Hello david,
Thank you for your reply. I am also wroking on a HTTP Sniffer which and after I create a socket using the Socket class as following:
mySocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Raw, ProtocolType.IP);
After I receive the packets, I try to analyze it by first placing the packet in memory.
The packets are sorted based on thier ProtocalType into TCP, UDP and I am able to get information such as Version, HeaderLength, TotalLength, and so on for both the protocals.
My question is where should I look to get the URL address of the HTTP requests? If I am not mistaken the information should be available in HTTP Header rather than IP Header, TCP Header, or UDP Header!
Am I on the right track or I am way off and need to re-think this? Any information on this, is grealy appriciated Dave. As always, thank you so much for your help and have a wonderful day.

Wow. You've gone from simply using a WebBrowser control to writing your own sniffer in one post.

None of the headers will contain this. It'll be in the TCP packet data. You may have to string multiple packets together to get the entire request URL.

No, I started the work on BHO and then when I couldn't get the HTTP request moved to HTTP Sniffer. Then I heard from someone that I should be able to capture the HTTP requests using the BHO and that is why I thought to come and ask since when I looked for information about that, I could not find any. I wish I was that clever, mate! 
The HTTP sniffer that I managed to put together is based on many articles that I found online such as http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/leonidmolochniy/SimpleSnifferInCS11222005232804PM/SimpleSnifferInCS.aspx[^]
Regarding what you said about URL address in TCP. If each packet doesn't hold all the information the how do they know where to start and where to end regarding the connection and file transformation?
Thank you,
Khoramdin

TCP is the transport protocol. It doesn't have anything to do with actually making the request. All it does is make sure that the "request message" makes it to the destination IP. If the message is too big for a single packet, the message is broken up into multiple packets until the entire message is sent. It's up to the receiving side to rebuild the message using all of the packets involved in it. TCP makes every attempt to get the entire message to the destination and get the packets reassembled in the correct order.
HTTP is the messaging protocol. This is what is making the requests and processing the returned data. It doesn't care that TCP is carrying the message. If you were so inclined, you could transport the request and response messages on SneakerNet and floppies if you built the correct drivers for it on each end of the connection.

By interpreting the data in each TCP packet. You have to have an in-depth knowledge of HTTP to do this.

I am having a problem with a timer in my program. I am sure I am missing serveral things that someone else will see easly.
this is a short example of my code.
private void button_click_1(object sender, eventargs e)<br />
{<br />
starttimer();<br />
Dothewhile();<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void starttimer()<br />
{<br />
timer1.start();<br />
timer1.interval = 1000;<br />
}<br />
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("hello");<br />
}<br />
public void Dothewhile()<br />
{<br />
while (Run == true)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
I am assuming the while statment is over taking the timer event and i just cant see when the timer hits but dont know for sure because i am stupid. But i would like to have some input on the ideal why the timer is never seen unless i turn the while statement off.
thanks danzar

You are using a System.Windows.Forms timer, which ALWAYS runs on the main GUI thread. Therefore, your timer1_Tick method is waiting for the main thread to become available, which only happens when you exit the while loop. If you want to receive the Tick event in a separate thread (which you indicate is the desire from your post), then use either System.Timers.Timer or System.Threading.Timer, or start your method DoTheWhile in a new thread, which will free your main GUI thread for the timer.

#1 Don't make assumptions.
#2 Don't make up terminology in text based communications ( over taking the timer ) because your readers won't know what you are talking about.

My poor choice of words, was from the lack of not knowing the correct terminolgy for the issuse I was having. I know now that I was wrong in my description of the issuse I was having. Sorry again for the mistake but was the result of learning.

I thought that $ sign is supposed to indicate the end of a match. But I have seen patterns like (?<firstname>.*$) in some regular expressions samples. What could it mean in such a pattern?
Also I read in a book that the pattern (?<1>a)(?<1>\1b)* matches aababb with the capturing pattern (a)(ab)(abb).
Wasn't it better to use <2> for the second group? Why do we have two (?<1>) and why is there a back reference right after <1>? I mean \1.
Can someone please describe these regex samples? And please if this is not the right forum to ask this type of questions, let me know.

The dollar sign in your first example IS the last character in the pattern (it just happens to be in parenthases). The other use of $ is in replacement patterns. I'm not sure what happens if $ appears prior to the end of a regex pattern, but it either matches nothing, matches newline character, or matches $ character.
I don't have any info for you on the second pattern. The place I usually go to find Regex info is by navigating to "ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDN.v80/MS.VisualStudio.v80.en/dv_fxfund/html/930653a6-95d2-4697-9d5a-52d11bb6fd4c.htm" in the Visual Studio Help->Search window.

First off, this[^] page is a great reference.
As for you questions, the $ is described under the "Atomic Zero-Width Assertions" section as "Specifies that the match must occur at the end of the string, before \n at the end of the string, or at the end of the line". Whether it matches at the end of the string or before a newline is based on the RegexOptions[^]. MSDN decribes the Multiline option as "Changes the meaning of ^ and $ so they match at the beginning and end, respectively, of any line, and not just the beginning and end of the entire string.".
If you need to match a literal $ then you need to preceed it with a backslash (\) or include it in a character class (e.g. [$]).
Technically, (?.*$) is not valid. You may have meant (?:.*$), which is a non-capturing grouping construct (the (? ) part). See the "Grouping Constructs" from the link above. Basically, this tells the regex engine that you do not want to capture the characters matched by the .*$ part into a separate group. They will still be included in the overall match though.
For your second question, this is a form of recursion really. Hopefully, this break down will explain it:
(the | character indicates the current position of the regex engine)
1. |aababb
The (?<1>a) portion will match "a" from the input and save it in a group called "1".
2. a|ababb
The (?<1>\1b) portion is really (?<1>ab) at this point because group "1" has the value "a", so it will match "ab" from the input and overwrite the value in group "1" with "ab".
3. aab|abb
Since the (?<1>\1b) has the *, which means zero or more matches, then we perform this portion again. The (?<1>\1b) portion is really (?<1>abb) at this point because group "1" has the value "ab", so it will match "abb" from the input and overwrite the value in group "1" with "abb".
4. aababb|
We are at the end of our string so we are done. Now the full string matched would be "aababb". The value of the group "1" would be "abb", eventhough it previously held the values "a" and "ab".
If we had used <2> in the second construct, then step 1 would work the same, but step 2 and beyond would work like this:
2 (alt). a|ababb
The (?<2>\1b) portion is really (?<2>ab) at this point because group "1" has the value "a", so it will match "ab" from the input and save the value in a group called "2".
3 (alt). aab|abb
Since the (?<2>\1b) has the *, which means zero or more matches, then we perform this portion again. The (?<2>\1b) portion is really (?<2>ab) at this point because group "1" has the value "a", so it will match "ab" from the input and overwrite the value in group "2" with "ab".
4 (alt). aabab|b
At this point we can't match any more characters so we are done. Now the full string matched would be "aabab" (one less char than above). The value of the group "1" would be "a" and the value of the group "2" would be "ab".
Take care,
Tom

Is there some reason you are not using data binding?

Hmm, interesting error message. Not seen that one before  .

Does the data source you are binding to contain a field called 'GenID'?

the situation is that i have a table Employee info having attributes

the gender attribute is bieng filled by another table having 2 attribuites GenID and gender
i.e GenID is a foriegn key in the Employee info table
now when filling the table from a winform i loaded the data in the combo box of gender in form load event
but the value member is giving error bcoz i have to select the field from gender and must be saved in the Employee info table

Hello everyone.
I'm still in the process of learning C# (but not programming) so bear with me if this is something really trivial and a "duh" question 
How can I pass variables to a command button? For example, I'm working on an inventory/task system for work. I look up a laptop that has an asset tag of 740 for example, and on that Windows form I have a button that allows me to look up all tasks associated with that asset tag. My SQL query would be like "select * from tasks where asset_tag = '740'" but I don't know how to pass that SQL query the "740" piece. Hopefully this all makes sense and I haven't sounded like an idiot
Thanks guys!
Chip

The asset tag value can be from a textbox or a dropdownlist, where a user can enter or choose a value, so what you need to do is to form the query:
"select * from tasks where asset_tag = '" + txtAssetTag.Text + "'"
where txtAssetTag is the said textbox.
By the way you should use parameterized query to avoid injection attack.
