Binary Reader

Someone please send me a code to read a binary file. The code should then change the first 2 bytes to hexadecimal codes..... the next 4 bytes to decimal.... the rest of the file can be in any format...... It should take the name of the file as a command line parameter...

Sorry, you have to write it yourself. If you have a specific problem, then you can come here and ask about it. We won't write the code for you.

Hi Prakash,

Create a binary reader by passing any stream that is created on the file. (Which you recieved through command line parameter). Use the binary readers read method to read the content into a byte array. You can use the Byte array's ToString method to convert the content to the necessary format.

fs = File.OpenRead(@"your file name");
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
int read= br.Read(buffer,0,buffer.Length);
mybytearry[0].ToString("X")---hexa decimal

Guess this will help you.

Thanks and Regards

In the tree of the WindowsExplorer, when we click on a node and choose 'rename', the text of that node, maybe, appear in a textbox and we can change that text.

Can u show me how to do that in C#?

Please help me!

So, what you are saying here is that you want to simulate this effect on a listview control (or similar controls) into your application (WinForms I suppose)? Or you want access the shell?

Just set the LabelEdit property of your TreeView to true and you'll be able to edit it by clicking on it. If you want to trigger an Edit manually use TreeView.BeginLabelEdit().

== or String.Equals()

tommazzo24-Apr-05 6:43

Hi!

I'm currently trying to improve the speed of my xml library TXML, which does not rely on any XML base classes and thus parses the XML string itself to find a certain node.
Because of this I'm interested in finding the fastest way of checking the equality of two strings. On various sites I've read that String.Equals() is supposed to be faster than the == operator, which uses String.op_Equality() under the hood. So I replaced all == comparisons in a certain method with String.Equals() comparisons. The weird thing is that the new code with String.Equals() appears to run 100 ms on average slower than the old code with ==. Can anyone explain me why?

Here's the code of the above mentioned method:

private ReaderReturnValue GetNodeContent(string masterNode, int mnIndex, string subNode, int snIndex)<br />
        {<br />
            int mi = 1;        // masternode iterator<br />
            int si = 1;        // subnode iterator<br />
            int mnLength = masterNode.Length;<br />
            int snLength = subNode.Length;<br />
            int textLength = 0;    // the length of the text that is to be returned<br />
            int i = 0;            // the for iterator<br />
            int snBegin = 0;            // the beginning pos of the subnode<br />
            bool foundMn = false;<br />
            bool foundSn = false;<br />
            bool done = false;    // indicates if we have found the nodes and the text length<br />
<br />
            if(masterNode == "")        // if there is no masterNode specified set foundMn to true<br />
                foundMn = true;<br />
<br />
            for(i = 0; i < XmlText.Length; i++)<br />
            {<br />
                if(XmlText[i] == '<')            // are we currently inside a node?<br />
                {   <br />
<br />
                    if(foundMn == false)    // do we have to search for our masternode?<br />
                    {<br />
                        if(mnLength + 1 <= XmlText.Length - i - 1)            // only continue if we haven't reached the end yet - aka if there are enough chars left to read<br />
                        {<br />
                            if(XmlText.Substring(i + 1, mnLength + 1).Equals(masterNode + '>'))    // have we found our masternode?<br />
                            {<br />
                                if(mi == mnIndex)<br />
                                    foundMn = true;<br />
                                else<br />

I looked at the implementation of op_Equality and Equals. It looks like op_Equality ends up calling Equals in its implementation, after doing some null checking. I don't know why calling op_Equality is faster.

Senthil

Due to some misconfiguration in my Profiler I originally thought op_Equality() to be faster, which in fact isn't the true case. Apparently the null checking that is performed in op_Equality() makes it a little slower than Equals().
Thanks for your help!

Ofourse you can. A form is a class like everything else. If you have assigned public variables or methods in the class you want to access then you can access them from any other class in your solution.

E.g. you have 2 classes, Form1 and Form2 and you want to access Form2 from Form1.
(1) First of all you create one instance of each class:

Form1 <code>myFirstForm </code>= new Form1();
Form2 <code>mySecondForm </code>= new Form2();

(2) Assuming that you have publicly available fields or methods in Form2 then you can access them from any class, including Form1. So if you wanted to call a method located inside Form2 from somewhere within Form1 you could say:

int <code>myRate </code>= mySecondForm.CalculateRate();

Hope this helps

One thing that Polis didn't mention was the use of events and delegates. You can hook into events that another form (i.e., FormB) exposes to notify your main form (i.e., FormA). This will allow you to maintain private methods across both forms and still transfer data.

The same way you would execute a stored procedure anywhere else.

I'll assume you are using SQL Server 2000

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(myConnectionString);
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(storedProcName, conn);
// Add any parameters to the command here
conn.Open();
// Run only one of the following lines depending on what you are expecting.
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery(); // Sproc returns no data 
myValue = cmd.ExecuteScalar(); // Sproc returns a single value 1st col 1st row
myReader = cmd.ExecuteReader(); // Sproc returns many rows

// Everything done. close the connection.
conn.Close();

It is a SqlDataReader. e.g.

SqlDataReader myReader = myProc.ExecuteReader();

You will then need to set up a loop to iterate through all the rows. e.g.

while(myReader.Read())
{
    // use the SqlDataReader's Get... methods to extract the data.
}

Garbage Collection - Question

Tristan Rhodes24-Apr-05 0:33

Tristan Rhodes

24-Apr-05 0:33

I have an item that is a tag value to a list view, and the list view item is also contained in the object. The relationship is two way.

My question is, if i remove these objects, will it persist in memory due to the fact that they refference each other?

From what i've read of the Garbage collector, it will perform a graph search for all objects reachable from root objects. So even if my two objects DO refference each other, they will be removed if they are unreachable from the root objects.

Is this right?

Cheers
