• .NET Development Reflection or CAS trouble

  I have built an ASP.Net 1.1 application that utilizes reflection to load "Plugins" at runtime. The code works if you are a local administrator to the web server, but fails for anyone else. The part where it's failing is somewhere in the method that loads the assemblies. I have tried loading the assemblies in 3 different ways now and continue to get an error when it's not an administrator. I'm guessing that the problem lies within permissions or CAS, but I can find where. CAn anyone point me in the right direction Here is a snippet from the method: private void LoadPlugins() { ad = AppDomain.CreateDomain("libLoad ...Show All

• Visual C# Why can't I recast a generic list?

  I don't know if I am looking at this problem in a completely wrong way but I have the code listed below and would like to treat a generic list sometimes as List<Swatch> and sometimes as List<ColorSwatch>. I have many other types of swatches too - so I don't want to have to duplicate the common code. When I try and build the code I get errors telling me I cannot convert from type List<Swatch> to List<ColorSwatch> or vice-versa - the code in red. I have other routines which call the ColorSwatchFile read/write routines and want to receive the more specific ColorSwatch. Also if I were to pass down Swatch to the write r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System windows sharepoint services error

  windows sharepoint services error " cannot create folder "_vti_pvt" wat doest it mean and how to slove this error Okay... so there are number of things that made me question what is going on here.  First, SPS is different from WSS.  Sharepoint Portal Service isn't supported.  I assume you mistyped that in the post above. Second, Team Foundation server should extend WSS for you.  You won't need to extend either the admin site or the default site.  You must however install with the Server Farm option Third, we are not sure about any questions on Sharepoint Portal Servic ...Show All

• Visual C# Compiling a native C DLL for use in VC# using DllImport

  Hi Group! I'm a C# newbie (real wet and raw) as well as a complete newbie to Microsoft OS programming. Normally I use native 'C' on Posix complient platforms - which I've been doing for many decades. Scruitinsed this BB for an answer but can't find anything close.
