You'll want to P/Invoke the FlashWindow native API. See http://pinvoke.net/default.aspx/user32.FlashWindow[^] for details. To get the window handle used in the first parameter, use the Handle property of your main form, or Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle (which is the HWND of the main form that was specified in Application.Run either directly or indirectly).
To make it flash an X number of times, you can either use a timer or something like this (might be a good idea to thread it so that execution isn't blocked just to flash the window):
int flash = 3;
for (int i=0; i<flash * 2; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(250);
FlashWindow(Handle, true);
}

Hello.
I read the article "Getting active TCP/UDP connections on a box" in coldeproject.com.
My application get all tcp connections and should close user selected connections.
But I have 2 problems:
problem 1 : I want to close slelected port from Listening ports.
I wrote below code for it ,but this don't work properly:
[DllImport("iphlpapi.dll",SetLastError=true)]
public extern static int SetTcpEntry(IntPtr pTcpRow);
IPHlpAPI32Wrapper.MIB_TCPROW Kill=new IPHlpAPI32Wrapper.MIB_TCPROW();
IntPtr current= globaltablepointer;
//globaltablepointer poit to start of array of MIB_TCPROW structure
current=(IntPtr)((int) current+(listBox1.SelectedIndex*24));
Kill.dwstate = MIB_TCP_STATE_DELETE_TCB;
// iterate the pointer of 4
current = (IntPtr)((int)current+4);
Kill.dwLocalAddr=(int)Marshal.ReadIntPtr(current);
current = (IntPtr)((int)current+4);
Kill.dwLocalPort=(int)Marshal.ReadIntPtr(current);
current = (IntPtr)((int)current+4);
Kill.dwRemoteAddr=(int)Marshal.ReadIntPtr(current);
current = (IntPtr)((int)current+4);
Kill.dwRemotePort=(int)Marshal.ReadIntPtr(current);
IntPtr pt=Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf(Kill));
Marshal.StructureToPtr(Kill,pt,true);
IPHelp.SetTcpEntry(pt);
problem 2 : What event happen when a port is opening.Is there any
message that I hook on it.
thanks

I'm currently working with windows desktop application. I have this installation package for my software as well, but when I install, then everything is just fine. Later, when I try to start my program from start menu, then it starts installation again. Why does this installation start?
Is there something wrong with this VS2003 installpackages? Application is written in C#.

hi forum,
I have made a signed XML document with MS Infopath 2003.
Is possible to extract a X.509 Certificate from the XML document and import it to a CAPICOM.Certificate class or a System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificate class?
thanks in advance.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the classes in the System.Security.Cryptography.Xml namespace to get the SignedXml.SigningKey, which is an AsymmetricAlgorithm. From that an other information you can reconstruct the X.509 certificate that contains the public key.
While I don't cover this topic exactly, you might find some helpful hints in my article, Using XML Digital Signatures for Application Licensing[^]. Both this and the signatures used by InfoPath use the industry standard XML Digital Signature specification. You can find more information about that on the W3C[^] site as WS-Signature.

thank you,
finally, i did this:
<br />
<br />
System.Xml.XmlNodeList nodeList = XmlDoc.GetElementsByTagName("X509Certificate");<br />
XmlNode node = (XMLNode)nodelist[0];<br />
CAPICOM.Certificate certificates = new CAPICOM.CertificateClass()<br />
certificate.Import(node.InnerText);<br />
<br />
..and it seems that works well

What are you confused about? The InnerText is the base64-encoded X.509 certificate, so Import should have no problem reading it (as long as such a method accepts base64-encoded text, which that one obviously does).
You should really try to avoid interop'ing the CryptoAPI, however. Most of the functionality you most likely need is already in the .NET Framework SDK. Mixing like this creates additional requirements, not to mentioning that marshaling data types from managed to unmanaged code can be very time consuming for certain types.

Hello all,
I am writing a app in C# and would like some direction on threads. I have the UI classes that includes a another non UI class and the ui class regesters events with the worker class. I want the worker class to take care of doing work in another thread. so the UI hooks up event calls something in the worker class and the worker class creates a new thread does some work and then trigger the event, but it need to call the event back on the UI thread. Any ideas on how to do this? Or a better design? Ideally I would like a good article or example etc. to look at/read. Thanks

My C# project needs to open a picture from an existent filepath,
after some processes, write back with the same filename.
I used filestream to open and save my file,
<br />
using(FileStream open = new FileStream(path,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.ReadWrite,FileShare.ReadWrite))<br />
{<br />
using (Image img = Image.FromStream(open))<br />
myPicture.PictureBox.Image = (Image)img.Clone(); <br />
}<br />
...<br />
...<br />
using(FileStream saveStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite,FileShare.ReadWrite))<br />
{<br />
PictureBox.Image.Save(saveStream,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp);<br />
}<br />
I can open my picture and show it successfully,
but when I want to save,
there's always "A generic error occurred in GDI+" message except the first time,
I find it seems to be the problem of permission,
but I don't know the solution.
Can anyone tell me how to solve it...??
Thanks a lot!!

Hello!
I have the following problem: I want to open a file that is permanently opened for write operations by another application. It is a log file.
I always encounter the same problem: the file is already opened and I couldn't find any method to open it anyway.
The purpose is to check the log from time to time without writing anything, just as easy as opening it with Notepad (which works just fine).
Is there a way to open it?
10x!

Open the file as readonly while permitting other applications to write to it - which is probably what Notepad is doing.

You need to request shared read access like so:
FileStream file = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open,
FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read);
using (file)
{
}If you don't request shared read access or simply read access, then no sharing is assumed and read/write access will also be assumed (which isn't allowed since the logging application has denied shared write access).

hi all,
does anyone know how to lock tables with ms sql?
thanks guys,
chris
|
|
|
|
|
|
Probably this post is better suited to the SQL/ADO forum...
Anyway, to lock a table exclusively for the duration of the command, include the directive (TABLOCKX) after the table name, for example SELECT * FROM Customers (TABLOCKX).

Hi~
Does the Windows XP connection firewall influence the traffic of ActiveSync?
Thanks~
|
|
|
|
|
If ActiveSync uses a TCP connection (found in corporate domain setups sometimes), yes. Otherwise, ActiveSync communicates through the USB or COM port, which is not controlled by the firewall.
If ActiveSync establishes an output TCP connection on behalf of your PocketPC, this shouldn't be a problem, either. The XP/2003 firewall allows all out-bound communication (though that will change a little with XP SP2, but the .NET Framework will be updated to accomodate that). If a service ActiveSync/PocketPC uses requests a user-defined port (like Active FTP), then there could be a problem since that port would most likely be blocked.

I have to search a public Exchange folder in a C# application.
The public folder is visible only for one user, so I tried to add Credentials to the web request,
as it is described in
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/e2k3/e2k3/_exch2k_searching_calendar_folders_webdav.asp ^:
<br />
MyCredentialCache = new System.Net.CredentialCache();<br />
MyCredentialCache.Add( new System.Uri("http://myFolderURI"),<br />
"NTLM",<br />
new System.Net.NetworkCredential(strUserName, strPassword, strDomain) );<br />
<br />
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(myFolderURI);<br />
request.Credentials = MyCredentialCache;<br />
Exchange does not use the credentials. I may access the server, so the credentials are working. But Request.GetResponse() throws an exception "404 Not Found".
I checked the folder path in Outlook Web Access and found out that Exchange uses the login information I've entered only for the personal folders. For public folders my Windows authentication is used.
That means if Im logged on to Windows as user "A" and log on to Web Access as user "B", I see the personal folders of "B" and the public folders as if I were "A". The same applies to WebDAV. The credentials are only usedfor personal folders, but I cannot access the public folders that are visible to the user specified in the credentials.
So my application has to impersonate the user before accessing Exchange. This worked with CDO before, so I think it should work here, too.
<br />
myContext = myWindowsIdentity.Impersonate();<br />
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(strCalendarURI);<br />
Now WebRequest.Create throws an exception:
Exception in cofiguration handler (c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\
v1.1.4322\Config\machine.config line 74)
machine.config contains a line proxy usesystemdefault="true", telling WebRequest to read the LAN settings from the registry.
This must fail, because the CURRENT_USER hive of the impersonated user is not loaded.
To override this setting I created a configuration file "appname.exe.config" in the /bin/Debug folder, but it changed nothing. My configuration file is not being used - What's wrong? 
How can I access the public folder as anotehr user via WebDAV?
...get impersonation and the config file to work?
...get Exchange to accept my request credentials instead of using Windows Authentication?
Thanks for every hint,
coco

Interesting problem. So when you redefine that in your app.config, it's not affecting anything? Since machine.config is the parent config section, any changes in your app.config will overwrite those changes (or add to/remove from/clear a collection, etc.).
The weird thing is that your Windows Identity is obtained through NTLM, for which your providing credentials. So when you use a web browser that supports NTLM (IE and Mozilla 1.7+) that identity is obtained through NTLM. The username is used to resolve the path, while the credentials are used to authenticate the user.
On thing you could try is to assign your own WebProxy to HttpWebRequest.Proxy. That should override any checking for registry settings. Also keep in mind that proxy discovery isn't in the registry and .NET won't parse that information. Would be nice if they added support for that in future versions of the Framework.
