Hi all This is a duplicate question, but the other one didn't get any answers, so I'll have another go. I have SQL Server 2008 Client Tools installed, and would like to use SQL Server's query designer(s) in my application, for working with queries, views, SPs and functions. I'm pretty sure Access ADP does this, can I? I guess what I a...
I have several C# projects in one solution which reference some isolation-mode (regfree) COM DLLs. Some projects reference the same DLL, and when I build, I get error [MSB3180][1]: COM component 'SomeDll.dll' is defined in both 'Native.SomeProject.manifest' and 'Native.SomeOtherProject.manifest'". The projects must reference the same CO...

Hello everyone, I've set myself a new task which involves "spying" on COM objects. Even if you don't do COM, you're probably familiar with API hooking techniques where you can hook onto an imported function and execute your own code before calling the original. API hooking is somewhat complex but it quickly gets messy (too messy for pr...

I have had to set a fixed time out for a particular COM method call from a service that we have (which is written in C#). Not having used the System.Threading namespace for anything other than Thread.Sleep, I have had a play and have come up with a working prototype: bool _comCallSuccessful = false; bool _timedOut = false; private void...
Some background: SharePoint+PowerShell is (Usually) a Perfect Match by Zach Rosenfield [MSFT] SharePoint+PowerShell Leak Workarounds by me SO: Could you explain STA and MTA? In short, standard SharePoint guidance is that COM-backed objects like SPSite and SPWeb should not be used by different threads. This stands in conflict with Pow...

The IDXGIObject has a function to obtain a pointer to its parent GetParent. Unfortunately, the docs don't say whether I have to call Release() on the returned interface or not -- calling or not calling it works fine in both debug/release (that is, no crash), but I wonder whether I should release or rather not. Any idea how this is suppos...
I have a Python program (PP) that loads another Program(AP) via COM, gets its window handle and sets it to be the PP parent. This works pretty well except that I can't control that AP still has their [X] button available in the top left corner. Since this is a pretty obvious place for the user to close when they are done with the progr...
