Hi,
I have a tool which is made in C and uses the API GetUserName(). But we have the problem as the user says it gives incorrect username "sometimes" .
When the failure occurs, the username. that is retrieved is a valid but one not belonging to the logged on user. For example the staff number retrieved is 04982479, but when a failure occurs with the same user, instead of retrieving 04982479, another (valid) username is returned.
Is there anyt other API which I can use so as that logon name can be retrieved.?
Please help,
regards,
Venu

HI Raghu,
Yes I did, MSDN talks something like this, "If the current thread is impersonating another client, the GetUserName function returns the user name of the client that the thread is impersonating."
My tools runs only on windows. I need an alternative to this API for windows only. Could you please suggest me any ?

Hi everyone,
In VB.NET, is getting the network username still the same as VB 6.0, i.e.
using the the following API:
Private Declare Function GetUserName Lib "advapi32.dll" Alias "GetUserNameA"
(ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByRef nSize As Integer) As Integer
Or, is there a way to do this using the .NET Framewrork?
Thanks!

I tried for an hour to find some reference to concrete information on
why this particular inheritance implementation is a bad idea, but
couldn't. So I'm sorry if this has been answered before. Here's the
scenario:
We have a base class with all virtual functions. We'll call this the
Animal class. We then make two classes Fish and Bird that both inherit
from Animal. In the program, we have a single array of Animal pointers

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
