• Visual C# System.Management.ManagementException: Invalid Class

  During one of my applications running I try and find the volume number of the local hard drive using WMI. Here is my code: ManagementObject disk = new ManagementObject("win32_logicaldisk.deviceid=\"C:\""); //Error happens here disk.Get(); It only happens on 1 machine running Windows 2000. I can't get it to break any place else. Just a minor update: The person that had this happen uninstalled the application, removed the database, and then reinstalled the application and that fixed it. I am not sure why but I guess I can use that as a solution. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista RegKeyOpeneEx constantly fails with error code 2, even though key exists!

  Hey folks, my writeGeneralRegistry() function works great, but the readGeneralRegistry() fails miserably. It fails with error code 2 "reg key can't be found"... but when I booted up regedit, I can clearly see the key value, and it changes on every call to writeGeneralRegistry(). Any ideas PS: if anyone knows how to format code properly when you post a question, that would be ultra helpful. int main(){ testReg = 1020; cout << "test reg is : " << testReg; writeGeneralRegistry(); readGeneralRegistry(); cout << "test reg is now : " << testReg; pauseNow(); } void readGene ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to intercept click on icon decorator

  I have compartment shape with IconShape decorator on it and I want to provide some action with click on icon. Does anyone know how to do it Thanks, Alexey Hi, It's currently quite difficult to pick up clicks on the decorators - sorry! -- [June 06 -- no longer true, you can now pick up clicks on decorators.

  Good day, I apologize if this question has been asked before, but is there any way to display the name of the Data Source in the body of a report.  One solution to fetch the server my data is coming from is to create a new dataset with the query SELECT @@SERVERNAME as [Server Name] but it would be nice to know the Data Source being used as well.  Transparency is a big deal and this would be nice.
