Can someone direct me to a tutorial or free solution that allows you to read the contents of a PDF in C# without either relying on Java or unsafe code that crashes every time you close it?
I searched through the articles on codeproject and the only thing I found that really only uses safe C# code is PDFSharp, yet this doesn't seem to be fit for actually reading a PDFs contents.
Thanks.

Your best bet for reliable code is to buy it. Otherwise, you're on your own.

Try this: http://text-mining-tool.com/[^]. It has a command line utility, if you want to use it from .NET code. For PDF it uses a java library (PDFBox), but it is compiled with IKVM, so it's just like having a .NET dll. If you want, you can use the PDFBox library directly, without that TextMiningTool. There's an article here on CP about that.

When using the PDFBox Library's classes I get several errors like this one:
Error 1 The type 'javax.swing.JFrame' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'IKVM.GNU.Classpath, Version=0.30.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=13235d27fcbfff58'. <br />
And that is exactly why I said I'm looking for a solution without relying on Java

Did you put a reference to the IKVM.GNU.Classpath in your project? Is it the same version your are asked for?
Check this article: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/string/pdf2text.aspx[^]
If you need further help you can email me. Just put @gmail.com after my user name. Good luck.

Hi...
I am making website in c#.net. I want to show video in my website. I tried the following for dat.
<object width="425" height="350">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8K_NQe57C-k" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8K_NQe57C-k" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"/></object>
this shows the video correctly. But i want its values to come dynamically everytime from database. how to do this. Is der ne other way to achieve this.

This is not an asp.net forum.
pass variable name in src attribute of embed if you want to show it from a dynamic source. Search google and you will find many useful links.

Hello,
We are currently creating an application to include a external app to make it support tabbing. The including works fine trough the user32.dll functions SetParent and MoveWindow but the problem is when we click in the child window (which is located in a panel on the main form) the focus of the main form is actually lost. This results in clicking button twice on the main form incase we want to activate a single click function of a button.
bottomline, is there a way to include a child window into a panel and keep the parent form marked "focused" while typing into the child window?
Thanks in advance! 
Bastiaan Nijkamp.

I have developed a windows application which uses a class library project.
Inside the class libraray project, I have added a file i.e. test.xml
How can I refer to this file from within the class library project?
p.s. This is a correction to my previous post...
Thanks

try
Application.StartupPath;
to get the path
|
|
|
|
|
Application. does not work inside the class library project
Any thoughts please?
|
|
|
|
|
Assembly.ExecutionAssembly.Location.
Never re-post. Just modify your earlier post

Hi,
This does not seem to work inside the class library project.
|

Intellisense does not recognize Assembly
|
|
|
|
|
Right click it and resolve assembly name. Thats it.
or add reference to System.Reflection

try
Environment.CurrentDirectory
|
|
|
|
|
Environment.CurrentDirectory gives the following path:
"C:\\Work\\Developments\\SQLchecks\\SQLchecks\\SQLchecks\\bin\\Debug"
Please note the .xml file is sitting under:
C:\\Work\\Developments\\SQLchecks\\SQLchecks\\DataAccess\\text.xml
Any thoughts please?
|
|
|
|
|
Replace
SQLchecks\\bin\\Debug
with
SQLchecks\\DataAccess\\text.xml
using string functions to replace string
|
|

Hi,
I now get this error:
Access to the path 'C:\Documents and Settings\jodowe\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\JXW1XBXW.7LE\414E3W43.NMO\sqlc..tion_3237500c67d360be_0001.0000_06a11946b45767e8' is denied.

I guess the data directory is always inside the the project. Just choose to copy the file into the exe location with every build(with subpath dataaccess) in the designer. Would be reallife behaviour.
|
|
|
|
|
you can replace like this
string str = "C:\\Work\\Developments\\SQLchecks\\SQLchecks\\SQLchecks\\bin\\Debug";
str=str.Substring(0,str.IndexOf("\\SQLchecks\\bin\\Debug"));
str = str + "\\DataAccess\\text.xml";

This following code will help you to access the file which is added to the project
Add the file into the project and then set the property as embedded file then you will be able to access with the following code. or you can add the file in the resource file and you will be able to access the file.
Assembly embeddedFile = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
Stream StreamEmbeddedFile;
StreamEmbeddedFile = embeddedFile.GetManifestResourceStream ("NameSpace.Test.xml");
XmlDocument myStylesheet = new XmlDocument();
myStylesheet.Load(StreamEmbeddedFile);
Here, "NameSpace" is default namespace.
if you have any other problem on this pls let me know
Thanks

Hi Raja.S,
This code does not seem to work as I need to run it from the class inside a class library project. i.e. Assembly is not recognised in intellisense
|
|
|
|

You have to include "using System.Reflection;" it is available in Class Library as well. you mean to say the color of the code is not changed in the IDE that means you haven’t included the name space.
This is getting the running assembly if it is class library then class library(dll) will be loaded to the running process on the demand , when it executes the code from class library the running assembly will be the class library(dll) .
Thanks
Raja.S
