    - System.InvalidProgramException using OpCodes.Ldsfld w/Guid.Empty. All, I am running into an exception using IlGenerator to emit the body of a method. The method takes a System.Guid as the only argument. I am trying to test to make sure that it isn't an empty Guid. So, I write: FieldInfo fi_Empty = typeof(System.Guid).GetField("Empty"); generator.Emit(OpCodes.Ldsfld, fi_Empty); According to what I have read, this should put he value of the static field "Empty" which is of type System.Guid onto the stack. What I get instead is an InvalidProgramException: "The Common Language Runtime has detected an Invalid Program" Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the FieldInfo or the use of the empty Guid? The rest of the method works fine. My forehead and my wall both thank you in advance for any guidance. Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76741

    - VB.NET Assembly denied access to System.Web. Help! I have a VB6 Windows Form application that calls a VB.NET Assembly. I can successfully call any test method in the assembly (like return "hello world"), but one method in the assembly uses calls to System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode. That causes this error to be returned back to the VB6 app: Request for the permission of type System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission, System, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed. I don't know if it is related to vb6 being the calling app or not. I haven't tried working around vb6 for testing because I have to call it from vb6 anyway. How can I resolve the above problem? I don't know much about .net security configuration to fix this. An old newsgroup post suggested I add this code before the UrlEncode method line, but this didn't help: Dim Perm As New System.Web.AspNetHostingPermission(System.Security.Permissions.PermissionSta te.Unrestricted) Perm.Assert() What can I do to fix this security problem?

    - Can Collection/Array be used as a Trace/Debug Listener? I am a C# newbie. In VB i had developed an infrastructure that allowed recent trace/debug information to be kept in memory. I would like to do similar in .Net. Is it possible? or will i have to write my own code? From what i have read in the Microsoft books and documentation it seems that a Trace Listener can only be a stream, like writing to a disk file. But i don't want to capture all trace events to an external file or db, but store only some trace events in memory so to be available to an error handler. Example, application will retain the last 100 trace events in memory; when exception occurs, central error handler dumps trace information and creates error report. Can this scenario work with the Trace/debug classes? What is the How To? Thank you Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76721

For example Client One: WaitHandle.WaitAll ( new WaitHandle[] { wh1, wh2, wh3 } ) Client Two: WaitHandle.WaitAll ( new WaitHandle[] { wh3, wh2, wh1 } ) Can these two clients reach deadlock if Client One receives the signal for wh1 and Client Two receives a signal for wh1, or will WaitAll protect against this?

    - Domain property of NetworkCredential class I'm trying to provide flexible support of various HTTP proxy servers in my web client app, and need to understand in what situations the various proxy authentication properties are used... Specifically, what should the Domain property of the NetworkCredential class be set to when using WebProxy? I'm testing against an Apache 2 proxy server, which is set to basic authentication, with the name of its realm set to "Proxy Server". When I don't set the Domain property of my NetworkCredential object, my WebRequest.GetResponse works OK. But when I set Domain to "Proxy Server" (which I expected to be required)... I get HTTP 407. So what exactly does the Domain specify? When is it used? Code fragment below. Thanks, David Thom Dim myWebRequest As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("http://www.microsoft.com") Dim myWebProxy = New WebProxy myWebProxy.Address = New Uri(http://10.0.2.6) ' the Apache proxy server Dim myCredentials As New NetworkCredential myCredentials.UserName = "user" myCredentials.Password = "password" ' myCredentials.Domain = "Proxy Server" ' GetResponse works if I don't set Domain property myWebProxy.Credentials = myCredentials myWebRequest.Proxy = myWebProxy Dim myWebResponse As WebResponse = myWebRequest.GetResponse() Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76716

    - TypeLoadException / ExecutionEngineException VS2003 $$struct ... bug ? (SOLVED!) Hi, I encountered a bug in VS2003. At a certain moment, when building an executable, the build executable was buggy (.NET 1.1 framework). When running, it immediately (before executing user code) throws a ExecutionEngineException (run in VS2003) or TypeLoadException (run stand-alone). The bug was proven when I ildasm-ed it an tried to ilasm it: ilasm failed. Also, when I solved the problem (by throwing away the obj-directory, so the problem must have been related to the incremental build proces), the differences between the buggy and the correct build became apparent by examining the metadata. It appeared that the good version had a struct in it which was wrapped in a <PrivateImplementationDetails> class, while the bad version was wrapped in my application class. (the good IL is shown at the bottom). This struct, by the way, was autogenerated by the compiler and contains some hardcoded data (a fixed array). Maybe this is of any use to anybody. Kind regards, Edwin van de Burgt. (please reply to the newsgroup only. Above email-address is not used) ----------- .class private auto ansi '<PrivateImplementationDetails>' extends [mscorlib]System.Object { .class explicit ansi sealed nested private '$$struct0x6000034-1' extends [mscorlib]System.ValueType { .pack 1 .size 18 } // end of class '$$struct0x6000034-1' .field static assembly valuetype '<PrivateImplementationDetails>'/'$$struct0x6000034-1' '$$method0x6000034-1' at D_00004260 } // end of class '<PrivateImplementationDetails>' Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76715

    - Regexp Validation Oh great Regular Expression gurus - I summon thee... I am using the regular expression validator... I know this is probably about as trivial as it gets for someone with regular expression experience, but I don't. I was wondering if someone would be able to create a regular expression (for validating user passwords) that matches the following: All of the following must be true for a match: 6-12 length - Isn't it something like {6,12} Must include 1 or more lowercase - [a-z] Must include 1 or more uppercase - [A-Z] Must include 1 or more numeric - [0-9] That's it, from the little I know, those are the patterns that it should use, but I have no idea how to create the full statement.

    - Sorting Problem I need to sort an XML subtree using a value in a different matching subtree in the same document. The XSLT syntax I am using is (indented so that sort select and VAL definition line up: <xsl:for-each select='LABITEM0'> <xsl:sort select='ancestor::TABLE/DATA/DIMN[@idx=current()/ @dimn_idx]/DIMN[@idx=$RANKCOL_IDX]/CELL/ITEM[contains($FIGTYPE,@class)][1]' order='descending' data-type='number'/> <xsl:variable name='VAL' select='/TABLE/DATA/DIMN[@idx=current()/ @dimn_idx]/DIMN[@idx=$RANKCOL_IDX]/CELL/ITEM[contains($FIGTYPE,@class)] [1]'/> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select='@*'/> <xsl:attribute name='ORD'><xsl:value-of select='position ()'/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:attribute name='VAL'><xsl:value-of select='$VAL'/> </xsl:attribute> <xsl:copy-of select='*'/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:for-each> This works fine using another XSLT processor (xsltproc) BUT IS RETURNED UNSORTED (i.e. in original document order) using XslTransform (and also msxml (4.0) from the command line). The VAL attribute is correctly set - so I am pointing to the right values. I've tried other sorts that do not use a path starting at the document root and they seem to work OK. Can anyone tell me why this isn't working - or suggest a sort select syntax that would work? Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76703

    - serialization bug Hi, Could someone please confirm the following? I think I have found a subtle .NET serialization bug. It occurs when object has a list of items containing another object of the same type and both objects have a non-static member reference to some other static object. In this case, I get an InvalidArgument exception when I try to access the non-static member of the child class. I've included a code sample to clarify. This "bug" is causing a major problem for me. So, if anyone could confirm it or let me know if I'm doing something wrong, I would be very appreciative. Thanks, Aaron Here is the sample [Serializable] public class A { private ArrayList children; private static Pen DPEN = Pens.Black; private Pen pen = DPEN; public A() { children = new ArrayList(); children.Add(new D()); } public void AddChild(A a) { children.Add(a); } public A Child { get { return (A)children[0]; } } public Pen Pen { get { return pen; } } } public class PenSurrogate : ISerializationSurrogate { public void GetObjectData(Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context) { Pen pen = (Pen)obj; info.AddValue("pencolor", pen.PenType == PenType.SolidColor ? pen.Color : Color.Empty); } public Object SetObjectData(Object obj, SerializationInfo info, StreamingContext context, ISurrogateSelector selector) { return (Pen)info.GetValue("pencolor", typeof(Pen)); } } public Form1() { // // Required for Windows Form Designer support // InitializeComponent(); A a = new A(); A an = new A(); a.AddChild(an); BinaryFormatter bFormatter = new BinaryFormatter(); SurrogateSelector s = new SurrogateSelector(); s.AddSurrogate(typeof(Pen), new StreamingContext(StreamingContextStates.All), new PenSurrogate()); bFormatter.SurrogateSelector = s; MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); bFormatter.Serialize(stream, a); stream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); A copy = (A)bFormatter.Deserialize(stream); System.Console.WriteLine(copy.Pen.Color.ToString()); System.Console.WriteLine(copy.Child.Pen.Color.ToString()); //Causes an InvalidArgument Exception } Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76697

    - Refection/Serialization Problems Hi, I'm trying to build a gerenic routine which deals with versioning problems between serailized objects. All my objects are Serialized into a SQL server DB, but I need to make changes to the object tree and also make future changes easier. I'm using custom serialization and reflection and I think I'm getting there, but I have a wierd problem. I've extracted all the properties from the object in question and passed the info to the following VB routine. It's working fine until it encounters an invalid member in the serializationinfo (which is expected - it's a newly added property in my object), but after that it never recovers - from that point on I'm getting a serializationexeption (member <name> not found) for each subsequent property even when the member definitely exists in the serializationinfo. This only happens AFTER the expected error, until then it's fine. Any clues? Thanks, Russ Private Shared Function CopyObject(ByVal Info As SerializationInfo, ByVal PI() As PropertyInfo, ByRef O As Object) Dim P As PropertyInfo For Each P In PI Try P.SetValue(O, Info.GetValue(P.Name, P.PropertyType), Nothing) Catch ex As Exception End Try Next Return O End Function Tag: advantages and disadvantages of the import of : microsoft.visualb Tag: 76673

    - service timer event WaitHandleWaitOne Hi there all, hope someone recognises this. Problem summary: I have a problem using a timer object within my service class. Whilst the timer triggers happily with delay of 30000 ms for some hours, it eventually comes to a point where no further work is done. Background: I have a service that (when started) I wish to check for work to do every 30 seconds. Therefore I have created a service class with a timer (system.Timers.Timer) and also an object of my service worker class. In the OnStart method I create a new instance of my worker class and load it's configuration. I set the timer interval (held as part of worker's config) and set the timer delay. On each timeout of the timer the timer_elapsed method runs. This stops the timer, does the work using the worker class, starts the timer and then sleeps again. Repeat.

    - service timer event WaitHandleWaitOne Hi there all, hope someone recognises this. Problem summary: I have a problem using a timer object within my service class. Whilst the timer triggers happily with delay of 30000 ms for some hours, it eventually comes to a point where no further work is done. Background: I have a service that (when started) I wish to check for work to do every 30 seconds. Therefore I have created a service class with a timer (system.Timers.Timer) and also an object of my service worker class. In the OnStart method I create a new instance of my worker class and load it's configuration. I set the timer interval (held as part of worker's config) and set the timer delay. On each timeout of the timer the timer_elapsed method runs. This stops the timer, does the work using the worker class, starts the timer and then sleeps again. Repeat. The service always appears to be running (in service manager shows as Started) and in task manager the exe process itself is running, but no CPU. If I connect via Visual Studio to the process I cannot get it to hit a breakpoint anywhere. But if I "cheat" and connect to a second service (i.e. another custom process and stop the code in breakpoint relating to that service) then I can see that Visual Studio debugger believes that four threads are running that relate to my app: 1) At the final } statement of my service class.Main method and 2) In System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitOne 3) & 4) have "no code associated" This second thread leads me 'only' to some disassembly. But no further. Deadlock? As hinted at above: 3 further services run on the same machine and these share a similar format (triggered at time interval) and some code libraries between them.

    - ANN: RemObjects Internet Pack for .NET public beta Hello everyone, RemObjects Software is pleased to announce that the public beta of the Internet Pack for .NET is now available for download. Internet Pack for .Net (IP) is the new lightweight and flexible network development framework developed 100% using native C# code. IP supports the Microsoft .NET Frameworks 1.1 and 2.0 (May Preview), the Compact Framework, and Mono (Beta 2). Supported development IDEs include Visual Studio 2003, 2005 (May Preview), and Borland Delphi 8. Internet Pack for .NET is free and includes full source code. STATUS IP is currently in "stable beta" status. This means that we consider the current build to be stable enough to be used in production projects and day-to-day development, but we're planning to incorporate more features and possible fixes in the near future before releasing the "final" version. FEATURES IP is a work in progress, and our goal for version 1.0 was to provide a high-quality framework rather than a large amount of different protocol implementations. Some of the features available in the first release of IP include: - Lightweight and comfortable to use base framework - Flexible and highly scalable architecture - Extendable Connection class allows you to easily integrate custom encryption or compression solutions - Extendable HTTP Client and Server framework - build HTTP applications with just a few lines of code, or easily expand the components to provide complex custom solutions - Extendable FTP Server framework and VirtualFTP sample implementation - CommandBasedServer and Client based components allow you to easily implement your own command based protocols (such as SMTP, FTP Command Connection, etc.) - SimpleHttpServer component provides an easy to implement file-based HTTP Server - SMPT and POP3 Client implementation, Mail Message encapsulation classes - Integration with upcoming DebugServer 3 for easy debugging and tracing DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY Over time, Internet Pack will become a community project, and we hope that many of its users will contribute with their own extensions and components to the project. Check the urls and newsgroup listed below for more information. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION & DOWNLOAD Download your copy of Internet Pack now, or find more information about the library at http://www.remobjects.com?ip. Our news server is open for discussions about IP (both for users and co-developers) at news://news.remobjects.com/remobjects.public.internetpack.net. Also check out the RemObjects Blogs at http://research.remobjects.com/blogs for regular news and thoughts on the development and progress of IP. We hope that you will enjoy using Internet Pack as much as we have enjoyed creating it, and we look forward to your feedback and comments.

    - How to identify an error? Hi, I want my application do different actions depending on the exception it gets. For exemple: I have an SQL-table with a unique index. In case I try to Insert a record that's alreaddy in it I get this exception: "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'tblTelephones' with unique index 'UniqueValues'." What I'm looking for is a way to identify the exception: in case I get this exception I want to do this, in case of another I want to do that. The most simple solution to me seems this: Catch ex As Exception If Left(ex.Message, 41) <> "Cannot insert duplicate key row in object" Then 'do this action End If QAlthough, I'm not convinced this is the best way. Is there a way to identify the exception with a unique number? Or I've seen once something like a name for an error. Can anybody help me with this?

I would personally avoid it, particularly if you're using C#. You can
very easily use String.Substring instead, and if you're using C# people
reading your code are much more likely to be familiar with that than
with Right.

If you take a look at the IL code for the Right function in the Microsoft.VisualBasic assembly, you will see that it actually calls String.SubString. So if you call Right you will get an extra overhead (although probably quite small) compared to just calling String.SubString.
