Re: S.M.A.R.T support in SCSI hard disk drive

I would guess ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION ...

It seems that SCSI doesn't support this method. But S.M.A.R.T. is supported by a different way, because tools like Crystal Disk Info are showing correct info.

Hi, Have you fixed that problem now?

It also bother me, I can't get SMART info in SCSI hard disk by SMART_GET_VERSION.

Could you pls tell me your method ?

Thank you !

Yes, I made a workaround. I do not need the SMART_GET_VERSION, it was only a test which version is supported. Since the function has failed, I stepped out the procedure.

In my workaround I do not bother if the command fails in try to read the SMART infos. This works on all my test systems Smile | :)

So you still have no solution of SMART IN SCSI HDD,right?

Sure. My aim was, to read the smart info on SCSI drives. This is working fine now. What doesn't work, is to read the SMART version numbor on SCSI. But that's a minor problem and is not really bothering.

will be greatly appriciated, matter urgent.

I simply want to add files and dirs and create the iso image from that.

there is no useful answer in Codeproject and other web sites....

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

InfraRecorder[^] is open source and it can create ISO files. If think that it uses cygwin to create binary for Windows, but am not sure. Just have a look at it.

ISO Master[^] is another such thing, but they provide source code that compiles only on Unix/Linux like operating systems.

It is a crappy thing, but it's life -^ Carlo Pallini

Loading Resource from dll fails

I have created a win32 resource dll which has only string table, also i have included \NOENTRY in linker options in-order to make it as resource only dll

Now I am loading the dll in MFC application and loads fine but when I am try to get the string from the string table it doens't load. Here is my code:

     HINSTANCE hinsttance = ::LoadLibrary("SampleEN.dll");
DWORD dwError = GetLastError();

if (!hinsttance)
{
    AfxMessageBox("Failed to load");
}
else
{
    HINSTANCE hInstResourceClient = AfxGetResourceHandle();

    // Use DLL's instance handle
    AfxSetResourceHandle(hinsttance);

    LPCTSTR lpszName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(1); //IDC_STATIC_TOP has been defined as 1 in the dll
    HRSRC hrsrc = FindResource(m_hinstLib, lpszName, RT_STRING);

    if (hrsrc)
    {
        TCHAR szTemp[256];
        LoadString(m_hinstLib, IDC_STATIC_TOP, szTemp, 255);
    }

    AfxSetResourceHandle(hInstResourceClient);
}

what could be the problem???

What is m_hinstLib?
It should be hinsttance.

Then use the handle returned by FindResource in a call to LoadResource.
To access the actual resource call LockResource on the handle returned by LoadResource.

Actually it's - hinsttance, mistakenly written here as m_hinstLib

Where exactly does it fail?
Is it the FindResource that is failing or is it LoadString?

Try it without the AfxSetResourceHandle call.

Modified code according to your suggestion:

HINSTANCE hinstance = ::LoadLibrary("SampleEN.dll");

if (!hinstance)
{
    AfxMessageBox("Failed to load");
}
else
{
    HINSTANCE hInstResourceClient = AfxGetResourceHandle();

    // Use DLL's instance handle
    AfxSetResourceHandle(hinstance);

    LPCTSTR lpszName = MAKEINTRESOURCE(1); //IDC_STATIC_TOP has been defined as 1 in the dll
    HRSRC hrsrc = FindResource(hinstance, lpszName, RT_STRING);
    if (hrsrc)
    {
        HGLOBAL hglobal = LoadResource(hinstance, hrsrc);
        LockResource(hglobal);

        TCHAR szTemp[256];
        LoadString(hinstance, IDC_STATIC_TOP, szTemp, 255);
    }

    AfxSetResourceHandle(hInstResourceClient);
}

even now the string is empty. I get the error code: 1814 - which says resource couldn't be found. But I have re-verfied that the ID exists in the string table

I have tried commenting the statement
AfxSetResourceHandle(hinstance); but the same error

The error code 1814 comes after LaodString call

Now I am able to get the correct value's

The problem is with resource id's, I haven't defined same resource id in dll and in mfc application.

Not able to connect to the database

I m doing a database application.

in my OnNewDocument() i have the following code..

HRESULT hr;
try
{
AfxMessageBox("Inside try executed.",NULL,MB_OK); //Excecuted
hr = m_pConnection.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Connection));
AfxMessageBox("Created instance executed.",NULL,MB_OK);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
AfxMessageBox("If hr succeeded.",NULL,MB_OK);//Not Executed
hr = m_pConnection->Open(_bstr_t(L"Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft SQL Server\\MSSQL\\Data\\LibDB.mdf;"),_bstr_t(L""),_bstr_t(L""),adModeUnknown);
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
AfxMessageBox("Open connection executed.",NULL,MB_OK); //not executed
m_pConnection=TRUE;
}
}
AfxMessageBox("out",NULL,MB_OK);
}
catch(_com_error &e)
{
_bstr_t bstrSource(e.Source());
_bstr_t bstrDescription(e.Description());
TRACE( "Exception thrown for classes generated by #import" );
TRACE( "\tCode = %08lx\n", e.Error());
TRACE( "\tCode meaning = %s\n", e.ErrorMessage());
TRACE( "\tSource = %s\n", (LPCTSTR) bstrSource);
TRACE( "\tDescription = %s\n", (LPCTSTR) bstrDescription);
}
catch(...)
{
TRACE( "*** Unhandled Exception ***" );
}
return TRUE;
}

In the above code the if(SUCCEEDED(hr)) block is not executed.What could be the reason ?

Get the hr value and pass it to FormatMessage function. You will get the cause.

To convert an HRESULT to DWORD you can use the following code snippet!

BOOL WIN32_FROM_HRESULT(HRESULT hr, OUT DWORD *pdwWin32)
{
 if ((hr & 0xFFFF0000) == MAKE_HRESULT(SEVERITY_ERROR, FACILITY_WIN32)) {
  // Could have come from many values, but we choose this one
  *pdwWin32 = HRESULT_CODE(hr);
  return TRUE;
 }
 if (hr == S_OK) {
  *pdwWin32 = HRESULT_CODE(hr);
  return TRUE;
 }
 // otherwise, we got an impossible value
 return FALSE;
}

I found this from here

In your source files, dear!

It is a function, you can either put it in your .cpp file or .h file in global scope or add as a member function in your class.

Am I missing something ?

Another Tip:

Put the variable hr in the debug watch window, append ", hr" (without the quotes) to it to have Visual C++ translate it for you!

Or you can use pseudo variable $err as $err,hr in Watch window.The $err pseudo variable provides the value, and the hr format specifier tells the watch window to format it as an error code.
