I have an issue in my Windows Service Application, I have a scenario where I need to fetch a file path using a DLL(provided by the Client). For the purpose of faster debugging I have created a Console Application where the following code worked fine
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(System.Security.Principal.PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal)
_objAoApplication = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetTypeFromProgID("AOLib6.Application"))
_strAoLastCompany = _objAoApplication.GetLastCompanyFile
But when I created the same as a Window Service _strAoLastCompany is getting an Empty String which is not desired.
Can anyone suggest me how do i get started

Edit:
As of 3/21/2017, even after upgrading from Azure client SDK version 2 to 3.0.1, this is still a problem. So... bump.
I have an Azure Mobile App with custom authentication. I am developing a client for iOS and a client for Windows (VB.NET WinForms).
On iOS, everything works just fine. Registration and Login work, and also a standard API call.
On WinForms, all of the pieces works fine, just not exactly when and how I want (i.e., not all of the time).
Registration works.
Login works.
Standard API call works.
What doesn't work is the standard API call after a Login event.
I have put a console.log() line in my API code, and in all cases, it gets to the line just before the res.json() finishing call.
Here's how I am assigning my user to the client in iOS:
NSString *token = dict[#"token"];
NSString *userId = dict[#"userId"];
MSUser *user = [[MSUser alloc] initWithUserId:userId];
[user setMobileServiceAuthenticationToken:token];
client.currentUser = user;
Here's how I am assigning my user to the client in VB.NET:
Dim token = result.Item("token")
Dim userId = result.Item("userId")
Dim user As New MobileServiceUser(userId)
user.MobileServiceAuthenticationToken = token
MobileService.CurrentUser = user
So, the standard workflow is as follows:
User logs in
Program calls standard API method
On iOS, this works flawlessly. I see the log entry on the API output and it immediately returns the correct information to the iOS app.
On Windows.NET, the following 2 scenarios exist:
If I skip the login process and just call the standard API method (which has been set to access "anonymous"), it works.
If I force the login process and then call the standard API method, the code just hangs forever. The log entry does show up on the API output, but waiting several minutes on the .NET debugger yields no output and no error message. It's just (apparently) hung indefinitely.
So, from what I can tell, the following statements apply:
The API code seems to run the same way every time, no matter which platform is calling the code.
The iOS code seems to run correctly.
Logging in always seems to go fine on either platform.
The .NET code runs fine if the *.json permissions are "anonymous" and no Login attempt has been made.
The .NET code breaks (i.e., hangs indefinitely) if the standard API call is sent after logging in.
This would seem, then, to be related to something happening to the MobileServiceClient during my LoginWithResult method. But, from what I can see, it's the EXACT same code (effectively) on both iOS and Windows.
Does anybody see a flaw in my thinking or code?
UPDATED QUESTION:
A simple client-side HTTP.get() call is not working on the iOS emulator. The same call is fetching data and its displaying perfectly in my templates in the browser (localhost:3000)
Earlier I thought this got to do with local collections, but the problem is actually with the HTTP.get call which is not returning any data within cordova (ios emulator or device).
Please note that my entire code is only on the client if (Meteor.isClient) {} and nothing in if (Meteor.isCordova) {}.
ORIGINAL QUESTION: Is it possible to define a local collection in Cordova (Meteor 0.9.3)?
I have a local(client-only) collection in my app as shown:
Items = new Meteor.Collection(null);
This local collection temporarily gets data from an external API ( by adding 'meteor add http' and using HTTP.get() ) and this content is pushed to the templates. This is appearing perfectly in the browser templates on localhost:3000 through the helpers ( return Items.find() ), but when I run 'meteor run ios', the data is not loading up in the iOS simulator.
First of all, is it even possible to expect a local collection to work within Cordova?
Should this be defined inside:
Meteor.isCordova({ })?
Does it require a cordova-specific package to be added?
I believe a local collection is necessary in this case because the data is retrieved based on the user's device location and its relevant only for the current session.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
(meteor noob here, sorry if this sounds stupid!)
EDIT: Collections defined both on the server and client are working in the browser as well as on iOS emulator. So the problem is only with local collections.

You're indeed right! Its the CORS issue on the server to which I was making the API call.
After a couple of days of breaking my head, I eventually figured out the server did not have Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * for simple GET/POST requests.
Thanks for your help in figuring this out.
So it turns out Cordova has nothing to do with this. All HTTP.get() calls are working perfectly from within Cordova too including local collections.
There's one more trick to be aware of.
HTTP.get('/route') will likely end up in the phones local server instead of the remote server the data comes from - so you wont be receiving the data you'd expect.
Instead use
HTTP.get(__meteor_runtime_config__.ROOT_URL + '/route')
Because the ROOT_URL variable points to the correct server in both Cordova apps and normal browsers.
I've been having a heck of a time trying to get this to work. I wrote both a service and a form application in VB.NET, both of which need to access a registry key to locate a computer that has my database on it. In the forms app it works great, but the service does not. I thought it was a permissions problem so I checked permissions on the server (Windows 2008) and they were fine - I even went as far as to run the service as the admin in case that was the problem but still no joy. Is there something wrong with my code?
I have tried ways to access the registry. The first method just sets the server variable to nothing and the second method the 'rk' variable ends up being nothing (telling me that it cannot even locate the sub key):
Dim server As String = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EPS\XPV", "Server", Nothing)
and the second one is:
Dim rk As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("\SOFTWARE\EPS\XPV")
The service itself starts up just fine because I'm getting my log messages right after these lines that tell me the value is blank so it just comes down to figuring out why I cannot access the registry in the service even though I can in the forms app.
Either look under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node for your keys/values, or compile your application as 64bit.
First let me start by saying I'm sorry if I posted this question in the wrong place. I saw the entry at Object already exists in RSACryptoServiceProvider. I tried the solutions offered there. But, they did not solve my issue. Also, I didn't see an option to re-ask the question.
I have almost the same issue. I have a class that uses RSACryptoServiceProvider that runs in two projects on the same machine and under the same account. Both projects live in the same solution and share the same encryption code. One project, the server, is a Windows service and the other, the client, is a Windows application. They use the RSACryptoServiceProvider to talk to each other over a named pipe using asymmetric encryption. I started out by just having the server run in another Windows form within the same application as the client. Everything ran fine. Then, I moved the server to a Windows service.
The Windows service starts up fine. It seems to be able to create it's instance of the RSACryptoServiceProvider fine. But, when the client, which runs in the Windows application, starts up it gets a runtime error when it tries to create it. Here is the code that runs in both projects.
rule = New CryptoKeyAccessRule("everyone", CryptoKeyRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow)
csp = New CspParameters
csp.KeyContainerName = _KeyContainerName
csp.Flags = CspProviderFlags.UseMachineKeyStore
csp.CryptoKeySecurity = New CryptoKeySecurity()
csp.CryptoKeySecurity.SetAccessRule(rule)
//Object already exists exception happens here
rsa = New RSACryptoServiceProvider(_KeySize, csp)
As you can see, I have the code that sets the access rule as mentioned in the other post on this subject. Unfortunately, this did not solve my issue. Is there anything else that needs to change?
I have an application which creates a MAPI profile to send mails/messages. The profile is getting created properly on Outlook2007 environment, but it is not getting created properly on Outlook2007 SP2 environment. Both the source code and "exchange environment to which MAPI/outlook profile" are same. The profile is created using MAPI subsystem.
Description about the application: The application is a windows service-based application. The service executes a COM application. The COM application spawns a new thread to create a new profile and sends a sample message.
Actual problem: During the profile creation, the call to the ConfigureMsgService function (that belongs to IMsgServiceAdmin) is not working properly even though it returns S_OK. The value for the 5th parameter "lpProps" of ConfigureMsgService function is given below.
// First, the mailbox name.
ZeroMemory(&rgval[0], sizeof(SPropValue) );
rgval[0].ulPropTag = PR_PROFILE_UNRESOLVED_NAME;
rgval[0].Value.lpszA = szMailbox;
// Next, the server name.
ZeroMemory(&rgval[1], sizeof(SPropValue) );
rgval[1].ulPropTag = PR_PROFILE_UNRESOLVED_SERVER;
rgval[1].Value.lpszA = szServer;
// For NT Services, need to do this to keep MAPI from
// displaying dialog boxes.
ZeroMemory(&rgval[2], sizeof(SPropValue) );
rgval[2].ulPropTag = PR_CONVERSION_PROHIBITED; //As the com application is executed by the NT service, this parameter is specified.
rgval[2].Value.b = TRUE;
Also note, prior to ConfigureMsgService function call, all the other MAPI calls such as MAPIInitialize, MAPIAdminProfiles, CreateProfile, AdminServices, CreateMsgService, GetMsgServiceTable etc are succeeded.
My question, the same code was working properly with Outlook 2007 environment, but it failed in Outlook 2007 SP2 environment.
Please note,
1. when the same code is executed from a stand-alone application, it worked fine.
2. The code didn't work properly if the service is executed as a Local System account or as a network service account.
What could be the problem? Am I missing some thing.
Is there any work-around is available?
Thanks in advance

Your problem is in #2 of your note:
Please note, 1. when the same code is
executed from a stand-alone
application, it worked fine. 2. The
code didn't work properly if the
service is executed as a Local System
account or as a network service
account.
MAPI profiles are stored in the current user's hive* in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_USERS{user SID}). The system accounts (LocalSystem and NetworkService) don't present a user hive which MAPI needs to write the profile information.
The easiest fix is to have your service run under a user account which has been granted the Log On As Service right. Depending on how your COM app is run as (in proc vs out of proc) you may be able to have it run as a specific user instead of a system account.
*Hive is the term used for the different sections of the registry. Here we're just dealing with the user's own section of the registry.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried your idea, but it doesn't worked. I spoke to Microsoft in this case, they have provided a fix for this issue(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972363), it fixed it.
