I'm trying to copy files from a network stream to the local disk (with C#). I want to use the IFileOperation interface to get the modern copy UI, however I'm not sure how to get an IShellItem for a file that does not yet exist.
Currently I'm using the older IOperationsProgressDialog, which does work, however I'm wanting the Shell to deal with asking the user to overwrite files, permission issues, etc.
How do I create an IShellItem from an IStream to use in IFileOperation::Copy()?
IShellItem is a high level abstraction that's implemented by the Shell to avoid dealing with old interfaces like IShellFolder (which are not easy to work with). The problem is if you want to create a "virtual" one, you do need an IShellFolder somehow.
That's what the code below does, creates a simple IShellFolder implementation just to ensure the Shell can create a "virtual" IShellItem over it.
Exemple of console app (note the STAThread mandatory for IFileOperation to work)
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
// prepare an item with a name
var size = 50 * 200000;
var item = new VirtualItem("test.txt", size, new DateTime(1966, 3, 24));
item.Read += (s, e) =>
{
if (size == 0) // finished?
return;
// in this sample, we dont put anything in the buffer
// we just wait to force the Shell progress dialog to show
var written = Math.Min(e.Bytes.Length, size);
e.Written = written;
Thread.Sleep(100);
size -= written;
};
// get source item as an IShellItem
ShellNative.SHCreateItemWithParent(IntPtr.Zero, item.VirtualFolder, item.Pidl, typeof(ShellNative.IShellItem).GUID, out var source);
// get some target folder as an IShellItem
ShellNative.SHCreateItemFromParsingName(#"c:\temp", null, typeof(ShellNative.IShellItem).GUID, out var target);
// create IFileOperation and ask to copy
var fo = (ShellNative.IFileOperation)new ShellNative.FileOperation();
fo.CopyItem((ShellNative.IShellItem)Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(source), (ShellNative.IShellItem)Marshal.GetObjectForIUnknown(target), null, IntPtr.Zero);
// if you dont use of of these and the target file already exists
// the whole process will fail for some reason
const uint FOFX_DONTDISPLAYSOURCEPATH = 0x04000000;
const uint FOFX_DONTDISPLAYLOCATIONS = 0x80000000;
fo.SetOperationFlags(FOFX_DONTDISPLAYLOCATIONS);
// do it
fo.PerformOperations();
}
Note that if the target file already exists, you must set at least FOFX_DONTDISPLAYSOURCEPATH or FOFX_DONTDISPLAYLOCATIONS option otherwise the system will fail. The first one will show a dialog like this (where clicking on the compare choice does nothing):
And the second one will show a dialog like this (and you can customize what's shown as "My Path of 'text.txt'":
And the classes with all Shell interop:

You have to use the IBindCtx parameter to pass additional data to the parser, in this case your own file metadata so SHParseDisplayName() will not try to access a real file to get the metadata. This is described in the IShellFolder::ParseDisplayName() and SHCreateItemFromParsingName() documentations:
A pointer to a bind context used to pass parameters as inputs and outputs to the parsing function. These passed parameters are often specific to the data source and are documented by the data source owners. For example, the file system data source accepts the name being parsed (as a WIN32_FIND_DATA structure), using the STR_FILE_SYS_BIND_DATA bind context parameter. STR_PARSE_PREFER_FOLDER_BROWSING can be passed to indicate that URLs are parsed using the file system data source when possible. Construct a bind context object using CreateBindCtx and populate the values using IBindCtx::RegisterObjectParam. See Bind Context String Keys for a complete list of these.

So I think I must realise external prototypes and then call them.
Here is my code:
public static class WpfProvider
{
private static void Test()
{
var RemotePort = 8080; //port to block
// connect to engine
var session = new FWPM_SESSION0_();
session.flags = 0xFFF;
IntPtr engineHandle;
FwpmEngineOpen0(null, RPC.RPC_C_AUTHN_WINNT, IntPtr.Zero, session, ref engineHandle);
// create a subLayer to attach filters to
var subLayerGuid = Guid.NewGuid();
var subLayer = new FWPM_SUBLAYER0_();
subLayer.subLayerKey = subLayerGuid;
subLayer.displayData.name = DisplayName;
subLayer.displayData.description = DisplayName;
subLayer.flags = 0;
subLayer.weight = 0x100;
FwpmSubLayerAdd0(engineHandle, subLayer, IntPtr.Zero);
var condition = new FWPM_FILTER_CONDITION0
{
fieldKey = Fwpm.FWPM_CONDITION_IP_REMOTE_PORT,
matchType = Fwpm.FWP_MATCH_TYPE.FWP_MATCH_EQUAL,
conditionValue =
{
type = Fwpm.FWP_DATA_TYPE.FWP_UINT16,
uint16 = RemotePort
}
};
// create the filter itself
var fwpFilter = new FWPM_FILTER0();
fwpFilter.layerKey = FWPM_LAYER_ALE_AUTH_CONNECT_V4;
fwpFilter.action.type = FWP_ACTION_BLOCK;
fwpFilter.subLayerKey = subLayerGuid;
fwpFilter.weight.type = Fwpm.FWP_DATA_TYPE.FWP_EMPTY; // auto-weight.
fwpFilter.numFilterConditions = (uint)1;
var condsArray = new[] { condition };
var condsPtr = SafeNativeMethods.MarshalArray(condsArray); // helper to create a native array from a C# one
fwpFilter.filterCondition = condsPtr;
fwpFilter.displayData.name = DisplayName;
fwpFilter.displayData.description = DisplayName;

// add the filter
UInt64 filterId = 0L;
FwpmFilterAdd0(engineHandle, ref fwpFilter, IntPtr.Zero, out filterId));

This is the first time I try to hook windows API. My goal is to monitor all files that a process is going to create/open/read/write.
In order to be the most verbose possible, I decided to hook the ntdll.dll API such as NtCreateFile() and NtOpenFile(). So, in order to acheive this goal, I went on EasyHook, which seems easy and robust.
I've essetially followed the FileMon example, changing what I really wanted: the Hooked function.
When I try to read information about the file that is going to be opened, I try to read information from the OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES structure, such as
the ObjectName. Those are integer pointers, so I expected to use the function Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(attributes.objectName) in order to get the string value. However, the result is I can only have bad strings, without any meaning. Also, the File access seems to be not working. I guess there's something wrong with this
code, maybe in the DllImport signatures. Be adviced I had to replace SafeHandle with IntPtr, because of EasyHook was complaining about marshaling them.
Can someone help me?
Here's my specific code of the injected DLL:
Here's the Run method code
public void Run(RemoteHooking.IContext InContext, String inChannelName)
{
// First of all, install all the hooks
try
{
// NtCreateFile
fileCreationHook = LocalHook.Create(
LocalHook.GetProcAddress("ntdll.dll", "NtCreateFile"),
new CreateFileDelegate(CreateFile_Hooked),
this
);
fileCreationHook = LocalHook.Create(
LocalHook.GetProcAddress("ntdll.dll", "NtOpenFile"),
new OpenFileDelegate(OpenFile_Hooked),
this
);
fileCreationHook.ThreadACL.SetExclusiveACL(new Int32[] { 0 });
remoteIf.Log("File creation Hook correctly installed on pid "+RemoteHooking.GetCurrentProcessId());
}
catch (Exception e)
{
remoteIf.Log(e.Message);
remoteIf.Log(e.StackTrace);
return;
}
// Wake up the process
remoteIf.Log("Waiking up process...");
RemoteHooking.WakeUpProcess();
while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(500);
if (queue.Count > 0)
{
String[] package = null;
lock (queue)
{
package = queue.ToArray();
queue.Clear();
}
remoteIf.OnCreateFile(RemoteHooking.GetCurrentProcessId(), package);
}
else
remoteIf.Ping();
}
}
Here's the contructor code:
public InjectedDLL(RemoteHooking.IContext InContext, String inChannelName)
{
// Create the structure which will contain all the messages
queue = new Stack<string>();
// Initiate the connection to the Injector process, getting back its interface
remoteIf = RemoteHooking.IpcConnectClient<IPCInterface>(inChannelName);
// Try invocating a method to test the connection.
remoteIf.Ping();
}
Here there are the Hook delegate and the hook function
public delegate int CreateFileDelegate(out IntPtr handle,
System.IO.FileAccess access,
ref OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES objectAttributes,
out IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatus,
ref long allocSize,
uint fileAttributes,
System.IO.FileShare share,
uint createDisposition,
uint createOptions,
IntPtr eaBuffer,
uint eaLength);
public int CreateFile_Hooked(
out IntPtr handle,
System.IO.FileAccess access,
ref OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES objectAttributes,
out IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatus,
ref long allocSize,
uint fileAttributes,
System.IO.FileShare share,
uint createDisposition,
uint createOptions,
IntPtr eaBuffer,
uint eaLength)
{
//string s = Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(objectAttributes.ObjectName);
int res = NtCreateFile(out handle, access,ref objectAttributes,out ioStatus, ref allocSize,fileAttributes, share,createDisposition,createOptions,eaBuffer,eaLength);
return res;
}
Here there are the NtDll.Dll native functions:
[DllImport("ntdll.dll", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern int NtCreateFile(
out IntPtr handle,
System.IO.FileAccess access,
ref OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES objectAttributes,
out IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatus,
ref long allocSize,
uint fileAttributes,
System.IO.FileShare share,
uint createDisposition,
uint createOptions,
IntPtr eaBuffer,
uint eaLength);
[DllImport("ntdll.dll", ExactSpelling = true, SetLastError = true)]
public static extern int NtOpenFile(
out IntPtr handle,
System.IO.FileAccess access,
ref OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES objectAttributes,
out IO_STATUS_BLOCK ioStatus,
System.IO.FileShare share,
uint openOptions
);
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 0)]
public struct OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES
{
public Int32 Length;
public IntPtr RootDirectory;
public IntPtr ObjectName;
public uint Attributes;
public IntPtr SecurityDescriptor;
public IntPtr SecurityQualityOfService;
}
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, Pack = 0)]
public struct IO_STATUS_BLOCK
{
public uint status;
public IntPtr information;
}
ObjectName is a pointer to a UNICODE_STRING struct. A managed equivalent looks like this:
[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public struct UNICODE_STRING
{
public ushort Length;
public ushort MaximumLength;
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]
public String Buffer;
}
You need to use marshalling to get a managed copy of the struct.
var us = Marshal.PtrToStructure<UNICODE_STRING>(objectAttributes.ObjectName);
Once you have the managed struct you can access the Buffer field to get the name of the object.
now i have code that detect session Id of users that connect to Windows with remote desktop (mstsc.exe) to windows XP but i want to know their Usernames.

You can also use the Cassia library if you'd like to dealing with the P/Invokes. See this answer for a code sample.
I'm trying to find out the 'correct' windows API for finding out the localized name of 'special' folders, specifically the Recycle Bin. I want to be able to prompt the user with a suitably localized dialog box asking them if they want to send files to the recycle bin or delete them directly.
I've found lots on the internet (and on Stackoverflow) about how to do the actual deletion, and it seems simple enough, I just really want to be able to have the text localized.
Read this article for code samples and usage:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/winsdk/SpecialFolders.aspx
Also there is an article on MSDN that helps you Identify the Location of Special Folders with API Calls
I actually didn't find the CodeProject article terribly helpful, so I thought I'd answer this question with the actual code that I used to retrieve the localized name of the recycle bin.
This sample also tries to behave correctly with regard to freeing resources. Any comments are welcome, especially if you spot an error with my resource management!
