Re: OUTLFLTR.DLL library - need an answer

I searched the error...and I found the same.
I am using M.Visual Strudio 2008.
It is possible to use this .dll in my application, or i have to load one in 64 bit?

Thanks,
Anca

Both app and dll must be the same (32 or 64 bit) there is no other way (or maybe I should say I don't know a better way Laugh | :laugh:

).

But even if you develop on a 64 bit os you can compile your app as x86 and everything should be fine.

I rebuild the app on 32bit, but now i am receiving "unable to find an entry point named 'ms_md5' in DLL".
I locate the DLL in my \\x86\Debug.

I take dependency walker...to see what functions are in this .dll but i wasn't able to find it.
I found only MD5Init,MD5Update,MD5FInal, but MD5INIT has a parameter type = MD5_CTX.
I can use these functions, but i don;t know how to use MD5_CTX parameter.

Thanks,
Anca

Maybe this helps:

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]
public struct MD5_CTX
{
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 2, ArraySubType = System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
    public uint[] i;
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 4, ArraySubType = System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.U4)]
    public uint[] buf;
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 64)]
    public byte[] in;
    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalAsAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 16)]
    public byte[] digest;
}
[DllImport("outlfltr.dll")]
public static extern void MD5Init(ref MD5_CTX context);
[DllImport("outlfltr.dll")]
public static extern void MD5Update(ref MD5_CTX context, Byte[] input, Int32 inlen);

Hi,
Actually I've done a video player with the last quicktime SDK , and I would like to detect peak in the audio stream.
This peak will serve to synchronise the video stream with a database.

namespace - automatically created, now not recognized

Hi Experts,

I created a program in Visual Studio 2008 Standard. I left the namespace with standard MyProgram. I created some classes like this one

namespace MyProgram
{
    /// <summary>
    /// A Class
    /// </summary>
    public class MyDerivedPanel:Panel
    {
        // Some content
    }
}

Die werden dann in Form1.Designer.cs behandelt

namespace MyProgram
{
    partial class Form1
    {
        // ...
        private void InitializeComponent()
        {
            // Now we are coming to the error
            this.myDerivedPanel1 = new MyProgram.MyDerivedPanel();
        }

     private MyDerivedPanel myDerivedPanel1;
}

At the mentioned line, Visual Studio claims to have found an error at compile time:
<quote>Error 7 The type "MyDerivedPanel" does not exist in type "MyProgram.MyProgram"
(vaguely translated from german version)
I can delete the namespace including its "." from the erroring line and all works fine. But Visual Studio Designer re-inserts the namespace every time I change something in the Designer.
Having more than one class with this problem, deleting those namespaces gets annoying.

Is that a known issue?
Is there a known solution?

Ciao,

VS never claims; it did find an error. Laugh | :laugh:

FYI: when a file contains errors, it does not compile, and the types it defines, are not available to the compiler when trying to deal with remainder of the application, so the compilation of other files may suffer from that as well. I assume you currently have multiple errors. Then first fix the errors in the lowest-level files, the ones holding minor classes needed by many but not needing much themselves, then work you way up.
Extra suggestion: if that fails, temporarily disable large chunks of code WITHIN classes (not entire classes though); you can use #if false and #endif for that purpose.

Smile | :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

I Second what Luc says.

However, I would like to suggest looking at more errors. I believe that there must be more than one errors in case the files are not compiled.

Also, are these two files in the same project? (I know it is too basic a question. But better to confirm).

Isn't there a class named MyProgram?

If I understood what's happenning, it's something like this:
The Designer will always re-generate code (you change something in the form, it's code is regenerated enterelly).

But, to "avoid" problems, the full namespace is used. Here is the problem, it uses the full namespace, but does not add the global::

So, as you are inside MyProgram namespace, when it puts the "MyProgram." it finds a class with such name, and use it.

I really think that's the problem. To solve this, change the name of your class. I am not 100% sure that you have such class, but that's the only way I can reproduce the error.

As far as I can tell, there is.

It's a class dealing with resources for multi-language-support. I don't remember if it was automatically generated with the name of "MyProgram.MyProgram", but I think that was necessary for some automated feature to find the files

- MyProgram.resx,
- MyProgram.en-US.resx and
- MyProgram.de-DE.resx.

Can I rename the class without breaking the multi-language-support?
How do I find the class?

In the line where the error with the MyProgram appears.
Right click in the word MyProgram and use the Go to definition function of the menu.

But I don't know how that was made... when I add multi-language support the name of the resource file is not really important, but if you have hand-written the name of the resource in strings you will need to find and replace them.

Another choice is to rename the namespace.

I tried both ways and they both fail because the resource class is generated automatically every time I change a resource.
I can change the name of the class and the change gets undone as soon as I change a resource.
I can change the namespace and the resource class changes its name accordingly as soon as I change a resource.

It seems like I have to move all of my self-created classes out of the application's standard namespace to avoid the conflict.

Any concerns about that?
Or does anyone have another solution?

How do you check the validity of a file type?

How do you check if, for example, an xls file really contains a spreadsheet? If an image called test.jpg is renamed to test.xls, how could I, in C#, figure out that text.xls is actually an image?

Try and load it using the appropriate library built to parse that kind of file.

Other than that, you have to examine each and every byte yourself, parsing the file yourself, and validating all the data yourself. For every kind of file format, that's an enormous amount of work.

If your application is meant to handle almost any kind of file, then you have a tough job. Every file essentially is a series of bytes. Unless you scan that and then try to match it with actual pattern, I can't think of a concrete solution.

You can try opening the file with the associated program. That too will not guarantee detection since many file will open (although distorted and with weird characters) in the associated program.

I found this[^] through google. You can check if it helps.

Your post doesn't make much sense at all, so, point-by-piont:

C# and the .NET Framework has no managed classes to do this. You must use an outside library.

Is there any way to do optional variable declaration in c# 3.5.
I have two alternatives.
(a) Function Overloading
(b) declaring the function arguments in Params Object[] variable

Can i do it exactly the way we can do in vb.net ?
