If the account is a local user account, try to use `.\username` when installutil prompts for the username and password.

The `.\` stands for local machine.

Services require a fully qualified username (with domain), so when installing you need to be explicit about local user accounts.

The account may also need to be given the &quot;Log on as a service&quot; account right; pass the `SE_SERVICE_LOGON_NAME` constant to the `LsaAddAccountRights()` API.

I solved this by changing *ServiceProcessInstaller.Account* to *LocalSystem*, and it works for me.




Here a weird one. 
I just upgrade to php 5.3.0 and since the upgrade I&#39;m getting the following warning:

&gt; Warning: getdate() [function.getdate]:
&gt; It is not safe to rely on the system&#39;s
&gt; timezone settings. You are *required*
&gt; to use the date.timezone setting or
&gt; the date_default_timezone_set()
&gt; function. In case you used any of
&gt; those methods and you are still
&gt; getting this warning, you most likely
&gt; misspelled the timezone identifier. We
&gt; selected &#39;America/Chicago&#39; for
&gt; &#39;CST/-6.0/no DST&#39;

After looking in various forums, everybody says that to solve the problem, all you have to do is edit the date zone in the php.ini and restart Apache.

It did not work for me. 

I tried  

    date.timezone=&quot;America/New_York&quot;
    
    date.timezone=America/New_York
    
    date.timezone=&quot;US/Central&quot;

Restarted apache after I made the change.

Since I still have the older version of php install, I even made sure that I&#39;m editing the php.ini that the current version of php uses at the time to load 

`/usr/local/php5/lib/php.ini`

Still getting the warning. 

Any suggestions? 

Thanks for taking the time.

In my container there are sections/boxes, but the last one of these boxes should follow scrolling *when none of the other boxes are visible*.

So, when user scrolls down, he sees a normal sidebar, but when user has went down enough, sidebar ends but the last box starts to follow on the top of the screen. I have seen this a lot on different kind of sites.

My code at the moment:

    $(window).scroll(function(){
    	$.each($(&#39;.follow-scroll&#39;),function(){
    		var eloffset = $(this).offset();
    		var windowpos = $(window).scrollTop();
    		if(windowpos&lt;eloffset.top) {
    			var finaldestination = 0;
    		} else {
    			var finaldestination = windowpos;
    		}
    		$(this).stop().animate({&#39;top&#39;:finaldestination},200);
    	});
    });

I have developed a windows service using C# and Visual&amp;nbsp;Studio&amp;nbsp;2008. I have [Windows&amp;nbsp;XP][1] SP2 installed on my machine. When I try to install the service using the *installutil* tool, after entering the username and password, I get the following error.

&gt; An exception occurred during the Install phase.
System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The account name is invalid or does not exist, or the password is invalid for the account name specified.

But the user does exist. I had created the user through control panel &amp;rarr; *User accounts* &amp;rarr; *Create new account*.

The command I used for installing the service was:

    installutil /i TestService.exe

How can I resolve the issue?

I am trying to cast `IList` type to `List` type but I am getting error every time.

    List&lt;SubProduct&gt; subProducts= Model.subproduct;

`Model.subproduct` returns `IList&lt;SubProduct&gt;`.

I want to iterate over the alphabet like so:

    foreach(char c in alphabet)
    {
     //do something with letter
    }

Is an array of chars the best way to do this? (feels hacky)

Edit: The metric is &quot;least typing to implement whilst still being readable and robust&quot;

I get a BindingFailure on a line of code using the XmlSerializer:

    XmlSerializer s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(CustomXMLSerializeObject));

&gt; The assembly with display name CustomXMLSerializeObject.XmlSerializers&#39; failed to load in the &#39;LoadFrom&#39; binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1. The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly XMLSerializeObject.XmlSerializers, Version=1.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null&#39; or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

The error is quite long and goes on to explain pre-bind state information and the places it looked to try and find the file.

The custom object I am trying to desrialize is relatively simple - just a bunch of private integers and strings that have public accessors.  I do have a private variable that is another custom serializeable class but that one has nothing but private strings with public accessors in it.

The awkward part?  This only happens when I deserialize.  That line of code runs fine when I serialize the object.  It works fine and the object gets deserialized and populated perfectly.  Don&#39;t really notice any loss of performance or long loading time.

What exactly is this warning (not an error or exception, program runs fine afterwards)?  Why does it happen?  How do I prevent it without simply disabling the warning?

I have a class implemented in C++ that&#39;s responsible for the arithmetic computation of the program, and an interface using WPF. I process the input with C# but then how can I use my C++ class?

I&#39;ve seen some comments about making a managed C++ wrapper class to interact with it, but I don&#39;t know where to start. Nor do I know how I&#39;d go to compile it along with all the other code. I can&#39;t really find a tutorial on this, and the stuff google shows on managed C++ doesn&#39;t really seem helpful.

Anything out there to help me out? This doesn&#39;t seem unreasonable to me.

**EDIT** Tried m3rLinEz solution but it&#39;s giving me a BadImageFormatException, I think it&#39;s because the DLL isn&#39;t generated. I did everything as told, I don&#39;t know what happened. Any ideas?

How do I call C++/CLI from C#?

I&#39;m trying to implement a C# web socket server, but its giving me a few troubles.
I&#39;m running a webserver(ASP.NET) to host the page with the javascript and the web socket server is implemented as a C# console application.

I&#39;m able to detect the connection attempt from the client (chrome running the javascript) and also to retrieve the handshake from the client. But the client doesn&#39;t seem to accept the handshake I&#39;m sending back (the `onopen` function on the web socket is never called).

I&#39;ve been reading the [The Web Socket protocol][1] and I can&#39;t see what I&#39;m doing wrong.
Heres a bit of the server code:

    Socket listener = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);
    IPEndPoint ep = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(&quot;127.0.0.1&quot;), 8181);
    listener.Bind(ep);
    listener.Listen(100);
    Console.WriteLine(&quot;Wainting for connection...&quot;);
    Socket socketForClient = listener.Accept();
    if (socketForClient.Connected)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(&quot;Client connected&quot;);
        NetworkStream networkStream = new NetworkStream(socketForClient);
        System.IO.StreamWriter streamWriter = new System.IO.StreamWriter(networkStream);
        System.IO.StreamReader streamReader = new System.IO.StreamReader(networkStream);
    
        //read handshake from client:
        Console.WriteLine(&quot;HANDSHAKING...&quot;);
        char[] shake = new char[255];
        streamReader.Read(shake, 0, 255);
    
        string handshake =
           &quot;HTTP/1.1 101 Web Socket Protocol Handshake\r\n&quot; +
           &quot;Upgrade: WebSocket\r\n&quot; +
           &quot;Connection: Upgrade\r\n&quot; +
           &quot;WebSocket-Origin: http://localhost:8080\r\n&quot; +
           &quot;WebSocket-Location: ws://localhost:8181\r\n&quot; +
           &quot;\r\n&quot;;
    
        streamWriter.Write(handshake);
        streamWriter.Flush();

I&#39;m running to web server on port 8080 and the web socket server on port 8181, both on my localhost.

I&#39;ve tried sending the handshake in different encodings (ASCII, bytes and Hex) but this doesn&#39;t seem to make a difference. The connection is never fully established.
The javascript looks like this:

    var ws;
    var host = &#39;ws://localhost:8181&#39;;
    debug(&quot;Connecting to &quot; + host + &quot; ...&quot;);
    try {
     ws = new WebSocket(host);
    } catch (err) {
     debug(err, &#39;error&#39;);
    }
    ws.onopen = function () {
     debug(&quot;connected...&quot;, &#39;success&#39;);
    };
    ws.onclose = function () {
     debug(&quot;Socket closed!&quot;, &#39;error&#39;);
    };
    ws.onmessage = function (evt) {
     debug(&#39;response: &#39; + evt, &#39;response&#39;);
    };

I&#39;m guessing that the error lies in the C# server as chrome is sending the information as it should, but as a said the `onopen` function is never called.

**So my question in short:**
Has any of you ever accomplished this - and if yes, how did you do it?
And of cause: Do you see any apparent errors in the code (hope thats not to much to ask)

Websocket server: onopen function on the web socket is never called

I am attempting to install a C# windows service project using a VisualStudio.Net deployment project.  

To run the deployment project I right-click and select &quot;install&quot; from the context menu, the install wizard runs and eventually prompts me with a &quot;Set Service Login&quot; dialog which asks for username &amp; password.  

When I install a service using the sc utility from the command line, I don&#39;t have to provide credentials.

Do I have to create a login just for this service?  I&#39;d prefer to use &quot;Local System&quot; or &quot;Network Service&quot; (not sure what the difference is) as other services do.

    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)

    {
    }

I attached a debugger to the above code in my windows service, setting a breakpoint in CurrentDomain_UnhandledException, but it was never hit. The exception pops up saying that it is unhandled, and then the service stops. I even tried putting some code in the event handler, in case it was getting optimized away.

Is this not the proper way to set up unhandled exception handling in a windows service?

I want to write a batch file that performs the following operations: 
 
 * Check if a service is running  
  * If is it running, quit the batch  
  * If it is not running, start the service  

The code samples I googled so far turned out not to be working, so I decided not to post them. 

Starting a service is done by:

    net start &quot;SERVICENAME&quot;

1. How can I check if a service is running, and how to make an if statement in a batchfile?  
2. I&#39;m a bit confused. What is the argument I have to pass onto the net start? The service name or its display name?

I have a WindowsService named, say, BST. And I need to give a non-Administrator user, UserA, the permissions to Start/Stop this particular service. My service runs on a variety of Windows OS, starting from Windows Server 2003 to Windows 7.

How can I do this?

I Googled and found some stuff about giving permissions using the command [sc sdset], but I am not exactly sure about the parameters. I do not want to set the permissions for a group, but ONLY to a particular user, UserA in this case.

Under Windows Server 2008 with ASP.NET 4.0 installed there is a whole slew of related user accounts, and I can&#39;t understand which one is which, how to they differ, and which one is REALLY the one that my app runs under. Here&#39;s a list:

- IIS_IUSRS 
- IUSR 
- DefaultAppPool
- ASP.NET v4.0 
- NETWORK_SERVICE 
- LOCAL SERVICE.

What is what?

The tool I develop needs to grant access rights &quot;Full Control&quot; to a file created by it. It needs to be read, modified and deleted from all windows accounts and even possible future accounts. Could this be achieved?

I know I can try this for a SPECIFIC_USER: 

    FileSystemAccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule(SPECIFIC_USER, FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow);
    FileSecurity fSecurity = File.GetAccessControl(filePath);
    fSecurity.SetAccessRule(rule);
    File.SetAccessControl(filePath, fSecurity);

But how do I grant it to all users? And even possible future accounts? If the latter part is not possible, how to go about the first requirement?

Thanks.

EDIT: 

This is the code which worked for me. Taken from the answerer&#39;s link.


    private void GrantAccess(string fullPath)
    {
        DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(fullPath);
        DirectorySecurity dSecurity = dInfo.GetAccessControl();
        dSecurity.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(
            new SecurityIdentifier(WellKnownSidType.WorldSid, null), 
            FileSystemRights.FullControl,
            InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit |
               InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit,
            PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit,
            AccessControlType.Allow));

        dInfo.SetAccessControl(dSecurity);
    }

Note the `PropagationFlags.NoPropagateInherit` which is required (mentioned towards the last in the link). It does grant privilege to even future accounts.

Can I create or manage a Facebook app via a &#39;business&#39; account?

When I try to access `https://developers.facebook.com/apps` when logged in as a business account it redirects me back to my homepage and won&#39;t let me create an app.

Context: A business / advertising account (sometimes called a &#39;gray account&#39;) is a special, now-deprecated type of account Facebook provided to advertisers to manage their Ads and Pages before [Business Manager](https://business.facebook.com) launched - the primary reason people want to use a business account with an App is to link the existing App to the Ad account so Ads can be driven to the application.

Is there any way to manage or create a Facebook app using a business / gray account?

I am running slitaz distro, and would like to completely remove the root password. I have tried giving a blank password to the `passwd` command, however that did not seem to do the trick. It gave me an error password was too short, ans it still asked me for a password when I ssh-ed in. The password was just hiting the &quot;Enter&quot; key.

**UPDATE:**  
Perhaps it has to do with the fact that slitaz uses dropbear for ssh? Because even with a blank password for root in `/etc/shadow`, it still prompts for a password.
