I also think you should go for option 2, it will be cleaner and easier to maintain and as a plus you could put it up as an article here.

You should be able to get the list of available fonts like ElliotA showed you, and you can use the fonts in that list to set the font on a text box (Just a matter of copying all the properties in the Font object you have, to the Font property of the text box)

Remember, if you come across any problems that you can't find answers for, or there is something you don't understand you can always post another question.

Hang on...Let me get this straight. You want to "develop an advanced font dialog" by extending the existing one, but you don't know how to even open the existing one, extend it or even create a text box with the font name in it. Oh, wait, and you're "not that good in C#".

My advice is that this is not a project for people who are "not that good at C#". My advice is that you go back to your manager and tell him that you can't do this and see if you can get him to assign you a simpler project to begin with. You have to start with the simple things and build up to the complex stuff.

You can read about the FontDialog class here[^]

The FontDialog class calls into windows API's to display the inbuilt common dialog. You cannot directly subclass this from .net. Your best bet would be to write one from scratch, or find a pre built one available on-line.

I wish i could do as you said, get a new project to do.
However, this is my school project and the school pick everything
for me. I don't get a choice. Whats worse, my supervisor is not
even helping at all by sleeping at the back of the class.

Anyway, thx for the reply. I go by the advice and create a font dialog of my own. Also able to retrieve the system font.
Now the problem is i don't know how to apply the effects (font, style, sizes, script) to the sample box for the user to see the changes.
Any help?

Also i've search through google, and i just can't seem to find ways to retrieve or create the character set, character map or even the unicode.

Sorry, I don't have any sample code for adding UPS shipping to your webpage.

Don't UPS have documentation for their API? It seems like it is a bit of niche thing to need.

I want to encrypt/decrypt some data with RSA. I have the private key (D and Modulus) and the public key (Exponent and Modulus) saved in text files.
When I tried to decrypt (encrypt data with private key) I tried to import RsaParameters with D and Modulus set to the values in the file and the other parameters set to null. On the Import method it throws a "Bad Data" Exception. It seems that I can only import RsaParameters when all of the parameters are set? Can I do it any other way?

Bad Data exception can occurs when your key is wrong. Your private key and modulus are binary data, perhaps they have been ASCII armoured in the text file?

I think that the error you are getting might be related to the length of the data you are trying to encrypt.

RSA was designed for encrypting/decrypting cryptographic keys, not data. I cannot remember off the top of my head the max length, but if you plough through the MSDN Documentation, it is in there somewhere.

As I said at the start this is only a MIGHT BE, but given that RSA has this length problem you would be better off switching to another encryption provider now, rather than wait till it breaks before doing so.

No, the exception is thrown on the Import()-method, while importing the keys. I checked the keys also, they're all correct...
In fact this gives the error:

<br />
            RSACryptoServiceProvider provider1 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();<br />
            RSAParameters p1 = provider1.ExportParameters(true);<br />
<br />
            RSAParameters p2 = new RSAParameters();<br />
            p2.D = p1.D;<br />
            p2.Modulus = p1.Modulus;<br />
<br />
            RSACryptoServiceProvider provider2 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();<br />
            provider2.ImportParameters(p2);<br />

The only thing that strikes me as, possibly, odd about your code is the creation of p2. Why not simply re-use p1?

RSACryptoServiceProvider provider1 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
RSAParameters p1 = provider1.ExportParameters(true);

RSACryptoServiceProvider provider2 = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
provider2.ImportParameters(p1);

Re: C# RSA

Because all the parameters of p1 are set, and i want to simulate a situation where there are only the D and Modulus parameters set...

Import Data from CSV into Datatable

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
+ "Data Source=\"" + dir + "\\\";"
+ "Extended Properties=\"text;HDR=No;FMT=Delimited\"";

I'm using the above connection, together with a SELECT * FROM file statement, to pull in data from a comma-delimited text file, where dir is the directory where the file is located and file is the name of the csv file.

This works well for files that contain English characters only, but for any file that uses non-English (ASCII) characters, the expression fails.

I have written the csv file using a StreamWriter with Encoding=UTF8 so the characters display fine when viewed in Notepad or Excel, but when pulled into the DataTable, the value in the table is blank. Is there some Extended Property that can be used to permit East Asian characters, say, to be displayed properly? Thanks.

Getting 530 error while downloading files from FTP

Hi All,
While downloading files from FTP server using WEBClient class, I'm able to download first file (while looping through all the files)to my local system after that i'm getting the error "The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in".

The credentials are correct as the first file is getting downloaded successfully

Following is the code

FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(strFileName);
if (!fi.Extension.ToLower().Equals(".csv")) return false;

if (serverUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
{
return false;
}

// Get the object used to communicate with the server.
using (WebClient request = new WebClient())
{

//request.Proxy = null;
//request.BaseAddress = serverUri.ToString();
// This example assumes the FTP site uses anonymous logon.
string strUsername, strPassword;
strUsername = this.FtpUserName;
strPassword = this.FtpPassword;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(strUsername, strPassword);
string strListeningDir = "";
strListeningDir = this.ListeningDirectory;

strFileName = this.FileName;
try
{

Logger.Write(serverUri.ToString());
newFileData = request.DownloadData(serverUri.ToString().Trim());
fileString = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newFileData);
FileStream fs = new FileStream(strListeningDir + strFileName, FileMode.Create);
fs.Write(newFileData, 0, newFileData.Length);
Logger.Write("File copied to listening directory...");
fs.Close();
GC.Collect();

}
catch (WebException e)
{
throw e;
}
}
return true;

hi everyone
I would like to know how to code a server to create an application in C # client / server.
The database used is SQL server, it contains 7 tables.
And more specifically how I can code a server in c # so that multiple users can simultaneously access and complete their treatment (addition, modification, deletion, printing, consulting, research)
I hope to have an answer because it will determine my future work.
Thank you in advance

Concurrency can be handled at the database level and google can provide a lot of help on it.

There is a huge namespace SQLClient dedicated for this purpose. Use the classes it has to offer.

Here[^] is an article that can help you.
