You can't go backwards like that. VS2005 projects wont load in VS2003. You can go the other way though, you can open a VS2003 project in 2005. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

You're not listening. You do NOT need CopyMemory to do this. You need to marshal this structure to your function properly. This is not done the same way it was under VB6. If you created and instance of this structure in your code and just want to assign a value to one of it's members, then all you have to do is something like this: arrBarCodeInformation(0).dwBarType = 42 Other than that, you haven't described what your doing with this stuff, nor have you posted any of the code you're trying to convert to show us what you want it to do.

If all you're doing is marshalling a structure back and forth to unmanaged code, you DO NOT NEED the CopyMemory function. Post more of this code that your trying to translate so we can help. If you don't, there's nothing we can do to help! Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

Apparently, you're trying to use a VB6 signature in VB.NET code. That won't work without some conversion. For example, a Long in VB6 is a 32-bit signed integer, while in VB.NET the same Long keyword is a 64-bit signed integer. If you want to translate the code, you have to replace the VB6 Long's with VB.NET Integer's. This is the biggest reason why people get this error message when using code they don't understand. Also, any structures must be passed as an actual structure, not a Long or Integer. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

On top of what Duncan posted, CopyString has some SERIOUS limitations on it's use in the .NET Framework. Since an object can be moved at any time, CopyString can be passed invalid addresses unless the objects invloved are pinned in place. What does this function do that you require the use of CopyString?? Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

in my case it worked.but if u have problem then u can do it do programitically.Use CRegKey for manupilating registry key never say die

Search MSDN for GetOpenFileName / GetSaveFileName function . Wishes. Anshuman Dandekar Dare to Dream, Care to Achieve.............

This is how we do it with OPENFILENAME: From MSDN: OPENFILENAME ofn; // common dialog box structure char szFile[260]; // buffer for file name HWND hwnd; // owner window HANDLE hf; // file handle // Initialize OPENFILENAME ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(ofn)); ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(ofn); ofn.hwndOwner = hwnd; ofn.lpstrFile = szFile; // // Set lpstrFile[0] to '\0' so that GetOpenFileName does not // use the contents of szFile to initialize itself. // ofn.lpstrFile[0] = '\0'; ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile); ofn.lpstrFilter = "All\0*.*\0Text\0*.TXT\0"; ofn.nFilterIndex = 1; ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL; ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 0; ofn.lpstrInitialDir = NULL; ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST; // Display the Open dialog box. if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn)==TRUE) ::MessageBox(NULL, ofn.lpstrFile, "File Open", MB_OK); Owner drawn Jesus Loves

I have tryied the code but i cant able to lock the directory.Give me the code for me how to lock ok. Please help me:((

How to allocate space dynamically to my application.Is there any functions to use and how can it be usefull explain me ok.

Well since you haven't asked for anything (and this is good as programming questions don't get answered here) I'd suggest you get to work. I'd offer some advice though. Your requirements definition seems very weak. Looks like something I'd expect from a WIPRO developer. You might want to flesh it out a little more before you actually code. If you do work for WIPRO contrary to what you may have been told you also might want to describe your errror handling requirements. Better get to work though. Looks like you have *a lot* of work left just in figuring out how to program. Best of Luck! -- modified at 8:33 Friday 3rd February, 2006

For partitioning: (Now pay attention here) open a command window and type format C: don't press enter though. That's all you need to do. Check on it every few hours. This process can take a long time. To allocate space for your program do: Windows Explorer->File->New Folder, follow the prompts from there. I also suggest you learn C++ before asking questions about it. I only read CP for the articles. Code-frog System Architects, Inc.
