• .NET Development strange problem with loading an assembly using custom AppDomain

  I'm trying to load assembly files using a custom class, which was created through a custom AppDomain. Here's my Main code block: AppDomainSetup setup = new AppDomainSetup(); setup.ApplicationBase = @"C:\test"; setup.ApplicationName = "test"; setup.PrivateBinPath = "bin;plugins"; AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("MyDomain", null, setup); General.Loader load = (General.Loader)domain.CreateInstanceFromAndUnwrap("Loader.dll", "General.Loader"); Type[] types = load.LoadAssembly("TestObject"); All this does is setup an AppDomain and point it to "c:\test" and then I set the assembly folders it should look for when loading an assembly. The General.Loader cla ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net 2005 app fails if built on XP Home machine

  I have been developing an application that utilizes .Net remoting as well as some unmanaged code. It is written in C# and uses Windows Forms (no ASP, SQL, etc). I have been building it on an XP Home machine and testing it on multiple XP Pro machines. After a recent enhancement, if the app is built on XP Home and run on XP Home, it locks up the OS requiring a reboot. If that same build is run on an XP Pro system, it silently fails (hangs) but doesn't crash the system. If I build the app on an XP Pro system, I don't have this problem. In attempting to debug this I tracked the code into a thread Start method. Executing the Thread Start crashes the Home system. I admit I am making an assumption about Home vs. Pro but, other than one bein ...Show All

  Hi all, The Operations Support Guide is the deliverable of the Stabilizing Phase (in MSF). Can anyone tell me who is responsible for creating this document I cannot find any info on this. Thanks in advance! K.S The Release /Operations Advocacy Group is responsible for overall Operations readiness. The guide you reference falls within their responsibility. However, the other advocacy groups have a big part in assembling the parts too.

• Visual C# How to code my SQL String Manipulation App in C#

  I would like to know the following in regards to my other thread on how I'd possible approach doing this same thing through C#. To me it seems like more work to do this if you are like me and haven't really done client C# and mostly used to ASP.NET C# code but I might as well start, as I could use regex or whatever to strip out stuff and instert or rearrange into our new table: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx postid=1087366&siteid=1 So I would like advice and specifics from your experience on the following: 1) What type of C# app should I do this in, console or windows form or other and why one vs. the other 2) Ok, fine, I create #1.

  i am having VB6 dll. i want's to get the source code, methods and whatever inside that dll. Is their any tool like reflector in .NET. Thanx in Advance. Maheswari, Decompiling Windows DLL's is a very advanced and difficult task. I think you'll only get assembler code instead of the original C/C++. Also, you'll be violating end user agreements and laws. I find a DLL Decompile tool download page that you can have a try to download the software called Spices.NET and hope that can help you :-) http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/downloads/dll_decompiler_info/ ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Tee node and custom media source

  I used the WavSource MediaSource example and I used it in topology using a tee node. When I do that, an errors occurs after starting the session (0x8000FFFF). If I dont use a tee node everything works fine. I tried setting the MF_TOPONODE_PRIMARYOUTPUT and MF_TOPONODE_DISCARDABLE but that did not change anything. Marc This is most likely just some mistake in how the topology is set up. Double-check all of the node connections to make sure they're correct... That's my first guess. If you're completely sure that you've set up the topology correctly, then I have two more questions: 1) Does the error occur during the IMFMediaSession::SetTopology operation, or does it occur during the IMFMediaSess ...Show All
