    - MachineName = DomainName ??? Hi All, We're getting a situation where occasionally our queries to MachineName and DomainName are both returning the domain. We're using the following calls: System.Environment.MachineName System.Environment.UserDomainName The application deals with Active Directory, so we are assuming that our users are system admins who are logged into domains, not workgroups. Is there a bug in the framework, or am I just a net-tard? Any help, much appreciated. Chris Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86172

    - ArrayList adapter problem Here's some c# code: using System; using System.Collections; namespace AdapterProblem { class Class1 { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { ArrayList source = ArrayList.Adapter(new object [] {"1" , "2"}); ArrayList range = source.GetRange(1,1); ArrayList target = new ArrayList(); target.AddRange(range); Console.WriteLine(target[0] == null? "It's null" : target[0]); Console.ReadLine(); } } } I would expect this to print out the second element of source - i.e. the string "2". Actually it turns out that target[0] is null so the program prints "It's null". Is this a bug? If this behaviour is as it should be could someone please explain why? Tag: How.... ? Versions.....

    - Installed net framework; now I have to select an account when boot I recently installed NET framework on my XP home system. Now, instead of booting normally, I'm presented with an account screen that asks me to select an account to log into. The account screen only has one choice (my normal account), so it seems silly and pointless to have to select it. I've reviewed the documentation for bypassing this screen, and it says that other accounts have to be deleted from my User Accounts. Looking at my User Accounts, I now see three: my normal account, a Guest account (which is turned off), and one marked "ASP.NET Machine A...". Is this safe to delete? If not, how can I revert to a situation where my bootup is automatic? Many thanks, Josh Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86147

My account is the only one that appears on the start screen. It seems silly to have to select my account when I'm the only one who has an account on the system. However, under Control Panel>User Accounts, there are three listed: the one under my name (the same one that appears on the startup screen, that has to be elected), as well as "Guest" (and it says "Guest account is off") and an account called "ASP.NET MACHINE A...".

    - deployment of .NET Apps on Windows 2000 box Hello, I have developed a client and server app under VS 20003 in C# using .NET remoting. I created a setup install using the IDE and I am deploying the apps onto a Windows 2000 box running Service Pack 3. The 2000 box has the .NET framework, the ODBC Data Provider and a MySQL driver installed. The client app fires up ok but the server app does not. The only difference I see is that the server app registers a channel and connects to a MySQL database. The server app works fine under the Visual Studio 20003 IDE. Would anyone have any suggestions? Do I need service pack 4? I wouldn't think so. Do I need to have IIS installed? I am using the namespace System.Data.SQLClient, System.Data and Microsoft.Data.Odbc. with regards James Tag: How.... ?

    - Article : Assembly Linker (Al.exe .Net FrameWork Tools Series) Hi All, Assembly linker is a tool which is used to create an assembly by combining one or more .netmodules and resource files. In simple words an .netmodule is an IL file that does not have manifest in it .... you can say its an assembly without the manifest ... and hence a non -assembly file containing IL code. In the yesterday's example we saw how we can create the .resources file which by itself is a binary file containing your resource data. Today we will see how we can embed or link this .resource file with other .netmodules and create an assembly 1) Create 2 .netmodules say Module1.netmodule and Module2.netmodule 2) Create a .resources file say MyResources.resources (as we created in yesterdays article ... please to the same for more details) 3) Now type the follwoing command to combine these modules and binary resource file into a single assembly. // to create a dll. al Module1.netmodule Module2.netmodule /embed:MyResources.resources /out:MyExecutable.dll // to create an exe. al Module1.netmodule Module2.netmodule /embed:MyResources.resources /out:MyExecutable.exe /target:exe /Main:Class1.Main If you dont want to embed the resource file then use the /link option instead of /embed option with al.exe. Well if you have an want to embed or link a resource then you can compile the resource file when you are compliing the assembly with csc.exe or vbc.exe just use /resource to embed the resource or /linkresource with the assembly. You can also achieve this from VS.Net studio by including the resource file in the project and setting the Build Action of the resource type to Embedded Resource. Al is mainly used by a lot of developers to create resource satellite assemblies esp for creating multilingual applications by creating resource assemblies for various cultures. If only resource files are passed to Al.exe, the output file is a satellite resource assembly. E.g. To create an satellite assembly for french culture 1) Create a file named MyResource.fr-FR.txt 2) Type your name=value resource data in it to generate the resource file 3) generate the resource file with the name of MyResource.fr-FR.resources. 4) And finally create the satellite assembly as shown below for your application al /out:MyGlobApp.resources.dll /v:1.0.0.0/c:fr-FR /embed:MyResource.fr-FR.resources, Private Note : Check out the Private keyword in the above command. You can use the "private" option if you want dont want other assemblies to use the embedded resource files by default it is "public". 5) In this command we have specified the output file name , the version of this DLL , the culture "fr-FR" which denotes french and finally we are embedding the fr-FR.resources file in MyGlobApp.resources.dll 6) Place this file in bin\fr-FR folder of your application and read it from the application using the ResourceManger Class. There are a lot of other options that are available with AL you can view these options by typing al /? or al /help. I am enlisting a few important or frequently used ones here : a.. /copy[right]:<text> Copyright message b.. /c[ulture]:<text> Supported culture c.. /delay[sign][+|-] Delay sign this assembly d.. /out:<filename> Output file name for the assembly manifest e.. /t[arget]:lib[rary] Create a library f.. /t[arget]:exe Create a console executable g.. /t[arget]:win[exe] Create a Windows executable h.. /trade[mark]:<text> Trademark message i.. /v[ersion]:<version> Version (use * to auto-generate remaining numbers) j.. /win32icon:<filename> Use this icon for the output k.. /win32res:<filename> Specifies the Win32 resource file If you checkout the help at the end you will see this lines which show you how to go about using this tool. Sources: (at least one source input is required) <filename>[,<targetfile>] add file to assembly /embed[resource]:<filename>[,<name>[,Private]] embed the file as a resource in the assembly /link[resource]:<filename>[,<name>[,<targetfile>[,Private]]] link the file as a resource to the assembly -- Please post your queries and comments for my articles in the usergroup for the benefit of all. I hope this step from my end is helpful to all of us. Regards, Namratha (Nasha) Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86124

    - Asp.Net Forms authentication using Active Directory Hi. I am using forms authentication in ASP.Net against Active Directory. I have followed the example provided by Microsoft. Here is my problem. Standard practise for AD Administrators is to flag the account to change the password when he logs in. Also that passwords expire after 30 days. If any of these conditions are true the sample code from MS simply returns the error message: "Bad username or password". This happens the second the code tries to bind to AD. It does not tell me that the user has to change his password or that his password has expired but simple that it is a "Bad username or password". Has anyone come accross this or have any ideas. *Ps I did not implement the portion of code where they create a generic pricipal object etc as I do not need any other info from AD other than checking the username or password.

Below is the scenario 1) 2 same applications one ASP and another ASP.NET(migrated) running on the same web server machine 2) Both maintain a Cache and the Cache itself has a Socket, WebService and Remoting interfaces for any application to update it 3) A third app (Windows Service) runs on the same machine to update the cache 4) The Win Service successfully updates the Cache for the ASP pages but for the ASP.NET pages, the call just hangs with no errors. The Web Service update work fine in all the cases. The hang happens only on Windows 2000 Server. Windows XP and 2003 work fine 5) Can anybody help me solve this problem?

This assembly defines some TraceListeners that I am using for logging in our app. The application configuration file contains the following lines the assembly is ErrorLog: <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"> <listeners> <add name="debugOut" type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" /> <add name="consoleOut" type="visa.dps.ppc.DynamicFileTraceListener, ErrorLog" initializeData="ApplicationServer.log" /> <add name="eventOut" type="visa.dps.ppc.EventTraceListener, ErrorLog" /> <remove name="debugOut" /> </listeners> </trace> I look in the GAC and I see ErrorLog, Version=2.5.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=33fcdc7f7eb6be4b, Custom=null When I run one of my apps that has a configuration file that contains the lines above, I get: Configuration exception during setup: Couldn't find type for class visa.dps.ppc.DynamicFileTraceListener, ErrorLog. at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfigurationHandler.HandleListeners(Hashtable config, XmlNode listenersNode, Object context) at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfigurationHandler.HandleTrace(Hashtable config, XmlNode traceNode, Object context) at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfigurationHandler.Create(Object parent, Object configContext, XmlNode section) at System.Configuration.ConfigurationRecord.EvaluateRecursive(IConfigurationSectionHandler factory, Object config, String[] keys, Int32 iKey, XmlTextReader reader) at System.Configuration.ConfigurationRecord.Evaluate(String configKey) at System.Configuration.ConfigurationRecord.ResolveConfig(String configKey) at System.Configuration.ConfigurationRecord.GetConfig(String configKey) at System.Configuration.DefaultConfigurationSystem.System.Configuration.IConfigurationSystem.GetConfig(String configKey) at System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.GetConfig(String sectionName) at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfiguration.GetConfigTable() at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfiguration.Initialize() at System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticsConfiguration.get_SwitchSettings() at System.Diagnostics.Switch.Initialize() at System.Diagnostics.Switch.get_SwitchSetting() at System.Diagnostics.BooleanSwitch.get_Enabled() at System.Xml.Serialization.Compiler.Compile() at System.Xml.Serialization.TempAssembly..ctor(XmlMapping[] xmlMappings) at System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer.FromMappings(XmlMapping[] mappings) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapClientType..ctor(Type type) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol..ctor() at visa.dps.ppc.ivr.IVRService..ctor() at visa.dps.ppc.InstallTestForm..ctor() ---------- Any idea as to what I am doing wrong?

    - Errors After Installing Framework SP1 Hi, We are running on Windows 2000 Server SP4. Our .NET Framework version is 1.1. After I installed .NET Framework 1.1 SP1, I noticed the following error messages in the Application Log: The first error was a System.EnterpriseService error. It reads: "System.EnterpriseServices failed to install. Please fix the problem (see exception below) and run 'regasm System.EnterpriseServices.dll' again to install System.EnterpriseServices. Exception: 'System.NotImplementedException: Not implemented at System.EnterpriseServices.Admin.ICatalogCollection.Populate() at System.EnterpriseServices.RegistrationDriver.Populate(ICatalogCollection coll) at System.EnterpriseServices.RegistrationHelperTx.InstallUtilityApplication(Type t)'". The next one is a LoadPerf error ID 3009. It reads: "Installing the performance counter strings for .NETFramework failed. The Error code is DWORD 0 of the Record Data." Does anyone know why I am getting these errors? Thank you Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86045

    - CSLA.NET vs other software? I have been looking into a good object/relational framework solutions for my software application.

    - Logging Application Block. Hi, I am getting started with microsoft Logging Application Block and I wonder if any one can direct what is the best way to use this block in such a way that I can have an application which read the log file immediately as a new entry was added to the log, I am thinking to format an "entry" as XML note that I cannot raise event from my server to the application which read the log since not all the time the application is running Thanks.

    - How to get dbgclr on client PC I am trying to get a debugger on a client PC so I can troubleshoot a VB .NET application that runs fine on most other PCs. I thought I could just copy the GUIdebug folder from the SDK - wrong! Surely I will not have to install the entire SDK just to be able to get some meaningful messages out of the failed app???!!! Is there a way to install JUST the stuff necessary for dbgclr? Your suggestions will be appreciated. -- Phil Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86037

    - Socket EndConnect problem Hi All, I'm having a strange Socket problem. I wrote a little FTP tool using asynchronous sockets. While connecting to a certain FTP server (actually a printer to which I print by FTP'ing a control file) I get a weird error when I call EndConnect: "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it" But the strange thing is that if I don't call EndConnect at all, it works and I can upload just fine. I guess I don't understand what EndConnect really does. I have hunted all over the web and find lots of documentation that says basically that it ends the connection that you start with BeginConnect, but what does it really DO? And why would I get an error when calling it but have the FTP server work anyway if I just omit the call? Any ideas here? TIA. Cheers, Josh Tag: How.... ? Versions..... Tag: 86035

There are better ways, but can't remember at the moment.

Yes, they do not interfere with eachother.

Yes.

The bootstrapper setup program can do this for you:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnnetdep/html/dotnetframedepguid.asp

You can also do this through a launch condition if you are creating a VS setup project.

¤ 3. Can different versions of .Net can co exist?

Yes, side by side execution is supported.

Not necessarily. More recent versions of the framework may also create
that directory. For example, I have a machine with only a .NET 2.0
prerelese installed, and it still has the 1.1.4322 directory.
