Yes, that works! Thanks a lot!:) -Alma-

hi, there is a simple way of doing this. suppose you have a string "strg" and an int "ix". try { ix = Convert.ToInt32(strg); } catch(Exception ex) // needed in case string cannot be converted. { // do something with the exception } i think you can similarly convert to double as well.

I have done it in the following way: 1. registered the service: MyService.exe /service 2. added the associated type lib to the project: using MyServiceLib; (I used the Add reference wizard: Solution explorer tab, right click on the solution name, click on Add reference..., click on COM tab, in the appearing list box select the needed type library) 3. Created an object: IMyObject newObject = new MyServiceLib.MyObjectClass(); 4. Called the objects methods: newObject.Function(param1, param2); -Alma-

Yeah, right! :) Thanks! -Alma-

I found the following solution: DWORD dwProcessID = GetCurrentProcessId(); HANDLE hProcessHandle = OpenProcess( PROCESS_QUERY_INFORMATION, FALSE, dwProcessID); PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS p; GetProcessMemoryInfo(hProcessHandle , &p, sizeof(PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS); logit("Using [PM - %d] [VM - %d]", p.WorkingSetSize, p.PagefileUsage); It needs 'psapi.h' (and 'psapi.lib' if you want to load 'psapi.dll' statically). -Alma-

The 'cause' of the problem was that I switched the regional settings to another than US English. I use win2k sp3, vs6. :)

Yep, it workes this way. Thanks.

The solution i found is to use the CreateService function with user and password parameters set. Ex: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CString user = _T(".\\User"); CString pswd = _T("pswd"); LPSTR u = user.GetBuffer(user.GetLength()+1); LPSTR p = pswd.GetBuffer(pswd.GetLength()+1); SC_HANDLE hService = ::CreateService( hSCM, m_szServiceName, m_szServiceName, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS, SERVICE_DEMAND_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, szFilePath, NULL, NULL, _T("RPCSS\0"), u, p); -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To create the connection: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NETRESOURCE nr; char* a = new char[MAX_PATH]; memset(a, 0, MAX_PATH); char* b = new char[MAX_PATH]; memset(b, 0, MAX_PATH); strcpy(a, (char*)"\\\\alma\\geza"); strcpy(b,(char*)"x:"); char pswd[20] = "pswd"; char account[20] = "user"; nr.lpRemoteName = a; nr.lpLocalName = b; nr.lpProvider = NULL; nr.dwType = RESOURCETYPE_DISK; DWORD flags = CONNECT_UPDATE_PROFILE; DWORD res; res = WNetAddConnection2(&nr, (char*)pswd, (char*)account, flags); delete []a; delete []b; if (res == NO_ERROR) return TRUE; else return FALSE;
