• ctxcrossx Critical bug in Microsoft.Win32 class RegistryKey

  There is a critical bug in a .NET class RegistryKey. The class/methods should be able to write DWORD values (max ff ff ff ff), but it is only able to write ff ff ff and breaks with ArgumentException when ff ff ff ff is used (which is actually a normal max DWORD value). It can't even read a max value once it has already been into registry. Could you post the code you are using because I have no problems creating DWORD values of the value you specified. int nValue = - 1 ; //0xFFFFFFFF key.SetValue( "Test" , nValue); int nNewValue = Convert .ToInt32(key.GetValue( "Test" )); //Ditto You should be aware that any type other than an int will be written as a string value.

• Jay Thomas Problems receiving packets from socket

  Hello! I'm new in this forum and in this awesome programming language. I came from Java and I'm actually doing a speed learning in C#. We actually have a single problem that it drives us crazy. We are connecting a serial old device in a TCP/IP terminal server (with a special RJ45-RS232 cable). In fact, the device receives the petitions from the client and sends them the requests to its sender. The device, I said, is and old device that sends the values of patient parameters that we ask it to send. We, then, create a Socket from our computer to the terminal server (is a Lantronix Multiport device server) and make the process of connect to the device, ask the parameters and configure which parameters we want to receive and it starts to send ...Show All

• JulianRidley Microsoft.ApplicationBlocks.Data.SqlHelper.cs

  We are using "Microsoft Data Application Block" and stored procedures. I saw the using of that block is handy, but I have recognized that...before it calls the stored procedure to retrieve the data... it greps the stored procedure's parameter information from database. It does not uses the parameters I passes. for example, ---------------------------------------------------- CREATE PROCEDURE SP_TEST (    @userid int ) select fullname from client where userid=@userid ---------------------------------------------------- when I pass the WRONG parameters information like.. SqlParameter p = new SqlParameter("@userid", SqlDbType.NVarchar, 700); Microsoft data block actually replaces them with Sq ...Show All

• ledwinka Sharing wizard-created datasets in a solution

  Hi there, I've created a solution that has multiple projects in it.These multiple projects compiles to become .dll dependency files that is used by my application. I've then used the datasource wizard (vs2005) to convert a large access database to a SQL Express dataset, and placed in under my main application. I have been doing work on it for many months now. All was well until I realize that I need to use some of the tables from that dataset in those dependency dlls as well. However as they are under a different project (or namespace ) , I can't seem to use them. 1. Is there a way we can share the dataset between projects which is in the same solution I tried copying the same dataset into another project and it came up with al ...Show All

• Omar Fawzi Reflecting Child Objects

  I am getting a MissingMethodException when trying to use reflection to get data from a child object. What am I missing Here are my classes: public class classA { public classB B = new classB (); } public class classB { public int x = 10; } And the code: classA a = new classA (); object ret = a.GetType().InvokeMember( "B.x" , BindingFlags .GetProperty | BindingFlags .GetField, null , a, null ); Oops... nobugz is right, I missunderstood the question , sorry. The name of the field is "x", you don't need to put a B. in front of it. B is known since you are doing InvokeMember on the type of B. object ...Show All

• JimJalinsky Problem licensing Class Library

  Hello all! Here is my problem, I am trying to license a class library so that other developers need a license to be able to code with it. I have found how to do so for controls by using the LicenseProvider. I've even made my own custom licenseprovider class so that I don't need to use the basic text license file and to use my own validation method. The problem with this is that "context.usagemode" always returns designtime for a class library which means the license is only validated at runtime which is not what I need, I need to validate at design time. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I moved to .NET Base Class Library where you can get satisfying answers. ...Show All

• Bwilhite Could not find stored procedure 'dbo.aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion'

• AndyL Null is returned for GetManifestResourceStream

  I posted this in the web services and XML serialization group first, because I thought someone may have seen the error in relation to web services with types that implement IXmlSerializable. However, upon further reflection I believe the issue is really a Reflection issue (pun intended). The link to the original post (including example code) is: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=470391&SiteID=1 The scenario simply put is that I'm attempting to retrieve an embedded resource from a DLL referenced by a web service. The embedded resource is the XML schema used for serialization of the custom types. The problem is that the call to GetManifestResourceStream returns a null reference when used in the scope of a web se ...Show All

• pimmy21 DllNotFoundException- path problems

  Hello all, I've got a project that pinvokes an unmanaged DLL and everything runs smoothly with it. The problem begins when I publish the project and install it on a different computer- I get the DllNotFoundException when it's being called, and the oddest thing is that the message says the dll wasn't found on the project's bin\debug path. The problem is that I wish to have the dll on the application startup path, but cannot use Application.StartupPath within the DllImport Attribute, since it takes only consts. Does anyone know why does the application search for the dll in the bin\debug folder Is there anyway to change this (I've tried adding the app startup path to the environment path, didn't work) Or better yet, is there a way of using t ...Show All

• .net sukbir Possible to register a C# program to the R.O.T. for OLE automation?

  Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible to "register" your own created c# program for OLE automation This would be the equivalent of accessing something in Excel via OLE. Like: Dim ExcelApp As Object ExcelApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application") Edit: and just to clarify, I understand how the GetActiveObject works (by looking up the object in the Running Object Table). I guess I need to know if it is possible to register a program with the Running Object Table. ah, excellent. Well, it registered the class, but the interface isn't showing any methods. Ok, now I've got it showing the methods within the interface. Now I just need to know how to use them. ...Show All
