Hi,
i am using the com api of a program and if this program is shut down and
my program calls a method of the api, it crashs. that means, i need to
check, if the com server is still available, before i can call for it.
i already have a solution for this problem and it works quiet well, but
i think, it is not that nice. my solution works that way, that i create
a new thread, call a method of my com object and write back a value in
my main object. that means, if the method call fails, only the thread
crashes, not my whole program. if the method call succeeds, i can write
back my value in my main object and so i know, if the thread crashes or
not. the thing that is not nice about it is, that the thread remains in
the memory.
perhaps there is a possibility to kill this thread, but i would prefer a
solution that is more clean from the beginning. perhaps there is a
windows event that can tell me, wenn the other application, that hosts
the com server, is closed or perhaps i can do something with the guid of
the com server, maybe there is a call where i can check, if a certain
com server is available.
thank you for your help, Maier.

The server should not shut down while clients have outstanding
references to objects within it.

All running COM servers should be in the "Running Object Table"
(ROT). If you search the net for this term you will find code that can
show what is in the ROT, so there must be an API.

The Excel COM object has this behavior - if you call the Quit() method
or (if you're controlling an interactive instance) the excel window is
closed, further calls to the COM object will throw errors. I couldn't
find a solution to this other than to just make sure you didn't do
that. However, I didn't know about the ROT and maybe that will work. but i would prefer a

If only. The Microsoft Office applications seem to be the only ones in the
world that use the ROT.

Tell me if my assertion is wrong here:
The only way to prevent session hijacking is to NEVER store

Well, to never authenticate a user from information you got from the
session. Each secure app on a site must challenge the user for name
and password, each and every time the user accesses it (not just once
and then store it in the session). If a secure app is multi-page,...

Thought it might be a cool feature to allow my users to click a button,
and connect to a webpage that would tell them if a more recent version
was available.
I can create a button that opens a webpage but it would be nice if it
could compare what they have with what I say is available, so I can say
something like "You have version 1.2. Version 1.3 is now available".
Any ideas?

Hi All,
We have hundreds of images on our server. Depending on the ItemID (fetched
from database) we display the image to the client. For ex. if the ItemID is
20045 then, we display the image 20045.jpg
But for certain items, we don't have image. So, is it possible to check the
image is available or no on the server. So, if the image is not available
for certain item, then we want to display a default image for that item.

I have a linked list of structures with pointers point to each other.
I go through the list and use free() to free the structures one by one
previous allocated by malloc(). After I did the whole thing. I tried
to print the list again, it has exactly the same thing. Why I cannot
free them?
Sorry, I cannot post my huge program here.

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.
