Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how Soapsuds ties in with Remoting. Quote:
"the idea behind SoapSuds is to run it on an existing assembly to extract the metadata for all MarshalByRefObject so that you don't need to deploy the complete implementation assembly to your clients."
>> Why'd you need to do that? I mean, if you don't want to distribute implementation, just distribute "interface" assembly. I don't see any need for soapsuds (what am i missing here?)
IngoRammer prefer not to use it because Soapsuds does not accomodate for serializable fields:

Thanks!

The "interface" assembly method stops you from doing a few things that you could want to do from remoting. If you have Ingo's book I think it was chapters 3 and 6 that included most of the reasons.
It's been a while since I've played with remoting (I got half way through chapter 6  ). But if I remember correctly, if you go the interface route you can't use server activated objects because, of course, you can't create an instance of an interface. It also stops you from making heavy use of configuration files for configuration and deploying of your server (or client).
Hope that gives you some ideas,

Thanks, first of all. Here's what I think.
If you adopts the interface-route, you can't use "new" keyword or instantiate a server object on client side - but you can still gain access to server object's state.
But I still don't see why we need to use Soapsuds (to generate a transparent proxy) even if we don't use "interface" - just add reference to the original assembly where the remotable class reside. Why bother generating another assembly with Soapsuds?

Here is where its starts to get murky for me; the only reason I can think of is that by adding a reference to the assembly housing your remoted class you then have to ship your remoted class to the end user. This is usually not desireable because it defeats one purpose of using remoting, keeping some of your implementation on another server where the end user can't decompile it.
If, however, you generate a proxy class with SoapSuds then you don't have to distribute your implementation of the remotable class.

I don't think that defeats the purpose - your remote object still resides on the remote server.
Yes, you will need to either ship your assembly to your end user or put the assembly in webroot or designated folder. But still, the client just extract type information from it. The actual object still runs on a process on remote server machine: For example, it can still access database and other resources on the remote server (client my rely on the server object to gain access to certain resources residing on remote server).

Does .NET have an equivilent to the Win32 API GetWindowPlacement?
Or is there an article on preserving window size and placement here (and I just didn't search right?)

I am making a .NET wrapper for a C library. In the process, I came across a number of structs. Some of these structs need to be used from .NET, and some do not.
In one struct, there is a pointer to a structure, CallInfo, which is used by the C application, but need not be touched by the .NET application. I don't want to have to declare the CallInfo structure in .NET, because it is big and has lots of unions. Since in C, this member is a pointer to an instance of that struct, I assume that I can just declare this member as an IntPtr, and be done with it. Am I correct?

You should be ok; I can't think of anything that would cause problems.

Im currently in the process of programming an application that renders video to a textured object in 3d (for starters I just use a square consisting of two triangles with a texture)
for testing purposes I run the application in windowed mode and the object displays just fine.
problem is when I run in fullscreen mode the object does NOT display. I use font.Drawtext() to display text and it displays just fine..
hope you guys can help!!

I'm trying to delete a value from the registry like this:
RegistryKey key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser;
string keyName = "Software\\" + Application.CompanyName + "\\" + Application.ProductName + "\\Test";
RegistryKey subKey = key.OpenSubKey(keyName);
RegistryPermission rp = new RegistryPermission(RegistryPermissionAccess.Write, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" + keyName);
if (subKey != null)
subKey.DeleteValue("DeleteMe");
and I'm getting this exception:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Cannot write to the registry key.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Alvaro
Can I ask you a question?

I found the problem. I needed to use the other version of OpenSubKey (and pass it true). The RegistryPermission code isn't even needed:
RegistryKey key = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.CurrentUser;
string keyName = "Software\\" + Application.CompanyName + "\\" + Application.ProductName + "\\Test";
RegistryKey subKey = key.OpenSubKey(keyName, true);
RegistryPermission rp = new RegistryPermission(RegistryPermissionAccess.Write, "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" + keyName);
if (subKey != null)
subKey.DeleteValue("DeleteMe");
Regards,
Alvaro

Use regedt32.exe and see if the current use actually has rights to the key.
Also instead of using
RegistryKey subKey = key.OpenSubKey(keyName);
use :
RegistryKey subKey = key.CreateSubKey(keyName);
using CreateSubKey will give you a writable value. I think.

Hi,
I am trying to get the Hash Code for a string through MD5 classes in C# but the value that it is printing is not the same as being given by another developer who has used md5 algorithm written in javascript.
Here's the code:
string str = val[1];
// First we need to convert the string into bytes, which means using a text encoder.
System.Text.Encoder enc = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetEncoder();
// Create a buffer large enough to hold the string
byte[] unicodeText = new byte[str.Length * 2];
enc.GetBytes(str.ToCharArray(), 0, str.Length, unicodeText, 0, true);
//Now that we have a byte array we can ask the CSP to hash it
MD5 md5 = new MD5CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] result = md5.ComputeHash(unicodeText);
//Build the final string by converting each byte into hex and appending it to a StringBuilder
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
for (int i=0;i

The problem you are having is with your population of your byte array. To see this try using both ways and look at the output of Convert.ToBase64String(bytearray) you will see they are both the same however yours adds on extra characters.
Doing this should fix it:
-- Replace
byte[] unicodeText = new byte[str.Length * 2];
enc.GetBytes(str.ToCharArray(), 0, str.Length, unicodeText, 0, true);
-- With
byte[] unicodeText = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str);

I'm having a strange problem. I have a series of classes that do some processing and then generate a control. These classes are stored in a collection.
When I add the class to the collection I add a handler so i know to update the controls when the class data changes. When the generated control fires an event the class picks this up and responds correctly. The class then fires an Updated event.
The classes fire their events but I never get the event fired in the control that hosts the classes collection.
Any ideas?

Apologies for the slightly vague title of this thread, but I was hard pushed to find a decently descriptive title.
I am attempting to convert a byte array into a string, which in itself if relatively simple - The output strings look something like this :
1.3.6.1.4.1.1
The way I am doing this at the moment is fairly simple :
char[] cha = Encoding.ASCII.GetChars(byte_array);
Then I convert each cha[*] to a string, and voila, I have my full string.
The problem is that if the value of one of the nodes (between the '.') is greater than 127 it is converted to a 2-byte signed integer value. So if the string I am after is :
1.3.6.1.4.1.6347
My rather simple method of converting is useless, these signed integer values can (and will) appear at any of the nodes in the string - so I am looking for some sort of guidance on create a parser to acheive this.
p.s Just incase your curious, I am attempting to decode SNMP OIDs
post.mode = signature;
SELECT everything FROM everywhere WHERE something = something_else;
> 1 Row Returned
> 42

Maby this will work
<br />
char[] chars = new char[theByteArray.Length];<br />
for (int i=0; i<theByteArray.Length; i++)<br />
chars[i] = (char)theByteArray[j];<br />
<br />
String theString = new String(chars);<br />
I don't know if it is faster or if this is the standard of copying byte ararys to strings, but I have used it ant it works for me.

That code works as long as there are no 2-byte signed integers in the byte array.
Thats the problem I have, I cant find a way of parsing through the byte array to find these possible signed values.
post.mode = signature;
SELECT everything FROM everywhere WHERE something = something_else;
> 1 Row Returned
> 42

Your problem is caused because the ASCII enconding uses only 1 byte per char.
I don't know what SNMP uses, wheter Unicode, UTF-8, UTF-16, etc, check your docs. If using, e.g., Unicode, try this:
char[] cha = Encoding.Unicode.GetChars(byte_array);
The Encoding class has also a getEncoding method which supports lots of different encodings.
