I'm attempting to export emails the user has selected in outlook. I wrote this as a vb macro inside of Outlook, but get a message stating do you want to allow the process and then there is a drop down for 1 or 10 minutes to allow. Does anyone know how I can get around this and always allow.

Hi,
I've got some code thats unamanged/managed and have some callback handlers in it, linking some old .dll stuff.
I've searched for a while and I've read a bit on garbage collection and delegates and I've tried my best to apply the examples to my code, but to no avail. I still get either the following error message
"A callback was made on a garbage collected delegate of type 'WindowsApplication1!WindowsApplication1.MyConnectHandler::Invoke'. This may cause application crashes, corruption and data loss. When passing delegates to unmanaged code, they must be kept alive by the managed application until it is guaranteed that they will never be called."
or, no error message (and the call back excutes successfully) but it then trashes the other bits of code from working properly that are run from the same .dll
This is the code, I've cut out the surplus bits, it has no errors or warnings...... just doesn't work 
In this sample basically the user would select a comport from a drop down box and click connect. I know it actually connects as I can see status from the device its connecting to. However when the device tries to send the message back, it does one of the above errors.
Would greatly appreciate any help as I'm trying to implement this .dll to move away from an unstable module we are being forced to use at the moment.

Can I ask why you're try to pass data the hard way, instead of using .NET Remoting?

actually the request is sent by an AddIN to the application-software.
what i have to do is to pass an object from addins to software-app.
If you can solve this then good even if you can solve in remoting well i've got no probs.
-thanks

If you're writing both the software and the add-in's, Remoting is the best way to go!
If I'm sounding like I'm guessing what your trying to do, it's because I am. You haven't povided any detail about what your ultimate goal with this code is, besides transferring a pointer through a Window message. Why are you doing this? How does this little piece fit into the "grand scheme" of things?

i'm not using remoting coz i've a little time to accomplish this task. well, actully i dont know remoting.
Now about my "Grand Scheme", using this if any-how i can pass the object of the office-application to another application-sw, the work is done. One more thing, I have succesfully sent the structure to the "other end", but whenever Object comes in the picture an error occurs:-
An unhandled exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll
Now thats the problem. Well I'll do try with remoting but it'll take some time, which i dont have now.
-thanks buddy

I don't have a lot of time right now, so I can't put a project together to test what your doing. All I can suggest at this time is you might want to take a look at this: The Quick and Dirty Guide to .NET Remoting[^]

Hi all,
i am trying to make a client and server application (using sockets) that allow client to upload image files from client machine to server machine.
i am using file stream and network stream to do that.
but the new file always coruppted  .
here is my code:-
on client side:- it is a console application, in main function:-
Const portNo = 500
Const FILE_NAME = "c:\image1.tif"
Dim tcpClient As New System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient
tcpClient.Connect("Localhost", portNo)
Dim NWStream As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream
Dim numBytesRead As Integer
Dim bytesToSend(1024) As Byte
Dim fs As FileStream
fs = New FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.Open, _
FileAccess.Read)
Do While fs.ReadByte <= fs.Length
numBytesRead = fs.Read(bytesToSend, i, bytesToSend.Length)
NWStream.Write(bytesToSend, i, numBytesRead)
Loop
fs.Close()
Console.WriteLine("Sending ...")
Console.ReadLine()
tcpClient.Close()
on the server:- main function
Const portNo As Integer = 500
Dim listener As New TcpListener(CType(Dns.Resolve("Localhost").AddressList(0), IPAddress), portNo)
listener.Start()
Console.WriteLine("Listening...")
Dim tcpClient As TcpClient = listener.AcceptTcpClient()
Dim NWStream As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream
Dim buffer(1024) As Byte
Const FILE_NAME = "c:\image2.tif"
Dim fs As System.IO.FileStream
fs = New FileStream(FILE_NAME, FileMode.CreateNew, _
FileAccess.Write)
Do Until (NWStream.DataAvailable = False)
NWStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
Loop
fs.close()
tcpClient.Close()
listener.Stop()
Console.ReadLine()
may be code is not correct  !!! i am new to socket programming, so please help me ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) .
any comment will be very helpfull
thanks in advanced..

There are LOTS of problem with this code. The most obvious is that your compairing a byte read from the file to the length of the file! Why? By doing this, you're more than likely truncating your reading of the file, so that's a source of corruption.
Do While fs.ReadByte <= fs.Length
Now, you've read a byte from the file and didn't do anything with it, then you read more bytes into the buffer, ignoring the byte you already read and dropped(!). There's another source of corruption.
numBytesRead = fs.Read(bytesToSend, i, bytesToSend.Length)
Now, in your server code, you're indidscriminately writing blocks of 1024 bytes to your image file, completely ignoring who many bytes were actually read from the stream! You have to determine how many bytes were read from the stream so you can only write than many bytes to the file! Without that, especially at the end of the file, you'll be writing more than was actually sent to you. Another source of corruption...
Do Until (NWStream.DataAvailable = False)
' How many bytes were read here??
NWStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
' How many are you writing here??
fs.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
Loop

How i can devide two number in the same text field and return the result
the operation is 30/20 this is in the textbox1 then i need the result 1.5
Amarni

|
|
|

you'll have to split the string first using some form of delimiter (an operator perhaps), parse them, perform the calculation and then return the result.
|
|
|
|
|
i know that.. but how could i use this way ??????
and id the user make an error like this 30//10 or 30/10/
so what is the solution for this problem

Try to split the text then call divide function.
Dim num() As String = txtInput.Text.Split(CChar(vbTab))<br />
'//Throw number to function<br />
Divide(num(0), num(1))
Hope this help.
