There are plenty of software which lock your folders, some are free, other costs a lot of money. Why you’ll waste time and money when you could do it with your notepad.
* Consider you want to lock a folder named PICS in your D:\, whose path is D:\PICS
* Now open the Notepad and type the following
ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
* Where pics is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
* Open another new notepad text file and type the following
ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pics
* Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
Usage:
* To lock the pics folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
* To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible.
Thats is what I want to do using C#.NET and nothing malicious in it, I guess. I swear I am upto no malicious thing. I cant make things to be understand properly because I am poor in english and that turns to be malicious, I dont know why!?

It hasn't really locked it. It has just made the file unusable in Window Explorer - You can still access the file via other routes.

Hi Colin,
Can you suggest me any such route via which I can access the folder? I thought that it was blocked while it transformed into the control panel icon and if tried to access it, it would navigate to the Control panel.

That only fools Explorer. It doesn't do anything to stop someone from using their own version of Explorer, and better yet, doesn't stop anyone from using the CMD prompt to get into the folder and renaming it back to normal.
Again, you're lack of understanding of Windows, Windows Security and NTFS is glaringly obvious.

Normally I don't offer advice to people, but I think you need some help with your people skills here. Over a period of time, you've managed to arouse the suspicions of the regulars in the forum, and you've posted questions that show a lack of understanding about .NET, hence the reason that you have been advised to purchase books on C#.
You may want to stop using this identity, create a new user and use that to post in future. Before you do this though, stop and think about why people have been talking like this to you. These guys are good guys, and they give a lot of advice in the forums. It may be time for you to face the fact that the problem isn't them, but you. Yes, English isn't your first language but it's the same for a lot of the others who post here, many of whom successfully get answers to their problems.

Apparently, advice is not the only thing that is given free of cost here. As a matter of fact, we give professional guidance, suggestions, source code, etc,. and that's FREE OF COST. Not to mention the articles. You just need to take your head out that dark hole to see it. You also need to relaise that you have made yourself the butt of a joke here and you cannot blame anyone else for that.
And the advice you were talking about, came from a man whose development experience is more than my age. If I were you, I would have taken his advice very seriously instead of mocking him or posting meaningless stuff any further.
With millions of members and literally hundreds of queries solved across several boards each and every day here, if *you* have a problem, then *you* need an attitude adjustment, not anyone else.

In the reply I gave to the post that you refer to, I gave you a phrase to google for. The first page of the results for that search all showed how to achieve what you were trying to do.
Please explain to me how that is either useless or hurtful.
You are a spoiled, lazy deceitful little brat, aren't you?
Just in case you were wondering, that last bit was meant to be hurtful.

I'd seriously think about taking Pete's advice, your list includes some of the most helpful and knowledgable people on the forum. Oh and the most persistent, I gave up on you weeks ago. You need to step back, evaluate your position and make some adjustments to your attitude, it stinks.
I think you will find a great lack of sympathy on this site from here on!

Rajdeep,
Why do you think you receive sugestions that you should "learn to google", "learn C#", "Go read a book", etc.?
Could it be:
That you continually ask basic questions?
That you show no knowledge of the subjects?
That you show no signs of learning from previous answers?
That you don't seem to think about what you are doing, at all?
I do not care if you are sixteen or sixty. It does not matter how good your english is. Many poeple here have much worse english than you, but they get help. Sometimes it means asking them to rephrase the question, but not always.
Look at the questions that get answers: what do they have, that yours don't? Effort. Signs that the askee is trying to learn, rather than sitting there expecting to be spoon fed.
And you are suprised and hurt when people don't give you what you want!
I will add some advice to my previous sugestions:
Grow up. The world is a big, unfriendly place. If you annoy people, they will not help you.

Hi OriginalGriff,
I already apologized and I promise not to ask any basic questions from now on. And I really respect you people. I am just 5 to 6 months experienced in .NET, whereas the other guys replying to my queries, including you, are like Grand Masters to me. Yeah I dont know why I go crazy when I dont get what I want. Thats my attitude and I need to change it. The best of all this is that, I am lucky enough to get suggestions and advices from these many people out here. But maybe, I failed to understand those suggetions.
Goodbye forever,

Without any exception or error information at all, my best guesses are as follows:
1. is the computer on
2. does it have the .net framework
3. does it have access to the internet

Come on, with a post like that it makes me wonder if the OP even dev'ed using a .net language. I mean less information couldn't be provided. I'm half waiting for the topic of the thread to be turned into [message deleted] when he see's my point about the framework being a requirement and not a suggestion.

Visual Studio 2008 / C# / windows application
I have some application settings and would like to iterate through them so that I can put them into a list. So far I have not been able to find a way.
I've tried to use an enumerator
IEnumerator enuEnumerator = Properties.Settings.Default.Properties.GetEnumerator();
while (enuEnumerator.MoveNext())
{
MessageBox.Show(enuEnumerator.Current.ToString());
}
but the string is "System.Configuration.SettingsProperty"
Also, I cannot use an indexer because a string is required raher than a number...
Properties.Settings.Default.Properties[i]
Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,
If you cast the enumerator's Current value to a SettingsProperty then you should get to the information you need. My code essentially does that and shows how to enumerate both the default and current value collections.
internal void ShowSettings() {
Console.WriteLine("Default values");
SettingsPropertyCollection spc = Properties.Settings.Default.Properties;
foreach (SettingsProperty sp in spc) {
Console.WriteLine("{0} '{1}'", sp.Name, sp.DefaultValue);
}
Console.WriteLine("\nCurrent values");
SettingsPropertyValueCollection spvc = Properties.Settings.Default.PropertyValues;
foreach (SettingsPropertyValue spv in spvc) {
Console.WriteLine("{0} '{1}'", spv.Name, spv.PropertyValue);
}
}
Alan.

I have read many articles on expception handling in C# and I have a question regarding the use of multiple catch blocks. Is there any purpose for using multiple (specific) catch blocks if all exceptions will be handled the same way?
NOTE: At the moment I am only adding exception logging to the application not exception handling.
|
|
|
|
|
Hi,
if you want to catch *all* Exception types and threat them identically, then no there is no use in having separate catch blocks.
BTW: logging is fine, not dealing with the Exception probably is a poor choice, since (unless you rethrow the Exception) the caller will be unaware something went wrong.

Thanks Luc. I am planning on doing something with the exception besides swallowing it...Probably rethrow, I just haven't decided yet.
