Hey Community,
I got a problem with calling an new process.
I have a WIN-Form, this is locatet in C:\TesterV4\Launcher.exe
I call a Process in C:\TesterV4\Data\Tests\Manufacturer\device.exe
The process is called with:
ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo();
psi.FileName = opentest;
psi.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process.Start(psi);
When I use relative file paths in device.exe, (e.g. @"Data\anything.pdf") i get for example:
C:\TesterV4\Data\anything.pdf
what I need and what should happen is:
"C:\TesterV4\Data\Tests\Manufacturer\Data\anything.pdf"
is there any reason to start device.exe without any dependency from launcher.exe and its directory?
When I start device.exe directly via double click, everything is working well :/
Thank you for your help.
desperated,
Daniel

The current working directory when you run Launcher must be one level above Data for the relative path to be valid. But if you start in C:\TesterV4 then Data\Tests\Manufacturer\Data\anything.pdf will not be found because its actual location is further down the directory tree. You should use absolute paths, or preferably use the OpenFileDialog to ensure you get what the user wants.

To add to what Richard says, you shouldn;t be storing data in folders below that containing the app EXE file - normally this would be under Program Files, and all folders there are protected to reduce virus activity.
See here: Where should I store my data?[^] for some better ideas.

Unfortunately, this is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with - we get no other context for your project.
Imagine this: you go for a drive in the country, but you have a problem with the car. You call the garage, say "it broke" and turn off your phone. How long will you be waiting before the garage arrives with the right bits and tools to fix the car given they don't know what make or model it is, who you are, what happened when it all went wrong, or even where you are?
That's what you've done here. So stop typing as little as possible and try explaining things to people who have no way to access your project!
We have no idea what your code is doing, what hardware you are using to print your cards, and no way to help you at all given what you have told us.
So start by creating a "minimal app" which tries to do exactly what you want, but with two fixed strings: "FRONT" and "BACK" then show us the code for that and explain what exactly it does that you didn't expect, or doesn't do that you did. Explain what you expected, and what you got.
Help us to help you!

Thanks so much for your quick response
I actually wrote a biometric c# program on windows form
i have no issue on this but now want to use the information in the database to print id card for each record in the database. My program can successfully retrieve the record and put them in the idcard. I put the controls such as textbox and labels in panel1 (front) and panel2 for back card. My small program using printdialogue and printview shows only one panel on printer dialogue view. My problem is that i want it to print the two panels. one in the front and the other in the back. I am using fargo HD5000 Id card printer that has ability to print on both front and back of the card automatically. I am using printing feature for the first time. And I am surely not getting it right. Please help. I would have posted my screen short but I dont no how to attach it

I can't help you with that - I have no access to that printer, so I couldn't test any solution I might come up with.
I'd suggest that the best place to start is with the manufacturers - they may have an API, sample code, or at the very least tech support who should be able to at least get you started.

I don't know your printer, however I would expect you need to create a PrintDocument that holds two pages, with HasMorePages set true for the first (front) and false for the second (back) page. Assuming this is correct, you could test your code on any printer even one that doesn't do duplex.
Also, the PrintPreview class is capable of showing two pages side-by-side. It takes some experimenting as the documentation isn't perfect, but I managed to get something similar working many years ago.
More info could be available in many places, including here (needs a Microsoft account):

Printing is one of my weakest points, so I claim no expertise, but I notice that you seem to print twice. Even though your printer prints on both sides of the paper, I'm sure it starts every print job on a new sheet of paper, thus you get two sheets.
Also, how do you create printDocument1 ? I see where you assign it to the preview Document property, but what is in it?

I can't test that code, but at first glance, you cannot touch the OutputTB nor the progressBar from the Task. All method and property access on controls must be done from the startup (UI) thread.

I have an existing code base, which we catch exceptions etc.
Does anyone know if there is a way to list all the exceptions that either the code catches or raises so that I can do a review? reason for the review is the result of a pen test, which they flagged that the responses had too much details inside the exception.

I'd probably use Notepad++ to do a File Content search for "Catch" and "Throw" on my project folder

Thanks, was wondering there was a clever way to do this but sadly not.

VS can do a "Find in files" across a whole project or solution, and that can be a regex. So "\scatch\s" and "\sthrow\s" would find and list them all in the "Find" pane (which can be copied to the clipboard) or double clicked to go to each in turn)

In my experience the most interesting exceptions are the ones we do not throw or catch ourselves, but we get for free by calling some CLR class. Example: Image.FromFile() can throw an OutOfMemoryException when the file's format isn't recognized! Now how do you make sure your code base handles that properly???

Thanks Luc,
the reason I was asking is that we have a task from the security team who pen tested a platform we released. to review all the messages that are returned by the platform to mobile devices.
this main api in this platform is large and requires a lot of reading and was wondering if I could in a automated fashion return on the exceptions rather than used human eye.

Log them in FirstChanceException. Have a white / black dictionary / list as you work through them.
Quote: This event is only a notification. Handling this event does not handle the exception or affect subsequent exception handling in any way. After the event has been raised and event handlers have been invoked, the common language runtime (CLR) begins to search for a handler for the exception. FirstChanceException provides the application domain with a first chance to examine any managed exception.

Look at the points where you expose data from the backend (typically a REST service or similar). If an exception is raised, you generally speaking just return "500 Internal Server error" without any further details - and (very important) log those details on the server.
In case you use exception to trigger responses like like "404 NOT FOUND" you need to make sure they do not show stack traces or internal details as well.
This is typically done in a central place in the response handler of the API so it will automatically kick in for any exception raised - you need to write this code and test it so you trust it no matter which exception is raised from the lower levels of the code. Then you do not need to hunt your entire code base for possible exceptions - which is an impossible task anyway as some system exceptions can be raised from anywhere.
Java tried to get the code to declare all exceptions so you could track it down (checked exceptions) but it was not a great success.
UPDATE: And make sure you only catch exceptions in 2 cases:
1) When you can FIX the issue - i.e. no error will be returned to the client, and hence no information will be leaked. Example: You want to read some data from a disk cache. If the read throws an exception catch it and recalculate the data.
2) When you can throw an exception with more details. Example: You try to read the data but the exception just says "Access denied". You know what you where trying to read and which user you where running as, so catch it and throw a new exception adding these datails - keeping the original exception as inner exception.
