 - comparison reporting -- technique suggestions? hello, i have been given a challenging project at my org. i work on an inventory management web application -- keeping tracking of parts assigned to projects. in the past, i built an in-house ASP.NET reporting system. just your standard stuff -- user clicks on a report, the page executes a pre-defined SQL query, a dataset is formed and bound to a data repeater. that works well for us. and using some nifty CSS, my reports look good on screen & on paper. now, however, my users would like....comparison reports. with comparison reporting, theyd like the ability to: a) take a "snapshot" of a given live report, storing it for later b) compare a given report to one of the previously-stored snapshots the mechanism for this would ideally show them a screen of three sets of data: - new rows (parts added since the referenced snapshot) - deleted rows (parts that existed in the snapshot, but dont now) - changed rows (parts that existed in the snapshot, but have at least one different column) ideally, theyd like a technique that can be used generically for any of our current or future reports (but limited, of course, to same-report-type comparisons). ...some tall order -- this is nothing ive ever attempted before. a few ideas came to mind for doing this: 1) when a user takes a snapshot, the dataset is serialized into text, and dumped into a CLOB in the db. when the user later does a comparison, the desired CLOB is restored into a dataset. then code must be written to enumerate and evaluate the tables. rows matching one of the categories must be inserted into new a "results" dataset (consisting of the 3 tables for new/deleted/changed rows). 2) alternatively, some sort of "history" could be implemented on our tables on the (Oracle) backend -- like triggers that update new history tables, that log changes. then some means of comparing present-day data to the history tables must be devised. 3) investigate a 3rd-party reporting package that offers this ability. as i mentioned, ive never set about this particular task in my years of .net web apps. no idea on how it can or should be done. can anyone point me to references, or suggest possible solutions? thanks! matt Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123241

 - Embedded Resource Name Specification SUMMARY: I want to override the default embedded resource naming convention and excercise complete control over the name of an embedded resource within an assembly. DETAIL: For non-dependent files, visual studio names a resource according to the convention <default namespace>.<FolderName>.<FileName>. How can some other name for a given resource be specified? I am willing to manually modify the project file if necessary. Thank You, Chris Moore Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123237

 - Problem with using AppDomain/Assembly Loading in Queued Component Hi, After many searches online and cannot find the right solution for my issue, I decided to post my question here. If you can help or know something on this, please give me some hints? Thanks in advance ! ISSUE: I have a queued component ( COM+ serviced component and written in C#) that needs to load my .NET assembly dynamically into the AppDomain. Code goes like this: AppDomain newAppDomain = new AppDomain (); newAppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap("myClassName","myProjectNameSpace.myClass"); *** Note: myClass assembly is C# and I generated tlb for it and loaded the assembly into GAC and registry (via regasm). *** When running this queued component, I always got error "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name myClassName, or one of its dependencies, was not found." Looks like DLLHOST is looking into C:\WINDOWS\system32\ for my dll while my dll is actually in another directory (Note: the dll of queued component and my assembly are in same bin directory). What needs to be done to avoid this error ? Some error log: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name myClassName, or one of its dependencies, was not found. File name: "myClassName" Server stack trace: at System.Reflection.Assembly.nLoad(AssemblyName fileName, String codeBase, Boolean isStringized, Evidence assemblySecurity, Boolean throwOnFileNotFound, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(AssemblyName assemblyRef, Boolean stringized, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Reflection.Assembly.InternalLoad(String assemblyString, Evidence assemblySecurity, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(String assemblyName, String typeName, Boolean ignoreCase, BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object[] args, CultureInfo culture, Object[] activationAttributes, Evidence securityInfo, StackCrawlMark& stackMark) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(String assemblyName, String typeName) at System.AppDomain.CreateInstance(String assemblyName, String typeName) at System.AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(String assemblyName, String typeName) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink.PrivateProcessMessage(MethodBase mb, Object[] args, Object server, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext, Object[]& outArgs) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink.SyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext) Exception rethrown at [0]: at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessage(IMessage reqMsg, IMessage retMsg) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(MessageData& msgData, Int32 type) at System.AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(String assemblyName, String typeName) at myClassName.MyMethod..ctor() === Pre-bind state information === LOG: DisplayName = myClassName (Partial) LOG: Appbase = C:\WINDOWS\system32\ LOG: Initial PrivatePath = NULL Calling assembly : (Unknown). === LOG: Application configuration file does not exist.

 - Upgrading from .NET Framwork 1.1 to 2.0 Hi, We have an app that have been compiled to use .NET Framework 2.0. It runs fine from the server but from the workstation it generates an error message something like "This program could not start because the program configuration is wrong. If you reinstall the program it can solve the problem". I suppose it is .NET Framework that generates this message. In .NET Framework 1.1 we used to set access to full trust for the local intranet. I can not see such an configuration option for .NET Framework 2.0. Any idea what is the problem? Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123228

 - Missing referenced assemblies in compiled dll ... Hi, I have a project that references a couple of other dll:s. After I compile the project I use IL DASM to have a look on the Manifest of the compiled dll. The thing is that not all referenced dll:s are in there (I'm missing 3 of 7)! My problem is that I need to find all referenced assemblies by reflection (using GetReferencedAssemblies) ... Is there a explination to this? I could really need some help and ideas with this ...

 - WSE910 and 'Root element is missing.' I am having trouble with WSE3 and domain authentication\authorisation for a web service. When using a the 'NETWORK SERVICE' account for the application pool in IIS 6.0 the web service work perfectly correctly, we are able to call the web service end point and we can authenticate through our custom WSE authentication token manager, but when we switch over to a domain service account we have created to run the application pool we get the following error: 'WSE910: An error happened during the processing of a response message, and you can find the error in the inner exception. You can also find the response message in the Response property.' The inner exception states: 'Root element is missing.' The domain account is a member of the IIS work process group on the local box, it as the required security permissions for the directory where the web service is installed. What is very strange is that when this service account was made a domain admin temporarily the call worked perfectly fine. So the question is what permissions does WSE3 require so that we can get our domain service account to work correctly.

 - css failure on postback Hello all, I develop aspx pages for internal use. We use IIS 6, .net 2 and IE 6. In the head of the clientcode I call a css file like "@import url(../CSS/Styles.css);" All this runs fine. When I pubish the site to the server and call it from a clientmachine everything looks fine as well. But when there is a postback all styles are gone and the site is nearby unuseable. On the next postback it mostly looks fine again. Do I use the wrong way to implement the css or do I have to update the .net Framework with something? Thanks for help.

 - C# to C++ port Hi everyone, We have a dll component developed in C# and used by the other projects (exe) written in C#. This component has been tested and proved to be very robust component and so we are going to re-use it in another application (very large code base) which has been already written in unmanaged C++. What is the best strategy between the following two options: 1. Write a managed C++ wrapper around the C# component and use that wrapper in our unmanaged C++ project. 2. Port the C# component completely to an unmanaged C++ component and then use it in our unmanaged C++ project. The main advantage of option 1 is that it seems much quicker and we can also benefit from .Net framework library without having to re invent the wheel or use other 3rd party libraries. The main advantage of option 2 is that we are not going to get involved in the potential problems involved in mixing managed and unmanaged codes. Does anyone have any other ideas (maybe option 3 ...) or see another pros and cons in going with either option 1 or option 2? Any help would be appreciated Luca.

 - "Start external program" no longer works in VS2003 once 2.0 framework installed I am developing a component in .Net 1.1, and want to debug it using the "start external program" of the debugger in the IDE. The program I want to start references both 1.1 and 2.0 components. The problem is that when I launch this from VS2003, the external program starts only for a moment and then bails out of memory with no error, and the ide returns to a stopped state awaiting my input. If I remove the 2.0 framework, at least the external app will start up and stay in memory, but I will get the error (as expected) that some pieces could not be found (i.e. pieces of the 2.0 framework). Should not VS2003 (which is based on framework 1.1) be able to run under 2.0 as they are backward compatible??? Thanks for your help, Marcus Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123184

 - System.Timers.Timer stops firing event I have a Windows Service with a Timer object with an interval of 500 ms, in each event the windows service starts a new thread, up to a limited number of threads, and does some work. It works fine as to the users requirements, but sometimes freezes. The Service is running, its process is visible on Task Manager as usually, no events on the Event Log are related to the service, but the work is not done. After some tests I foun out that the the code associated with the OnTimer Event stops being executed with no apparent reason. I'm clueless.... :( Some code: public class QueueHandler : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase { private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; private System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer(); private Thread[] serviceThreads; protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { serviceThreads = new Thread[25]; int interval = 500; string autoThreads = "no"; timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimer); timer.Interval = interval; timer.Enabled = true; } protected void OnTimer(Object Source,ElapsedEventArgs e) { int x = GetNextFreeThread(); if (x >= 0) serviceThreads[x].Start(); } private int GetNextFreeThread() { int threadID = -1; MessageProcessor mProcessor = new MessageProcessor(); ThreadStart tStart = new ThreadStart(mProcessor.ProcessMessage); for (int y = 0;y<serviceThreads.Length;y++) { //if thread slot is free instaciate new thread if(serviceThreads[y] == null || serviceThreads[y].ThreadState == System.Threading.ThreadState.Stopped) { threadID = y; serviceThreads[threadID] = new Thread(tStart); serviceThreads[threadID].Name = "QueueThread_" + y.ToString(); serviceThreads[threadID].IsBackground = true; serviceThreads[threadID].Priority = ThreadPriority.Lowest; break; } } return threadID; } Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123171

 - Programming a "Send to" app If I put a shortcut to an app in the Send To folder, then I can select one or more files in Windows Explorer, right-click on the files, select Send to -> MyApp, and my application will run with the selected file paths supplied as a command line argument. The problem with this is that the command line has a limited length. I can only select 15 or so files to send to my app without truncating the command line. I've noticed that many of the "built in" items in the Send To folder accept an (apparently) unlimited number of selected files. What is the mechanism that they use to get the selected file list, and can I write a .Net app that does the same thing? TIA - Bob Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123167

 - Target the Framework version from 2.0 to 1.1 Dear all, I have encountered a problem of "DragDrop registration failed" problem in my .NET 1.1 dll because of the assembly binding is always going to .NET 2.0. Therefore I tried to specifiy the runtime version and redirect those bindings in MyModule.dll.config. The binded assemblies, however, are still in .NET 2.0, according to both VS.NET 2003's output log and VS.NET 2005's fuslogvw. Meanwhile, they also logged compiling and linking processes. At that stage, linked assemblies are in version 1.1 correctly. My question is, does it means that configurations of runtime version and assembly binding redirection do not work backward from 2.0 to 1.1? Thank you for your precious time.

 - ClickOnce Nightmares I'm trying to deploy a clickonce application using the command line (so that I can have it in a batch process). I have the following problems/questions. Please, if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I've managed to deploy the application using the instructions by microsoft, here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc3tc5xx.aspx This is all peachy keen. Works fine except... 1 - There is no "setup.exe" file as occurs when deploying through the IDE. Why is this and can I get one? 2 - It cannot deploy over the network. Only locally (in other words, installing from \\mycomputer\public fails, but c:\public succeeds). 3 - When it is installed it doesn't give me an icon in the "Start\Programs" menu nor is it listed in the "Add/Remove Programs" when installed. I was wondering, somewhat, if it actually installed at all except that on install it runs (as it has been instructed to do) and the exe is installed in my user directory. Please help. What am I missing? If you have any questions feel free to ask. I need to get this out the door soon so I will be checking this post regularly. tia, rts.

 - HttpWebRequest ThreadPool usage - strange behaviour I posted this at dotnet.general a few days ago, but as far as there was no answer, I'll repost it here. I you think that there is even more appropriate group for this, please let me know, and I'll repost. Thanks. <Repost> Hi, I read a lot of articles about deadlocks and ThreadPool overloading when a lot of WebService or WebRequests are made from and ASP.NET applications. In most of these articles and examples there is a statement, that HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() call is always executed asyncronously in v. 1.x of the network. I used Reflector to examine this, and indeed, the code looks like: BeginGetRequest(...); ...... EndGetRequest(); Now, I created a test console application, which invokes a simple web service. This service only invokes Thread.Sleep for the number of seconds passed as parameter. Note - this is for .Net v.1.1 SP1. My test application starts 3 threads (not from the threadpool). The first one prints on console the current ThreadPool free threads. And the other 2 make invocation of the sample web service (not using a proxy, but pure GET request, using HttpWebRequest class), requesting delays of 10 and 20 seconds. Now, the strange thing is, that I do not see any thread of the ThreadPool used while waiting for the HttpResponse, I.e. this behaves very differently from what I read so far about how HttpRequests are made. I tried to invoke HttpWebRequest in 3 different ways (just comment and uncomment the corresponding 2 lines in the Main method): 1. A custom thread just invokes the synchronous GetResponse method - no threadpool usage is visible, even as per the articles I mentioned, it should translate in async invocation internally. 2. A threadpool thread invokes synchronous GetResponse - then obviously a threads from the pool are used, but only the ones, which make the call, but still not visible another threadpool thread which is used by the GetResponse. 3. A custom thread, which invokes async GetResponse (with BeginGetResponse/EndGetResponse), as well as async reading of the response stream. Still I can not see a threadpool thread to be used. Can somebody explain this behaviour? Why this sample works not like it should be? If all these articles are wrong, should I worry if I have a async web service, which internally invokes a 100-200 HttpRequests per invocation. I may have more than 300 invocations of that service in the same time? Actually, what I'm after is a web service, which will be used by more than 300 clients at the same time, which by itself retrieves 100-200 web pages per request. I want to speedup the process, and to use all available resources to fetch as many pages as possible at a time using threads. At the following URL you can find a zip with the source files I used. You need to set your IIS virtual directory to map to the test web service: http://216.17.90.93/ThreadTest.zip These are the articles I read on the topic: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/12/NETMatters/> <http://www.deez.info/sengelha/blog/2005/03/03/beware-threadpools-and- httpwebrequest/> <http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en- us/dnservice/html/service07222003.asp> <http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/06/Threading/> Cheers Sunny Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123119

 - Content-Type of MailMessage Why can't we change the content-type setting of a System.Net.Mail.MailMessage? We can change this value for Attachments, but not for the message itself... It's the only thing that prevents me from creating signed/encrypted messages... I can sign the message, add the smime.p7s but I can't change the message content type to multipart/signed... And adding the header doesn't help, the SmtpClient adding a Content-Type automatically... In fact, if the MailMessage would contain the same header properties (Content-xyz) as the Attachment, it would give a lot of flexibility... As for backward compatibility, not setting them would leave the default on, yes? In the meantime, I'll have to try another workaround: put the encrypted/signed message in an attachment...

 - How to get the domain name from a WinForm UserControl hosted in Internet Explorer I have developed a User Control (in .NET 2.0) that runs hosted inside Internet Explorer. like in these articles http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/01/UserCtrl/ http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=892466 Is there an easy way to reference the HTML Document "parent" of this control and ask it for the domain? I could not find any way to reference the document that worked (ex Parent or Container property) Is there a way to ask the IEHost.dll that is hosting this control in IE? Is there a way through the security model to ask the Assembly if it has been loaded with restricted permissions and if so why? and somehow get to the domain it was pulled down from.... Any ideas?

 - Some or all identity references could not be translated I get and error â??Some or all identity references could not be translatedâ?? when executes the code System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier.Translate. It appears this happens to users that have been logged in for a long time. It appears our users are in the habit of not logging out for long periods of time. If the user logs out and then back in the error no longer occurs. Does any one have any idea what is happening here? Is the some AD setting that causes tokens to expire after some period of time? Code snippet: WindowsIdentity id = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent(); IdentityReferenceCollection irc = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Groups; string[] strArray = new string[irc.Count]; int t = 0; foreach (IdentityReference ir in irc) { IdentityReference account = ir.Translate(typeof(NTAccount)); strArray[t] = account.Value; t++; } -- EqDev Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123114

 - Strange Performance Counter performance problem in Windows Service application Hello All, I experience a strange problem I do not how to approach. My windows service application uses several performance counter. Before when staring the service deletes category and attempts to recreate it. *If* the category previously existed and has been deleted prior to recreation an attempt to create a counter causes Service Manager timeout after 30 sec. So, category gets deleted, but it can not be recreated. I modified my service so it deletes category upon termination, but then it fails during the restart while checking if the category exists. It is completely weird. Now, the really strange part: the same code executed as a console application with *the same security credentials* executes momentarily. Sample code attached below. The code uses .Net 2.0 methods but the same issue can be seen in .Net 1.1. Did anyone experience a similar issue? Is there any known solution? Thank you, Tomasz Const ThisServiceName As String = "My Service" Trace.WriteLine("Checking performance counters category.") If PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists(ThisServiceName) Then Trace.WriteLine("Deleting performance counters.") PerformanceCounterCategory.Delete(ThisServiceName) Trace.WriteLine("Performance counters deleted.") End If WriteToLog("Creating performance counters.") PerformanceCounterCategory.Create(ThisServiceName, "", PerformanceCounterCategoryType.MultiInstance, "test counter", "") WriteToLog("Performance counters created.")

 - Exception profiling? I need to be able to see what exceptions are being raised by an ASP.NET application. I can see from perfmon that our ASP.NET app is throwing hundreds, if not thousands, of exceptions per second but very little is being logged. So what I'd like to do is run a profiler and see exactly what exceptions are being raised and where they are being raised. I've seen several profilers, but all seem to be just heap and/or memory profilers. I haven't found one that will show me exceptions. Does such a tool exist? I know that there is a Profiler API, but I'd rather not dive into writing my own for this one project. Thanks in advance! Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123111

 - Performance of Queue(of T).Enqueue(T) When calling Enqueue, the internal array may need to be reallocated. My question is by how much? In the old MFC array classes, you could tell MFC how many additional elements to add to the array when it needed to reallocate, which greatly boosted performance relative to adding 1 element at a time. Thanks, Mike Ober. Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123095

Now, i would like to do the following thing : When user want to add this control to Toolbox, he has to select the *.dll file of my control. Therefore, i would like that automatically, my control : 1. check if a particular Tab already exist (e.g : "AR Components") 2. if yes, custom control install itself on this tab. 3. if no, custom control create this particular tab (e.g : "AR Components"), and install itself there.

 - drawbacks of Saving documents to Sql server Hi all, .Net 1.1 Sql server 2000 i am working on a document managment module of my application, all i want to do here is save the documents uplaoded by the user from my winforms over webservices application\ webforms applicatoin to sql server 2000. I have been told saving it on the webserver's file system might be a better way but seems that microsft is gong more towars saving everthing in sql server. So my question to the gurus out there is 1. does any one really have any hands on experience saving documents to sql server 2000 and if so please tell me if u have any kind of performance issues with this. 2. i was told that sql server is kind of a little slow in streaming out the documents from the database, expecially bigger ones when compared to the retriving it from the web server's file system, is this true ? 3. please tell me any other problesm that u might have faced when saving\ retriving files from the database. 4. is sql server 2005 any better in saving and retriving documents from the database. thanks sameer Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123093

 - DataFormats.HTML with foreign character questions Hi, I recently have to process HTML clipboard format (both retrieval and posting) in C# and I have struck some problem when the HTML fragment contains foreign characters like Chinese or real UTF-8 sequence. When I examine the HTML clipboard data from Clipboard.GetData( DataFormats.Html ), the return type is System.String. For most part it is correct except in data between the  and  which should contain UTF-8 sequence. For some reason the return byte sequences are wrong at certain places. I then used the unmanaged code via C++/CLI to retrieve the same data and compared byte-for-byte with that returned from Clipboard.GetData() to see the real difference. They are indeed different. The one that I retrieve using Win32 API GetClipboardData() is the correct one while that from Clipboard.GetData() is corrupted. Does anyone know why Microsoft has chosen to use System.String for this rather than Byte[], which should be more appropriate? In the end, I wrote my own retrieval function in C++/CLI that returns a Byte[] to allow me to use Encoding.UTF8.GetString() to convert the fragment correctly. On posting using Clipboard.SetData(), I have also observed changes in certain byte sequences. So I am writing my own. Is there any logical explanation or has this been dealt with before. I am using .Net 2.0 Thanks. Leon Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123088

 - Why tampered Strong name assembly continue to work? Hi, I am always of the belief that once a strong name assembly is built, you cannot modify it without invoking the verification failure on loading. But the other day, a colleague of mine in the midst of getting something done with the managed Directx library, Microsoft.DirectX.dll version 9.12.589.0, accidentally tripped the time bomb as Microsoft no longer supporting this. He could not stop what he was doing and found with the help of Lutz Reflector the function Microsoft.DirectX.InternalHelper.CheckTimeBomb() and he changed the year using a binary editor from 2006 to 2518. He ran his application and did not receive any TimeBombException and obviously his hacked code works. But it begs the question how a strong name assembly could be hacked in this manner without tripping the verification check? I ran sn -vf on the command line for the Microsoft.DirectX.dll and it failed the verification. Here is the disassembled code of the function to show the change: .method public hidebysig static void CheckTimeBomb() cil managed { .maxstack 4 .locals ( [0] [mscorlib]System.DateTime time1) L_0000: ldloca.s time1 L_0002: ldc.i4 2518 L_0007: ldc.i4.s 10 L_0009: ldc.i4.5 L_000a: call instance void [mscorlib]System.DateTime::.ctor(int32, int32, int32) .... } Is this a security slip up? On a small demo I developed, any tampering of a strong name assembly would fail the verification. Any one has any idea why this works? Thanks.

 - Component in toolbox, appears and disappears... Hi all, I have a windows forms project, under which i've built several component classes, e.g. extended controls like combobox, textbox and so forth... For me to be able to drag and drop them on a form, i always need to perform the following actions : - On the Toolbox Panel, under Components tab, right click then "Add/Remove items" - Browse to my assembly... "projectname.exe" - Pick up the components listed, added after the browse, from the .Net Framework components tab - Get them added to the toolbox where i'm then able to perform my drag an drop action The problem (if any...) is, sometimes, the components after they get added, remain under the Toolbox panel for weeks and then disappear for unknown reason to me, so i need to perform the same operation described above everytime. So, could anybody explain why this is happening ? Is it because, when the component class gets modified, we must readd it again in the toolbox in order to have the latest version ? Is there any way to add the component so that it remains persistent in the toolbox pane, unless we do a remove explicitly ?

 - application_start called (again) when switching domain in same app I'm using application_start for starting Remoting for the application. In iis there are specified several domains for the site i.e.: http://mydomain.dk - http://www.mydomain.dk When shifting between domains - application_start is called again - and this is a problem because Remoting is called twice in the same application - this will result in an error, because the Remote server think its the same which is started again. When called again application variables is not available in the next call of application_start. In Framework 1.1 this is not an issue. Is this a change in 2.0 or is this an error ??

 - Desperately need help on Assembly Load Hi, I have written an application in which the main exe sits in, say <Dir1> This application will load using reflection Assembly.LoadFrom of an assembly, say Asm1 which sits inside another completely different directory <Dir2>. Within Asm1, I will then need to load another assembly Asm2 which also sits in <Dir2> But the problem is, everytime I try to do it within Asm2, by using Assembly.Load(assemblyName), but it always could not find it. A colleague of mine suggested using AppDomain, which I then try to create another separate AppDomain using the following command: AppDomain.CreateDomain("Somename", null, <Dir2>, <Dir2>, false); however it always returns an object of type System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.__TransparentProxy which when I used, it will always throw an Exception. Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? or suggest any other way? All I am trying to do is so that everytime I call Assembly.Load, it will try to look under <Dir1> as well as <Dir2> Thanks in advance. Any help would be appreciated.

 - Dotnet under Apple Safari browser Hi All, I am having huge problems with a very simple dotnet framework web page (www.gbab.net/ztest3.aspx) , it does NOT render correctly under Apple's Safari. The DIV's do not align amd float as they should, and do in Dotnet. The page is really, really simple, and it has a CSS and with NO masterpage. I have tried using the following as recommendations made earlier in this Newsgroup:- 1) Adding the following code to the page's Page_PreInit method: if (Request.Browser.Browser.Contains("Safari")){ this.ClientTarget = "uplevel"; } 2) incorporating a Browsercap section in the web.config as per: http://slingfive.com/pages/code/browserCaps/ 3) Ensuring the page is validated as XHTML-compliant standard TML (used http://validator.w3.org/) BUT I STILL GET THE PROBLEM! Safari does not handle CSS and DIV's properly! What bugs me, is that there are some pretty sophisticated Dotnet sites out there that work beautifully under Safari! And I left wondering what it is that I am doing wrong! Please help! Thank you Edward Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123077

 - printersettings.installedprinters in asp.net not working for non-domain webserver with network printers on domain Hi, We have a .net web application, and are trying to use PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters to list the printers installed on the webserver. (Windows 2003 server R2, IIS 6, .net framework 2.0.) The printers installed on the web server under the account used by asp.net for this web application are network printers that are shared by other computers that are on our domain. Permission has been granted for everyone to print to them. The web server running asp.net is not part of the domain, and the account used by asp.net is a non-domain account. (It's the identity of the application pool WEBSERVER\webappaccount). From asp.net we can use PrintDocument.PrinterSettings.PrinterName to set the printer name and then PrintDocument.Print works fine to these network printers, however, when you use PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters it returns an empty collection, with no exception raised. What could be preventing PrinterSettings.InstalledPrinters from being populated, given that we can actually print from asp.net? any help much appreciated regards, Tessa Tag: Listbox selected items to string array Tag: 123072

Assuming you are talking about ListBox ASP.NET Control:

ArrayList al = new ArrayList ();
foreach (ListItem li in ListBox1.Items)
{
if (li.Selected) al.Add (li.Value);
}
String[] s = (string[])al.ToArray (typeof (string));

Array "s" will have the strings selected from the ListBox.

Sorry, forgot to add: in case of Windows Forms ListBox, loop through
SelectedItems or SelectedIndices to fetch each selected item's text and add
it to an ArrayList and finally convert it to String array as shown in my
previous post.
