starting Windows service again on exception..

Create a background worker in your application.

It has three events that you will want to handle.

.DoWork:
put you code that does the upload file here, at the end of each file report the progress as a percentage ( 100 / totalNumFiles * numFilesUploaded), this is done via BackgroundWorker1.ReportProgress()

.ProgressChanged:
update your progress bar value with the percentage passed as in the event args i.e. ProgressBar1.Value = e.ProgressPercentage

.WorkerComplete:
notify the user that the uploading has been complete or whatever you do after its finished.

Once you have coded these event handlers you can start the upload with BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync();
As this will start a new thread you will need to pass any data that your uploading code may need as parameters to the above function

i.e

string[] filepaths = {"file1", "file2"};
string destinationPath = "destination path";

BackgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(new object[]{filepaths, destinationPath});

then at the start of your .DoWork event handler you can aquire these value with the following code:

object[] args = (object[])e.Argument;
string[] filepaths = (string[])args[0];
string destinationPath = (string)args[1];

thans for that.. but is the code in the
public override onstop()
{
//progie code
}

will this function execute when the service is stopped due to abnormal execution such as exception....

It is unlikely that any event will fire when you get an exception. Your best bet would be to handle an errors and exceptions so your service does not crash. I dont really want to suggest putting the whole service in one try/catch block and doing some restarting code in that but its your choice what approach you take

ok... if you are free can u tell will the service crash when the exception eccurs in the service...and i am sending the data from systems on the network to the service. and when the number of clients get more i get the exception "The IAsyncResult object was not returned" at the client side and insted of client crashing my service crashes....can i get some help with this...

Im afraid i can not give you any detailed help on this subject but it appears that you have a problem handling your connections in your service. the service should ideally receive a request for a connection, check anything that may stop it using a new connection, and then report back to the client with a success/fail message in regards to the connection request.

EDIT:

Yes the service will crash just like any application would if an unhandled exception is thrown

So... you want to upload a file to a server? you could create an FTP for the server

Thanks for your suggestion.

Is it not possible using DataSet.WriteXml(url) ?

because I could able to read xml file from url by following code

 XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();<br />
            NetworkCredential nc = new NetworkCredential("id", "pwd");<br />
            resolver.Credentials = nc;<br />
<br />
            // Get a Stream object containing the XML file.<br />
            Uri myUri = new Uri("http://domain/Assessments/Expenses.xml");<br />
            Stream s = (Stream)resolver.GetEntity(myUri, null, typeof(Stream));<br />
<br />
            // Construct a reader using the Stream object.<br />
            XmlTextReader xmlTextReader = new XmlTextReader(s);<br />
<br />
            XmlDataDocument xdoc1 = new XmlDataDocument();<br />
            xdoc1.DataSet.ReadXml(xmlTextReader, XmlReadMode.Auto);<br />
<br />
            DataSet ds = xdoc1.DataSet;

How this logic will be applied for Writing XML to URL ?

im not sure if it is possible to write to a file like you are suggesting, and if it was possible it would more than likely require permissions to be set on the server for that kind of write access.

Hi,

I'm trying to copy a URL to clipboard by using following code

Clipboard.SetText("http://somewhere.com" ,TextDataFormat.Html   );

But nothing comes out, essentially i want to copy a URL and when i paste to Word or some place it should come out with Blue underlined i.e it should be a link.

Thanks in advance....

How can I get the copy of the pdf file when it is opened on IE?

30-Mar-09 2:31

after a brief test it would appear that word expects a paste to be in the format of 'Text' so it will paste only the last 'Text' object on the clipboard. Setting the TextDataFormat to Html will therefore not paste into word. If you change it to text it will paste into word and word will auto handle the fact that it is a link when you hit 'enter'.

Your URL is not a HTML link. Try

Clipboard.SetText("<a href=\"http://somewhere.com\">http://somewhere.com</a>" ,TextDataFormat.Html);

Hi, I had small application of BHO, through which I can retrieve the PDF files from cache using DocumentComplete and NavigateComplete2 Events of webbrowser. To get the PDF filepath, I used a filter of following:
http://theagussantoso.blogspot.com/2008/11/get-temporary-internet-explorer-files.html
The url can be obtained from the parameters of respective events.

but when I had retrived the PDF file copy through the filter present in above link, I was unable to get the URL through the events.
How can I get the copy of the pdf file when it is opened on IE?
