I'm using the free edtFTP library to send a text file to an OpenVMS server. The transfer itself works fine, but at some point in the transfer process, the file looses its carriage returns (or linefeeds?), and the lines all wrap at the 512 character mark. How do I fix that? I've tried changing the encoding, but nothing seems to work.

John first of all I know nothing about FTP BUT if edtFTP Library is using readline to get the file line by line, from memory I think that readline strips CRLF.
Hope this helps.

If you open a can of worms, any viable solution *MUST* involve a larger can.

I'll have to look at the source code - I just threw their binary into the solution and went with it.

Im being presumptuous John and assuming you mean 'ASCII/BINARY' encoding here, with the edtFTP TransferType (I think, I only had a quick look) setting - and I dont think thats it .. been a long time since worked with any sort of VMS, but it sounds like the record attributes of the file are 'none', ie in VMS Speak, 'fixed-512'..
What you need the record attributes to be are something like
Stream-LF or
Stream-CR-LF
There's a command that goes someting like $ SET FILE/ATTRIBUTE=<attribute> <file> that may or may not change the file attributes, but Im pretty sure you need the VMS end set to other than 'fixed-512' ..
Internally VMS stores the records differently, but I dont think thats relevant here - its the FTP server's job to handle it ...
Sorry, not much help ...
[edit] - this link has some basic info - Ive cut out three possibly useful bits, below ...
http://saf.bio.caltech.edu/vms_sheet.html[^]
$ ANAL/RMS <filename> Determine the attributes and organization of a file.
$ SET FILE/ATTRIB=(ORG:SEQ,RFM:FIX,LRL:512,MRS:512) <filename>
Reset the file's attributes, do not reorganize its data.
This is used most often to patch up files retrieved via binary FTP.

Those would be FTP commands? I'll look into that.
BTW, the code I'm writing is replacing a java app that didn't appear to have to do any of that stuff. The code is at work, so I can't post the relevant bits until Monday.

No, they are vms dcl commands -
the equiv of a dos shell/console session I guess
(You may be able to use ftp 'site' if its implemented in openvms ftp server - I doubt it)
.. Sorry bout formatting of this msg - I'm reading/replying from a crackberry Bold

That's not possible, then. I have to be able to just upload the file and have it be correct.
The code I wrote is replacing a java app that appeared to be able to just upload the file. In fact, the java app was able to call the CHDIR FTP command using the virtual folder name ("MY_FOLDER_001") defined in OpenVMS, while I had to use the this as my default folder: "MY_VOLUME:[MY_FOLDER.001]". Until I did that, I couldn't even transfer the file. I wonder why Java can do it, but C#/.Net can't...

its odd .. looking at their code they are obviously familiar with OS400, Unix AND VMS, yet you're having issues
as an aside, while I know you're doing it in C#/.NET, I wonder if there's any point to testing their free java client code or one of their commercial .NET products (they seem to have 'trials') as well
hopefully they will see your post to their forum and answer it soon - if you were using the free .NET version with a view to buying the commercial version, I could give them a call for you given they are in the same country - in my second home actually, Brisbane - but my guess is you dont want the commercial version

Hi,
I apologize if this question is in the wrong place.
I inherited a C# windows service from a previous developer but I am having some trouble with his code. It is a windows service that can have classes loaded into it without having to recompile the service. I am assuming this is done by the windowsservice.exe.config file, specifically the
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="currencyworker" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="null"/>
<codeBase version="1.1.0.0" href="currencyworker.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
A second config file gives the name of the class and its namespace. The windows service takes that info and uses the Type.GetType(typeName); function on it and then instantiates it. The problem I am having is that the .GetType function keeps returning null when I start the service leading me to believe that my syntax or something else is wrong with the windowsservice.exe.config file and that the class(currencyworker.currency in my case) is not being loaded. I have gotten it to work before but its rather random and not consistent so I can't seem to locate what is going wrong. Any help on this would be great, my understanding of this is not high so I am sorry if this doesn't make sense or is confusing.

A Type name in a configuration file should be case-sensitive and fully qualified. That means that you need the namespace and the assembly name of the assembly its contained within:
Name.Space.CurrencyWorker, Name.Space
Assuming that a type CurrencyWorker exists in assembly Name.Space.dll or Name.Space.exe.

Shut down windows. That will close all the applications - and in a very green environmentally friendly way that uses very little power.

Over a month and you STILL can't figure this out? Nevermind searchin google, CP articles or even the message board would have given you the answer.
Ugh. I got so tired of this I gave up and coded it for you.
Here is the damn code.[^]

|

thank you
if you woudnot to replay
dont replay
i didnot ask you
|
|
|
|
|
blank[] blanklist = blank.Getblank();
foreach(blank theblank in blanklist)
{
theblank.blank();
}
If you can't figure it out, then go stupid business or some crap.

When you ask the same question over and over, when you have already been given the solution or told to Google an easier type of question you are going to get flamed. Now, if you want to be rude in your replies NO ONE WILL EVER HELP YOU AGAIN.
Do you understand this?

Windows doesn't have a utility to do this. You'll have to be a programmer and write one.

I'll probably get flamed for this, but I'm responding in the hope that you'll then go away.
What you want to do shouldn't be done - it's not your computer it's the users. They get to decide when their open applications should close. (Hint to possible solution later)
You've previosly asked about stopping running processes - again, you should not do this for the above reasons, plus some may be important to the system and could potentially hang the system totally if stopped.
You've also asked about stopping Explorer. The only valid reasons to do this are if Explorer has crashed in which case your C# program will not be accessible until it's restarted, or if you're writing your own shell - which can't be done in C#.
So - don't attempt to do any of these.
The first however may be acheivable using FindWindow and DestroyWindow from user32.dll. Have a look on pinvoke.net for more info.
Now stop asking the same/rephrased question - do some coding and post back only with specific problems in your code. 
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

I am using C# 2008 express. When I do a textBox.Text.Length it does not count escape sequence characters in the string ex."\r\n" has length of 2 instead of 4. I am trying to have a console window show what line of a file I am sending, I use the Text.Remove command to remove the previous string that displays the last count, and append the new string that show the current count.
Ex..
textBoxConsole.Text = "Sending File....\r\n";
int len = textBoxConsole.Text.Length;
for (int i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
{
textBoxConsole.Text.Remove(len - 1);
textBoxConsole.AppendText("Line 1 of 3");
}
The above code will produce the following string:
"Sending File....\rLine 1 of 3"
The "\n" is cut off because the length was not correct. If there is more text above this more characters will be cut off because of ignored "\"s.
If anybody has a better way to do this please let me know.
Thanks!
