The .NET P/Invoke marshaller has special knowledge about some types.
For example when passing a String, it passes the pointer to the string data, not the pointer to the managed string object.
When passing a StringBuilder, the .NET marshaller passes a pointer to the StringBuilder's internal buffer.
Another useful idiom is the SafeHandle: you can create your own SafeHandle-derived class and directly use that in P/Invoke signatures. The .NET marshaller will pass the underlying handle (IntPtr) instead. This is extremely useful because it avoids a number of problems: for example the finalizer could run when there are no active references to your object, but the underlying handle is still being used in a P/Invoke call. Using a SafeHandle directly in the P/Invoke signature makes the GC aware that the handle is used during the lifetime of the P/Invoke call, and it'll avoid finalizing the object until the call is complete.

This is the voodoo that had me baffled the most. To the .NET developer, the StringBuilder is a sophisticated managed class, but somehow the API is able to treat is like a char* (I think).
Thank you!

I need to read the Comments, Keywords (Description) in the metadata of a JPG file and then be able to write a modified comment. This is proving tricky and help would be appreciated. This metadata is that which appears when the image is right-clicked and these tags can be changed there.
What I am after is to be able to edit EXIF in JPG images, but I cant find any information in VB.

I have an updatepanel with 3 dropdownlist and the selected item from the 1st one binds the 2nd, the selected item from the 2nd binds the 3rd and so on. For example you select a state and then the 2nd ddl has the list of cities in that state.
Well when a state is selected, the 2nd shows all the cities but the problem is that I can not select another city. The first on will always be selected and cb2_SelectedIndexChanged doesnt fire.
Thanks,
Martin
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server" UpdateMode="Conditional" >
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="cb1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" />

<asp:DropDownList ID="cb3" runat="server" AutoPostBack="true" />
</ContentTemplate>

<asp:AsyncPostBackTrigger ControlID="cb1" EventName="SelectedIndexChanged" />

Don't use multiple Triggers tags. If that isn't the source of your problem it is as least making it tougher to read your code. And if these dropdowns are the only things in the UpdatePanel you should consider just settings ChildrenAsTriggers and not even bother with the individual ASyncPostBackTrigger elements.

The easy way to do this is to use a scheduled job in the windows scheduler that is set to run at a set interval. Don't muck about attempting to write code to do this when the OS provides a perfectly serviceable method.

Hello,
I have a special requirement where I need to show grouped data in expandable form. For eg:
Order Date Total Amt
+ 1 05/06/2010 100.00
Item Qty Rate Amt
A 5 10 50.00
B 2 25 50.00
This format we normally see in Access when the data is grouped or a primary key of table A is the foreign key of table B. If I clikc "+" sign next to order #, I get to see the item details belonging to that order. If the order is already expanded "-" sign lies and if their are no item details pertaining to any order their should be no sign.
I know I can do this format using Tree, but that looks too off profesional.
Can you suggest me any idea to implement this using Vb.NET.
Thanks,
Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.
But I need it for VB.NET application and not a web application. It doesn't seem that I can use this component in Vb.NET desktop application. Any idea or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks & Regards,

Perhaps you should have specified the technology was Windows not Web.
There are plenty of examples here. Like this one, Collapsible Panels in VB.NET[^]

Not every example will be in VB.NET and you should learn to read and understand other languages and how to translate it to your needs.

Thanks alot, Mark. 
Your links answered my query much better. Thanks once again.
Yes Mark, I can read and translate from any to any among C#, VB, Java. But needed some guideline for start up also.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
In SSIS is possible to check
a) Excel template check ie comparing the column names of each sheet with another standard sheet
The SSIS must check if the uploaded excel is matching the standard excel.
b)The SSIS must pick any excel sheet placed in server.mappath ie able to pick any excel file names.
c)Also the SSIS must read the excel sheets and port data to respective tables.
How to do?
How to do these tasks in SSIS package.
If we deploy this,will the package check excek sheet format and notify admin,if any things goes wrong.
Thanks

HI,
How to create SSIS package in VS 2010
which option we need to choose
guhananth.S

|
|
|
|
You cannot create an SSIS package in VS 2010. The installation of SQL Server 2008 can install the Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) which is a variant of VS 2008. BIDS provides the templates and capability of creating and deploying SSIS packages

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question. We are currently using Visual Source Safe and VS 2002/2003. We are looking to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010. I need to know if Visual Source Safe will work with VS 2010 or do I need to move to Team Foundation Server? And does Team Foundation Server come with VS 2010? And what are the pros and cons of using one over the other?
And before any one suggest a different version control software package, that is not an option. I work for a university and with our licensing agreement I have to go with one or the other.
Thanks,
Carolyn
