kandi X-RAY | Vanara Summary

Vanara is a C# library typically used in Devops applications. Vanara has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has medium support. You can download it from GitHub.

This project contains various .NET assemblies that contain P/Invoke functions, interfaces, enums and structures from Windows libraries. Each assembly is associated with one or a few tightly related libraries. For example, Shlwapi.dll has all the exported functions from shlwapi.lib; Kernel32.dll has all for both kernel32.lib and kernelbase.lib. All assemblies are available via NuGet and provide builds against .NET 2.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, Core 3.0, Core 3.1 and .NET 5.0 (new in v3.2.20) and support SourceLink. In all cases where a dependency doesn't disallow it, .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 2.0, and 2.1 builds are also included for use with UWP and other .NET Core and Standard projects. This project releases new versions every few weeks after sufficient testing. New releases are cataloged, along with release notes, in the Releases section and all NuGet packages are published to nuget.org. Each GitHub push triggers an AppVeyor build. The owners thank them for the free Open-Source account! The status of that build is in the header of this page. The NuGet packages from those builds are available for test purposes on AppVeyor's project NuGet source at

LookupAccountSid() throws System.AccessViolationException on Server 2016

How to properly save an HICON from an IMAGELIST as an image file

QUESTION

LookupAccountSid() throws System.AccessViolationException on Server 2016

Asked 2020-Dec-09 at 15:15

I use pinvoke implementations of LookupAccountSid in managed C# code for several years.

On a German Windows Server 2016 it starts throwing an System.AccessViolationException when resolving S-1-5-11 (Authenticated users) where the German name is: "NT-Authorität\Authentifizierte Benutzer".

I tested 3 different impementations to rule out an pinvoke error. They all throw at the same call.

From the github vanara project and my discussion with the author
First SO implementation
Second SO implementation where I can't find the source at the moment.

They all throw the same exception so it may be a general problem in the api. Probably because of the umlaut Ä in the name?

This question sounds similar but this is not the problem I face.

My expirience in earlier projects

I used the implementation from (2.) years ago in a Windodws 7 / Server 2008 environment without any problems, but unfortunatelly I currently have no such systems to verify my recent code.

My issue :

I only noticed this problem on the images of folders with subfolders / subfiles.

My attempt :

Code background:

I'm using Vanara to help me with PInvoke calls and a lot more.
The HIMAGELISTcome from a ListView using the ListViewMessage:LVM_GETIMAGELIST.

As I am stubborn I insisted with the IMAGELIST of the desktop listview.

I managed to get the icons / thumbnails from it. By drawing them in a in-memory device context.

No more glitched images.
