Question: @ DavidCrow about NetUserGetInfo()

2-Aug-06 20:45

the CFileDialog class doesn't open the file for you. it only provides you an interface (dialogBox) to pick the files you want to open, bu it only returns the absolute paths of these files. only then, when your application gets those files, it has the choice to actually opening them or not.

Well the function returns:

If the function succeeds, the return value is NERR_Success.
If the function fails, the return value can be one of the following error codes.
- ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED The user does not have access to the requested information.
- NERR_InvalidComputer The computer name is invalid.
- NERR_UserNotFound The user name could not be found.

So the thing is I hard code the username and the servername is NULL (servername is NULL, the local computer is used.)

But still the function is not equal to NERR_Success, thus it returns a false.

For example:
============

LPWSTR domaincontroller = NULL;

NET_API_STATUS nStatus;
WCHAR *uni_username = NULL;
uni_username =L"richardb"

nStatus = NetUserGetInfo(domaincontroller, uni_username, 3, (LPBYTE*)&buffer);

if(nStatus != NERR_Success){
retval = NULL;
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
===========
I have no idea what could be wrong. WTF | :WTF:

David could you plz help or know of a site or something ... anything

Thanx

  GetUserName(lpuser, &dword);<br />
  USES_CONVERSION;<br />
nStatus = NetUserGetInfo(NULL/*local computer*/, A2W(lpuser), 3, (LPBYTE*)&buffer);<br />
then nStatus =0<br />

Check you did the following correctly...

Programm3r wrote:
WCHAR *uni_username = NULL;
uni_username =L"richardb"

Allocate memory to uni_username and then copy the string...

Programm3r wrote:
nStatus = NetUserGetInfo(domaincontroller, uni_username, 3, (LPBYTE*)&buffer);

MSDN says that level 3 is only for servers.. is you pass NULL then your local system should be act as a server..

check what data type your buffer pointing to.. you should use USER_INFO_4

Do your Duty and Don't expect the Result

Thanx Parthi_Appu, i'll try that.

covert time_t ot LONG

sach!!2-Aug-06 19:48

sach!!

2-Aug-06 19:48

hi !!

I am newbie in VC++. I am having problem coverting a time_t varible into LONG data type.
as far as I know time_t is 64 bit int but I have no idea about LONG..

what is the safe way to do that??

Programm3r2-Aug-06 19:51

2-Aug-06 19:51

what about type casting?

Regards

Programm3r

sach!!2-Aug-06 19:58

sach!!

2-Aug-06 19:58

thx for the quick rpl!

I did type casting!!
The compiler agrees on that!
But is it really safe!!! It should not break at run-time.
Also how much byte does LONG takeS??

thx!!

Ganesh_T2-Aug-06 20:08

LONG is 4 bytes.

time_t is now a 64-bit value (unless _USE_32BIT_TIME_T is defined).

"A winner is not one who never fails...but the one who never quits"

sach!!2-Aug-06 20:35

sach!!

2-Aug-06 20:35

i defined _USE_32BIT_TIME_T in the header file at the top!!
I rebuild the solution.

Still its showing time_t as type int_64 and size 8 bytes.

where am I going wrong!
