I've tried looking into this. Have you figured out what is going on?

I'm using a webbrowser control and have set it to navigate to a given page, eg codeproject.com. Once it has loaded the page, how can i access the images that were downloaded on that page?
|
|

They are stored in the temporary files, but there's no real way for you to work out which file is what image. If you're examining the HTML anyhow, you'd find it easier to just download them again in your code.

I am currently doing that, by extracting the url from the src of the image combined with the page url, but as i am on dialup and they are large images, it seems pointless to download it twice.
In the cache (C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Temporary Internet Files), there are columns with the headings Name, Internet Address, Type, and Last Accessed.
Is there anyway i can go through the list of files, and search for one with the correct Internet Address property, then import this into my project to display?
eg:
<br />
Dir directory = "C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Temporary Internet Files";<br />
foreach(File f in directory)<br />
{<br />
if(f.Internet Address == imgAddr)<br />
{<br />
LoadIntoApp(f);<br />
}<br />
}<br />

The File class has no concept of these things, as you have probably found. If you can access them at all, it would be via some sort of shell/pinvoke operation. Even then, if there's more than one image in a page ( and there always is ), how will you know which is which ?

So i constructed a simple function which searches recursively through all the directories in the cache, including the hidden ones, looking for files with the same name as the image i just downloaded in the webbrowser. It then takes the one with the most recent creation date and gives me the full path to it.
A simple and inelegant hack, but it works =).
Posted below if it can help anyone.
<br />
private void SearchCache(string filename) <br />
{<br />
string filetype = filename.Substring(filename.LastIndexOf('.')+1).ToLower();<br />
filename = filename.Substring(0, (filename.LastIndexOf('.')));<br />
<br />
DateTime nowDT = DateTime.Now;<br />
DateTime latestFileDT = new DateTime();<br />
string filePath = "";<br />
<br />
string cachePath = @"C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5";<br />
<br />
DirectoryInfo cacheDir = new DirectoryInfo(cachePath);<br />
<br />
string regexPattern = "^"+filename+@"\[?(\d+)*\]?."+filetype+"$";<br />
Regex r = new Regex(regexPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase | RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace | RegexOptions.Compiled);<br />
<br />
foreach (DirectoryInfo d in cacheDir.GetDirectories())<br />
{<br />
foreach(FileInfo f in d.GetFiles())<br />
{<br />
if (r.IsMatch(f.Name))<br />
{<br />
if (f.CreationTime > latestFileDT)<br />
{<br />
latestFileDT = f.CreationTime;<br />
filePath = f.FullName;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />

That is the exception i am getting trying to show all the data from a table in sql.
This is how i am doing it:
SqlCon = new SqlConnection(ConnString);
SqlCmd = new SqlCommand();
SqlCmd.CommandText = "Select * From party";
SqlCmd.Connection = SqlCon;
SqlCon.Open();
dataReader = SqlCmd.ExecuteReader();
int i = 0;
int temp = 0;
while ((dataReader != null) && dataReader.Read())
{
temp = dataReader.GetInt32(1);
Votos[i] = temp;
i++;
}
What am i doing wrong???
Thanks all in advance!

Do you realise that 1 is the second column ? Have you tried using the debugger to work out what the data type in that column is ? It's always better to specify the column names you want, then you'd also know their order for sure, and you'd know what the second column was.

When a NullReferenceException is thrown in a complex method, is there any way to query the exception (or something in the Diagnostics namespace) to get the name of the object that caused the problem? By name, I mean the name I gave the object in the source code (even the type would be helpful in finding the little bugger).
I've centralized my exception reporting in the IDE I've written so that my clients can give me a lot of details about the environment at the time of the exception, but the one thing I need in these cases is the name of the blasted object that somehow got "nulled." If I understand correctly, .Net assemblies store all these symbols, so it should have access to this at runtime outside of Visual Studio. (BTW, I'm using VS2005.)
Anyway, I have the sense that this is a noob question, but I've looked all over and can't find a way to do this. (Other than put a lot of custom debugging code into my app which is not really practical now that it's deployed in the field.)
Also, I realize that finding this sort of thing is pretty straight forword in small, less complex methods, but I'm having issues tracking-down the fault in bigger methods, outside the IDE's debugger.
Your help (and patience) is much appreciated!  !

I don't think it's possible. My advice:
1 - break up big methods into smalle ones
2 - build logging in to your app, so you can add logging code for methods that crash on a client machine, and can just turn on logging in your config
3 - always log exceptions so you can track down errors.
4 - If you see more than one object that could be null, add checks for them all, they will all bite you at some point.

Thanks Christian, all good advice.
#1: Hmmm, I tend to keep my method size down to no more than a page already, but a method may involve many objects.
#2,#3: I'm already doing. I've got exceptions with centralized reporting bracketing most of my methods.
#4: Yeah, I may need to do this with specific assertion tests to go with the bracketing exception handler (which can't pinpoint the problem object). I've been layering my parameter validation, but apparently that's not sufficient.
It's disappointing that the CLR can't leverage the metadata at it's disposal to answer this silly, but crucial question.

Hi!
With debug builds you can at least get the line number and source file name where the exception occurrs, but you don't always have a name for the "thing" that evaluates to null.
For example, what should this "null object name" return in this case:
MyClass mc = new MyClass();
return (mc as AnotherClass).ToString();
A very simple and constructed case, but I think you can easily see that as soon as you combine two or more operations without assigning the result to a new variable every time, the runtime doesn't have a chance to give a name for the null object because it is not named explicitely.

mav

Dear friends,
Please help me with the following:
In a C# program, how can I reuse a method that takes classes (or list of classes, List<classname> ) as arguments? The method is defined inside a class.
Presently, the method in my program works only if "the object of the function call" and "the object defined in the parameter list of the function" are the same. Thus practically I have to repeat the method code as many times as the function is called, each with a different class as argument.
The following shows the gravity of my situation: Supposing there are 10 such methods in my c# program and each method (which by itself is quite long and detailed) has to be performed on 10 different classes as arguments.
What I want is, the method (written as a single copy, meaning, if-else option is ruled out) should accept any suitable class passed to it, any number of times, and produce the result. I am looking for a suitable way, using for example, inheritance. Use of gettype to resolve the classname doesnot work as it produces complie errors.
Suppose if the method takes Int or Double argument types, this problem does not arise; thus, is this a fundamental problem in OOP languages? Is there a classical method (I mean, not workaround) to overcome this problem?
Anyway I would be happy to learn an efficient workaround too!
Thanks for ur replies in advance!
Greetings,
Karthik

Then it should probably be refactored. I aim for methods to never be > 30 lines if I can help it.

No, oop has nothing to do with it, except that oop is the solution. You can either write a generic method ( which is not OOP, but lets you use any class you like ), or you can define a base class for all the classes you want to pass, and just write one method that passes that.

Indeed, one simple base class which the others are derived from. Now thats a feature i couldn't do without.
But remember, you can cast a derived class as its base class. But you cannot cast the base class, as one of its dervied classes.

Well, you can only cast it if it was an instance of the derived class to start with. That stands to reason.

Hi,
how can I get size of a structure? There is sizeof too, but it doesn't work.
Thanks.

How is sizeof not working?

That is vague. You have to tell us in what respect does it not work. Does it cause a compiler error? Does it cause an exception? Do you disagree with the result? What?

Hello All,
If I add certain Shapes (e.g. Polylines) to a WPF Grid (placed inside a WPF window), would they be rendered with hardware acceleration?
|
|
|
|
|
I know that you can actually write code that tells you if hardware acceleration is being used. I believe the answer is 'yes, if you have a good enough graphics card'

You can use the "rendering tier" to get a feeling for the caps of the videocard:
<br />
int tier = (System.Media.Rendercapability.Tier >> 16);<br />
0 is bad - only software emulation
1 is ok - the card supports partial accel (DirectX 7 - DirectX 8)
2 is state of the art with full accel

I think they should. Not 100% certain though.

Hi everyone.
Does anyone know if it is possible to include the .net core assemblies, say in a cd for our program to use theme and solve the problem of detecting the installed .net version and installing the required version?!
It's a real problem for me that create multimedia cds using C#!

I think there are .NET obfuscators that cram all the dependencies into one assembly and optionally compile it into a native executable.
