• Visual C++ ReadProcessMemory crashes computer

  I am using CreateProcess, then using the process handle that returns and passing it to ReadProcessMemory. I have about 10 addresses I iterate through using ReadProcessMemory on each of them every 200 ms. Whenever there is a change detected in one of them, it will output the string ReadProcessMemory returns from the target process's memory. When I print this string to the console, my computer will emit an extremely loud system beep and crash, or it will just emit an extremely loud system beep. I haven't tested my program on any other computers yet, but if it is a computer specific-issue, but I'm running the program on a Dell Inspirion 9300 laptop. On a related note, if I'm playing a game or doing something else fairly processor intensive (r ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce file share icon?

  This is probably a really basic (maybe stupid) question, but I have done several searches and haven't found an answer Here's one version of the documentation I'm referring to: Install from the Web or a Network Share Using this strategy, your application is deployed to a Web server or a network file share. When an end user wants to install the application, he or she clicks an icon on a Web page or double-clicks an icon on the file share. The application is then downloaded, installed, and started on the end user's computer. Items are added to the Start menu and the Add/Remove Programs group in the Control Panel . Where is the icon they are referring to in the statement: double-clicks an icon on the file share When I pub ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista windows vista - users

  i would like to give more permissions to my standard user. is it possible to create a user that have some of admin rights in windows vista thanks What you want to do it to figure out why your program requires administrator rights. Here's a link to the Microsoft Standard User Analyzer The Standard User Analyzer helps developers and IT professionals diagnose issues that would prevent a program from running properly without administrator privileges. On Windows Vista, even administrators run most programs with standard user privileges by default, so it is important to ensure that your application does not have administrator access as a dependency. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/det ...Show All

• Visual C# implementing the Equals method with and w/o override

  Hi, I'm using .NET 2003 with .NET Framework 1.1. I have a somewhat stupid question: I created a new class (MyClass) that represent some value and implemented the Equals method the following way: public bool Equals(Object obj) { // code here... } And if I try this code I get 'True' (since they hold the same value) MyClass c1 = new MyClass(<<some value >>); MyClass c2 = new MyClass(<<same value as above>>); Console.WriteLine(c1.Equals(c2)); BUT (!) if I insert c1 into an ArrayList and check: int index = myArrayList.IndexOf(c2); I get -1 on the index variable (c2 was not found). Now, if I add override to the Equals implementation signature: public ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why checkout prompt when switching sln from Debug to Release config?

  Whenever I switch my solution from the Debug config to Release (or vice versa) I get prompted to checkout the .vsmdi file. I say cancel and keep on working. But then if I open the TestView window to run the unit tests it gets stuck with the message 'Loading'. I then have to unload and reload the solution. Is this expected behaviour or am I doing something wrong There is already a bug tracking the unnecessary check out of the .vsmdi file. Apparently it has been brought up by the user community a number of times: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=459735&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=524667&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=706061&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• SQL Server which user has which role

  Hi there. I'm quite new to MS SQL Server. In my application, I sometimes need to perform an action. During this action, all processes, that aren't created by sysadmin, db_owner or db_creator, should be terminated. Iv'e written a stored procedure, which removes all the running processes from the db. Now I need to adapt this procedure. My problem is, I don't know, how I get the Role of the processes user. I'm a little confused and don't know exactly, how the different system tables are related to each other. Perhaps someone can give me a clue, how to get the role. At least I got so far, that I can get the login name of the creator. But now I'm stuck. Thanx for help The following query will help ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Access import to SQL Server 2005

  Hi, I have created a SSIS dtsx package file on my file system that I want to manipulate in .NET The package gets an access DB file and the a Preparation SQL Task creates the necessary sql statements for the data flow task. The data flow maps the tables from the source to the destination and then if you execute the package, it copies the Access DB into SQL Server. My problem is, I want to manipulate this package in code, so that I can change the path to the source Access DB and then re execute the Preparation SQL Task so it recreates the new SQL statements, and then I want to update the data flow so that I it uses the new SQL and creates the necessary tables. How is this possible in .NET I have looked everywhere and have found some topics ...Show All
