Hello again everyone. I am writing this function that checks when a string has a blank in it, and if it does, I want to replace it with an underscore, but when I compile my program I get this error:
Property or indexer 'string.this[int]' cannot be assigned to -- it is read only.
Here is my function, it is very simple:
<br />
public void File_Fix_Spaces(string original_file, string text)<br />
{<br />
bool done = false;<br />
<br />
string new_filename = "";<br />
<br />
for(int i=0; i<original_file.Length; i++)<br />
{<br />
if(original_file[i]==' ')<br />
{<br />
original_file[i] = '_';<br />
done = true;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />

Yep, that's right. Strings are immutable in the .NET Framework. You'll have to recode your function to convert the string to a StringBuilder object instead. StringBuilder will hold your string as an array of bytes or characters that you can then manipulate any way you want, then, at any time, you can have the StringBuilder recompile the array back into a String simply by calling it's .ToString() method.

What Dave said is correct but just as a hint: The .Net framework has a function to do what you want:
string newFileName = oldFileName.Replace(' ', '_');

Very true!  I've been getting a little tunnel vision lately. Work stress is getting to me...

Hi,
Iam just starting to try and use resource files to embed images and icons rather than have them as files that need to be available when running the application.
I have tried many different examples of code in my application but can not get any of them to work. The best I have managed is to create the resource file, add some code to the application and compile it without error, when I try to run it I get a :
Application has generated an exception that could not be handled
error every time.
Please could someone point me in the right direction.
I have created a 'MyRes.rs' file with the following text :
MyResImage1 IMAGE Image1.jpg
MyResIcon ICON MyIcon.ICO
used rc.exe to build the res file and that created a 'MyRes.RES' file
The trouble now is that I do not know how to access the resourse in my application to, for example:
use the Image1.jpg in an image list
use the MyIcon.ICO as an icon for the application in the status bar
Please could someone help (example code, or pointers to example code, would be very helpfull as I am fairly new to C# programming)
Thank you
Paul

Hello,
Is there a way of assigning null value to a decimal. Or, do I have to declare it as a string, and keep converting it to the decimal?
Thank you
|
|
|
|
|
C# 2.0 supports nullable types, if you;re using an older version you'll have to kluge it in one way or annother.
|
|
|
|
|
Thank you.
String conversion it is then.
|
|
|
|

If you're using .NET 1.x, then no, you can't assign null to a decimal. .NET 2.0 has nullable types, which means you can. However, that would require you to develop for 2.0 only, which will be released in November. So...it's up to you.

This doesn't result in a null value. This results in the decimal type have a value of 0. Value types cannot be null in the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1.

i've just posted a question like this, but i've got an answer not adapted at what i mean...
I explain better.
I can open a .avi file using this:
string file_path = @"c:\myfile.avi";
string sComand = "open \"" + file_path + "\" type mpegvideo alias...";
mciSendString(sComand, null, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
OK it just works, but i need to open a file from memory stream (System.IO.Stream, otherwise byte[] ) instead to load a file from the HardDisk.
How???

Well, you can't really hand off a stream to whatever you're using to play an AVI file because it probably doesn't understand streams. However, you could use the System.IO.IsolatedStorage classes to store the stream to a file in a temporary location and then open it from there. Just a thought...

i can't do it becouse i can't allow the user can get freely that file.
other ways? Are you sure about the not possibility to use tht function with a source stream?

If you're really that concerned about not letting the person at the data, then you may want to look into setting up a Windows Media Server then and just serving up the files as streams. That would seem to be the best way to go about doing it.
As for whether or not the player you're using can understand the System.IO.FileStream class, it would have to be written in .NET, or at least have .NET based functions...which none of the major players I've seen are. So that answer is no.

i've found aviStreamRead() function
Now i world to use it in c#, how?
|
|
|
|

What player are you using? How is this function defined? Could you give me a link to the SDK documentation for the player you're using?

If you have to stream comming from a Windows Media Server and are using the MediaPlayer control on your form, you've got nothing to worry about. Just point the MediaPlayer at the URL for the stream you want.
You never said anything about where the stream was coming from or what type it is...

to make that the user have to have installed on its computer windows media player, and i'm forced to use windows media player gui.
I want just play a avi file but now calling it from a path as c:\myfile.avi but using a FileStream or a Byte[].
I think it is possible in some way, but how? DirectShow?

OK. The stream isn't from a file and it isn't comming from a server. So, where is this stream comming from?
Maybe you can come up with something from this[^] sample.

the file stream came from the embedded source.

I have been writing a simple client/server application which functions just fine without encryption. However, I need to add encryption to be compliannt with regulations.
I am using RijndaelManaged objects for encryption. Both sender and reciever have the same hard-coded legal Keys and IV's.
Once I have a TCP socket established, I set my Network Stream using tcpClient.GetStream().
I use one of the stream reader/writer classes (all of them fail so far). For example, I will send a sting using a BinaryWriter bWrite. Then I will look to receive some string using BinaryReader bRead.
On the Send Side:
RijndaelManaged crypt = new RijndaelManaged();
//Insert code to set Key and IV
NetworkStream netStream = tcpClient.GetStream();
CryptoStream coutStream = new CryptoStream(netStream,crypt.CreateEncryptor(Key,IV),CryptoStreamMode.Write);
BinaryWriter bWrite = new BinaryWriter(coutStream);
bWrite("Some Cool String");
bWrite.Flush();
coutStream.FlushFinalBlock();
CryptoStream cinStream = new CryptoStream(netStream,crypt.CreateDecryptor(Key,IV),CryptoStreamMode.Read);
BinaryReader bRead = new BinaryReader(cinStream);
String receivedString = bRead.ReadString();
tcpClient.Close();
On the Recieve Side:
RijndaelManaged crypt = new RijndaelManaged();
//Insert code to set Key and IV
NetworkStream netStream = tcpClient.GetStream();
CryptoStream cinStream = new CryptoStream(netStream,crypt.CreateDecryptor(Key,IV),CryptoStreamMode.Read);
BinaryReader bRead = new BinaryReader(cinStream);
String receivedString = bRead.ReadString();
CryptoStream coutStream = new CryptoStream(netStream,crypt.CreateEncryptor(Key,IV),CryptoStreamMode.Write);
BinaryWriter bWrite = new BinaryWriter(coutStream);
bWrite("Some Cool String");
bWrite.Flush();
coutStream.FlushFinalBlock();
tcpClient.Close();
PROBLEM:
If I simply send from one program and recieve on the other -- everything works fine. It is when I actually send/receive from both that the program hangs.
Any thoughts?

Are you sure you're not encountering some sort of race condition where the TCP/IP stack is being blocked by a send/receive? If it works fine when one sends and then the other receives, could it be that something like this happens:
ClientA Sends
ClientB Sends
ClientA is blocked because it's waiting for ClientB to receive, so it doesn't pick up any incoming calls
ClientB is blocked because it's waiting for ClientA to receive, so it doesn't pick up any incoming calls
Does that sound logical?

It sounds logical -- but when I take out the encryption, everything works fine.
For ex, if I remove all references to encryption and attach the BinaryReader/Writers to the network stream, the program functions without trouble. It is when I add the CryptoStreams in that I have trouble.
I wonder if it has something to do with the read/write modes.
What I do note is that with encryption, if I send from A and then close the TCP connection, B recieves just fine. However, B fails to receive until the TCP connection closes.
Very wierd.

Hey everyone, I already know how to run a macro on an office document with automation, but I was wondering how I can use an external file to specify the macro?
Basically I want to write a Console application that will accept a macro file (BAS file exported from the VBA editor) as a parameter and run it on any specified files. So again....
How do I read a macro from a file then execute it in Word ?
thanks in advance for the help.

I'm new to c# and i'm creating a console application. I want to add a new List() to my app, but i'm getting a reference error. i've added the line using System.Collections. I've read that List is in System.Collections.Generic but I don't have access to this, only System.Collection.Specialized. Do I have to add a reference in the solution explorer and if so could you point me to which one.
