Vanara

Additions

• Added ResourceIdOrHandle to represent a resource string, id or handle union
• Modified PROPSHEETHEADER to use ResourceId and ResourceIdOrHandle for fields that can be different resource types.
• Added TokenMandatoryPolicy enum for use by TOKEN_MANDATORY_POLICY
• Added almost all functions from wintrust.dll
• Added all functions and interfaces from OleAut32.dll except the specific VARIANT conversions

Fixes

• Fix to prevent exceptions when both extended and basic limits are set on a job. (#70)
• XML Comment corrections (bad params, bad refs, bad syntax).
• BREAKING CHANGE: moved interfaces and VARIANT from oaidl.h into Vanara.PInvoke.OleAut32 from Ole32 as they are actually hosted there. This required some changes to supporting code.

Additions

• Added SafeAnysizeStruct to help marshal structures with a 1-element field at the end that can be variable size. Adjusted all structs of this type to use this to marshal along with tests and supported classes.
• BREAKING CHANGE: The above forced the removal of PTOKEN_PRIVILEGES as that functionality is now in a shared marshaling class.
• Added IMarshalDirective interface as a means for IntPtrConverter.Convert to handle odd marshal behavior
• Added copy constructor to SafeMemoryHandle and consolidated initialization
• Added SafeAllocatedMemoryHandle.TakeOwnership method to take control of the allocated memory.
• Added all codes, enums and many (#67) structures from winioctl.h
• Added all the typelib interfaces from Shell32.dll
• All the CSIDL* and SID_S* constants have been added.
• First pass at adding support for Windows Search to Vanara.Windows.Shell
• Added IEnumUnknown generics implementation
• Added a generic IEnumerator implementation

Fixes

• Fixed unterminated string bug in LSA_UNICODE_STRING.ToString and implicit operator.
• Fixed parameters in SHCreateShellItemArray
• Fixed marshal parameter on ICondition::GetSubConditions
• Updated attributes and some parameters in IShellWindows
• Fixed condition on IEnumFromCom where TryGet looped forever.
• Fixed bug and docs for Enumerate method
• Fixed condition where IEnumIDList is not implemented (#68)

Changes

• Separated out Virtual Storage (Vanara.VirtualDisk) and BITS (Vanara.BITS) wrappers into their own packages for easier consumption.

Additions

• Added .NET friendly wrappers for Job Objects and I/O Completion Ports with tests.
• Added Process.StartEx extension method to allow for passing CreateProcess flags.
• Added IUserHandle reference to all user object handles.
• Added property to GROUP_AFFINITY to make it easier to get/set the list of affinitized processors.
• Added support for PROCESS_MEMORY_COUNTERS_EX in GetProcessMemoryInfo
• Added ObjectSecurity for pre .NET 4.0 builds

Fixes

• Fixed bug #66 that forces all SafeMemString string representations to Empty when a size not known (like as a return value from a COM object).

Additions

• Support for .NET Core 3.0 in all projects!!
• All GDI32.dll functions for drawing and device info (missing DDI & printer calls still)
• Updated all NuGet dependencies.

Fixes

• EnumExtensions.BitPosition logic
• SafeAllocatedMemoryHandle.ToString - added offset param from base

• Added KtmW32.dll and Pdh.dll supporting assemblies with 100% of functions implemented.
• Added new Vanara.Library metapackage that pulls in all Vanara packages.
• Completed adding functions with unit tests from wininet.dll to Vanara.PInvoke.WinInet.
• Completed adding functions from vertdll.dll to Vanara.PInvoke.Kernel32.
• Completed adding functions from ncrypt.dll to Vanara.PInvoke.Cryptography.
• Completed adding functions from ole32.dll and propsys.dll to Vanara.PInvoke.Ole.
• Enhanced testing support classes and moved all static file references to single class.
• Extended error structures with FormatMessage to get their descriptive text.
• Added IDisposable to ISafeMemoryHandle so it can be used instead of abstract SafeAllocatedMemoryHandle.
• BREAKING: Moved reflection extension methods that extend object to special namespace Vanara.Extensions.Reflection to Intellisense isn't crowded with them.

Too many changes to document them all, but here are the highlights:

• Rework of memory reading and writing extension methods and core classes to provide more safety and bounds checking.
• Addition of wer.dll support with Vanara.PInvoke.Wer assembly.
• Removal of the Vanara.PInvoke.User32.Gdi assembly after combining all its functions into Vanara.PInvoke.User32.
• Added support for .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Core 2.0 and 2.1 builds to all but Vanara.Windows.Shell and Vanara.Windows.Forms.
• Complete, that is every single function, unit testing for kernel32.dll, advapi32.dll, authz.dll, schannel.dll, and secur32.dll P/Invoke methods in their respective assemblies. If you need help on using those functions, check the unit tests as I ended up doing a lot of research to get some of them to work.
• Moved some extension methods to sub namespaces to avoid Intellisense showing you many functions for every object.
• Added DebuggerDisplay attributes to many of the support objects for easier debugging.
• Added many extension methods, struct constructors, safe handle classes, and documentation to make coding with P/Invoke more pleasant and less error prone.

Additions

• Added part of WinTrust.dll
• Added remainder of AdvApi32.dll - now 100% (2.3.10)
• Added multiple SafeXX functions to support structures that need to release memory
• Added ACCESS_MASK and converted some parameters and fields from UInt32
• Added LCID and converted some parameters and fields from UInt32

Fixes

• Fixed multiple structures (CREDENTIAL, INSTALLSPEC, WAITCHAIN_NODE_INFO, WINTRUST_DATA, KNOWNFOLDER_DEFINITION, and others) so they marshal correctly
• Fixed FormatMessage implementation for all use cases
• Fixed SafeNativeArray insert bug
• Fixed OBJECT_TYPE_LIST constructor bug
• Fixed SetupOverlappedFunction so it doesn't fail binding the handle if already bound

Additions

• Changed ACCESS_MASK to smart structure (2.3.8)
• Completed work on Vanara.PInvoke.Security additions (2.3.8)
• New Vanara.PInvoke.Accessibility to capture Windows Accessibility functions and interfaces
• New Vanara.PInvoke.SearchApi to capture Windows Search functions and interfaces
• .NET IStream for COM IStream wrapper
• IBindCtx__V__ to improve on .NET version of IBindCtx
• Get/SetField extension methods
• Schannel.dll support added in Vanara.PInvoke.Security

Fixes

• Fixed DeviceIOControlAsync (2.3.8) (#47)
• Fixed and improved SafeNativeArray
• ByteSizeFormatter fixed
• Shell.PropertyStore is no longer locking (#49)
• Debug Api struct alignment fixed (#50)

Additions:

• Completed addition of all functions for IpHlpApi.dll
• Added WinSock2 functions
• Added class to handle linked list of native structures in memory (SafeNativeLinkedList)

Fixes:

• Numerous methods and helper methods to Vanara.PInvoke.Security
• NativeMemoryStream as a safer way to read and write contiguous native memory

Fixes and Changes

• Lots of fixes and improvements on Vanara.Core methods to provide memory safety and better usability
• Enhanced IntPtrConverter
• Fixed big problem with SafeAllocatedMemoryHandle derivitives where it didn't zero out memory on allocation and overwrote memory on reallocation/resizing
• Breaking Change: Converted all methods of interfaces in AclUI project to use HRESULT returns instead of PreserveSig attributes to allow for greater control and fewer exceptions in derived implementations
• Breaking Change: Changed OBJECT_TYPE_LIST to unsafe struct with a Guid* field to prevent memory leaks
• Breaking Change: Removed some methods from Vanara.Security.AccessControl.AccessControlHelper that would cause memory overrun problems due to incorrect assumption about ACE layout
