You are building a generic car-factory, to produce cars that do not come from an assembly-line?
What does it add, what advantages do you gain, compared to simply writing a static-class and using that?

A Factory (Stupid naming on my side, probably)

YNOES. As mentioned, the term factory isn't greatly chosen. The idea behind it was to manage documents which are very specific tied to the main application. Some customers prefer databases, some file system store.
My idea however was to have this Big Mama Factory class over two other classes, one managing storage of database stored files the other one managing file system files (God, this terminology sucks).
Do not ask me why I went for singleton first, I then realized that it doesn't add anything an interface couldn't do - But at this point I already wrote it, and now I want to know whether my glitch in the matrix *could* have any *potential* use cases in the real world.

I shortened the example a bit - From the expectations an interface would fit a lot better.

That's what got me confused; why singletons? The terminology hints that something is wrong; a factory returns an object it creates (from a class), where in the singleton there is only one instance of the object.
Marco Bertschi wrote: I then realized that it doesn't add anything an interface couldn't do
Have the factory return an object, and drop it in an interface; could work in a similar way as we now use the database-classes; you can program against the interface, and have a class instantiate whatever concrete class that you want and pass it along. Similar to that IDbConnection that you can open, you can create a SqlConnection, or a concrete MySqlConnection or a SQLiteConnection.
You could do similarly for your store; the factory should decide which object should be created, and the rest of the application only uses the interface. Create one implementation for the database, one for the filesystem.
It also does not mean that you only want "one" of those objects; you want to be able to instantiate them multiple times, as you would with a database-connection. Yes, there's only one server, but I can talk to it from multiple connections

The code you've posted won't do that.
Firstly, if you pass anything other than typeof(Factory) to your GetInstance method, you'll get an InvalidOperationException - typeof(DerivedFactory) != typeof(Factory).
Secondly, if you pass typeof(Factory) to your GetInstance method, you'll get a MissingMethodException - you can't create an instance of an abstract class.
Thirdly, even if you fix the previous errors, you would only ever be able to have a single instance of one derived class in a single AppDomain. The static field is specific to the Factory class; you don't get a different copy for each derived class.

I agree with the others. There are a lot of problems with trying to do this.
The biggest I have is WHY? What advantage is there to creating a Factory for a class that can only ever have a single instance?

Hi,
Is it possible to use extension methods in C# using .NET 2 ?
I'm using Visual Studio 2013.
Thanks

No.
Extension methods were introduced as part of V3.0 - if you want to use them, you must target .NET 3.0 or higher.

v3.5, shirley? They were added with LINQ.
And, as Sascha said, if you're using the right version of the compiler, you can still use extension methods even if you're targeting v2.
There's even a library[^] which lets you use LINQ in v2, so long as you're using the right compiler.

Yes. To make it work, you have to place this somewhere in your project:
namespace System.Runtime.CompilerServices
{
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Assembly | AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method)]
public sealed class ExtensionAttribute : Attribute { }
}

Many of the class methods in the documentation come complete with example code. For instance, https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.move(v=vs.110).aspx[^]

I'm afraid that you don't seem to understand the purpose of this site. If you have a need of software, take a look at our articles. If you're lucky, you'll find examples there that give you the help and information you need. If you cannot find a suitable article, then you need to provide us with a detailed explanation of what problems your code is facing. Show us the relevant code sections and explain clearly what errors you are seeing.
What we don't do is write your code for you. That's your responsibility I'm afraid.

It doesn't really sound like you have started - much less need help to finish!
This is all pretty basic stuff: it's the kind of problem you give to students as homework after a week or two of a C# course, so pretty much you should know everything you need to solve it - probably in your course notes.
So give it a try: start small, and break it up into separate tasks. If you can't do one of them, break that up into smaller tasks and try again. Pretty quickly, you should find solving the little problems solves the big ones!
If you meet a specific problem, then please ask about that and we will do our best to help. But we aren't going to do it all for you!

Hello guys. I used following tutorial as a guide for adding/modifying a satellite assembly.
Creating Satellite Assemblies for Desktop Apps.
I am able to create
1- new .resx file
2- create a .resource file from it
3- and create satellite assembly from the .resource file.
I use following two commands for creating assemblies
1: resgen string.en-US.resx
2: al /target:lib /embed:string.en-US.resources /culture:PATH TO DEBUG\en-US\TestApp.resources.dll
I create a new folder for culture I am interested in, in the Debug folder and place the newly created satellite assembly in it. When I run it, I get the exception
Could not find any resources for the specified culture or the neutral culture. Make sure "TestApp.string.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "TestApp" at compile time or that all the satellite assemblies required are loadable and fully signed.
One thing of interest here is: if I just recompile my project then changes made are picked up. But if I don't recompile my project then running the .EXE from debug folder gives this exception. WHAT COULD BE WRONG ??? (hopefully I described well) Thanks for any input.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

The exception mesage says that resources are completely missing - not only for a specific culture. I'd suggest to get the project running without satellite assemblies first, and then add them.
By the way, en-US is typically the default culture, unless you explicitely set it to something else.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes. Everything is working fine if I run it without satellite assemblies. Then I add the assemblies and run it again, it works again.
Now I make a small change in the en-US.resx file. I generate xxxx.resources file from this .resx file and xxxx.resources.dll file (satellite assembly) from the resultant .resouces file. I simply replace the old satellite assembly with the new one. It gives the said exception. Unless I recompile the project, I won't work. What am I doing wrong here?

If I understand you correctly, you do a change in the main resource of the project but don't compile it. Then you manually propagate the change to the satellite assemblies. This means your satellite assemblies contain strings that are not in the main assembly. I assume that this is the problem leading to the exception. And if you compile the project again, so that the main assembly matches the satellite assemblies again, it will work. If this is what's happening, I think the behavior is by design.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

I change something in satellite assembly ( change in .resx --> generate .resources --> generate .dll using VS command line). No change in main assembly. Do I have to recompile the whole project again ORR just updating the satellite assembly should suffice ?
In my case, I have to recompile whole project whereas I think I should just update the satellite assembly and application should run. What am I doing wrong here ??

Good Day All
i have a Windows Service written in .NET 4.5 and it is hosted on a Server where there is Office with the Version Microsoft Word 2013 15.0.4420.1017
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
and my Windows Service does a Mail Merge and create Documents on fly.
On my Development machine its working nicely i have Office
Microsoft Word 2013 15.0.4719.1000
Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013
i have given all the Permissions to the LocaLService user, the Document is not Corrupt , i can open it with no Problem and all the contents are in good shape.
So on the Server i get this Error on my logs
Word was unable to read this document. It may be corrupt.
Try one or more of the following:
* Open and Repair the file.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter.
and LocalService is also Part of the Administrator Group for some desperacy reason to resolve this issue.
The File Path of the Document and the Extension is Correct
C:\LetterGenerator\Section78Notice.docx

So you need to check the file manually, to see if it is or is not.

I have opened the file its not Corrupt. i even installed the Service Pack1 for Office and now what is on the server version is now equal to the one on my machine.
