I just verified that it works as expected in Windows 7 64 bit using VC++ 2010.

--- It's called a loop. Come now, Richard. Poor comment given the OP's requirement.

No problem, you are welcome.

Hey SA, he means a form (Winforms project). And as far as I can tell, I've told him what he needed below.

Baskaran, your question has been answered, right?

No problem.

I guess it should be the same approach. Your 2 top-level forms should both be marked as mdi forms. That allows them to contain child forms.

VS 2010 has a drop down to set this. Can also be done from the properties dialog.

Compile the app explicitly as 32 bit (or 64 bit as the case might be) to match the targe OS.

You are releasing a debug-mode binary. You need to make a release-mode build and then distribute those files (/bin/release). The debug mode binaries are only meant for dev/debug/test work.

That's possible. I'd not have installed a dev preview on a regular dev machine (I usually use a VM for that).

Ok, good luck then. It may be a corrupt installation.

I agree. Based on the curent version of the question, whether data is not found or whether data exists, he wants to show an error message box. So he might as well skip the DB query and just show a messagebox.

Use a free email client, set it up to use your mail server, and try to send a few emails out. This will tell you if the problem is with your mail server/config.

Good detailed response. My 5. Needs a bit of formatting though.

Since that's a new question/topic, I'd suggest that you start a new thread for that. Keeping track of opened files in your application.

Yes it can handle non-empty folders. The call will fail if a file is in use (same as when you delete from Explorer)

The form that contains the PictureBox control. I don't have any sample code right now.

Good answer. My 5!

Thanks SA!

SA, he says he is using Winforms.

LOL :-)

I reckon he's already Googled and thinks that we can't give him any Google search keywords that he has not already tried.

You'll need to step through the code that fires the events and see what's causing it to not fire.

Wow, sweet!

If the event is not firing when it should, it may be because you are using the component incorrectly or perhaps even a bug in the library. Either way you should probably ask the guys who wrote/sold this component. They'd know best how to resolve this.

You're welcome.

Put a breakpoint and trace through the code.

No, the HTTP headers.

Add the user from computer-A as an user on computer-B. How you do this depends on the OS you are on.

As an examaple, if computer-A is called MachineA and the user is say John, then on computer-B, you would need to add MachineA\John as an allowed user and set rights accordingly.

You're welcome.

No, it will not. Since those are not HWND-controls. The OP must have been mistaken.

Voted 5. Good alternate technique (Ctrl-A/C).

Thank you, Espen!

Voted 5 as well. We posted at the same time I guess.

Interesting link - had not heard of that before. Voted 5!

Yeah, MSDN is not easy to search huh? :-)

Thanks.

There is no portable approach to these things, since C++ is agnostic of the file system (mostly).

Check my updated answer.

It's an out param, so null is fine here.

Verify that you are passing in the right HWND.

Interesting!

You are welcome. Hopefully you got something out of this discussion. I was a little disappointed that I could not help you pinpoint your exact error. Oh well.

Try opening the log file in a different editor. It may just be a case of Notepad misinterpreting the text as Unicode.

And since it's a u_long, that'd be 0xffffffff which is 4,294,967,295 (maximum value). So 6-9 digits seem okay to me.

Based on the TCP header from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol, 32 bits.

Good alternatives. My vote of 5.

I would consider source code to be a "tool" of sorts too when I refer to it as 3rd party, but you may be right SA :-)

Yes but my point was that the u_long returned may be corresponding to some arbitrary Unicode character and thus the text file interprets it incorrectly as a character (when it is not).

It is possible that tcp_header->seq_number is returning an invalid value. And thus ntohl will return some random value too.

I meant your response was certainly valid. The OP was quite vague in his description.

Yes it certainly was. I am just better than most people at figuring out what people are trying to say :-)

Thanks SA!

The get-method in the property.

Edited your question so it's easier to understand.

Unlikely that you can do all of it in C#. You'd need to write a low-level keyboard driver in C. You could then manage that driver from C#.

I approve and endorse this reply! :-)

Heh :-)

Good idea!

Or just edit your OP.

Voted 5. I endorse and recommend this answer. [I am going to use this as my approval template text from now on]

Ok, this is getting to be like one of those Friday night thriller movies now. No one knows what's going on :-)

I agree, specially if he just has plain text data.

Voted 5. I endorse and recommend this answer. ;-)

I don't get what this has to do with ini files at all. But see the example code from : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.ports.serialport.aspx

:-) Had some free time while waiting for a big download to finish (images for a project).

Good link, hopefully it will resolve the OP's issue. My vote of 5.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Not to my knowledge. Try that forum I linked to - that's your best shot.

If you mean this -> http://www.erain.com/products/zam3d/DefaultPDC.asp It's a commercial lib, not free. They may have a trial available though - so you may want to check with them directly.

Try this link : http://windowsclient.net/learn/video.aspx?v=294834 It's a video tutorial that may help you.

Post about that error in a separate question. I am sure someone here will help you out.

Thank you!

Comment to OP : You have thanked everyione for their input, but sadly you have not considered following any of the advice. You absolutely need to get a good C++ book and learn some fundamentals before you write any more code. [this is in response to your latest answer which a mod may delete soon]

You have thanked everyione for their input, but sadly you have not considered following any of the advice. You absolutely need to get a good C++ book and learn some fundamentals before you write any more code.

What I meant is that it's better to rely on data binding here. Because here I've made several assumptions about the Xaml. If you ever change the Xaml in future that code will break. But if you bind to a proeprty then it will continue to work.

No problem. I should have seen it as an obvious typo, so I need some coffee too I guess :-)

I assume it was a typo for WebForms. If so, ignore my previous comment.

Ok you have tagged the question as ASP.NET. Now you state that it's WinForms.

gcc supports it too. But do check the docs for compatibility: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Structure_002dPacking-Pragmas.html

And no. 4! :-)

Sorry :-)

My 5. Nice to have people back your answer up *grin*

Dude, 3rd guy to post the same thing :-)

Thanks.

Yes, that's exactly how most common password implementations work.

Password verification is done by hash comparison.

Excellent answer. 5!

Thanks SA.

Should not be stored at all except as a hash of some form.

Good alternate solution (what the OP originally wanted). Got my 5!

Thanks SA.

Not sure I understand this. If you let the user pick a folder, surely you know the full path for it (including the drive).

Well, that makes it crazier huh? Although you could do it after the move. See my alternate way.

There's an alternate way which I'll post as an alternate solution.

Yeah, check my updated answer.

Good answer. Voted 5!

:-)

Sorry. Corrected! Check again.

Thanks Tarun!

Already saw it, voted 5 too. Up to the OP to think of these approaches though.

:-)

Yeah, and a good book will really help a lot. That said, feel free to ask questions here. It's good to see someone trying stuff out on their own.

Ok, I am really confused here. That page I linked to clearly shows the function signature as int CALLBACK WinMain( __in HINSTANCE hInstance, __in HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, __in LPSTR lpCmdLine, __in int nCmdShow); but you are using a different signature. Surely you get what I mean here!

Thanks (comment threading is all messed up)

Thank you, Albin.

You're welcome.

My 5 too.

Just a dummy function I used in the example. You can declare these globally too, no need to make them locals if you prefer them to be globals.

Manfred has updated the code to make it more obvious.

The int z was just an example. You would need to define members based on your scenario.

In C (not C++) a struct must have at least 1 member.

Good answer, AS. My vote of 5.

Ok, I've said this many times in this thread, but your WinMain sigtnature is wrong. Please see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633559(v=vs.85).aspx

My 5 too. Good answer.

You're welcome!

Thank you, SA!

Thanks!

Yeah, source code has the rest of it but it's probably for VC6. Wrote it a long time ago and never really updated it. Thanks SA!

:-)

Heh :-) Good thing for me, my son's 3. Not old enough to wreck cars :-)

Thanks Joan.

Decent response. My vote of 5!

You are welcome!

Thanks SA!

I was just kidding, SA! :-)

Fixed now :-)

I meant your vote of 4 above to Abhinav but your comment was 5 :-) (btw I was just kidding you). And seems you have fixed that now.

Thanks!

I gave you a 5 (a real 5, not an SA-5 which is usually a 4) *grin*

Thank you, Joan.

C#, it's Microsoft Sans Serif, 8.25pt

Voted 5, proposed as answer.

Voted 5 (actually a 5, and not a 4 as some people do) ;-)

>> My 5. << His post has a single 4. So you changed your mind? :-)

Thanks Olivier.

Well then when you round back, round back to 4 digits. You cannot get back data that you've lost.

Post your code (just WinMain).

Yeah you'll need separate assemblies that link to specific interop versions. And maybe a common assembly that can then act as the sync-ing point.

Thank you!

If you think your question has been answered, please accept one of the answers in this thread as the accepted answer.

Cool. Good to hear that!

Thanks :-)

You are welcome.

Thanks SA!

See my alternate answer.

Corrected again (this time to "use")!

LOL :-) BTW I meant "use" not "sure".

Thanks :-)

See my updated answer.

A good lower level approach, but sometimes that's just what's needed. My vote of 5.

Voted 5.

Yeah, it would seem that there are no public libraries yet (none that are popular anyway). There are apps that do it but their authors have not revealed their methods :-)

Good response, voted 5.

Thank you, Espen!

Well that's wrong. I linked above to the WinMain documentation which shows the correct signature.

What is your current WinMain signature?

Use this signature for WinMain: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms633559(v=vs.85).aspx

In your project Linker settings, select Advanced and set Entry Point to wWinMainCRTStartup.

I went with the most common choice (WinForms). But yes, it's a guess on my part :-)

Good answer, SA. Voted 5.

Thank you, SA!

Decent suggestion, voted 5.

Glad to hear that, and you are most welcome.

Thanks Espen!

I tried that code in VC++ 2010 and compiled as "C" (not C++). Code compiles fine.

A char represents a single character. C does not have a string type. In C, a string is represented by a char*. Pointer to character.

Thanks!
