Hi
Any idea or info on how to map a network drive in C#. A code example or a pointer to a web site with info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Do you want to map the drive...or just access a file on a network share?

Thanks for the reply. I need to map the drive as in
which I do in JSCRIPT but have no clue how to use this object in C#.
Thanks

I am experiencing a very strange problem while trying to set the value of a public field in a class that is being accessed using .NET remoting. Assuming the following definitions:
public enum BuildMethod {
DropBox,
CVS,
}
public class BuildInfo : System.MarshalByRefObject {
/// <remarks>
public BuildMethod Method;
...
}
The problem occurs in my client when I am trying to set the value of the Method field of BuildInfo, i.e.:
xxxx.Method = BuildMethod.DropBox;
There does not appear to be a problem retrieving the value of the Method field, but only when I try to set it.
Exception Details:
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException: The argument type 1 cannot be converted into parameter type Matrix.Definitions.Schema.BuildMethod.
Stack Trace:
[RemotingException: The argument type 1 cannot be converted into parameter type Matrix.Definitions.Schema.BuildMethod.]

I am setting up the channel on the server side like this:
System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider SinkProvider =
new BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider();
SinkProvider.TypeFilterLevel = System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.TypeFilterLevel.Full;
IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
props["port"] = 10782;
this.ServiceChannel = new TcpChannel(props, null, SinkProvider);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(this.ServiceChannel);
I am making the object available on the server side using RemotingServices.Marshal().
I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone can provide. Thank you,

Does the remoting server have a reference to the BuildMethod Type? I suspect it either doens't know how to deserialize it (which reminds me, you really should be / have to be using the SerializableAttribute on remotable objects) because it doesn't know the Type, or just doesn't recognize the Type to begin with. The client, on the other hand, would receive an integer representation of the enum and could deserialize that easily, as such is the case since your client can get the field.

You know... I completely overlooked using SerializableAttribute on the enums -- that's probably what the problem is. I'll try it and let you know.
Thank you for the suggestion.

A dummy question,
How I could make a date difference, like VB's DateDiff???. There is a Compare method from DateTime, but don't allow specific the type of data, like years or months.
Anyone know how??

You mean:
DateTime.Now.Subtract(time1);

Peforming an operation on two DateTime values (like add and subtract) yield a TimeSpan, as well as using methods like Mazdak mentioned. See the documentation for TimeSpan in the .NET Framework SDK for more information.

I'm not an expert on the XmlNavigator class (I usually just use SelectNodes and get a collection of XmlNodes), but I think I see your problem.
You're finding a bunch of book nodes, and then you're moving to the first child, expecting to find the ISBN. The first child (child node) of book is the title node. What you want is an attribute, and not a child (isbn is an attribute and not a child node).
Take a look at XmlNavigator.GetAttribute. I think that will allow you to get the ISBN.
I, for one, do not think the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.

Thank you it is because of my language I think I didn't know what the meaning of attribute... I changed the loop with the one below and it worked  Thanx anyway...
while (iterator.MoveNext())
{
XPathNavigator nav2 = iterator.Current.Clone();
nav2.MoveToAttribute("ISBN", "urn:samples" );
Console.WriteLine("Book ISBN: {0}", nav2.Value);

Hello,
I remember the good old time with .rc files that the only thing that you have to do is a right click, an include of you resource and everything is visible and working for you project.
I read alot on resources in .NET but I cant beleave that this simplicity is gone! I have my .resources or .resX file created, everything work fine. The only think I need to do is compile my project with the:
/linkres:app.resources flag.
I never saw any place in VS where I can include this flag. Is this a joke that I need to do this in the command promp? I have a solution with 5 projects with 50 files, what a hell to do a working batch file for compilation. Any suggestion, help?
I can't beleave that at the .NET era we need to do this that way.
Thank alot for your time,
Salutations,

Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but I want to make sure you understand one thing.
From the VS IDE, you can add any type of files to your project and right click on it to bring up the properties. Normally a non-source file is set to "Content", but you can switch it to "Embedded Resource" to have it compiled into your assembly as a resource.
Is that what you're looking for?

I have a prepackaged control that I must use on a project. The developers removed access to the double-click event and I need to add it back in without access to source code. Can I build some sort of wrapper function and enforce the double-click event there, or is there some hidden path that I must take to enable such an event? Thanks for any suggestions, and access to some sort of example would be doubly appreciated!
|
|
|
|
|
If it's not sealed, just extend it:
public class MyControl : PrePackagedControl
{
public event EventHandler DoubleClick;
protected virtual void OnDoubleClick(EventArgs e)
{
if (DoubleClick != null)
DoubleClick(this, e);
}
}

Thanks! This is so much simpler than everything I tried! No wonder I missed it, as I'm always making things harder than they need to be. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I would appreciate any help with the following situation:
I have a solution with two projects. The first project creates a .dll that is referenced by the second one, which contains some classes that derive from interfaces defined in the first .dll.
The problem is that in Visual Studio, when I try to compile the second project, I get an error saying that the first .dll does not have a strong name and because of this, I cannot derive my classes from its interfaces. In the real world, this .dll will be in the same directory than the executable, so there is no need to sign it. In Visual Studio, the first .dll is in a different directory and I cannot copy it to the /bin/debug folder because everything is removed from that directory when the second project is compiled...
Thanks in advance for your help.

A strong name assembly has a version and public key token, and you should always build assemblies as such in order to stick them in the GAC, enable assembly binding redirection (handle for upgrades), better code access security through simplified evidence, and much more!
Generate a key pair using
sn.exe -k KeyFile.snk Keep this somewhere safe. In your projects (presumably in the AssemblyInfo.cs file), add the path to that key file in the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute, or if you added it to a container using
sn.exe -i KeyFile.snk MyContainerName put that name in the AssemblyKeyNameAttribute.
Also make sure that the AssemblyVersionAttribute has a value, but I highly recommend both from lots of experience and from Microsoft's own recommendations not to use automatic versioning (via the asterisk) in multi-project solutions because versioning can get out of hand VERY quickly.

I have the following two code segments on different pages. On Page A (dlEvents) I get the following error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." On Page B (dlCourseDetails) the code works fine. I have checked the control ID's to make sure they are correct. The data on the database is identical. Both pages have DataLists. In addition, I'm now having a similar problem casting a TextBox on another page. I'm stumped! Has anyone run into this? Does anyone know why it would work fine on one page and blow up on the other?
private void dlEvents_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Label lblPhone = (Label)(e.Item.FindControl("lblPhone"));<br />
if (lblPhone.Text.Length > 0) <br />
lblPhone.Text = string.Format("{0:(###)###-####}", double.Parse(lblPhone.Text));<br />
}
private void dlCourseDetails_ItemDataBound(object sender, System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Label lblPhoneNumber = (Label)(e.Item.FindControl("lblCoursePhone"));<br />
if (lblPhoneNumber.Text.Length > 0) <br />
lblPhoneNumber.Text = string.Format("{0:(###)###-####}", double.Parse(lblPhoneNumber.Text));<br />
}

Typically means you are referencing an object that has not yet been created, was destroyed, is not (or no longer) accessible or is NULL ...
D.

|
|
|
|
However, the object is there. When are object bound to the page? Does this occur before the ItemDataBound or after? The binding should occur at the same time for both pages shouldn't it? I'm using the same code on both pages. It works fine on one page and not the other. Would binding work differently on the two pages?
Thanks
CDW

Unfortunately, I cannot give you that answer ... all I can suggest is to step through the debugger and look at the object you're trying to reference. You should be able to tell if it exists when you reference it.
I have discovered that often times, events are triggered when you least expect it, so you have to check for the existance of the object before you reference it.

how do i set the install location for dll's in a merge module? the properties window does not contain a location. the dll's are installed in the application folder, when they should be installed in the windows\system32 directory.
