Every time I try to read one of those books, I fall asleep. I suggest browsing a few online tutorials on areas of C# and .NET similar to what you will be doing. For everything else, google it when you need it. You will retain the information better if learn-while-doing. There was a day when you could know all there was to know about a programming language, every command, every nuance, and it was not that hard. Now, the languages and frameworks have exploded in depth and I don't even try to learn everything, I am just happy to find reasonably efficient ways of doing what I need without screaming obscenities at Microsoft. Maybe the languages are getting too complex. Maybe I am getting dumber. I can't do much about either, so as long as they keep paying me, it's all good. :-D

No, it's not - the pre-processor's not that clever (probably just as well, really) Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Stone Free wrote: No the XPath statement is being used directly from the XML Document. Do you have any experience using a DOM with selectSingleNode()? As far as I know you can't return the result of name() as a node because it's not a node. Therefore what you are trying to do below makes no sense to me. pElem = domDoc->selectSingleNode(_bstr_t("name(/find:ResponseEnv/find:Bodies/node())")); led mike

How do people who create attributed atl projects manage the output files?

Wow! Excellent work, thanks for your help. It seems however that you cannot use ISupportErrorInfo, the _com_error::Description is blank. This does however seem to confirm what I read in the microsoft newsgroups, that your not supposed to set any rich error information inside FinalConstruct. This doesn't seemed to be mentioned in MSDN, but then neither is there any info on REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG for that matter. Many, many thanks the important thing is they can return an error code from CreateInstance. Peter

The Process Explorer[^] utility can show the command line that any process (to which you have access) was launched with. I think it does this by using the ReadProcessMemory API. By default, processes have ACLs (security settings) set so that only the creator of the process can use this API, but this behaviour can be overridden with use of the Debug privilege, which Administrators have by default - and as we all know, most people log in to Windows as a member of the Administrators group. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

Thanks for your reply Patric, I was beginning to think no one on codeproject worked in finance!:)

For each row was the name of a scheduled job in column 1, and in the other dozen or so columns were the different permissions (e.g., read, write, execute, delete, manage) for that particular job.

Ooooops,sorry I don't know why the link does not work correctlly.there is another thread like your question 8 question below yours.Check it,I don't know why the link does not work. Mazy No sig. available now.

I don't think you should just install a this dll by itself. It might have other dependancies. Look it up in the dll database on the MSDN website to see what would install this version and then install that program. Cathy Life's uncertain, have dessert first!
