Dear Sir,
Forgive my ignorance, but as I said in my question, 'I used to be a delphi guy, I am just a newbe to c#'.
Based on this fact I really can't see or know how to use the tips you mentioned.
Could you be more specific please. I am quiet sure that you have the answer for my question<<MY HUGE TROUBLE>>
Thanks a lot for your patience and understanding..

Beyond pointing you in the right direction there is not much else I can do beside writing the application. I would recommend a good thick book on C# and then you will be able to use the MSDN reference to get the immediate answers.

Dear Sir,
I thought you would say something like this.
And I would like to thank you for your patience.
I am already surfing in a HUGE book on c#, and all I wanted is a little help on starting.
Again.
Thanks so much ...

I have a question for all the experts here.
In visual studio, I find a lot of tools that help you. For Example Gridview, you can use the SqlDataSource to do all your Select, Insert, Update, Delete functions.
So what is recommended? write your own code in different classes and methods or use these tools?
My personnal opinion is that the wizard clutters up the aspx page, while your code reside in aspx.cs which is neater.
But of course wizard is faster and more convenient.
So what do you advise?
|
|
|
|
|
The wizard is also less effort, and probably less effort to run again when your schema changes.
If you are worried about tools making your life too easy then use notepad 
|
|
|
|
|
I agree it is less effort to create, but for troubleshooting and modifications, it will be difficult as all the fragments are either hidden or distributed....
If we were writing codes...all the logic, data access methods will be clustered together.
this will mean easier to find the problems if any.
Right?

Theres good and bad code generators. A large majority of code generators just spit out a whole bunch of inflexible templated crap, and its impossible to build on what they give you.
Decent tools can do a little bit of code-generation in such a way that things don't break. A good example is the forms designer - that adds extra stuff in a partial class behind the scenes. Our tools do a similar approach on data classes. The main point is that the tools can be run again at any time to cope with say a new button on a form, or a new field in a database - without breaking any existing modifications.
The only thing to be wary of is that it does generally force you to keep using the same tool - or maintain the generated code by hand. Stuff thats built into Visual Studio is obviously still going to be there - but you probably should also lean towards picking tools which give the same functionality with less code-gen.

hello
i hav developed an application in whose database i have saved the hashcode for the password string... Now the problem is that my client changed the password and now has forgotten the password ... N now i have to somehow unlock my application... All i did was changed the input password string into the resulting hashcode and saved it in the db.. now i have the hashcode but cant reverse it to get the original string
Please provide help on how i can trace back the password

Are you talking about a cryptographic hash? If so, then you can't retrieve the password from the hash. That's the whole point of cryptographic hashing - it's a 1 way process. I suggest you read this article[^] to gain a better understanding of the subject.
If you are hashing passwords, your application should offer a user the means to reset their password if they have forgotten it. Typically you would ask the user to identify themselves, for instance by answering a personal question that only they would know the answer to. You could consider encrypting the password instead so it could be retrieved. However then you have the issue of securing the encryption key. Hashing passwords is, in my opinion, the preferred approach.

There are two ways:
1. Examine the algorithm used to create the hash code so that you can invent a way of calculating the shortest possible strings that result in a specific hash code.
2. Loop through all possible combinations of characters and create a hash code from them and compare to the stored hash code.
Neither of these are easy or fast. The purpose of hashing the passwords is that it should not be possible to recreate them.
Just give your client a new password.
Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Create a new password, hash it using the method in the application and then insert it into the field.

I have an application where I use the web browser control and allow JScript to interact with my application though the object for scripting class that is set to com visible.
I've been looking around the and I can't seem to find the limits of what data types/object you can pass to and from JScript. I know the basics work like int, float, string, ect...
But I'd like to pass XML directly, but not as text due to the overhead of phrasing it. So does anyone know the limits or where to find out more information about the C# to JScript COM interop though the web browser control?
I know the following works:
public string feedJScriptXML()
{
XmlDocument myXMLDoc = new XmlDocument();
myXMLDoc.Load("C:\myXMLfile.xml");
return myXMLDoc.OuterXml;
}
Then send it as text to JScript and use it in JScript by
function readCsharpXML()
{
var xmlString = window.external.feedJScriptXML();
var theXML = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM");
theXML.load(xmlString);
}
The above is 100x better than writing the XML to a file and then reading the file into JScript... I think it might be better if I could dump the XML document into the JScript directly to save the extra phrase time... This application needs to read the XML 100's of times a minute so every little bit helps...
The only information I've found on this is very basic via the MSDN C# tutorials http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/bb798044.aspx?wt.slv=RightRail[^]
and the WebBrowser.ObjectForScripting information at MSDN: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser.objectforscripting(VS.80).aspx[^]

I doubt you can return a .NET XmlDocument to Javascript but you might be able to return an MSXML interface. Of course then you don't have the simplicity of using XmlDocument in your C# code so I don't know if that is of any benefit.
SpacixOne wrote: but not as text due to the overhead of phrasing it.
you mean parsing it I guess. Are you sure the overhead is significant to warrant consideration? Also I have no idea what you are going to do with it in the javascript but I seems likely you want to copy some values from the XML into HTML elements for display etc. Can't you just do that using the DHTML interface from the C# code directly?
Also when it comes to altering a HTML display in an embedded browser control you can generate the HTML using XML/XSLT transformation and then use one DHTML call to transfer the results into the browser document rather than using DHTML to access each discrete HTML element.

So you mean just write the whole page out to an XML file instead of just the data... I never thought about doing it that way... crap wish I we thought something along these lines a few weeks back (or posted it on here to get your comment back then) as that might have been easier in the long run.
Currently to far along to change that much though 
Right now I'm just setting it up so there is an easy to configure display (IE HTML display) that allows to see the data that is saved via XML for web posting.

Wonder how hard that would be to write a convert function, yet though converting it would still have the extra step and might not be much a benefit at all... Sounds like I may end up on worth than failure heh

Yes or even sections. That's what all this nonsense about Web Parts and others are about. You can divide your page into sections with say a DIV element as a parent to all the content. Then you can transform XML/XSLT into the new content for that DIV and update just that part of the page. It's nothing new, it's all been around since like IE 4 I believe.

A long time ago I used XML Data Islands to contain the data for a very dynamic browser based application. This is essentially what you are doing. Have you thought about AJAX or script callbacks to get chunks of rather than the whole thing?

The way I'm doing this is sort-of like AJAX without using the JScript XML HTTP GET request, but a custom API function call built into my API. The JScript can call for new data when it needs it or the user can invoke it to update/refresh manually.
As I posted in the example code I didn't add all of the XML phrasing stuff, but a simple load and dump the XML. For the example it could have been just as easy to use File.readalllines on String.Join them it together to send the string.
string[] XmlLines = File.ReadAllLines("C:\randomXMLfile.xml");
string XmlString = String.Join("\n", XmlLines);
But then where isn't an XML document or node, which was the original point of my question. Anyway enough of my clarification rant, the data is already in chunks and my example doesn't show it.

To clarify, you are have coded you own version of an existing framework. Now then, what was the question?

Mark Nischalke wrote: To clarify, you are have coded you own version of an existing framework.
I didn't recode and existing framework to my own version. AJAX requires a web server to serve an XML file. You open an JScript XML HTTP GET request and call an URL running a server side script (ASP.NET, PHP, and so on) that returns XML via a text string.
I'm using a WinForm C# application with a webbrowser control that is running a local JScript page to dynamically request and display data XML returned to it.
The page is setup as a JScript page so it is possible to easily change the interface (skinning, overall functionality, and so forth) without recompiling the application. The C# program just collects and then XML formats the data. This data could be posted to a webpage or just saved as XML on the users PC. The webbrowser control + JScript page allows the user to view it as it is being collected, or to view data that isn't saved (maybe logging is off) as it comes in.
Mark Nischalke wrote: Now then, what was the question?
My question was as stated in my orgianl post.
Is there a way to pass an System.Xml object to JScript via com using a [ComVisible(true)] class set to the WebBrowser.ObjectForScripting property of a web browser control?
|
|
|
|
|
It is possible to serve web pages, or handle http requests without a webserver.
It seems to me as though you are making this more complicated than it needs to be. Use xslt to transform you xml into the appropriate html to be displayed in a webbrowser control.
Insert the XML into a XML data island via the HTML DOM.

I know what you mean but using the <xml src=""> data island makes it harder to port over to Mono.Mozilla.WebBrowser.dll for a gecko based browser control.

It is easier to give advice and answers when relevant information is stated up front. If this is a Windows app, you are guaranteed to have IE on the machine, why bother with trying to support others browser controls. I'm sure your project has a timeline and budget, does it including trying to develop something to support all possible combinations of technology?
Good luck

Hi guys. I have the below code but am having problems with compiling the code. I get the following error when compiling the code. I know where the error is but do not know how to fix it. Can somebody please advise?
The error message is as follows:
"Operator '==' cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'bool'"
private void btnCancel_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
this.Dispose();
}
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=W:\CS Call Info\MobEmail.mdb");
OleDbCommand cmd;
private void btnLogon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sql = "SELECT UserName,Password FROM Users WHERE UserName = '"
+ txtboxUserName.Text + "' AND Password = '" + txtboxPassword.Text + "'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);
OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
try
{
conn.Open();
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
try
{
if (dr.Read == false)
{
MessageBox.Show("Invalid Username And Or Password Supplied", "Logon Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
else
{
this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
if (conn.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
{
conn.Close();
}

Brilliant. Understood and rectified. It now works. Thanks a mill mate. Just needed somebody to point me in the right direction. Below the code changed and it works fine.
private void btnLogon_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string sql = "SELECT UserName,Password FROM Users WHERE UserName = '"
+ txtboxUserName.Text + "' AND Password = '" + txtboxPassword.Text + "'";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);
conn.Open();
OleDbDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
try
{
}
catch (InvalidOperationException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
try
{
while (dr.Read() == true)
{
this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
if (conn.State != ConnectionState.Closed)
{
conn.Close();
}
}
