What has to be done to create a new key in local_machine in the registry? I've given unlimited rights to my assembly, but that only gives me access to Current_User.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Although there are a few about VS .NET, you'll want to pick what language you'd like to learn, whether it be Visual Basic, C# or C++.
If you have no experience with VB then you'll probably have no problem with .NET's design, and as such should little trouble moving to VB.NET. Alternatively, you may choose to take a look at the C-style C# since this is being pushed quite heavily. It benefits from (in my opinion) a very clean syntax compare to either VB or C++.
C++ on the other hand provides the greatest flexibility, it is the only language that allows you to produce native code (i.e. non .NET), but also allows you to produce managed and unmanaged code in the same application. Managed refers to whether instances of objects on the managed heap are monitored by the Garbage Collector, unmanaged refers to those outside of the GC's control (and so you have to manually delete them as with traditional C++).
I started to use .NET with C# (primarily for ASP.NET web applications), and the odd Windows app, however, I've recently been using C++ and its actually been pretty good (if a little frustrating at times), take a look at my Email Validator Control for an example of C++.NET solution involving Win32 API calls, and also the Credit Card Validator control for an example of C# code.
Once you've chosen a language you'll be able to get a book that covers it. For C++ I'd recommend Developing Applications with Visual Studio .NET by Richard Grimes (of many ATL books fame ). I'm not aware of many other books, but if you want to get into C# development (specifically windows rich clients) then Charles Petzold's weight tome is also pretty good.

It's called Programming Windows with C#, I think, and he's also now translated it into Visual Basic .NET, if you prefer that.

IMHO a lot of so-called .NET books these days are fluff useless marketing. You get nothing but a biased view. And there are so many new topics to be covered that the book is either 10000 pages or it is just 800 and 1000 pages (in this case, this is not enough to cover thoroughly a SINGLE topic).
I would recommend the MSDN doc itself, now that MS has figured out they had to publish tutorials to help us developers embrace the new framework. The tutorials I am talking about is not what is known as the quickstart in the docs. I am really talking about the tutorials.
And also quite of note are the samples on the VS.NET cd. Amazing, and even almost not even mentioned in the docs...

Hi
I have a web control for which I am using a Designer that is derived from
System.Web.UI.Design.ReadWriteControlDesigner.
Now at Runtime I can hide certain controls using the Visible property -
however I cannot determine how to hide controls
programmatically during Design time ie so that they do not show up in the
Visual Studio Design window in HTML view.
I've overridden Render() in my Control class and GetDesignTimeHtml() in my
Designer class but its all to no avail.
Please can you assist me.

I created a simple app (Localization1) with form (Form1). I want to add russian localization to this application after the compilation. I set Localizable property to True in Form1. In my main function I typed Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("ru-RU"). After it I copied Form1.resx to Form1.ru.resx, launched "winres.exe Form1.ru.resx" and translated all I need. After it I called "resgen.exe Form1.ru.resx" that created Form1.ru.resources. Then I called "al /t:lib /embed:Form1.ru.resources /culture:ru /out:Localization1.resources.dll /template:bin\debug\Localization1.exe". This command generated Localization1.resources.dll. I copied it to my bin\debug\ru folder and launched Localization1.exe, but it ramains in english locale. What's wrong?
Thanks. Nikita Shamgunov.

Try to use the code below
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new CultureInfo("ru").

Hi.
How can I determine the amount of free space and total amount of space at a drive using the .NET classes?

usage :

GetDiskFreeSpaceEx(@"c:\\tmp", out freebytes, out totalbytes, out totalfreebytes);

Just curious; any particular reason you are using Int64 instead of long? So far I haven't had to deal with a situation where I needed a 64 bit number so please enlighten me of any problems

No problem until now. I want to make sure those who use interop functions such like GetFreeDiskSpaceEx know that the result is not 32 bits. You probably know that GetFreeDiskSpace() raised a lot of problems for us 32-(bit people, as this API method was there before huge drives came in the market.

I attempted to use this function in J# but the compiler issues this message:
'Cannot resolve name 'System.Runtime.InteropServices'
How can I solve this problem?

try
import System.Runtime.*;
From an MSDN doc I have just seen, this looks like the right syntax.

I am trying to configure my firewall to allow access to my .NET remoting application. I set my firewall to route tcp traffic on a particular port to my internal PC. This works fine for instance if I run a web server on my machine (port 80) but I cannot get my .NET remoting server exposed. My port scanner says the correct port is open. I am simply opening up port n to TCP traffic. ANy suggestions?

Your link didn't seem to point to a relevant thread. My server is a simple server with no call backs to the client. I thought that if you configure the server to listen on one port that would be all it needed. If it needs more ports, how do I know which ones.
Thanks - Joel

Just to see what happening (if anything similar to this) try opening up a command window on the server and run netstat to show you a listing of all the TCP connections.
Hit your service and then see if there are any connection attempts outwards on another port.

I found the problem and it has nothing to do with open ports. When using CAO in remoting, the server sends the IP of the server back to the client which it then uses to get back to the server. When using a firewall, the IP sent to the client will often be the internal IP which is not the IP that the client can use to get back to the server. So you have to override this in the config file for the server with something like:
<channel ref="tcp" port="5555" machinename="firewall.something.com">

I need to add an Outlook toolbar to a .NET form? Does .NET come with such a feature? If not is there a free way to do this or must a component be purchased? If a componentmust be purchased does anyone recommend one for C++ .NET forms?
Many Thanks,

Has anyone else had problems trying to attach on to a web service while your IE proxy setting sare set up for auto-discovery and to use a configuration script?
It seem sthat I have to set my proxy settings for an explicit proxy server address in order to use any webservice.
