Hi All I am calling a REST API from my C# Console application and get the following error while calling GetResponse method "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel." The code has worked before couple of days back , so I am not sure what changed. The cert I am using is valid cert installed on my machine where I run the code, I checked the expiration details and all. My code is as follows, it fails in the try block below.The uri that I pass is this -https://management.core.windows.net/{0}/services/hostedservices[^] I replace the {0} with a valid id ofcourse. Code:

public static XDocument GetResponse(Uri uri)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(uri);
request.Method = "GET";
request.Headers.Add("x-ms-version", msVersion);
request.ClientCertificates.Add(certificate);
request.ContentType = "application/xml";

        XDocument responseBody = null;
        HttpWebResponse response;

        try
        {
            **response = **(HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();****
        }
     catch (WebException ex)
 {
     response = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;
 }

}

Exception: The complete exception is: System.Net.WebException was caught HResult=-2146233079 Message=The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel. Source=System StackTrace: at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() at StorageAccountsExtractor.AzureService.GetResponse(Uri uri) in e:\StorageAccountsRetriever\StorageAccountsExtractor\StorageAccountsExtractor\Program.cs:line 289 InnerException: Solution: I looked on the web and looks like I need to make HTTPS use TLS? how do I do that.Any other ideas that I could look into?

how can I debug dll(COM)

I assume you have an Exe associated with that dll. Place breakpoints in your DLL and mention the Executable(exe) as the startup program in your Dll.This way you can step in to the code and watch the variables etc Hope this helps!

The first one is a clear case of Diamond Inheritance Problem, As there will be two copies of A in B & C , the compiler will be confused which one to use for D. This is where virtual inheritance steps in. Refer http://www.parashift.com/c++-faq-lite/multiple-inheritance.html#faq-25.8[^] for a start.

Use spy to get handles of the child windows and try sending the message to the child windows to figure out which window responds as you expect.

Yes,I used Spy++ to get the handle of window.The window is being maximized when using ShowWindow but looks like no messages are being posted. Also as replied by "Mattias G" above this reply, i gave coordinates in WPARAM/LPRAM - SendMessage(hwnd,WM_RBUTTONDOWN,100,100) but to no avail. I will try to send messages to child windows (Maybe webpage inside browser) and verify. Thanks for the reply !

Hi I am trying to send a Message to my Internet Explorer Window.I got the handle and able to maximize the window but unable to send message. Can anyone tell me if something is wrong in SendMessage call below?Is the message queued?Send message should wait until the message is processed right?

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

HWND hwnd=FindWindow(L"IEFrame",NULL);
	
if(NULL != hwnd)
{
  printf("\\n  Retrieved the window handle \\n");
  ShowWindow(hwnd,SW\_MAXIMIZE);// This line works and the browser window is maximized as well.
  LRESULT lr=SendMessage(hwnd,WM\_RBUTTONDOWN,NULL,NULL);//Here,nothing happens,even though i change the message to any other (like WM\_LBUTTONDOWN etc)

	  if(lr == 0) //Since if app process WM\_RBUTTONDOWN it should return zero
	  {
                      printf(" \\n Message Sent \\n"); //Strangely ,this output is printed though i don't see any action on browser
	  }
	  else
	  {
		 printf("\\n Failed to send message \\n"); 
	  }
}
else
{
	printf("\\n Failed to retrieve handle \\n");
}
return 0;

Hi I am getting the list of groups for a particular user using ActiveDirectory. I am using the following code.

void GetUserDetailsFromAD()
{
string _userName = Environment.UserName;
string _userDomain = Environment.UserDomainName;

//Use given URL
using (DirectoryEntry de = new DirectoryEntry(string.Format("LDAP://URL /OU=XYZ,DC={0},DC=XYZ,DC=XYZ,DC=com",_userDomain)))
{
//Create a text file to write details
TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("C:\\LDAP.txt");

                de.AuthenticationType = AuthenticationTypes.Secure |AuthenticationTypes.ReadonlyServer;
                using (DirectorySearcher search = new DirectorySearcher(de))
                {
                    search.Filter = "(sAMAccountName=" + \_userName + ")";
                    search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("displayName");
                    search.PropertiesToLoad.Add("memberof");
                    SearchResult result = search.FindOne();


                    if (result != null)
                    {
                        \_displayName = result.Properties\["displayname"\]\[0\].ToString();

                        //Loop through all the groups that user is part of
                        foreach (object item in result.Properties\["memberof"\])
                        {

                             //Write the groups to a text file
                            tw.WriteLine(item.ToString());

                          //Check whether the group in which user is present starts with ABC
                            if (item.ToString().StartsWith("CN=ABC,DC=DEF"))
			{
				//user is member of ABC group
			}
			else
			{
			       //user is not member
			}
                        }
                    } 
                }

                tw.Close();
           
          
        }

}

When i run these program from my local machine(let's say machine A) ,the list of groups which _userName belongs to is populated in C:\\LDAP.txt file.However if i run this from another machine (machine B) in same network,only some groups are displayed ,not all.Eg:If machine A lists group 1,2,3,4 ,machine B lists only 1,2. 1)How can i know whether there are any restrictions in place on other system?(due to which all groups are not displayed) 2)How to check whether there any changes in network settings in the second machine with respect to Active Direc

thank you very much Christian... could you give a sample link ....(you mean i need to create frames in html page and put target as .aspx page)??

What is the differrence between C++ and VC++.

C++ in general refers to the language, independent of compiler.There are various compilers for C++ like C++ in windows(VC++),linux(GCC) etc. VC++ is Microsoft's Compiler of C++,with it's own libraries primarily developed for MS Operating Systems. This http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers#C.2FC.2B.2B_compilers[^] should help you. Hope that gives a start

hi i am using Application Object to count the number of users created for a webpage.I am using following code in C#:

1.   protected void Session\_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
   

2.  {
   

3.       int userCount=(int)(Application\["userCount"\]) ;
   

4.       Application\["userCount"\] = ++userCount;
   

5.   }
   

It gives error @ line 3 saying Object reference not set to an instance of an object. in WebPage. how do i increment Application Object Value in Session_Start? i tried

Application["userCount"] + =1

but it says Can't convert Int to Object type.... I am using VS 2008 /ASP.NET 3.5 thanx in advance..

hi i need to read XML data from an XML file into C#.i tried using XmlTextReader class but i am not getting all elements. My XML file is as follows

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Form1>
<button>username</button>
</Form1>

My code is as follows

// Create an instance of XmlTextReader and call Read method to read the file

        XmlTextReader textReader = new XmlTextReader("C:\\\\books.xml");

        textReader.Read();

        // If the node has value

        while (textReader.Read())

        {

            // Move to fist element

            textReader.MoveToElement();


              Console.WriteLine("Attribute Count:" + textReader.Value.ToString());
        }

in the above code i am not getting all the nodes and elements...(maybe due to whitespaces) please give links to any code samples etc...is there any other method to read?? thanks in advance...

"Every morning I go through Forbes list of 40 richest people in the world. If my name is not in there, I go to work..!!!"

i declared the following code

class A
{
int i;
public:
void Showi()
{
i=10;
printf("\n i:%d ",i);
}
};

void main()
{

A \*p= new A();
p->Showi();

if(p)
{
  **delete p;**
  printf("\\n p deleted ");
}
p->Showi();

}

the problem is even after i deleted pointer p ..the call to Showi() works....does it mean p is deleted after sometime(since i heard VS 2005 uses GC)? i am using VC++ 2005 express edition.
