How to compare two XML Files and generate the differences in a third file...

say for example...

string sXMLContent1;
string sXMLContent2;

I want to compare these two XML contents. NOTE: i don't want to use string.compare function. i want to check all the sub nodes. and write the difference in a out put file.

Your thoughts are higly appreciated. I want to do it in C#

Thanks,
Prince

How about making a user control? Add a DateTimePicker and a CheckBox and in the CheckedChanged event

dateTimePicker1.Enabled = checkBox1.Checked;

retrieving the flag value of one form in other

i have declared an object of a form in other form for accessin a flag value. but it is not able to access it.

There are several ways to do this.

The best way is to create an event in the second form (FlagChanged) that can be listened to from anywhere - including the first form.

Second best is to create a class (FlaggedForm) that inherits from Form and add the Flag property to your class.

There are other much dirtier methods (that I won't mention!)

If you are talking about that flag being not accessible, the closest thing I can suggest is that you have a look at its access modifier, should be public.

Hi,

i want know if glade, sharpdevelop or monodevelop can do some applications (in mono) that have an interface like media center.
what the pertinent IDE can i use for that goal
thanks Smile | :)

The easiest IDE to do it in would be visual studio 2008 (There's a free express edition), and using WPF.

mono doesn't support WPF yet though, so might not be any good for you.

I'm assuming then that you're talking about a win-forms app. Any IDE will do for this (think VS2008 is probably still the best), But it's going to be a lot of manual/owner drawn controls, it's not the easiest thing in the world to do. It's certainly not do-able just by pointing and clicking your way through it. Probably best to look for some 3rd party skinable control library.

Well if you have to do the work in UNIX just pick one of those IDEs, they're all gonna give you about the same levels of support I would assume. A media player like interface is going to pretty much have to be all owner drawn, so you're going to spend a lot of your time writing graphics code to draw all the pretty shapes.

There isn't a simple point and click interface for this kind of custom fancy stuff.

That or find a 3rd party control library that works on mono, and has skinable controls.

MAGIC: modifying a class memeber affects another member, HOW?

Here is the code:

public Document(string title, string source,string summery, string [] filesList, int noOfFiles)
		{
			this.title = title;
			this.source = source;
			this.summery = summery;
			this.noOfFiles = noOfFiles;
			this.filesList = filesList;
			this.pathsList = filesList;
			
			string [] temp; 
			
			for(int i=0; i<noOfFiles; i++)
			{
				temp = pathsList[i].Split('\\');
				this.filesList[i] = temp[temp.Length-1];
			}
		}

the array pathsList holds the full path of the files
the array filesList hold the abstract names of the files
As you see in the code, in the loop I update only the filesList
The MAGIC is, the pathsList is updated too
Can any why tell me how this happens?

Because you are modifying the same instance. Make a copy of pathsList.

they both hold a reference to the same string array, so when one alters the array it will be reflected in the other as they are still looking at the same reference.

The solution is cloning - which is a whole new rabbit hole!

Yeah, what they said. Personally, I'd do someting more like this:

this.filesList = new string [ filesList.Length ] ;
this.pathsList = new string [ filesList.Length ] ;
 
System.IO.FileInfo temp ;
  
for(int i=0; i<noOfFiles; i++)
{
    temp = new System.IO.FileInfo ( filesList[i] ) ;
 
    this.pathsList[i] = temp.FullName ;
    this.filesList[i] = temp.Name ;
}

And more likely I'd use List<string>s rather than arrays.
I also pass file specifications through System.Environment.ExpandEnvironmentVariables before using them, but that's just me.

You can use remoting or pipes for inter process communication.

you can share a file that can be check both of your windows service application and desktop application periodically.
in windows service :
- check if shared update file is exist, if file is exist do not check update from server, otherwise check update from server, if update found create shared update file

in desktop application
-check if shared update file is exist, if file is exist pop up update information window, perform update, delete shared update file

hope it helps
