Visual Studio - "browse files" window not responding in any case + closes Visual Studio
Hello I'm using Visual Studio 2022 professsional.
I have problem with all things which uses window for "browsing files" to select e.g. location of the new project or adding existing project to solution.
The window typically looks like you want to save something in notepad as "save as".
Issue is that the window is not responding from the beginning after it pop ups, and after couple of seconds it closes the whole Visual Studio without any error message.
What I've tried:
- delete things related to VS from
%appdata%,
- update the Visual Studio,
- update & disable extensions in VS,
- trying to repair the installation from the VS Installer,
- reinstall Visual Studio.
Nothing helps and I'm irritated, because I can't do anything now 😦17 replies
Desktop app on Windows - inter process communication / permissions problem.
Hello, I need to build an app which must "copy" files from NFS/SMB share.
Requirements:
- GUI for the User, so I have chosen WPF: User will have listed specific "available" packages(list of dirs, files within it) from this share and will be able to "download" it to his local computer.
I'll skip how does the package is constructed, but I have a problem with permissions.
Directories on local disk have some AD groups assigned to security policy, it means that the App should be run as a Service User - different one than the GUI, because "normal" users don't have permissions to do some changes within directories on the disk.
So the problem is... I need to build probably 2 applications - 1 as a Windows Service and 2nd as a WPF(GUI).
I don't know exactly how I can construct any communication between those two "processes"...
I've tested a WCF hosted on Windows Service(named pipes) and I don't know if it's good approach, because I wan't two-way communication.
Do I select correct communication type? I want to present f.e. a progress of copying a package to User, so somehow I need to call some methods within WCF when previously I've called a "copy" method.
I read plenty of tutorials, stack topics but all of them are basic and I can't "breakthrough" with my blocking points.
