I rarely give out code. Better I give out design. It is up to you to code it. in my early days I was most struggling to come up with the concrete design, rather than the code it self. If someone can guide me through, I get into my feet and run.

That is what I notice here as well. May people ask for the code, in reality with a little push they can write the code themself, if not, then there is major problem.

Well, I should have been more clear, I guess. If you notice my comment I said, long time ago. In fact when I did mine it was pre-c# era. That does not mean it can't be done. Sorry, I did not venture in that part of the world in c# and I am afraid, I will be of little help. Good luck.

peace.

Manfred,
No worries. I get that. I guess I don't like to explain myself, but let me give you anyways. When I saw the question there was no answer, then I put my answer and got distracted before I submitted. I'd to answer to call of duty. Then came back and pushed the submit button.

By all means you beat me to it and you deserve the point. I +5 your answer, please don't change your vote.

peace.

The code sample in the blog is not that complicated. If you have a problem understanding it, then you may want to focus into the basics of programming first.

fixed minor typo

That is not helpful comment. What does that mean? How can that help clarify your situation.

+5 for mentioning the right way

such a complex question, no easy answer
- what is that you want to know?
- To fetch the data from database?
- How to get the data?
- How to format the data?
- How display the data?
- How to print the data?

fixed typo : appress -> address

Yea, I saw that, rolled my eyes and continued walking away.... :-)

That would not be the right approch. If you need more than one seal for each shipment, then you create what is known as 'Mapping Table'. If you create a mapping table, then you don't need SealID in the tblShipement.

tblShipment - ID - PK
Description - Describes your shipment (You may or many not need this)
TruckNo
TrailerNo

tblSeal - ID - PK
Type - (Maybe there are different seals)
Description - Describes your seal (may no be needed)

tblShipmentSeals shipID - PK - points to your shipement ID
sealID - PK - points to your seal ID

You don't need any PK in the table, but if your table is getting large or your have queries that you will join the table with others, adding PK *may* have performance gain. Remember this will depend on your data modelling and specific scenarios, which can not be generalized in short answers.

Well, you stated "everything", which is catch-all phrase, it seems you have tried this
http://geekswithblogs.net/dbutscher/archive/2007/06/26/113472.aspx

but have you tried this
http://boxbinary.com/2010/04/debugging-silverlight-in-visual-studio-breakpoints-not-being-hit/

Nice to see you solved your own problem/question. +5

The answer is : YES

It just occurred to me that, what happens if you use only CopyFile and you give it the new name in the same folder? Will that do both the copy and rename or does it only renames the file?

updated title.

Thanks, Firebug is simply amazing

Well, Interface will do it, but in his case I think Abstract Base Class may be the solution. He use the base class methods without worrying which one is instantiated.

I doubt he need that, but good link nonetheless. What he is perceiving it as complex, may not be complex at all. Some calculation as its best.

Converting from C# to VB.net should not be that hard, or is it?

Good Links

yea, but not the way he is thinking it. He things that if statement is checking the type, at least that is how I understood him

No, No, No. I think that is where you are getting it wrong.
Please see my second answer.

So, if the code instantiates one or the other you will have either pClassA or pClassB, right?

Check your da, d, d.Tables[0].DefaultView, dataGrid1 and any other object you may thing is the problem.

You see with out specific error, very hard to take a wild guess.

Oh, the garage will be very happy to run all sorts of test to figure out what the problem. But the question is that is the customer willing to foot the bill.

Now when it comes to FREE service, let us leave it there.... :-)

Ok which finger are we talking about :-)

Well said

I've totally lost it. First of why does he need to confirm it? I am guessing it the question might not been well formed. He may be asking it is not hiding as it should be?

Second, what happens to the ages long of running the app to see what happens. Does he needs to confirm with someone first?

Again I may not have understood the question properly.

Not at all I was not not offended by you down voting at all. It means nothing.

But your statement and your action do not match. It is one thing to state that there is a preferred way, and completely different to down vote. By down voting you not stating a preferred way, but your disagreement of the solution. Period.

So, what your action is not saying there is a preferred way, but it is stating that the solution I suggested is not a solution or bad solution. Again your argument is on "preferred" way. I am not arguing which one is preferred way. OK, that way may be the preferred, but still my suggestion does not fall down as bad or no a solution at all.

Once more, I don't care about the votes, not do I give a sh*t to it. I am only trying to point out the conflict between your word and action. That is all.

Then you are using the wrong control. Many times many people stick to something and try to solve it using only that method. Instead re-define what you want to solve and keep your options open. Can ListView or Grid Control the job for you?

Good pointers

you kidding us, right?

Removed pre tags

Agree. +5

:-)

Thanks

Good Luck and Thanks for accepting my answer.

Absolutely right. What was I chewing?

I guess you are somewhat confused. A tree is nothing but a data structure. You can save/put/set your parsed html into any format or shape you like. You may want to concentrate on the HTML parsing issue. Once you are able to parse it, how you want to save it or render it becomes your choice.

I totally agree.
What I struggle many times in this forum is that, the question is not clear and well defined. So, just giving simple pointer or advice does not make justice in the face of the question.

I was tempting to elaborate more, but where do you draw the line between writing tip/trick, article or simple advice. In reality in order my advice to be meaningful, the alert() needs to be replaced with simple javascript function call and the alert() placed inside the function. That way true debugging can take place.

yea that would be, don't you think.

I am not sure what you saying. All I was saying is that, Since he is traversing his collection and that takes about 30% of his execution time. I feel that lambda might gain him something, but can't prove it with out writing the actual code and comparing the results.

All, I am saying is that, why don't you (the OP) seriously think of upgrading as the benefits might outweigh the hassle.

As for genrics and anonymous methods, I don't see how they can help his solve the problem, even though they are available to him.

Waiting for the Beta release :-)

Interesting problem

If I am not mistaken HashSet was introduced in 3.5, that makes it outside his target Framework (2.0)

Go head and down vote as much as you like. I am one of those who give sh*t to the rep points. Won't loose sleep because of univotes.

Since when is the "preferred" method the ONLY way. How the hell will you handle it in .net 3.5 or earlier where such events don't exist? Didn't we see all the time the mantra of MS changing all the time. It is pathetic to justify your vote. I don't care about any vote anyway. Just state this way or that way is the preferred way.

Wow Wow, This takes the gimmi code for hw to next level.

Thanks for accepting the answer. Good Luck with the rest!

Good points

would be helpful if your explain what you mean by cms.

Excellent

Good pointer

That is why I posted it as comment as opposed to 'answer'

what sort of documentation are you looking for libbsb? have you seen http://libbsb.sourceforge.net/

chill out man. No offence. I just stated my preference, nothing else.

Excellent!

I would have re-arranged the list as

Wikipedia is mixed bag. There are a lot of good entries and equally garbage.

Good Answer SA.
I completely ignored his question about self modifying. I interpreted it he wants to know when something is updated, as opposed to he was to implement 'self-updating' code.

Well it is very hard to suggest something without complete knowledge of what the issue is. But let me take a crack at it. To me the best solutions are those which are data driven. What do I mean by that. It seems to be your are jumping the ship, just because you have many [high quality images]. First conduct a battery of stress tests simulating different bandwidths. Then analyse your data. May be you will find that it is not an issue at all. But if you find an issue, then you can attack just that one.

You need to provide textual description of your problem

... and what is preventing you from doing it?

The OP is talking about sql2008 and vs2008.

Moved your example code from answer to the question.

Good Answer

I am really sorry. My son who is 11 years old, just started learning small basic. In the book there was similar exercise. Just reading the book and asking some questions, he was able to figure it out. This is just basic stuff. I am not blaming you for not working it out, but for not showing any effort. Just dumping it here and asking for help is not the way to learn. Show what have you done so far.

Chill out man. I know, I know. The OP seems to struggle with the very basic SQL, let alone to know what SQL injection is. All I was trying to do was show him why his code did not work.

I know it was lousy code and should never go into production. But I don't see any harm as a teaching tool. Once he grasps with the basics of SQL then introduce him to advanced topics.

That should not be very hard to fix. See updated answer.

You beat me to it. That is exactly what I have in mind when I stated to look a way to set only for that page.
Again good suggestion. Thanks

Manas,
Good suggestion. I tried it, and it seems to work. On further reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.configuration.httpruntimesection.requestvalidationmode.aspx it seems to to affect other non page request validation. For now it may be a solution, but I'll see if I can keep the default (4.0) while allowing only that page to have no validation.

Thanks again for your input.

The right place to point OP

This should be that hard to write, it is simply your service watchdog.

1. You need to check if the service is installed. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4554116/how-to-check-if-a-windows-service-is-installed-in-c
2. Get the status of your service. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/178147/how-can-i-verify-if-a-windows-service-is-running
3. On some given time interval recycle your service.

That is all.

Right on the money. Good answer.

using that term bothered me too.

Good links

hmmm, I don't know if I want to the license key.

I hope so, but he seems to be a bit lost, see his comment above.

Thanks, I was trying to shout, send message

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

of course this may help, but there are few caveat to it.
1. What if the service hangs before the next stop/start time?
2. What if the service stop/start fails in the schedules tasks?

We're faced with similar issue, we come up with a different solution. See my Answer for the solution.

BTW, +5 for your answer.

Excellent!

[MOVED FROM OP ANSWER]

Hi SaKryukov;

The app im developing is a WYSIWYG XML Comments editor for VS. The app creates an XMLDocument then converts each relevant element value e.g.
etc into HTML and displays the lot into a WYSIWYG editor.

At the end of the day, I need to re-parse the generated Html, and convert back to a neat XML value for updating of the relevant element.

I have looked at tidy and have had a stab at the 100% boring method. As you correctly state, sometimes I get the right result, yet there are sooooooo many catches, that what starts as a relatively simple code block, ends up as spaghetti code.

I appreciate you taking the time to respond, and if anyone else has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

Dave

You have to look harder. We can not solve ALL your issues. you asked for two things and I pointed you for one solution and the second one was right there as well. Hello Open you eyes

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370905(v=VS.85).aspx

give me one valid reason why me or anyone else should write you the code.

Ok, here is a deal. I will be more than happy to write you the code, if you can do my work for me. It sounds a deal to me. What do you say?

I know javascript can be used. Can you call the document DOM from the server side? like document.write

Hey, I am under no obligation to answer you, help you, guide you or assist you. I could simply ignore you and end of story.

What you saying does not make any sense. You are simply showing your frustration and luck of ability. In return you are asking people to do your work. If you don't understand it is not the end of the world. Go back to the basics.

I have been in your shoes many times, but the only solution is to learn. You won't learn by asking people to do the job for you. You need to do your job.

My self and many others have given you enough to get you going, all I see from you is nothing short of the complete set of working code. NO ONE will give you that.

Smile. You are in candid camera. :-)

Let us paint the pain :-) updated the subject

Look buddy. You don't start learning by taking help, rather you start learning by reading and understanding. I am sure your instructor have explained to you what a class and you have some material to read. You start right there. Then if you have specific question, well that is fair to ask.

no harm done. I understood your comment completely. What I was saying was, I saw the comment on my email not here, that was partiality why I got *scared*

I am in very bad mood today ( stemmed from personal life) yet, I had to push myself not to say anything. At times I feel enough is enough and want to leave answering question all together, I leave for sometime then I come back again. Aaarrrggggg!!!!!!

I saw your comment in my email. I did not knew which thread it belonged and for a second it scared the hell out of me. But when I read it here, I knew what you were talking about, huh!

nice and sweet. Good answer

Many of questions gets interpreted in many ways. I wish questioners put a little effort clarifying their issue. I know English is may not be their first language, but we all have seen clear questions in broken English. Aaarrrgggg!

Good point. propose as answer.

The first thing that run through my mind was your first link, but the OP stated: whether tis s possible with out using AJAX !!

This does not seem right solution, see my comment in Manas's answer.

Never mind, early monday morning, need to finish my cup of tea first. I thought he was using javascript, on second look he is using vbscript.

Manas,
The OP is executing javascript on the server side of classic code. I don't think this will work. There is no document object for server side javascript code. He needs the Response object to write to the output stream.

what does this have to do with your original question?
visual studio is nothing but IDE. Different versions of Visual Studio have different support/functionality.

For all practical purposes you could throw away all visual studio versions and still develop using any .net languages. Of course the experience won't be the same and you will need to handle what the IDE is handling for you behind the scene.

The problem is many of this new "programmers" do not have the basics of Software Engineering. They seem to lack the basic understanding of the practice, aarrrrggggg!

Being new is not a problem. If you are new then you need to start where everyone started. That is called LEARNING.

And do you know the difference between visual studio and C#?

all this they want is real working complete code. Arrggggg!

Sir, where is the 'laugh' emoticons, he..he..he

Good catch, nice answer.

Good answer

SA,
I have to command you on your excellent answers, but I fail to understand that when people as asking for help it is meant to be Quick QA, not details help on their project

I'm glad we squared this one out. :-)

I intentionally ignored it. When I see a compounded question, sometimes I ignore it completely and sometimes only answer portion of it. Because, if the question is compounded, I feel the questions have no clue and they just want working code. I could be totally wrong on that side but at least the the OP show some effort.

Good Answer.

my bad, it should have been

if (array[j] != array[j+1])

But, that should not have been very hard to spot. Simply it is not working does not seem right. What you should have got was the reverse of YELLOW and WHITE colors.

If that works for you, you can re-write it as

int i=1;
for(j=0;j<arraysize;j++)
{
if (i%2 !=0)
setColor(YELLOW);
else
setColor(White);

if (array[j] == array[j+1])
i++;
}

fixed typo: bild=>build.

This is not compiled code, rather interpreted. What do you mean by compiler error?
What is the error you are getting?

fixed subject typos

I don't know, why it does not appear. I don't have the code and can't tell much from screen shots. But I noticed so many other controls showing, so your best bet is to compare the code for those showing and that which is not showing. May be you're missing something.

I don't know. Did you debug your program? Did you get any exceptions? If you suspect piece of code may be the culprit, post it so we can have a look.

Thanks SA

Moved your description from Answer to the bottom of your question

What is that? An advert? Why can't you post the answer here?

I moved your answer as a comment to the answer below.

MOVED FROM OP COMMENT:

sir, is the control_name = the field names from database?
sir here's my sample code

states that: "row is not a member of system.web.ui.webcontrols.gridview"
thanks for the response sir :)
I hope you reply again :D

It is funny, one of the suggestions is linking back to CP article. Oh Humanity :-)

Probably not. Remember instance variables will be different for each instance, where as static variables, well you only have one copy around. Don't you?

Now that does not mean you won't have other problems.

May be you should update your subject with [SOLVED]. So, people know you got it.

Your question is not clear. What to you mean by integrate it to C#. Are those your classes?

Never mind. I guess I am mixing things up. It gotta be Monday Morning.
Please disregard my earlier comment.

I noticed that too. But it makes more sense to continue the discussion the in same thread than start over IMHO

The alternative is to move on. I though the OP may come back and clarify the question if my wild guess is way off.

Look, Every one who answered you is saying that your question is not clear. Do I need to say anything more. I know what you saying is meaningless and it shows your understanding of how things work.

See at the error you got. It is very discriptive and it tells you exactly what you need to do. Don't you agree.

PlaySound is in this namespace - System.Media
PlaySound is in this assembly - System.dll

check the reference http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.media.soundplayer.aspx

The rest is left to you as an exercise.

That is what happens when one eye is on the TV the other one on CP and the kid nagging you on the side because.....

I did update my answer, I meant to copy the OP instance name to make it clear, ended up getting everything.

Oops, did not notice that.

As always common sense prevails

Nice link to excellent tools

That is not helpful. What does not work? simply changing a number is may not be enough. WHat effect did it had?

See my answer. There was plenty of hints.

And how is the link you provided different from what I said. Read what I said one more time. I did say they can do OCR. What I did not agree with the OP is the term "TEACH". OCR is not teaching, is it?

Thanks, I don't care about votes. It is irrelevant and over time all the uni-votes gets wiped out by other votes. Thanks for voting me +5

what about the hints I gave above?

Aha! If it for class work, for your own benefit, don't use any code you find until you understand it. You will benefit alot if you follow that simple rule.

If the issue is at runtime, you may want to introduce some sort of logging. May write when and which object is accessing the variable. That may give you the clue.
Also enumerate the process how and when each DLL is loaded and accessed. Is it dynamically loaded?

I know that, it is plain text. But I made a conscious decision to tell him to use .csv because, I have no idea about his familiarity with importing to excel. Both .txt and .csv file can be imported to excel. If the extention is .csv excel will attempt to take a crack on it, but if it is .txt file, you have to tell it. If you read my last sentence there was a hint towards that.

Smells like HW to me. Where is the effort? What have you done so far?

State your question properly. You may came across someone who is familiar with what you need.

May be you should start where the previous admin left off.

Don't put your comments/question in the 'Answer' box. There is 'Add Comment' to the side. Did you see that?

Malicious? As opposed to what?

Thanks.

That might be the case, but in order for it to work, either a)they have to come up with a format and have the banks adapt it or b) they need to understand the different formats and support them. The later part is error prone and depends on the other formats integrity and not to be changed. If they change they mint will need to update their code base.

That was the core of my massage, not who started mint and how it got evolved.
