Look at File class.

Or indeed try: System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(string path);

For your example calling System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName("c:\\gello\\txt.xtx"); will return the string "c:\\gello".

Good evening,
I have a problem in retrieving active ip addresses(with computer name) in a network, using C#. I could able to retrieve through dns entry, but it has to retrieve only if the computer is active. But my code retrieves even if the computer is off.
can someone help in this view?

DNS doesn't work that way, AFAIK. There are designated name servers which your computer will use to resolve IP addresses, so you'll get the addresses regardless of whether the PC with that IP address is alive.

You can always try connecting to the IP address (say ping) to see if the other side is really alive.

Senthil is right. DNS resolves address and names regardless of the hosts actual status. You can resolve addresses and names for machines that don't even exist, so long as there is an entry in the DNS tables.

If you want to resolve a host name, you'll have to do the DNS lookup first to get the address(es) of the host, then ping that address to see if it is alive. For an address, you'll just ping the address first to see if it's alive, then if it is, do the DNS lookup for the host names.

But, keep in mind, that not all machines will respond to a ping, even if it alive and reachable.

Open Google.

Search for "Gina DLL".

Click the MSDN-Entry.

Sorry, no more help to offer, I just looked this up myself. I just wanted to make sure we were not talking about desktop dancers/strippers.

Cheers,
Sebastian

I'm trying to capture text from a rich edit textbox. I have a section of code I took from the PInvoke website. it correctly determines the length of the text to be captured, however it doesn't actually capture any text. I'm using this code:

<br />
private static String GetWindowText(IntPtr hWnd)<br />
   {<br />
	IntPtr txtLength;<br />
	IntPtr retValue;<br />
	IntPtr zeroVal = new IntPtr(0); <br />
	//Get the length of the text<br />
	uint WM_GETTEXTLENGTH = 14;<br />
	txtLength = SendMessage(hWnd, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, zeroVal, zeroVal);<br />
        //textBox2.Text = txtLength.ToString();<br />
<br />
        //Setup the size of the sb<br />
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(txtLength.ToInt32() + 1);<br />
<br />
	//Get the text of the window/control t<br />
	uint WM_GETTEXT = 13;<br />
	retValue =  SendMessage(hWnd,WM_GETTEXT,txtLength,sb);<br />
<br />
	//Return a string<br />
	return sb.ToString(); <br />
}<br />

The retValue variable equals zero after it is updated and sb contains no characters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try checking the "Do not treat <'s as HTML tags" checkbox so we can actually read your xml...

using System.Xml;

XmlDocument c_Doc = new XmlDocument();
c_Doc.Load(...) or LoadXml(...);
XmlNodeList c_List =

c_Doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//*[nombre='???']");
... or ...
c_Doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("//item[nombre='???']");

foreach (XmlNode c_Node in c_List)
{
... Do the DumpIndex with c_Node and whatever else ...
}

I am writing this away from my computer, so I cannot check it. Use the first SelectNodes methods to include all nodes, the second if you want to include only the item nodes. Of ccource the ??? needs to be replaced with the name that you are searching for.

Anyway, you should be able to get the idea on how to use XPath (If you need to learn more, check the w3schools.com site)

I already read the article in codeproject site that shows how to get the screenshot for the whole desktop screen in http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/cscapturescreen1.asp
BUT what I'm looking for is how to get the updated screen area of desktop, since I'm sending the image data via network so I will reduce the bandwith and sent data size by getting the updated screen area....any suggestions?

Save a copy of the previous sent image. Then compare that with the new image.

you mean that I use Equals like following

Bitmap oBmp = GetDesktopScreen();
Bitmap oBmp2 = GetDesktopScreen();

if(oBmp.Equals(oBmp2))
//What to do in either cases equal or not?????

You gonna need a bit more effort than that, and thats where the fun is. But basically you will need to do a pixel by pixel compare, then find an efficient way to translate the changes into the smallest possible way. Divide and conquer is what you need to apply here.
