Get A String From An IntPtr From A WPARAM?
May 27, 2009
i am using SendMessage to send a message with a LPTSTR in WPARAM from a dll to my vb.net form and i get it by overriding WndProc but the problem is when using Marshal.PtrToStringAuto on the WPARAM it doesn't work, the strange thing is that if i monitor WM_SETTEXT of the form and use PtrToStringAuto to get the string from LPARAM it works, i guess mine doesn't work that's because the dll is loaded by other application.
C++ DLL Proc
Code:
LRESULT CALLBACK CallWndProc(int nCode,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam)
{

The System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.Impersonate function takes a System.intptr parameter, which seems awfully useless in my situation (with my limited understanding). I am developing an intranet application that uses integrated security to authorize users page-by-page against a role associated with their Windows Identity. I have no passwords or anything of the sort. Simply a Windows username. For testing purposes, how could I possibly impersonate a Windows user based on their username? The "impersonate" method jumped out at me as obvious, but it takes an unexpected parameter.

I see everywhere people use IntPtr, is there any reason I should use UIntPtr, instead?

I have a function that I need to pass data to but the only type of data the function is allowed to accept as a parameter is IntPtr (yep you guessed it, Windows APIs). Would I be able to actually pass anything useful to it? In the case I'm looking at right now it would be a List(Of T) that I need to pass to the function? At the moment I'm resorting to just using a class level object that both the calling method and the function that accepts IntPtr can access, but I would like to negate the need for this if possible.

This sounds like a silly question, and it may not even be possible, but say I have a MemoryStream in my code. Is it possible to get the IntPtr of said MemoryStream?

The idea with System.IntPtr is to represent an integer whose width in bits correspond to the size of a pointer in the hardware and operating system that the CLR is running in, it's platform specific in other words. It supports 32-bit and 64-bit architectures only.This is a legacy from old-style C API's where pointers and ints were frequently treated as interchangeable. The Win32 API has many such parameters, where the width varies with the underlying architecture thus the mess with porting of code from 32-bit to 64-bit (we already did this once when going from 16-bit to 32-bit, funny how we never learn...).In practice, as is mentioned in other responses, it can be used to hold unmanaged resource handles and pointers etc that stem from the underlying Win32 functions. It can also be used to hold integers of the natural size for current platform. You can also use IntPtr.Size to dtermine the size of a pointer on the current platform.SO when you explain this to a child ;) this would be used to let program's flow at the same speed at diffrent kinds of operating systems?

i need to save an array of intptrs as a part of a structure in a file, vb.net gives me "File I/O of a structure with field 'pList' of type 'IntPtr' is not valid." error, ok i figured and tried to convert them to integers and while it worked for other singular intptrs it did not for the array as it just throws me a conversion error. I then tried rebuilding the array in the new sub of the save structure and while that sorta worked(i think) it then gives a "bad size" error when saving. Im out of ideas, saving the array elements one by one would be suicide as the amount varies and is well in hundreds,

We're in a strange situation with a legacy winforms VB.NET 1.1 application using ASMX web services. Trying to send a user Token from a WindowsIdentity object as a parameter to a WebMethod. I will be adding a 'HACK: comment. System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Token
The token is of type IntPtr, the first problem is the WSDL being generated doesn't support IntPtr with the error of 'unsupported type'I'm aware this is a big WTF question and sounds insecure, so any simple helpful alternatives are welcome but there are a lot of constraints on how we can change this system, including complications with the hosting environment. So I would just like to get our piece of data over to the web service to save a lot of other headaches.

I want the Function to accept List(Of String), Array & String and similarly return List(Of String), Array & String respectively. The Function simply adds a string (month) to the input collection. I just want to use it for string, array and list with needing to think of conversions.

Basically I have a webresponse stream:dim lol as string = readstream.tostring there is a lot of information within the string but only one link starting with http: located near the end of the string - however there is no constant character point where I can start... (i.e. 38)
I want to extract the link from the string i.e. dog cat plane car [URL]..that is approximately how it looks above - words and url substituted I want to just extract [URL]..I had an idea of parsing the string from http: to the end Then after that splitting the string up again to remove the }], however it does not return anything

I use AddHandler button.click, AddressOf mysub.The issue is that mysub gets a string (mysub(string)), but AddressOf doesn't accept a parameter inside the routine. How can I do this?

I have a field that I display via: String.Format({0:c},amount) This produces the string "$28.28" However, when I try to convert back to a decimal amount, I get an incorrect format exception: amount = Decimal.Parse(amount.Text, NumberStyles.Currency) I also tried it with NumberStyles.AllowCurrencySymbol with the same results. I verified that the value in amount.Text is "$28.28". Am I missing something? Shouldn't these two operations use the same currency symbol and formats?

I Ported this code from a code project article in c# called Nscript
heres the code
Base App
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Resources
[code]....
Okay Now I only get two errors (I dont know how to solve them)
Error3Class 'BaseApp' must implement 'Sub OnCompilerError(errors() As CompilerError)' for interface 'IScriptManagerCallback'.
And
Error4Class 'ScriptManager' must implement 'Sub CompileAndExecuteFile(file As String, args() As String, callback As IScriptManagerCallback)' for interface 'IScriptManager'.
But What I would also Like to know (as well as how to fix the errors), is would the code work?

I need a regular expression that can validate that a string is an alphanumeric comma delimited string.
Examples:
123, 4A67, GGG, 767 would be valid.
12333, 78787&*, GH778 would be invalid
fghkjhfdg8797< would be invalid
This is what I have so far, but isn't quite right: ^(?=.*[a-zA-Z0-9][,]).*$
