Cannot find redistributable .cat file..? Paladin200018-Jun-10 3:42 Paladin2000 18-Jun-10 3:42  Having inherited someone else's code to maintain (we've all been there), I am having a problem with the (3rd party, non-MS) installer creator. Specifically, it includes two files that I cannot find, which are: Microsoft.VC90.CRT.cat Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest From what I can tell, they are Microsoft VC++ redistributables, which should be installing to the folder "C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.VC90.CRT(...)". For some reason, I cannot find these files (.cat and .manifest) anywhere; Google and MSDN searches have not turned them up. If anyone can clue me in to where I can obtain them, it would be most helpful. Thanks in advance. Re: Cannot find redistributable .cat file..?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\redist\x86\Microsoft.VC90.CRT Re: Cannot find redistributable .cat file..? Paladin200018-Jun-10 6:44 Paladin2000 18-Jun-10 6:44  I did find that folder, and it contained the .manifest file, but not the .cat file. I don't know why it would be missing, perhaps something is wrong with my VS install? Thank you for your help. Re: Cannot find redistributable .cat file..? [modified] Roger Wright18-Jun-10 8:27 Roger Wright 18-Jun-10 8:27  Like you, I found the .manifest file on my machine at work. But here I'm using VS2008 Express. At home I have the standard edition, so I'll check tonight for it. Aren't .cat files usually used for installation, though? If you have the Visual Studio installation disc handy, I'd search there first. -Nope, not on the home machine either. Sorry about that.

Re: Windows service failed to start. Dave Kreskowiak18-Jun-10 2:06 Dave Kreskowiak 18-Jun-10 2:06  Anil Veeraghattapu 4 wrote: i put all the code of the Onstart event There is your problem. The general layout of a Service is, in OnStart, you are expected to start a seperate thread that handles your main service code loop, such a listeners or some kind of polling loop, ... This releases OnStart and returns control back to the Service Control Manager. In OnStop, you shutdown this loop as appropriate and let the thread stop gracefully. Putting all of your code in OnStart gives you exactly the error message your getting because OnStart never returns control back to the SCM within the default 30 seconds the SCM expects OnStart to return.

Re: Windows service failed to start. Anil Veeraghattapu 418-Jun-10 2:35 Anil Veeraghattapu 4 18-Jun-10 2:35  Yes you are right. it was some format exception i find it in the event log too.

Larry Niven nils illegitimus carborundum how to destroy window handle KaurGurpreet17-Jun-10 22:54 KaurGurpreet 17-Jun-10 22:54  I have a user control (composed of 10 text boxes). on certain user inputs -> multiple rows of above user control are added to a form. After certain amount of operation, I start getting error - cannot create window handle. How do I need to clear window handle? Shouldn't it be automatically disposed?

Re: how to destroy window handle KaurGurpreet17-Jun-10 23:21 KaurGurpreet 17-Jun-10 23:21  I do not want to show them all at once. At a time say 100 are visible but after the user changes the input I need to show other 100. But how do a ensure that the handle is destroyed for previous ones? Gurpreet Re: how to destroy window handle Luc Pattyn18-Jun-10 1:22 Luc Pattyn 18-Jun-10 1:22  So you have 100 visible UserControls with 10 TextBoxes each, and a lot of invisible ones? That is a bad design. If you need that many user inputs, use a listing control, maybe a DataGridView.

That's handled by the controls themselves. If you're running into this problem, it could be that your Showing a form with ShowDialog (not Show!), but never Disposing it when you're done. Just because you can't see the form anymore doesn't mean it's gone. If you don't Dispose the form, you're leaking resources (handles). This issue does not come up if the form is shown with the Show method. If you're putting up hundreds and hundreds of controls, your design is the problem, not the window handles being released.
