Impossible C# wrapper for COM?

Is is true that it's impossible to write a C# wrapper for an IDispatch COM
object that has more than one property with parameters?

I tried everything I could think of and nothing works. You can only use the
this[] indexer for one parametrized parameter. If this is true, anyone knows
if this limitation has been lifted in 2.0?

It also appears to be a bug in the proxy that marshals calls to the COM
interface is unable to call IDispatch::Invo ke using DISPATCH_PROPER TYGET and
always uses DISPATCH_INVOKE . This may be the reason why it's impossible to
wrap parametrized properties in C#. Using a dynamic invoke with
Type.InvokeMemb er() and BindingFlags.Ge tProperty works.

Tblimp.exe generates IL directly using constructs that are not valid if
reversed back to C#.

Kind regards,
Luca

I'm just throwing this question out here as there hasn't been much discussion recently on the topic of shared hosting. Most people, it seems, just assume that it's secured. Companies don't sell services that's insecured by design, right? Those of us who know better know, of course, that that's not the case. Two main challenges of sharing a server with other people are hiding your database login/password and securing session files. Both...

Is there any way to create transparent wrapper objects in Python?

I am trying to write a Wrapper for our web wrapping engine, Cameleon. Currently Cameleon is able to answer certain SQL queries but with a restriction that all SQL queries must have a predicate. This is very similar to the BLAST wrapper. For example, Cameleon can answer queries like this by accessing Yahoo's IBM finance webpage Select Headlines, LastTrade From yahoo where Ticker='IBM' However, this query is meaningless if the predicate...

Hi! Here is the problem: I'd like to restrict local filesystem stream operations to one directory just like a root jail. fopen('/file.bin') would actually open /some/path/file.bin. One goal of this behavior is to prevent Xinclude instructions to point to "out of application directory" files when processed by the XSLT processor, among other things.

I have a layout that I can not seem to make work. Using a float:right, I can get the numbered items to wrap as desired around "rightdiv". The problem is, this is a dynamic list, and "5" shouldn't come before "4" in the list. I also want "6" to be aligned left. So basically, I really want the items to be floated left, but if I apply a left float, the wrapping looks like crap. "rightdiv" can have varying heights, so using a fixed margin on...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
