Problem using RSAPKCS1SignatureFormatter in Framework 1.1 - .NET (Core and Framework) Discussion Boards

Thank you very much for the response.

Is it correct to say that native clients(in above experiment: C++ exe) can not directly receive notifications from a Remoting Server (in above experiment: SAO)?

If this is correct to say, then always a managed Adapter(wrapper) needs to be written to receive notifications from a remoting server so as to relay them to native clients?

I did not understand how Remoting Server can lose instances of Sink objects created/existing in the Native exe over heap. Can you please give a pointer on this topic to any book/MSDN article that explains a little detailed?

Thanks again & Best Regards,

Yes, because remoting only works across clients written in .NET.

Your remoting server didn't lose instances of native objects, it destroyed your managed wrappers because their lifetime expired.
This[^] might help. The "Advanced .NET Remoting" book by Ingo Rammer might also help.

Hello,

I'm facing an interesting problem. I'm developping a .NET C++ DLL which mainly exposes a __gc class that the user can instantiate in its application. He can create many instances if he likes to.

I would like to refresh every instances of the class when this DLL gets a message queued by a C driver.
I would also like that any instance of the class that is no more used by the user is GC'ed.

The problem is that listening to the C driver messages prevents the garbage collector to remove the unused classes.

I tried to use delegates, static events, WIN32 events.

I think that I could succeed if I reference the instances of the classes in an unmanaged code, which will be in charge of listening to the messages. Is it the right way?

Everything's OK with the references.

I am writing a C# app which accesses the list of processes using Process.GetProcesses(). However I was very puzzled when I studied the Process class to discover that it has no method or property pertaining to the user that is running the process. Surely, under XP at least, all processes must have an associated user. Certainly Task Manager lists the user with each processes. Can anyone tell me how, having got the Process object, I then find out which user it is running under?

If you know the Win32 API function to retrieve that information, you can always P/Invoke it and pass theHandle[^] property as the HANDLE parameter.

Well, if that's the only way . . .
Actually I don't know the API call either - anybody help?

Hi,
I have to generate message digest using SHA1 algorithm to produce 160 bit number. Then message digest is encrypted with signer's private key(using RSA ECB and PKCS#1 v1.5 padding) and convert to printable hex format.

For the above specification i have tried the following code, I am getting Invalid PKCS#1 padding: no leading zero error (java.security.SignatureException, javax.crypto.BadPaddingException Smile | :)

on the receiver end. They are using Java interface to handle these messages.

Is there any other method to create ECB and PKCS#1 v1.5 padding using .NET ?

Hi all,

I just stumbled upon WPF(Windows Presentation Foundation) and couldn't actually understand the whole thing about it. I wanted to ask if this is the preferred way of writing GUIs for Vista onwards(kind of replacement of SWF?)?

Thanks

Hi all,

I developed windows form application using VC++.NET.
I have a check box that i need to know its status from another file. I can access it from the class file (using its name or this pointer) but i can't access it from another file within the project.

How can i do it?

I tried using the class namespace but no good.
Please help.

Hi,

Now that we have the final version of VS.NET 2005, my question is can we have VS.NET 2005 installed and safely working along-side VS.NET 2003 that I already have (which is my current production environment)? Has anybody had a rough experience in doing this?

I want to develop some projects in VS.NET 2005 and keep developing some projects in VS.NET 2003. To do this i will need to install both the environments (and the relevant Framework version as well) together in the same production environment.

Is it safe to do this - or should i use the Virutal PC to install VS.NET 2005?

Note: I have the final VS.NET 2005 version (production reelase, not the Betas or RCs), since I am an Universal MSDN subscriber.

Thanks.

Many here have been happily using the Beta versions without problems. So, in theory, the release version should be even safer. However, if in doubt, install it on Virtual PC or, alternatively, wait a few weeks to see what problems/bugs the early users have reported. (An idea could be to install both VS 2003 and 2005 on VPC to test out the co-existence.)

I myself have not tried VS 2005 yet, but will probably do so in the new year.

We have an app close to beta. It's a multi tier app with the business logic in business objects with a separate UI above that. We're exposing the business layer assembly as a developers API.
My question is this: I don't want developers to have access to a limited set of methods in the business layer .dll, I could mark them internal or private but then I can't access them from our own UI assembly which needs them.

It's not secrets or anything, we don't need to hide them, it's just complex objects that we don't want to give access to the developer because they are fairly intimately tied to the UI layer and not for general consumption and we don't want people to be able to screw with them and mess up the data.

How do I expose certain methods in the biz object layer for my UI layer (an executable in another assembly), but prevent access from developers creating their own apps using the biz object assembly?

I can of course flag them as nonbrowsable etc attributes, but that doesn't really solve the problem in any meaningful way.

Since they are all strong named assemblies I'm theorizing that there might be some way of preventing access to specific methods from assemblies that don't contain this strong name, or perhaps constructing a separate assembly specifically for the purpose of being the developers api that in turn calls mirrored methods in the biz object layer or...?? Unsure | :~

hello all,

how do u do?. how can i get the parents variable info from child form.

i used this->Owner->Text. its giving only the parents text. but i want a variable from the parent.

for Example, i have m_TestVar in parent form, and is assigned to "Hello.. child". how do i get this variable from child form. This variable is declared as Public in parent form.

Thanking u in advance.

Basheer

You can cast this->Owner to your class. Like this

class YourForm : Form
{
   public string m_TestVar;
}

class ChildForm : Form
{
   void SomeMethod()
   {
      YourForm f = (YourForm)this.Owner;
      Console.WriteLine(f.m_TestVar);
   }
}

This may or may not be a good idea, as it means that ChildForm can be used *only* in conjunction with YourForm. It would be better if you could pass the value of m_TestVar to ChildForm, as a method parameter, for example.

hi Mr.Senthil,

how do u do?. Thank u very much for ur reply. well here whatever u said is ok. But the prob is this is not possible in case Winforms i have some prob. coz compiler never knows what is the parent form for it at compile time. i hope if u see the code fragment u can understand the prob.

in parent form:::

public:
ChldForm *child;
String* info;

System::Void Form1_Click(.......) {

info="Check Application";
child=new ChldForm();
child->ShowDialog(this);

}

System::Void timer1_tick(....) {

/// the info value changes for each 2 minutes
info=......;

}

in child form i am using this to call.

this->Owner->info;

but the problem is that compiler cant guess who is the parent here. so i used the type cast for this.

((parent*)this->Owner)->info

But it says that the parent is not the member of the present namespace. How do i solve this.

i got a solution for this. But this is not optimized.

thank u for ur reply once again.

regards,

Basheer.

Think about it the other way around, put a public property in your child form that is set by the parent form when the child form is constructed. The property could reference whatever you like, so let's say you have a text box in your parent form, you can have a public property in your child form like this:

private TextBox _parentTextBox=null;<br />
public TextBox ParentTextBox<br />
{<br />
  set{ _parentTextBox=value;}<br />
}

When you create your child from from your parent form, set it's "ParentTextBox" property to your parent forms corresponding text box and you now have full access to it.

Of course it doesn't have to be a text box, it could be any object in your parent form and it doesn't have to be a property, you could just make it a parameter in the constructor of your child form depending on how required or not it is.

This is much clearer and more portable than trying to cast the parent form to gain access to it and easier to ensure there are no problems down the road with changes etc.

hello,

thank u very much for ur reply. i did the same and got the solution. Thank u once again

On a web page from Microsoft I discovede that .Net 1.1 SDK cannot be installed on a 64 bit processor(http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/technologyinfo/sysreqs/default.aspx[^]), but on the main download page it is not mentioned.

Can enybody confirm that on an 64 bit architecture the sdk can not be installed (or it doesn't work)?

I hope we understand...because is a rough world out there...

I guess it depends on which of the 64 bit platforms you're using, IA64 (Intel Itanium) or x64 (AMD). You can install and run the SDK on x64 just fine, as the platform supports running 32 bit applications natively. Win64 might run it on WoW, but it still will run fine.

Well, VS 2003/.NET 1.1 will certainly run on an AMD 64 machine. That's what I'm using at the moment.

The BindingList<t> class is not serializable, but the List<t> Items are. Does this seem strange to anyone else? Since Items are protected, can anyone help me understand how to implement a Serializable BindingList? Thanks.

Where ever you go, there you are.

Thanks to Mav in the C# group, here's the answer:

///

/// The item list, used for Serialization.
///

[XmlElement(Type = typeof(<t>), IsNullable = true)]
public ArrayList ItemCollection
{
get
{
ArrayList alist = new ArrayList();
foreach (<t> item in this.Items)
{
alist.Add(item);
}
return a;
}
set
{
ArrayList alist = value;
foreach (<t> item in alist)
{
this.Add(item);
}
}
}

You'll need to change the <t> to your specific type, since the serializer doesn't generic.
Have fun.

Where ever you go, there you are.
