I'm working on a network file synchronization program, and I need to set the date modified property on the local system to now.
This is to make it possible to compare the date modified to a copy of the same file on a different system. The times will be different because when a file is copied across the network it's date modified will be set to the date the file was created by copying it. The local file's date modified will set to when ever the file was last modified.
I could probably do this by reading the file into a stream, then writing it out again, but this would obviously be a waste of resources.
Does anyone know how to just change the date modified of a file to the current time?
Thanks for any help

Hi,
the FileInfo class has properties such as CreationTime and LastWriteTime which have
both a getter and a setter.

Hi,
I tried google and searched the old posts with no success. I have a problem when rendering transparent
PNGs with GDI+ and the C# Graphics class. The image shows am object on a
transparent background. I get ugly artifacts at the object's edge where
the transparency begins. It looks as if there was a 8bit alpha reduced
to 1 bit. Where there wasn't full transparency, the background (I
suppose blue) seems to shine through.
Does anybody know if that's a problem with the image, the gdi+ or with
my programming?? I simply call
g.DrawImage(img, startPos, 0, imageWidth, height);
And please make the solution as easy as possible

Thanks for any reply and best regards,

That's a problem with the image. The easiest way to see if is if you've got an image with a white background and you have anti-aliased or smoothed the lines so they look nice when they meet the background. If you then use something like Fireworks' Magic Wand tool which will "crop" away the background then you have the "ugly" edges because the edge has been merged in with the white background.
In your case it looks like Red has been chosen to be the transparent colour, the problem with this is that where the edges of the image meet the background you don't have true red (i.e. #ff0000) but rather a combination between red and white. Thus when the mask is picked only #ff0000 will become transparent.
It can be fixed using Photoshop / Fireworks fairly easily judging by your screenshot. If you open the image in Fireworks and turn down the tolerance of the wand then the ones that are sort-of-red will be included and can be removed, thus leaving a white edge.

But he does state that he is "rendering transparent PNGs"
A png with alpha channel should render just fine onto any background color.
Using a wand tool to crop the edges away is useful for gif's and such, but PNG's have 255(?) levels of transparency and shouldnt have any problems with antialias.
(But I have no clue whats wrong in this case)

I think what your thinking of is the alpha components of colours which is essentially transparency, however the wand tool will not dither the neighbouring pixels with varying degrees of alpha component (as far as I know) so in essence what you have is the body of the picture with 0% alpha (i.e. fully opaque) and the borders were dithered previously with red, in this case. The red which was for example #f00 was replaced with #f000 (100% transparent) but the neighbouring ones were left as, well, pinkish.
The only way to correct this would be to manually edit the png, for example (I'm using Fireworks because it's what I know) you can replace the transparency with red and then use the wand tool to select red but turn down the tolerance so that it hopefully removes all the obvious red. For a smoother edge turn the wand to smooth edges as opposed to crisp or hard.

Your are right i am using a PNG 24 with 255 levels of transparency.
But its not the image that is my problem, for example, in photoshop the png is displayed with all 255 levels of transparency. i think c# somehow converts the image in a lower 1bit alpha channel format but i am not sure about it. if you could just upload an image that is implemented in c# and thats has all 255 transparency levels it would be a big help for me. of course without any artifacts at the boardes.
my second thought is that c# just doesnt support png24 and semi-transparency.

Hello
I use this code to create users in active directory, and set their passwords:
static void Main(string[] args)<br />
{<br />
DirectoryEntry parent = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://test/OU=Admins,DC=test,DC=org");<br />
Console.WriteLine("OU: "+parent.Name);<br />
Console.WriteLine("Domain name:" + System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain.GetCurrentDomain().Name);<br />
string test = "testuser";<br />
for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
DirectoryEntry child = parent.Children.Add("CN=" + test + i.ToString(), "User");<br />
Console.WriteLine(test + i.ToString() + ": create object");<br />
child.Properties["name"].Value = test + i.ToString();<br />
child.Properties["displayName"].Value = test + i.ToString();<br />
child.Properties["GivenName"].Value = test + i.ToString();<br />
child.Properties["Initials"].Value = "q";<br />
child.Properties["sn"].Value = test + i.ToString();<br />
child.Properties["sAMAccountName"].Value = test + i.ToString();<br />
child.CommitChanges();<br />
Console.WriteLine(test + i.ToString() + ": commit info");<br />
child.Invoke("SetPassword", new object[] { "!qwe@ASD" });<br />
child.CommitChanges();<br />
Console.WriteLine(test + i.ToString() + ": commit passowrd");<br />
}<br />
catch (Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine(test + i.ToString() + ":"+ ex.ToString());<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}
Within the loop, some users are created and their passwords set successfully, and randomly setting password for some users fail with this error:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException (0x80072030): There is no such object on the server. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80072030)
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
at System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] args)
What are the possible causes for this error? and what are the workarounds?

We have solved the issue long time ago, so I don't remember the issue accurately.
But as I remember, it was related to replication. There were multiple domain controllers serving the domain. If first CommitChanges saves data to dc1, the second may go to dc2.
The solution is to add users in batch and replicate the domain controllers then update the password in another cycle.

I have to revisit a VS2003 project from years ago, but I cannot open it. I installed SP1, but it's made no difference. The message I get is 'Unable to read project xxx. The file xxx.csproj is not a valid project file. The project file is missing the 'VisualStudioProject' section'.
Sure enough, if I create a new VS2003 project, the XML starts with that node. The projects I have do not have that, and are much denser. But, the 'Visual Studio Version Selector' opens it with VS2003, and VS2005 offers to convert it ( then chokes ). Worse still, I tried creating a new project and found I must have some files that are not used, because some classes were declared twice. This is a long time ago, I am really stuck trying to work out how to access these files.

Perhaps the easiest would be to create a new project and add all the code back into it. Alternatively you can try and compare two project files (a valid one with this one) and restructure the corrupted portions.

Thanks, I was hoping to avoid the former, and for the latter, the csproj files seem to be in an entirely different format, the element it's looking for is the root of the XML document. But, it's not a VS2005 format, either.

Yeah I've got the feeling that VS2003 was a plain text format and VS2005 moved to an XML format which to be honest it makes more sense.
Just a random thought, what about trying SharpDevelop since that can import all the versions as far as I know.

Cool idea, thanks, I will try it.

Hello all. I am new here; a student of programming! I am developing an app similar to Windows Explorer. I have everything working great. But I have one question:
Can anyone tell me what I may need to do to be able to click on a directory in the Listview and repopulate the Treeview in the left pane?
Any help would be much appreciated!
|

|

Thanks for the feedback, but I have researched these things and I don't see how to do what I need, which is not add a node, but rather redraw the treeview to repopulate an existing node.
For example:
if I click the program files directory in the treeview, the directory is expanded in the treeview to show all of the folders; all of the folders and files are displayed in the listview. What I need to do is this:
by clicking on a folder in the listview, lets say the Adobe folder, I want the Adobe folder in the treeview to be expanded to show all of the folders one level under the Adobe folder. Of course this should work for as many clicks in the listview as the user performs. Any suggestions?

Hi I've been trying to find some way of have two systems establish a TCP connection via a Relay server so as to support clients behind a firewall/router with having to manually forward ports which can be done via an outbound connection. So the Client program sends socket info to the server which the server stores and passes to another client so that the two client can connect to each other. The problem lies in that I cannot convert System.Net.Socket to a Byte array to send it over a network stream. Any help would be hot.
Thanks in Advance

Can you explain in more detail as to what you're trying to accomplish because I think you've got confused over what can be done.
|
|
|
|

I need to have a server machine accept an incoming TCP connection as a socket. Then duplicate that socket and send it over a network stream to another tcp client.
EG. convert System.Net.Socket to binary and back.
