Could you please be a little more specific? There's lots of security "issues" (not holes or anything, but things you must understand).
You might want to take a look at Understanding .NET Code Access Security[^] for a good overview of CAS and follow the links to MSDN for more detail.

I wanted to use a .mov file in my splash screen. Can anyone give me some pointers? Are any other video file formats easier to use?
|

You can use DirectX to include both audio and video playback. Read this[^] for more information. The only caveat is I am not aware that it will/won't play a .mov file.

I was wondering what the pros and cons of using convert vs parse, as in
<br />
string s = "2";<br />
<br />
Convert.ToInt32(s);<br />
<br />
int.Parse(s);<br />
|

Probably the best way to anser that question is by writing a quick program.
Capture the time, do 1000 Convert.ToInt32();, capture the time,
do 1000 int.Parse(), capture the time. Then see if there is a difference worth noting.

Hi!
I don´t know the exactly function of both methods, but there is one big difference.
I can´t explain it in words, just try following code:
using System;
using System.Globalization;
namespace DummyTest
{
///
/// Summary description for Class2.
///
public class Class2
{
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
string test = "2,5";
try
{
double i = Convert.ToDouble(test);
Console.WriteLine(i);
double a = double.Parse(test, NumberStyles.Float);
Console.WriteLine(a);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception: ", err.Message);
}
}
Console.Readline();
}
}
So you can see, the Convert method try to convert equal what he gets, and with the parse method you are able to specify the input format.
Certainly there are more pro´s and con´s but I only know this one...

I saw an episode of MSDN TV[^] recently with Anders Hejlsberg in which he said there is no real difference between the two. The Convert class is just meant to be a "one-stop shop" for conversions between all the primitive types, but there's no real advantage or disadvantage over calling the Parse or ToString methods of individual types.

Internally, the Convert.ToInt32 simply calls int.Parse, but checks for null values before the call. Convert.ToInt32 calls a specific overloaded method of Parse that passes a null value for the IFormatProvider parameter of another overloaded version of the Parse method. Given this, you can see that Parse provides extended functionality allowing the developer to specify their own IFormatProvider if they choose. In the end it all depends on what you are trying to do, and what functionality you want to get out of it.

Hi folks,
OK, what I'm interested in are the technical pros and cons of data initialisation in a classes.
I.e. which is better?
class Test<br />
{<br />
private int mInt = -1;<br />
Test()<br />
{<br />
}<br />
}
or
class Test<br />
{<br />
private int mInt;<br />
Test()<br />
{<br />
mInt = -1;<br />
}<br />
}
The reason I ask is that I usually have several constructors on my classes and I prefer the first method so I can guarantee that whichever constructor I'm entering, all the fields are initialised the same way.
But are there technical reasons not to do this?

I think that the first method is much better too, because it is possible that you have problems to initialize the variable at a later time.
(perhaps in a try-catch chapter -> than you are not able to use the new instanced variable out of this chapter)
With the first method a variable is certainly instanced which is easier to handle.
So it´s also easier and safer to check if a variable is set to an invalid value than to check if this variable is instanced.
So if I´m wrong please rectify me...

I don't believe there is any technical reason to prefer the second method (Unless you're a VB programmer;P). As you point out the first method gaurantees the variable will be initialed to a useful value no matter which constructor you use.

It compiles down to the same thing. If you don't declare a default constructor, one is defined for you anyway and instance fields are initialized in it.
The only difference is that instance fields initialized outside the default constructor - when compiled - are initialized before base.ctor() is called. Any fields you initialize explicitly in your default constructor are initialized after the call to base.ctor() (compiled into your default constructor automatically).

Hi. How can I show a message when I get an exception in a web service? In other apps I use the Message property of the exception object, but with the web service I don't know how to do that.
How do you show exception information if the error comes from a web service?
Regards,
Diego F.

Since the nature of the Web Service is like a 'server' process which runs in the background and caters users requests silently, it is best suited to
a. Log the error in local text/xml files, windows event log which can be monitored by the IIS Admin
b. If a particular WebMethod gives errors/exceptions you should inform the user about the failure using some <errorcode> tag being set in the returned xml.

If you are invoking the web Service with C++ Code like
pWSClient = new COleDispatchDriverWrapper;
if(pWSClient->CreateDispatch("MSSOAP.SoapClient30"))
pWSClient->mssoapinit((LPCTSTR)pWebServiceParams->csWebServiceLink, (LPCTSTR)pWebServiceParams->csServiceName, (LPCTSTR)pWebServiceParams->csServicePort, NULL);
You can catch exception such as (in the given order)
catch(COleException *eCOleException)
catch(COleDispatchException *eCOleDispatchException)
catch(CException *eCException)
catch(_com_error &ecom_error)
catch(...)

Hello everybody!
I want to have a permanent data transfer to another machine via TCP/IP Socket Communication. I actually coded a solution which will work fine. But one thing does not work:
In my code the SocketServer does not recognize that the client has disconnected. How can I recognize this?
In the case that the client disconnected, my code is waiting for Data and there is logically no dataflow anymore.
Here´s the important extract from my code:
[STAThread]
public static void Main()
{
Socket mySocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp);
IPEndPoint myEndPoint = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 65000);
mySocket.Bind(myEndPoint);
try
{
mySocket.Listen(20);
Socket sa = mySocket.Accept();
byte[] buffer = new byte[5];
string tmpString = "";
NetworkStream myStream = new NetworkStream(sa, true);
while (sa != null)
{
if (myStream.DataAvailable)
{
int read = 0;
read = myStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
tmpString = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer, 0, read);
Console.WriteLine(tmpString);
}
}
}
catch (SocketException sockErr)
{
Console.WriteLine("Socket Exception: ", sockErr.Message);
}
catch (Exception err)
{
Console.WriteLine("Exception: ", err.Message);
}
mySocket.Close();
}
Thanks for any help
