I need to get the domain name for the currently logged on user. ::GetUserName gets me the user name, but how do I get the domain name for that user? Thanks!

Could you provide me with a quick example? Sorry I'm not that into services and user access rights

Hi, using Vista with a standard user (no admin), I cannot start a service using Win32 with OpenSCManager, OpenService etc. How can I modify the user rights temporary to admin rights, so the functions work properly? Regards, Stefan

thank you

Hi, I want to start the system's favorite web browser from my c# app with an URL I specify. How do I do this? Regards, Stefan

Hi, setup: Router, connected to the internet, and a xbox 360 console several rooms away. They are not connected with a ethernet cable. Now I want to plug an ethernet cable into the xbox which connects to a wlan adapter, and I also want to plug an ethernet cable into the router which connects to another wlan adapter. These two adapters have to connect to each other so that it's quasi a wlan bridge between these two replacing the physical ethernet cable. Is this possible? What kind of wlan adapters do I have to buy? How do I setup them? I want the stuff to work just like a normal LAN. Regards, Stefan

Hi, in a particular situation, my pointer pManager becomes somewhat faulty. It passes the if (pManager) { check, but most of the members are not active and the code crashes when I try to access them. Now, I want to check if a particular member inside the pointer is valid. When I try like this if (pManager->bMember) {, the code crashes. Are there any functions to check the integrity of a member? Regards, Stefan

This has been known for at least 4 years now, and it's not exactly a bug. Though, some people would probably argue that it is.

When you call .Dispose() and the handle won't get free, it's a bug!

Thank you, that worked! :) Regards, Stefan

Hi, when I load an image using this Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(pic.Path), it is not possible to delete the file afterwards, unless you exit the program. I tried to call .Dispose() on the object, but it seems like a bug in the FromFile method. I found out a workaround Bitmap origbmp = new Bitmap(pic.Path); Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(origbmp); origbmp.Dispose();. I keep working with the copy of the original bitmap as it's not locked anymore. But, loading an image using Bitmap's constructor, it's impossible to load animated GIFs as it seems that Bitmap doesn't support them. Now, how can I use animated GIFs and other image formats AND be able to delete the file afterwards? Thx :-D Stefan

;) OMG WTF... When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

Don't know if it has been posted before, but here[^] you can watch Star Wars as an ASCII movie (at least half of the movie). They work on it since 1997 :wtf: When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

I paid around 200 EUR for it in Oct 2002.

Hi @all, maybe a simple question to most of you, but I never did this before while coding... What's the easiest and best way to copy all files inside a folder to a target device (e.g. drive D: )? And what classes or functions do you use? MFC stuff is welcome! :) Thx a lot! Stefan When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

I thought about buying a Dell 20" display, which is not so much more expensive than the Samsung, but most moderate priced 20" displays have pixel response times >30ms, which is not suitable for gaming, and I must admit I like to play games sometimes :). Anyway I like the styling of the SyncMaster, so living with 1280*1024 will surely do for me. When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!

Today I ordered a new SyncMaster 191T[^]. It'll replace my old 17" CRT. I expect a huge WHOA effect on first use :) When I was young my mother told me to clean up my room, I told her -1!
