Hi all.
Does anyone can suggest a good webpage or site, where I could read about how
to use IShellFolder interface in vb .net ?
E.g., I have added reference to IShellFolderEx_ TLB.dll, but what next?
How to pass ITEMIDLIST structures
to IShellFolder components? E.g., I have parsed a name to Parent
IShellfolder in order to get an ITEMIDLIST of subfolder, I get its's
pointer as PIDL of type IntPtr, but the BidToObject method requires first
variable as Integer, and such things as converting ItrPtr.ToInt32 produces
error. I need smth else for passing, but what?
How to manipulate overall with such structures as ITEMIDLIST in vb .net (I
mean extracting pidls using CopyMemory functions and so on)??
All the examples or advices I found in Internet are only for C++ or
acceptable only in VB5-VB6, not for vb.net
Thanks in advance.

That's a typelib made for VB6 isn't it? I wouldn't recommend using
that for a .NET application, it just complicates things. It's better
to declare the interfaces in managed code and take full advantage of
what the CLR marshaler can do for you.
but the BidToObject method requires first variable as Integer,
That's the kind of problems you avoid by not using the old typelib.
and such things as converting ItrPtr.ToInt32 produces error.
What error?

Usually you don't have to directly manipulate ITEMIDLISTs, just pass
around PIDLs. If you have to do it there are APIs for it. But
Marshal.Copy may also be useful.

Hi,
I am trying to pre-compile a project prior using ASP.Net 2.0, VS 2005, to
putting it onto a live server.
The reason for doing this is that other people have access to the server,
and I thereofre want to keep the code secure.
If I use the 'Build/Publish Web Site' option, it asks me to tell it the
'Target location' which in this case is 'C:\Temp\PrecompiledWeb\Project1'

I can't get this damned IEnumIDList thing to work correctly. I've got the

the display name etc. from it). I can also get a pointer to the IEnumIDList
object via. GetIEnum. It even allows me to execute the "Fetch" method on
the interface (changed from "Next" because next is a VB keyword - in any
case, its just a function pointer in the VTable). But COM_pIDL...

I'm building a web application using VS 2005. This application uses
Windows authentication to 'authenticate'. However, when I test it
(debug) via the VS 2005 built-in test server, it doesn't work. I.E. It
won't authenticate.
Is there a way to do Windows authentication using the built-in VS 2005
test server? Thanks in advance.

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,...
