Because your new here and to programming i wont be too sarcastic but here area a few pointers when posting here...
1.) Please use a subject related to your question
2.) Please use pre tags when posting code
Have a look at my article - How to use the code project forums[^]
Now on to your question 
Your trying to get the data from a flat text file, and these can only be accessed by one program / thread / object at a time. Thats why you get the FileAccessException, because the program that logs the signal strenght is constantly updating the file.
Now that i think about it, you can open a file that a program is writing too and view it in notepad... so u might be able to do this, as long as you dont try to write to the file. What strikes me as strange in your code is your using just the stream reader... maybe this is the problem... try this
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\measurement.log", FileMode.Open);
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(fs);
string fileContents = reader.ReadToEnd();
as for the graphical part, have a look at GDI+
it involves the use of the OnPaint(object Sender, EventArgs e) event handler of a component like a panel, because youll be updating it continuously your going to have to paint on a Double Buffered Panel so that it wont flicker!
Well that should keep u busy for a while if this is your 1st C# program, if u have any questions ill be glad to help if i can.
Good luck!

Not strictly true. It is possible to set a sharing mode for the file. If you open the file as Exclusive (aka DenyAll or ShareNone) then nothing else can access it. If you open the file as ShareRead then multiple things can open the file as Read Only (so long as they all allow other processes to read the file too)
Harvey Saayman wrote: What strikes me as strange in your code is your using just the stream reader
What struck me was that the file never gets closed. The OP needs a using block around that stream. That is the most likely reason as the program that generates the file is probably expecting readers simultaneous with it writing the file and will have the file open accordingly.

Hi all...
I'm writing a small application, that monitors the active excel workbook (The excel window that is currently opened and active). The applicatition then monitors the active-row, get the data from the first coloumb of that row and looks it up in a database.
I have managed to get a reference to excel, using Interop-marshal (see code below), but this only gives me a reference to the first excel workbook opened. If the user switches to another excel workbook, I want to change my reference as well.
Second question: Is there a way to detect if the active-cell has changed. currently I have to read the active-cell continiously to see if it has changed.
Thank you very much, (in advance)
(sorry about my english)
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.Reflection;
Excel.Application oExcelApp;
try
{
oExcelApp = (Excel.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
debugLabel.Text = "Lookup ID: " + oExcelApp.get_Range("A" + oExcelApp.ActiveCell.Row.ToString(), Missing.Value).Text;
oExcelApp = null;
}
catch (Exception)
{
debugLabel.Text = "Lookup ID: Ikke Fundet";
}

Hi all!
Is there a way to capture in C# the user click on a link (in any window) in order to open a web page?
I'd like to code a simply application that make you can choose the browser in which you want to open that page...

Use a LinkButton control instead of a normal url-tagged link.
And you should ask asp.net questions in the asp.net forum.

ah, i didnt see that in the subject line!
when you select the data, u can specify the column name the user will see
like this
SELECT columnOne AS 'My First Column', columnTwo AS 'My Second Column'
FROM myTable

I guess maybe im missing something.
im able to retrieve the tables using
private void GetTables()
{
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + DataBaseFile;
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection conn = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString);
try
{
this.cboSections.Items.Clear();
conn.Open();
DataTable schemaTab =conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new Object[] {null, null, null, "TABLE"});
DataTable schemaTable =conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new Object[] {null, null, null, "TABLE"});
conn.Close();
for (int j = 0;j < schemaTable.Columns.Count; j++)
{
Console.WriteLine(schemaTable.Columns[j].ToString());
for (int i = 0; i < schemaTab.Rows.Count; i++)
{this.cboSections.Items.Add((schemaTab.Rows[i].ItemArray[2].ToString()));}
if (this.cboSections.Text.Equals(""))
this.cboSections.SelectedItem = this.cboSections.Items[0];
}
}
catch(Exception ex){Console.WriteLine(ex.Source);}
}
and im able to retrieve tthe columns im looking for using
private void GetColumns()
{
string TableName = this.cboSections.SelectedItem.ToString();
string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + DataBaseFile ;
System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection conn = new System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionString);
DataRowView drvCols = null;
DataTable dtCols = null;
DataView dvColumns = null;
// Get the list of tables that there are.
try
{
this.liFields.Items.Clear();
this.liValues.Items.Clear();
conn.Open();
DataTable schemaTab =
conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Tables, new Object[] {null, null, null, "TABLE"});
for (int i = 0; i < schemaTab.Rows.Count; i++)
{
if (this.cboSections.Text.Equals(schemaTab.Rows[i].ItemArray[2]))
{
// Get the column name and its type and sort them
// according to their position in the table.
dtCols = conn.GetOleDbSchemaTable(System.Data.OleDb.OleDbSchemaGuid.Columns,new Object[]{null,null, schemaTab.Rows[i].ItemArray[2].ToString(), null});
dvColumns = new DataView(dtCols);
dvColumns.Sort = "ORDINAL_POSITION";
// Get the column names and their types.
for (int j=0; j< dvColumns.Count; j++)
{
// Get the name of the column.
drvCols = dvColumns[j];
if ((! drvCols.Row.ItemArray[3].ToString().Equals("ID") )&& (! drvCols.Row.ItemArray[3].ToString().Equals("")))
{
this.liFields.Items.Add(drvCols.Row.ItemArray[3].ToString());
this.liValues.Items.Add(ini.IniReadValue(cboSections.Text,drvCols.Row.ItemArray[3].ToString()));
}
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex){Console.WriteLine(ex.Source);}
conn.Close();
}
but im unable to get the descriptions for those columns.

Hi all..
I am trying to write to a xml file...
The problem i am facing is....I am writing in a for loop..
Each time it is replacing with the old one..
I am trying with the code..
for (int indx = 0; indx < contact.Fields.Count; indx++)
{
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(@"D:\Temp\File.xml");
sw.WriteLine(contact.Xml);
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
}
what i wanted is change the file name with File1.xml,File2.xml,....etc
can anyone help..
thank you

Depends on whether you want to overwrite the files written from an older for loop. If this is the case, then you can just write the filename as
@"D:\Temp\File.xml"+i
If you don't want to overwrite files at all, then you'd first have to examine all filenames in the directory (via Directory.GetFiles()) and get the highest file id ever assigned, and start the counter from there.

@"D:\Temp\File" + i + ".xml" is probably more useful.

Use a GUID for a filename - they're guaranteed to be unique, and therefore aren't susceptible to stopping/restarting the program.
for (int indx = 0; indx < contact.Fields.Count; indx++)
{
string guid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Replace("-","").Replace("{","").Replace("}","");
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(string.Format("D:\\Temp\\{0}.xml", guid));
sw.WriteLine(contact.Xml);
sw.Flush();
sw.Close();
}
If you don't want to delete the hyphens or curly braces, remove the Replace() method calls.

Hello,
Is there a (relatively simple) way to know whether the compiler has inlined my method? (Actually I want to make sure that it did...)
|
|
|
|
|
No, and you will have no guarantee that a function will be inlined. Actually, it's not job of the C# compiler, but rather the JIT that does the inlining at runtime, if it decides to do so. But you have no control over it and can not rely on a function being inlined.

Well, there is one sure fire way, but that involves getting hired by Microsoft in a position on the CLR team and writing code to do this.

The first thing I'd do with this new job would be to introduce some kind of forceinline directive
