Have you changed the project settings to use UNICODE characters ? The linker is looking for a console application, but the project is being compiled as windows application.

May be you defined UNICODE in project settings and doesn't defined the entry point
If so set Project Settings -> Link -> Output -> Entry-point = wWinMainCRTStartup

I currently done with my programming for the CSP. The problem that I’m having is, I have the different result whenever I run the CSP program. FYI, currently I have 2 type of CSP dll, a.dll already been signed by Microsoft where b.dll is the one that I develop(still in the development stage).

Run in Vista Ultimate/Win XP SP3.

Replace the latest advapi32.dll(from one of the sources from Internet)
1. Place the a.dll and testcsp.exe to c:\windows\system32
2. Run command : regsvr32 a.dll  result FAIL
3. Run command : cspSign c a.dll  result PASS
4. Run command : regsvr32 a.dll  result FAIL
5. Run testcsp.exe  result PASS
Question : Is the result PASS because the a.dll already been sent to Microsoft for signing?

Replace the latest advapi32.dll(from one of the sources from Internet)
1. Place the b.dll and testcsp.exe to c:\windows\system32
2. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
3. Run command : cspSign c b.dll  result PASS
4. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
5. Run testcsp.exe  result FAIL
Question : Is the result FAIL because the b.dll is not been signing?

Use the original advapi32.dll
1. Place the b.dll and testcsp.exe to c:\windows\system32
2. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
3. Run command : cspSign c b.dll  result PASS
4. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
5. Run testcsp.exe  result FAIL
Question : Is the result FAIL because I didn’t replace the advapi32.dll?

Run XP (the same environment during the development of a.dll)
1. Place the b.dll and testcsp.exe to c:\windows\system32
2. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
3. Run command : cspSign c b.dll  result PASS
4. Run command : regsvr32 b.dll  result FAIL
5. Run testcsp.exe  result PASS
Question : Why both of the b.dll is PASS?

FYI, a.dll was compiled using Visual 6.0 and b.dll was compiled using Visual Studio 2005. Is the compiler cause the different result of during the testing?

Thank You.

msdev.exe - executable is the IDE of Visual Studio 6.0, which supports command line options to build project, as well. From Visual Studio 2003 onwards, the IDE executable changed its name to devenv.exe. That's why you are not able to evoke msdev by installing Visual Studio 2008. Well, check this article[^] about how to build project via command line by using devenv.exe.

Using CRecordset with foreign keys

mevatron117-Dec-08 8:11

Hi,

I'm fairly new to database programming, but I have been using MFC and C++ for a while. So, here is the problem I'm having.

Here is a basic description of the two tables I'm using.
PersonTable
PersonId, INT, AUTO_INCREMENT (Primary Key)
Name, VARCHAR(32)

ImageTable
ImageId, INT, AUTO_INCREMENT (Primary Key)
ImageBlob, LARGE_BLOB
PersonId, INT (Foreign Key)

Basically, I want to insert the person record into the person table, next insert the image for that person into the image table, and finally link the ImageTable.PersonId to the PersonTable.PersonId.

So, here is the code I'm currently using

<br />
personTable.AddNew();<br />
personTable.m_Name = "Joe";<br />
personTable.Update();<br />
<br />
personTable.Requery();<br />
personTable.MoveLast();<br />
<br />
long personId_ForeignKey = personTable.m_PersonId;<br />
<br />
//... later in the image table insert code<br />
imageTable.AddNew();<br />
// set the image blob here<br />
imageTable.m_PersonId = personId_ForeignKey;<br />
imageTable.Update();

This works, but what concerns me is that this isn't safe for concurrent inserts. If multiple clients are inserting into the database, then I could get the wrong foreign key when I call "personTable.MoveLast()." Is there a better way to do this? Thanks!

Do you have an example of a stored procedure to do that for my simple tables? Will the imageBlob be a problem for the stored procedure?

Will, I also saw your reply to David. While there might be an example identical to your scenario I am not aware of one. That said there is certainly much information about stored procedures. They can be product specific so make sure you use the documentation and tutorials for the database product you are working with. Also there is a Database forum here at code project.

I strongly urge you to take some time learning about database programming. Like most subjects in software development, there are choices that come with benefits and detractors and not knowing the details of the subject (database development ) can lead to undesirable results.

What about wrapping the code in a transaction, like:

personTable.m_pDatabase->BeginTrans();
 
personTable.AddNew();
personTable.m_Name = "Joe";
personTable.Update();
 
personTable.Requery();
personTable.MoveLast();
 
personTable.m_pDatabase->CommitTrans();

I'm not sure if it's optimal, however.

Sadly, this doesn't work.

I set a breakpoint on the personTable.Requery() line

personTable.m_pDatabase->BeginTrans();
 
personTable.AddNew();
personTable.m_Name = "Joe";
personTable.Update(); // <-- This inserts a new key == 1
 
personTable.Requery(); // <-- placed breakpoint here
personTable.MoveLast();
 
personTable.m_pDatabase->CommitTrans();

I then ran another instance of the program to let it run to completion first, so I ended up with the imageTable.PersonId == 2 for both rows in the imageTable. Thanks for your time!

About USB ports

Few months back i had asked about how to disable USB ports thru vc++.
and i got replies saying disable it through registry.

one thing i forgot to ask.

if i disable the USB post through registry then will windows still recognise the USB ports??
and will it still send some power to it?
and is there any way to control the power to it?

basically m making a project on power management.
can someone help me out with it?

i need help on accessing BIOS from windows...

Hi,
Have a look at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms791235.aspx This is part of the setup api which I recently used to find the names of devices (such as usb ports). The documentation on this method mentions enabling/disabling. It seems cleaner to use these methods rather than access the registry directly. Have a look at http://www.codeproject.com/KB/wtl/DeviceInformation.aspx which is code I used to see the devices and might help. It does need WTL to compile though.

hey i jus saw the article

but this is want i dont like:
"DICS_DISABLE
Disables the device. If the device can be disabled but this function cannot disable the device dynamically, this function marks the device to be disabled the next time the machine reboots. "

i need to disable the USB port thru my prog and then enable it again without restarting the comp.

Hi,

I'd expect power saving to be apply to most devices, not just USB, so it's quite possible there is an API to do this. Just as the setup API I mentioned provided what I needed. In a quick search on MSDN I found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387973(VS.85).aspx. This starts off: "The CIM_PowerSupply class represents the capabilities and management of the power supply logical device.". I don't know if this applies to USB but this could be where you need to start researching.

Create an imagelist (CImageList).
Add icons to the imagelist.
Attach it to the listctrl.
While inserting items pass the index of the icon in the imagelist to the insert function.
