Bey guys,
i have a little problem, so if you can help me ill thank you...
i built a Sql server using Visual Stuido 2008 ( it created me a file name my_database.sdf ). now i am tring to connect to the sql server i have created,

i using the code below:

public void Connect()
        {
            this.han = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=C:\Users\יהב\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\ADOtutorial\ADOtutorial\my_database.sdf;Persist Security Info=True;Application Name=ConnectDB");
            Console.WriteLine(this.han.ConnectionString);
            try
            {
                this.han.Open();
            }
            catch (NullReferenceException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
            }
            catch (SqlException e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
            }
        }

this is a code in class, the class using this.han to make theconnection, the connection string i have copied from the connection strind i got from VS when i did motify connection -> advance. but for some resons i cant connect

the error i got:

.sdf files are SQL CE databases, not SQL Server. You have created an "embedded" database. The database that you wanted (SQL Server) has the file-extension ".mdf".

What did you use to create the database?

thanks for the replay, umm i didnt know that this is not a SQL Server... i open new Console APP (to check this, acualy i am building a program to my website in WIN but now i need to learn it first.. i done it before with MYSQL but...)
so~, i clicked on Add new item (in the sulution explorer) and them local database connection.
umm... and them i saw the database in the database explorer and i could edit tables, add tables etc...

if its not mysql, can you explin me where i can find the way to connect to that type of sql server?

Do you want:
* SQL Server (Serves lots of people at once)
* SQL CE (Embedded database)
* MySQL (...) ?

The SQLConnection is used for SQL Server, not MySQL. SQL Server might be installed by the VS2008 setup, MySQL is a separate download.

Downloads be here[^], tutorials on SQL Server are here[^].

I'd like to recommend ASP Spider[^]. It's the ideal place to try out new ASP.NET/SQL projects, since it is free.

Hi, add another \ to every \ you have in the connectionstring.

Hope this one can help

XML Serialisation on Circular Dependency

i have tried it before, it dosent do any change, becuse i added @ before the connection string.

Hi
Say I have 3 classes Book, Page and Chapter. A Book has many Pages, a Page has many chapters.

I wrote it so that Page has a reference back to Book and Chapter has a reference back to Page which I found really useful because I could pass around Page but still get access to the Book object and find out how many other pages there are (as an example).

Of course, this creates a circular dependency which, now that I need to, I can't serialise this with XML.

What should I have done ? Have another object that maintained references to all these objects ? Passed both Book, Page & Chapter around rather than just Chapter ?

If anyone can shed a little light I would be very pleased.

Thanks

For serialization, you could decorate the back references properties or public members with the [XmlIgnore] attribute, but that would not solve the deserialization problem.

I suggest you review your design. Could you post the code for your classes, I may be able to give you some pointers.

Hi, Thanks for replying.
I tried the XmlIgnore route but then realised that there is no AfterSerialisation on XML Serialisation which mean that it wasn't what I wanted.

With classes like this

<br />
    public class Book<br />
    {<br />
        public List<page> Pages { get; set; }<br />
        public string Title { get; set; }<br />
    }<br />
    public class Page<br />
    {<br />
        public Book ParentBook {get;set}<br />
        public List<chapter> Chapters { get; set; }<br />
        public int PageNo { get; set; }<br />
        public Page(Book parent)<br />
        {<br />
            ParentBook = parent;<br />
        }<br />
    }<br />
    public class Chapter<br />
    {<br />
        public Page ParentPage { get; set; }<br />
        public string Heading { get; set; }<br />
        public string Content { get; set; }<br />
        public Chapter (Page parent)<br />
        {<br />
            ParentPage = parent;<br />
        }<br />
    }<br />
</chapter></page>

I can do something like this

<br />
Book b = new Book() { Title = "My Book" };<br />
Page p = new Page(b) { PageNo = 1 };<br />
Chapter c = new Chapter(p) { Heading = "Introduction" };<br />
<br />
RenderChapterNavigation(c);<br />
<br />
private static void RenderChapterNavigation(Chapter c)<br />
{<br />
  if (c.ParentPage.Chapters.Count == 0)<br />
  {<br />
    RenderNoChaptersLink();<br />
  }else{<br />
    RenderChapters(c);<br />
  }<br />
}<br />

(this is not the exact code, but you can see how I can references the other chapters after having just passed in a Chapter object).

What kind of XML structure are you expecting?

Hi
I have no preference on the structure but what I wanted was to to have the backward-links from Page to Section and Page to Book reestablished automatically when I deserialised it.

Thanks for your replies

Unit Testing

I have a number of test that each submit an object to a Queue (that is declared statically in my Unit test Class) The queue automatically processes each item until there is non left and then fires an event allProcessed.

The problem, is that for each unit test all i test is that it was added to the queue correctally, and i need to let the queue finish processing and at the moment it is getting cut off becasue all the tests finish before the queue processed.

Is there any way to make the test run wait until the allProcessed is fired?

Thanks

Deploying custom fonts at Client Place

Hi,

I've developed an application that uses a few font styles that might not be present in all machines... How can I embed these fonts when I deploy my application at the Client's system, assuming that his system does not have those fonts installed... Please suggest...

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Eddy,
Thanks for the reply... But I think you misunderstood my question... Suppose my client's system does not have a font style named "xyz" which I used in my application. I asked how to embed the font in my application and deploy the application on my client's system so that he sees the same font styles that I used while developing the application.

Eddy Vluggen23-Apr-09 5:04

23-Apr-09 5:04

You'll have to put the font in the font-directory, that's it. If 'xyz' is installed there, your application can use it without problems. I doubt that it can be used when it's merely an embedded resource. I might be mistaken off course, perhaps one of the other readers has a better idea or option that you may try Smile | :)

--edit--
I was mistaken! Big Grin | :-D

You do need to be careful here, as if they don't have the fonts installed, they might not then have licenses to use them. You don't want to be distributing copyright material now...
