• Visual C# IL DASM fails with C# express

  1. I have a copy of ildasm 1.0 from 2001. How do I download a newer edition v 1.0 cant find it's own help file when i try to open a file in a folder other than ildasm's home directory. 2. When I build, then try to open, say, ConsoleApplication1.exe, i receive the ildasm error dialog: 'failed to open meta data'. What is it looking for, and how do I provide it I would highly, I repeat, highly recommend downloading Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector. It does everything that ILDASM does, plus displays source in C#, VB, and Delphi, in addition to MSIL. You get hyperlinking of methods so you can easily explore assemblies. There are also various ad ...Show All

• Windows Forms Storage of what the WebBrowser Control is displaying.

    I'm using the WebBrowser as a WYSIWYG editor. I want to be able to cut and paste text and graphics material into it, which I can do. I also want to be able to store what the control is displaying in an Access database. I am confronted by a couple of problems. 1.) The DocumentText property gives me a pure htlm representation including URLs for images. This isn't what I want. What I want is to be able to store a local representation of what the browser is showing.  When the control is displaying a page, if I interrogate webrowser.documentStream, the stream I receive is 30 bytes in length as opposed to the 3018 byte ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can STL vector cross DLL boundary?

  Can I have the following method in a DLL and call it from a Client, like this // DLL file void DllFunction (std::vector<int> &B) { B.push_back(1); } ---------------------- // Client file void SomeFunction () { std::vector<int> A; DllFunction(A); } When I try to do this I get a runtime error in _CrtIsValidHeapPointer (dbgheap.c) when SomeFunction returns. I figured the problem is that the DLL allocates the memory and the Client is trying to free it and that's bad. So, what do people do when they want to pass an STL vector as a reference parameter to a DLL Cannot such a basic thing be done I've m ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems setting up data in the Application Data directory

  I have an application that I have written in C# 2.0 that I would like to deploy using a Setup and Deployment Project. The application uses data stored in a SQL 2005 .mdf file that I install along with it. Currently, I have the .mdf file installing into the Program Files\Application directory, which works fine for an administrator. What I would like to do is install the data into the User's Application Data folder, or, if they select All Users, into the All Users Application Data Folder.

• Visual Basic Click-Once is not so simple...

  ok, here's the problem: i'm using VB.NET 2005 beta 2 all working nicely. i've made an app, debugged it and it runs all nice from the normal exe. but when i went to publish it, it seemed to work all fine until the installation page opened. i try to launch it but it says the "application is improperly formatted". clearly it isn't because i have run the bin exe many times. now, not only does the publishing not work, but when i go back to run the normal bin exe i get another error, once which has never appreared before! it compiles fine, BUT i receive an error saying that the project can't be run: "application configuration is incorrect". s ...Show All
