• Can GhostScript run in Medium Trust

  - by SkippyFire

  I am using GhostScript to generate some thumbnails of PDF pages in an ASP.NET application. I have it wrapped in this library called GhostScriptSharp that just uses DllImport to call methods in the GhostScript DLL. It looks like this wont work on a medium trust hosting environment, either because of the fact that it is calling unmanaged code, or that it looks like the library is creating files all over the place (outside my virtual directory). I ran Process Monitor and saw it trying to Read, QueryNameInformationFile, CreateFile and QueryStandardInformationFile in places like: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Halftone\Default or C:\gs\gs8.63\lib\Halftone\Default or C:\gs\font\Halftone\Default Any ideas about whether this is "fixable" to run in medium trust? If I can't use GhostScript, is there another free/open source library that WILL work in Medium trust?

• MapViewOfFile shared between 32bit and 64bit processes

  - by MK

  Hi, I'm trying to use MapViewOfFile in a 64 bit process on a file that is already mapped to memory of another 32 bit process. It fails and gives me an "access denied" error. Is this a known Windows limitation or am I doing something wrong? Same code works fine with 2 32bit processes. The code sort of looks like this: hMapFile = OpenFileMapping(FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, szShmName); if (NULL == hMapFile) { /* failed to open - create new (this happens in the 32 bit app) */ SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES sa; sa.nLength = sizeof(SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES); sa.bInheritHandle = FALSE; /* give access to members of administrators group */ BOOL success = ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor( "D:(A;OICI;GA;;;BA)", SDDL_REVISION_1, &(sa.lpSecurityDescriptor), NULL); HANDLE hShmFile = CreateFile(FILE_FAXCOM_SHM, FILE_ALL_ACCESS, 0, &sa, OPEN_ALWAYS, 0, NULL); hMapFile = CreateFileMapping(hShmFile, &sa, PAGE_READWRITE, 0, SHM_SIZE, szShmName); CloseHandle(hShmFile); } // this one fails in 64 bit app pShm = MapViewOfFile(hMapFile, FILE_MAP_ALL_ACCESS, 0, 0, SHM_SIZE);

• How to know a file is finished copying

  - by Yigang Wu

  I’m using ReadDirectoryChangesW to spy a folder, if I’m copying a large file to the folder, I can receive multiple FILE_ACTION_MODIFIED messages, it seems each time windows writes a large chunk of the file, you get the file modified notification for each time. I tried to use CreateFile API to check if the file can open by AP or not, but sometime, some of files are always locked by other AP, for example, if you are opening the Outlook, the PST will update, but my AP can’t access it, we have to start Shadow Copy to open it. So my question is, how to know a file is finished copying?

• Win32 select/poll/eof/ANYTHING!?!?!

  - by Andrew

  Using the standard Win32 file I/O API's (CreateFile/ReadFile/etc), I'm trying to wait for a file to become readable, or for an exception to occur on the file. If Windows had any decent POSIX support, I could just do: select(file_count, files_waiting_for_read, NULL, files_waiting_for_excpt, NULL, NULL); And select will return when there's anything interesting on some of the files. Windows doesn't support select or poll. Fine. I figured I could take the file and do something like: while(eof(file_descriptor)) { Sleep(100); } The above loop would exit when more data is available to be read. But nope, Windows doesn't have an equivalent of eof() either! I could possibly call ReadFile() on the file, and determine if it's at the eof that way. But, then I'd have to handle the reading at that point in time -- I'm hoping to simply be able to figure out that a file is readable, without actually reading it. What are my options?

• Drawbacks with reading and writing a big file to or from disk at once instead of small chunks?

  - by Johann Gerell

  I work mainly on Windows and Windows CE based systems, where CreateFile, ReadFile and WriteFile are the work horses, no matter if I'm in native Win32 land or in managed .Net land. I have so far never had any obvious problem writing or reading big files in one chunk, as opposed to looping until several smaller chunks are processed. I usually delegate the IO work to a background thread that notifies me when it's done. But looking at file IO tutorials or "textbook examples", I often find the "loop with small chunks" used without any explanation of why it's used instead of the more obvious (I dare to say!) "do it all at once". Are there any drawbacks to the way I do that I haven't understood?

• how change nginx temp & log folder or disable logging completely

  - by Ehsan Khodarahmi

  I'm running nginx 1.3.5 under windows seven, I need to execute nginx directly from a read-only media (CD or DVD), but when I want to run it, it fails with this error: nginx: [alert] could not open error log file: CreateFile() "logs/error.log" fail ed (5: Access is denied) 2012/08/28 13:52:46 [emerg] 5604#2864: CreateDirectory() "J:\nginx-1.3.5/temp/client_body_temp" failed (5: Access is denied) where J is my CD-ROM drive letter. I've changed nginx.conf to disable logging completely, but seems anyway it still tries to build a file named 'error.log' in '/logs' folder & some extra temporary contents in '/temp' folder at the startup, so I want to change 'logs' & 'temp' directory path to windows temp folder (%temp%), but I dont have any idea that how can I do it. Also I want to know why nginx still creates 'logs/error.log' after disableing error logging ?

• Record video file with 'thumbnail' image in Windows phone 8

  - by Deepak

  I'm trying to create a video capturing application store video file with 'thumbnail' image in Windows phone 8. I got some hint from the following link : How to get the thumbnail of a recorded video - windows phone 8?. But the result is quite annoying. I think there is some problem with the function. void captureSource_CaptureImageCompleted(object sender, CaptureImageCompletedEventArgs e) { using (IsolatedStorageFile isoStore = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication()) { WriteableBitmap wb = e.Result; string fileName = "CameraMovie.jpg"; if (isoStore.FileExists(fileName)) isoStore.DeleteFile(fileName); IsolatedStorageFileStream file = isoStore.CreateFile(fileName); Extensions.SaveJpeg(wb, file, wb.PixelWidth, wb.PixelHeight, 0, 85); file.Close(); captureSource.Stop(); fileSink.CaptureSource = null; fileSink.IsolatedStorageFileName = null; } } e.Result has some invalid data in it.while i bind it to an image control it shows some annoying image. Anyone please help me.

• How to append text to a text file in WinAPI?

  - by Bruce

  Hi guys, Ive got an annoying problem, I cant append any text to the text file. Every time I open it for writing, I overwrite the data. I tried to move the file pointer to the end of the file, but no result (no writing to the file at all). Here is the code: INVOKE CreateFile, offset filePath, GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_WRITE, 0, OPEN_ALWAYS,FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,0 mov hFile, eax mov edx, 10 INVOKE SetFilePointer, hFile, 0, 0, FILE_END INVOKE WriteFile, hFile, offset buffer, edx, ADDR SizeReadWrite, NULL INVOKE CloseHandle, hFile Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

• embedded dev. question - how to break free from a faulty serial port opening?

  - by user347266

  Under WindowsCE, C++ project, I'm trying to work with devices connected via both "real" serial ports and/or serial-to-usb wrappers ("virtual" serial ports); my problem is - when I try to open the port, if something goes wrong, the function never returns and the system goes into some non-responsive state and has to be eventually rebooted. I need to open the ports from the main thread. The question is - how can I make it happen in a controlled way?? this is the opening code snippet: std::ostringstream device_name; device_name << "\\.\COM" << port; m_port = ::CreateFile(device_name.str().c_str(), GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, // exclusive access NULL, // no security OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED, // overlapped I/O NULL); // null template any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks!

• How to give 'Everybody' full rights to a file (programmatically)

  - by egrunin

  I'm modifying an old C++ program to run on Vista. It does not require Admin privileges. I've changed the code to put logfiles in \ProgramData\MyApp\. These logfiles are written with the stdio functions (fopen, fprintf, fclose). Here's the problem: UserA runs the program first, it creates \ProgramData\MyApp\MyLogFile.txt UserB runs the program next, it tries to append to MyLogFile.txt and gets access denied. I tried creating a null SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR and passing that to CreateFile(). That does create a file with "no permissions assigned", but it seems as if the first user to write to the file takes ownership and afterwards all the other non-admin users are out of luck. It's important that all users share the same logfiles, but it's also important that I change as little code as possible.

• Improve disk read performance (multiple files) with threading

  - by pablo

  I need to find a method to read a big number of small files (about 300k files) as fast as possible. Reading them sequentially using FileStream and reading the entire file in a single call takes between 170 and 208 seconds (you know, you re-run, disk cache plays its role and time varies). Then I tried using PInvoke with CreateFile/ReadFile and using FILE_FLAG_SEQUENTIAL_SCAN, but I didn't appreciate any changes. I tried with several threads (divide the big set in chunks and have every thread reading its part) and this way I was able to improve speed just a little bit (not even a 5% with every new thread up to 4). Any ideas on how to find the most effective way to do this?

• Detecting metadata-only read requests in windows filesystem

  - by HyLian

  Hello, I'm developing a kind of filesystem driver. All of read requests that windows makes to my filesystem goes by the driver implementation. I would like to distinguish between "normal" read requests and those who want to get only the metadata from the file. ( Windows reads first 4K of the file and then stop reading ). Does Windows mark this metadata reads in some way? It would be very useful in order to treat that two kind of operations in a different way. In a typical CreateFile call, we have AccessMode, ShareMode, CreationDisposition and FlagsAndAttributes parameters ( being DWORD ), i'm not sure if it's possible to extract some clue of the operation requested. Thanks for reading :)

• Windows CE: Changing Static IP Address

  - by Bruce Eitman

  A customer contacted me recently and asked me how to change a static IP address at runtime.  Of course this is not something that I know how to do, but with a little bit of research I figure out how to do it. It turns out that the challenge is to request that the adapter update itself with the new IP Address.  Otherwise, the change in IP address is a matter of changing the address in the registry for the adapter.   The registry entry is something like: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN90001\Parms\TcpIp]    "EnableDHCP"=dword:0    "IpAddress"="192.168.0.100"     "DefaultGateway"="192.168.0.1"    "Subnetmask"="255.255.255.0" Where LAN90001 would be replace with your adapter name.  I have written quite a few articles about how to modify the registry, including a registry editor that you could use. Requesting that the adapter update itself is a matter of getting a handle to the NDIS driver, and then asking it to refresh the adapter.  The code is: #include <windows.h> #include "winioctl.h" #include "ntddndis.h"   void RebindAdapter( TCHAR *adaptername ) {       HANDLE hNdis;       BOOL fResult = FALSE;       int count;         // Make this function easier to use - hide the need to have two null characters.       int length = wcslen(adaptername);       int AdapterSize = (length + 2) * sizeof( TCHAR );       TCHAR *Adapter = malloc(AdapterSize);       wcscpy( Adapter, adaptername );       Adapter[ length ] = '\0';       Adapter[ length +1 ] = '\0';           hNdis = CreateFile(DD_NDIS_DEVICE_NAME,                   GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE,                   FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE,                   NULL,                   OPEN_ALWAYS,                   0,                   NULL);         if (INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE != hNdis)       {             fResult = DeviceIoControl(hNdis,                         IOCTL_NDIS_REBIND_ADAPTER,                         Adapter,                         AdapterSize,                         NULL,                         0,                         &count,                         NULL);             if( !fResult )             {                   RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("DeviceIoControl failed %d\n"), GetLastError() ));             }             CloseHandle(hNdis);       }       else       {             RETAILMSG( 1, (TEXT("Failed to open NDIS Handle\n")));       }   }       int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPWSTR    lpCmdLine, int       nCmdShow) {     RebindAdapter( TEXT("LAN90001") );     return 0; }   If you don’t want to write any code, but instead plan to use a registry editor to change the IP Address, then there is a command line utility to do the same thing.  NDISConfig.exe can be used: Ndisconfig adapter rebind LAN90001    Copyright © 2012 – Bruce Eitman All Rights Reserved

• Shadow copy referencing invalid volume from symboliclink

  I recently replaced my motherboard after the last one failed (was shorting and causing random reboots).

That aside, I've been tracking down a pair of errors in the application log.

• How to move your Windows User Profile to another drive in Windows 8

  I like to have my user folder on a different drive (D:) than my OS is (C:). Reading the following post I decided to give it a try.

• quickly close all word and excel

  - by dyenatha

  Suppose I open 10 Word files and 10 Excel files and make no changes, how do I quickly taskkill all at once? Because I must repeat several attempts to replicate race, I'm hoping for a command-line solution. I'm willing to try PowerShell and cygwin (1.5) if necessary. The OS is Windows XP SP3 with current patches (still IE7). I tried "taskkill /pid 1 /pid 2 /t" where 1 is PID of EXCEL.EXE and 2 is PID of WINWORD.EXE, but it closed only 1 window of each program.

• C# - Possible to use IOCTL

  - by theblip

  I'm trying to code for a Point Of Sale system which allows for a "Cash Drawer" attachment. Code is provided in the manual for opening the cash drawer (in C++ using IOCTL). Since I am coding in C# .NET, is it possible to perform something similar from within C# or will I have to write some unmanaged code? Am I able to get a handle to "\\.\ADVANSYS" from within C#? Do I need to use DLLImport? Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. // IOCTL Codes #define GPD_TYPE 56053 #define ADV_OPEN_CTL_CODE CTL_CODE(GPD_TYPE, 0x920, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS) #define ADV_STATUS_CTL_CODE CTL_CODE(GPD_TYPE, 0x900, METHOD_BUFFERED, FILE_ANY_ACCESS) void OpenDrawer(UCHAR uWhichDrawer) // uWhichDrawer = 1 => CD#1, uWhichDrawer = 2 => CD#2 { HANDLE hFile; BOOL bRet UCHAR uDrawer = uWhichDrawer; // Open the driver hFile = CreateFile(TEXT("\\\\.\\ADVSYS"), GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0); if (m_hFile == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) { AfxMessageBox("Unable to open Cash Drawer Device Driver!"); return; } // Turn on the Cash Drawer Output (Fire the required solenoid) bRet = DeviceIoControl(hFile, ADV_CD_OPEN_CTL_CODE, &uDrawer, sizeof(uDrawer), NULL, 0, &ulBytesReturned, NULL); if (bRet == FALSE || ulBytesReturned != 1) { AfxMessageBox("Failed to write to cash drawer driver"); CloseHandle(hFile); return; } CloseHandle(hFile); }

• Is there a better way of launching same app from GUI or Command line

  - by markhunte

  Hi All, I worked out a way of running my Cocoa (GUI) app. From either the normal double clicking it, Or from the CLI. I realised that when an app launches from a double click (GUI), it returns an argument count (argc) of 0. But when launched from the CLI it will have an argc of 1. So long as I do not put any arguments myself. Which means I can use if.. else.. to determine how the app was launched. This works fine for my app as I do not need to put arguments. But I wondered if there was a better way of doing it. Here is an example of the code in the main.m int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) { //This determins if the app is launched from the command line or app itself is opened. if (argc == 1) { //app was run from CLI // Create a object MyClass *mMyClass; mMyClass = [[MyClass alloc] init]; // Read the Buffer [mMyClass readBuffer]; // Write out file on disk [mMyClass createFile]; [mMyClass doMoreStuff]; [mMyClass release]; mMyClass = nil; return 0; } else { NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init]; //app was doubled click, (Opened) return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv); [pool drain]; // */ // return NSApplicationMain(argc, (const char **) argv); }} Many Thanks.

• Delphi: Alternative to using Assign/ReadLn for text file reading

  - by Ian Boyd

  i want to process a text file line by line. In the olden days i loaded the file into a StringList: slFile := TStringList.Create(); slFile.LoadFromFile(filename); for i := 0 to slFile.Count-1 do begin oneLine := slFile.Strings[i]; //process the line end; Problem with that is once the file gets to be a few hundred megabytes, i have to allocate a huge chunk of memory; when really i only need enough memory to hold one line at a time. (Plus, you can't really indicate progress when you the system is locked up loading the file in step 1). The i tried using the native, and recommended, file I/O routines provided by Delphi: var f: TextFile; begin Assign(filename, f); while ReadLn(f, oneLine) do begin //process the line end; Problem withAssign is that there is no option to read the file without locking (i.e. fmShareDenyNone). The former stringlist example doesn't support no-lock either, unless you change it to LoadFromStream: slFile := TStringList.Create; stream := TFileStream.Create(filename, fmOpenRead or fmShareDenyNone); slFile.LoadFromStream(stream); stream.Free; for i := 0 to slFile.Count-1 do begin oneLine := slFile.Strings[i]; //process the line end; So now even though i've gained no locks being held, i'm back to loading the entire file into memory. Is there some alternative to Assign/ReadLn, where i can read a file line-by-line, without taking a sharing lock? i'd rather not get directly into Win32 CreateFile/ReadFile, and having to deal with allocating buffers and detecting CR, LF, CRLF's. i thought about memory mapped files, but there's the difficulty if the entire file doesn't fit (map) into virtual memory, and having to maps views (pieces) of the file at a time. Starts to get ugly. i just want Assign with fmShareDenyNone!

• can't write to physical drive in win 7??

  - by matt

  I wrote a disk utility that allowed you to erase whole physical drives. it uses the windows file api, calling : destFile = CreateFile("\\.\PhysicalDrive1", GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ | FILE_SHARE_WRITE, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,createflags, NULL); and then just calling WriteFile, and making sure you write in multiples of sectors, i.e. 512 bytes. this worked fine in the past, on XP, and even on the Win7 RC, all you have to do is make sure you are running it as an administrator. but now I have retail Win7 professional, it doesn't work anymore! the drives still open fine for writing, but calling WriteFile on the successfully opened Drive now fails! does anyone know why this might be? could it have something to do with opening it with shared flags? this is always what I have done before, and its worked. could it be that something is now sharing the drive? blocking the writes? is there some way to properly "unmount" A drive, or atleast the partitions on it so that I would have exclusive access to it? some other tools that used to work don't any more either, but some do, like the WD Diagnostic's erase functionality. and after it has erased the drive, my tool then works on it too! leading me to belive there is some "unmount" process I need to be doing to the drive first, to free up permission to write to it. Any ideas?

• Multimedia files written over WAN are getting truncated

  - by Dean

  I use the windows Multimedia API to create .wav files. 1. Open file with mmsioOpen 2. Creates WAVE,frm and data chunks using mmioCreateChunk 3. Write audio data using mmioWrite 4. Ascend out of the chunks using mmioAscend 5. Close file using mmioClose The file is being written into a temporary location, so after it has been closed it gets copied to another location using the CopyFile. This program is written in C++ and works great until the file it is writing resides over a WAN in a different city or country. The end result is a wav file that should be 20-30 seconds long ends up being 4 secodns long. It is always the last bit that is missing, so when you play it back it just stops before then of the recording. I initially thought that maybe I was copying the file too soon so as a test I put in a pause of 30 seconds after closing the file using Sleep(30000), but this made no difference to either it being truncated or by how much. I have modified the program to write to a file in parrallel using CreateFile and WriteFile, and the result is the same, so it is not an issue specifically with the mmio API's. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening and if there is a work-around to it? I suspect that I may end up having the temporary location on the local drive, but this is quite a big change to the application as well as existing deployments. thanks for everyones time Dean
