We recently upgraded our job server to Windows Server 2008. We have jobs we run manually in a folder (c:Custom Programs). Some programs are console programs others are have a gui. This one program has a gui.It also has a progress bar that shows the progress of the job when you click the go button. Of course it spawns a thread to do the processing. This thread creates a log file to write errors and other things too.
The problem is when the program goes to create the log file an access not authorized error is thrown. I checked the permission on the folder. All users are allowed to create/edit/append/execute. Pretty much everything except take ownership. Also, there's nothing that denies anything. So I see no reason why this isn't working. We can get this to work by using the run as administrator option when we first run the program. However, we don't view this as unacceptable solution. My only thought is the spawned thread isn't getting the same permission set as the program. Am I correct or does something think it's something else.

I need to search a term in pdf file to get font of all occurrences of the term with its corresponding font information and next 5 words of each occurrence.
View 3 RepliesOk server is Windows Server 2008 R2. I've already installed other 32 bit applications. I had my own application compiled as ANY CPU, I just copied the folder containing my executable and DLL files to the server. Doing it this way is fine on Windows 2003 Server and other 32 bit operating systems. I registered the DLL files by using regsvr32. When I ran the file, it would come up with an invalid exception error. I compiled it as x86 and tried it again and it crashed immediately without any errors.
So I have VS 2005, application compiled as x86 - what do I do to get it running in Windows Server 2008 R2?Also as a side line, I didn't know that the server was 64bit to start with so I installed 32bit MySQL - should I remove and install 64bit?
I have a utility that is a simple exe that is not installed compiled with VS2005 and works well. But when I upgraded to VS2008 the utility can no longer locate files in the active system folder. I have UAC turned off and am logged in as the Administrator and it still can not locate a file that I can see in Windows Explorer. The file I am looking for is PakMgr.exe.
View 1 RepliesI upgraded my project to VB 2008 and in the designing window, everything looks new and updated. When I run the program, however, it appears to look the same old way it looked in the old VB I upgraded it from. Is there something I can do to make it appear the new way during run time?
View 6 RepliesWhy upgrading my project from 05 to 08 would stop it from working on any new computer. It will install fine on my computer and users that currently have it installed. I assume it's the crystal prereq issues. It always fails with crystal errors now on install. The prereq's are checked in the properties.
View 1 RepliesAfter upgrading my solution with both c# and vb.net projects I have encountered some problems:
1. When for example writing Public Property MaxDate As Date and pressing enter it does not create the Get/Set values
2. Refactoring is not available
3. The properties window is blank when viewing classes (normally I would see Serializable and COM properties to the right)Intellisense works and the above problems work in new projects.
I have a VB.NET solution, just upgraded from 3.5 to 4.0. One of the classes has a private field:
Private _Projection As ICalculatedPath.At runtime, any time the class containing that field accesses that field, I get a FieldAccessException. The first time that field happens to get accessed is a null check in a method, and one of the things I randomly tried is changing the above line to:
Private _Projection As ICalculatedPath = Nothing.When I do this, I get the FieldAccessException on that line saying that the class's .ctor() cannot access that field. I've also tried making the field protected and public, clean/rebuild solution, restarting VS, targeting x86 and .NET 4.0 specifically on every project in the solution, and other non-sensical measures to get rid of this Exception but to no avail. This code worked fine before the upgrade, of course.
I recently upgraded to Crystal Reports 2008 for the barcoding functionality. When we use the barcode in the report designer, it renders as expected, so we installed the Crystal Reports 2008 redistributable package on our dev server to test deployment, but we receive the error message listed below. I cannot locate any information about this issue on the business objects site, or azaleas site, or any info regarding deployment of barcoding functionality.

Is there a way to get the IntelliSense for a lack of better term to work like it does for C#? For example, lets say I want to add a MessageBox to my form. With C# as soon as I get around Mess it's already coming up with the rest of the word, and the same with variables and control names. Just wondering if I'm missing a setting or something some place or if this is just another example of how things are different between the enviroments. Using Visual Studio 2005.

View 9 RepliesI have a textbox with button wired up to a queryextender. My goal is that someone might enter into the textbox a name (e.g. "Dave Mackey") and receive back all relevant results. The problem is that this information is spread across two columns in the underlying database (e.g. FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME). My code looks like this:
<asp:QueryExtender ID="QueryExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="EntityDataSource1" >
<asp:SearchExpression DataFields="first_name,last_name" SearchType="Contains">
[Code]....
If I enter "Mackey" it returns results, but "Dave Mackey" returns no results, I'm assuming b/c it is looking for the entire value in one first (either, but not both together), whereas I want it to return any rows where it finds the entirety even if it is spread across multiple DataFields.

View 12 RepliesUsually i just use a dictionay for key value pairs but I am expectig three columns.
then I need to compare the search term to see if it matches any value in the second column.
I'm trying to create an application that will allow me to type a search term, corresponding to any field contained in a database, and have the results displayed in a datagrid view. The idea is that the application will display any records that have the search term in any of the fields, rather than just allowing the user to search based on one field only.
I keep getting an error on the dataAdapter.Fill(dt) line. I've tried reorganising lines of code just in case my logic was wrong, but the result is the same. The program just crashes when it reaches this line.

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.
If I put this piece of code in a new fresh vb.net form, add a button and two labels and start debug I get execution time of about 11.5s.If I put the same piece of code in a new form in an old project upgraded from an earlier version of vb.net, start debug I get an execution time of 7.5s.So I do exactly the same in the two projects but get different execution times.
What do I have to do with the fresh new project to get the same execution time ?I am not interested in improving the code to be able to calculate primes faster. I just want to know what is the significant difference between an old upgraded project and a new fresh one. I am using windows 7 64bit on a 2,4 Ghz Intel quadcore.

I want to disable column in datagridview so the column will not receive focus,

I'm using the following code to iterate through and find windows containing specific strings in their title bars. I have two projects containing this identical information, yet for some reason - it works when targeted to x64, but FindWindowLike returns 0 always on x86. I need this to run in x86.I am developing this on Windows 7 x64, but it needs to run on my machine as well as XPx32. What I can't fathom is why it compiles/runs on x64 but not x32 (considering I'm targetting user*32*.dll)
