Sounds to me like you are doing something dramatically wrong, running a simulation on production data, therefore requiring the roll back, or building a business process on cancelling a transaction. A more normal method of simulating would be to restore production to another instance, run the process to completion and then restore again to repeat. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Hi all, I'm using the Talend Open Studio ETL tool for my integration. Unfortunately, this tool doesn't have advaneced debuging facilities and I don't have access to a nice IDE. So after a couple of hours, pain and agony I discovered that the exception is thrown elsewhere in the code where a URL object is constructed with an empty string (a redirection URL should have been obtained from the reply from the server, but this is a different issue). Thank you all for your help. Perhaps I'll post another question soon :-D. Kind regards, Bob Stanneveld

Thanks for the information! I'll try this to solve the problem. I have just one question. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686227.aspx[^] says the following about the first parameter: [in] The shutdown priority for a process relative to other processes in the system. The system shuts down processes from high dwLevel values to low. The highest and lowest shutdown priorities are reserved for system components. This parameter must be in the following range of values. The value 3FF is listed as the highest value for applications in the table following the description. Shouldn't SHUTDOWN_LEVEL be equal to 3FF? Unfortunatly my monitoring service is doing more than just restarting the other services so the recovery options are not sufficient in this case.

Thanks for the information. I'll look into that! Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

Hello, Thanks for your information. The 8051 series sounds nice and I have some experiance with them from college. I failed to find a C++ compiler for the board.. :sigh: I'll probably have to get some decent budget for this undertaking of mine and I assume that it is an almost once-in-a-lifetime purchase, so I better do it good. :-D Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

The attribute was wrong. I know that they 'should' be the same, but without the parenthesis, it won't work and with the parenthesis, it works.. :confused: I guess that this is a bug somewhere in the runtime or something. Maybe I'll notify MS about it. Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

Hi, Thanks for the reply. It's ugly indeed. It's that I'm not a strict OO purist... I hope that everybody moves to the .NET 2.0 framework soon.. Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

I think that it's a missing feature in the standard edition. I think that the content of the debug output window is the output of dr watson. This output says that the debug symbols are loaded, but when I hold the cursor above the DLL breakpoint, the tooltip says that there are no symbols loaded. :confused: I have to verify this somehow.

Hello, I din't try this, yet... I think that the reference is the problem. I'm still used to C++ and that headers do all that magic for me. :-O I'll let you know if this doesn't work. Thanks for the reply! Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

Shaw wrote: You still should not need to use const_cast, instead you can just call the function like so: SPrintBuffer((char*)str.c_str());. I force myself to use straight C++ only.

Thank you! The following change did the trick: BadKarma wrote: CArbitraryClass**&** operator->() { return m_ArbitraryObject; } to CArbitraryClass***** operator->() { return **&**m_ArbitraryObject; } The compiler now automatically calls the second operator->() and everything looks like you have no temporary object! I tested this syntax on VS2005 and I don't know if it works on previous versions of visual studio. I'll try it as soon when I get my hands on one of those versions. I first tried it with implicit casting, but this didn't work. I now have the solution thanks to you. :-D Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

Ah I see. It still removes the newlines if you don't insert spaces. Thanks for the information. :-D Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

You are welcome. I have always tried to pursuade students to do this but no one considered it good enough to be done. I dont have enough time myself nowadays to do something like this. Anyway, Best Wishes for your project. Cheerz, Aamir

Well, I solved the problem. The problem was not in unmapping the view, not in mapping the view, it was in the function which calculated the offset of the data in the view. The offset was reset when a new MMF was created, but not when a new view of a MMF was created. This lead to writing outside the view, which in turn corrupted the heap. I guess that a complete heap check is done after each allocation and deallocation. Behind every great black man...             ... is the police. - Conspiracy brother Blog[^]

I know that, but I don't know why an MFC library file includes my Time.h file using the #include <time.h> directive. I thought that directive tells the compiler to look first in the INCLUDE environment variable. Guess it does not.
