I am using a windows service project i.e. winService.
Inside this project, I have placed an xml file.
This winService project, calls a class library project i.e. classLibrary.
Inside the classlibrary, there is a class i.e. myclass.cs which has to get the path of the xml file which as mentioned above is inside the winservice project and it is called test.xml
I am using the following code in the class myclass.cs which is inside the classlibrary project to get the path of the xml file:
string strPath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "test.xml";
Question:
The code above returns the path of the winservice\bin\debug
Is it correct to place the test.xml inside the bin\debug folder?
or Should the test.xml file be placed on the root of the winservice project instead?
and is the code ok?
Thanks

When you deploy your project, your executable will be located in a different directory to the one you build into. This means that your xml file should be in the executable directory or a subdirectory of that, so your code is fine(ish). When creating paths from variables, you should always look to use Path.Combine(pathroot, file);.

Hi,
By executing directory I think you mean my winservice project in this case.
If so, I have placed the test.xml file in this directory.
Am I right so far?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I see.
I will continue testing and will ask questions later if it is ok please.
Thank you.

As Pete says, paths are notorious for changing, keep them fluid.

It does?
Shouldn't it be AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\test.xml" or a variation thereof?

As I stated earlier, this method should not be used. Path.Combine is the best way to create the path structure.

if your app would need to create/modify the XML file, it would not be wise to put such data file in the EXE's folder as:
1. the folder is shared by all users;
2. the folder might be write-protected.
When in doubt, the better approach is to use one of the official folders as returned by Environment.GetFolderPath().

I never put settings files in an application directory; I put them in a settings directory -- that's what they're for.
For instance C:\Documents and Settings\All Users that way they can even be shared among different applications as well as different users.

Hi All,
I want to show some ongoing even on in the mean time when the connection is being opened.
When I tried to show the LABEL or tried to MODIFY the text of button, it doesn't happen till
the conn is opened. After conn opens - then only the text is changed as 'Connecting...' ,
which I want to show in the mean time when connection is getting opened.
Any help..?
Thanks and regards

It sounds like you are trying to update the label and open the connection on the same thread. If you need them both appear to be happening at the same time, you should move the connection handling onto a background thread.
|
|
|
|
|
the following sequence could suffice:
label1.Text="Going to connect";
label1.Refresh();
Connect();
label1.Text="Connected";
label1.Refresh();
however it is always better to delegate long-winding or possibly long-winding operations to another thread.

But what if it doesn't connect? Then the "Connecting..." text is a lie and you've just lied to your trusting user; that's poor customer relations. Don't promise something that you can't deliver. Change the text to "Attempting to connect... this usually works... but some times it doesn't... and if it doesn't, then I'll be just as sad as you will be and we can cry together."

Hi all, I need to develop a progress bar in my web application which is in asp.net. This progress bar should see on screen while switching to new page of my application.
I have master page in which i have created diffrent menues.. like Audit,Manual,Update
on click of tht different pages will get disply.
so i want to disply progressbar on click of those menus
<td id="tdmnuPerfRating" valign="middle" align="center" style="width: 200px; height: 25px;
background-image: url(./images/grey_bg.jpg);" onmouseover="javascript:changecolor(this,'on');"
onmouseout="javascript:changecolor(this,'off');">
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink3" runat="server" CssClass="CSMenu" Text="Performance Rating"
NavigateUrl="~/ViewAudit.aspx" />
</td>
<td align="center" valign="middle" style="width: 1px; height: 25px">
<div style="display: inherit;">
<img src="images/line_vertical.jpg" border="0" alt="Line" height="25px" /></div>
</td>
<td id="tdIssue" valign="middle" align="center" style="width: 200px; height: 25px;

I have found a great library for polynomials here on code project
A C# Class for Complex Polynomials[^]
I just wondered how i would go about changing the ToString method to print out the polynomial in the form 2x^2 + 3x + 4 etc
I have tried to modify the for loop to go down instead of up but it doesnt come out correctly. I have also tried modifying other values yet it results in the index out of bounds error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance

By overriding it's original implementation and providing their own. If you take a look at the source[^] file called "Complex.cs", you'll find that behaviour implemented starting on line 433;
433 public override string ToString()
434 {
435 if (this == Complex.Zero) return "0";
MSDN has a How To[^]-article on the subject

Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for info on overriding! However it also seems that in Polynomial.cs, the override of ToString presents the object in the format 4 + 3x + 2x^2 instead of the conventional 2x^2 + 3x + 4.
I was just wondering if there was a way of modifying the existing ToString in the Polynomial.cs class to get the string in this format. I think it may be something to do with the for loop however the modifications i have made so far have only resulted in index out of bounds exceptions being made
Thanks again

That tells me you did something wrong.

Fix your mistake. And if you can't, provide more information so people here can help you.

Sorry about that
Basically the Polynomial class has a Complex[] field that stores the coefficients of the equation. e.g 1,7,12 for x^2 + 7x + 12. The class has an overriden ToString method that gives a representation of what the equation is. However the given implementation given below provides 12 + 7x + x^2 instead of the conventional x^2 + 7x + 12 that i am looking for.
public override string ToString()
{
if (this.IsZero()) return "0";
else
{
string s = "";
for (int i = 0; i < Degree + 1; i++)
{
if (Coefficients[i] != Complex.Zero)
{
if (Coefficients[i] == Complex.I)
s += "i";
else if (Coefficients[i] != Complex.One)
{
if (Coefficients[i].IsReal() && Coefficients[i].Re > 0)
s += Coefficients[i].ToString();
else
s += "(" + Coefficients[i].ToString() + ")";
}
else if (i == 0)
s += 1;
if (i == 1)
s += "x";
else if (i > 1)
s += "x^" + i.ToString();
}
if (i < Degree && Coefficients[i + 1] != 0 && s.Length > 0)
s += " + ";
}
return s;
}
Or also here
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Articles/ViewDownloads.aspx?aid=19446[^]
I have tried to modify the for loop to
for (int i = Degree -1; i >= 0; i--)
But that gives the + signs after the equation. I have also tried to modify other parts of the method yet it usually results in array index out of bounds exceptions.
Can anyone give me some pointers on how to modify the method to give the 'conventional' interpretation of equations?
Thanks again

OK, the problem is with the operator signs; it is caused by the non-ideal approach taken originally: there is an if statement trying to look at the next coefficient. It is bound to go wrong when traversing the array in the other direction. And it is plain wrong as is anyway, just imagine a few consecutive coefficients being zero.
The correct approach would implement this rule: each term needs a "+" sign if it hasn't a negative coefficient and isn't the first term in the output. Putting it like that, you don't need to look at other coefficients, you just keep one state variable telling you whether or not this is the first term to be seen.
In pseudo-code:
bool firstTerm=true;
foreach(term in polynomial) {
if (coef==0) skip;
if (!firstTerm && coef>0) output("+");
output(term);
firstTerm=false;
}
