asynchronous[^]
synchronous/synchronization[^]
No code snippet required really, an async function will normally return immediately and continue doing it's thing afterwards (on a seperate thread?) so the current thread is not blocked. A sync function will return at the end of the function, so the current thread is blocked while the function is running.

The main diffrence in Sync and Async function is "In Sync function: one has to wait till the function returnsthe control after exececution.In Async once one send the call to function one has not wait for the result during this one can do another task,when function execution gets completed it returns the value."

well not much, but if is synchronous starts a work and after finished stars the next one, if is asynchronous can start many at same time.

If is asynchronous will not be stuck somehere and deals many calls at same time. (needed in chat applications) Sigh | :sigh:

Write DataTable To Fixed Width Text File

Hi Guys. I have gooled for the above and can't find any topic that describes how to do this. I have found numerous topics that explain how to write to Excel and CSV which I know how to do and currently am doing in my app but I need to change this to Write to a FixedWhidth Text File.

Can anybody please let me know of a link that I can look at? I need to export the data in my DataTable to a Fixedwidth file that looks somethig like this.

U01234567890120920080832345675 testemail@test.co.za C

The code I have currently writes the data to a CSV file which is then re-worked manualy into the above format. I want to export the data directly into the above format. D'Oh! | :doh:

Any help or references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There is no esay way that I know of, all you can do is write some code to pad each field to the required size - or pad the columns in your select to the required size.

Hope this helps

I have managed to resolve this. See below.

StreamWriter sfw = new StreamWriter(@"W:\CTS Product\Mobile_Email_Updates\mob_email_" + DateTime.Today.ToString("ddMMyyyyhhmm") + ".txt", false);
DataTable dt = m_dtMobEmail;

//Write all records in the DB
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
    //Search for all Records with value 0
    if (dr["Exported"].ToString() == "0")
    {
        sfw.WriteLine(dr["HolderRef"].ToString() + dr["DateConf"].ToString() + dr["MobileNum"].ToString().PadRight(20) +
            dr["EmailAdd"].ToString().PadRight(80) + dr["Comms"].ToString() + dr["Confirmed"].ToString() + dr["Via"].ToString() +
            dr["DateConf"].ToString());
    }

}
sfw.Close();

Configuration - List of key/values without using custom section

I'd like to include a list of values in my app.config file that has no specific length.

I don't want to use "Setting 1" "Setting 2" etc. for obvious reasons.

I could define a type that wraps a List<string> for example and use this as the type for a custom section...

However this seems a little over the top. I am also dealing with a distributed system that has various components, and so I would like to avoid having to make that type available to in all of them.

Does anybody know a lightweight way of achieving this that is already part of the framework / System.Configuration namespace?

Thanks

I use a settings datatable based on an XML file, easy to maintain, easy to manage and you have complete control of it.

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortuantely using a database is not really viable for this particular problem, as some of the components involved are deployed at customers' premises. I don't want to add the complexity of deploying a database engine etc.

Thanks,
Rob.

Ahhh...

I've just re-read your post. Properly this time Blush | :O

Do you think it is possible to use a datatable as a Type for a custom config section?

The solution is quite committed to using app.config and System.Configuration. I wouldn't want to have to have a second xml file containing the serialised datatable - so I'd need to get it into app.config somehow...

Thanks again,
Rob.

LINQ to XML would work, and you could write/read your own file without worrying about messing up or dealing with multiple app.config files.

I'd probably create a class lib project that you can use in multiple assemblies. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with something usable and flexible.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

I have decided on the following:

Declare a section in app.config ilke this:

<section name="LogMessageReceiverConfig" type="RealTimeDelivery.Common.Logging.LogMessageReceiverConfigHandler, LogMessageReceiver"/>

The section then utilised like this:

<SecondaryIdentifiersSect>
<setting name="aaa" serializeAs="String">
<value>a1</value>
</setting>

<setting name="bbb" serializeAs="String">
<value>b1</value>
</setting>

<setting name="ccc" serializeAs="String">
<value>c1</value>
</setting>
</SecondaryIdentifiersSect>

and then accessed in code like this:

System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection sect = (System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection)System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection("SecondaryIdentifiersSect");

foreach (System.Configuration.SettingElement e in sect.Settings)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Name);
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Value.ValueXml.InnerText);

}

Problem while encrypting sessionState

shehezada30-Sep-08 22:51

30-Sep-08 22:51

I am encrypting the web.config using RSA technique, and using aspnet_regiis command to do this. I successfully encrypted the <connectionstrings> and <appsettings> tags. However I got the following error while encrypting the <sessionstate> tag:-

The configuration section 'sessionState' was not found.
Failed!

The command that I used is:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>aspnet_regiis <br />
-pe "sessionState" -app "/LiveOne" -prov "LOProvider"

Kindly tell me a successful way to do this.

Re: Problem while encrypting sessionState

Encryption is used to encrypt sections - not individual tags. Why you would want to encrypt the sessionState tag is beyond me.

what is java's Logger.getRootLogger() in log4net?

buchstaben30-Sep-08 21:00

30-Sep-08 21:00

Hi,

can anyone tell me the c# way to get the log4net root logger?

background:
there's a dll wich executes any code specified via xml (dest. assembly path, dest. method, etc.). within this dll, log4net is correctly configured and works fine.
now i want to use the same logger from any of my dest. dlls. calling LogManager.GetRepository() and navigating through some public and private fields via visual studio tells that both appenders (configured in base dll) are available. But how to access them?

hello everybody,

i have a datatable wich i want it to be attached in an email as excel(.xls)
in order to do that:
1. i'm exporting the datatable into an excel file.
2. i'm saving it in a specific folder.
3. i'm attaching it.

is there any way to directly attach the datatable to an email as excel file directly without exporting and saving or at lest not saving because it's working on a server an i don't want to use its space

kind regards
