Hi all, i'm trying to access files on a networked dirve using the UNC name "\\myServer\d$".
Unfortunately if i dont have a drive mapped when i try to find files on the server i get an IOException saying that the directory doesn't exist.
I found some useful comments at the bottom of an article talking about using WHScript's MapNetworkDrive method. This sounds good but i can't get it to work. Here's my code which is only slightly different from the comment on the article.
public void InvokeComMember(string member, params object[] param)
{
Type type;
Object o;
try
{
type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("WScript.Network");
o = Activator.CreateInstance(type);
type.InvokeMember(member, BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, o, param);
}
catch{}
finally
{
type = null;
o = null;
}
}
The paramaters being passed in are...
InvokeComMember("MapNetworkDrive", @"\\" + serverName + @"\d$", "", false, userName, password);
serverName, userName and password are all strings that i've double checked are correct.
The exception i get is...
System.Exception: Invoke Com Error ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The network name cannot be found.
When i type the same \\"serverName"\d$ into the run window i get a connection fine so i know the serverName variable is correct.
Anyone know either...
1. What i'm doing wrong with this or
2. Another way of getting at the files on the UNC'd server.
Cheers

Yeah i found that. The example i gave was from the comments section of that article. The class used in the article requires you to provide a drive letter. The ideas used in the comments section at the bottom of the article givesa a way of doing it without using a drive letter but i can't get it to work.
All i want to do is access some files using a unc name and the relevant login cridentials.
Cheers

Hi,
Why doesn't this unselect?
(On MouseUp)
row = HitInfo.Row;<br />
if (dg.IsSelected(row)){this.dg.UnSelect(row);}<br />
else {this.dg.Select(row);}
I threw a messagebox in before this.dg.UnSelect(row); and I can't even get it to come up.
Thanks for any help!

Sorry i don't have the solution but your problem is with the mouse down and up events. When you click your mouse, in the mouse down event a cell is being selected so the row is not selected.
Making IsSelected() return false evey time.
Hope that helps you find a solution.
Cheers

Is there a way using .NET Generics of providing a C# equivalent to the following C++?
<pre>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
class Employee
{
public:
Employee(int id, const string& name) : _id(id), _name(name) {}
int id() const { return _id; }
string name() const { return _name; }
private:
int _id;
string _name;
};
// Employees are equal if they share the same name.
class EmployeeEqualTo
{
public:
EmployeeEqualTo(string name) : _name(name) {}
bool operator()(const Employee& employee) const
{ return employee.name() == _name; }
private:
string _name;
};
void Run()
{
vector<Employee> employees;
employees.push_back(Employee(1, "Peter"));
employees.push_back(Employee(2, "Paul"));
employees.push_back(Employee(3, "Helen"));
vector<Employee>::const_iterator it;
string match;
// Find Paul
match = "Paul";
it = find_if(employees.begin(), employees.end(), EmployeeEqualTo(match));
cout << "Name: " << it->name() << ", id: " << it->id() << "\n";
// Find Helen
match = "Helen";
it = find_if(employees.begin(), employees.end(), EmployeeEqualTo(match));
cout << "Name: " << it->name() << ", id: " << it->id() << "\n";
}
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
Run();
return 0;
}
</pre>
The key thing here is that we just need to define a single function object EmployeeEqualTo to find an employee that is equal to a match that we specify.
Now consider a C# generics attempt.
<pre>
class Employee
{
public Employee(int id, string name)
{
_id = id;
_name = name;
}
private int _id;
public int ID
{
get { return _id; }
}
private string _name;
public string Name
{
get { return _name; }
}
}
class EmployeeTester
{
public void Run()
{
List<Employee> employees = new List<Employee>();
employees.Add(new Employee(1, "Peter"));
employees.Add(new Employee(2, "Paul"));
employees.Add(new Employee(3, "Helen"));
Employee employee;
// Find Paul
employee = employees.Find(EmployeeEqualToPaul);
Console.WriteLine("Name = {0}, ID = {1}", employee.Name, employee.ID);
// Find Helen
employee = employees.Find(EmployeeEqualToHelen);
Console.WriteLine("Name = {0}, ID = {1}", employee.Name, employee.ID);
}
/// <summary>
/// Is employee Paul?
/// </summary>
private bool EmployeeEqualToPaul(Employee employee)
{
return employee.Name == "Paul";
}
/// <summary>
/// Is employee Helen?
/// </summary>
private bool EmployeeEqualToHelen(Employee employee)
{
return employee.Name == "Helen";
}
}
</pre>
We have to define two predicates, EmployeeEqualToPaul and EmployeeEqualToHelen to provide the same functionality. Is there a way of defining a single predicate in this case?

Hi Kevin!
Just like you used a separate class to host the predicate in the C++ case, you can do the same in C#.
For example:
class EmployeeComparer
{
public static string Name;
public static bool Compare(Employee e)
{
return e.Name == Name;
}
}and then
EmployeeComparer.Name = "Helen";
employee = employees.Find(EmployeeComparer.Compare); will give you the employee with the given name.

mav

Yep. That looks fine. I'd sort of thought have something similar, but having that as part of the Employee class. Yours is neater though.

i've a database with this structure:
[Name]* = text
[Surname]*= text
[Address]= text
[Description] = text
[Note]= memo
[Image] = OLE OBJECT
[Number] = int32
string query = "INSERT INTO TableInformation ([Name], [Surname], [Address], [Description], [Note], [Image], [Attached], [Number]) VALUES('";
conn.Open();
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand();
// getName(), getSurname(), getAddress() return string
query += getName() + "', ";
query += getSurname() + ", '";
if(getAddress() != "")
query += "'" + getAddress() + "', ";
else
query += DBNull.Value + ", ";
// getMemo() return string
if(getMemo() != "")
query += "'" + getMemo() + "', ";
else
query += DBNull.Value + ", ";
query += "@Image, ";
// image is byte[]
if(image != null){
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Image", OleDbType.VarBinary, (int)image.Length).Value = image;
}
else
cmd.Parameters.Add("@Image", DBNull.Value);
}
if(getValue() != "")
query += "'" + getValue();
else
query += DBNull.Value;
query += ")";
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = query;
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
the query when image is null is like this:
---------------------------
INSERT INTO TableInformation ([Name], [Surname], [Address], [Description], [Note], [Image]) VALUES('Sasuko', 'Divos', 'green street', 'It is good', , @Image, )
but i get a INSERT INTO error, why?

For security's sake you already know how to do parameters. Make ALL the values being inserted in to parameters!

You did this for image column - Do it for all the other values as well. This will improve the security of your application and assist in reducing the ability of a mallicious attacker getting to your database via your web application. For more information read: SQL Injection Attacks and some tips on how to prevent them[^]
I can understand someone who does not know about parameters not using them, but it is obvious you know how to add a parameter to the commnand (as you demonstrated it in your code). It seems strange to use parameters for some values but not others.

Because the fifth and sevent values are missing.
You can't put a DBNull value into a string, you have to add the text "null" to the string.

Like this:
string originalString = "I like cats.";
string oldValue = "cats";
string newValue = "dogs";
string newString = originalString.Replace(oldValue, newValue);

Hello!
I would like to import conactinformation to Microsoft Outlook C#. I know how to do this if you want the information to be put into your regular contactlist in Microsoft Outlook. But I can't get it to be a part of "Public Folders -> All Public Folders". Here is my code:
<br />
public void exportContactToOutlook(Person contact)<br />
{<br />
Outlook.Application objOutlook = new Outlook.ApplicationClass();<br />
NameSpace outlookNS = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI");<br />
MAPIFolder contactFolder = outlookNS.GetDefaultFolder(OlDefaultFolders.olPublicFoldersAllPublicFolders);<br />
<br />
<br />
Outlook.ContactItem objContact = (Outlook.ContactItem)objOutlook.CreateItem(Outlook.OlItemType.olContactItem); <br />
objContact.CompanyName = contact.CompanyName;<br />
objContact.Save();<br />
}<br />
This will only save it to the regular contactlist. I know that this code shouldn't work but what is the missing link? Any ideas?

How can be a transparent panel control can be created. As I tried in many ways but it is applicable to window but not to the required control (panel), as well as I also have observed that Transparency will be applicable to windows forms but not to user control. Is it so, if yes why.

i have tried a lot but did not find any method for that
i think it's impossible

Try making a bitmap that is all one colour and setting it as the background image for your panel.
Then add the following code to the form_Load event
Bitmap bitmap = (Bitmap)pnlBackground.BackgroundImage;
bitmap.MakeTransparent(bitmap.GetPixel(1, 1));
TransparencyKey = BackColor;
You may also need to start the form minimized and then do WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal; I don't know why but sometimes this is the case.
Cheers

Hi,
How to start and stop windows services using c# asp.net.
Thanks

You can use the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController class, from the System.ServiceProcess.dll assembly.
Bear in mind that you generally need administrative privileges to stop or start a service, which your ASP.NET code will not normally have. You'll typically have to change the user that the code runs under. On Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you configure this with the <processModel> element in the Machine.config file, and it affects all ASP.NET applications on the server; on Windows Server 2003 you configure it through the Internet Information Services administration console, all applications in the same application pool share the same worker process.
Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

I am reading a file into a listBox as follows:
***********************************
StreamReader SR;
FileStream FS = File.Open("c:\\wsIder\\info.ini", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
SR = new StreamReader(FS);
string line;
while((line = SR.ReadLine()) != null)
{
viewS.Items.Add(line);
}
SR.Close();
******************************
the file contains section separated with bracket like this
[SEC1]
...some text
[SEC2]
...some text
etc
When I display the file in the listbox, I would like to use colored text for the sections. [SEC1]=red, {sec2]=green..etc
Any idea how to do this?

With the standard listbox control, you cannot do that. You need a owner drawn listbox. See this article: this is probably what you need:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/combobox/colorlistbox.asp[^]
Once you have implemented the listbox as described in the article, you just have to do some parsing of the text you read from the file, like if the line starts with a '[' then change that item's color to red... etc etc
