    - Doubts about XPSDrvSmpl (WDK6000) i have study the xpsdrvsmpl(wdk 6000) for about 2 months, i have a lot doubts about it, i just have no idea to fix them. so i hope you may help me. as we all know, we zip the xps document into those structure: [Content_Types].xml _rels Documents Metadata FixedDocumentSequence.fdseq and the FixedDocumentSequence.fdseq folder contain a [0].piece file, the file's content is: < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > <FixedDocumentSequence xmlns=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/xps/2005/06 "> <DocumentReference Source="/Documents/1/FixedDocument.fdoc"/> I dont know who fill the content and when. can we fill the content by myself. hope for your reply. thanks.

    - accexplorer32 recognises datagrid as button Oh! Well, I'm not sure how much we can, rather I can directly contact them. Guess, if i get some kinda proof that it is problem with dotnetbar, I can escalate it. Or Can I get the information from the code of that grid I'm sure we would right Regards, Kavya Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - using cardspace from different PC Unfortunately, that's the only way to share cards across machines at the moment. You can export the cards and putt it onto a USB thumbdrive or host it on a secure server so that you can retrieve it on other machines. Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - getting a workflowcompleted before a state change notification from tracking Thanks Matt, that makes good sense. How, specifically, do you get "closed status on the workflow itself" E.g., when i get the TrackExecuting for the last state in the state machine, is there a way to ask: if ( (record.ActivityType as StateActivity).IsFinalState() ) Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - tired with chkdsk I am using HP pavillion laptop and it has been hardly 10 days to my laptop. But when I power on my laptop it checks the disc and it does not proceed from step1 However if I abort the disk checking by pressing any key,it starts successfully but doesn't work properly I mean,I am not able to launch Network and sharing centre and it goes in to "Not Responding" That makes me helpless to connect to the internet. Can any one suggest me the cause and solution for this Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - How to modify the pixel value of RAW image (.cr2) and save(encoding) again ? First of all, thank you very much for your answer. I sill have some questions. <Question 1> I had download the codec from Canon site. Is there any other Canon codec that can allow to save as raw image If not, can I save the pixel values as other image format(jpeg, tiff, etc..) Could you recommand the best way <Question 2> I'd like to check what the decoded pixel values mean. The decoded pixel values of raw image are not yet processed. If the decoded pixel values are not processed values, I have to know what the pixel values mean exactly because I 'd like to modify the pixel values before the values are changed to low-dynamic-range values(like 0-255). Also, after modifying, I have to convert this data to low-dynamic-range value(0-255) to rendering at monitor. Where I can find this kinds of information If the decoded pixel values are already processed values, I'd like to want to know the range of the values. Thank you.

    - The future... I think they are a bit shy to answer. Normally they help out rather fast on this forums but now... :-/ And I don't think these questions are unfair, we use a new technology of you guys and implement it, so we hope that there is a plan attached to it, for new versions...

    - dshow mp3, wav etc... player, for shoutcast lib stream... Thanks Bowljoman , Yes to create a source filter is a great idea... Ok I see the solution. If I create a source filter (take ball filter from direct show example) that take from input a buffer so I get the subtype from the stream then I fill in the sourcefilter mediaType with the stream parameters Directshow will do the rest. This is your Idea, Right , and is great, I'm just a newbie in dshow programming so, if I well understand I take "ball filter Samples", add a method to set for examples an input buffer etc. but I can't figure out which method of Filter Graph Manager I should invoke. I would explain better. In the example I should invoke Code Block pGraph->RenderFile(L"C:\\Examples.ogg", NULL); To build the proper graph Filter RenderFile is called, but I I make a custom source filter, how can I invoke something like RenderFile which build all the graph. Thanks Again Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - CorrelationParameter results in QueueNotFound error Nope, that's not it. Remember, the event works just fine without the correlation parameter. Also I tried switching the order of the RunWorkflow and RaiseSign1Event commands: there was no change in the error message. Thanks for trying though. I would really like to figure this out.

    - SqlWorkflowPersistenceService lock expire tests irrelevant? In V1 this is by design. Though no body else has touched the instance, we check for the ownerid as well as the ownershiptimeout to verify the ownership of the instance. In your case, ownership of the instance expires after 3 seconds but your delay is for 7 seconds. Due to this when runtime tries to persist the workflow you get the ownershiptimeoutexception. you need to increase it to the value which is greater than the delays in your workflow so that workflow will unload before the timeout expires. To summerize, even if the host owns a workflow, workflow should unload from the memory before the ownershiptimeout expires. Regarding ownershiptimeout and loadinginterval: You should set ownershiptimeout only if you have multiple runtimes pointing to the same persistence database. If your workflow is going to run only in single runtime, you should avoid using this ctor. Also the loadingInterval is used to poll the db for any expired timers. So if a delay in the workflow is less than the polling interval (which seems the case in your WF, delay = 5 and loadinginterval = 30 ), your workflow will not load immediately after the timer expires. It will load after "loadingintervalseconds + delay". If you don't set this value, default interval is 2 minutes Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - E_FAIL with InitializeDiscRecorder Hello BobN77, The unique ID going in is from your new configuration, right Judging by the looks of it (namely the 'scsi' in the name), it is not the inbox ATAPI/IDE driver being loaded but probably a third party port or mini-port driver for a controller on your motherboard. i haven't heard of any specific issues with marvel's driver, but it's quite possible there is an interaction issue going on at that layer... If Grigory's filter driver advice doesn't help, you can either send us a software trace and we can try to figure out what is going on....or you can try looking in your bios to see if you can take this chip out of raid mode and put it into 'compatibility' or 'legacy' mode. This will start loading the inbox port driver, which has been much better tested. If this fixes the issue, then we know it is an issue with the port driver for that chipset. That said, PLEASE DO NOT do that if you are actually using RAID mode on hard drives connected through this controller, or they will be inaccessible and you could possibly corrupt them if you try to access the disk As Grigory said, a software trace could also help us track down this issue... thanks, Garrett Jacobson Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - Restarting interrupted workflow instances Joel Thanks for the tip...but it didn't solve my problem. I applied the fix and added event handlers for WorkflowCreated, WorkflowLoaded, WorkflowCompleted, WorkflowTerminated, WorkflowIdled, WorkflowWorkflowAborted, ServicesExceptionNotHandled, Started, Stopped, WorkflowPersisted, WorkflowStarted, WorkflowUnloaded and WorkflowResumed. When I ran the test again, I could see the instance Created, Started and then Idle at the delay after the message. But when I stopped the service before the instance ended and waited past the timerdelay and then restarted the service, I get no messages, errors or resumed instances (aside from my own messages that the services started successfully).

    - AVI File Writer not removed from the graph using RemoveFilter method To properly close the avi file, you need to explicitely stop the graph. Waiting for the graph to stop by itself (waitforcompletion) is not enough and removing the filter from the graph does not do anything. The avimux and filewriter (together) will only write the avi headers in the file and close it at the time you do a stop on the graph. Now, the question of reusing your pointers for another go is something else. By the way, there is something strange in your code. Your pWriter is in fact the Mux, and your pSink is the Filewriter :) In theory, after closing everything properly, it should be enough to just release the mux and filewriter and then you should be able to call again SetOutputFileName. However, it seems you have also to explicitely set the pointers to NULL before reusing them (I have not worked out totally how it works). So it is a question of releasing and/or setting these pointers to NULL before reusing them. But it works. Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - RecipePropertyHandler SDK sample - no index integration ? Yes, I have completed all steps in the Readme file, and the information also turns up as properties on the file in explorer or when checking properties. From explorer I am able to edit properties, and they are correctly saved to the file. I found a small sample in one of the zip+archives in the SDK showing how to search the index db. The sample works as expected, but for the .recipe files it has only indexed basic file info like filename, filepath, access/creation dates etc. but no author, keywords(tags), rating, description, difficulty info. Im am running Vista RC1 - is this a known issue I will download the official release today to see if it helps.... Ole Tag: AddPrinterDriver returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED on Vista

    - Domain name for IADsOpenDSObject I have a code that has been written not by me. It verifies username/password for specified domain, like the following: IADsOpenDSObject* pDSO; ADsGetObject("LDAP:", __uuidof(IADsOpenDSObject), (void **)&pDSO); IDispatchPtr pDisp; pDSO->OpenDSObject(DNNAme, UserName, Password, DS_SECURE_AUTHENTICATION, &pDisp); DNNAme is created by translating domain name (it is like MyDepartment.MyCompany.com) from type ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL into type ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4 using IADsNameTranslate: IADsNameTranslate* spNto = NULL; CoCreateInstance(__uuidof(NameTranslate), NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof(IADsNameTranslate), (void **)&spNto); spNto->InitEx(ADS_NAME_INITTYPE_DOMAIN, bstr_t(psPath), NULL, NULL, NULL); bstr_t tmp = bstr_t(psPath)+ bstr_t("/"); spNto->Set(ADS_NAME_TYPE_CANONICAL, tmp); BSTR sServer; spNto->Get(ADS_NAME_TYPE_NT4, &sServer); < Them we remove trailing symbol "/" from sServer and append sServer to string "LDAP://"> As a result, the procedure above will generate string " LDAP://MyDepartment " from domain name "MyDepartment.MyCompany.com". This " LDAP://MyDepartment " will be passed into method IADsOpenDSObject: penDSObject. The method will work OK. The question is: why author of the code had to do such translation of domain name it is possible just append full domain name "MyDepartment.MyCompany.com" to "LDAP://" and pass " LDAP://MyDepartment.MyCompany.com " into IADsOpenDSObject: penDSObject. It will work OK too �C I tested it. But I have tested it only on one domain I have now; whereas my product will be distributed on various networks and domains.

    - Accessing variables/funcs of workflow1 class from custom activity I think i have solved my problem.Actually i was looking for something similar to what CodeActivity does.

    - Advise on creating Oracle Persistence Hi Mick, Great project. Are you planning to share the resulting persistence with the community I'd recommend you start with the file persistence service as a working implementation. And reimplement the functions step by step until you have the result you want. And let us know when you have some specific problems that we might be able to help with.

Our application needs to add the generic printer driver, and then add a printer that uses that driver. We have done this successfully on Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP, but on Vista we can't get past the security. Our code looks (essentially) like this:

DRIVER_INFO_8 driverInfo;
ZeroMemory( &driverInfo, sizeof( driverInfo ) );
driverInfo.cVersion = 3;
driverInfo.pDriverPath = "UNIDRV.DLL";
driverInfo.pConfigFile = "UNIDRVUI.DLL";
driverInfo.pDataFile = "TTY.GPD";
driverInfo.pHelpFile = "UNIDRV.HLP";
driverInfo.pDependentFiles = "TTYRES.DLL\0TTY.INI\0TTY.DLL\0TTYUI.DLL\0TTYUI.HLP\0UNIRES.DLL\0STDNAMES.GPD\0STDDTYPE.GDL\0STDSCHEM.GDL\0STDSCHMX.GDL\0";
driverInfo.pEnvironment = "Windows NT x86";
driverInfo.pszMfgName = "Generic";
driverInfo.pszProvider = "Microsoft";
driverInfo.pszPrintProcessor = "winprint";
driverInfo.pName = "Generic / Text Only";
driverInfo.pDefaultDataType = "RAW";
BOOL result = AddPrinterDriver( NULL, 8, (LPBYTE) &driverInfo );
DWORD err = GetLastError();

We're not sure how many of these attributes are necessary, but the call also fails with a minimal definition. The "result" is always FALSE and the "err" is 5 (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED). As administrators we appear to have SeLoadDriverPrivilege. All the required files exist in the default printer driver folder, as found using GetPrinterDriverDirectory().

Can anyone explain what we're doing wrong

Michael
