Files stored on This computer
-----------------------------

Hard Disk drives

(Hard disk drives) like title in my List view

Regex / String formatting question

Hi All,

Question regarding splitting a string:

Let's say I have the following format:

[a-zA-Z]*-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][A-Z]

or in short form, the split would be:
<s1>-<s2>-<s3><s4><s5>

E.g,
ABC-2-725-XY15A
s1 = ABC-2
s2 = 725
s3 = XY
s4 = 15
s5 = A

Note about s1,
it starts with an alpha character and is followed by any string...
there can be dashes and numbers, but there will never be "-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-" sequence in s1 so you'd know where s2 begins

Does anyone have an idea on how to split in such manner?

Thanks,
-Julian

Thanks,

There's another one I was using,
http://www.regular-expressions.info/dotnet.html[^]

I kept trying to get Regex.Split to work for me when I simply needed go through the matched expressions using Match as Bitwise suggested.

string s = @"ABC-2-725-XY15A";<br />
Match m = Regex.Match(s, @"(.+?)-(\d\d\d)-(\w\w)(\d\d)(\w)");<br />
if (m.Success) <br />
    for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)    <br />
        Console.WriteLine("s{0} = {1}", i, m.Groups[i].Value);

I didn't realize one could traverse the matched expression. I tried to do it with Regex.Split.

foreign key

When I use the Fill method of a DataAdapter it creates the table structure in my dataset. It also brings the PrimaryKey information about that table to the dataset. My question is: is there anyway to bring the "foreign key" information about the table columns ? How can I know which columns are foreign keys and to which table they refer ?

thanks

See the DataRelation class in the .NET BCL. It's pretty straight-forward and easy to make a typed DataSet by right-clicking on your project (or a folder under your project, which helps set the default namespace for your source files you add to them) and adding a new type, then choose DataSet. You can even drag and drop tables, views, and stored procedures from the server explorer to create elements (the DataSet designer is, after all, just the XML schema designer) that represent tables, while their elements represent fields. You can create primary keys and draw relationships. When you save this, it serializes using the CodeDomSerializer so that you have source code.

When you use it, instead of using DataSet ds = new DataSet();, for example, you would use MyDataSet ds = new MyDataSet();. That already has typed table and fiend names, as well as relationships established. Note, however, that the DataAdapter derivatives - or rather the command builders like SqlCommandBuilder - don't support auto-generation of complex statements required for updating a data source with changes.

All this is programmatic changes you can do manually, as well. It's most important to read the documentation, but you might also makes a typed DataSet in this manner and examine the source code (click "Project->Show Hidden Files" in the menu to see the source file itself).

Hello,

I don't know exactly how to encode with DivX especially. This[^] shows how to encode a *.mpeg to a *.wmv... If you can find how to encode to DivX, it should be the same kind of work. D'Oh! | :doh:

The capture class encodes a video stream in an *.avi file. DivX is an *.avi file to but encoded with a different codec (You will not gain much quality/space using AVI/DIVX instead of just AVI).
There are some softwares that can create *.avi files with DivX codecs. You can try this one[^] out.

With the capture class, you are already encoding a video stream to an *.avi file. It is exactly the same process if you encode it with divX. You should be able to do this

I hope this helps!

Hallo,

if I want to close a network connection, I call the "Close" method in the class "Socket". But how can I close a certain connection (TcpChannel) in .Net Remoting (especially on client side)

My second question is, how it is possible to delete a remote object (again on client side)

Thanks for your help,
Björn

You can use the TcpChannel.StopListening() method. Any published MarshalByRefObjects can be disconnected via a call to RemotingServices.Disconnect(marshalByRefObj);

Dear, Sir and Madam.

To filter "bad word" I have many problems.
Is there anyone know how to call function from Windows System to stem words and separate words.

I found that when double click textbox in window a word in string will auto selected And when press Ctrl+ArrowRight on textbox the cursor change position word by word.

If can call "word cutting" function from Windows system, It will expedient

Sorry for bad English.

Thank You.

Note: in some language a sentence have many words contigugous (no space separate between words like English)

There is no "word cutting" function in the Windows API. Are you talking about cutting a word out of a text string? This you have to code yourself...

I had already found Microsft's FxCop,Parasoft's .Test,
Compuware's Devpartner,..
Can u suggest which one is the best?

Waiting for ur reply

I'd say Microsoft's FxCop -- it's what Microsoft themselves use for their internal testing including development of Visual Studio and the .NET base class library. It quickly evolves (in fact, you can download a version for testing the .NET 2.0 beta code right now), it's free, and there's an SDK available if you want to write your own rules.

The user can clcik a button and directly be signed into his inbox. how do i do this. I have seen this functionality in Trillian and many other messnger clients. Apparently as far as i know, the application passes a few parameters to the hotmail site and - voila!

YOU don't use it. It's used by the name resolvers (DNS, WINS) to resolve names to IP addresses.

in developing a site in C# and i wanted to know how is URl cloaking done. I mean like: no matter what link i navigate to, it still shows kme the original URL in the address bar like (www.XXX.com) instead of showing the entire link. How can this be acheived.

Just put your pages inside a frameset, or IFrame.
May I add that this is horrible, bookmarks don't work, and navigation sucks. I avoid this kind of site like the plague.

Yes, even I am blogging now!
