hi,

Are both the files having same structure i.e common tags ,
in this case if you use a class serialization method to read this XML file it can be very handy! You can create the class object of each file and actually come to know which tag is having diffent data.. hope this helps u.. Smile | :)

Best of luck

hi prasad,

Here a link how you use Xml serialisation in C# http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950721.aspx

1)your need to build your own class as same stucture as that of the Xml
2) then populate the data in class using XmlReader and input both the files http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmltextreader.aspx
3)create instances of class created with two files
4)maybe override the = operater to generate the report of what all data on which tag differ

Hope i am clear!!! Wink | ;)

Best Of Luck Buddy!! Laugh | :laugh:

Let me get this straight.

for 2 xml files which have the same structure you would deserialize your xml into classes and override the whole map's equals functioality and then compare your 2 maps to try to determine if there are any differences.

instead of, say, just comparing the xml to each other using string comparison?

Come on, thats far too easy. Where's the opportunity to create abstract classes, interfaces, several layers of inheritance, sub-classes and all the rest of the bloat so it looks like we are earning our crust Smile | :)

Hi,

As the subject states I'm a complete newbie in programming.
I've coded a little program that uses picture boxes to display images of dices.
After filling the picture boxes with an image a PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image.Dispose() is executed.
All the loops I'm using work fine, but if I press the "Alt" or "Alt Gr" key on the keyboard after the button_Click event has run an ArgumentException gets thrown.
The stack trace doesn't make me any wiser though. I've copied it to be able to post it so here it is:

I've been trying to figure out what happens for quite a while now but to no avail.
I'm really completely stuck on this.
If someone could help me understand what causes the exception I'd be very thankful.
I'm not asking for a solution just help to figure out what in heaven's name is going on.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

I'm curious as to why you Dispose() of the images?
they are in use in the picture box, so disposing them will lead to problems!
maybe that's even the cause (for some twisted reason) of your mysterious problem.
but do dispose of the images, ONCE you got rid of them!

A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

Hi Super Lloyd,

Thanks for responding.
About the reason to dispose of the images.
In an application I wrote earlier a picture box control was also used.
When starting the application I also started task manager and observed what happened.
The picture boxes really eat away memory if the images are not disposed of.

Greetz and thanks,

Jeff

you can't successfully call Dispose() on an Image inside a PictureBox.

this would be the proper way to switch a PictureBox from image1 to image2:

Image newImage=...;                      // get a new image (maybe from disk)
Image oldImage=pb.Image;
pb.Image=newImage;                       // first replace the old image by the new one
if (oldImage!=null) oldImage.Dispose();  // assuming we never need that old image again in this app

Hi Luc,

Thanks for replying.
You made me think about what was going on and yes sir problem solved.
Seeing that I disposed of the images after every loop it's quite obvious that in the next run no images were available.
The solution was actually fairly easy.
Before I dispose of the image I use a boolean expression to determine whether or not an image is present.
Like this:

if (PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image != null) 
{
    PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image.Dispose();
}

Greetz and thanks for the insight,

Jeff

that is not good enough, you can't dispose of that image as it is still in use by the PictureBox itself,
you really should do it the way I have shown: copy the reference to a local variable, remove the image from the PictureBox, and only then dispose of it.

Smile | :)

Hi,
my regex works fine in a regextest tool its just only when i try to filter the content via c# it doesnt work. here is my code

string fName = @"data.txt";//path to text file            StreamReader testTxt = new StreamReader(fName);            string allRead = testTxt.ReadToEnd();//Reads the whole text file to the end            testTxt.Close(); //Closes the text file after it is fully read.            string regMatch = @"(?<=\<div class=""middleadimggold""\>).*?(?=\</div\>)"; //string to search for inside of text file. It is case sensitive.            if (Regex.IsMatch(allRead, regMatch))//If the match is found in allRead            {                Console.WriteLine("found\n");            }            else            {                Console.WriteLine("not found\n");            }

part of the content that should match

<div class="middleadimggold">



<a class="asdf" href="http://www.asdf">
asdf</a>
<p>
asdf</p>
<p>asdf</p><p>asdf</p>

<p><span class="blue">asdf</span>
<a class="de" href="http://www.4asdf"><span class="a">(See on map)</span></a></p>

<p><span class="blue">asdf</span></p>



<span class="xx">


asdf
</span>

</div>

please note the spacing in the content, not sure if it matters?

ok this fixed the problem

if (Regex.IsMatch(allRead, regMatch, RegexOptions.Singleline)

singleline option that is. thanks for nothing

How to convert Any type file (bmp,Jpg,jpeg etc...)to binary or blob file to store it in sql 2005.

Any file (including text file) is a binary file. You can treat any file as a binary large object (blob) to be stored in a database. You don't need to do any conversion. Any comments on this opinion are welcome.

correct. Any file is binary, some files also are text files, others also are image files, etc.

I am trying to use the amazon web services in my c# program but I kept getting a http 410:gone error.
I did some research and found webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/AWSECommerceService.wsdl is suppose to be the correct web reference. In any event, the following appears to be obsolete and I can not find it replacement. What I am wanting to do is query amazon based on a title and return the price.

I thought AmazonSearchService srchrequest = new AmazonSearchService(); would work but that appears to have been replaced and i haven't a clue with what. I thought maybe AWSECommerceService srch = new AWSECommerceService();

Then also the KeywordRequest kr = new KeywordRequest(); has been removed. so I guess how do you do keyword searches now?
I was hoping to do something like this

ProductInfo pi = srch.KeywordSearchRequest(kr); //productinfo no longer exist

 Details[] allDetails = pi.Details; // make array and store results from the product info

allDetails no longer exist either Frown | :(

Am I going about this all wrong or what? I can't seem to figure it out..
The closest I see are two things in the object brower. Price and then itemsearchrequest but I can't seem to figure out how one would use that to get the price of the item.

any help or a reference to a working tutorial or something would be great.
thanks

This documentation[^] may be of some help.

There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Thanks for that link..

Here is something I came up with but for some reason It keeps throwing an exception.

The assembly with display name 'book list project.XmlSerializers' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1. 
The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException:

The system cannot find the file specified.The assembly with display name 'book list project.XmlSerializers' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1.

here is the code I'm calling:

private void btn_GetPrice_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           /* Have a look at http://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/sdk/ for the list of different types of searchs */

           AWSECommerceService aws = new AWSECommerceService();
           ItemSearchRequest request = new ItemSearchRequest();

           request.SearchIndex = "Books";
           request.Power = "title:" + titleTextBox.Text;
           request.ResponseGroup = new string[] { "Small" }; // allows a return of data like product id, price and so on
           request.Sort = "salesrank"; //sorts based on the ranking system

           ItemSearchRequest[] requests = new ItemSearchRequest[] { request };

           ItemSearch itemSearch = new ItemSearch();
           itemSearch.AssociateTag = "XXXXXX";
           itemSearch.SubscriptionId = "XXXX";
           itemSearch.Request = requests;

           try
           {
               ItemSearchResponse response = aws.ItemSearch(itemSearch);
               Items info = response.Items[0];
               Item[] items = info.Item;

               for (int i = 0; i < items.Length; i++)
               {
                   Item item = items[i];
                   priceTextBox.Text = item.ItemAttributes.ListPrice.ToString();
               }
           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());

           }


       }

how to convert string like 0.5555 to rounded double value of 0.6 in this case? Because when i use Convert.ToDouble("0.555555") the result is 55555555..

Thanks
