  - Visual C#.Net >> BinaryReader munges dataI'm about to rip out what little hair I have left; I have a class that
    uses a BinaryReader, and the data is getting munged. A subset of the
    code follows; I've removed the parts that aren't relevant.
    
    What's really strange is that it reads the file just fine until the
    272nd call to the Read method of the class, at which point it begins
    munging the data.
    
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated; I've tried reading by byte,
    as well as reading blocks, and it makes no difference.

    public class HeaderStream
    {
    private const int c_BlockSize = 680;
    
    private System.IO.BinaryReader str;
    
    public HeaderStream(string path)
    {
    FileStream s = new FileStream(path,
    FileMode.Open,
    Read);
    
    str = new BinaryReader(s);
    }
    
    public OWHeader Read()
    {
    byte[] buf = new byte[c_BlockSize];
    int i;
    
    i = str.Read(buf, 0, c_BlockSize);
    if (i != c_BlockSize)
    throw new EndOfStreamException(
    String.Format(
    "End of stream reached with bytes left to read"));
    
    return new OWHeader(buf);
    }

  - Visual C#.Net >> KeyPreview now useable? (VS 2005)I have always found the form-level KeyPreview feature near useless, as
    there was a bug that allowed ComboBoxes to ignore it. In VS 2005 I've
    confirmed that it now woks in Combos. Is there anything else to be
    concerned about, or can we now use this to our heart's content when we
    want to pre-process input?

  - ADO >> Problem with disable msde connection poolHello,
    
    To resotre MSDE database, the connection pool must be disabled. I set
    pooling=false in the connection string, i.e.,
    
    SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("server=(local)\\NetSDK;
    database=mydb; uid=sa; password=abc; pooling=false;");
    
    It seems that the connection pool was not disabled. Here are the error
    messages I got:
    
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Exclusive access could
    not be obtained because the database is in use.
    [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]RESTORE DATABASE is
    terminating abnormally.
    
    Any ideas? Are there any other ways to disable the connection pool?
    
    Any help would be appreciated!

  - Net Framework >> Nullable boolean true on webservice response comes across as nullHello all,
    I'm working on a web app that we converted over to asp 2.0 recently and
    here's the issue I ran into:
    We use a java webservice to retrieve data and display this data to the user.
    This was working in 1.1 and nothing changed around this particular webservice
    call on either side after the switch to 2.0. The webservice response is an
    array of value objects and the value object contains a boolean. I intercepted
    the response with Fiddler and verified that the boolean was set to either
    true or false on all the vo's in the array. But after the response object was
    created and I could look at it in the code while debugging, the (nullable)
    boolean field in every vo in the array was null.
    
    To fix this temporarily, I had the webservice provider change the boolean
    field to a 'NullableBoolean' class that contained a boolean value - this way,
    the correct value came across and I could work with it.
    
    I'm not sure if this is helpful, but there's one more detail I noticed -
    The xml doc I intercepted with Fiddler looks something like this
    ('processed' is the boolean variable):
    
    <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"...>
    <env:Body env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
    ...
    <responseVos...>
    ...
    <ResponseVo ...>
    ...
    <processed href="#ID_4"/>
    ...
    </ResponseVo>
    ...
    </responseVos...>
    ...
    <xsd:boolean xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xsi:type="xsd:boolean" id="ID_4">true</xsd:boolean>
    ...
    </env:Body>
    </env:Envelope>
    
    This is working for now but I think I shouldn't have to have my webservice
    provider fix my problem, right? Any help in solving this problem would be
    greatly appreciated.

  - Dotnet >> Composite UI application Block - Thread Safe?Does anyone have any input on setting up my CAB application so that the

    can be managed through Services, and dynamic injection. On the
    contrary, I was told that this can be handled using Enterprise Library

    this at the class level, creating immutable classes, and caching them
    accordingly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

  - Visual C#.Net >> Programmatically disabling Windows Control EventsHi
    
    I wanted to programmatically disable events like SelectedIndexChanged without
    using a boolean flag, which indeed I find a quick and dirty solution. So, I
    found a
    piece of code that do this more elegant:
    
    * How to disable event in C#?
    Link: http://tinyurl.com/alsge
    Group: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework
    
    But I saw it is limited to ComboBoxes and to the SelectedIndexChanged Event
    and
    I want to generalize it to an object of type control and to every possible
    event. To
    give you an idea, I will post some of my ugly code:
    
    public static EventHandler DisableSelectedIndexChanged(Control control)
    {
    FieldInfo fieldInfo;
    object fieldObject;
    EventHandler handler = null;
    
    fieldInfo = control.GetType().GetField("SelectedIndexChanged",
    BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    if (fieldInfo != null)
    {
    fieldObject = fieldInfo.GetValue(control);
    if (fieldObject is EventHandler)
    {
    handler = (EventHandler)fieldObject;
    
    //This is the part I want to avoid
    if (control is ComboBox)
    ((ComboBox)control).SelectedIndexChanged -= handler;
    else if (control is ListBox)
    ((ListBox)control).SelectedIndexChanged -= handler;
    else if (control is ListView)
    ((ListView)control).SelectedIndexChanged -= handler;
    else if (control is TabControl)
    ((TabControl)control).SelectedIndexChanged -= handler;
    }
    }
    return handler;
    }
    
    Is it possible to avoid the casting and get a pointer to the
    SelectedIndexChanged
    property, then apply the -= operation over it? How? As I could understand,
    FieldInfo.GetValue(control) only returns the handler, but not the
    SelectedIndexChanged property.
    
    Thanks in advanced,

  - Net Framework >> EMBEDDING images - System.Web.MailHi, I hope there is someone reading this that has the answer, Please Help!
    
    I have the need to send a html email via asp.net. its easy enough to send
    an html email and add attachments.
    My question is, how to you set the Content-Location of each attachment in
    the mail headers so that the images are embedded in the html email rather
    than attached?
    
    This is my code:
    
    private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
    
    MailMessage objEmail = new MailMessage();
    
    objEmail.From = aspnet@domain.com;
    objEmail.Subject = "news flash ";
    string body = "<html>.....
    {some html code with images as <img src=\"news_r1_c1.jpg\"> ... etc
    </html>";
    objEmail.Body = body;
    objEmail.Priority = MailPriority.Normal;
    objEmail.BodyFormat = MailFormat.Html;
    
    MailAttachment i1 = new
    MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("images/news_r1_c1.jpg"));
    MailAttachment i2 = new
    MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("images/news_r1_c3.gif"));
    MailAttachment i3 = new
    MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("images/spacer.gif"));
    MailAttachment i4 = new
    MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("images/news_r4_c1.jpg"));
    MailAttachment picture = new
    MailAttachment(Server.MapPath("images/default.jpg"));
    
    objEmail.Attachments.Add(i1);
    objEmail.Attachments.Add(i2);
    objEmail.Attachments.Add(i3);
    objEmail.Attachments.Add(i4);
    objEmail.Attachments.Add(picture);
    
    string sendto = Request.Form["recipients"];
    string[] recipients= sendto.Split(',',';');
    foreach(string recipient in recipients)
    {
    objEmail.To = recipient.Trim();
    SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.server,com";
    
    try
    {
    SmtpMail.Send(objEmail);
    }
    catch (Exception exc)
    {
    Response.Write("Send failure: " + exc.ToString());
    }
    }
    }
    
    as said, html email is coming through fine, images are in email as
    Attachments, but DON'T display inline with the page (even though the
    attachments are named correctly corresponding to the image names in the HTML
    (<img src="imagename.jpg"> where imagename.jpg is attached).
    
    I have sent HTML emails with embedded images in Classic ASP using CDONTS
    quite easily, i need to do the same in .NET!
    [FYI code to attach in ASP is:
    objMail.AttachURL server.MapPath("images/imagename.jpg"), "imagename.jpg"
    ]
    
    a quick look at the message source shows this at the top of the part that
    holds the binary information about the image, in the email source:
    
    for the ASP version (that works) :
    
    ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01C3EF89.62C8CA30
    Content-Type: image/jpeg
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment
    Content-Location: news_r1_c1.jpg
    
    in the ASP.NET version (doesn't show images inline)
    
    ------=_NextPart_000_005D_01C3F184.ECF34990
    Content-Type: image/jpeg;
    name="news_r1_c1.jpg"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
    Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="news_r1_c1.jpg"
    
    notice how there is no Content-Location with the image name in the .NET
    version, this is obviously needed to tell the mail client where the attached
    images should be displayed in the HTML email.
    
    Now does anyone know how to set this in the .NET mail object??
    any help/leads in the right direction are appreciated.
    The doesn't seem to be anywhere to set this property in the MailAttachment,
    or MailAttachments.Add methods, and i couldn't find any answers in the docs
    
    Please help
    
    Thanks

  - ADO >> MSDE and TransactionScopeI have a C# application that applys a set of scripts to a database to create
    the structures. When each script is applied, I encapsulate the call within a
    TransactionScope. Everything works fine on SQL Server 2000 sp4, 2005 sp1,
    and Express 2005 sp1 databases.
    
    On MSDE2000 SP4, I consistently get transaction timeouts on my scripts.
    However, it is never the same script. These are the same scripts I use on
    other database, so I am confident that the scripts themselves are fine.
    Everything is running locally on one machine. MSDTC is running. I've tried
    restarting the services, restarting the machines, and connection pooling
    seems to be ok, and I'm running out of ideas to check.
    
    Has anyone had a similar experience or can recommend something to check?

output = String.Format("{0:f2}", decimalValue);

If you use {0:f} then the number of decimal places from NumberFormatInfo
is used, if you use {0:c} then it will be printed as a currency value
(including the currency symbol).

  - Visual C#.Net >> PRB: Can not get UserControl/HTML/OBJECT to work on XP/SP2/IIS/IE6PRB: Can not get UserControl/HTML/OBJECT to work on XP/SP2/IIS/IE6
    
    Please help,
    
    I can not get my UserControl to work from a simple OBJECT tag in a simple
    HTML web page on Windows XP with SP2 and IIS. I have made UserControls
    before, but for whatever reason, XP/SP2/IIS/something is not letting the web
    page run the UserControl, giving an error of "Object doesn't support this
    property or method". Here are the steps to reproduce:
    
    Step 1) In XP/IIS create a virtual directory (VD) that runs ONLY scripts (NO
    EXECUTABLES).
    Step 2) Make this simple HTML page and put it in the VD from above.
    
    =====================
    <html>
    <body>
    <object
    id=objTest
    classid="http:MyControl.dll#MyNamespace.MyControl"
    VIEWASTEXT
    >
    </object>
    </body>
    <script language=javascript>
    var objTest;
    objTest = document.getElementById("objTest");
    var csHello = objTest.RunTest("Hello");
    alert(csHello);
    </script>
    </html>
    =====================
    
    Note that the OBJECT tag's classid is set with "http:" in the front. Trying
    it without this will still generate the same error.
    
    Step 3) Create a C# UserControl app called MyControl, with the namespace
    "MyNamespace", and add a method called "RunTest" to take a string as its only
    parameter, and return the same string.
    
    =====================================
    
    Something about IE, XP, IIS is preventing the script from getting the
    "RunTest" method. What can I do.

  - Net Framework >> Short display for long filenamesHello,
    
    as most of you know, some programs that handle files have a "recent files"
    feature, that is mostly a menu item within the file menu that shows the
    last documents the user had opened. Visual studio .net gives you an
    example.
    
    This example shows as well that long filenames will be displayed shortened
    to fit the menu item, e.g.
    
    C:\Documents and settings\John Doe\My files\XYZ\document.xyz
    
    might be displayed as
    
    C:\Documents and settings\ ... \XYZ\document.xyz
    
    As I would like to have this feature in my own brilliant and amazing
    helloWorld-application, too, I'm wondering if there isn't a function in
    the .net framework that returns the shorter version of a full path that
    exceeds a specified length.
    
    Of course, it is possible - actually for me - to parse the string for
    myself, but I would not like to reinvent the wheel.
    
    Just to prevent misunderstandings: I don't mean that kind of short filenames
    returned by the GetShortPathName-API-function like "C:\Documn~1\John~1" ...
    
    So: Did I overlook something in the .net documentation?
    
    Regards Daniel

  - ADO >> NewRowBuilderHi,
    
    We want different row types at the same time in a DataTable. The idea behind
    this is to support a kind of inheritance in a table. To do this, we had
    overridden the NewRowFromBuilder method. Then we select the row type
    construction using a special column that contains the type of the database
    record type. All row type inherit from DataRow, but they have a common set
    of columns and additional columns according to each type. Top base class is
    TPersons
    
    TCustomers and TEmployees inherit from TPersons
    
    TSpecializedCustomers inherits from TCustomers.
    
    Actually we have succeeded using the following code at the Fill time. When
    we the Merge and the GetChanges method, will get the following message "This
    row has been removed from a table and does not have any data. BeginEdit()
    will allow creation of new data in this row." at the line A. I know that
    methods called by Fill are not the same as the GetChanges method.
    
    protected override DataRow NewRowFromBuilder(DataRowBuilder builder) {
    
    TPersonsRow newBaseRow = new TPersonsRow(builder);
    
    (A) string RowType = (string)newBaseRow[columnRXClassType];
    
    if (RowType == "TEmployees") { return new TEmployeesRow(builder); }
    
    if (RowType == "TCustomers") { return new TCustomersRow(builder); }
    
    if (RowType == "TSpecializedCustomers") { return new
    TSpecializedCustomersRow(builder); }
    
    return newBaseRow;
    
    }
    
    I just want a idea of how I can overcome this issue. We already did
    implement the same concept in earlier version of ADO and now we are trying
    to migrate to ADO.NET. But we are not sure, the thing is we cannot migrate
    if we cannot support inheritance like we have already done.
    
    Thanks!

  - ADO >> about typed datasets (conceptual question)hi ,
    
    I am using ado.net with typed datasets and typed datatables
    my question is about how to handle child / parent type tables with datasets.
    For instance say that I have 2 tables with columns :
    
    table Topic: (parent table)
    TopicId
    TopicName
    CreateDate
    
    table Message : (child table)
    MessageId
    TopicId
    Message
    CreateDate
    
    When I need to use these 2 tables from the asp.net code I am using
    databinding to bind data to a datagrid
    My problem starts here because :
    When I need these two tables in joined way . (say that I am listing messages
    in the datagrid and I need TopicName in each row)
    In classic way , it is easy join these two tables and write the necessary
    databinding code.
    
    select Message.*, Topic.TopicName from Message inner join Topic on
    Message.TopicId=Topic.TopicId
    
    But when I use typed datasets How should I fill these two tables ? ( You
    can say that fill these 2 tables seperately but what if I need only the
    TopicName column ? isn't it a performance decrease for the system ? do I
    have to ignore it ? ) Also I would like to benefit from typed dataset
    architecture.
    
    Is there any good document or web page address about this issue ? How should
    I write stored procedures ?

  - ADO >> Ideas on storing and retriving files in a Windows ApplicationI'm looking for some ideas, I have a project to complete that has a
    requirement to store just about ANY type of document. Most common documents
    include Word, Excel, HTML, images, pdf, media files, etc. I was thinking of
    storing these into SQL Server 2000 as image type but my delimma lays with
    retrieval. I was thinking of using a Microsoft Web Browser control to
    display the item to the user. This works ok for 2 reasons, 1. The browser
    will open the appropiatte application to display the file and 2. I can just
    use the Navigate(2) method to display the item. The problem with this I
    don't want the requirement of storing the item to a file (filestream) before
    displaying (Navigate needs somewhere to go). I was thinking of memoryStream
    but I see no good examples (other than image files) on how to do this,
    espcially on how to handle large files. Is this a good approach? Or should
    I just stick with files stored on the server?
    
    THANKS

  - Dotnet >> Cannot create a asp dot net projectI have 2 developper machine running visual studio 2003 and Windows
    2000.
    On the first machine (Machine A) I may create a new asp project without
    problem. On the second (Machine B) I cannot create a new project.
    Visual Studo create the project but not the initial files and freezes.
    
    But I may create a new project from Machine A using the web server of
    machine B.
    
    I have checked the access rights of both servers, the access rights on
    directory wwwroot and inetpub.
    
    Everything seems the same.
    
    Thank you for help
