I have solved this by changing the expression as follows...
Regex rx = new Regex(@"password='([a-zA-Z0-9\\%^&_*]+)\'");

Why are you escaping the underscore character? it is a normal character as far as Regex is concerned, just like + and -

Simple. Underscore is not a metacharacter, so it doesn't need escaping (preceding with backslash).

Got the idea, Thanks...
again i have another question... Here is my updated expression...
string x = "user = 'sa' password='e X65dere!@#$%^&*()' server = 'localhost'";
Regex rx = new Regex(@"password=\'([a-zA-Z0-9\\!@#$%^&*|() _'""*-+{}<>,.;/?:~`\[\]\\\\]+)\'");
var r = rx.Match(x);
if (r.Groups.Count > 0)
{
var g1 = r.Groups[0];
MessageBox.Show(g1.ToString());
}
In this case it will match for every small & large cap letters, numbers and special characters except = . If the password contains = the expression fails... can you please help?

The reason is the quantifier + is greedy quantifier, that is it matches everything that matches the pattern up to the end of the input string. In your case it matches
password='e X65dere!@#$%^&*()' server = 'localhost'
when = is put in the pattern as every thing in between the first ' and last ' matches according to the pattern given when = included. To change this behaviour use the lazy quantifier that is +? instead of + alone.

Hey everybody,
I'm experiencing a pretty awful error on visual studio 2008
That error happens when I try to make a new WPF application, and I don't know why.
Here's the image for the error:click here
I hope someone can help me out!
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry for posting it in the wrong section!

It seems the project was created by a Professional or Ultimate version of Visual Studio and you're using the Express version?

I'm using the express edition on Visual Studio 2008.
And I'm using windows XP Professional SP2

Yes, I gathered that from your screenshot. Was the project also created in VS2008 Express?

lol, that error happens when I try to create a new project, not to open an existing one. Well it happens also when I try to open an existing one!
|

|

Just to confirm, are you running VS2008 Express or VS2008 Express Web Developer Edition? The latter doesn't support creating WPF applications.

lol, I'm using only VS2008 Express Edition, not the other one. And I used to create WPF applications, but I don't know what has happened.

Open visual studio command prompt and type in devenv /resetsettings. This will reset VS to factory settings.
Note however, this will reset all VS settings and you might lose all of them.
|
|
|
|
|
It showed me that this command doesn't exist.
Actually, I've searched the C: directory (System directory) for devenv, but found nothing.
Please help me!

It's not included in the path of the normal command prompt, it is included in the "visual studio command prompt", conveniently located in the start-menu.
It's also not a command, but the name of the application that you are using as an IDE to write applications. It's located in the "Program Files" folder, under "Microsoft Visual Studio N/Common7/IDE".

Stop panicking; a quick Google-search would have revealed both the location of the app as well as all possible switches.

Firstly, I'm not that idiot so that I don't know the difference between command prompt and VS command prompt that comes with VC++.
Secondly, can't you read that I've searched the whole C: directory for that file?

I wouldn't have asked that question from the first place if I didn't try to Google for its answer.

Open up your start menu and locate Visual Studio; right click on it and select Properties from the context menu - this opens up a window which contains the full path to devenv.exe.
|
|
|
|
|
The directory for Visual C# 2008 was C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE and there's no devenv file in it.
BTW, I didn't download the whole package, but only Visual C# 2008 Express Edition!

Aight, that one should accept "devenv" as a command.

Aw, in that case you'd have to install Visual Studio.

Have you tried creating the application in a location other than the temporary directory?

Can you please explain how to do it? Maybe that's my solution. Damn, I'm so tired of searching for a week!

When you do File New Solution, the dialog that appears has a directory to create it in at the bottom. Set it to a sensible directory; for instance I always use d:\dev.
