Hello All,
I have created a helpdesk application in ASP.NET along with C#. Now i want a windows service to be run on server
I wnt a functionality in which if a problem is submitted at 10.00 the support person can set up an alarm and there must also be an automated alarm
to warn the support person to handle the problem before 2 hours of its subscripotion so at 12.00 if the problem is not solved it sends a mail to higher level support staff
now i wnt help from your side i have created a basic service. but tell me how to start of with this.
Waiting for a quick reply

You'll want to extend the ServiceBase class that is documented[^] in the .NET Framework SDK. If you're using VS.NET, create a new Windows Service project. With your service open (you'll see a blank, yellow background (by default)), right click and select "Create Installer". This will add an installer project that'll let you easily install your service using the installutil.exe application that's installed into %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v[FrameworkVersion], where [FrameworkVersion] is the version of the runtime you want to use to install the service (any should work so long as you don't use obsolete or new types and members).
To handle the time issue, you'll need to use one of the various Timer classes in the .NET Framework. There are 3 of them and each is suited for different tasks (though with the right coding any will work).
Consider this, however: such a scheduler already exists on your system: the Task Scheduler. In your control panel you'll find this virtual folder which you can create tasks in to run certain programs (like a "beep" application for an alarm). You can also access this programmatically using the native ITaskScheduler[^] interface. It would be easier to just write a native application to use this COM interface and it's associated class, represented by CLSID_CTaskScheduler. You could interop these interfaces in managed code, but you'll either have to create them yourself or create a dummy IDL file to forward-declare the necessary interfaces, compile it with midl.exe, then create an interop assembly using tlbimp.exe that ships with the .NET Framework SDK (that VS.NET installs by default).

Hello Stewart thnks alot for replying.
I am a bit new to VS.NET so thts why i think the solution that you have given may be is a bit complex of using IDL and rather i can do it using a thread in Windows service which continuosly checks up records in database and if any problem time is over it will insert a new record into alert table so whenever user opens the inbox he will have a new mail in tht alert inbox.
If any other effective solution then tell me

It's not as easy as you think. Are you going to take into account resiliency (so that if the computer goes down either gracefully or not, when it comes back up the timer accounts for lost time)? What about security (what account does the service NEED to run under, i.e. what are the minimum privileges required)?
Again, this is a simple solution if you write it using native C++. The steps I outlined are only necessary if you want to do this in native code. If you're doing this as part of a managed application, you could write the implementation in native code and then P/Invoke a simple function exported from your native DLL from your managed application:
sched.dll (native)
ScheduleTask(TaskStruct task);
app.exe (managed)
P/Invoke ScheduleTask;
Declare TaskStruct;
If you are going to handle resiliency and security yourself (which the Task Scheduler already does), then you should look at the Timer classes in the .NET Framework I mentioned in my previous post. You can find these in your .NET Framework SDK that VS.NET installs by default (just click the Help menu, select Index, then type "Timer class". These are also available online at the following URLs:

How to Create a Flolder on a server where my database reside?
Which types of rights i required for creating folder?
Perrak shah

This is an open-ended question. You do not specify how you have access to the server (UNC, HTTP, FTP, etc.) or if you even have security rights to create folders. If this was on a network share, you'd simply use Directory.CreateDirectory("\\server\share\new directory"). If you don't have the necessary access rights, an UnauthorizedAccessException will be thrown. Over HTTP, FTP, etc., protocols, the method is different for each one.
Please be specific in your requests.

You'll either need an application or service on the server that will listen for client requests and create folders on the demand of a client, or you'll to have a network share onto the server and create a folder from the client on the network share.

hej,
i'm looking for a solution to control multiplie user controls by clicking on on an item in the navbar, located at the left side
of the screen.
I can handle the NavBar, that's fine. Writing a Click Event for
each item in the NavBar seems to be the most convinient solution to
call a user control and display it alongside the navbar.
The problem: So far i simply dragged all my user controls on the form
and worked with the "visible" proprety
private void navItemAdresses_LinkClicked(object sender, MyNavbar.NavBarLinkEventArgs e)
{
usercontrol.Visible = true;
usercontrol1.Visible = false;
....
}
That's a really s... solution. Can anyone suggest me a better one?
|
|
|
|
|
If they are the same size ,why don't you put them in the same location ,and only calling this.control1.BringToFront();
that would help also you can start with your default control as you may want display it in the first.
|
|
|
|
|
That would be a solution. But i rather like to write some code that
"closes" or makes all previous selected user controls invisible.
I'm not too lazy to programm it, but actually i'm a little stuck.
A good idea is missing

Is there any Tool Bar control which is by default quite similar to Standard I.E explorer tool bar,which contains back forward stop refresh buttons etc.Creating such tool bar on our own will take time,so is there any available tool bar control like this.
|
|
|
|
|
No. You can have a prebuilt toolbar that supplies the buttons, but there's no way it can know what your using those buttons for and supply the code for them. You'll still have to write code behind the button click events so they'll actually do something.

Is it possible to stop people from being able to decompile a C# program or to 'rip' the code out of a compiled application?
Thanks.

there are many obfuscation programs are available in market which you can use to secure your source code.
a good defination of obfuscator from google : )
"Obfuscator is a program that garbles a source either by encryption or by substitution of codes. This means that the source to be compiled is hard to understand and hard to debug. But during runtime it is decrypted as pure source."
|
|
|
|
|
You can make it harder by using an obfuscator. An obfuscator takes the IL and mangles it so that it is tough for decompilers to figure out the original source, while still maintaining the original logic of the program.
All said and done, with enough time and resources, a motivated person can still decompile your code.

I managed to retrieve LOCAL user & groups and list them in a listbox. Now I need to find out which localusers are "memberof" a local group. With Active Directory (using LDAP) it works, but it won't work with localuser/groups.
The last I tried:
DirectoryEntry group = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://127.0.0.1/Administrators", "", "", AuthenticationTypes.None);<br />
<br />
foreach(object dn in group.Properties["member"] )<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine(dn);<br />
}
Who knows what I'm doing wrong ? Or does somebody knows the right we to handle this?
Thanks

Jeah, I did it (stolen from a example from codeproject.com) :
StringCollection userGps = new StringCollection();<br />
DirectoryEntry obDirEnt = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + "127.0.0.1" + "/" + "Eric");<br />
object obGps = obDirEnt.Invoke("Groups");<br />
if (null != obGps)<br />
{<br />
foreach (object obGp in (IEnumerable)obGps)<br />
{<br />
DirectoryEntry obGpEnt = new DirectoryEntry(obGp);<br />
userGps.Add(obGpEnt.Name);<br />
}<br />
}
Now I only ask, why does is take so long to 'invoke' ? Is there anyway to make this go faster ?

What do you mean by "when I activate this function, then doubleclick event not fire"? Are you trying to doubleclick on something WHILE your doing a Drag & Drop operation?
We need a better explanation of what your trying to do.

"when I activate this function, then doubleclick event not fire" Yes you are right and i explain you in details
in my main window i am using two contol, one is datagrid and second is MSFlexGrid. i want to drag drop functionality from datagrid to MSFlexGrid when i select any item from datagrid and drag from datagrid to MSFelxGrid then another window open. now i am using for draging this functionalty with dradrop event of datagrid. Now i am also useing double click event of datagrid but when i write some code in double click event of datagrid then it will not fire
this is my main problem i can also explain you by code if you not understand tell me

Is the .NET Framework SDK Version 1.1 (for C#) available for download from Microsoft site, free for download?
Can I use it to make and market commercial applications, without restrictions? Moreover, can I develop full-fledged applications using it (of course the visual IDE will not be availabe if i understand correctly)?
I am forced to ask this question here because this SDK download is about 103 MB and the Microsoft site does not mention about the license conditions before the download is completed.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can develop and market applications written on the "free" version of the .NET Framework. Those are the exact same compilers used by the Visual Stduio IDE. The compilers are part of the Framework, not the IDE. There are no licensing restrictions.

Hi,
I have a problem deserializing xml into objects.
my class structure:
orderHeader
order
orderDetail
orderHeader has an arraylist of [order]
order has an arraylist of [orderDetail]
orderHeader and the arraylist of [order] is filled, but the arraylist of [orderDetail] remains empty.
this is the code i use to deserialize:
<br />
Dim serializer As New XmlSerializer(GetType(orderHeader))<br />
Dim fs As New FileStream("c:\schipUbnOrder.xml", FileMode.Open)<br />
Dim myOrderHeader As orderHeader<br />
myOrderHeader = CType(serializer.Deserialize(fs), orderHeader)<br />
What am i doing wrong ?
Thanks already
John

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but i already found the problem:
the [orderDetail] arraylist in the [order] class was not initiated in the default constructor. Therefore he generates a nullReference...
It does know the type of the arraylist thanks to this code:
[XmlArray("orderLines")]
[XmlArrayItem("orderLine",typeof(orderDetail))]
public ArrayList orderDetail
{
get {return mOrderDetails;}
}
regards
John
