• Visual C++ RegCreateKeyEx returns ERROR_BADKEY

  I realize this is probably a dumb formatting problem, but I'm banging my head against a wall trying to figure it out. Here is a code snippit. _tcscpy(szBuffer, TEXT( "Software\\TSDPP" )); errorcode = RegCreateKeyEx(HKEY_CURRENT_USER, szBuffer, 0, NULL, REG_OPTION_NON_VOLATILE, KEY_SET_VALUE, NULL, appsettingkey, &keydisp); I am getting an errorcode of 1010 (ERROR_BADKEY) and I cannot figure out why. Thanks in advance. Yes, it is already a pointer PHKEY appsettingkey; However, I tried changing as you suggested, and it worked! Weird isn't it. The function must be incapable of allocating the memory for an HKEY on its own. You would think it would be able to deal with this since the funct ...Show All

• Windows Forms Updating a specific row in Access database

  Hi, I have another question regarding my database application. After my other question being answered here , I was able to populate a listbox with data from a column of an Access database. I now need to edit a specific item of the listbox and then update it in the database. The idea is the following: below the Listbox is a Textbox and a button labeled 'Update'. The user selects an item from the listbox and then writes something in the textbox below. When the Save button is pressed, the content of the textbox replace the value of that specific item in the database. How can this be achieved Or is there an easier way similar to what I have in mind And I don't have a DataSource associated with my project. (please refer to the code for ...Show All

• Visual C# Reading files

  Hi, I have a group of files that I need to read, they are saved in the computer through a tftp server.... How can I know if the file(all files) is ready to read First of all, normally when a file upload is finished it isn't locked any more! So you can try to get full read and write promisions, if it doesn't fail you know the upload has been finished. It could be that the upload was interupted and that the file was left for resuming. You never know this! And if posible you have to validate your files first. Meybe it is easier to write or use a FTP Server component so you can add custom actions to it and you know when uploads are really finished. The last option is to filterout all TCP packages and scan them for finished message ...Show All

• Smart Device Development infrared!

  Hi. I want to be able to send data (hex codes or whatever) using the infrared ports. I have imported the System.Net.Irda reference and able to access the IR classes. However, I do not wish to connect to a device but rather send data. The device I am sending data to will be a dumb device really, just as a "reciever"... this can be a remote control recieving box or a TV IR reciever for example. IS it possible to do this how I cannot seem to find a way in the .NET classes as it seems you have to connect to the destination then write data to the stream. Thanks! stepping aside from the starcontrol.... I have found a way of making a socket object which includes IR. Socket theSock = new Socket(AddressFamily.Irda, SocketType.Stream, Pro ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 sp_send_dbmail with XML in body or as attachment outputs HEX not XML

  Anyone know how to run a Select statement with FOR XML and have the sp_send_dbmail send it out in the proper format When my Select statement is a simple "Select * from TableName" the results appear normal in the email but as soon as I add the FOR XML I get results that look nothing what SQLWB shows (i.e. nice XML).

• Software Development for Windows Vista Design pattern for enlisting a "plain old API call" in a transaction?

  We have a third-party workflow server process that exposes a plain old managed .NET API with the following the following methods: 1. Connecting to the server 2. Setting datafields within the server 3. Causing the datafields to be updated within server 4. Closing the server We have a business object with a UpdateServer() method that accepts a collection of datafield values and calls the above methods to store them in the workflow server. We want to include the call to UpdateServer() amongst some database update calls. We need to have these calls to execute as a single transactions - i.e. the UpdateServer() and database updates are all executed; or they are all aborted/rolled back.

• Software Development for Windows Vista PrintFilterPipelineSvc.exe getting closed.

  Hi, My print driver is giving the following problem in RC1 WDK and VISTA. The print filter pipeline ( PrintFilterPipelineSvc.exe) is getting closed. Exception. Print Filter Pipeline Host stopped working and is closed. It may be because of DEP (Data execution prevention), which cannot be disabled for ( PrintFilterPipelineSvc.exe ) in VISTA OS. I am not able to find the exact cause of this problem, because the printdriver was working properly earlier before RC1.
