Running .application Via Citrix

All, If I create a hyperlink to my application on a page on my Intranet, and click the link to launch it when I am accessing my network via Citrix, it runs fine. (Mostly.) But my "Citrix Master" is unable to publish the app in a way that it will run as a "Published App" with an icon on the Citrix "landing page". It seems to publish fine, but when I try to run it, an error appears saying "The Citrix server is unable to process your request to start this published application. Please try again. If the problem persists, contact your Administrator. Has anyone else run into th

.Net Framework Configuration

I have created a winforms application that references a number of third-party dlls as well as dlls that we have written. I would like to place the app allong with all dependent files on a share on a server ie \\MyServer\MyApp and have users access the application from this location. If I just copy the contents of bin directory to server location and run the exe I get the message #1 below. I used the .Net Framework 2.0 Configuration tool and created a copy of the LocalIntranet_Zone under Runtime Security Policy\COde Groups\All_Code. I set this code group to use the FullTrust

Calling IEGetWriteableFolderPath()

Hi, I am trying to call IEGetWriteableFolderPath() from a C# BHO. So I have done this: [DllImport("ieframe.dll")] public static extern int IEGetWriteableFolderPath(ref Guid clsidFolderID, StringBuilder str); Later in a function: Guid FOLDERID_InternetCache1 = new Guid("{352481E8-33BE-4251-BA85-6007CAEDCF9D}"); StringBuilder Path = new StringBuilder(); int RES = IEGetWriteableFolderPath(ref FOLDERID_InternetCache1, Path); But I am not getting anything in Path!

Using uninstalled fonts in Windows 7

In previous versions of Windows I was able to temporarily use uninstalled fonts by opening the font and minimizing it to the Task Bar. That font would then be available for use in the majority of programs I use: graphics, word processing, etc., by showing up in the list of available fonts. It seems that this feature is no longer available in Windows 7. I open an uninstalled font, minimize it to the Task Bar and it, but it will not show up in the list of fonts available for use in any of the programs in which this previously worked. I really do not want to have to go throug

Windows Service is hanging

I've developed a Windows Service that is designed to perform some work every five minutes. Within OnStart, I'm creating a worker thread that loops until the thread is aborted (usually when the service is stopped). Within the loop, the thread calls a function to perform the work, logs success/failure of the work performed, then sleeps for the remaining 5 minutes. I'm experiencing a problem where the service seems to hang; nothing is logged but the services appears to be "Started". This problem occurs intermittenly. The only resolution I've found thusfar, has been to cycle the

how to query Web Configuration settings for sessionState?

hi, I know how to configure sessionState in the central Web.Config. i'd like to know if there is a way to query that setting (normally not needed, but sometimes useful for diagnostic purposes). (this would be analogous, e.g., to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.AllKeys etc.) cheers, Tim

Update - Microsoft Responds to the Evolution of Community

What is Happening? This message is to inform you that Microsoft will soon begin discontinuing newsgroups and transitioning users to Microsoft forums. Why? As you may know, newsgroups have existed for many years now; however, the traffic in the Microsoft newsgroups has been steadily decreasing for the past several years while customers and participants are increasingly finding solutions in the forums on Microsoft properties and third party sites. This move will unify the customer experience, centralize content, make it easier for active contributors to retain their influence, mitiga

.NET 4.0 and MMC snap-ins

We have a large, complex project we just updated to use VS2010 and the 4.0 Framework. Part of the project is an MMC snap-in for administration. After the upgrade, I can no longer load the snap-in. I get this error message from MMC: ----- Could not load file or assembly 'MicroFocus.SEE.UI.SnapIn, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded. ----- That *seems* fairly clear, and indeed there are various comments floating around the Internet su

Console App WriteLine to Null?

I have a C# 3.5 console app with many WriteLine calls. I want to add a startup argument to make all WriteLines write to "nul" so the app can run silently at my option. I don't want to clutter the code with a lot of if statements around the WriteLines or etc. There should be some way to just declare what the "console" is, right? Thanks.

Linq Expression for All Objects With Lowest Cost

Suppose I have the class foo class Foo { PropertyOne; PropertyTwo; } and I have a cost calculator class that uses lots of different information to calculate a cost. class CostCalculator { public decimal Calculate(Foo foo); } I'm struggling with how one would write a linq expression to select all objects that have the lowest cost. There's no guarantee of uniqueness. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Aeden

SMTP Mail Sending Problem Windows 7

Hi, I am using SMTPClient class for sending mail from my C# application. I have successfully sent mail in local area or outside of the domain. But, i met a strange problem. When i send the mail to the client who uses Windows 7 he cannot receive the mail, although exchange server tells me "it has delivered". I worked on it and i found a silly case. When i set MailPriority.High the client receives the mail. If i do not set the mail priority to high, the client does not receive the mail. Can Anyone tell me what is the problem, or has anybody met a problem as similar as wit

Foreign keys using LINQ to SQL

Is there some way in .NET (3.5) to specify that my SQL server foreign links should use declarative referential integrity ("ON DELETE CASCADE")? My application is developed in C# for .NET 3.5 using LINQ to SQL where my database tables are linked with foreign key associations. The database is designed using the LINQ to SQL graphics designer (dbml). The "Edit Association" properties in the database designer do not seem to include foreign key constraints. Do I have to write specific code for each foreign key using T_SQL to "ALTER TABLE .. ADD CONSTRAINT"? If so, is there an easy wa

Large assemblies/fewer quantity or Smaller assemblies/Larger quantities.

Hello. What is the thinking these days concerning assembly size vs. assembly quantity? With .Net 4 in mind, should I have one BLL assembly with every BLL domain model class in it, several large BLL assemblies with different BLL domain model classes in it, or smaller, more fine-grained assemblies? I'm interested in seceral factors, like maintanability, performance, and any others that you may have in mind. I've looked around for MS guidance but can't seem to find current information. Thanks in advance, Mike

How can I determine that two paths point to the same file?

Given two file paths, I would like to determine with certainty whether those paths refer to the same physical file. Now, there is Path.GetFullPath(), and that's very helpful. But what if I refer to a file on my machine through a UNC path? Example: C:\Temp\123.txt \\MYCOMP\DRIVE_C\Temp\123.txt \\MYCOMP\DRIVE_C is a share mapped to C:\, so ultimately both these paths point to the same physical file. Does the .NET Framework provide any means of mapping this? Please note that I don't in any way expect to get local path translation for a REMOTE server, but I think it ought to be
