Hello, I'm facing a strange problem which seems to be caused by some project settings within Visual Studio 2010. If I run into an unhandled exception, I used to get a standard window that shows the exception message plus some details (call chain, ...). For some reason this is missing in one of...

Sorry, probably I wasn't descriptive enough: The shortcuts ARE still within the "SendTo" folder, but they are NOT part of the "SendTo" menu!

Hello, since a while (can't say exactly since when) my "SendTo" menu contains just the standard entries (like "Desktop", "Mail recipient", "Floppy", ...). All additional shortcuts I placed into the "SendTo" folder are gone from the menu. This effect is independent from the user logged on, so it...

Hello, I would like to flip the rows and columns of a DataGridView without losing all the possibilities and strategies of this control (regarding the column data types, data binding and so on). I found nothing in this direction, does anybody have an idea how to make it work? Udo

Hello, I have 2 users set up, one administrator and one power user. Then I created a task to run at system startup with the administrator account entered in the "Run as" box, because the program started needs administrative rights. After a while the "Run as" user has automatically changed to...

There's still a problem remaining: I'm trying to reboot using the WMI method "Win32Shutdown". This works pretty fine as administrator, but in combination with the technique described above I get an exception "Class not registered". How to get around this? Udo

Thanks, that did it! A note for other people trying to work with this function: The user currently logged on needs to have the right "Act as part of the operating system" in the local security settings in order to execute the function "LogonUser".

Hello, I'm want to have my application run with non-admin users logged on. But sometimes I need administrative rights, e.g. to access write-protected registry areas. Assuming that the software knew about a local administrator's account info, is there a way to execute a process or function "as...

Hi, I have the following problem: I created a remote server that (beneath lots of other things) raises events to the connected clients. These events should make the client window being activated. Therefore I use the following line: AppActivate(Process.GetCurrentProcess.Id()) But it doesn't...

Hi, I'm facing the exact same problem. Has somebody found a solution meanwhile? Udo

I am facing the exact same problem. Have you come to a final solution?

public shared" doesn't help. The AppDomain class sounds interesting, but I'm absolutely not familiar with it. Could anybody give some more precise instruction how to make App1 share a class variable with App2? (i can make sure that App2 is started by App1) Udo
