we are now almost certain that it IS a .Net bug in the IBM850 codepage support in .Net. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. The Oracle DBA's have washed their hands of the matter and are suggesting we forget about .Net and revert to using Oracle whatever's! Of course we do NOT want to accede to that suggestion!!! ; Can anyone from Microsoft (or anywhere else for that matter) help out here Barrie Gray Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 70661

    - Is this a bug in ?: Operator, the addition does not perform as expected I am posting the code snippet here. It seems to me that the ?: Operator is not behaving properly. It seems like it is a bug: TimeSpan ts1, ts2; float dayHours = 0; ts1 = (some_datetime_variable_1); ts2 = (some_datetime_variable_2); // ****************** Working Code ************************* // This computes dayHours correctly if(ts1.TotalHours > 0) dayHours = (float)ts1.TotalHours; if(ts2.TotalHours > 0) dayHours += (float)ts2.TotalHours; // ****************** Working Code ************************* // ****************** Non-Working Code ************************* // This does not add the portion after + sign dayHours = (float)(ts1.TotalHours > 0 ? ts1.TotalHours : 0 + ts2.TotalHours > 0 ? ts2.TotalHours : 0); // ****************** Non-Working Code ************************* As commented above, I am trying to condense the working code to one line using ? operator but the one line non-working code dows not add the variable after + sign. For example, if ts1.TotalHours is 4 and ts2.TotalHours is 3, the dayHours is computed as 4. Though, I can use the working code, which takes four lines but it is something I am doing wrong here or it is a bug in .NET Framework?

    - Attribute Construction/Validation, How? Hi, I am trying to writing my own custom attribute classes and would like to have the same level of functionality as some of the attribute classes that ship with the .NET Framework. Specifically I would like to be able to take action with my attribute at compile time. For example, the Guid Atribute will give you this error at compile time if you attempt to using it with an improperly formatted string: [Guid("garbage string")] public class Test { } Yields the compiler error: 'Incorrect uuid format.' Another example of attributes taking action at compile time is the ComImportAttribute. Attempting to use this attribute by itself causes the following to happen: [ComImport] public class AnotherTest { } Yields the following two compiler errors: 'The Guid attribute must be specified with the ComImport attribute' 'A class with the ComImport attribute cannot have a user-defined constructor' I would really like to have this kind of flexibility with my own custom attributes. Is this at all possible? I sadly suspect the answer is no. As a matter of fact, it seems as if user defined attributes can only be accessed (and only invoked once reflected) at runtime. If this is not the case, could someone explain how it is possible to take action with user defined attribute at compile time, and even load time? Thanks in advance. Tag: Using 'as' for value types...

    - trying to get user properties from Active Directory Hi all, I have a good background in vbscript and know fairly well how to read and write active directory with it. I just passed now to vb.net and the gap is quiete impressive.... What I find most diffucult, however, is the declaration of the variables. In vbscript these do not need to be declared or specified the type. Now, what I need to do is to bind a computer and read the "userSharedFolderOther" attribute. I have a simple vbscript which does the job but my vb.net cannot read this property. I believe the problem might be in the variable not been declared correctly. I simply declared it as "Dim My var". I guess I should add something like "as ...." but I don't know the type of variable...is it string ???? I can read other attributes fine, but not this one.... However, this is the code...(only the interesting part)... Dim pcPrinter Searcher.PropertiesToLoad.Add("userSharedFolderOther") pcPrinter = (Computer.Properties("userSharedFolderOther").Item(0)) If IsArray(pcPrinter) Then For Each Printer In pcPrinter MsgBox(Printer) Next Else MsgBox(Printer) End If Error: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. vb.net Says the guilty line is the one that starts with pcPrinter... Can you help me out pls ? Thanks in advance !!!!! Bar Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 70623

    - Component dependencies, BeginInit() and Endinit() Component A has a reference to Component B. Both implement ISupportInitialize. In Component A's EndInit() routine, its initialization has been finished so it triggers an even which Component B will handle. But Component B's EndInit() has possibly not been called yet, and is therefore not prepared to handle Component A's event. Is there a good solution to this design problem in .NET ?

    - StartPosition.CenterParent Hi Guys and Gals, I have a small, two form, application. Form1 is the main window and Form2 is a small window that has a label and a progress bar on it. I wish to display form2 whilst doing some processing in Form1 and update Form2 as the processing is being completed. I have the update functionality working properly, what I can't seem to get working is the functionality of being able to position Form2 in the centre of Form1. I have set the StartPosition property to CenterParent, but I can't seem to find a property where I can set the parent property of Form2. Forms do have a Parent property, unfortunately it's read only. I can get the form to behave, more or less, correctly if I use ShowDialog instead of Show but that holds up processing whilst the form waits to receive input it can pass back to the main form, which of course is not ever going to come, as the form has no inputs of any kind. The application is not an MDI application so I can't use the MDIParent property. I would also like to stop the form from being moved. Anyone know what property or properties need to be set to make this happen? And I'd like to turn off it's titlebar if possible. Thanks Regards Greg Tag: Using 'as' for value types... Tag: 70605

    - xml.xmldocument.load does it load document to memory? I am making a simple app that groups files together by storing them into an xml document. But here is my concern. The xml file that is being loaded could be a gigabyte in size or it could just be 100k. So my question is that if I use the xml.xmldocument.load method does the data in that document get loaded into memory or does it stay on disk until you navigate down the nodes hiarchy Here is a simple exampl Dim x As New Xml.XmlDocument( x.Load("test.xml" MsgBox(x.DocumentElement.ChildNodes(0).ChildNodes(0).InnerText x = Nothin Now from the above example does the xmldocuent object build/load the childnodes structure and load the corresponding xml data into those nodes (IE: into memory) or when I type x.DocumentElement.ChildNodes(0).ChildNodes(0).InnerText) is it retrieving the xml data directly from the xml file itself Again my only concern is that if I do this x.Load("test.xml") and the test.xml file is a gig in size for example, im afraid the app will throw an exception Tag: Using 'as' for value types...

In many occasions I found code like this (especially in Microsoft's code)

object obj1
num1 = 0
[...
if ((obj1 as short) != 0

num1 = ((short) obj1)

But when I try to do it I get an error on (obj1 as short) saying that "The as operator must be used with a reference type ('short' is a value type)

So how come it works for others but not for me

Thanx

Andrew,

>In many occasions I found code like this (especially in Microsoft's code):

I don't think I've ever seen such code. Got any pointers to it?

>But when I try to do it I get an error on (obj1 as short) saying that "The as operator must be used with a reference type ('short' is a value type)"
>

It doesn't work. Are you sure you're not confusing it with

if (obj is short) ...
