Convert CString to std::string and vice versa

// convert from std:string to CString

CString errorMsg'

std::string encodeError = "Error 01";

errorMsg = CString(encodeError.c_str());

// convert from CString to std:string

CString csData = "f1db14dfa5d54f0b";

std::string ssData((LPCTSTR)csData);

Convert CString to char array

Again, when use CString, remember to include afxwin.h

char csRoom [20];

BSTR sRoom = "102";

CString myString1(sRoom);

strcpy(csRoom,myString1);

now, value from CString copied to char array

Convert BSTR to CString

When use CString, remember to include afxwin.h in your header.

BSTR sComPortNumber = "COM1";

//declare CString csComPortNumber and convert BSTR cComPortNumber to CString

CString csComPortNumber(sComPortNumber);

DONE.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework

________________________________________________________

Solution:

For my case, the reason hit above error is because.NET Framework was installed before IIS server. To solve the problem, register .NET framework to IIS will do.

How to do that? (please be aware that the sample using for.NET Framework V1.0)

Steps:

1. Click on Start -> Run

2. Type in cmd and click OK





3. Command prompt screen will appear. go to"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" folder by using command cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 and hit enter. Please refer screen below:

4. Type in aspnet_regiis -i and hit enter.

5. Screen below will be shown and dotnet user installed.

aspnet_regiis -i

alternatively you can copy and paste this command into windows command prompt

%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Ping a port

Well, sometimes we need to know whether the port in open or block, we need to do some checking or troubleshoot through ping/telnet. We cannot ping a IP with port but we can telnet certain IP together with Port no.

For example:
Go to open command prompt, if we want to check whether port 21 is working for IP 203.166.87.9 what we need to do is
> telnet 203.166.87.9 21

please tell me it's work. thanks

Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependenci

Deploy a web application that uses crystal report basic 10.5 and hit below error when try to access to the application.

"Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecisions.Web, Version=10.5.3700.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=692fbea5521e1304' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

This is because we dont have crystal report basic runtime installed in the server.

Where do I get the basic (10.5) runtime? It's on your machine:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5

My server is a 32 bit machine, so i install CRRedist2008_x86.msi in the machine.

Now what? I still can the same error? Wait, we need to restart the IIS to make it work. After restart the IIS, it's work perfectly.

STOP: c000021a (Fatal System error) The windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status 0xc0000005

I hit below error/blue screen when trying to install MSSQL 2005 Express in a Microsoft XP pro SP2 machine:

STOP: c000021a (Fatal System error)
The windows subsystem system process terminated unexpectedly with a status 0xc0000005 (0x7c9106c3 0x0053ec24)

Try for 3 times to reinstall windows and no luck. Hit the same error when installing MSSQL 2005 Express.

Finally found an forum
http://blogs.msdn.com/petersad/archive/2009/01/20/sql-server-2005-sp3-sql-server-2005-sp2-cus-or-sql-server-2008-may-cause-xp-sp2-to-restart.aspx

And hotfix in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943232

We have to register our email and the hotfix link come with password with send to our email.

After apply both hotfix. My problem solved.
