I have client that tests interfaces in main build and I need to use the same client to test these changes in fork build. what is the best way to test interface changes in both with single client. One thought I'm heading is to get the...
I have a set of libraries written in Delphi.NET (.NET 1.1) which I want to use in my Win32 (Delphi) application. For performance related issues, I've decided to follow the COM route. Sometimes, after rebuilding the DLL, when I try to instantiate the objects exposed through COM the win32 application hangs at the CreateComObject call--h...
How can I ensure a dll is not unloaded while any objects in it exist? The problem is, when I was using explict memory management I could delete the dll objects before freeing the dll, however with smart pointers I have no controll over the order there destroyed, meaning the dll may be freed first causeing a crash when trying to free one...
I've written a DLL that may be used in a number of ways (referenced by ASP.NET web sites, WinForms, etc.). It needs to load its data from several delimited files that will be automatically updated on a semi-regular basis. For performance reasons, I'm loading the data into a static object (a generic List), and only want to go back to th...
This isn't strictly a programming question, but hopefully someone here has the knowledge to help me. Running Vista x64, the "Open File With" dialog takes forever to appear when trying to open a file with unknown type. To be specific, the prompt giving the choice between "Use the web service to find the correct program" and "Select a pr...

It's been ages since I've written a COM dll. I've made a couple of classes now, that inherit from some COM interfaces, but I want to test it out. I know I have to put a GUID somewhere and then register it with regsvr32, but what are the steps involved? Edit: Sorry, forgot to mention I'm using C++. ...
I'm using the VerQueryValue to retrieve strings from a DLL's VersionInfo. All works fine, except that the FileVersion displayed by Explorer (right-click on file, Properties, Details, "File Version") doesn't match the string I get from the VerQueryValue. All my other calls to VerQueryValue are working fine, but FileVersion seems to retr...
I need to use a dll in my asp.net application. How do I load a dll not from a bin directory? Perhaps I should mention that the application is a mixture of asp code and asp.net code. so, when I develop it on my machine, I place a dll in the bin directory, but after I move the code to the live environment, I don't want to have a separate...
When using WinDbg, where should the private symbol files (pdb?) be placed? My situation is: I have a DLL which I want to debug. I have the source code and symbol files for this DLL. This DLL is called by another DLL (which I don't have symbols or source for) which, in turn, is called by an EXE (which I also don't have symbols or source ...
In Java you can read a file embedded inside a JAR-file by using the following code: String file = "com/company/package/filename.txt"; InputStream is = ClassName.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(file); What is the C#/.NET equivalent of the above code - that is, how do I read a file I've embedded inside a DLL? Thanks! ...
If I have a Windows executable, how can I find out which dlls it will load? I'm just talking about which ones that will be loaded statically, not ones it might load dynamically with something like LoadLibrary. ...

I'm on a Windows machine. This seems like it should be unnecessary, but when I do it, everything suddenly works. Is there something wrong with my path? Do I need to add something to it to avoid having to copy DLLs? ...
Before I start with the real question, let me just say that I might get some of the details here wrong. If so, please arrest me on those as well as, or even instead of answering my question. My question is about DLLs and .NET, basically. We have an application that is using quite a bit of memory and we're trying to figure out how to mea...

Is it possible to use a C# assembly from Clarion? If not. Is it possible to run a simple console application written in C# and read the output from it back into Clarion? In both cases, how would you do it? In the case of the assembly, would you have to do something special with it for Clarion to get access to it? In both cases, how would...
I'm adding some encryption methods to a class library (C# 2.0) and would like to know the best place to put the pass phrase, salt value and initialisation vector required. Is it a really bad idea just to hard-code these into the DLL, or should I be be encoding them and storing them somewhere else? Thanks. Edit: Further info - encryptio...
This may be a very noobie question, but in today's world of web app development many programmers don't need to deal with dll's much, and thus don't bother to learn about their purpose. So what is a dll? What is it used for? How does it work? How do you create one? In what situations is creating one appropriate? I've been told that d...
