That makes a compressed NTFS folder, not a zip file....

Is this information incorrect then?

http://www.windowsnetworking.com/kbase/WindowsTips/WindowsXP/UserTips/Miscellaneous/CompressedZippedversusCompressionFoldersinXP.html

The article says that MSFT has used code based on WinZip7.

My Bad! You appear to be correct.
so the answer to the original request is....?

Wont work. All you need to do is create a new Text file on the Desktop or where ever you need in the file system, then rename it with a .ZIP extension. You can then drag and drop all the files you want into the new .ZIP.

I don't know how to get this to work in code though. For backward compatibility with Windows 2000/NT, you might want to try the #ziplib[^].

You're right... I was just responding to the notion that WinXP has no support for creating (actual) ZIP files.

Hello

How can I marshalling an array of structures from c# to an unamanaged c++ code?
Is is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it's possible. Check out this[^] little sample on MSDN.

Hello I'm pretty new to C# and programming in general. Anyway I was playing with WMI and have some code that will query a local machine and display some basic info about the local machine to the command prompt.

I would like to redirect this to a a MSDE database, could anyone let me know how I do this?

This is the code I have:

//WMI.cs
//Extracts computer system information using WMI

using System;
using System.Management;
namespace WMI
{
///

/// Summary description for Class1.
///

class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//

ManagementObjectSearcher query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem") ;
ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection1 = query1.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + mo["name"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Version : " + mo["version"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer : " + mo["Manufacturer"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Computer Name : " +mo["csname"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Windows Directory : " + mo["WindowsDirectory"].ToString());
}

query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem") ;
queryCollection1 = query1.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
Console.WriteLine("Manufacturer : " + mo["manufacturer"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Model : " + mo["model"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine(mo["systemtype"].ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Total Physical Memory : " + mo["totalphysicalmemory"].ToString());
}

query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_processor") ;
queryCollection1 = query1.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
Console.WriteLine(mo["caption"].ToString());
}

query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_bios") ;
queryCollection1 = query1.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
Console.WriteLine(mo["version"].ToString());
}

query1 = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_timezone") ;
queryCollection1 = query1.Get();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in queryCollection1 )
{
Console.WriteLine(mo["caption"].ToString());
}
}
}
}

Cheers

There is one more thing I don't know how to do...
This is a picture of my program

[IMG]http://img225.exs.cx/img225/9963/clipboard019vo.jpg[/IMG]

I want to add some numbers to these text fields (it would be optimal if a user can write just number or text,depends on my choice when creating text boxes). And when all fields are written user have to press right button bellow these text fields.
Now I would like that when user press that button, values from these text field replace values in existing data.txt file in some directory (for example C://prgram files/...) and program runs (for example blblbl.exe - fortran program). How can I do that?Also there is posibility that values in text box create new text docuent called data.txt in particular directory. That would be also grat!

Stefan tried to help me, but I am plain beginner and I didn't understand him much.

Hi I have written a Windows Service in C# to act as a backup utility when a user changes a file. It copies a set of selected files when it starts and then uses the FileSystemWatcher, but it will not copy a file if it is busy. Also the Service calls Reg.exe to copy HKLM\SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE and SYSTEM. But again it will not copy SECURITY because it is busy.
Is there a way round this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
P.S This is my first ever project in C# and I have had to teach myself. Sigh | :sigh:

You can't copy/export the Security key unless your service is running under the Local System account. Any other account will not have the rights to open that key.

Copying an open file depends on how the other application opened it. If it was opened with DenyShareRead, and/or your application is opening it for exclusive access, then you won't be able to open the file to copy it. There is no way around this...

Hi all,

I am doing a project in C#. its about creating and capturing packets. I have finished the part of capturing. I am using winpcap dll for capturing and libnetNT for packet creation. Creating and injecting of the packet onto the network is also complete.

i want to provide an interface to the user so that he can create a particular packet manually. i.e. enter the IP addresses and all. what can I use to take the inputs from the user? I dont want to use simple text boxex.
For displaying the packets I am using listview.

I am creating a custom groupbox control. Now i got a problem when a user is draging another user control and/or standard control into the my groupbox control (to add these controls into the groupbox control). I have not way to retrieve the obj from dataformats from the dragdrop parameter. I have read this article (http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/LANDragDrop.asp) but i think this is not appropriate with my need. And i think it should have another way to handle this secranio.

Please help me out, Thank you

What kind of input are you looking for -- IP address? If so, most apps go with 4 textboxes, one for each byte in the IP address. You can then do validation to make sure the data entered is valid.

thanks for replying. Smile | :)

I am thinking of taking the inputs for the entire packet. Which includes IP addresses, H/W addresses, port nos, flags etc.

should I use only text boxex for all the inputs?
apart from that, textboxes will give rise to strings. how do I convert string to Integer value, which are used to construct the packets?

No, I would use multiple textboxes. Like another poster said, there are controls for IP address input available on codeproject.

To convert string to integer, use

string myIntString = "5";
int myInteger = int.Parse(myIntString);

Search the articles here on Code Project for "ip address" and you'll get some useful examples.

Hi all,

I developed one windows forms application in C#.But I want to develop licensing scheme for this application based on per machine.I have to generate a unique key based on MacAddress whenever SetUp is installed on Client machine(I know how to retrieve MacAddress).Can anybody have idea in this type of application please reply back with some sample code or approach document.I am very new to this license applications.

Thanks in advance

I used following code for one of my buttons for opening .txt files:

openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\Fragmentacija\Fortran\";
openFileDialog1.Title = "Izaberite dokument";
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Izlazni dokument|*.txt|Svi dokumenti (*.*)|*.*";
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1;
openFileDialog1.FileName = "Data" ;
openFileDialog1.CheckFileExists = true;
openFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;

if ( openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK )
return;

however, dialog box can see that particular file, but if I try to open it, it won't open (that data.txt file) How can cope with this.

anyone?

What do you mean with that? Are you getting an exception and if so, what does it say?
And please include the code that tries to open the file. It's difficult to help, if you present code that works and tell us that afterwards something goes wrong.

www.troschuetz.de

The OpenFileDialog only capture the location of the selected file to open the file u have to select the file from the Open dialog box then include this code:

if ( openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK )
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(openFileDialog1.FileName);

Good Luck!

private void menuItem9_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = @"C:\Fragmentacija\Fortran\";
openFileDialog1.Title = "Izaberite izlazni dokument";
openFileDialog1.Filter = "Izlazni dokument|*.txt";
openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1;
openFileDialog1.FileName = "Data" ;
openFileDialog1.CheckFileExists = true;
openFileDialog1.CheckPathExists = true;

if ( openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() != DialogResult.OK )
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(openFileDialog1.FileName);

}

this is my code, but again, I can't open data.txt file in notepad

If this is what you really have in your code, no wonder it doesn't work!

( next line of code will execute only when selecting file name fail ... now replace != with == Wink | ;)
