Hi,

I need to use VeriSign CRL Location (URL) to check the Revocation (CRL) of Certificate in .NET framework. I find X509Chain class in .NET which has RevocationFlag, RevocationMode but not sure how to implement using CRL Location URL that is provided by VeriSign.

CRLs are publicly available from distribution points like HTTP or LDAP servers. A certificate usually contains a CRLDistributionPoints extension with a link to the location from where the corresponding CRL can be obtained. If we get Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) or certificate revocation lists (CRLs), how do we check the status of Certificate revocation of X.509 certificates.

Please let me known is there any way to fetch CRL distribution point using .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5. I appreciate your guidance on this.

Thanks

Hi all;

We have a situation where on one person't computer, it is not reading a value set in the config file. Works fine elsewhere. This is an add-in to Word so the file is winword.exe.config and is as follows:

<configSections><section name="WindwardReports" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/></configSections><WindwardReports><add key="sql.timeout" value="240"/></WindwardReports>

And the code is:

var coll = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("WindwardReports");

var str = coll["sql.timeout"];

How can we figure out why this is not working? Is there a way to list out what sequence of config files .NET is looking at and what it is seeing?

thanks - dave

Below code is working fine in Window 2003 32 bit. but i am using code in window 2008 R2 and above OS. It takes lot of time

Hi,

We are getting "The operation completed successfully" Win32 exception in a very specific use case. In our application there are some old windows made in Progress OpenEdge that can be opened as children of a main window. The problem occurs when a user opens a context menu in one of them and then tries to open a modal window with a shortcut, they get the following exception:

[the next line is already our ShowModalWindow method]

The relevant fragment of System.Windows.Window class on Reference Source has some interesting comments:

if (hWndCapture != IntPtr.Zero)
{
    //
    // NOTE: hamidm -- 7/14/04
    // EnableWindow(false) (called from EnableThreadWindows(false)
    // sends WM_CANCELMODE to the window, so we don't need
    // to send it again.  However, if we change our impl
    // of dialog such that we don't disable all windows on the
    // thread, then we would need this call. Keeping this code here
    // until we finish the Dialog task # 18498

    // UnsafeNativeMethods.SendMessage(hWndCapture,
    //                                WindowMessage.WM_CANCELMODE,
    //                                IntPtr.Zero,
    //                                IntPtr.Zero);

    // hWndCapture = UnsafeNativeMethods.GetCapture();
    // if (hWndCapture != IntPtr.Zero)
    // {
        // PS # 862892
        // WCP: Investigate whether ReleaseCapture is needed in ShowDialog
        SafeNativeMethods.ReleaseCapture();
    // }
}

Simply catching an exception causes the main window to freeze, but leaves the old form operational.

Any ideas what might be causing this behavior and how can we fix it?

Thanks,
Marek

I know, that this question has been stated before - but I didn't find any answer.

Let's take this simple example:

    static class Program
    {
        [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
        [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
        private static extern bool AttachConsole([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] int dwProcessId);

        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            if (AttachConsole(-1))
                Console.WriteLine(@"AttachConsole() succeeded!");
            else
                MessageBox.Show(@"AttachConsole() failed!");
        }
    }

When I start cmd.exe (For example by Run) - it works - I get "AttachConsole() succeeded".

When I start it in any named window (e.g. Developer Command Prompt) - I get nothing. No console output, no message box. Moreover - when I run Marshal.GetLastWin32Error() - I get 2 (File not found).

Is there any way to lose this problem?

IE 10 prompt username password and other browser working fine.

The  below workaround is not working for me.

I tried two options, but both are not working my machine
1. Added site as a trusted site
2. Internet Options, Internet, Custom Level and set the User Authentication --> Logon to "Automatically logon with current user name and password

Thanks

Hello Team,

I have a requirement for developing a library in C# which can be used in any windows app (Metro or Non Metro) apps to discover Bluetooth LE devices which are advertising a custom service with uuid and pair and find all the characteristics of the service and send parameters and receive response.

I have tried 32feet.NET library which everyone talks about but realized it doesn't support Bluetooth LE devices. Is there any way I can do that? Or do I have write C# wrapper to use winsock2.2 library to call native code to access Bluetooth stack?

Please suggest. We have been able to achieve this requirement in Mac OSX by using their core Bluetooth framework.

let say i want to represent arithmetic expression using xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><expr><add><num>10</num><num>20</num></add></expr>

and here is my classes to represent this:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Test
{
    public abstract class Evaluable
    {
        public abstract int Eval();
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Test
{
    [Serializable]
    [XmlRoot("expr")]
    public class Expr
    {
        [XmlElement]
        public Evaluable Evaluable { get; set; }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Test
{
    [Serializable]
    [XmlRoot("add")]
    [XmlType("add")]
    public class Add : Evaluable
    {
        [XmlElement]
        public List<Evaluable> Elems { get; set; }

        public override int Eval()
        {
            return Elems.Select(e => e.Eval()).Sum();
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

namespace Test
{
    [Serializable]
    [XmlRoot("num")]
    [XmlType("num")]
    public class Num : Evaluable
    {
        [XmlText]
        public int Val { get; set; }

        public override int Eval()
        {
            return Val;
        }
    }
}

but it doesn't work, and it's reasonable, since Serializer doesn't know any thing about the subclass. but how to make it work?

here is my deserialization code:

var serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Expr), new[] { typeof(Add), typeof(Num) });
            Expr expr = null;
            using (var file = new StreamReader("expr.xml"))
            {
                expr = serializer.Deserialize(file) as Expr;
            }

connection_string = "Server=" + myapplication.GetValue("ServerHost").ToString() + ";";

public string get_connectionstring(string system_key)
{
    string connection_string;

    RegistryKey myapplication_registry = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\myapplication", true);
    RegistryKey system_registry = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\myapplication\\" + system_key, true);

    connection_string = "Server=" + myapplication.GetValue("ServerHost").ToString() + ";";
    connection_string += "Port=" + myapplication.GetValue("ServerPort").ToString() + ";";
    connection_string += "Database=" + system_registry.GetValue("DatabaseName").ToString() + ";";
