Dear Friends,
I the project i am working on, i've a requirement of some very simple work related to active directory. Actually, i've to just query some data.
Now i am searching for some kind of article from which i can quickly learn only the basics of Active Directory, its installation and some basic programming of AD in C#.
If you are aware of any such resource(s) which can help me in quickly done my job then please tell me.
Sometimes google is not of much help and experience of friends is more useful.

Hi!
Obviously you didn't use CP's Search function - there are several articles giving a good introduction.

Does anybody have a good pattern for invoking methods on GUI controls from a different thread?
Writing all these shims is just downright annoying...

It turns out that System::Action comes to the rescue. I wrote this method in my GUI class:
void Invoke(Delegate del) {
Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Input, del);
}Then I add code like this in my delegate handlers:Invoke(new Action( () => { ... }));
I'm guessing I could create a generic delegate chain which automatically calls the Invoke method on an arbitrary Dispatcher object, so that the event handler always runs in the GUI thread context. Just one more thing to look into before going to bed...

Could you post a small example of how you use the Invoke method? I don't understand it. 
|
|
|
|
|
Suppose I have an event handler:
void OnWhatever(...) {
textBox.Text = "Very bad thing from a different thread context";
}I rewrote it like this:
void Invoke(Delegate del) {
Dispatcher.Invoke(System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Input, del);
}
void OnWhatever(...) {
Invoke(new Action( () => { textBox.Text = "This is safe from a different thread context"; } ));
}This'll make sure that the textbox's text property is only set on the GUI thread. If you're used to COM, it's like calling an STA object's method - it gets synchronized by the message pump.
I've tried to make this more generic, so that when you register the event handler (which you know will be called from a different thread), you register a chaining delegate handler which will automatically chain the event call through the dispatcher. I haven't had any success yet, as the last step in the invocation list always gives me an invalid parameter count exception. I have no idea why, and the debugger doesn't give me much else. 
Of course, I'm working with WPF. If you're working with Windows Forms, I think you'll have to take a look at Control.Invoke() or something like that, to dispatch the calls to the GUI thread.

I may be wrong, but only system services are prevented from being stopped. In other words, you cannot prevent your own service from being stopped.

I have been searching all over the place for a way to put a C# form beneath the desktop icons. I have tried using SetWindowPos and I can find the handle for the desktop icons using:
IntPtr hDesktopListView = IntPtr.Zero;
IntPtr hProgman = (IntPtr)FindWindow("Progman", null);
IntPtr hDesktop = IntPtr.Zero;
if (hProgman != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hDesktop = FindWindowEx(hProgman, IntPtr.Zero, "SHELLDLL_DefView", null);
if (hDesktop != IntPtr.Zero)
{
hDesktopListView = FindWindowEx(hDesktop, IntPtr.Zero, "SysListView32", null);
}
}
return hDesktopListView;
However, no matter what I do, I can't place a form beneath the desktop icons. Can someone tell me if this is even possible to do?

I've never heard of it being done (apart from when Windows had Active Desktop but that was about it).
I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

{<br />
public int vkCode;<br />
public int scanCode;<br />
public int flags;<br />
public int time;<br />
public int dwExtraInfo;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public int keyboardHook(int code, int wParam, ref keyboardHookStruct lParam)<br />
{<br />
if (code >= 0 && ( wParam == WM_KEYDOWN || wParam == WM_SYSKEYDOWN))<br />
{<br />
Keys key = (Keys)lParam.vkCode;<br />
<br />
KeyEventArgs keyEventArgs = new KeyEventArgs(key);<br />
<br />
char ch = Convert.ToChar(keyEventArgs.KeyValue + ' '));<br />
<br />
string Str = ch.ToString();<br />
<br />

I have an exercise:
Use C# to view structure of .mdb file (MS Access file). All the names of tables from file will be viewed in one listbox, all column-names (fields) of table, which is choiced from that list box, will be view in another listbox. And one checkbox will show if the field that we select from 2nd listbox is key or not.
This is the first time I work with mdb file in C#, please masters, help me to resolve this exercise.
This is code that I've tried to do:
<br />
string DBPath;<br />
OleDbConnection DBConnection;<br />
DataTable SchemaTable;<br />
DataColumn SchemaColumn;<br />
DataSet dbSet = new DataSet();<br />
<br />
(blah blah..)<br />
<br />
DBPath="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source = " + openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString();<br />
DBConnection = new OleDbConnection(DBPath);<br />
DBConnection.Open();<br />
SchemaTable = DBConnection.GetOleDbSchemaTable(OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new Object[] { null, null, null, "TABLE" });<br />
lstbox_tables.Items.Clear();<br />
for (int i = 0; i < SchemaTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{ lstbox_tables.Items.Add(SchemaTable.Rows[i].ItemArray[2].ToString());
}<br />
........something need to be added here from you..My code that was not correct is here:<br />
<br />
int table_index = lstbox_tables.SelectedIndex;
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
MessageBox.Show(number_of_columns.ToString());<br />
lstbox_fields.Items.Clear();<br />
for (int i = 0; i < number_of_columns; i++)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Do a search on CodeProject for keyboard hooks and hopefully that'll explain things.

I have installed IKVM to convert the Java library to be alble to be applied in .NET framework; Now I need to apply a piece of code to be able to connect the Protege(database) to run the query.
Thanks

Good Day,
In the past, when I want to compute for the hash of a certain file, what I do is I open it first then compute for the HASH like so:
byte[] myfile = File.ReadAllBytes(path);
SHA1CryptoServiceProvider SHA1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
Console.WriteLine(Convert.ToBase64String(SHA1.ComputeHash(myfile)));
In that code, you can see the presence of the File.ReadAllBytes reads the entire file.
Is there any other way to compute for the SHA-1 Hash of the file without actually opening it?
Thanks. 
It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

No, since the hash is merely an operation on a collection of data, which in this case happens to be the contents of the file.
