Hi all,
I have a program that contains a Server and a Client app.
I want my server app to this:
When I installed my server app it would automatically install the client app
on the all computers in the network.
I mean:
Installing a file on a computer in a network without having a client program!
It's very important,
Cheers,
Thanks,
MILAD.

So the server will contain the client app, and will farm it out to all clients on it's network ? Sounds very viral to me. Can you be sure that your server will have the right to perform this action on all clients ? The easiest way would be to copy an installer onto the client machine, and put it's path in the runonce registry key so it installs on the next startup.

Yes I want to do this.

No , of course not.My program Is a Network Manager that manages the local network.

I believe the CopyFile APIs will take network paths.

Hi and thanks for your reply,
I don't want to use this code for a Virus or something like that,
I want ir for my program that called Network Manager and I want this program to
Install the client program Automatically on other computers,
Please help me on this,
Very Importent,
Thanks,

If you have administrative rights on the machines in the network, you can copy files to them using their administrative shares. If the machine name is "MachineX", for example, the C: drive on that machine may be accessed using "\\MachineX\C$". Note that the administrative shares aren't normally visible in Windows Explorer. This lets you copy an application to each machine in the network. This lets the server put the client application (or at least an installer for it) onto each client.
The other part of the problem is getting each client to run the client application or the installer. There are several possibilities here.
1. You can access the client machine's registry remotely. Use the RegConnectRegistry function to connect to the client's registry, and then create a 'RunOnce' key that will run your application/installer on the next restart. You could conceivably even force the client machine to restart using the InitiateSystemShutdown function.
2. You can use the task scheduler service to create a job on the client machine. The job would run the application.
3. Create your own service that runs the application. Your server can install, start, and stop the service using the service control manager functions.

Hi, for the configuration setting of my application (where i store them all in a global object), i let the user change the setting through a tree property page.
however, i am facing some problem with the UpdateData. This is because UpdateData actually first save, then validate the data. However, this behavior is a bit dangerous for my case.
I associate my configuaration setting directly to the controls of the property page.
Assume
1. User enter invalid data.
2. User click apply.
3. UpdateData called. A warning box come out to tell the user that the value is not valid.
4. User re-enter valid data.
5. User click apply.
6. Everything just work fine 
However, problem comes here.
1. User enter invalid data.
2. User click apply.
3. UpdateData called. A warning box come out to tell the user that the value is not valid.
4. User immediately close the property page dialog box. 
This time, the invalid data had been written to the global object although user had once be warned about the invalid data.
Is there any way I can first validate the control data, before the control data written in the variable?
Thank you very much!

I'd have assumed for starters that your dialog close method would only work if valid data was entered. The way I'd handle this is, if the data is not valid, change the focus to the textbox that is invalid, and check validity when the textbox loses focus.

The problem is, the user still can close the dialog by the X button or escape key. Look like I should have a trap in closing message handler......

Yes.
A typical DoDataExchange is a bunch of DDX_??? and DDV_??? calls.
If you place an if block ahead of all these and check pDX->m_bSaveAndValidate to be true, you can do any checking you want to prior to the 'collection' of the data from the control's back into your member variables. If you don't like something, then you can call pDX->Fail()
The UpdateData is not supposed to be called if the user 'cancels' the dialog box, but it will be called if they press OK. You can then handle the validation in the DoDataExchange. If the DoDataExchange fails, then the dialog will not exit with the OK button.
You can also write your own DDV_ routines and then use them within your project. I have written all sorts of different ones to verify files exist, folders exist, numbers within a certain range, strings don't contains certain characters, etc. They work great. Just use the ones within the MFC source code as a starting point to guide you on creating your own.

I write a class by C++, in this class use string. For exsample:
#include "string"
using namespace std;
int exsample{}
{
string strTest;
......
}
I compile by Visual C++.NET. I get a lot of errors:

Best guess - your code is not standards compliant, but VC6 allowed it, in error. You're saying all you need to do is include the string class and these errors occur ?
EDIT
Apparently, if your file is named .c, instead of .cpp, you can get this error because the compiler will assume it's c and not C++.
/EDIT
EDIT3
#include "string" is wrong. It's #include<string>

Thank for your reply!
My file is name .cpp, but it write flowing C standard. It run very best with Visual C++6. But when I convert to Visual C++.NET (open file .dsp by Visual C++.NET), I get a lot of errors:
I think so it errors at:
#include<string>
using namespace std;
I don't understand why?
Have you any idea for this problem?
My file
#include<stdio.h>
#include<malloc.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
#include "utility.h"
typedef unsigned char u_char;
#define for if ( 0 ) ; else for
int bmp_flag;
int encode( )
{
string data;
..............
}

Why ? You should NEVER malloc in a C++ program without good reason.

These are deprecated

You've just pulled ALL of std:: into the global namespace. Although it's generally better to only pull in what you need, in this case it is moot. string.h would include string as a class, and string is now conflicting with it. Get rid of the non standard header ( and replace the others with standard ones by dropping the .h ) and see how you go.
SAKURAVN wrote:

BYTE is a typedef for unsigned char. unsigned by itself also defaults to unsigned char, I believe.

If I ignore //#include<string>
//using namespace std;
It not errors.
I don't write by C standard very much, I can not understand.
Can you advise me the way fix it.

Sure, no worries.
Basically, before there was a C++ standard, classes like string.h and iostream.h contained what existed of what eventually became the standard library. When the standard was ratified, the new headers were named without the .h. These new headers wrap everything in a namespace, called std. So, by including string.h AND string, you include two classes with the same name. If you used std::string everywhere and got rid of the using statement, you could do this. Otherwise, you have two classes of the same name trying to co-exist in the global namespace. Drop all references to string.h, replace them with string. So, reverse what you did above to make your code compile. The .h headers are deprecated, which means that in theory they could disappear one day, because they are not standard. Do the same with math.h and iostream, if you use it. Basically, anything in <>, try dropping the .h to see if it's deprecated.
Now, moving on, why do you include malloc.h ?

Sorry! I don't use malloc.h
if in .cpp file oly have #include <string>
using namespace std;
It still errors:
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\XUTILITY(862) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '<'
c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\include\XUTILITY(935) : see reference to class template instantiation 'std::istreambuf_iterator<_Elem,_Traits>' being compiled

Then you must have other cpp files that include the wrong thing. If I create a project that includes the right headers, it's not a problem. When I try to use the right headers on legacy projects I inherit, I get this same issue, and it's because someone else has written crappy code elsewhere in the system. You need to search for string.h throughout the project, and correct it every time.
Personally, I tend to include standard libraries in the stdafx and put the using statements I need in my cpp files.
