Yes, you can do this. Go read MSDN articles about Office Interop and you'll soon be able to do this and much more - as long as your code only needs to work with the later incarnations of Office.

The fact that it works is a fluke. The local poly is NOT a CTriangle. It just so happens that in the two classes the vtable[^] pointer is at the same location as are the first two members (width and height). Accessing testdata (via ptrgl) is wrong in this code. Also the wrong instance of virtual functions will be called. If I could give a single piece of advice to new C++ programmers it would be to stop casting yourself into strife. Steve

When you allocate 128 bytes through "new char[128]", you may not commit any new page of memory!!! My point is that memory allocation is done by the heap manager used by your module. For example, if CRT is the heap manager (msvcrt.dll) you're linking with, all "malloc / new" kind of instructions will be handled by that library, which may reuse previously released memory, or return an address of already commited memory. The heap manager keeps track of your allocations, and commits pages of memory only when needed. For example, on first allocation, a number of pages are commited to support the request. On those pages there's still room for more allocations. Thus, next allocation, if small enough, will not commit more pages, but use the existing commited pages. There're plenty of online resources explaining how a "heap manager" implementation works: http://blogs.technet.com/askperf/archive/2007/06/26/what-a-heap-of-part-one.aspx[^] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunking_(computing)[^] http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-06/BH-US-06-Marinescu.pdf[^] http://www.freshpatents.com/Methods-systems-and-computer-program-products-for-managing-a-memory-by-storing-external-objects-in-a-dynamic-heap-dt20051215ptan20050278496.php[^] Best regards, Bornish ESRI Developer Network Compilers demystified - Function pointers in Visual Basic 6.0 En

How can i print application Memory in some file? Pankaj

I'm using this class. Works OK for me. http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/misc/misc/versioninfo/article.php/c319/[^]

yes, this is great! thanks!!!

i have tested with another application. i make it crash. i can still see event log capture this event even dr. watson failed to get the dump. i heard that dr watson only dump for some problems will affect the OS. anyway, the event log and drwatson should be running. (at least, it can capture the crash i make) however, i just dont know my target application is really crashed or being killed by somebody.

Easy, same as what you've been doing, only the path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop. Hard. Not everyone has the appropriate permissions to write to that folder. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

My bad! :-> I could have sworn that it didn't. This topic came up before about 6 months ago and I thought that was what the answer was. :-D RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

Hi, if object A (frmBulk) registers an event of object B (timer) it is like B would have a reference to A. Thus to free A you will have to unregister the event. So if you dont need the form any more: this.timer1.Tick -= new EventHandler(frmbulk.TimerEventHandler); Btw: I dont think its good style to bind an event of object A (timer) to an object B (frmBulk) within a third object (main). I think it would be better if main just registers the event itsself and then just calls a method in frmBulk. To free bulk you would then only need to set the private field to null.

From what I am aware of a System.String is a reference type, yes, but it's also immutable - i.e., the character sequence in it cannot be changed once it is created. Methods that appear to change a string only return a new string with the modifications made. Note: everything below here is my interpretation of what is going on. :) When you do something like this: string a = "one"; string b; b = a; a and b will point to the same location for the string in memory - just like you expect with reference types. The catch is that because a string is immutable, as soon as you do this: b = "two"; The CLR will now remove b's reference to a, create a new String object (with the character sequence "two") and assign that to b. a and b now point to two entirely different System.String's in memory. This process of sharing a reference until someone makes a change helps keep memory usage down whilst keeping a System.String inherantly immutable - two strings will point to each other until one of them changes. When one of them changes, two entirely seperate strings are created. Even when you pass a string by reference (using ref) you still aren't actually modifying the original string. All you are doing is creating a new System.String in memory somewhere and changing the ref'd variable's reference to point to this new string. The old string still exists in memory somewhere, but providing certain conditions are met it's up for garbage collection now. public void Foo() { string one="two"; Bar(ref one); // pass in the refence to the variable "one". Does not pass the string. } public void Bar(ref string inStr) { // create a new System.String in memory, set it to the character // sequence "three", and change inStr's reference to point to this new string. inStr = "three"; } This space for rent!

yes, the current method i used is the copy the arraylist to a object array like below code but it need extra work private ArrayList listTradePattern; public class TradePatternList { public TradePatternList() { listTradePattern = new ArrayList(); } [XmlElement("Pattern")] public TradePattern[] TradePatterns { get { TradePattern[] tradepatterns = new TradePattern[ listTradePattern.Count ]; listTradePattern.CopyTo( tradepatterns ); return tradepatterns; } set { if( value == null ) return; TradePattern[] tradepatterns = (TradePattern[])value; listTradePattern.Clear(); foreach( TradePattern tradepattern in tradepatterns ) listTradePattern.Add( tradepattern ); } } }

There is no time type in SQL Server. If you're referring to the timestamp type then be sure to read the documentation for the SqlDbType enumeration. A timestamp translates to a byte[] array. In SQL Server a timestamp is an automatically generated array of binary numbers that is guaranteed to be unique with a database. It is not a time portion of a DateTime or anything like it. If DataAdapter.Fill is having trouble determining the proper type then you'll need to define the DataColumns in your DataTable within the DataSet manually. The easiest way to do this is to create a typed DataSet using VS.NET. You can drag-n-drop tables, views, or stored procedures from Server Explorer (i.e., from connected databases) into the designer when you create a new DataSet type. Right-click on your project (or a folder within your project) and click Add->Add New Type. Then click "DataSet", give it a name, and click OK. Now you get what looks like (and actually is) the XML Schema designer. Drag any of those objects from the Server Explorer I mentioned above onto this surface, or design the tables and fields (elements and child elements) yourself. You can even add DataRelations and keys in this view as well. When you compile your project a typed DataSet is created. Instantiate a new instance of this DataSet instead of the base DataSet class. For performance improvements, use the typed table and column properties which decrease the number of required look-ups to find the correct table or column, respectively. On the other hand, you chould change the type in SQL Server. If you intended to have a field that stores just the time, then you need to declare it as a DateTime field in SQL Server. It's your views and what you do with the data that determine if the time, date, or both matter. This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Thanks - WM_ENDSESSION appears to be the important one for me, but I will look at using WM_POWERBROADCAST and WM_POWER as well.

oh! i solved the problem. thank you very much! actually, how can u get this? i can't get any hints from MSDN library.

Both the Standard version and the Professional version support C++, C#, VB.Net and J#. The key is that the Professional version boasts a more advanced compiler that has more options and can be made to produce more efficient/smaller/optimized code targeting a certain platform. Unless you're doing applications that are extremely heavy (such as CRM or large-database applications, programs such as the SAP/R3), then the Standard version will suit you just fine. The advantages of the Professional version also come in handy when the code contains huge amounts of iterations, loops, recursions or similar procedures. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.
