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.
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 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 am trying to setup a call back (delegate) in my code for the DirectSound.Notify so I will be called when the sound buffer reaches a certain postion druing play back. My Code is the following:
'Set up call back Public Delegate Sub NotifyHandler() '..... Dim NotificationHandler As NotifyHandler
how to retrive the raw data of the image pointed by an intptr.The thing is the detector gives the pointer to the acquired image and I need to retrieve the image rawdata from the given intptr.
I'm trying to get the window of a game (jedi academy) I keep getting this error Cannot convert type 'integer' to system.intrptr This is were its underlined in blue DirectCast(Me.hWndGame, IntPtr),
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices Imports System Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
I need to explicitly convert my byte array into IntPtr to pass it to the third-party api. I've been looking through Runtime.InteropServices namespace but didn't find anything suitable.
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 got an app, which receives data via a R232 port, convert it to a string and on the other side I got a database, where the strings are saved. How can I find a way to compare the string with all strings in one database column and get back the another stringform the same row in this database. I never programmed a database
I have buttons generated through code (dynamically). I have to associate an event (the same) to them. 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? Using also an alternative to AddressOf.
EDIT:
Public Class Form1 ... Private Sub mysub(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs, ByVal str As String)[code]......
These is the content of my txt file which is saved in D drive in my pc abc,1,2,3..I tried the flowing but it didn't work:[code]I am getting error on this line.. data = line.Split(","c)...it says this line isn't in use anymore or something and that I rather use LineInput but thats asks for filenumber and i don't know what that is. I am sorry but I am a complete beginner. what else can I try? [code]ok that error is gone now but now if I want to add these values to a list box..how can i do that?
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?
