• Software Development for Windows Vista changing process access levels/rights

  Hey, I'm trying to find some good information (articles, samples, whatever) on changing the access rights of a process. I believe the API methods include, OpenProcess, GetKernelObjectSecurity, GetSecurityDescriptorDacl, GetAclInformation, SetKernelObjectSecurity, etc. I am trying to disable some rights in a process like PROCESS_TERMINATE though I am having trouble finding some good information. Thanks all Luke Hey, I know you can use SubInAcl to see the rights of the process, but are you sure you can deny PROCESS_TERMINATE using it If so, can you show an example please Thanks ahead sternr@gm ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to create folders with separated folder names?

  Windows enables you to create a new folder and rename it with a separated name like 'Business contacts folder'. How does one create a folder and name it so in visual C++.net So far, I'm creating folders using system("mkdir <directoryname>"). Is there an alternate and more efficient to do this Please forgive me if it sounds amateurish. I'm still a novice programmer. Thanks! Found the answer! I used _mkdir() function instead of the system() variant. U'd have to include all std io first. Anyone with this problem can look up _mkdir() in the msdn library. Its under mkdir functions.

• Visual Studio Team System Work Item Type Diff between Import and Export

  It is interesting that when you use witimport to import a work item type and then export it using witexport that the files are different. This process fully qualifies field names and adds some fields as well. (<FIELD name="Authorized As" refname="System.AuthorizedAs" type="String" />) I can understand the purpose of adding the <HELPTEXT> sections, but why are additional fields being added Correct. This is a core field which present on every work item type - even if it is not defined in the XML. ...Show All

• .NET Development Inherit a class by a class that should be marchal be reference

  Hi! I think this is a simple question for those that have been working with remoting for some time. And somehow, I believe the answer will be simply 'NO' . Is it possible to have a class that is marshal by reference and also inherits another class, other than MarshalByRefObject I guess that if that other class inherits MarshalByRefObject, this would do the job. But what if that other class is not mine, let's say... a system class. For instance, can I have a class that inherits the Generic.Dictionary and be marshal by reference a the same time This would be a solution to some cases, where I have access to ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT works in .Net 1.1 but fails in .Net 2.0

  We have an application compiled with .Net 1.1.  It uses System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform.  the following code works with .Net 1.1 <xsl:copy-of select="$style/ap:OneImage"/> if $style is empty or if $style contains an element. Installing the .Net Framework 2.0 causes the expression to fail when $style is empty with the System.XML error "Expression must evaluate to a node-set".

• .NET Development How to run a standalone application independly from any DLL files

  I developed an application under Visual Studio C#. However, the EXE file was unable to run in a PC without .Net environment, which is short of those relevant .DLL files. Can I build up a C# application running independently from DLL files Hi, Since Windows 2003 was released. It was bundled with the .net framework (1.1). So I guess microsoft is now bundling its framework into the OS. So this wouldn't be a big issue on deploying .net apps...     cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with Runtime type check

  From the example below of what I am trying to do, I have a base class employee and two types of employees, sales and engineering. I create an array of each type of employee. I want to swap the base attributes of the employee when they change jobs. I get a runtime check : An ArrayTypeMismatchException exception is thrown when the system cannot convert the element to the type declared for the array. This may not be the best method of doing this work so I am open to other ideas I have thought about using one array, but I still think I will have problems. Oddly enough it does not have a problem with it if I don't put ref in front -- b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System I was connected...

  I have Team System installed on another computer. I was happily connected to my team foundation server. I tried to create a new project. I got the Microsoft.VisualStudio.ELead.Common.Exceptions.ELeadException which others have been receiving. The hint's on resolving that issue were to log in as TFSservice and try to create a project. I removed my server from the list. Now I cannot reconnect. When I restart VS, the team explorer shows that it is connecting, even though I have no servers listed. When it times out, I get a message box with the text Error in Application. I click OK. Attempt to add a server, none are in my list. I click Add..., t ...Show All

  I am trying to validate data entry in a control, however if the user clicks the ok button to close the form (form.minimise=false) , I get the validation check, but the form has already closed.

  The code wrote in VC++ 6 (no error when compile) but now I have to move them to the Visual Studio 2005 version and try to compile it again it give me the error ==> fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBC.lib'. Please help I'm still so new with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Are they so much differences. Thanks for your help in advance, Akiwa You need to change all calls to these functions to use the new, safe ones, or turn off the warning, as explained in that link. If you want your code to work in VC6 AND Vc2005 and call the new methods, you need to create a class that wraps this. If you just want to upgrade, you sho ...Show All
