Use reflection to iterate through all the types in the current assembly/assemblies which inherit from System.Windows.Forms.Form

I am doing one of the Suggested Practices for the MCTS 70-536 exam prep book. The chapter 2 practice asks you to create an app that will search a drive for a particular file. So, I am trying to write a routine to search the c: drive for a file, but am having a problem with this:
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
On this instruction it churns for a bit and then throws a System.UnauthorizedAccessException, and the Message of the exception is "Access to the path 'c:\System Volume Information' is denied."
If I change it to:
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dirInfo.GetDirectories();
and recursively call the routine to search each subdirectory instead, it may find the file before the exception occurs, depending on what filename I give it. So, I cannot see how one could search a hard drive for a file using .NET.
Can anyone please help with this??
TIA

Windows is not allowing you access to "C:\System Volume Information". You'll need to find a way of searching through directories, ignoreing those which you don't have permission to access.

If I cannot even get a list of the directories, how can I iterate through them to check their accessibility? I am using a Windows XP ID that has admistration abilities. I have not even tried to play with security issues yet using IDs that have limited access.
Is there any other way to get a list of the directories in c:\ ?
Thanks.

Nobody (normally anyway) should be able to access System Volume Information since it's integral to the NTFS file system (I seem to remember).
The following (can be recursive) code works:
ConsoleColor def = Console.ForegroundColor;
foreach (string directory in Directory.GetDirectories("C:\\"))
{
Console.WriteLine(directory);
try
{
foreach (string subdirectory in Directory.GetDirectories(directory))
{
Console.WriteLine("\t{0}", subdirectory);
}
}
catch
{
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine("\tCould not iterate directory");
Console.ForegroundColor = def;
}
}
Console.ReadKey();

The GetDirectories() function returns an array of DirectoryInfo's, not strings. Besides, your code won't work either, since you have the foreach statement outside of the try block. It is on the foreach that it gets the exception. I just decided to pull the code out of the foreach statement so I could better figure out where it was getting the exception. So, I have this:
static void FindFile(DirectoryInfo dirInfo, string fileName, out FileInfo fileFound)<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);<br />
foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dirs)<br />
{<br />
if ((di.Attributes & FileAttributes.System) == 0)<br />
{<br />
FileInfo fileI = SearchDirectory(di, fileName);<br />
if (fileI != null)<br />
{<br />
fileFound = fileI;<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
catch (System.UnauthorizedAccessException ex)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine("Security EXCEPTION: {0}", ex.Message);<br />
fileFound = null;<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
catch (Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine("EXCEPTION: {0}", ex.ToString());<br />
fileFound = null;<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
fileFound = null;<br />
}
It bombs on the first instruction (GetDirectories). Thkx

Some points to note:
1) Directory.GetDirectories() returns an array of strings. Argue with the documentation & the code if you want but that's what it returns.
2) The code works just fine, I can copy and paste the results if you want but you may not understand them 
3) Of course the code fails on the first line, you're still trying to recurse the directories, why my snippet did was demonstrate (perhaps too simply) that you needed to handle the recursion yourself so that you could continue searching rather than stopping when the exception occurred.
So in summary what you'll have to do is write a recursive routine which searches through a directory (not including the sub-directories), if it finds a file return it, if it can't read a directory then skip over it. And continue all the way through the loop.

Oooooh. You are using Directory instead of DirectoryInfo!!! I see it now. Thanks. I will give it a go.
With my method I could not see how to handle that exception using the OOP design of .NET.

i ned to enter urdu text in th text box wen i use multi line textbox it displays some characters as a box i.e. dsnt identify it... where as wen i use a single line text box it displays every character correctly how can i handle this
|
|

If the characters being displayed are near the line breaks maybe it has something to do with the line break characters you are using in the text box.
Maybe the problem has something to do with the string you are using to store the string. If you are using C++ .Net you might need to qualify strings you wanted to treat as unicode:
sampleText = S"some text";
When I worked on a project using Korean text we would sometimes find that certain character combinations were shown inaccurately. We were not storing our character strings as unicode.

Get it from the toolbox, if you haven't already done so...
If you try to write that in English, I might be able to understand more than a fraction of it. - Guffa

I need to alter behavior of calling some classes,
extending it
to call some intermediate function.
for this I must create dynamic proxy
and supply some alternate handlers with calls,
are some articles or sample which do something like that ?
service calls may by interthread call to data bound objects,
or call to else app-domain of marshal by value objects,
not serializing them or some applied servicing.
thanks you

Yeah it is a WTF! OTOH you could say that this applies to any application. I've yet to use any application that does not crash unexepectedly under some circumstances!

hi all
i have an issue not resolves since last two months ;;
i wanted to plpay flas file and for this i got axfalshobject every thing goes ok for the first time when i give it the path of swf file to play but it does not go into loop ,, what if i want to play it again and again , though this object has play , stop property but none of it works,, means flahs file just plays for once ,,, any idea? or is there any other better solution , i am tired of research plz help me
thanks in advance
hello

I assume you dont have access to the fla, right?
because you can then remove the 'stop()' from the last frame.
I think there is a way to get the the _currentframe property. You have to poll the flash and when it reach the last frame you issue a play() or riwind()/play() command.
