    - how to use ASP .NET to obtain information from a program? Hi, I'm trying to obtain information from a 3rd party software, using ASP .NET. The software only comes with a Java API that I can use or a telnet interface. Through telnet, I had to parse the data collected to obtain the information that is need. 1. How can I program my ASP .NET page to retrieve information using the available methods mention above? 2. I have also created a program using C# that is able to parse the telnet interface. I planned to let this program run in the background such that information from the 3rd party software can be parsed and stored in this program. Can I retrieve data from the program that I have created from a ASP .NET page? Hope that someone will be able to help asap as I need to solve this urgently!!! Thanks in advance!

    - Novice: 2 instances installed? I've just noticed that there appear to be two instances of this program installed. Can't fit the lines in without wrapping, but hope it's clear what I mean: Program Name Uninstall Command Registry Entry Name Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 msiexec.exe /X {CB2-etc-2A1} Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (1033) Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 MsiExec.exe /X{CB2-etc-2A1} {CB2-etc-4F52EAE172A1} Apart from the Registry Entry Name being different, the only other minor distinction is that the Uninstall Command has no space after the 'X' in the second instance. Are both of these necessary, or can I delete one please? If so, which one?! -- Terry, West Sussex, UK Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109963

    - How to tell VS.net not to create folders In VS 2005 when I create a new blank solution, the option to create a new folder is checked but the control is greyed out. I don't want a new folder. And when I create a new project it also does this (but in the case of a new project there isn't even a checkbox. I didn't see any VS options to control this (but it may be hidden somewhere).

    - Clickonce Publish: How to do it on comamnd line - MSBuild? After several hours reading up on Clickonce and hacking away, I was able to get our (complex) application running from a remote network shared folder. VERY cool. I used Visual Studio 2005 to reate the application and deployment manifests, etc., using it's "Publish" feature from within the IDE. We already use MSBuild and devenv on the command line to automate our project builds, and I need to do the same for building the clickonce publishing. I understand that I can use mage.exe, but seeing how much functionality is already in the existing microsoft MSBuild tasks for this, I'm betting that Visual studio is already using MSBuild every time the publish function is run from the IDE. Can anyone tell me if this is something wothwhile persuing, and if so, is there any doc out there that could help with this? Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109954

    - Embedding .exe.config as a Win32 Resource I have both a .exe.config and a .exe.manifest file and both work fine as files. I would like to embed both files as a Win32 resource. I am able to do this with the .exe.manifest file by referencing it in the .res file with RT_MANIFEST (24). But how is it possible to do this with the .exe.config file? I know it is possible because of this MSDN comment: ---------------------------- http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sbscs/setup/application_configuration_files.asp Application configuration files must be installed in the same location as the application's application manifest. Application configuration files and application manifests can be installed in two locations: * In the same folder as the application's executable file. * As a resource in the application's EXE file or DLL file. ---------------------------- If I attempt to use RT_MANIFEST file with the .exe.config file, it seems to be ignored. If I use the same resource id as the .exe.manifest then I get a duplicate resource error. Any input appreciated. Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109953

    - Unwanted .Net framework dependency Somehow my application has developed a dependency on the .Net framework. It is a C++ app built much the same as one would have with Visual Studio 6. We were happily using Visual Studio .Net 2003 with no dependency on the .Net framework.

Below is the call stack. You can see its calling my callback "Connection()" from the same thread. My problem is that I call Accept() then BeginReceive(). If its processed on the same thread then other connections will not be accepted. I could pass it to another thread myself but shouldn't BeginReceive work this way?

    - COM Interop registration failed COM Interop registration failed. Type library exporter can not load required library MSCOREE.TLB. I'm currently receiving the above error message when building a sample walkthrough which demonstrates COM interopability between ESRI's ArcGIS 9.1 and .NET. I'm using VS.NET 2003 Enterprise Developer and creating the assembly in VB.NET (C# is not an option). The SQLServer 2005 Beta 2 had been installed on the machine, but it was uninstalled (about a year ago) when its version of the .NET Framework (2.0.40607) was incompatible with ArcGIS 9.1. ArcGIS seems to have worked fine after that. Encountering this new problem, it appears that the uninstall of SQL Server 2005 Beta 2 was not clean, leaving at least one of the beta framework components (MSCOREE.DLL) in the Windows\System32 folder (probably because it was in use at the time) and a considerable number of registry entries. Replacing the DLL with the earlier version (1.1.4322.573) has not fixed the problem. Has anyone else encountered this error after having installed the beta 2.0 .NET Framework and were then able to fix the problem without re-formatting the drive? Any step-by-step instructions would be appreciated. I don't have permissions to edit the registry, but I can pass any instructions on to those who do.

    - EventLog with custom Log I have a suite of applications and services that use a common library and I would like to use a custom event log to gather all the events in one place rather than putting events in the "Application" event log. The code I use to create the event log object is below. Clearly I'm missing some steps because the results are not correct. A new event log called EJobs is created but is never populated with events. All event log mesages still go into the Application event log but are not displayed correctly. In the event viewer a typical entry looks like this... The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( MyNewService ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Registering service types. If I create the EventLog object to write into the Application log, then everything works properly and you only see the intended text rather than the text about needing to use AUXSOURCE as well. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks Bill public abstract class EJobEventLog { private const string EventLogName = @"EJobs"; // private const string EventLogName = @"Application"; /// <summary> /// Create an event log object. /// </summary> /// <param name="strEventSourceName">The name to use for the source of the new event log. /// Typically this is the name of the calling application or service.</param> /// <returns>New <see cref="EventLog"/> object</returns> public static EventLog CreateEJobEventLog(string strEventSourceName) { EventLog.DeleteEventSource(strEventSourceName, @"."); if (!EventLog.SourceExists(strEventSourceName, @".")) { EventSourceCreationData oSource = new EventSourceCreationData(strEventSourceName, EventLogName); EventLog.CreateEventSource(oSource); } return new EventLog(EventLogName, @".", strEventSourceName); } } Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109906

    - FileStream Encrypted Impersonation Problem Object of the excersize: I have a service that needs to connect to securly to remote sevices. I need to be able to store the login information for the remote services in a secure manner. To do this I was going to create an encrypted file containing the login information. Encrypted under the service's login account. I want to edit this file with a setup program. My idea was to have setup program propmt the user to "login" as the service account and impersonate this account while writing the config file. The basic flow of the code is this: LogonUser(sUsername, sDomain, sPassword, LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, ref pExistingTokenHandle); DuplicateToken(pExistingTokenHandle, SecurityImpersonation, ref pDuplicateTokenHandle) WindowsIdentity newId = new WindowsIdentity(pDuplicateTokenHandle); WindowsImpersonationContext impersonatedUser = newId.Impersonate(); FileStream stream = new FileStream("c:\\sectest\\Encrypted.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None, 512, FileOptions.Encrypted); BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(stream); bw.Write(this.textBoxText.Text); bw.Close(); impersonatedUser .Undo(); With FileOptions.Encrypted: If I impersonate the current windows logon (using LogonUser to get the handle) this works. I get an encrypted file. If I try to impersonate another user I get this exception message on the filestream constructor. "Access to the path 'c:\\sectest\\Encrypted.txt' is denied." With FileOptions.None: This works in both the above mentioned cases. I get this error regardless of whether the file exists or not. I have done the tests reversing two test accounts.

    - Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' This problem is driving me up the wall. I'm using .NET 2.0 and VS2005 to work with some of the Windows Media Format SDK through p/invoke I've created the appropriate interfaces I need and decorated them with ComImport, InterfaceType and Guid attributes. Specifically these interfaces are IWMReader and IWMReaderCallback I p/invoke the WMCreateReader method to instantiate and return an object implementing the IWMReader interface. The definition of this function is as follows: [DllImport("WMVCore.dll", EntryPoint = "WMCreateReader", SetLastError = true, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, ExactSpelling = true, CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] private static extern int WMCreateReader(IntPtr pUnkReserved, WMT_RIGHTS dwRights, [Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] out IWMReader ppReader); This gives me an object of type System.__ComObject when attempting to call the methods implemented by the IWMReader interface I receive the following exception: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type '<interface name here>. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{96406BD6-2B2B-11D3-B36B-00C04F6108FF}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)). The offending method is the Start method, although the Open method works perfectly. I have seen many posts regarding this problem but as of yet have not discovered a solution. The problem is not limited to the Windows Media Format SDK. The code works fine under .NET 1.1 & VS2003. I have attached the IWMReader interface definition for reference. [ComImport] [Guid("96406BD6-2B2B-11d3-B36B-00C04F6108FF")] [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)] public interface IWMReader { void Open([In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string pwszURL, [In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] IWMReaderCallback pCallback, [In] IntPtr pvContext); void Close(); void GetOutputCount([Out] out uint pcOutputs); void GetOutputProps([In] uint dwOutputNum, [Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] out IWMOutputMediaProps ppOutput); void SetOutputProps([In] uint dwOutputNum, [In, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] IWMOutputMediaProps pOutput); void GetOutputFormatCount([In] uint dwOutputNumber, [Out] out uint pcFormats); void GetOutputFormat([In] uint dwOutputNumber, [In] uint dwFormatNumber, [Out, MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Interface)] out IWMOutputMediaProps ppProps); void Start([In] ulong cnsStart, [In] ulong cnsDuration, [In] Single fRate, [In] IntPtr pvContext); void Stop(); void Pause(); void Resume(); } Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109890

After all the files are copied on to local machine, EIS.solution file is opened in to Visual Studio environment by double clicking it. 4. For first time it ask for the server mapping for the projects under the solution file. On click of OK it creates virtual directory for EIS under IIS and further directories for projects under EIS (under IIS). Now problem is after it has added all the folders under IIS, visual studio hangs indefinately... and we are forced to do end task of the same.

    - .NET 1.0 and/or 1.0 hotfix messing with 1.1 application? I've been trying to remotely assist a user who is encountering the infamous "Fatal Execution Engine Error (0x7927baca)" problem when invoking our .NET 1.1-based application. The system in question is running WinXP Home SP2. After sifting through as many documents as we could find, our first advice to the user was to remove our program, remove .NET Framework 1.1, and then re-install our program (our installer automatically checks for .NET and reinstalls .NET Framework 1.1 if needed). Well, our program ended up getting reinstalled, but .NET 1.1 apparently wasn't, perhaps because the user's system (unbeknownst to us at the time) also had .NET 1.0.3705 installed plus the 1.0 hotfix KB886906. Anyway, the situation now is that the user still has .NET Framework 1.0 and the KB886906 hotfix installed, and is somehow still hitting the same Fatal Execution Engine Error (0x7927baca) problem when running our program. Because the user is remote and not a computer expert, we want to make sure our next advice is productive. That's where we could use all of your expert advice. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899619/ and a few other references suggest that you must remove KB886906 prior to installing the .NET Framework 1.1 ***Service Pack 1***, but can someone tell me if this restriction also applies to installation of .NET Framework 1.1 itself (i.e., the base package)? And can someone comment on whether the presence of .NET 1.0 and/or the KB886906 hotfix might cause the Fatal Execution Engine error described above? And lastly, is there a recommended procedure or sequence that we should adhere to, and/or things we definitely should NOT try, when trying to get this user back up using .NET 1.1?

    - Why so much trouble with ellipses? In a recent post of mine I mentioned the inaccurate shapes drawn by FillEllipse. In the response that I recieved I was told that DrawArc had less problems, which I found to be true (I have been using DrawEllipse, but they seem to have the same results when drawing a complete 360). However, even with these methods, there are situations where the results are not even symmetric along both axes (my best example of this is with a width and height of 6). I know enough about math and computers to be able to figure out how to write a simple method to create a basic circle or ellipse, so I'm not going to ask anyone to tell me how to fix it (even though that would be nice), but I am going to ask why couldn't Microsoft make this simple method themselves? It's not like this is the first time they ever had to do it. Heck, they could have just borrowed some code from Paint, I know that that makes correct circles/ellipses. Do they plan to fix this in a future version, or is GDI+ such a small part of .NET that they don't care? (I will admit that I am guilty of still using .NET 1.1, but I still think it should have been a simple enough task that they could have done it right by now).

Section=ResponseStatusLine" Following the piece of code where it fails only in .net 2.0 but works in .net 1.1 ========================= HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(url); Request.Credentials = GetCredentials(url); //Send the request and wait for response. Response = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse(); --> Here it fails ========================= I think it is related to some unsafe header information. I also followed the following trick to ignore unsafe headers by adding the following in the config file. <system.net> <settings> <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing="true" /> </settings> </system.net> Also if i try to add the web reference to the webservice in visual studio 2005 the following error By doing this it just worked once and stopped working. Does anyone have any idea regading the following issue ? Thanks Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109863

    - DataGridView "HideSelection" I'm just now getting around to playing with the DataGridView and I'm using it in non-bound mode (adding my own rows for the user to edit). Is there any way to hide the selected cell/row when the focus is not on the DataGridView like we can do with setting the HideSelection property of a ListView?

    - Regular Expression Irregularity Okay, so I got really good at writing regular expressions using the Visual Studio find/replace dialog box, then I went to go use some of them in my code and discovered that they don't work. Reason? The RegEx class appears to support a completely different type of regular expression (one that still looks entirely like Greek even after reading the help). So, two questions: 1) Is there a class that supports the same type of regular expression used by the Visual Studio find/replace dialog? 2) If not, how would you write an expression equivalent to "walk~(ing)" (i.e., an expression that will find the word "walk" unless "ing" comes after it). Thanks in advance, -Dan Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109859

    - RegEx I have the following regular expressions: Regex.Replace(someString, "[\x0A\x0D]", ""); //remove carriage return line feeds Regex.Replace(someString, "\\s{2,}", " "); //replace multiple spaces with a single space Is there a way to merge the two patterns into one?

    - cannot install .net framework (any version) am having one hell of a time trying to install/uninstall (and vice versa) .net framework (any version 1.0, 1.1, 2.0) on a laptop running xpsp2. it all began when doing windows updates and the .net 1.1 sp1 failed. since then i've spent the last 8 hours trying to get it to work. i've followed a half dozen MS articles, most recently, the one that walks through manual uninstallation (kb article 320112). i'd thought i'd managed to remove all traces of all versions of .net. i tried to install v1.0 thinking that would be the easiest and that i'd simply update to later versions once the most basic was installed. i get the same problem, that is: the install seems to go through just fine until the very end where it hangs on "registering system.enterpriseservices.dll". it just stops here. any thoughts? how can i 'start from scratch', as it were. thanks, ross aseron Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109853

    - Instantiate Shell.Explorer.2 at runtime for a web page I want to create a custom user control to be used in a web page (by object tag) as an assembly. The user control needs to have a web browser control in it. Having tried with the managed System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser or AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser, none of them worked from IE invocation unfortunately. While System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser showed the page in Visual Studio 5000 Designer, AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser caught an exception at Navigate function call. Anyway, now I'm trying to use Shell.Explorer.2 in my custom user control at runtime. The way I instantiate it is such: Type loT = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Shell.Explorer.2"); this.IE = Activator.CreateInstance(loT); Then, this.IE can access all the properties of the ActiveX control, like MenuBar, ToolBar etc. However, it failed at, again, calling Navigate method. Debugger won't step over the call. If I replace Shell.Explorer.2 with InternetExplorer.Application, it worked fine. Except that's not what I wanted because it launches IE in a separate window. Interestingly enough, if I embed Shell.Explorer.2 with its classid directly into my web html page. It showed well, except the html object id lost the reference to the control after exiting the onload function in my javascript. I must have missed something fundamantal in this attempt. Really hope someone can direct me a little. Thanks, Jason Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109841

    - Invoking Windows Services Hi, Any help would be appreciated. I have come across an Architecture (not implemented) in my Enterprise, that has a Windows Service (A) written on VB COM that has to talk to another Windows Service (B) to be written on VB.Net. I can imagine one can easily write B in VB.Net, but my questions is - is it possible to invoke a Windows Service? A is supposed to pass an XML message to B and B is supposed to invoke an array of Components. To add to the woes, there is a .Net component called "B-Caller" with a CCW (Com calleable wrapper) that will invoked from A. Do you think this worthwhile? Sorry, for the length of the message but to summarize - 1. Is it possible to invoke methods or events from a windows service? 2. Do you think B-Caller is necessary? Please advice, if you could point me to a specific discussion board for this - would be great. Thank you, Sameer Tag: Writing to the APP.CONFIG file Tag: 109830

    - StringInfo class Hi, I am looking for a way to get the contectual forms from Arabic Script. If you use a richtextbox in VB.net, and you fill it with a a unicode string which contains the isolated characters, the control takes care of the "shaping", it shows the approriate glyphs ( isolated, final, initial or medial ) I would like to do the same in code, input isolated chars and output correct glyphs. For example : arabic letter BEEH (067B) when used at the end of a word (final) becomes FB53. Wat is the correct way for doing this ? * the new stringinfo class ? * uniscribe ? * ....

    - Aspnet_regiis I don't know if this is the right forum for me to post my question but I just hope somebody answers my question. Is there any way that I can retrieve the password of the aspnet account. I know that the password is machine generated but is there any method to retrieve the password? Can I change the password manually in the machine.config file? If so what can be the implications of this? One thing for sure is that I know manually changing the password will not synchronize the password with the IIS metabase but can aspnet_regiis with the i switch be used to do this synchronisation? Or for that matter does aspnet_regiis -i utility change the password for the aspnet account and synchronize it with the metabase? Too many questions!!!! but just hope somebody have answers for it...

Treat like an XML document. Remember that you'll need to have modify rights
on the file.

This is only possible in .Net Framework 2.0.

You can use the ConfigurationElement.SerializeElement() method. The
IsReadOnly Property will inform you if the ConfigurationElement can be
modified.

As Christopher pointed out, you will need permissions on the
config.file. The new System.Configuration namespace contains new
classes for working with configuration files (using the
ConfigurationManager). It is best documented in the "Protected
Configuration" topics for ASP.NET apps, but can also be applied to
Windows apps. See also "Storing and Retrieving Connection Strings"
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms254494.aspx for some sample
code demonstrating reading and writing to the connectionStrings
section.
