Is there any kernel equivalent of this method? I can see IoVolumeDeviceToDosName(), not sure. if this is correct one.

I'm sorry but that really does not give us any useful information. Also, I have tried both old and new versions of this and cannot see any listbox marked "Look-in". Veni, vidi, abiit domum

Then you should read the documentation and Google for other questions. Use the best guess

Besides the other reply note as well that there is no way to insure that a socket is working without sending something (reading will not work.)

okay. So If I have socket connection which is already established. Will I able to set a timeout so that TCP/IP implementation provided by OS, will automatically close it? The reason for asking this question is I want to maintain a connection pool and want to make sure that if no one uses socket connections from it, it should get atomically freed. ~ Vikram S

Well, the first place I would look for is running out of memory. Depending on how you create the thread (_beginthreadex / CWinThread class / whatever) if you are creating a thread for each of the 12000/second arrivals, you might run out of some resource. You might check for stack size too, if I remember correctly, each thread gets a stack and that's taken off the end of your stack so, eventually, there'll be some overlap. I'm a bit foggy on that but it caused me problems in the past and I had to build the app with a larger stack size.

First of all is STL not a binary compatible interface, you must compile with exactly the same STL version in all modules/libraries/DLLs. There is probably no linker warning/error if you try otherwise. Secondly allocating memory in one module's heap and deallocating in another will fail, if you do not provide special allocators. In short, there is no easy way to use STL in exported interfaces.

Hi, well this is not quite the right place to post this question, please move this topic to windows related questions. I want to give you a fast tip: 1) when installing a new service if you want to avoid problem use "instsrv.exe" (google about it) 2) then after creting the service edit the corresponding registry editor HLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\yourservicename\Parameters

With creation and/or modification dates prior to 1970? Really. OK - what do you need from the _stat function? You should be able to use Win32 functions to determine the values of file attributes that _stat gives you. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

SO, what's the problem? And does it actually have anything to do with C, C++ or MFC? Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Hey even I am facing this issue. I am unable to retrieve the VarBindList. Please help Regards,, Rahul :((

AFAIK, this 'if' check will not bring any noticable change in the performance. I know even more complex logging mechanisms are used in professional softwares. Also you can avoid logs (if that much necessary) in some extremely performance oriented functions. Note: You may simplyfy the code (only look) using by using macros, so that repeated if blocks can be avoided. Eg. #define LOG(x) if( bLogEnabled ) { LogString( x ); } - ns ami -

I tried logging into the file. but I saw this - process is created - no file logs are generated this file should be created when "main" method of my binary is called.

Hey, That is really a good information. Thanks.
