• Visual Basic Interfacing VB app with C++ plugin

  Hi, im working on a project which includes one Application (VB) and several Plugins (both C++ and VB). Now im trying to setup an interface between both sides, to make it possible for the host to call the plugin but also vice versa from plugin to host. Now have i tried some things, like using a Interface dll which should be implemented on both the host and plugin sides. This works well for a VB plugin, but cant get in to work on C++ (cast error). Does someone as an idea to fix this problem or to solve it in another way Tnx! ...Show All

• Visual Basic Closing an App by its process name.

  Hello,     I'm looking for a simple and effective code to add to a button for closing an application by it's process name.    If this is possible without having to play around with HWind I would be thankful for an example.    Ultimately, when the user hits the button, I would like every instance of that application to shut down.    This means scanning the process list for the number of open instances of that application. Unless there is a better way. Cheers and thanks. Private Sub KillAllProcessByName ( ByVal NameOfProcess As String ) ...Show All

• Visual C++ ::GetWindowLongPtr() and cast errors

  It seems that ::SetWindowLongPtr() and ::GetWindowLongPtr() are defined to just map to set/get window long in 32-bit windows. The problem with this is that, even though I use the correct casts and functions, I still get a warning from VC++ about possible loss of data (because I stuff a pointer into this field). Is there any way of writing code that calls ::SetWindowLongPtr() and ::GetWindowLongPtr() that doesn't issue this warning, without turning off the warning using command line options or #pragma warning You're probably gettings warnings because the casts won't work in 64-bit code.

• Visual C# Please help - How to get the Path of Executable of a Windows Service...

  Dear Experts, I would like to get the parameter "Path to Executable" of a Windows Service programmatically. As you know, we can use Service MMC snap-in (Control Panel --> Services) to adminstrate Windows Services. If you right click any one of the Windows Services and then choose Properties , you would see the Service snap-in. In the Service snap-in, there is an item called "Path to Executable" that shows you the original location of your Windows Service's executable. Now I would like to get this path programmatically. Could you please tell me how I can achieve that Many thanks for your help. :-) Tigger ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any opinions on the untyped-ness of xaml?

  I love xaml and I think it's super powerful. However, the whole system gets much of it's productivity by being untyped. Meaning, if I can bind to a 'path' that is found in a datacontext that I can set/change in the code-behind, no compiler will ever be able to help me figure out that I made a typo in the path. Actually, when I change a property name on the dataobject I'm binding to, goodluck finding all the references in xaml files. This seems like a step back (mind you, we get lots of power back ofcourse). Are there any thoughts on this Should we start binding in the codebehind instead of the xaml (ouch, that would lose mucho producti ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista end-user workflow design & compilation

  In WWF, you compile a workflow, which I believe calls the workflow compiler wfc.exe, and then calls the C# compiler, which outputs a .NET assembly. What I'm wondering is how this will work for end-user workflow design, where I have re-hosted the designer in my own app. Will this require me to output the workflow definition to a file on disk, call the workflow compiler, then generate a .NET assembly from that for a specific workflow Do I end up with potentially hundreds of compiled workflow assemblies in that case, if I have many workflows  Or can I do all this compilation in memory The idea of compiling a workflow seems somewhat s ...Show All
