Loading properties file in MFC sample

Kruppy

Hi,
I cann't make it working for me: the way you load the config file in the MFC sample client application. The property->load operation throws the SysCallException. Is this problem about making the caller having read permissions (p. 27.8.4)? What I am missing here?
BTW, my client is MFC dll.
Thank you
Yuri

I am sorry, Mark, I've updated my signature and profile. The company I am working for is small one and currently does not have a web site.

As SyscallException usually indicates that the file can either not be found, or that you do not have permissions to read the file. I recommend to double-check the file path and permissions.

Thanks Marc,
the full file path worked for me...

Marc,
Anyways, let me ask again about saving properties: All I need is just a direction, I think. Just haven't done it. If it's still beyond the scope of support, then ok, thanks anyway...

One can save the list of props using config file as a storage and then re-use them using API, or it's just .txt or .ini file that should be used for storage along with functions like WritePrivateProfileString(..)?

Thank you

Use this function to get all properties from a property set (Ice::Properties):

    /**
     *
     * Get all properties whose keys begins with
     * <replaceable>prefix</replaceable>. If
     * <replaceable>prefix</replaceable> is an empty string,
     * then all properties are returned.
     *
     * @return The matching property set.
     *
     **/
    PropertyDict getPropertiesForPrefix(string prefix);

Then iterate over all properties and save them in a file.
