The ServiceController doesn't support the installation of services. You can use the AssemblyInstaller class, though, to load your assembly and run the installers in it. See the class documentation in the .NET Framework SDK for more information and an example of using it.

I am receiving ArgumentException: "Must specify value for source." But I specifying correct path to the assembly. What is the problem.
IDictionary mySavedState = new Hashtable();<br />
try<br />
{<br />
string[] commandLineOptions = new string[ 1 ] {"/LogFile=example.log"};<br />
System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller myAssemblyInstaller = new <br />
System.Configuration.Install.AssemblyInstaller( Application.ExecutablePath , commandLineOptions );<br />
myAssemblyInstaller.UseNewContext = true;<br />
myAssemblyInstaller.Install( mySavedState );<br />
myAssemblyInstaller.Commit( mySavedState );<br />
}<br />
catch (ArgumentException e)<br />
{<br />
string s = e.Message;<br />
}<br />
catch (Exception e)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine( e.Message );<br />
}<br />
This code calling from service project to install itself

I threw together a simple example using the following code and it worked fine:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Length > 0)
{
string[] rest = new string[args.Length - 1];
if (rest.Length > 0) args.CopyTo(rest, 1);
if (string.Compare(args[0], "/install", true) == 0)
{
Install(rest);
return;
}
else if (string.Compare(args[0], "/uninstall", true) == 0)
{
Uninstall(rest);
return;
}
}
ServiceBase.Run(new Service1());
}
static void Install(string[] args)
{
AssemblyInstaller installer = new AssemblyInstaller(
typeof(Service1).Assembly.Location, args);
IDictionary state = new Hashtable();
try
{
installer.UseNewContext = true;
installer.Install(state);
installer.Commit(state);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
installer.Rollback(state);
Console.Error.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}
static void Uninstall(string[] args)
{
AssemblyInstaller installer = new AssemblyInstaller(
typeof(Service1).Assembly.Location, args);
IDictionary state = new Hashtable();
try
{
installer.Uninstall(state);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.Error.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}While Application.Location should return the correct path, it puts a possibly unnecessary dependency on the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. If you don't need to reference that assembly, just use Assembly.Location instead (there's many ways to get the current assembly, I just got it from the Type).

Thank you,
I can see my mistakes now. But I have one more question: the code you write will install assembly as what? I cann't find service in Services applet with DisplayName of my service.
Regards

Make sure both the ServiceInstaller and ServiceProcessInstaller instances you've configured are added to your own Installer class derivative, which must be attributed with the RunInstallerAttribute with true in the constructor, otherwise the AssemblyInstaller won't know what class(es) are the installers and will do nothing of importance.

Hey,
I have a problem with C# DATAGRIDs. This is exactly what I am trying to do :
(Suppose)We have got a datagrid with 1 column (named customer, eg.). In the column cells the user is supposed to type customer codes which -let's say- are 8 characters long.
It would be interesting that whenever the user types in 8 characters in a cell that the corresponding customer's name will be displayed somewhere on the windows form..
Obviously, we need to define and use SOME EventHandler..
I tried to use a DataGridTableStyle with one DataGridTextBoxColumn, then I added this :
<code>DataGridTextBoxColumn nameColumnStyle = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
...
nameColumnStyle.TextBox.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(textBox_TextChanged);</code>
But it seems not to work!!
Even when I use this :
<code>...
nameColumnStyle.TextBox.Leave += new System.EventHandler(textBox_Leave);
...,</code>
the method textBox_Leave(..) is executed only once I click with the mouse on another cell, but never when I leave the cell using the left or down arrow for example!?
<b>I really need your help PLEASE!</b>

You didn't mention what didn't work, but this works fine for me:
private void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox tBox = (TextBox)sender;
if(tBox.Text.Length == 8)
Console.WriteLine(tBox.Text);
}

TextChanged is fired AFTER (hence the past-tense "Changed") the text is commited, not while it's being typed.
Handle the KeyDown event. Verify the length and cancel the event (set KeyEventArgs.Handled to true) if necessary.

Where do you get that idea from? GINA is for user identification and authentication. That screen where NT/2000 said "Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to logon" ... that's GINA...
Getting the Process list is easy. Look into "System.Process" class, here[^]. You'll need to import the System.Diagnostics namespace to use it.

i got idea, from task manager u get from GINA got me , okay....i want to get opened applications..i know code of Process but i dont want all running exe on computer as most of them are services..i just want only applications running...breifly, all appear in taskbar as opened..got it

The Task Manager isn't part of GINA. But, it can be launched by it...
You'd have tp do some detective work to fish out the services from the applications. All a service is is a windowless application that runs in the background under a different user and desktop.

thanks i did it
public static string[] Detect_Run_App()
{
int j=0;
Process[] processes=Process.GetProcesses();
for(int i=0; i

Told ya! 
All it takes is a little research...

Hi,
How to pass null to a ref bool or out bool parameter?
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
|
bool is a value type, therefore it cannot be null. bool is either true or false. There is no other state.
By the way, when using out, the variable must be assigned a value before the method returns. The value of your variable going in wouldn't matter because it will be assigned a value before you get it back. Passing null (even if you could) wouldn't have any affect.

There is some sourceForge project available that does implement just that. Nullable Value types.
http://nullabletypes.sourceforge.net/
I wouldn't recommend it (if it's supposed to be a boolean, check for a boolean)
|
|
|
|
|
FYI .NET 1.2, set to be beta'd this year and released next year, will utilize 1.2 generics feature for a Nullable value type, defined as Nullable<T>. This would allow you to pass a null value into a value parameter. See here[^] for more info.

It will be .NET 2.0, not 1.2. The file versions are only labeled as 1.2, just like the file versions for 1.1 are 1.1 but the assembly versions are still 1.0.5500.0. ".NET 2.0" is mentioned in many places on Microsoft et. al. sites.

Oh really? I didn't know that; I knew C# would be C# 2.0, but I was under the impression it was .NET 1.2.

Here's one current reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/productinfo/roadmap.aspx#2005[^].
I believed they used ".NET 1.2" for a while but that started changing a few months ago.
[EDIT] Oh, and rightly so. A LOT (as I'm sure you know) is changing between 1.1 and 2.0, unlikes the few changes between 1.0 and 1.1. It's still mostly backward compatible, but it includes a lot of bug fixes, performance enhancements, control adapters (new way to provide owner-drawing that's truly aweseom!), many new ASP.NET enhancements including some for WSS/SPS, and - of course - generics.

Try this:
void Foo(ref object boolean)
{
if (boolean == null)
else
{
bool value = (bool) boolean;
}

Hey all...ok, let me set things up...here is the prototype of the function i'm trying to use in an unmanaged dll within C#:
void myfunc(int a, int b, pvoid* output);
Ok, so the return here (output) will be a pointer to an array of pointers....within that array, each pointer is to point at the following structure:
struct MYSTRUCT{<br />
DWORD size,<br />
PWSTR aString,<br />
PWSTR anotherString<br />
} MYSTRUCT, *PMYSTRUCT;
I read on ms site that in order to handle the strings in the array, I need to define it as such:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]<br />
public struct MYSTRUCT<br />
{<br />
public uint size;<br />
public String aString;<br />
public String anotherString;<br />
public MYSTRUCT(uint size, String aString, String anotherString)<br />
{<br />
this.aString= aString;<br />
this.anotherString= anotherString;<br />
this.size= size;<br />
}<br />
}
Here is my imported function:
[DllImport("mydll.dll")]<br />
public static extern void myfunc(int a, int b, out MYSTRUCT[] output);
Now...this doesn't work, I don't even get returned the correct size of MYSTRUCT[]. I've tried quite a number of different variations as well. I've tried passing an array of IntPtr too, all to no avail. How does one deal with this? Do I need to get back the array of pointers and actually deal with the pointers themselves?
