Oooppps, I was thinking of the .NET Framework SDK requirements.[^]. Thanks James, I think it time for me to go to bed now.

Honestly, I'm not sure, although I do know that there were some changes in message handling, that started with W2K. I was only thinking in terms of giving you a better solution to your problem, and had not looked into the cause of your difficulties.
A simple way to find out, would be to temporarily add logging to app (or add a textbox), and list every message received in your new handler. Then just compare the list of events triggered after clicking the minimise button in W98 and W2K. You could do the same thing with Spy++ too.
One of the frustrations I have with .Net, is that I can't see how things work like is possible with MFC/ATL/WTL. So the answers aren't always obvious.

The following doesn't seem to work:
set o = CreateObject("TestNamespace.Test")
After compiling Test.dll and running regasm Test.dll. I've also tried regasm /tlb Test.dll.
The error I'm getting is "ActiveX object can't create component TestNamespace.Test".
It does work if I place the dll in the gac. Shouldn't vbscript look for the dll in the current directory? What should I be doing to get this to work without using the gac?

Use the /codebase parameter to regasm (btw the /tlb option is actually /tlb:filename).
The /codebase option gives you functionality you are used to with regular COM server dlls in that you don't need to know where the server is located for it to work.

Ok that does seem to work. Appreciate it. But why doesn't it just look in the current directory? Kind of odd that it would need the codebase tag.

It *should* work with it in the build directory. But if I remember correctly when you run the program from within the VB6 IDE you aren't actually running your exe in the build directory. You are running something from within the VB6 program directory.
I don't have VB6 installed anymore so I can't verify this; but it jives with everything I remember.

Well I don't see why it doesn't just *always* look in the current directory for the dll even if you are running a vb6 exe (I did copy the dll to the vb6 build dir). Just doesn't make sense why you would need a static codebase.

It uses the same loading scheme that the framework uses when it goes to load a .NET assembly. Going from memory this means: Look in the GAC, look in the same directory as the executable, and finally look in the probing directories as specified in the configuration file (by default this is set to "bin\").
Using my current project (a C++ program using a custom .NET assembly via the CCW) as an example.
Test.exe -> C++ program
Managed.dll -> .NET assembly
Run regasm with /codebase on Managed.dll and I can place Test.exe in any directory with or without Managed.dll and it will run.
Run regasm without /codebase (after first /unregistering it). Now Managed.dll must reside in the same directory as Test.exe, but I can run Test.exe from any directory (ie place both in \test\ run from the commandline in \).
If you check out this thread[^] there are some comments about how loading works when using CCW'd components.

Cool, the /unregister tip did the trick. Guess I overlooked that.

Hi,
I am working with Task Scheduler, which in order to work correctly under XP needs to have a valid username and password in the Run As settings.
Under XP, its possible to have accounts that do not have passwords assigned. So task scheduler will never run, even with a blank password.
I've looked at WindowsIdentity, which works great to obtain the account name, but nothing further to authenticate or look at attributes of the account.
Does anyone know how I can detect whether an account has been assigned a password? And if it hasnt, how I can provide a link to have the user set
a password?

I'm having trouble trying to access the different colour depths and sizes in an icon. Does anybody know how to load an icon into memory and pull the correct image depending on the system colour depth and users size selection?
I'm trying to provide different icons for disabled users but the imagelist will only hold one size and depth and the class is the same!

So I have this datagrid in a web user control. The grid has some basic link buttons for functionality like Edit, Add, Update and Cancel. They all work fine when the user control is put on a web page.
I came across a need to have this datagrid repeat with some other information so I put the user control in a datalist. Now only the Edit and Add buttons work. I set some breakpoints, and it looks like any of the buttons located in the grid's EditItemTemplate will not fire their grid events. I set up some events and breakpoints in the datalist as well to see if the events were bubbling up somehow, but they weren't.
When I click on the Update or Cancel link buttons the grid reverts back to EditItemIndex equal to -1 or at least the edit line is going back to the regular ItemTemplate. I set breakpoints everyplace I was setting the grid's EditItemIndex, and again no dice.
Has anybody run into this problem? Anybody figure out a solution?

How can I protect the MSIL code?
I've seen that Anakrino can convert MSIL code to C# code very easy.

Sure  you could check this out:.Net IL-Obfuscator[^]. I believe they have a free trial and their product purchase price is a lot more reasonable. Here is another if you are still looking:Salamander .NET obfuscator[^].

Actually, if you're willing to do it, then what you could do is go into ILDASM, export the IL, and then move some of the class members so they're global level members, then rewrite the parts that call them to call them as global.
It makes Anakrino GPF becaue C# doesn't have any concept of global members.
I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past.

I need to learn the MSIL first I think, or some part of it!
Can you show me something, how to make a varible global? A tutorial?
Something?
I have Inside C# SE and in the end there is a MSIL reference that I'll read!

I need some help. I need source code that will recursively search the registry and delete text found. It would need to work on 95/98/NT/XP/2000. I'm looking to return a list (perhaps in a list box) of all keys (ALL TEXT) that were found. If that Text appears anywhere in registry I want it added to my list. Then I can select/deselect what I wish and then delete the selected items. Allow someone to highlight and delete specific ones.
Any ideas?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
Derek

I have been writing registry editors, searchers, and replacers for some time, so perhaps I could help. However, the core guts of almost all my code is in C or C++. I have tinkered with other languages, but none I have tried have efficient enough string handling to prevent the user from falling asleep.
One catch is the Win95 requirement, which eliminates the .Net languages. Thus, your options are to use strictly C/C++ to target Win95, or exclude Win95 and use .Net (and optionally a managed wrapper around some C++ to get decent performance).
If you can tell me how you wish to proceed, I can explain further.
Cheers

Yes, I would like some help. I emailed you earlier. Any help you could provide would be great. My primary language is C++. I'd like to have it list the locations and values of where it found the text that I am searching for, and allow me to choose to delete or not delete a certain entry.
