 - Can't get IIS to run ASP 1.1 Every time I open up a web application in Visual Studio, I get the following error message: Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services. Not surprisingly, I'm unable to run any of my ASP.NET web applications. Every time I try to open one of my application's web forms in IE or Firefox, the browser wants to open the file with Visual Studio, which I think is symptomatic of the ASP.NET engine not bothering to generate the appropriate web pages dynamically. However, I believe that I do have ASP.NET 1.1 installed -- it's listed (along with ASP.NET 1.0) in my Add/Remove Programs control panel, for example. Does anybody have some ideas of how I can get my applications running? Thanks a lot, Jay Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101233

 - process.WaitForExit() problem on framework 2.0 beta Hello I have a programm that executes other processes. Everything was fine with framework 1.1. Now i have tested the assembly (still build with VS2003, framework 1.1) on the framework 2.0 beta. Unfortunatly in some cases, the method "process.WaitForExit()" waits infinite. When the process exits, it does not affect the WaitForExit method. If i replace the WaitForExit method with an interop call to kernel32.dll -> WaitForSingleObject it works perfectly again. Berni [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")] private static extern int WaitForSingleObject(IntPtr hHandle, uint dwMilliseconds); ... //this.process.WaitForExit(); WaitForSingleObject(this.process.Handle, 0xFFFFFFFF); Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101231

 - Inserting/Adding objects to Collections Hello I am trying read from a xml file, pull the values in a object and then add the object to an ArrayList. I am using a 'while' loop to move through each node in the xml file and pulling the required values as needed and setting them to the relevant property within my object. The reading of the xml file works as it should. I get a problem when I try to add the object that I created to the arraylist. It seems to be adding each one, but when I view the results of the list, it shows the last object passed in for each object stored within the Arraylist. Here is the code that is giving me issues: public ArrayList readXMLClient(string path, string xPathEx) { XmlDocument document = new XmlDocument(); document.Load(path); XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator(); int i = document.DocumentElement.ChildNodes.Count; int j = 0; ClientData objClientData = new ClientData(); ArrayList objArrayList = new ArrayList(); try { XPathNodeIterator _clientCode = navigator.Select(xPathEx + "/ClientCode"); XPathNodeIterator _clientName = navigator.Select(xPathEx + "/ClientName"); XPathNodeIterator _clientDetails = navigator.Select( xPathEx + "/ClientDetails"); while (_clientCode.MoveNext() && _clientName.MoveNext() && _clientDetails.MoveNext()) { objClientData.clientCode = _clientCode.Current.Value.ToString(); objClientData.clientName = _clientName.Current.Value.ToString(); objClientData.clientDetails = _clientDetails.Current.Value.ToString(); objArrayList.Insert(j,objClientData); j++; } } catch(Exception ex) { } return objArrayList; } Any help would be great. Thanking you in advance Vish Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101225

 - Too many pending asynchronous disk write causes spurious errors I am using the asynchronous I/O model to receive data over a socket, and asynchronously write the incoming data to a disk file using FileStream. So long as the pending writes have not yet completed I continue to allocate more read buffers. As a result I can get a backlog of about 250 disk writes (1K buffers, because that is the max size the receiver will give me). During the course of a 50 MB transfer I get about 6 of these errors: 07:42:50.14 System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Probable I/O race condition detected while copying memory. The I/O package is not thread safe by default. In multithreaded applications, a stream must be accessed in a thread-safe way, such as a thread-safe wrapper returned by TextReader's or TextWriter's Synchronized methods. This also applies to classes like StreamWriter and StreamReader. 07:42:50.14 at System.Buffer.InternalBlockCopy(Array src, Int32 srcOffset, Array dst, Int32 dstOffset, Int32 count) 07:42:50.14 at System.IO.FileStream.BeginWrite(Byte[] array, Int32 offset, Int32 numBytes, AsyncCallback userCallback, Object stateObject) 07:42:50.14 at ODP.NMServe.DataChannelSession.ReceiveHandler(IAsyncResult ar) I am obviously doing SOMETHING wrong. I was thinking the FileSystem.BeginWrite was supposed to be safe to work from in the thread pool utilized by the socket read completions. And that there was safe FIFO queueing of requests. The FileStream was opened with the asynchronous option TRUE. I am not sure what the error messages are looking for, what I need to change to avoid this. The disk I am writing to is an SCSI RAID 5 disk array. This runs on a dual processor W2K box. Thanks for any pointers Best regards - Lee Gillie Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101224

 - Disk file write performance Seeking some hints from a real framework asynchronous I/O ru of gu. I am trying to find the absolute fastest way to write binary data to disk files in VB.NET. I am working on an FTP server. In my development testing I have found that I can receive about 60 mbits/sec over the socket data connection using asynchronous reads, with the file writing disabled. When I try to incorporate asynchronous disk writing with FileStream it bogs down to about 4.5 mbits/sec. So I start with only three, but I allocate extra data buffers as needed to keep feeding the socket reads as fast as the system will take them, and obviously not reuse the buffers until the asynchronous disk write completes, and I find my buffer pool grows to about 250 (i.e. up to 250 pending asynchronous disk writes at any one moment). I/O buffers are 1K each. File transfers are about 50 MB. Thanks for any pointers Best regards - Lee Gillie Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101222

 - Exception on Machine Without Visual Studio .Net Installed I have created a mixed mode (managed + native) application that links to a mixed mode dll. It runs fine on all XP machines with Visual Studio .Net installed, but on other machines with the .Net framework installed but not Visual Studio, it displays a pop-up window entitled "Common Runtime Debugging Services," and the unhelpful message: "Application has generated an exception that could not be handled." This happens when the application gets to the managed-code wrapper of a function (C++) that initializes the dll (__crt_dll_initialize) . The error is triggered just before it enters the crt-initializing wrapper function. It won't display a message-box window placed within the function but before the initialization. Try-catch does not catch the error. Depends.exe show no missing or problematic module. The error also is triggered when 0 is assigned to a pointer to a managed class of the dll. Any suggestion would be appreciated. -- sunrat Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101220

 - Custom Class - Different Instances Hello, I have a custom component class that I created that will basically save x amount of "objects." Once x + 1 object pops in, the oldest one falls off. It works great as I have it. In my test web page I create a Static object and use the New to create a new instance of it. If I don't use the Static, nothing is remembered. The only problem is, when I start a second page, I expect it to have a NEW instance of the class but the numbers stored show up the same. How do I get it to always create a New instance. Am I missing the public, private, protected, internal - modifiers in the wrong position?

I assumed the New is necessary so it can create a New instance of it. If it take out the Static modifier, nothing works and no random numbers are stored. If I leave it in, it will remember the number (5) I have told it. But so will each new web page I bring up and point to that page.

 - Finding out if an exception occurred in a finally block. (.NET 2.0) Hi. Since my situation is a little complex I have simplified it for this post. I start a database transaction. Do some work with it in a try-finally block, and in the finally block I dispose resources. I would like to in my finally block detect if we are leaving because of the code actually just leaving the block (normally or through a return statement) or an exception occurred. If we are leaving normally I want to commit the transaction, and if we are leaving because an exception is thrown, I want to abort the transaction. SqlConnection conn = CreateNewOpenConnection(...) try { SqlTransaction trans = conn.BeginTransaction() // do work } finally { if (exception occurred) trans.Rollback(); else trans.Commit(); trans.Dispose(); conn.Dispose(); } Is this possible.

 - dotnetfx deployment program. Hi, I have an Install project which a service. I am using the setup.exe which checks for the presence of the framework and deploys it if it is missing so the install Project is set to . My install package has been working quite happily for some months on the Development machine. However it has now started giving the error message: 'MyService install Setup has failed. If the problem persists, please contact Product Support.' The msi package is OK because if I execute it directly it performs the installation OK. Looking inside setup.exe and dotnetfx.exe with a text editor shows that the message is present in dotnetfx.exe only. So I ran up another install which installs an application using the same setup.exe and dotnetfx.exe This went OK i.e. The setup stepped through to calling the msi file. So the only difference I can see is that the first project is installing a service while the second is installing an application. I restate that this was all working and has suddenly stopped. Has anybody struck anything similiar? thanks Bob Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101182

 - Port .Net 1.0 application to Windows Server 2003 Hi, We have a complex application (C#, EnterpriseServices (COM+), MSMQ, etc). Application was developed with .Net Framework 1.0 and running on Windows 2000 with SP3. We need to port it to Windows 2003. By default, Windows 2003 has .Net Framework 1.1 installed. Initiall we were planning an application upgrade to 1.1. But later decided to try to install .Net Framework 1.0 on Windows 2003 server and try to port it the way it is now. Is it doable? I don't see why not. I was reading different sources and I didn't find any reasonings why not. Can you let me know, please. Second issue for the same problem: an applicaiton server, that is going to be running a COM+ components is like I said Windows 2003. I installed a component on it, extracted a proxy and installed that proxy to the test machine from which I tried to run a strip-down version of the same application (only test machine issies calls to the database thru COM= component.). I receive the following error message: The activation for CLSID {070CE8EA-70F6-4E7C-8E73-A902507E811F} failed because remote activations for COM+ are disabled. To enable this functionality use the Configure Your Server wizard and select the Web Application Server role. The application is desctop, no web interface. Why does it need to be configured for the Web Application Server role? Is it a Windows 2003 issue? We prepared the server just as we did before with Windows 2000. Any input is welcome.

 - Getting Process ID of a created ActiveX object Hi, I'm using C# to create an AutoCAD object in this manner.. private AcadApplication acadApp; const string acad2004ProgID = "AutoCAD.Application.16"; acadApp = (AcadApplication)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject(acad2004ProgID); and that works fine... now what I want to be able to do is get the Process ID of that autocad object so I can do things like Killing it or whatever using commands from System.Diagnostics Is there any way to obtain the Process ID of that autocad object without having to use any strange workarounds?

 - DRAWIMAGE() -> TONS OF PAGE FAULTS! Originally, I thought this was due to DoubleBuffer, but ran some further experiments and discovered that page faults occur when calling DrawImage(). For example, create 2 images about 800x800, then call DrawImage to copy from to the other (on say a mouse click). Notice about 600+ page faults occur each time (the larger the area, the greater the number of page faults). I have an application that calls DrawImage() once a second to update the main screen, so after a few days, the page fault count is monsterous. I swear this bogs down my system too. Anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Can someone report this as a DEFECT. Thanks, Steve Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101175

 - How To: Custom Performance Counters with intervals other than 1 second? I want to implement a custom performance counter for monitoring errors in my application. However, the correct rate is not exceptions per second! (If my app is throwing multiple exceptions per second, then the last thing I need to be doing is writing custom performance counters!) I want to implement a counter that has a period of 1 hour. What is the right way (or best way) to do this? I figure out one way, but I had to implement all the code and not use any of the methods in the Diagnostics namespace (other than just setting the raw value of my counter). I don't think that is the right way to do it. Although all the framework code seems to assume periodicity of 1 sec, I have a feeling I should be able to use the framework methods and obtain rates per hour -- I just need some help figuring out the way to go about it.

 - HttpWebRequest and Multi Threaded apps Question Hi, Im in the process of writing a program that crawls a website. Im using the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse classed to get content. To make my application more scalable, my application is multithreaded, with each thread making a different request. One problem Ive ran into is that when writing the response stream to the filesystem, from the HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream() method, if the response is of a sufficient size, it blocks all other other executing threads. If this exceeds the timeout, then all the other threads that are in the process of making a Web Request time out. Ive taken every effort to ensure that my application is not locking, I was wondering if given the scenario that Ive listed, would using Asynchronous Web Requests be more efficient? Ive not worked with them before so Id be grateful of your opinions. Cheers, Mark Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101168

 - Convert BinaryString into int? Hello, I have some binarystrings in the registry (from an older j++ app) that I need to convert at runtime to ints. What is the best practice for this? In J++ you could just call Integer.ParseInt(val, 2); I've tried Convert.ToUInt32(object, int) but I can't get the compiler to believe that is a valid overload; it keeps complaining that it can't convert an int to an IFormatProvider, which is a different overload. Is that convert function broken? Is there another way to do this or am I just screwed? Keith Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101160

 - Issue with MMC in VS.NET Dear all, I am facing a frustrating problem in trying to make sense of an existing MMC Snapin developed using Visual Studio .NET by You-Know-Who. Well, the project type for the Snapin is a Class Library. Once I build the solution from visual Studio .NET, the solution consisting of the Class Library and the Packager, will churn out a .MSC file.. All this is working fine.. I am supposed to enhance this project and I must add that I have no prior experience in developing or debugging MMC Snapins in .NET. Since I have not developed this project, I have really no clue as to how to go about getting into a debug environment for this project. Can anyone please help?? An attempt to debug would say that the project is of class library type and therefore cannot be debugged directly.... I need to be able to debug to make sense of how this one works... Any help would be really appreciated.. Thanks and regards, Varkey Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101154

 - Java Null VS .NET Null In Java, creating a class that represents a tuple in a database is relatively simple because if you have a field for, lets say, "Quantity" that is an integer, you can set it to null. Since .NET uses a stack for these Value Types, the integer (Int32) has an initial value of 0 and you can't set it to null. So, what's the best way to approach this without having to jump through a bunch of programmatic hoops? These are a couple of ways I've though of. 1) Create a constant that represents a null Int32, et and use that value (problem: you'd have to constantly check that value if you're doing calculations) 2) Make all of your properties be objects. That way you could set the property to an integer, or a null (or DBNull.Value). (problem: performance hit from boxing and potential errors when doing calculations) 3) Have a property for the field and then have an ancillary property names "FieldXIsNull" (problem: classes get bulky and you end up having to check the IsNull constantly) So, what are the best ways to approach this? Side Note, I'd like to stay away from using datasets because they're big memory hogs. If I can have a class that I can instantiate that keeps track of real values, I'll get better memory usage. As far as the overhead of coding all of these classes, I can use/create code generators for that. Tag: How to shut down my windows service Tag: 101152

 - Port .Net 1.0 application to Windows Server 2003 Hi, We have a complex application (C#, EnterpriseServices (COM+), MSMQ, etc). Application was developed with .Net Framework 1.0 and running on Windows 2000 with SP3. We need to port it to Windows 2003. By default, Windows 2003 has .Net Framework 1.1 installed. Initiall we were planning an application upgrade to 1.1. But later decided to try to install .Net Framework 1.0 on Windows 2003 server and try to port it the way it is now. Is it doable? I don't see why not. I was reading different sources and I didn't find any reasonings why not. Can you let me know, please. Second issue for the same problem: an applicaiton server, that is going to be running a COM+ components is like I said Windows 2003. I installed a component on it, extracted a proxy and installed that proxy to the test machine from which I tried to run a strip-down version of the same application (only test machine issies calls to the database thru COM= component.). I receive the following error message: The activation for CLSID {070CE8EA-70F6-4E7C-8E73-A902507E811F} failed because remote activations for COM+ are disabled. To enable this functionality use the Configure Your Server wizard and select the Web Application Server role. The application is desctop, no web interface. Why does it need to be configured for the Web Application Server role? Is it a Windows 2003 issue? We prepared the server just as we did before with Windows 2000. Any input is welcome.

In the OnStop event quit doing what you are doing.
Close files. Stop listening. Stop timers. Exit loops. Etc.
You probably created a main process thread in the OnStart
event handler. Cause that thread to stop.

Then when you return from OnStop the service process exits.

Look at service controller:

ServiceController controller = new ServiceController("MyService");
controller.Start();
controller.Stop();

Don't forget to reference System.ServiceProcess.

Just so as not to confuse Mike....

The code you provided would reside in UI app.
Mike asks what needs to be done in the SERVICE APP.
