So a windows exe file has access to the command string which invoked it, including its path and filename. eg. "C:\MyApp\MyApp.exe --help". But this is not so for a dll invoked via LoadLibrary. Does anyone know of a way for a dll to find out what its path and filename is? Specifically I'm interested in a Delphi solution, but I suspect ...
So this is IT more than programming but Google found nothing, and you guys are just the right kind of geniuses. My Exchange Server 2007 and Entourage clients don't play nice. Right now the big issue is that the entourage client will not connect to Exchange 2007 ( Entourage 2004 or 2008) The account settings are correct and use the ...

I have a web application that sometimes just hangs over heavy load. To make it come back I have to kill the "dllhost.exe" process. Does someone know what to do? This is an Classic ASP (VBScript) app with lots of COM+ objects. The server has the following configuration: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz / 4 GB RAM Windows Server 2003 Web Editi...
How can I determine all of the assemblies that my .NET desktop application has loaded? I'd like to put them in the about box so I can query customers over the phone to determine what version of XYZ they have on their PC. It would be nice to see both managed and unmanaged assemblies. I realize the list will get long but I plan to slap ...
I'm writing a C/C++ DLL and want to export certain functions which I've done before using a .def file like this LIBRARY "MyLib" EXPORTS Foo Bar with the code defined as this, for example: int Foo(int a); void Bar(int foo); However, what if I want to declare an overloaded method of Foo() like: int Foo(int a, int b); As the de...
I'm trying to reinstall a DLL in the GAC, everything seems to work fine but the web application accessing it still seems to be using the old one. The old DLL is the same version as the new one with only a minor edit, it will be used by 50 different sites so changing the version then changing the reference in the web.config is not a good...
Most of my C/C++ development involves monolithic module files and absolutely no classes whatsoever, so usually when I need to make a DLL with accessible functions I just export them using the standard __declspec(dllexport) directive. Then access them either dynamically via LoadLibrary() or at compile time with a header and lib file. H...
Hi, I'm trying to call a 3rd party vendor's C DLL from vb.net 2005 and am getting P/Invoke errors. I'm successfully calling other methods but have hit a bottle-neck on one of the more complex. The structures involved are horrendous and in an attempt to simplify the troubleshooting I'd like to create a C++ DLL to replicate the problem....
I'm trying to debug into a C dll that is invoked on a Windows Mobile device using CeRapiInvoke() (Technically RAPI.Invoke() from OpenNETCF) from a Windows box. I'm very familiar with attaching to a process that is already running to debug a loaded dll (I've done it many time with Windows Mobile services) but I can't seem to figure out w...
We have a third party dll that is used in our web service hosted in IIS6. The problem is that once this dll is loaded into memory, the exception AccessViolationException gets thrown if a thread different then the one that created it tries to execute any code within the dll. The worker process is multi threaded and each call to the web se...
I know that the .NET framework looks for referenced DLLs in several locations Global assembly cache (GAC) Any private paths added to the AppDomain The current directory of the executing assembly What order are those locations searched? Is the search for a DLL ceased if a match is found or does it continue through all locations (and i...
When I drag & drop a dll to the assembly folder on vista, I get the error "Access is denied: mydll.dll". How can I bypass the error message and add my dll to gac? ...
I'm just looking for a simple, concise explanation of the difference between these two. MSDN doesn't go into a hell of a lot of detail here. ...
Using reflection, I need to load 2 different versions of the same assembly. Can I load the 2 versions in 2 different AppDomains in the same process? I need to do some data migration from the old version of the app to the new version. Please let me know if this is possible or should I use 2 separate processes. ...
The easiest way to think of my question is to think of a single, simple unix command (albeit, this is for windows) and I need progmatic access to run it. I have a single command-line based executable that performs some unit of work. I want to call that executable with the .net process library, as I can do with any other executable. Ho...
This is related to the this question and the answer maybe the same but I'll ask anyways. I understand that we can start managed executables from the network from .NET 3.5 SP1 but what about assemblies loaded from inside the executable? Does the same thing apply? ...
This is an antique problem with VB6 DLL and COM objects but I still face it day to day. What is the best tool to see which DLL file or version another DLL is referencing to? Of course, this is from the OS point of view - compiled DLLs not from within VB6 IDE. It's DLL hell. ...
Background: At my company we are developing a bunch applications that are using the same core dll's. These dll's are using Spring.net's IoC-container to wire things up (auto-wiring). All applications are using the same spring configuration file, and this configuration file points to many classes in many different dll's. But not all appli...
