Hi All,
My app seems to run ok on vista, apart from one thing-
it writes to the registry to set up file associations.
Whilst this works fine in XP, in vista i get security exceptions if i'm not an administrator.
Is there a non-administrator way to programmatically configure file associations in vista?
or, how can i invoke UAC in order to gain the correct permissions to access the registry?
Thanks
Jon

There is not a non-admin way to manipulate that part of the registry. Since you are configuring file associations, the proper way to do that would be as part of the application installer, which will already be running with the required elavated privileges.

Write your associations to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes instead of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
That way they will be set up only for the current user.
If you want to set up associations for all users on the machine, that requires administrative rights. The easiest way to get a UAC prompt is to create a separate .exe with a manifest (with requestedExecutionLevel). The other way would be COM elevation[^].

Hi,
I'm trying to copy a bitmap of a user control to the clipboard and then into OpenOffice Writer.
The problem I have is that nothing gets copied into OpenOffice Writer. I always have to first paste the bitmap to WordPad, then copy it again to the clipboard from there and only then can I paste the bitmap into OOWriter.
The issue seems to be the format of the bitmap I copy to the clipboard (BITMAP and DIB BITMAP - according to Clipboard Viewer). When I add the step using WordPad, it adds the formats ENHANCED METAFILE and PICTURE.
Here's the question: How can I also copy the bitmap as Enhanced Metafile and Picture, as that would probably solve my problem.
Here's the code I'm using:
<br />
Point topLeft = this.PointToScreen(this.Location);<br />
Size screenshotSize = this.Size;<br />
<br />
Bitmap bmpScreenshot = new Bitmap(screenshotSize.Width, screenshotSize.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);<br />
<br />
Graphics gfxScreenshot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot);<br />
gfxScreenshot.CopyFromScreen(topLeft, new Point(0, 0), screenshotSize, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);<br />
<br />
Clipboard.SetImage(bmpScreenshot);<br />
<br />
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

On 2 dbservers we have tables that are equal to achother.
One production DB server and one TestDB Server (Different machines!)
They both have the same tables.
I want to check one table on btoh systems row by row.
I know that the first 10000 rows are equal.
But if I check DataRows with
if (test.Rows[i] != production.Rows[i]) {}
the statement always return true even if both rows have the same data!
How can I properly check the values in the DataRow if they really have differences?
I tried with ItemArray too, but no success.

U R checking the reference of 2 Objects.
It will always evaluate to false.
Try this:
if(IsEqual(test.Rows[i],production.Rows[i]))
{
}
private bool IsEqual(R1,R2)
{
flag=true;
for(int i=0;i<R1.columns.count)
if(R1.ItemArray[i].ToString()!=R2.ItemArray[i].ToString())
flag=false;
return flag;
}

Hi Arun,
you brought me in the right direction.
if(R1.ItemArray[i].ToString()!=R2.ItemArray[i].ToString()) should be
if(R1.ItemArray.GetValues(i).ToString()!=R2.ItemArray.GetValues(i).ToString())
In that case I could check field by field if any differences occur. Thanks a lot for your help cause my problem was made very clear between the 2 databases in an instant. COOL

Why do you want to check one table on "both" systems row by row? You then do and extra, non-logical row checkup for the rows on their own table  I assume you want to check if the rows of a table in databaseFirst exist in a table in databaseSecond.
1) Execute select * from 1st table and store the result in a DataTable
2) Execute select * from 2nd table and store the result in a DataTable
3) You should compare the values of each row manually or wrap the DataRow object in your own implementation where you override Object.Equals and Object.GetHashCode() methods where you compare specific values ( row[column1], row[column2]...e.t.c.)
4) For value types: != compares values BUT
For reference types like DataRow, it compares the reference (memory address) which is in your case always different because you are already comparing DataRows in different tables.
Hope this helps,

Hello All
I am updating a database on a server using a web service, the web service, my program is reading a large text files in my local machine and every 1000 line send them as an array of type string to the web service method that accepts string array , it runs will for a while but after 2 or min it gives me an exception "The request failed with HTTP status 400: Bad Request"
can any one help on this plz!
|
|
|
|
|
Does the request exceed the default limit of 4 MB?

I don't know exactly what you mean, but if you mean the size of the string array, I had used a string array that contains 1000 line and another one that uses 100 line from the txt file, and both give me the same result.

Get ProcessExplorer or a similar tool and monitor the asp.net process that is running your webservice, I think that IIS is restarting the process due to large amount of RAM usage. I got the same error uploading large files by calling a webservice, chunk by chunk. A solution is to use free the memory from time to time by calling the Garbage Collector.

How can i call the Garbage Collector on the server machine, i am running my application on a client machine all i can do is to call the web service on the server, plz help

Hello,
As you know helpprovider component helps you to integrate help 1.0 files in the application. These are chm or html files. Is there a way to integrate help 2.0 files (hxs, msdn style help) into my windows forms application? So that it opens at specified place in document explorer like it happens in VS 2005. Thanks

Hi I have created a a service project in C#
It was installed perfectly. When the service started, It is giving error as "Could not perform requested operation for the Service "ServiceName" in local machine.

If I remove the 2 line:
The service is installed and starting and stoping.
If I put this 2 line,m Service is installed but not starting. It give the following error:
"Could not perform requested operation for the Service "ServiceName" in local machine.
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

My first guess would be whoever you set up the windows server to run as, that is the username and password does not have rights to do what you are trying to do.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Ben!!!
In effect when I try to start the service I
receive an error that says something like that: "The DataBaseService
service on the local computer has been started and then stopped. Some
services stop automatically if there aren't operation to execute, for
example ........ "
|
|
|
|
|
Most of the time when I get that error, it means my username and password are not valid. That is not a good message to get. You want to get sevice started successfully.
Ben
|
|
|
|
|
But I changed the Account Properties to: LocalService
Still I am getting the same error
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think you want it to run as localservice. I was set up a new user and password for that server with the correct rights on the computer to do what it needs to do.

Thanks Ben.
The Code works fine if I remove the 2 lines from the Start Method.
QuoteServer.QuoteServer quoteServer;
quoteServer=new QuoteServer.QuoteServer(@"C:\Documents and Settings\sumantar\Desktop\C#\C# Experiment\QuoteServer\quotes.txt",4567);
quoteServer.Start();
Even the start method is not having any thing
public void Start()
{
}
Without the above 2 lines the code works fine. When I put these lines, It gives error
|
|
|
|
|
If you take those two lines out of the start method then your window service doesn't do anything. I don't know what a quoteserver is, but I am guessing the user that the windows sevice is running as needs to have some rights. I would guess by default what ever user you are using doesn't have rights to your personal desktop. I would suggest creating a folder called C:\temp Put your quotes.txt file in c:\temp and change your QuoteServer call to point to c:\temp. Or set the user and password as you since you have access to your own desktop.
Hope that helps.

Hello
I'm developing a UserControl like you can see in TaskPane of "My computer".
For this i used GroupBox with Label control and some effects to expanding and collapsing it.
Then when i used this usercontrol in one windows project, I couldn't add controls to it! I want to add controls like button from toolbox to it in design time by drag-n-drop.

public UserControl1()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
this.ControlAdded += new ControlEventHandler(UserControl1_ControlAdded);<br />
}<br />
