Thanks, maybe my stalker is back from holiday, or jail. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

Use file I/O, reading and writing one block at a time; see CreateFile()[^] and associated functions. One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

No, there's no "hack" for this. What are you doing that requires an admin account? Impersonation won't work because then you're using the users account, which pretty much makes launch as an admin a moot point. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

As much as i know even if a certificate comes in a card then also it has to be installed in your personal store. While reading the cetificate you need to insert the smart token in order to execute ComputeSignature. And if you set the silent parameter to false while using ComputeSignature it will automatically reads the card and asks for password for the certificate (if any).

Hi John, Yes the WMI use in .NET has some associated problems. Is there any other alternative??? Sunil

Thanks Gurus. Sunil

Hi Mark, Thanks for your suggestion. I had to do a little tweaking to the canvas and i was able to achieve what I wished for. I could mail the .xap and html file of my prototype if you need. I will surely try out as per your suggestion and let you know... Thanks for your time. Sunil

Just great. This is what I really needed. Thanks. Sunil

You are right. We need to identify the appropriate code page and then accordingly use UTF8/ACP. I think for eastern languages it is UTF8 and for European languages it is ACP. Thanks a lot for your help. Sunil

Hi Sunil, Microsoft Windows will map many extra DLL's into your process space which do not appear in a PE image dependency walker. These extra libraries which are mapped into your process can be completely different on each users machine. Some examples of extra dynamic link libraries which could be mapped into your process: 1.) AppInit_DLLs[^] 2.) Window Hooks[^] 3.) Application Compatibility Layer[^] (Much of the AppCompat/Shim Engine is NDA undocumented) 4.) Device Drivers may map extra DLL's into a process. If you want to visually inspect which libraries are loaded in each situation then I would recommend downloading Process Explorer by Mark Russinovich[^]. You can export your process information to a text file and differentiate them. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
