First, make sure you're using the correct signatures (it looks like you are already, but just in case, use pinvoke.net)
Also, use the Spy++ tool bundled with Visual Studio to see correct messages to send to the app. For example, use Spy++ to view the incoming messages when you type some text in Notepad. After logging the necessary messages, you should be able to send the same messages using your app.
I just tried this and it looks like a key press in notepad generates:
WM_KEYDOWN
WM_CHAR
EM_GETSEL
EM_GETSEL
EM_LINEFROMCHAR
EM_LINEFROMCHAR
EM_LINEINDEX
EM_LINEINDEX
WM_KEYUP
You might want to try those messages, in that order, to send text to Notepad.

I did already use Spy++ to log the messages. I just didn't know if all these messages needed to be sent or if some are generated as a result of initial messages...ie. WM_ACTIVATEAPP. I also could not tell what message were generated by NOTEPAD as a result of the WM_KEYDOWN and WM_CHAR messages that most likely were generated by the keyboard. Thanks for the input though.

If you don't want to mess with sending each message/character separately or have problems getting it to work, you could take a look at the SendKeys class in the FCL.
It has easy to use static methods for this.

Right, but you must make sure the window is topmost and has the focus. I chose the SendMessage to avaoid this.

I'm trying to load an assembly dynamically (IE. extracting it as an embedded resource, and then using Assembly.Load() to load it) and then use the types and functions that are built into it, but I can't figure out how to get access to them, nor could I find any good tutorials.
Any hints, or am I trying the impossible?

You can use Assembly.Load or Assembly.LoadFrom(). Those function will return you an Assembly object. You can then call GetTypes() on that object to get the list of all types. For each Type object, you can then call Activator.CreateInstance() to create an instance and then Type's InvokeMember() to call methods. Something like
<br />
Assembly assembly = Assembly.Load("...");<br />
foreach(Type t in assembly.GetTypes())<br />
{<br />
Object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(t);<br />
t.InvokeMember("MyMethod", BindingFlags.Instance, null, obj, null);<br />
}<br />
Hope this helps.

I wrote a FTP program that would download files from a ftp server and store it on my machine.
Then on my other pc, I mapped the location of that program and run it (2 pcs are on the same network)
I got this error message:
Unhandled Exception: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permissi

Could anyone please help me out?
What do i need to do with the Security to be able to run the program on a network?
Thank you so much in advance.

Thats caused by CAS (Code Access Security). You need to change the policy for the appropiate zone to allow this. This can be achieved by using the wizard in administrative tools, or by the command line tool caspol. More details can be found by googling.

Hi,
I need to install services dynamically at runtime, without using InstallUtil.exe or a setup project. Do I have to use the "old" Win32 service APIs like CreateService or is there a way to do this natively in the framework?

i use sendto and receivefrom functions to ping a host
ex:
sendto(host)
timestart = datetime.now
receivefrom(buf,edp)
timestop = datetime.now - timestart
but the time was too long ,when i ping localhost the time is 56ms
how can reduce the time?

Since we know nothing of how you're using the SendTo and RecieveFrom functions, and what class is supplying them, there's nothing anyone can tell you. There are a bunch of factors that will affect this, starting with the time source your using, which is terrible for the timing resolution your looking for, what size packets your sending, how name resolution is taking place, ...

the end i use two threads to ping more hosts.
one thread calls sendto function,the other calls receivefrom.
if i ping one host twice in one cycle,and the first time it costs 56ms,and the second time costs 1ms,why?
|

Look at what your timing! THe code as you wrote it, will time the DNS lookup of the host, the building of the ICMP Packet, opening the socket connection, sending the echo packet, ...
You're not timing the packet travel time, you're timing nearly your entire application from the time you hit enter to the time it takes for the first echo packet to come back. The only thing you weren't timing was how long it took to parse the command line parameters.

i have correct it,record the time just before sending the packet,
but the time costed is 56ms too
|
|
|
|
|
Somehow, I doubt it. On top of that, unless you rewrite this code so you setup EVERYTHING you need to send and receive the packet, without doing anything in between the two, your still timing code to setup the receive.
The only thing that'll get the timing down to <10ms on loopback, is to rewrite the code so it's far more efficient. And from what I've seen, you've got a bunch of work to do.

Hi
I am looking for a new way to licence our products. We currently ask the user to enter a company name, plus a load of parameters (such as package limits, number of users, expiry date, etc) which are then validated against an authorisation code we provide.
Each of our products have different parameters that relate to the functionality of that product, and as functionality increases, the number of parameters is also increasing.
Therefore, i am attempting to come up with a system that allows the user to enter just two bits of information, the Company Name and an Authorisation Code. The authorisation code is validated against the compan name and then the licence information is extracted out of the authorisation code.
It sounds great in principle, but i've no idea where to start on this, or if it is at all possible.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Tom

 Hello All,
I am writing an application using c#. This is a client server application. I am trying to make a login box which would allow users to enter the windows user id and password. Then I would like to check that user id and password against what the user id and password of who is login onto the machine. After that I would then like to check that user id and password against the sql server database to see if they have permission to access the database. Please someone provide guidance. I have looked everywhere and no one seems to have an answer to this question! Thanks

This is not good policy - If your users already log into Windows at the start of the session then you should consider that they have already passed through an authentication mechanism. Asking then to log on again during as session will desensitise them to providing a user name and password whenever prompted so that eventually they will do it automatically without thinking (that's how phishing scams work - they prey on the psycology of the person just following a set of instructions blindly - so don't encourage them for goodnesssake!).

Friends,
I've been searching for a solution to a problem for 2 days on Google and forums but couldn't succeed. The problem is how do I get the ListView selection highlight style as it is in VS .NET menus. There is an article "TreeListView" here http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/treelistview.asp[^] that has this feature but it's a little complicated for me to distinguish this feature from rest of the code.
This is my 3rd post on the same subject and will be the last - so please forgive me.
Thanks.

There is no such property. The control uses the system's Display Properties/Appearance colors to draw the highlights.

Dave, thanks for your time but I never said the control has the property. If it had, I'd never have asked this question, would I? The control can be inherited and/or custom-drawn via some Windows APIs or so.. I know it's possible and I gave a link of an example actually. But that example has too crowded code which is hard for me to pick the parts I need. Don't get me wrong but please read the post fully next time before answering because now my post seems like answered to other users who possibly has the correct solution I need.

I did. The solution IS to ownerdraw the entire control and use the colors you want, not the system. If the example that you found is too much to wrap your brain around all at once, pick it apart. Try certain things and see what they do. Because nearly all of what you saw in the example is what your going to have to go through to get the functionality you want. The question you show now be asking yourself is "Is this worth it?"
