How to pass an array of objects from C# WebService to a VC++ COM object

sara_venusir24-Jul-09 22:21

24-Jul-09 22:21

I write a COM class in VC++ that is used in a .Net WebService as a refrence.

The COM object has an interface that simulates an IDispatch array to pass arrays of different objects to/from COM object.

I can pass that array to COM object in C# samples correctly, but when i pass it in C# webservice i get exception.

Can enyone help me?
Is there any limitation for WebServices in using COM objects

Hi all,

please tell me how can i get details of CPU and Memory usage that is used by my application.

please help me for ths.

thanks in advance.

See GetProcessTimes()[^]

What memory usage? The working set? If yes, then see GetProcessWorkingSetSize()[^].

I want to get information same like Window Task Manager display.

like My exe name is Test.exe

so in Processes Tab of Window Task Manager display the information like this.

read(fd,buf,1) is so common that I do not need to explain its arguments.

Where can I find the source code for it?

read is a really common function you are correct so common we cant really determine what platform your on?!?!

i am guessing linux from unistd.h ??? if this is the case then you should have it on the machine already, in one of those ddep dark corners of the system.

Yes, Linux, C applications. I'm not looking for the header, I'm looking for the source code of the function.

Thanks.

im saying that the .c file is on your PC...

i think that read just passes params down to syscall() if that helps

FindFirstChangeNotification() results in "The network BIOS command limit has been reached."

My MFC application needs to monitor a directory on a network disk (mapped as Z Smile | :)

, and I'm using FindFirstChangeNotification() to do this. However, I am getting an INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE returned, and GetLastError() return 56 (which appears to be "The network BIOS command limit has been reached."
If I change the path of the monitored folder to a local drive, it works fine. How do I get over this problem ? (MSVC 6.0 - Win2000) (All the results from a Google search only seem to refer to a server situation)

Here is the code in my worker thread, as requested:-

so i think because your polling the call FindFirstChangeNotification() in an infinite loop it cries

might try adding a lil timer to the thread and put the contents of the do{}while(1) in the thread OnTimer event setting the polling interval to be something sensible

But the loop gets suspended at WaitOnMultipleObjects() after the very FIRST invocation of FindFirstChangeNotification(). (The whole reason for using this approach is to get away from a polling mechanism which introduces a delay) As I said originally, the code works fine when the target is a local disk - something to do with network, and I don't know how to fix it !!)

i am thinking that WaitOnMultipleObjects()doesnt "wait" that long (assumption about to make an ass of me) try printing out a gettickcount() or something in the do loop and see if that is the case.

and yes assupmtion has made an ass of me once again

Hi Killabyte, Actually, I'm getting the problem single-stepping in the debugger, so the loop isn't executing as such. Also the WaitOnMultipleObjects() has an INFINITE timeout. I don't quite know how FindFirstChangeNotification() is implemented, but presumably the problem resides in the firmware of the network disk controller - have logged on to it, but can't see any parameters in the SMB server that I can tweak. Or am I missing something here ?

Hi again, I had seen <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]</a>[<a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810886[^]" target="_blank" title="New Window">^</a>] already - it only seems (unless I have missed something) to address the situation where the FindFirstChangeNotification() is aimed at a SERVER and then you can edit it's registry accordingly. In this case, the target is a network disk and that is why I logged on to it to see what parameters were available for tweaking - basically none !) I'd be surprised if I'm the first person to hit such a problem !

P.S. I clearly don't know how to insert a link (copied from a previous posting) in a new posting !!

oh crap. so your saying that there is no registry edit applicable on your target network disk?

i would have thought that if there is no "server" so to speak of then the client side registry would be altered? but then again who said logic plays a part in software development haha

Hi Killabyte, Yes !! When you logon to 192.168.1.9 using a browser, the facilities provided are minimal. Don't forget that the whole thing is implemented in firmware !! Basically, I'm beginning to think that I'm at it's mercy, and I'm stuffed !!! (Will have to stick with my old polling mechanism after all ... unless someone knows different ...... !

Hi,

a quick look at the code shows that the handle will not be closed.

From MSDN:
When the handle is no longer needed, it can be closed by using the FindCloseChangeNotification function.

So I guess the error will show up after the loop has been executed a few times?

Regards

I got the same problem as you have, but never found a solution. Thaught then that it was because i use Linux with Samba as the networkserver.
