This is a COM error, it means that your dll is running ito an error at initialisation, which I assume means you need to set something else up before you create it.

Thanks for giving me your insight on this.
I am still not clear how can the same DLL is working with ASP using Server.creta Object. But when I want to use for ASP.net, and I am using the code behind as C#.net I am running to an issue. There got to be a way to solve this problem. However, if you can give me any technical information specifically I can talk to the developer who developed this COM I can talk to him to check. Thanks,

I have no idea why it's blowing up. If you can talk to the person who wrote it, perhaps they can help. One possibility is that I think the threading model of ASP.NET is fixed, perhaps the model of the component needs to change. However, I'm taking a stab in the dark. If you have access to the component's author, then definately being able to add some debugging code or otherwise work out where the exception is thrown is a lot more useful than trying to deal with a black box.

I am trying to find out the version numbers of the components that appear in the Add/Remove programs list.
The data I'm after is stored in the registry BUT I don't seem to be able to access it via code but I can view it usingg Regedit.
Below is the code I'm using to try and access the data. As you can see, I've tried setting the access permission but I'm not entirely sure if my implementation is correct.
If I trim the registry path down to "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows" I get a key returned.
Any ideas???
Cheers,
Ben

You're gonna kick yourself.

This works
Wild _Wildy wrote: sysSettingsKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Current Version\\Uninstall");
This needs the space between 'Current' and 'Version' removed, so it's the same as the line above, then it works.

Thanks very much.
I didn't quite kick myself (that would just be silly) but I did drink a few beers and have a laugh about the smallest errors being the hardest to find.
I had got the path from Regedit using the "Copy Key Name" menu item so I don't feel like it was my typo.
Thanks again and Cheers.

We have a web service that is growing large enough that we wish to seperate logic. Ideally, we would have multiple code files on the server, and the service itself would still appear to be the same to consumers of it.
If we were doing it in c++, we would simply split the implementation of our WebService class across several .cpp. Of course, we can't do that in C#.
Any ideas or pointers to docs?
|

Well, in VS2005/C#2.0 you have partial classes if thats what you mean (spreading the implimentation across files). But I don't see why you couldn't just have the webservice methods call methods in other classes.

Another part of it is wanting to group methods by thier function; e.g. multiple webservices in one. So from the WSDL, you'd have
Service1<br />
{ <br />
func1();<br />
func2();<br />
}<br />
<br />
Service2<br />
{<br />
func1();<br />
func2();<br />
}
Your information about 2005 helps though - that may end up being our solution.

What do you mean "large enough"? Is it too large to maintain on the server or is it too large for any client to handle? Any good enterprise application has multiple layers of implementation to facilitate stuff like this. The exposed web service is just another layer in the API so nothing says it needs to needs to match any actual implementation details. You may have 100 objects that that are needed to make the web service "http://server/service" function but changing any one of them shouldn't change the service definition itself. You should be able to modify any of the 100 objects and not have to modify the interface for the web service. If this isn't happening now then you should rethink about the design. Although partial may help, your team should really be asking themselves do they really need a gigantic object so large it needs to span multiple files?
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the logic is in other objects. It's just that this particular .asmx is going to end up being huge and it becomes a pain in the rear to deal with - to add a new function or hunt another down.
|
|
|
|
|
Your team should be spliting the web service *anyway* into more managable functional groups. If you are lumping everything into one giant object then it is a poor design that will cause problems down the road because it will grow like a cancer. Changing one large object/web service is trickier than one small one in an API with hundreds of objects. Regression over one large object/web service is more costly than one of many small ones. Resources consumed for one large object/web service is more "brutal" than many small ones. So on and so forth...
Since it seems like a design issue there is no amount of coding or tricks that will help. The fact you are asking how to do break the object into multiple code files seems to indicate you know what is functionally disperate anyway. If you are already considering breaking up a large object into multiple files then why not break the object along those same functional lines?

I agree. The problem is I have not been expressing myself clearly.
What I want is multiple web services in the same .wsdl. (Like how MapPoints web service does it.) So the end user only has to know http://foobar/service/Product.asmx?wsdl; so they only need to configure one URL in thier application, rather than have 4 or 5 seperate web services, each with URL and proxy settings configured independantly.
 And before any tells me it's not possible, LOOK AT THE WSDL SPEC. Look at Mappoint! sheesh. [/end grouchy part]

I want to make a form, that I can draw a grid on it, any one have any ideas on this?
Thanks

In the paint event of your form draw the lines you need using the graphics object in the paint event. I'd suggest using a loop to draw your horizontal and vertical lines.

I am trying to create a struct that I can dynamically add multiple elements to at runtime, but for some reason I just can’t grasp how to do this. In VB, I would create a User Defined Type as such:
<br />
Private Type Person<br />
fName As String<br />
lName As String<br />
age As Integer<br />
End Type<br />
And use like so:
<br />
Private Sub Command1_Click()<br />
Dim a As Integer<br />
<br />
a = 5<br />
ReDim x(a) As Crap <br />
<br />
<br />
For y = 0 To 4<br />
x(y).fName = "first" & y<br />
x(y).lName = "last" & y<br />
x(y).age = y<br />
Next<br />
But for some reason I just can’t seem to accomplish this in C#. Can someone please explain this process to me?
|

You are looking for an array of structs. Something like
struct Person
{
public string fName;
public string lName;
public int age;
}
void Command1_Click()
{
Person []persons = new Person[5];
for (int i = 0; i<5; ++i)
{
persons[i].fName = "first" + i.ToString();
persons[i].lName = "last" + i.ToString();
persons[i].Age = i;
}
}
BTW, it's recommended to use Properties[^] instead of public variables in structs and classes.

Thanks, that is exactly what I was attempting to accomplish. I will also follow the advice on properties as well.
|
|
|

What if you wanted to pass the struct as a parameter to method in a different object? Would a struct be the best solution, or is there a better way to that?
|
|
|
|
|
Depends on what your struct contains. If you want value semantics, that is, if you want to pass around a copy of your data everywhere, you can use a struct, otherwise, you can use a class. This[^] might help you decide which one to use.

My project will be accessing production data off of a *nix box via samba. When the data path is pointing to a local test dataset, or a test set on a remote windows machine everything works fine. But when I change the path to point at a folder on a linuxbox made accessable via samba the application doesn't update.

From Googling around on this subject, it appears that there are major problems with getting this to work. It doesn't look like there is a great amount of support. About the only thing I could suggest is upgrading the Samba server to the latest and see what happens.

Bleh. Easier said than done on the client end unfortunately.
