Hello I have a C# application that uses several Libraries (Crystal ...). The application always runs well. Since a few days I focus the problem, that I can start my application only with the debugger (the Debug and the Release version). If I start the *.exe directly, the application crashes ... Most times an 'Out Of Memory' exception occurs. I added some debugging output and I see, that I enter the Main() but then it crashes ... The application also crashes, if I take an old (former running) *.exe file. Do you have any hint how I could handle it? Thanks and best regards, Martin

Because it is a long number and I have to pass it manually, e.g. by telephone. So the main target of the algorithm I am looking for is to shorten the integer.

Hi I use Windows-XP/Embedded and I want to shut down my application properly if the user presses the Power-Button. The system is powered by an ATX power supply. I used the following code to test it: using Microsoft.Win32; ... SystemEvents.PowerModeChanged +=new PowerModeChangedEventHandler(SystemEvents_PowerModeChanged); ... private void SystemEvents_PowerModeChanged(object sender, PowerModeChangedEventArgs e) { System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("Power Off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"); } Unfortunately the message never appears if I click the main button. The only thing that happens is that the top most form/dialog is closed. Is here anything wrong or are there better solutions? Thanks and best regards, Martin

Hi I use a COM object which needs that I set my Threading-Model to Multi-Threaded-Apartment (MTAThread). If I do not set it to MTAThread I get System.InteropServices.COMException when I call COM-Functions. If I set it to MTAThread I get a 'System.InvalidOperationException:DragDrop registration failed' exception when opening a Windows-Form element with AllowDrop set to true. Is it not possible to enable DragDrop in a Multi-Threaded-Apartment? Thanks Martin

Hi I want to set the File Access (e.g. FileAccess.Read ) attribute in my C# program. I found the System.IO.File.SetAttributes() Function but it seems not to be the right thing. I also do not want to use the FileStream constructor. Is there another way? Thanks

One solution is to read out the information with the GetFolderPath function: string strFolderName = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData; For details see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemEnvironmentSpecialFolderClassTopic.asp

I have application settings (Configurations) which can be modified by the user at runtime. The settings are stored in a file or in a database. Where do I locate this file? E.g. the installation folder C:\Program Files\MyExampleProgram\Settings is write-protected for a normal user. The C# program is installed on Windows Systems post Win98SE.
