Re: Mimic rtlMoveMemory for Speed Dave Kreskowiak1-Jun-04 15:22 Dave Kreskowiak 1-Jun-04 15:22  Your not going to find an equivelnet function in the .NET Framework. This is because the execution environment is MANAGED. This means that any object can be picked up and moved AT ANY TIME without you knowing it. You could write managed code to get around this, but it would also take time to execute this extra code, again slowing your app down tremendously because you have to call the Marshaler to pin the object in place, do your memory copy, then unpin the object. Pinning is a notoriously slow process, just like calling into unmanaged code, because of the overhead of converting the object from managed to unmanaged and back. As a side to your 2^31 bit problem. Use UInt32 data types instead of Int32's or Integers (same as Int32). UInt32 is an unsigned 32 bit integer, where Int32, or Integer, is a signed 32 bit integer. The 1 bit being used for the sign... Sometimes converting code instruction-by-instruction is not the most efficient method. Sometimes you have to rewrite an entire function from scratch to accomplish the same thing...

It's on his machine because he developed the application with the reference to it. He needs to supply you with the .DLL file, most likely winsock.dll, he used and any other .DLL files in the bin directory he got the finshed .EXE from. You then need to copy that .DLL into your C:\WINNT\System32 or C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder (WinNT or better), register the .DLL using REGSVR32 and the remaining .DLL's into the folder with your .EXE. Then your app should work. Better yet! Tell him to make an Installer Project and add it his solution so you can install the application and any needed files.

Gary Re: winsock error Dave Kreskowiak1-Jun-04 5:53 Dave Kreskowiak 1-Jun-04 5:53  Another Windows machine... The problem you're going to run into is that you MUST get the version that was used to build the application. It's kind of odd that you don't have this .DLL. The other part of the problem is that you probably don't have the Interop .DLL that was generated when the application was built. Without that, you could get the correct WinSock.DLL, but still be unable to use it. You might also have to have WSock32.DLL...

These files MUST be distributed with the application .EXE file. If you don't have these files AND the .OCX file that they reference, you will get the error that your describing. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: winsock error GaryKoh1-Jun-04 20:45 GaryKoh 1-Jun-04 20:45  hello Dave i manage to get the wsock32.dll file which is not available in my computer anyway since you have mention that those two other .dll file is only available upon application development so is there any other way to recreate those two .dll file on my own? cause i manage to call up my friend cellphone and he told me that the program he give me is the only copy after he formated his computer then i search a few other computer that are available at my college but i have no luck in finding the .dll file so is it possible for me to recreate them? cause those two line is the example i need to complete my assignment so if i cant try the code i wont know how im going to apply it thank you for all your help and sorry to trouble you so much Re: winsock error Dave Kreskowiak2-Jun-04 0:30 Dave Kreskowiak 2-Jun-04 0:30  You would have to recreate the IDENTICAL references he made in his app. You could use TLBIMP on the .OCX and .DLL files that he used to recreate the missing Interop.*.DLL's. But you have to get that list from him. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: winsock error GaryKoh2-Jun-04 14:48 GaryKoh 2-Jun-04 14:48  today something odd have happen i try my application on 1 of my college computer and the missing winsock file pop-up i double check on my cd which the original program was and there is no winsock file in the bin but after i compile at that particular computer, it show up so Dave can i know why this happen and what file can i copy that can cause the 2 file to auto generate? my lecturer say may be is my windows problem or when i install the program some file is missing im getting blur on this i think this might the last time i'll disturb you on this matter thank you Gary Re: winsock error Dave Kreskowiak3-Jun-04 12:11 Dave Kreskowiak 3-Jun-04 12:11  It appeared in the bin folder because the compiler copied it there. The file is needed by your application because of the reference your created. If the 2 Interop.*.dll files are not there, it's because they are not needed... RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome Re: winsock error Dave Kreskowiak4-Jun-04 0:13 Dave Kreskowiak 4-Jun-04 0:13  The file with the little yellow "!" next to it is the one that is missing. Without that file, you can't compiler the project. That's why it will only compile on one machine. That one machine has the file it needs to compile this thing. Go back to that machine and search for the file that the other machines put that "!" next to. Copy that file to the other machine, in the same folder that you found it in, then you should be able to compile the project.

Alan Hallett1-Jun-04 4:06 Alan Hallett 1-Jun-04 4:06  I'm building an application to read and write formatted files on disk. I have associated the file extension (.fod) with the application and this works fine. When I double-click on a file in, say Windows Explorer, the application starts as it should. But I now need a way of finding the name of the clicked file within the application so I can open it. How do I do it? I've been searching the help systems and just not been able to find it, probably because I'm using the wrong terms. I've tried 'parameter', 'external parameter', "%1" and a whole host of others. Many thanks in advance for your help. Alan Hallett Re: How do I receive an external file name from within an application? Dave Kreskowiak1-Jun-04 4:20 Dave Kreskowiak 1-Jun-04 4:20  The parameter specifier is "%1". Keep the quotes around the %1 though. This will prevent file paths with spaces in them from being broken into multiple parameters. In your app, check into the Environment class and its CommandLine Property and GetCommandLineArgs method.

THomas DDE Support for UNICODE data sushilnikam1-Jun-04 0:35 sushilnikam 1-Jun-04 0:35  I am using DDE for inter-process communication in between 2 processes say VBProc and VCProc. VCProc is a UNICODE and maintains all strings in UNICODE format only (it might be in any language e.g. English, Chinese etc...) My VBProc module requests for these strings/data over DDE and display those as static text. If VCProc has a ANSI string then the mechanism works fine, but the moment string is in UNICODE I face problem at VBProc end. With further debugging I found that VBProc requests data with CF_TEXT format whereas it should do it wit CF_UNICODETEXT format. One solution for this problem could be to use MS Forms 2.0 object library. But it doesn't seem to reliable as far as DDE for UNICODE data exchange is concerned (from experience of one of my friend and from one post in the same context on Microsoft's site). So I am not in favor of using this solution. Could anyone comment on using it? Is it a freely distributable? Has anybody tried/used/worked on similar scenario? Does anybody have an alternate solution to this problem? Any suggestion in this context is appreciated Thanx in advance -Sushil Interupts in VB Scripting Stelang31-May-04 23:11 Stelang 31-May-04 23:11  How to handle interupts in VB Scripting.
