In VS2010 I'm encountering a PInvokeStackImbalance error when I call an unmanaged C function that takes a string argument. This only happens in VS2010 (works fine in earlier versions of vs). I know the MDA is more strict in VS2010 but I can't seem to figure out what the actual problem is.
[Code]...
I am testing this on Win 7 Ultimate and it generates an error: PInvokeStackImbalance was detected Message: A call to PInvoke function'WindowsApplication1!WindowsApplication1.Form1::GetProductInfo' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature.

I really need little help with unmanaged dll access from VB.NET, have been working on it about a week. I have a C++ .h files with headers. I have to access one function from the dll using VB.NET:
int
acsGetEventPoll (int acsHandle,
void FAR*eventBuf,
unsigned short FAR*eventBufSize);
Documentation says that eventBuf is a buffer where structure of type CSTAEvent_t is put after the function call. Type is defined as:

I'm reasonably familiar with the various forms of VB that existed prior to .NET (VB6, VBA, VBScript...), but have yet to delve into The Sweet New Flavor that is VB.NET.

View 1 RepliesTo the board: Lately I've been getting Runtime error 3447 ("The Jet VBA file (VBAJET.dll for 16-bit versions, or VBAJET32 for 32-bit versions) failed to initialize when called. Try reinstalling the application that returned the error") when attempting to open a certain program (not one that I designed, just downloaded and installed). I installed this program in January 2009, but this error began happening only this past July. someone else to information about the files vbajet32.dll and expsrv.dll. One site said that the problem was probably caused by the file expsrv.dll being absent, but I checked my System32 folder, and it's there. As far as I can tell, it has always been there (the computer was made in 2008, and as I said the program had always worked before). Vbajet32.dll is also there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but error 3447 still occurs. I also tried uninstalling the program and installing an older version, but 3447 is still there.
I tried replacing expsrv.dll, thinking it might have been corrupt, but that didn't help, and I cannot register that dll anyway. I can't figure this thing out. Both of the files are there, and I didn't change any settings or anything anywhere between last January and this July. By the way, I am on Vista.
I recently created a deployment project for my windows application in Visual Studio 2008, and have found that changing the "Remove Previous Versions" property to True does absolutely nothing. When clicking the installer, it will say a previous version is installed, then immediately quit.
View 2 RepliesI need to write a DLL in C that is used a plugin for an existing application.The DLL has to be compiled by the Visual Studio 2008 compiler with the following options.[code]It's then linked to applications library's.What it actually needs to do and what's causing me the issues is that within one of the methods it needs to pull data from a sql server 2008 r2. From what I've seen today you wouldn't be able to do this directly in C as SQL Server past 2005 is designed to communicate with CLR languages( C#, C++, VB.Net).It was suggested that I handle all the database communication with a VB.Net dll and then call said function from within the C dll. Most of what I've found on the topic of calling managed dll's from unmanaged code has talked about pinvoke or com wrappers and mainly from the perspective of c++.
View 2 RepliesI'm writing an Excel file recovery program with VB.Net that tries to be a convenient place to gather and access Microsoft's recommended methods. If your interested in my probably kludgy, error filled, and lacking enough cleanup code it's here: http:[url]..... The basic functionality seems to work although I haven't tested graph macro table recovery yet.
It occurred to me that Vista and Windows 7 users could benefit from being offered a list of previous versions of the file within my application if the Shadow Copy Service is on and there are previous copies. How do I do this?I looked at a lot of web pages but found no easy to crib code. One possibility I guess would be to use vssadmin via the shell but that is pretty cumbersome. I just want to display a dialogue box like the Previous Versions property sheet and allow users to pick one of the previous versions. I guess I could just display the previous version property sheet via the shell by programmatically invoking the context menu and the "Restore previous versions choice", however I also want to be able to offer the list for Vista Home Basic and Premium Users who don't have access to that tab even though apparently the previous versions still exist. Additionally if it possible I would like to offer XP users the same functionality although I'm pretty sure with XP only the System files are in the shadow copies.
I looked at MSDN on the Shadow Copy Service and went through all the pages, I also looked at AlphaVSS and AlphaFS and all the comments. I'm kind of guessing that I need to use AlphaVss and AlphFS and do the following?Find out the list of snapshots/restore points that exist on the computer.Mount those snapshots.Navigate in the mounted volumes to the Excel file the user wants to recover and make a list of those paths.With the list of paths handy, compare with some kind of diff program, the shadow copies of the files with the original.Pull out the youngest or oldest version (I don't think it matters) of those shadow copies that differ from the recovery target.List those versions of the files that are found to be different.This seems cumbersome and slow, but maybe is the fastest way to do things. I just need some confirmation that is the way to go now.
I am trying to use an unmanaged dll in my VBE2008 Project. My application works fine on my computers (3 Vista sp1 and 2 XP sp3 / all with .net framwork 3.5), but after the sp2 update for 2 of Vista machines, it throws often an AccessViolationException (on those machines with Vista sp2). The error message is:"Attempt to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."I have checked and found that the exception was thrown by the dll call-sub.

We have a VB.NET program that needs to periodically call a function in an external, unmanaged DLL to communicate with our legacy application. We are having a problem with the application (seemingly) randomly not being able to find the DLL with the unmanaged code. Currently we use DECLARE FUNCTION blah LIB for the unmanaged code. Would it be better/more reliable to use DllImportAttribute instead? Or am I missing something else?

View 2 RepliesIn my VB code behind the aspx is it possible for me to call a function based upon a click on a string format.e.g.
Sub testSub()
Do Nothing
End Sub

Then add my stringtoUse to my control. So that on my control I have two words Hello which when clicked goes to my hyperlink and World which when clicked calls my function/sub.
I understand that this is bad programming practice and redundant coding but I am curios.
I am simply counting a number up to 9999999 in a while loop. The Add() function simply increases that number and prints it out.
Inside the Add() Function I call the Add() function.
My program successfully prints out 12000ish numbers before I get a StackOverflow Exception.
So my question = Is there any way to ignore this error and keep counting?
I have tried On Error Resume, Try/Catch, and throw
My code is as follows.
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

so how do I call it from a Button.click event?
normally i would just do a "call main()" and it works however this time it is not because of the (byVal args() as string)

View 5 RepliesI'm having some trouble finding the syntax for making function calls to unmanaged DLLs in VB.NET. Let's just assume there's a function "Connected" in unmanaged DLL "Connector.DLL". I want to call this function by creating an abstract function call to it.

Public Shared Function Connect(ByVal intPort)

I have 3 group boxes on a form. Each group box contains a single Button and several RadioButtons - each RadioButton has an associated TextBox control. Changing RadioButton in a given GroupBox enables or disables the associated TextBox control in that GroupBox. There is also a RichTextBox on the form and the contents of the RichTextBox change depending on which GroupBox contains the active control.
I am trying to use the GroupBox_Enter event to cause the RichTextBox content to be updated. When the user uses a mouse click to move to a new GroupBox the RichTextBox changes as expected (desired) but if the user tabs from the last control in the prior GroupBox to the first control in the new GroupBox it doesn't, it gets stuck one GroupBox behind. This is the code:

Pass a string array from Visual Basic Express 2008 to unmanaged code in a Dll.The array is Dimmed as in DIM myArray(11) as String
I'm developing the dll myself using Powerbasic.
The dll expect a 4 bytes pointer to a safearray's handle. As far as I have understood it; the array's string elements must be passed in ANSI format. The code in the dll will then use OLE Api to get the LBound and Ubound of the array and the address of the first element in array.
