    - Create a Virtual Directory with System.DirectoryServices Hi everyone I need to create a Virtual Directory for IIS 5.1 from .NET, I found (thanks to Dmytro Lapshyn [MVP]) in MSDN a page that shows an ""example"" of how to do it, but in fact the example is no there, maybe de docs are in beta versions or something like that, can anyone help me???

    - GZipStream Decompress always reads 4K minimum...! I have a network stream of data I am reading, of which, a section is compressed and can be decompressed using GZipStream's decompression. This part works great, however, even if the part being decompressed is 1K, GZipStream /always/ reads 4K minimum off my primary stream. Using .NET Reflector I can see they have a 4K buffer internally and always read in chunks of 4K. Basically, I have to force GZipStream to only read what is compressed, and no more. This should be possible because I am reading fixed sized structures out of GZipStream and upon the last structure I should begin reading uncompressed data again. Do I have any options here?

    - COM+ SOAP VB components fail We have numerous COM components that we typically expose through component services "Activation > uses SOAP" mechanism. This has been working great on several servers in the past (w2k3). However, the last four servers we have deployed for our clients - we are having problems... An application we deploy in component services contains about a dozen dlls. It seems that only ones NOT written in VB manage to get their proxy stub created and are subsequently exposed through web-services (via entries in the disco and config files). I have painstakingly checked everything I can think of, and on the servers where it works and the servers where it doesn't - there is no difference in the binaries or the component services settings. As I mentioned, strangely - COM+ dlls written in Delphi work on all servers.... Any ideas? Can I give you more information? Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 111023

    - Hello World Web Service Hello, I recently developed the hello world web service in Visual Studio 2005. If I right-click on the Service.asmx file that is created, everything works fine in Visual Studio. After verifying this, I did a Publish Web Site for this web service. After that, I installed IIS and wanted to view hello world from another machine to my development machine. However, after publishing the web site, if I go to look at it from another box on the network, I get the following error: The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://192.168.40.20/XMLService/Serivce.asmx'. Line 1, Position 2. After looking around on the net for a while, I've tried the following: \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -r \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\regsvr32 aspnet_isapi.dll I tried the above for both version 1.1 and 2.0 even though I using 2.0. After that didn't seem to work, I tried re-installing/re-pairing version 1.1 and version 2.0 of the .NET framework. After that didn't work, I tried enabling Access data sources across domains in IE on the client. However, this didn't seem to work either. All I want to do is see the page that comes up in Visual Studio 2005 when I right-click on Service.asmx and select View in Browser from a remote client. Does anybody have any other ideas? Thank you, -- John Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 111019

    - 813349: Support for Exchange APIs with the .NET Framework Hi, According to Article 813349, "If the .NET application assemblies do not reside directly on the Exchange Server, Microsoft recommends using WebDAV." But WebDAV can't access Recipient table. So WebDAV can't retrieve Undeliverable email contents (Non Delivery Report). For technical details, please go to Enterprise --> Exchange Server --> Exchange2000.development. Search "WebDAV" for "Re: Detect Undeliverable Email using WebDAV". I was told MAPI is the only way to access Recipient table. But MAPI is NOT supported by .NET Framework per 813349. That's why we implemented WebDAV. My question is if there is a way to at least workaround the problem to retrieve Recipient table to get fields like Undeliverable email addresses, reason codes, diagnose codes, etc. I don't intend to discuss the technical details here. I just like to know what support .NET Framework provides to access Undeliverable emails (Non Delivery Report). Thanks. Li Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 111014

    - .net application deployment problem on wince 4.1 I have developed an application "exe" using visual studio .net 2003 for wince 4.1. The application works fine on debug and release mode. The application is deployed into the compact flash card of the device. After the deployment, I can execute the application directly from the device without any problem. But, when I restart the device, it's impossible to run the application again. All the required files are still correctly located on the good folder of the compact flash card, but I can execute my application. If I deploy again the application with visual studio, the application works again easer in debug or release mode. I tried to reinstall the compact framework on the device, but the result is the same!

    - How to correctly handle exceptions in other threads Hi, I'm building a device application that works on two threads (using VS 2005 and CF 2.0). I'm using threads because one of my operations is quite long (up to 30 minutes or more), and I want to display the user a progress bar and messages in a listbox. This operation is a Sql Mobile Merge replication, but I suppose handling exceptions in other theads is quite standard. I've a class that handle the replication, and below is a part of the code I use. I'd like to know how to correctly handle any exception in the second thread ? The "DoSynchronize" method must exit only when the replication has finished. I use BeginSynchronize to enable firing events. If an exception occurs while replicating, I want the exception to be thrown to the DoSynchronize calling method. What have I to do ? Below is the partial code of my replication manager [1] and the form that should display the progression (in a list box)[2] Thanks, Steve [1] public class SqlCeReplicationManager { private static System.Threading.AutoResetEvent _isSync = new System.Threading.AutoResetEvent(false); #region Synchronization progression monitoring /// <summary> /// Notify when a table is downloaded /// </summary> public event EventHandler<TableTransferedEventArgs> TableDownloaded; /// <summary> /// Notify when a table is uploaded /// </summary> public event EventHandler<TableTransferedEventArgs> TableUploaded; /// <summary> /// Notify the progression of the synchronization /// </summary> public event EventHandler<SynchronizationStepEventArgs> SynchronizationStep; /// <summary> /// Notify when the synchronization complete /// </summary> public event EventHandler<SynchronizationCompletedEventArgs> SynchronizationCompleted; #endregion private void DoSynchronize(SqlCeReplication repl) { //repl.Synchronize(); repl.BeginSynchronize( new AsyncCallback(this.SyncCompletedCallBack), new OnStartTableUpload(this.OnStartTableUploadCallBack), new OnStartTableDownload(this.OnStartTableDownloadCallBack), new OnSynchronization(this.OnSynchronizationCallBack), repl ); _isSync.WaitOne(); } private void SyncCompletedCallBack(IAsyncResult ar) { ((SqlCeReplication)ar.AsyncState).EndSynchronize(ar); if (this.SynchronizationCompleted != null) { this.SynchronizationCompleted( this, new SynchronizationCompletedEventArgs(new ChangesStats((SqlCeReplication)ar.AsyncState)) ); } _isSync.Set(); } private void OnStartTableUploadCallBack( IAsyncResult ar, string tableName ) { if (this.TableUploaded != null) { this.TableUploaded( this, new TableTransferedEventArgs(tableName) ); } } private void OnStartTableDownloadCallBack( IAsyncResult ar, string tableName ) { if (this.TableDownloaded != null) { this.TableDownloaded( this, new TableTransferedEventArgs(tableName) ); } } private void OnSynchronizationCallBack( IAsyncResult ar, int percentComplete ) { if (this.SynchronizationStep != null) { this.SynchronizationStep( this, new SynchronizationStepEventArgs(percentComplete) ); } } private void CancelSynchronize() { GetReplicationObject().CancelSynchronize(); _isSync.Set(); } } public partial class frmSqlRepl : Form { public frmSqlRepl() { InitializeComponent(); SqlCeReplicationManager1.TableUploaded += new EventHandler<TableTransferedEventArgs>( SqlCeReplicationManager1_TableUploaded ); SqlCeReplicationManager1.TableDownloaded += new EventHandler<TableTransferedEventArgs>( SqlCeReplicationManager1_TableDownloaded ); SqlCeReplicationManager1.SynchronizationStep += new EventHandler<SynchronizationStepEventArgs>( SqlCeReplicationManager1_SynchronizationStep ); SqlCeReplicationManager1.SynchronizationCompleted += new EventHandler<SynchronizationCompletedEventArgs>( SqlCeReplicationManager1_SynchronizationComplete ); } delegate void AddDelegate(string msg); void Add(string msg) // Insert a msg at the top of the listbox { lstOutput.Items.Insert(0, msg); } void SqlCeReplicationManager1_SynchronizationComplete( object sender, SynchronizationCompletedEventArgs e ) { lstOutput.Invoke( new AddDelegate(Add), "SynchronizarionComplete : " + e.Stats.ToString() ); } void SqlCeReplicationManager1_SynchronizationStep( object sender, SynchronizationStepEventArgs e ) { lstOutput.Invoke( new AddDelegate(Add), "SynchronizarionStep : " + e.PercentComplete.ToString() + "%" ); } void SqlCeReplicationManager1_TableDownloaded( object sender, TableTransferedEventArgs e ) { lstOutput.Invoke( new AddDelegate(Add), "TableDownloaded : " + e.TableName ); } void SqlCeReplicationManager1_TableUploaded( object sender, TableTransferedEventArgs e ) { lstOutput.Invoke( new AddDelegate(Add), "TableUploaded : " + e.TableName ); } } Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110990

    - Customizing MSBuild I'm working on a big solution containing 12 projects. It takes hours (not realy, but you get the picture) to build and i'm looking for ways to cut corners and increase my "coding-not compiling time". To decrease build time, I created a SlimBuild configuration which only buildt the most necessary projects. This worked great in terms of build time, but as of now, its worthless because the loader project does not copy the dll which are not rebuild every time to the output folder of the loader project. The only dll's which are updated are the ones which are set to be build when i do my ctrl+shift+b. Sadly, it seems that the compiler does not check for newer versions of dll's other than the ones that are set to be build every time. I was wondering i there is a way to customize msbuild to manually copy all dlls in the solution to the output directory of the loader project as a post-build event? Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110970

    - Clickonce Prerequisites Order Hi Peoples, I am currently setting up the deployment for our product. The problem I have is that when running the clickonce install on a windows 2000 with no server pack machine I have a problem in that I need to install service pack 3 to install the 2.0 net framework. I want to automate this process in that when the install is clicked and the installer finds that it is installing on a 2000 box it will install service pack 3 and than install the .net framework. I have created a bootstrapper package to install the service pack and have tested this and it works fine. The problem i have is that when i have the 2.0 framework and the 2000 sp 3 prerequisites both selected it will not install because the 2.0 framework is loaded first and sees that the box is running 2000 without the proper service packs and kicks the user out of the install. Is there some way that I can order the prerequisites so that it checks the computer to see if it needs the 2000 service pack, than once thats sorted it does the install of the .net framework? -- Regards, Steve.

    - How can I access internal classes from another assembly? While working with Wintellect's Power Collections, I noticed that they have a unit test assembly that accesses internal classes in their power collection assembly. I thought the definition of "internal" was that you could not access an internal class from another assembly (without using reflection as a back door). I cannot find anything special that they have done, but cannot duplicate it. I must be missing something terribly simple about how assemblies work. Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110960

    - using unmanaged dlls from managed dll wrappers. Hi, I hope someone can direct me to the correct newsgroup if this one is not correct. I have a unmanaged C++ dll that I need to use from a C# client. Rather than use dllImport directly, I created a managed C++ dll (in the same solution). In this managed C++ dll, I added a reference (under references) to the unmanaged dll (it's listed under the project tab). I also had to #include the header file for the unmanaged dll in my managed code. Then I created a C# client (.exe.) in my solution to test this idea. In the C# client I simply added a reference to the managed C++ dll. All worked great and I was happy. Now two weeks later, I would like to use this stuff from a real project. From a C# class library (which is used by my C# exe), I call into my C++ managed dll. I of course had to add a reference to the C++ managed dll. Everything compiled. However, when I run, I get the following runtime error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in CSharpLibrary.dll. Additional Information: File or assembly name ManagedConverterWrapper, or one of its dependencies, was not found ManagedConverterWrapper is the managed C++ wrapper I wrote. I tried adding a reference in my C# class library to the unmanaged C++ dll using the 'Add Reference' tab. It did not work (got error saying could not add non DotNet dll) . Curiously, I was able to add a reference to the unmanaged dll to my managed C++ dll. Was that because it was within same solution or does C++ behave differently with respect to adding references. I also tried copying the unmanaged dll everywhere I could think of (bin/debug of C# class library and C# exe). No luck! My questions are: 1. When one uses a managed C++ dll that in turn makes use of unmanaged dlls, what else must one do to get things working? I.e. Compiler settings, additional references, file copying, etc. 2. Why did everything work fine when all the project where within one solution? Thanks in advance for any pointers, advice or references. Dave. Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110944

Please, help! Thanks Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110917

    - FileStream exception: unknown error Hi, Whenever a customer of ours runs our software on any of his laptops, we get an IOException with an Unknown Error (-1) message at every call to the System.IO.FileStream constructor. This is really annoying, as none of our other customers have this problem, and we have no information whatsoever about the error. I looked into the SSCLI code and apparently on the CreateFile an INVALID_HANDLE is returned, and a call to GetLastError returns -1. It has nothing to do with permissions of security, I think, since new FileIOPermission(secAccess, new String[] { filePath }, false, false).Demand(); (filestream.cs, line 263) doesn't throw an exception. I can understand nobody can give me a "This is it"-answer, but could someone please tell me how to debug a situation like this? This is driving me insane... Thanks, Brecht Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110916

    - MSDN Using Asynchronous Server Socket ?

    - usercontrol in IE shows warning message. How to avoid? Microsoft .NET security warning Never enter personal information or paswords into a window unless you can verify and thrust the source of the request. mvendertaca@nospam.nospam I've created a usercontrol which is hosted in Internet Explorer. It with some action buttons. I could place all buttons on this usercontrol but I did not. When the user presses one of the buttons i detect some more action needs to be taken and open a dialogbox. using ShowDialog. But IE finds a usercontrol opening a dialogbox dangerous (Although the usercontrol could alsready have done anything because i have elevated its permissions using a strongname and such.) It changes the dialog icon to include a little exclamation mark and shows a balloon tooltip on this new icon stating: 'Never enter personal information or paswords into a window unless you can verify and thrust the source of the request. Souce: localhost' This is anoying, because it keeps on coming everytime the action is taken and the user has no possibility (it seems) to make this balloon not coming again and again. Can this dialog be avoided by asserting one of the permissionsets? I do not find one. Kind regards, Marc. Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110909

    - Waht is the fastest/bets? Outlook Object/CDO/Redemption/...? Hi, I'm using a thight integration with Outlook 2003 (with an Exchange server) in my VB.NET (2005) application. Until now I'm using the Outlook Object Model, but it appears to be very slow, and has some problems: - doing a Move changes the ReceivedTime of the MailItem - I can't use RichText in the MailItem.Body (only allows plain text or HTML) - some other stuff like having to use small 'tricks' to show the default signature in an email - ... So I'm looking to other ways to have an interactions with Outlook. What I basicly need to do is: - Move the currently selected mail to a specific folder, and write the data of it to a database (subject, entryid, sender, recipients, attachments, ..) - Create a new mail with a specific text, receiver, subject, attachements, and once it is send move it to a specific folder and write the same data to the database These things actually do work, but especially the first one takes too much time: on some clients more than 10 seconds!! Is their a way to speed things up? using CDO or Redemption or ...? What are the pros and cons of each way? Can they do what I need? Any help our hints would be really aprpeciated!

    - COM object with CLSID {...} is either not valid or registered - He Hi Friends I have a VB6 dll for ftp file to a remote server (third-party, free dll). Now I migrate the application to VB.net and so I Add the vb6 dll in Reference -> Switch to COM tab, a corresponding Interop is created. Then I run the application in my machine and it works fine. But when I move to QA environment, the above exception is thrown. I then try to register the interop using regasm in QA machine but the same exception is thrown. Would that mean the QA machine miss any dll that present in my machine, say, some dll required by the third-party dll? Many thanks in advance!! Best Regards Tom Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110904

I've done some reading up and it seems that using ManagementEventWatchers is the way to go, yet using the code below in a test project, I find that inserting a USB drive triggers up to about 5 events instead of just the 1 I'm expecting.

I was running xp quite successfully albeit slowly without any issues until I turned it on and now I am getting a stop error. Stop: 0x000000E0 param: 0x00000001, 0x80000003, 0x00008080, 0x80e92000 I am a bit techy and have the job of fixing it :( I know that the stop error error 0x000000E0 refers to the ACPI bios. However it works in safe mode and other os and indeed xp until recently. The bios version is : INET24WW, 05/24/1999 I know this could be updated but I hate the idea of updating the bios (in case it goes wrong) and it worked before. However, When running a test on the system board using the bios it reports an error: DEV 001 ERR 91 FRU 3610 I am not too sure what these errors refer too but believe it's something to do with the battery. Besides, if there was an hardware error inside the bios wouldn't it also fail in safemode? Another sceptical moment! Of course, I have tried running msconfig and disabling all startup items and have disabled all options in win.ini, boot.ini etc. I have managed to do this from safe mode. I cant run sfc /scannow cos its in safemode or system restore as it generates an error, indeed getting into the event logs results in an error so I have the stop errors to work from. The people who owned this machine also has a lot of documentation on here. There is no built in nic card and I cant install anything else until I sort out the other stuff. The only real option I could do is use a ubuntu live cd and hope I can mount it and copy stuff over!!!!!! So, if anyone can provide a solution that does not require reinstalling, it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers John -- www.integrated-dev-sol.co.uk Remove 123 from email address to reply.

    - Making a Winforms app behave like a Console app I am attempting to add a "console mode" to my Winforms app. My intention is that when I start the app with a special switch (for example "myapp.exe /batch") to does not launch a graphical UI but instead just displays console messages. My first guess was to simply change the Main method of the startup class to do something like this... if (batchMode) { Console.WriteLine("Now in batch mode"); ... } else { MainForm.Run(); // Launch graphical user interface } Unfortunately, it looks like my app does not behave like a real console mode app in either case. When I execute the app from the command line, the app returns immediately and text output by Console.Write() does not appear anywhere. Setting the app as a Console mode application does not give me what I want either. With this mode, a big black console output box appears even when in "GUI mode". Is there a way to build one executable that supports both modes and dynamically switches at runtime? Tag: Visual Basic Tag: 110881

What is the use of getsettings() and setsettings() in VB.Is it relative
to registry something or API's.

Re: Visual Basic by Julie

In VB6, this is for writing to the registry. But it defaults to
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings" and as far I ever
knew, there is no way to control that.

If you are interested in the registry keys, for more control you can use a
Win32 APIs.

I have two VB6 functions that do this. I think they came from McKinney's
Hardcore Visual Basic. If you need them ... just say the word.
