    - Correct ways to throw custom exceptions &when to use inner excepti Hi, I've created a custom exception class that inherits from System.ApplicationException (implemented in a similar manner to the recommendations made in the Exception Management Architecture Guide). My question is: Whatâ??s the correct way to throw a custom exception in the following scenario? Example scenario: Custom Exception hierarchy: +---System.Exception | +---Application.Exception | | +---CustomBaseAbstractException | | | +---UtilityEx If client code calls a function in one of Utility's types and the parameters are two empty strings-- Is it better to throw the custom exception like this: Throw New UtilityEx(BAD_PARAM_EX_MESSAGE) OR-- since ArgumentException is the specific "way" to say "I can't use these parameters" is it better to set an instance of an argumentException to the UtilityEx â??s "inner exception" property? Throw New UtilityEx(New ArgumentException),BAD_PARAM_EX_MESSAGE) Should I only use inner exceptions when catching real exceptions or can you also just create one for the sake of specificity even though the runtime has not thrown one?

    - ASP.NET Security Exception Error I'm new tothe ASP.NET framework and my first task is to create a web interface for an n-tier application. I'm getting the following error when trying to authenticate a forms-based login: "The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file." I've seen a number of people posting this error in the newsgroup and have examined the solutions. Some are assuming a technical prowess with .NET that I just don't have yet while others are akin to reading Swahili. Tracing through the program I've found that the error occurs on the line of code currentDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy.UnauthenticatedPrincipal); and yields the following stack trace: [SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.] System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckTokenBasedSetHelper(Boolean ignoreGrants, TokenBasedSet grants, TokenBasedSet denied, TokenBasedSet demands) +503 System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckSetHelper(PermissionSet grants, PermissionSet denied, PermissionSet demands) +144 System.AppDomain.SetPrincipalPolicy(PrincipalPolicy policy) +0 [...]..ctor(String userID, String password, Boolean usePassword) in [...]principal.cs:51 [...]Principal.Login(String userName, String password) in [...]principal.cs:45 [...]tryLogin(String userName, String userPassword) in [...]login.aspx.cs:53 ASP.Login_aspx.btnLogin_Click(Object sender, EventArgs E) in [...]Login.aspx:7 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) +108 System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button.System.Web.UI.IPostBackEventHandler.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument) +57 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(IPostBackEventHandler sourceControl, String eventArgument) +18 System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +33 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain() +2112 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest() +218 System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) +18 System.Web.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +179 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +87 If ignorance is bliss then I'm ecstatic right now.

    - WebExceptionStatus.ReceiveFailure Hi, everybody. Do you know, which HTTP response produces WebException with Status == WebExceptionStatus.ReceiveFailure? I get this exception raised in my small C# tool whenever the HTTP server returns HTTP/1.1 200 OK with no more data in the response body. If there are some other data after 200 OK, then no WebException is thrown. Can it be that the reason of WebException in this case is the absence of the response body? Because in RFC2616 it is mentioned that in case when response contains no data the correct HTTP answer code must be "204 No Content". If this is wrong newsgroup could you please give me a hint, where can I receive an answer on my question? Thank you. Sergey.

    - Application Quitting with no Error I'm using Aspects for my middle-tier data access, and on call interception the application quits without error. It's inconsistent and I've found no solid repro. I'm assuming the CLR is encountering an error it can't handle, but I can't reproduce it consistently so it's hard to determine how this is happening exactly. The object is constructed, and then on property access the application quits. The aspect is used in other places (And is executed well over 50 times) before it crashes. It only crashes in one specific class that doesn't do anything special. Any ideas? Does the CLR have a log file I can access?

How can I use the ObjectDataSource control if I don't want to allow it to instantiate the businesscomponents directly but use a ComponentFactory which takes care of creating components. How can I use the ObjectDataSource control with this factory. The code to create the component and obtain a collection of business objects looks somewhat like this. ICustomerComponent component = ComponentFactory().CreateCustomerCompoment(); ArrayList customers = customer.ReadCustomers(); Is this possible with the objectdatasource?

    - HRESULTs Hi, I've been asked to write some code that only logs "serious exceptions" (a client... long story). I'm a somewhat young programmer and started w/ .net so I haven't been exposed to Com and Hresults before. My question is: I know that all .net exceptions have an HRESULT protected property. Is it true that there's a relationship between an error/exceptions "level of severity" and its HResult value? For instance: The HResult for a common error such as System.NullReferenceException is: 0x80004003 (Reflector has the integer value as: 2147467261) The HResult for an exception that signifies serious trouble such as System.ExecutionEngineException is: 0x80131506. Aka 2146233082 Would it be possible for me to define an HRESULT "threshold" and log all exceptions that are above or below such a value? Or is there no relationship between severity and an exception's HRESULT value? I suppose the other alternative is to use multiple exception filters but assuming that my "relationship" assumption is correct the user one if statement would be more simple and scalable. I know the Logging Block in the new Enterprise Library can do this but Iâ??ve been asked to implement a solution in the next couple of days and havenâ??t delved far enough into the Enterprise library to use it in a real project yet.

    - How do I launche browser maximized each time? I am running Windows XP, IE 6.0, and VB.NET, all with the latest service packs. Originally, whenever I would press F5 from VB.NET to start my web application, I.E. would launch full screen (which is 1024x768 on my computer). (I think I had the browser screen stretched to 1024x768 rather than using the Maximize button). Then I changed my Windows XP resolution to 640x480 to see how my web application would look. Then I changed my Windows XP resolution back to the original 1024x780. But now, each time I press F5 from within VB.NET web application, it launches IE at a resolution of 640x480. Regardless of whether I stretch the browser window or use its maximize button, the browser will launch at 640x480 (not maximized) the next time I press F5 to launch my VB.NET web application. How can I make IE launch maximized (or with a resolution of 1024x768) each time I press F5 in VB.NET? NOTE: If I just launch IE manually from my desktop, it DOES start in Maximized mode, so the root cause appears to be within VB.NET not IE. Thanks for your help.

    - How to use interfaces properly... Ok, I have been testing some things and now I have questions about it. I created a dll assembly that contains just one interface (called ITestInterface), which in turn just has one string property called TestName. I built that project and then closed it. Then, I created a windows forms project and added a reference to that assembly (it's named MyInterfaceTest). Now, before I did anything else, I ran the project and a blank form came up. That was as expected. Then I added the "Implements MyInterfaceTest.ITestInterface" line and it added the property code for me. I built the project again and it ran fine. Then I changed the "Copy Local" property on the reference to "false". I ran the project again and it gave me an error: ----------------------- An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in Unknown Module. Additional information: File or assembly name MyInterfaceTest, or one of its dependencies, was not found. ----------------------- Ok, so now I'm kind of confused. Does each application that implements an interface have to have its own copy of the dll that contains the interface? I'm asking this mainly because I'm working on building an app that uses a plugin architecture, and I am having trouble figuring out how to set up references that will work during development, but will also let the plugin developer drop his executable and associated files into the main application's plugins folder without breaking it. Can anyone explain how this should be done? Thanks! Tag: Retrieve Description/ Meta tags from website as well as remove HTML Tag: 98582

(Something like what a windows application can do by handling SessionEnding event). Thanks, Roshan Tag: Retrieve Description/ Meta tags from website as well as remove HTML Tag: 98537

    - Debugging Hi, Im running a .net program I have made and all runs fine, but randomly it will reset itself without warning . The program is a touchscreen program and runs full screen forms ( borderless ). My first thought was a memory leak so I have been watching memory usage via the task manager. It seems that everytime I perform an action in the program ( all action use datasets and data fetches or local xml fills ) the memory usage increases by 5mb. As a test I performed about 70 actions with the program and at the end found that the memory usage was up close to 150mb. Knowing that the Garbage Collector should be collecting any memory that is out of scope ( all forms containing the datasets are closed ) I left the program running on the login screen for 15mins. When I came back I was presuming that the disgard memory would have been collected. But It hadnt, strangly enough the only way the mem used would drop was when I minimized the program and a few minutes later maximized it again. What im asking is : 1.) Does it sound like a memory leak ? or am I wasting my time looking for a leak as this is perfectly normal action for a program ? 2.) If its not a memory leak - what could be causing my program to reset itself ? on the initial form I added an onclose check ( yes / no msgbox ) as a test, but when it reset this check doesnt show. 3.) If it is a memory leak how do I begin tracking it ? I have no experience of finding this kind of error, as the usual stop and step into obviously wont work.

    - DataGrid: Read-Only Delay Okay, as a good neighbor, after searching through the different newsgroup posts without anyone with a similar issue, here's my problem... I have a little c# application with two little forms. One of them containing a DataGrid widget/component with two buttons. One for quiting and the other one calls the second form, which is used to collect data from the user that's then added to the DataGrid on the first form. It's a pretty simple setup. The idea is to keep the DataGrid with its Read-Only property set to true, and using the second form to collect the information for the first one. BTW, the second form also has two buttons: one to cancel the operation and the other one to complete it. The issue is that I started noticing that with this setup when I went to add entries to the DataGrid (using the second form) there was a delay of about two seconds while completing the first entry to the DataGrid. All other subsequent entries to the DataGrid were rather quick, as expected. It was just the first entry where I encountered the delay. Well, I'm using a datatable and a dataset, but these are already active by the time I input data. Not knowing what to do, I started playing around, and decided to try the exact operation with the DataGrid's Read-Only property set to false. Now, the delay was gone. Yes, it could certainly be something else also, but without changing anything else the delay was gone. Heck, maybe this is a known issue, but I certainly didn't know about it. Regardless of the implementation, which certainly could have a major influence on this, why would this property affect the speed of adding data to the widget?

    - .NET 2.0 beta and regex regular expressions Hi, I'm porting an app. from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0 and unfortunately the existing regexs don't work. Theres no mention of problems or differences with regex in the current beta release of .NET 2.0, I'm just wondering if my original expression was 'broken'? The regex is: Regex hrefExpression = new Regex("href\\s*=\\s*[\"']?((?:[^>]|[^\\s]|[^\"]|[^'])+)[\"']?"); it's purpose is to extract URLs from HTML links. In .NET 1.1 it will take a string like <a href=blah.html></a> and give me a group with blah.html In .NET2 it seems to match everything after the URL aswell. Any ideas? Only thing I found on the net was a guy with the same problem: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework/browse_frm/thread/43876377b41545a5/343595f830499738?q=dotnet+2.0+beta+regex&rnum=1&hl=en#343595f830499738 Thanks Jim Tag: Retrieve Description/ Meta tags from website as well as remove HTML Tag: 98524

    - sc.exe returns garbage on windows 2003 server machine Hello, We have a customer's machine where the command sc query <anyservice you want> returns nothing or simply the letter "S". This command should return information about the state of the specified service, whether started or stopped, etc... We are using it in startup scripts of our software components. The services itself can be started within the services applet. This problem occurred after the network was accidently disabled (settings->network connections) and the machine was rebooted. Meanwhile the network is enabled and working fine. The server was rebooted several times without changing the situation. The machine is a DC with AD installed and DNS running. -- MT Software developper Tag: Retrieve Description/ Meta tags from website as well as remove HTML Tag: 98522

    - Web Application for Active Directory? Is there any Web Application I can buy that let me update and edit the Active Directory info?? For example, we want to give H.R. lady the power to edit people's title, their manager, phone number, but of course not limit her to delete or alter some other sensitive information. Although I can write one using System.DirectoryServices in .NET, but if there is one already out there I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Any suggestions?

    - FolderBrowserDialog crashes on Windows 2000? FolderBrowserDialog crashes on my Windows 2000 computer. Here is a C# test program: using System; using System.Windows.Forms; public class InstanceForm : Form { private FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDialog; private String folderName; private MainMenu mainMenu; private MenuItem menuItem_Brow; private MenuItem menuItem_File; public InstanceForm () { mainMenu = new MainMenu(); menuItem_File = new MenuItem(); menuItem_File.Text = "&File"; menuItem_Brow = new MenuItem(); menuItem_Brow.Text = "&Select Directory..."; menuItem_Brow.Shortcut = Shortcut.CtrlS; menuItem_Brow.Click += new EventHandler (MenuItem_OnClick); mainMenu.MenuItems.Add (menuItem_File); menuItem_File.MenuItems.Add (menuItem_Brow); folderBrowserDialog = new FolderBrowserDialog(); folderBrowserDialog.Description = "Select directory:"; Menu = mainMenu; Text = "Test Folder Browser Dialog"; } private void MenuItem_OnClick (object sender, EventArgs e) { DialogResult result; result = folderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog (); if (result == DialogResult.OK) { folderName = folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath; } } [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run (new InstanceForm ()); } } Under Windows 2000, 4 of 10 times, it crashed first time I tried to display the FolderBrowserDialog. I ran the tests right after rebooting. To run the test, start the program, and press Ctrl-S. The times it did not immediately crash, if I kept bringing up the FolderBrowserDialog, it crashed pretty soon. Has not crashed on Windows XP computer. When it crashes, it's immediately after it displays the FolderBrowserDialog. The dialog appears normal. An error message window appears - 'The instruction at "address" referenced memory at "address". The memory could not be "read". The two addresses are always the same. After closing error message window, a second error message window appears - 'program has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.' The log file is a huge binary file. No exception gets written to the console. It would surprise me if FolderBrowserDialog crashed Windows 2000, and nobody reported it before. But I have no way of knowing at this point. Maybe there is something flakey with my computer. Sometimes Windows Explorer does crash on the computer, but it's been more than a month. To help figure this out: *** Has FolderBrowserDialog crashing been reported before, either on Microsoft site or elsewhere? I could not find. *** Can you run the program under Windows 2000, bring up dialog multiple times, and post whether it crashes or not? *** Has anyone used FolderBrowserDialog in a desktop .NET application, and tested it to be stable with Windows 2000? *** If this is a known problem, is there an alternative suggested way for selecting a directory under Windows 2000? *** If this turns out to be a problem with my computer, any hints what the problem might be?

Hi all, does anyone know of a nice utility/ class which will allow me to
retrieve the details of a webpage?

Specifically, I would like to be able to retrive the html and then call a
method which would retrieve: meta tags
Keywords
Description
as well as another method which removes all the HTML from the string
starting at the body tag

Does one exist? I know I can write one using regular expressions etc but
rather than inventing the wheel :)

Thanks
Mark
