While no one here is going to help you write your code. Here's the approach to take.

Load the dropdown with options.

Add event handler for dropdown with code to select data based on the selectedItem or selectedIndex property of the dropdown.

Hold the returned data in a dataset or likewise, then bind the dataset to a datagridview or display the results in some other fashion as needed.

From some google results, check to make sure your namespace declaration is in lowercase.

Example: namespace myproject
Bad Example: Namespace myproject

Remember that C# is case-sensitive.

Why do you need an application to do that? What exactly are you copying and to what destination? e.g. another computer in your network, another computer over the internet .. etc

Thanks for the reply.
We need to transfer 100gb files inside a "network" which is using 1GB network.It could be databases or files thst we are trying to transfer.
It could be between computers or servers inside teh same network.

Expecting your response.

I'm sorry I still don't understand the problem, you want to copy files from one computer to another you just copy them to a shared folder on the other computer or you could also use FTP ..

So for this purpose i am looking for an application that "i am ready to buy" if its necessary that will help me to transfer 100 GB single files over a 1GB network.

I tried in Google and i am at a dead end.

Hi!
The application that "you are ready to buy" is called explorer.exe and part of each windows installation.
Or you can click start>run, enter cmd and then use the copy command to copy files.

It doesn't matter how large the files are or how fast your network is in principle, copying works exactly the same...

Instalation pakage keep a registry key.The key contain the information where the file have place.

Make a patch file with a cab or zip file.

make a small application with a patch button.

if u click the button copy the file and paste to the destination location

the location read from the registery

It is a same one.

class design

Hi guys, I am trying to implement a design for my classes. So far everything seems to be working the way they are structured. However, there are a few problems:
a) How can I build a relationship between the Rectangle(store data) and RectangleUser(Control) classes
b) As you have noticed, the Rectangle class object is assigned to the PropertyGrid Control and its properties will be exposed to the PropertyGrid. Lets say, if i change the X property through the PropertyGrid control the actual RectangleControl object Location which is shown on the form1 wouldn't be changed becuase there is no relationship.

The way I am thinking is to have an object that would would listen if the data is changed in accordance to that it will change the RectangleControl class values. Is there any better way to do than this.
Form1.cs
{
PropertyGrid pg = new PropertyGrid();
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(0,0,200,200);
RectangleControl rc = new RectangleControl(r);
Form1.Controls.Add(rc);

pg.SelectedObject=r;
}
Shape
{
int _X;
int _Y;
int _Width;
int _Height;

public Shape(int x, int y, int width, int height)
{
this._X=x;
this._Y=y;
this._Width=width;
this._Height=height;
}

}

Rectangle:Shape
{
public Rectangle(int x, int y, int width, int height)
{
this._X=x;
this._Y=y;
this._Width=width;
this._Height=height;
}
}

ShapeControl:UserControl
{
}

RectangleControl:ShapeControl
{
public RectangleControl(Rectangle r)
{
this.Location = new Point(r._X,r._Y);
this.Width = r._Width;
this.Height = r._Height;
}

}

From what I can understand from your code, you have defined or are trying to define 3 classes (Shape, Rectangle, and RectangleControl).

All of these provide one constructor. But there is no implementation of any of these. In addition, I feel your over using the 'this' object.

I'd re-evaluate what your trying to accomplish and recode accordingly. If you are simply trying to change the width/height of your RectangleControl control, expose those properties and simply change the values.

<br />
RectangleControl rc = new RectangleControl(r);<br />
rc.width = 200;<br />
rc.height = 200;<br />

How to validate the inputs

How can I alter this code

<br />
using System;<br />
<br />
public class Analysis<br />
{<br />
   public void ProcessExamResults()<br />
   {<br />
      // initializing variables in declarations<br />
      int passes = 0; // number of passes<br />
      int failures = 0; // number of failures<br />
      int studentCounter = 1; // student counter<br />
      int result; // one exam result from user<br />
<br />
      // process 10 students using counter-controlled repetition<br />
      while ( studentCounter <= 10 )<br />
      {<br />
         // prompt user for input and obtain value from user<br />
         Console.Write( "Enter result (1 = pass, 2 = fail): " );<br />
         result = Convert.ToInt32( Console.ReadLine() );<br />
<br />
         // if...else nested in while <br />
         if ( result == 1 ) // if result 1,<br />
            passes = passes + 1; // increment passes           <br />
         else // else result is not 1, so<br />
            failures = failures + 1; // increment failures<br />
<br />
         // increment studentCounter so loop eventually terminates<br />
         studentCounter = studentCounter + 1;<br />
      } // end while<br />
<br />
      // termination phase; prepare and display results<br />
      Console.WriteLine( "Passed: {0}\nFailed: {1}", passes, failures );<br />
<br />
      // determine whether more than 8 students passed<br />
      if ( passes > 8 )<br />
         Console.WriteLine( "Raise Tuition" );<br />
   } // end method ProcessExamResults<br />
} // end class Analysis<br />

so that it can validate its inputs.I want the app to keep looping until the user enters a correct value.
Thnx!

Firstly, this looks surprisingly like a homework question.
Secondly, this is very simple.
Thirdly, it would help if you specified what valid inputs are (I know I could read them from the code but I'm lazy).

Write a static function that checks for a valid input entry. Then for each entry, pass it through the function

Example function

public static bool IsValidEntry(int entry)
{
switch(entry)
{
case 1:
return false;
break;
case 2:
return true;
break;
default:
return false;
}
}

Effective Security Access Check

Hi All,

I want to check in advance on Write permission to a Directory for a sanity check. It is similar to File.Exist() and Directory.Exist().

I haven't been able to get the keywords correct to find the function. So far, I seem to be hitting on CAS (a miserable embodiment for System Administrators).

Can anyone point me in the proper direction?

Here's what I have hacked so far. There are two problems.

1) I can't seem to work with GetAccessRule()
2) I don't know how to make the compare, even though I believe I have all the players assembled.

Jeff

DirectoryInfo information = new DirectoryInfo(directory);
DirectorySecurity security = information.GetAccessControl();

WindowsIdentity user = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
SecurityIdentifier sid = user.User;

// Passing sid below will not compile
AuthorizationRuleCollection rules =
security.GetAccessRules(false, true, /*???*/);

// How is the check performed?
if( HasWriteAccess( rules ) )

Hi Martin,

martin_hughes wrote:

I ran across that earlier. His implementation is flawed. He does not consider a User Account ACE versus a Group ACE.

This means if an object has a DACL with a User Allow _and_ a Group Deny, the code will incorrectly return the object is not accessible.

Hi Jeff,

I've been fiddling a bit - I haven't come up with a total solution (I am a bit hung over), but hopefully it's enough to give you a head start on the syntax etc... On with the code!

static void UserRights()
{
    DirectorySecurity ds = Directory.GetAccessControl(@"C:\test");
    WindowsIdentity user = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

    bool IsInGroupWithWriteAcces = false;
    //This one gets all the groups that a user is in
    IdentityReferenceCollection irc = user.Groups;

    //Loop through all the groups the user is in...
    for (int i = 0; i < irc.Count; i++)
    {

        //Loop through all the access rules in the DirectorySecurity
        foreach (AccessRule ar in ds.GetAccessRules(true, true,
            typeof(System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier)))
        {
            //Cast the AccessRule into a FileSystemAccessRule to make use of it
            FileSystemAccessRule fs = (FileSystemAccessRule)ar;

            //Now test to see if the current group has AccesControlType.Allow
            //and if the FileSystemRights are FileSystemRights.Write
            //I do a logical AND here:
            //      (fs.FileSystemRights & FileSystemRights.Write) == FileSystemRights.Write)
            //because fs.FileSystemRights returns all the
            //FileSystemRights in one go and performing the AND let's us just get
            //the Write that we're interested in.
            if ((fs.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Allow
                && (fs.FileSystemRights & FileSystemRights.Write) == FileSystemRights.Write) &&
                fs.IdentityReference == irc[i])
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Yay, we're in a group with Write Access!");
                //Since we're in a group with Write access here, we could return true...
                //IsInGroupWithWriteAcces = true;
                //return IsInGroupWithWriteAcces;
            }
            else
            {
                //this group didn't contain write access
                Console.WriteLine("Whoops!");
            }

        }
    }
    return IsInGroupWithWriteAcces;
}

And to check if a User Account has permissions, all you need do is remove the for loop and simply test against the user.User SID.

static void UserRights2()
  {
      DirectorySecurity ds = Directory.GetAccessControl(@"C:\test");
      WindowsIdentity user = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();

      bool IsInGroupWithWriteAcces = false;

          //Loop through all the access rules in the DirectorySecurity
          foreach (AccessRule ar in ds.GetAccessRules(true, true,
              typeof(System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier)))
          {
              //Cast the AccessRule into a FileSystemAccessRule to make use of it
              FileSystemAccessRule fs = (FileSystemAccessRule)ar;

              //Now test to see if the current group has AccesControlType.Allow
              //and if the FileSystemRights are FileSystemRights.Write
              //I do a logical AND here:
              //      (fs.FileSystemRights &amp;amp; FileSystemRights.Write) == FileSystemRights.Write)
              //because fs.FileSystemRights returns all the
              //FileSystemRights in one go and performing the AND let's us just get
              //the Write that we're interested in.
              if ((fs.AccessControlType == AccessControlType.Allow
                  && (fs.FileSystemRights & FileSystemRights.Write) == FileSystemRights.Write) &&
                  fs.IdentityReference == user.User)
              {
                  Console.WriteLine("Yay, we're a User with Write Access!");
                  //Since we're in a group with Write access here, we could return true...
                  //IsInGroupWithWriteAcces = true;
                  //return IsInGroupWithWriteAcces;
              }
              else
              {
                  //Were not a User with write access.
                  Console.WriteLine("Whoops!");

          }
