Clever trick.
As it turned out, I renamed the folders... it turned out there were only four folders to "fix" and the registry entries were all MRU (Most Recently Used) references, created from my investigating the problem, so they were irrelevant.
Then having done that, I figured out that I was better off copying and adjusting necessary chunks of code from the samples, rather than using the wizard.
I wasn't all that keen on all the unnecessary classes that the wizard was creating.

In C#,
I did the interop to bring the COM IMoniker interface into C#, and then I made a C# class that implements IMoniker. I made an instance of the class I made, and then I casted it to get an IMoniker.
I then called a com method, IPersistMoniker.Load, and passed it my IMoniker object. I get a generic error, System.ExecutionEngineException.
I'm guessing that the problem has something to do with going "the other way" with com interop- that I'm passing my interface from managed C# into the COM method. Am I right?
What do I have to do to the C# object to make COM digest it, is there just one of those [] things I put ontop of the c# object?

I'm by no means a COM expert, but did you call regasm so that COM knows where to find your code?
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest asking on the microsoft.public.dotnet.frameworks.interop newsgroup.

If I remember correctly, MS reps have said that if you *ever* get an ExecutionEngineException it is considered a bug in the framework. Hopefully our resident MS dev will come by again soon 
I'm not a COM guru so I'll just leave it at that then waste your time.

thank you, you didn't waste my time at all- knowing that this might not be my fault and could be a bug in the framework is VERY helpful. it means i can go do other stuff rather than banging my head on the screen.
thanks

how can i close a application from within a seperate .exe when the seperate .exe is done doing its tasks.
(exsample: a update program is what im shooting for. it is a compiled .exe but when the downloads are complete i want to close the program it is going too update from within the update program itself. does System.Diagnostics have a close funtion or something?)

Do not know if the C# libs have such a command but you could use the Windows API to do the same. Sending a WM_CLOSE to the window of the other application is one way.
This could be of help. If C# does have a function, It will probably be calling some Windows API. Just a hunch.

so i need to get the proccess id of the application i want to shut down ? then what... is that in the System.Diagnostics class. i found ProcessModule.EntryPointAddress could i find the process id from that? or is it in ProccesModule.EntryPointAdress

See this example on CP
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/runninginstanceie.asp
It will show you how to enumerate through windows and then how to close them. The example talks about IE windows, you will need to search for the window with your processID rather than a module name of IEXPLORE. Hope this helps.
|
|
|
|
|
I think you can use the System.Diagnostics.Process class. It has a method that will allow you to get the process id of an application based on its window caption. Then you can shut down that process.

You would need to use P/Invoke to send the WM_CLOSE message in C#. You will need the handle to the current running executable for this as well.
public const int WM_CLOSE = 0x0010;
[DllImport("user32.dll",CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
static public extern long SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, int wParam, int lParam);

I have a property in a class, lets pretend that its called Foo.Message. Now i only want the class [or classes derived from] Bar to be able to get/set the property, but i want all other classes to be able to get the property. can this be done?

Nope 
For some reason MS decided not to let the get/set methods have different visibility modifiers.

i created a class that i use as a display when errors occure in my program (in place of the messageboxclass). my question is how can import let alone play the standard messagebox sounds (like for question,asterisk,error,ect).
thanks alot.

You can get the wave files configured on the system by looking at the following registry branch:
HKCU - AppEvents - Schemes - Apps
Under there you will see a series of 'System' settings:
SystemAsterisk
SystemExclamation
SystemHand
SystemQuestion
As far as playing them, I belive that you are stuck using the windows MM APIs or some other method. I am not sure if the .NET framework has a set of methods to play waves or not.

Hi All,
I'm stuck with a problem serializing and de-serializing an array. I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me with. I'm trying to serialize an array of my custom class Query to a file. But when I check the file, I can only see one query in there. And when I try to de-serialize it I get an error saying Object doesn't implement IConvertable.
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I've put the code below, maybe yee'd like to compile it and check what’s going wrong?
Thanks,
Donal

Hello all, I'm fairly new to the C# and windows programming world, been stuck in the console too long..but anyways, im trying to write a collabseable groupbox type control, with a +/- in the top left of the groupbox, then allowing it to expand/collapse like a treenode..can anyone point me in the direction of where i need to start at? Thanks alot! ..i've read through alot of the tutorials but im still not sure on how i would make the list collapse and re-expand ..using OnPaint() i did have the +/- working with the MouseDown() event so that it changed from a + to a - correctly, but that was inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox and using OnPaint() and OnMouseDown() ..thanks for any help you might be able to give me!

Yep that's actually what I've ended up doing so far..Using a panel is there any reason i shouldn't be able to draw a borderline around the whole thing and then encase the text in the middle of that borderline, to pretty much emulate a groupbox? Thanks alot for your help!!

I'm developing an application that charts data from an online real-time data vendor. I'd like to split the program into two main parts: 1) a server part that logs into and maintains the connection to the data feed, and 2) a charting/analysis part that charts and applies algorithms to the data.
The minimum requirement is once the server part is developed, I want to be able to: 1) login, 2) open a chart, 3) close the chart, 4) edit and recompile the charting code in visual studio without having to logoff. 4) open the chart again with the new edits operational.
The ideal senerio would be to not only stay logged on while editing and recompiling the charting code, but also not have to close the chart first. On recompile the edits would automatically be updated into the open chart.
It would seem that the server will need to be an exe and the charting a dll. In C# it looks like to accomplish dynamic loading and unloading of the charting dll, the charting dll will need to be in its own application domain.
I've studied Eric Gunnerson's MSDN article "AppDomains and Dynamic Loading" and this seems to be close to what I'm after. However his approach seems overly complex. I'm hoping to find a simpler way and hopefully some examples to implement my above stated minimum requirement and/or the ideal senerio.
Mark Clifton's Application Automation Layer also looks interesting.
Any thoughts/sugestions/examples would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Brian Dalby

If you need to unload and reload to the same type, the only way of doing it is with app domains.
You can sometimes get away with serializing the name of the type (chart1, chart2, chart3) when you modify it, and only load the new type. It's a bit ugly, however, and has more memory usage.

Hello,
For work I need to make a web based application.
I know JAVA applets will do what I want (this needs to be more like a windows prog and less like a web page)... does C# have anything like a JAVA applet???
