hey howzit,
i have an .EMF image (its just text) sitting in a picturebox. its about a4 in size (so when in runtime mode it covers half the width and more than the height of the screen).
problem is i can't see the text, so i need to beable to enlarge the image to fit the full width of the screen WITHOUT LOOSING quality or resolution i.e. i wanna have the same zoom in/zoom out functionality that Windows Picture & Fax viewer has.
can you help?

Hello, there. I'm looking for a way to remove the last tag in an XML file in a fairly quick manner. Here's the scenario. I have an XML file used as a session log of an application. You can include one or more session logs in the same file, so I have the following format for the XML:
<SessionLogs>
<SessionLog date="01/24/2006" time="6:45:31 AM">
<SessionEntry>
<Data> ... </Data>
</SessionEntry>
</SessionLog>
</SessionLogs>
The session log file can be quite large so I don't want to read it into an XMLDocument object, chop the last tag, and write the file back out just to remove one line from the file. Also, since the file can be large, I was hoping that I wouldn't have to parse through the whole thing to get to the end for one line. Does anyone know how this could be best accomplished? Is there a way to seek backwards through a file stream (i.e. after the file has been opened in Append mode) by one line and remove the line? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Use the XmlTextReader class. When you are positioned to the SessionLog node, call the XmlTextReader.ReadOuterXml, which will return a string representing the XML of the current node.

Hi, Michel. Thanks for the suggestion. Would this in essence place the whole XML document in memory in one string or am I misunderstanding how XmlTextReader would work? I was trying to avoid placing the whole document in memory if possible because of the size of the XML file. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how this really works.  Thanks.

I don't know the exact inner workings of XmlTextReader, but I can tell you it does not read the entire XML. XmlTextReader.Read() allows you to move to the next node (look at XmlNodeType enumeration to see all the node types).
I am sure that this is far more efficient than XmlDocument.
You could make an experiment: try both methods with a very large document and see which is faster. Try with both experiment with the same file at the same location on disk.
I could bet 20$ that XmlTextReader will win the race.

I agree with the performance entirely. One other thought. XmlTextReader gets me to the position in the file, but then what do I do with it? XmlTextReader provides read only access to the file. How do I end up stripping the last tag from the file if XmlTextReader doesn't read the whole XML document into memory for me to write back out (minus the ending tag, of course)? Perhaps I'm still missing something obvious.

When you are positioned in the correct node, after a number of calls to XmlTextReader.Read() and XmlTextReader.Name, when you realize you are on the node you want, make a call to XmlTextReader.OuterXml() to get a System.String object containing the XML within the <SessionLog> node only.
Look at the XmlTextReader documentation, you find it is very easy. For instance.
while (myReader.Read())
{
if ((myReader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element) && (myReader.Name == "SessionLog"))
{
return myReader.OuterXml();
}
}
This is not the most elegant code, but it is to illustrate the use of the XmlTextReader for your needs.

Can you see how I can get this code to compile please?
public string SmtpServer
{
set
{
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = value;
}
}
may be I should use something like:
System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient client = new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient(value);
if so then how do I set SmtpServer?
Thanks

Hi,
I am converting a 1.1 code to 2.0
The line that I would like to convert is
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = SMTPserverName;
P.S. using outlook
do you know what should this line be in 2.0 ?
Thanks
|

If you're using the System.Web.Mail classes, you're not using Outlook. You're using the CDOSYS library, or CDONT on NT 4.0.
In .NET 2.0, you can continue using System.Web.Mail which will continue to use CDOSYS/CDONT. The new version of the framework adds a new namespace, System.Net.Mail, which implements the SMTP protocol directly in managed code. To send mail, you need to create an instance of the SmtpClient class. You can pass the SMTP server name to the constructor.

I can not get this to work
public new void To(string email)
{
base.To = email;
}
the error is:
can not implicitly convert type string to system.net.mail.mailaddresscollection
Thanks
|
|
|
|
|
The To property is a collection, so you need to say base.To.Add(email);
I'm not that familiar with System.Net.Mail - I only really know that it exists. I've used System.Web.Mail a couple of times.

I have developed a TextBox Control with some customized features by inheriting the Default TextBox Control. The problem is, when i added the control to the form the designer fails to show any control in the form including the developed control. But the designer can show all the controls if i remove that control. How can i provide design time support to the control so that is remains visible in design time .
Thanks in advance.

|

have u added the textbox control through the code ?
if u have done this way the textbox will not be visible during
the design time.
but it will be visible at runtime.

I need a form that will popup next to a button. For instance, say I have a volume button on a form but I dont want to put the controls for the volume on the form. Instead, I push the volume button and a little form pops up next to it that has all of the necessary volume controls. Furthermore, I dont want it to perform like a conventional form. I dont want it to show up in the task bar and I need its location to always be next to the button that instantiated it. I have seen this on several applications, including Fireworks and Photoshop. Any ideas? Thanks.

u can create a form and set it's ShowInTaskbar property false,
and call the Show method of the form in the MouseDown of the Button.
later u can access the form and do as u wish

Pramod

Yeah, that is what I was going to do. I just didn't know if there was a better way of doing it. Thanks for your help.

Hey,
I wanna display an image on the background of a form...thats easy enough, just set the form.backgroundimage to the image.
The problem is I also want to to scroll down the image if its bigger than the form, i set form.autoscroll to true, yet I still can't scroll down, up or side to side.
How can I sort this out, or what control would work better, the picture box control poses the same problem.
Thanks for the help

hi! 
In the ShowDialog, is there a way to set the modality of the form into a parent form only not to the whole application?
i used the ShowDialog(IWin32Window) overload, still it's application modal.
but if i use the Show method and disabled the Parent form this solves the problem, but the process of the parent continues after the form is shown. Unlike in the ShowDialog, it freezes the parent's process until you close the modal form.
so is there any way to make this somewhat a combination?
- Form Modal
- freezes the parent's process when the modal form is shown & resumes when it's closed.
any suggestions is very much appreciated.
thanks in advance!

i think this can be solved by making the parent form as MDI and
the form that u want to display as the MDI child of the parent form.
hope that works for u
Regards,
Pramod

the child form is like a messagebox. that shows message, only modal to the owner/parent form and executes the next statement of the owner after it's close.
that's why it doesn't solves my problem. 
i don't use the .Net's messagebox because i want some other controls on it.
anyway, thanks for your reply!
i really appreciate it!
|
|
|
|
|
What actually are u trying to do?
if u are using a form to display the message then u can
make that message form as the MDI child of the form from
where u are calling this message form.
if u can explain ur problem in more detail..
Regards,
Pramod
