Re: int is always 32-bit? - C# Discussion Boards

Hello everyone,

When using "int", it is always 32-bit? No matter whether we make build option as Any CPU, x86 and x64?

thanks in advance,
George

If you want a larger (or smaller) integer, use Int64 or Int16. An int is as big as the compiler defines it to be.

Thanks John,

Answer to my original question is, int is always 32-bit no matther what platform and build option (Any CPU/x86/x64) is used? Smile | :)

no. visual c++ 1.2 (and turbo pascal) defined an int as 16-bit. Starting with Visual C++ 2.0, an int was 32 bit.

Thanks John,

My context is C#. Any comments or answers to my original question?

Yes. In C# an int is always 32 bits.

The keyword int is an alias for the type System.Int32.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Just to add to the pot:

The C# keyword int is a compiler accessor to the System.Int32 type. You may use the below code to validate this as an excercise on each platform:

typeof(int) == typeof(System.Int32)

The above code will return true.

I have a situation where im trying to get TCP connection "netstat" type traffic from a remote machine

in the past i would have used SNMP to perform a simple get and would give me the desired listing of TCP connections however this environment does not have SNMP loaded (hardened environment)

I was thinking of using a WMI Win32_Process to start the process/cmd "netstat -nab" then pipe the results back to the reomte machine. i soon found that i couldn't pass the results back and would need to >> redirect the output to the systems temp directory of the machine and then transfer the file back using some method

has anyone else had or can advise a beter method to get the file off the machine, these machines must be agentless ie no software/code can be install on the remote machines

What you're trying to do is impossible if you can't put software on the remote machine.

I want to convert my Word.Document object in C# to pdf on runtime in windows application.
Thanx in advance

.Net doesn't have PDF support. You have several options

1) Read the PDF spec, and the Word doc spec and write your own converter.
2) Find a commercial PDF library. There are several around.
3) Use ITextSharp[^]. It's an open source PDF creator. It allows you to create PDF files on the fly from C# (Note, it is not a converter, you'll have to process the word file and manually work out what to put in the PDF)
4) Automate software that does the conversion for you. (Like openoffice) There is an article on CP about this http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/generatepdf.aspx[^]. You would either need to ensure the user has open office installed on the system, or provide the conversion as some form of web service which you can call. (This is good if it's an internal only company app, and you can host a service on the network)

It would indeed be a insane task. (Although, there are clearly people who have done it).

I thought I'd take a quick look at the PDF spec.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html[^]

Turns out it's provided in some sort of "PDF package" where multiple PDFs are bundled together into one file. It's a new feature, and Foxit doesn't seem to support it, and I refuse to use adobe reader. I'm convinced they just do things like this to annoy the hell out of developers. Why on earth are "PDF packages" needed? If you want multiple files in one, zip them.
