    - Process - no window open Hi, I have a C# (form) program. I need it to run a 'command line program'. I have it working fine using Process, but it (temporarily) opens a Command Prompt window everytime it runs (and closes it when it finishes). How do I get it to run in the background without opening a window each time I call process.Start()? (FYI: I searched for this on the web but couldn't find anything) Thanks, Hilton Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario? Tag: 102388

    - Detecting if SMTP server is running Hi I'm working on a project where some business process rely on several external servers to perform processing. These are Sql Server x 2, Credit Card processing and Mail Server. Before entering the business process, I'd like to verify that each of these are available, in particular the SMTP Server, which is the most volatile of the above servers. What would be the best way to detect if the SMTP server is up and running? Ben Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario? Tag: 102386

    - Enterprise Library - Asynchronous Logging... I have managed to get asycnhronous logging work for an asp.net application and I wanted some clarification on the method. Normally if the application is logging synchronously it has all the settings for the logging application block in the app.config for the application. But if you want to use asynchronous logging you have to specify asynchronous logging for all logging types in the app.config of the application and then define the extact logging sinks in the app.config of the msmqdistributor.exe (windows service). Is this correct? Seems rather confusing and rather messy - application specific logging information have to be put into a generic widows service that could be used by more than one application on the system. cheers Ollie Riches Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario?

    - Difference in XML serialization between Win 2000 and Win XP ? Hi, I'm getting some very odd (to me atleast) results when writing a serialized object to disk as an xml file. It works correctly in WinXP but not in Win 2000. This is the code: XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer( typeof(OptionsHolder) ); TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter( "serversettings.xml" ); x.Serialize( writer, opt ); writer.Close(); and the object has the following class: public class OptionsHolder { public int timeout; public string lastrapportdate = ""; public string lastprintdate = ""; public bool deleteNonConfirmed = true; public string defaultProject = "obevakad"; public string [] watchprinters; // = new string[256]; // Max 256 skrivare på en server public string [] dontwatchprinters; // = new string[256]; // Max 256 skrivare på en server public string [] ignoreips; // = new string[256]; // Max 256 klienter kan ignoreras public OptionsHolder() { } } On Win 2000 it just refuses to write whatever string is currently present in lastrapportdate. I have verified that there is content in the variable before serializing. All other items get dumped to disk. Result after serializing in WinXP Proffesional <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <OptionsHolder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <timeout>5</timeout> <lastrapportdate>2005-09-04:21:23</lastrapportdate> <lastprintdate /> <deleteNonConfirmed>true</deleteNonConfirmed> <defaultProject>Obevakad</defaultProject> <watchprinters /> - <dontwatchprinters> <string>Microsoft Office Document Image Writer</string> <string>Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS</string> </dontwatchprinters> <ignoreips /> </OptionsHolder> Result after serializing in Windows 2000 Pro <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> - <OptionsHolder xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <timeout>5</timeout> <lastrapportdate /> <temp /> <lastprintdate /> <deleteNonConfirmed>true</deleteNonConfirmed> <defaultProject>Obevakad</defaultProject> <watchprinters /> - <dontwatchprinters> <string>Microsoft Office Document Image Writer</string> <string>Apple LaserWriter 12/640 PS</string> </dontwatchprinters> <ignoreips /> </OptionsHolder> Any ideas? ///.

    - Hashtable thread safety? It doesn't seem completely clear to me which operations I can perform while continuing to be thread-safe on a Hashtable. Consider this scenario: Hashtable 'table' contains the following: table[1] = 1 table[2] = 2 table[...] = ... table[Int32.MaxValue] = Int32.MaxValue The following threads are now running against that same table Thread 1: for( int i = -1; i > Int32.MinValue; i-- ) { table.Add( i, i ); } Thread 2: for( int i = 1; i < Int32.MaxValue; i++ ) { table.Remove( i ); } Thread 3: while( true ) { IList list = new ArrayList( table.Keys ); foreach( int number in list ) { Console.WriteLine( number ); } } Obviously this is unusual, but it's something like what I actually have, and I want to know whether or not this is thread-safe or if I need to provide some synchronization.

    - SocketException ??? Hi. I have some quite unusual situation at which SocketException is thown while connecting a socket. Generally the aim of application is processes data and send results to a specified IPEndPoint. Since theres small amount of time for processing and sending large amount of data it is logical to split whole process in to few threads. One thread processes data and other sends it. The problem occures when user sets too little time for doing that. At first the thread works fine for about a minute or two, results are being received on another machine event when the speed of whole process is considered to be critical. And then just like that, exception SocketException is thrown while connecting to an IpEndPoint with message that might be translated as "It is usually allowed a single use of socket address". As seen below socket is being shutdown and closed in the end. And it seems like theres absolutely no reason for that exception to catch. Any propositions? Thank you. Error code of exception is 10048 private void Operate() { while (/*There is data to send*/) { Socket socket = null; try { socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); socket.Connect(ipEndPoint); <--------------------------------------------------------------------------Exception: SocketException thrown here !!!!!!!!!!!!! NetworkStream stream = new NetworkStream(socket); BinaryWriter writer = new BinaryWriter(stream); Scan[] scans = null; lock (queue) { scans = queue.Dequeue() as Scan[]; } for (int i = 0; i < scans.Length; i++) { writer.Write(scans[i].Azimuth); socket.Send(scans[i].Data); } if (socket.Connected) { socket.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Both); } } catch (SocketException e) { msp.Engine.Paused = true; if (MessageBox.Show(msp.Window,"Error occured:\n" + e.ToString() + "\n\nStop process?","Warning",MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.Yes) { msp.Engine.Launched = false; } else { msp.Engine.Paused = false; } } finally { if (socket != null) { socket.Close(); } } } Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario?

I've checked that the input is valid and I have no problems running the same query manually. I also have yet to find a consistent way to recreate this error but my clients are having no problems doing it fairly frequently with no rhyme or reason that I can tell. Although there are many clients simultaneously using the server they share one database connection but I am very careful to only use the connection through a wrapper class that Lock()'s the database connection.

I had runned without results the installutil for each assembly, I had compiled in command line the source code of these blocks in the server and i dont had results, i had do everything possible (but not install the Visual Studio 2003), and i dont have positive results. Hey Microsoft guys, what is the problem with yours??, Keep it simple, why the DAAB had worked so good, so easy, and with that enterprise library everithing had changed, and you had send us a stupid problem.

    - server side http for a non-web server I'm evaluating using http to carry data between a client and a non-web (C#) server application. This sounds great as the browser already has an http implementation and http is an open protocol. I was expecting to find a server piece that implemented the server side without requiring a full web server. I've looked around and found http.sys which sounded ideal but which doesn't seem have a C# API until Framework 2.0. Is anyone aware of either some kind of a C++ wrapper for http.sys or an alternate http implementation? If not, I can fairly readily build a wrapper on top of existing TCP functionality but I believe in reusing software when possible. I could also introduce IIS and create an ASP.NET "proxy" that could take http POSTS and relay them in the existing TCP format. Thanks Mike Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario?

    - asynchronous logging with enterprise library logging application block. I am trying to use asynchronous logging using MSMQ and I have configured the properties as defined in the help (see below) I don't understand where the property 'MsmqPath' is in the app.config for MSMQDistrbutor.exe is it meant to be an aplication settings or an enterprise library setting in the app.config? I have tried creating an application setting value for it but it still fails to write to the logging destination? Also is this meant to be registered as a service? To choose asynchronous logging. 1.. In the Enterprise Library Configuration Console, expand Client Settings, right-click Distribution Strategies, point to New and then click MSMQ. 2.. Select the strategy and then specify the QueuePath for the strategy. 3.. Select Client Settings, and then modify the DistributionStrategy property to select the MSMQ distribution strategy you created. 4.. Open the MSMQDistributor.exe.config file with the Configuration Console, located in the directory containing the file MSMQDistributor.exe. Modify the MsmqPath property of the MSMQ Distributor Service to match the QueuePath property of the MSMQ distribution strategy you selected in step 2. This distribution strategy will be used for all messages that are not filtered out. Note Do not use the In Process distributor strategy and the MSMQ distributor strategy to log to the same flat file sink. Using both the In Process and MSMQ distributor strategies with the same flat file sink may result in simultaneous attempts to write to the same file. This will result in failure due to the file resource being in use by another process. Has anyone got any ideas? I followed the instructions below to allow for an MSMQ not registered with AD. http://mvwood.com/blogs/blog/archive/2005/03/04/321.aspx Cheers Ollie Riches Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario?

    - Monitoring the existence of multiple files What's the best way to monitor an arbitrary set of files? In a program like a CD burning app, you've got a an explorer-like file system listview that you pick your files from and a listview for the CD compilation. If you populate the CD listview with 100 different files from 100 different folders, is there a good way to monitor any changes to the files in that listview (deletions, renames, moves, etc.)? This is mostly a GUI thing. I can easily check the existence of the files just prior to performing any operations on them, but I'd like to provide realtime feedback to the user so that they know when one of the files they've chosen is unavailable. I know there's the FileSystemWatcher class, but I suspect it's unwise to create 100 FSWs, each monitoring one file per directory. Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario? Tag: 102314

    - calling SQLLDR from C# (ASP.NET) Hi, I'm trying to call SQLLDR from ASP.NET (C#) to load data from a text file into a table. I'm not a windows/microsoft person so if you could give me a hint I'd appreciate it. I have tried a few ways to call sqlldr but it looks like the line with sqlldr command is just not being executed... There are no errors... I was told that it very well might be a permissions issue but I'm not sure where to look. I can execute my bat file from a command line with no problems and it works fine. Only from C# it doesn't work Here are my code samples: version 1: --------------- String strRunCommand = "SQLLDR "+p_DbConnection+" data='"+ p_LoadSourcePath+strTxtFileName+ "' control="+strFileType+".ctl log="+strLogFileName+" SKIP=1 ERRORS=10 BINDSIZE=1048576"; System.IO.File.Create(p_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat").Close); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriterp_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat"); sw.WriteLine(strRunCommand); sw.Close(); System.Diagnostics.Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput=false; p.StartInfo.FileName = p_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat"; p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = p_LoadDestinationPath; p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true; p.Start(); p.WaitForExit();//wait with no time limit p.Dispose(); --------------- version 2: --------------- String strRunCommand = "SQLLDR "+p_DbConnection+" data='"+ p_LoadSourcePath+strTxtFileName+ "' control="+strFileType+".ctl log="+strLogFileName+" SKIP=1 ERRORS=10 BINDSIZE=1048576"; System.IO.File.Create(p_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat").Close); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriterp_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat"); sw.WriteLine(strRunCommand); sw.Close(); System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo psi = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe"); psi.UseShellExecute = false; psi.RedirectStandardOutput = true; psi.RedirectStandardInput = true; psi.RedirectStandardError = true; System.Diagnostics.Process proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(psi); System.IO.StreamReader strm = System.IO.File.OpenText(p_LoadDestinationPath+"load_run.bat"); System.IO.StreamReader sOut = proc.StandardOutput; System.IO.StreamWriter sIn = proc.StandardInput; while(strm.Peek() != -1) { sIn.WriteLine(strm.ReadLine()); } sIn.WriteLine("EXIT"); proc.Close(); sIn.Close(); sOut.Close(); --------------- Tag: What is the best way to implement this scenario?

I could write a hidden file somewhere in the system or hide it in the registry, but if it is a limited XP account, I'm quite limited. Any genious idea!?

    - Banker's Rounding by default, a big mistake !! Check the following example: it's a simple presentation of a ticket. double[] lines = new double[5]; //Set some VAT's lines[0] = 1.245; lines[1] = 1.246; lines[2] = 1.241; lines[3] = 1.275; lines[4] = 1.255; //Print and calc total double tot = 0; foreach (double val in lines) { tot += val; Console.WriteLine(" {0:0.00}", val); } Console.WriteLine("-----"); Console.WriteLine(" {0:0.00}", tot); Console.ReadLine(); This is the result : 1,25 1,25 1,24 1,28 1,26 -------- 6,26 Now take our your calculator (or excell if you like) an add the 5 lines manualy ! Your result wil be 6.28. -> 0.02 difference !!!!!!!!! If I give this ticket to a client he demands to now where the 0.02 euro has gone to. I know this has to do with the way C# round's its doubles (it is using the Banker's Rounding method) What i don't understand is why it's the default.

    - Q re class layout with embedded structs A friend and fellow programmer asked, and I didn't know the answer: When a CLR class contains fields of non-scalar types (structs, say), are these structs then laid out in memory immediately within the class instance image, or are they converted implicitly into reference types and only references to instances of these stored in the class instance? According to him, the reflection APIs leave the impression that the latter takes place, whereas the SOS documentation suggests the former. To clarify, I'm referring to fields of types that are not usually reference types (structs) as opposed to arrays and strings that are of course always stored by reference.

What I'm trying to do now is try out some of the evidence options and the security policy settings. Code Signing and using this via certificates and Publish evidence is working fine, but I'm a bit stumped by strong naming at the moment. I've created a key pair using sn.exe, and read that I sign with this to an assembly before it's built (so not to a completed .exe). This seems to be the way to go from what I've read: AL.EXE /out:testapp.exe testapp.netmodule /keyfile:keypair.snk So far I've been using /target:winexe in CSC.EXE, so don't have the module files AL.EXE wants. I tried changing the CSC.EXE command line to: CSC.EXE /target.module /reference:... testapp.cs This allowed AL.EXE to complete without error messages, but the resulting .EXE says it's not a valid Win32 executable.
