Hi there,
Is there any way to create a simple client/server program in a 16 bit (dos)
project?
I can only use this kind of mode (dos 16 bit) because the microchip i am trying to control remotely connected to the server only supports borland 5.02 DOS 16 BIT projects.
thank you for helping and any suggestions are heart-warmingly welcome!

Hello Alok,
Your concerns are quite similar to thos of another Code Project member : Akshay (see other messages before this one).
First, make sure that when you define your COM object in ATL, you specify that your object is to support connection points.
Next, you define your event interface (which is an "outgoing" interface, not to be implemented by your COM Object but by your VB client app). Note that because your events are to be captured by a VB app, your event interface must be dual-interfaced (i.e. it must be derived from IDispatch).
Last, you must make your COM Object implement connection point. You can do this by right clicking your COM Object in the object pane and then selecting the "Implement Connection Point" menu item. You will be presented with a list of event interfaces to support (note that you simply support the event interface and you do not write the implementation of the event, this remains the job of your VB client app).
That's three simple steps but alot must go on in between them. Read up David S Platt's "The Essence of COM and ActiveX (A Programmers's Workbook)" for simple tutorials on this.
Best Regards,
Bio.

Hi,
Has anybody had any luck using the Microsoft SQLServer ODBC drivers (Driver version: 03.81.9030, ODBC version : 03.52)
to connect to a SQL Server 2000 database and passing in a SELECT with a FOR XML clause. I keep
getting Error [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]The FOR XML clause is not allowed in a CURSOR statement
., State: 42000, Error: 6819.
Is there a work around (eg putting the select in a stored procedure) or am I missing something ?
I am using SQLExecDirect() to execute the statement.
Or could any one suggest a better way to retrieve data from a standard table in XML formated string?
Please Help!!

When you do a create instance you specify the CLSID of your server which is unique and hence you are getting connected to the the first instance. Personally I think your EXE being an Out Of Process COM Server should be single instance and support MTA. Please, Correct me if I am wrong.

Have a great day ahead!

Right it is out of process, but it is not single instance. The server is started first and can run serveral instance, which one is for a purpose.

Hello Richard,
I believe that in general, it is not possible to control the actual instance of your COM exe server from which to create your COM object.
This remains the privilege of the COM system. One thing that -is- controllable, however, is whether a new instance of your COM exe server is launched whenever a new instance of your COM object is created. Visual Basic allows for setting this.
I think that at runtime, the COM system refers to some value in the registry to determine whether a new instance of your COM server is to be launched. I really do not know what is the registry key to refer. I'll let you know once I find this out.
Hope the above helps, Richard.
Regards,
Bio.

I think you're seeing the situation the wrong way.
Your COM server should be Unique but think of it as the entry point for what you really need to be in multiple instances.
For example, see it as getting the handle of an Excel Application object, then you would want your client app to be able to select or create a new Excel Workbook.
So, Basicly, Client App gets a Handle to the COM server primary object which might contain a collection of SomeAppInstance that your client application can present to the user. The user is presented with 3 choices, 1) Select an instance, 2) Create a new instance, 3) Cancel Selection/Connection.
Hope this applies to your needs.

How to get message string for HRESULTs I got from URLDownloadToFile() and other URL Monikers functions?
8 is error
C is FACILITY_INTERNET
5 is some error code.
I need smth like FormatMessage() API.
I tried FormatMessage() from modules "wininet.dll" and "urlmon.dll" (for codes 0x800C0005 and 5) but that does not work:
// hr == 0x800C0005
FormatMessage (FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_HMODULE | FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | FORMAT_MESSAGE_IGNORE_INSERTS,
GetModuleHandle("wininet.dll"), hr & 0xFFFF, 0, (LPTSTR) &msg, 0, NULL);
InternetGetLastResponse() does not return anything too.
BTW, I found the following explanations is MSDN:
The server or proxy was not found (Error=800C0005)
The protocol is not known and no pluggable protocols have been entered that match. (Error=800C000D)
What are other codes (I experienced 0x800C0007, 0x800C0008)?
|
|
|
|
|
BTW2, using IErrorInfo with GetErrorInfo() COM function does not return any error too.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know how to translate automatically to strings, but for the URLMon error messages, you can look into the UrlMon.h header (in Platform SDK), where the codes are somehow described
e.g.
0x800C0005L - INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND
0x800C0007L - INET_E_DATA_NOT_AVAILABLE
0x800C0008L - INET_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE
...
for detailed description you can then search for the descriptive code in MSDN (or google)

I have declared a linked list(requirement is like that) which contains another list. Now i wanted to pass that linked across DCOM. For communication i am using connection point. Please help me out in this or provide any alternate solution.

Hi
That is not possible, you can only pass arrays or more simpler types through DCOM. Please read MSDN about 'IDL', or a good COM book.

Hello Akshay,
Event firing in a COM server is a very tricky process. This is especially true if your COM server is based on the apartment-threaded-model.
You must be able to obtain the event handling functions of your object's client application. This can be a complicated process involving going through the connection point clients of your COM object. From there, you can obtain the event handling functions of your Com object's events. Firing an event is simply invoking these event handling functions (of your client).
If you are using the apartment-threaded-model, you also will not be able to fire these events directly from within your thread. These event handling functions must be marshalled to your thread.
I really do not wish to disappoint you, Akshay, but event firing from within a thread (separate from the thread in which your COM object is created) is simply -NOT- a trivail or simple task.
I hope to write an article on this topic in the near future. I'll keep you posted on this. Meantime, I'll try to search for some good book references that can help you along.
Best Regards,
Bio.
