I have a problem with HttpRequest.QueryString.
There is an XML string that contains something like the following: <age>8+
As you probably guessed, the "+" is the problem 
I want to get that XML string from QueryString, however, the "+" appears as a " " (space), not a "+".
I have tried the following:
NameValueCollection coll = Request.QueryString;<br />
XMLstring = coll.Get("XMLstr");
XMLstring = Request.QueryString["XMLstr"]; // result: XMLstring = "<age>8 </age>"
XMLstring = Request.QueryString.Get("XMLstr"); // result: XMLstring = "<age>8 </age>"
XMLstring = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Request.QueryString["XMLstr"]); // result: XMLstring = "<age>8 </age>"
XMLstring = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Request.QueryString.Get("XMLstr")); // result: XMLstring = "<age>8 </age>"
In all of the above cases, XMLstring is a string (string XMLstring = ""; ).
I realise I can just search XMLstring and replace the space with the plus sign. I don't want to do that though. Also, this isn't my code, and I have no idea why XML is in QueryString nor if it should be there, never worked with asp or done web stuff in C#, but it has to stay like this for the moment, and I have to somehow extract that + sign.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

If this is C#, this is ASP.NET, not asp. And, we have a forum for ASP.NET questions.

You can't get the correct value if it's not encoded properly when put in the querystring.
This is how the querystring should look like to be correct:
?XMLstr=8%2b
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

I am currently updating old code that was not created by myself in hopes of fixing a minor security problem (I say minor as the configuration files that could be accessed would not give away much but we still want to cover them up). Currently files are being decrypted to a folder in the application data folder and deleted once the program ends, the problem is files may be left around if the program crashes.
My question is, is there a way to create a file (that can be pass to the unzip method as a String) that would be deleted as soon as the program exits or is terminated? The key is that I would like to pass the folder location in by a String to prevent having to update lots of code.
Thanks!

No. You could do one of three things:
1 - write a service that periodically checks the folder and checks if your app is running, if it's not, empties the folder
2 - delete the file sooner or find a way to deal with it in memory
3 - mark the folder as hidden, and hope that most users won't see it

In that case am I better to open the files in a Memory Stream??

Definately. IF the files end up in your file system, then a determined attacker is bound to find a way to get to them.

Even if you kept the files in memory, a determined attacker may be able to find them.
But of course the person would need to know they existed in the first place, and then realise that they are kept in the memory. Anyway...

Hi All,
I've just wrapped a line of code in a try{}catch{} scenario which has actually created an error in the code itself which I'm unsure how to deal with. Basically i'm creating a list of DirectX sound cards which occasionally creates an exception of there is a problem with the drivers which I wan't to catch.
try
{
Device dSound = new Device();
}
catch (System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException tie)
{
MessageBox.Show("Could not initialise Soundcard!", "DirectSound Error!", MessageBoxButton.OK, MessageBoxImage.Error);
}
WindowInteropHelper wih = new WindowInteropHelper(Application.Current.MainWindow);
dSound.SetCooperativeLevel(wih.Handle , CooperativeLevel.Priority);
the second use reference to dsound now produces an error during compile saying:
The name 'dSound' does not exist in the current context
how is the try{}catch{} moving its context? I'm a bit confused!!

Hi,
a variable is known only inside the enclosing pair of {}, so the way you wrote it dSound
does not exist outside the try block.
a better way is to have Device dSound=null; outside the try block, or
to put everything inside the try block.

Hmm ... I've tried your suggestion and all is compiling correctly now.
I think my solution is going to need some more reading and work tho. The line still creates an exception and halts the program inside the try{}catch{} ... Its throwing a Reflection exception of type TargetInvocationException should these be treated differently than a 'normal' exception?

Hi,
AFAIK a TargetInvocationException is not really different from any other Exception.
BTW: you should not just catch an exception, but also read its ToString() result to
understand what is really going wrong, then improve your code accordingly.

Actually I've setup my app to catch and report all exceptions to a system Event log at the moment so I can interrogate it.

You need to write code to read your Excel file, using Excel and te Microsoft tools for Office ( or whatever it is called ) and generate your txt file.

Open the file for write.
Set the Length to 0.
Close the file.

All,
A bit of a newbie so be nice!
I have a C# service program that is busy processing files etc
I have a C# Windows program that I want to display in a statuslabel, the current activity of the service. Basically, what file its processing etc etc.
I have looked at a number of ways of using IPC but dont seem to be getting far. First, I looked at Sockets and remoting and made some head way but got in to difficulty if the windows program was closed and then started again. It seems that re-establishing a connection is not easy (at least not for my poor programming skills!)
I then looked into pipes (named and otherwise) but had similar problems to above.
I just want the service to keep broadcasting what its up to, regardless of wether the windows program is running or not. And then if someone starts the windows program, they will get a statuslabel with the current activity of the service.
I then looked at using the clipboard but couldn't get that to work at all, which I thought was odd as it seems to be the easiest one to implement.
Any help greatfully recieved!!!!!

I don't know what you want us to do. All the things you mentioned are viable but none are as simple as write some code and it works. One needs an understanding of the logic and timing of IPC to work successfully with it. IMHO, and with my experience of doing IPC since 1995 in various methods and languages, .NET Remoting is very simple, but again that's from my perspective not yours.

Use sockets. Don't broadcast without a connection, it's wasteful.
You'll have to implement some logic and dig deeper into IPC to resolve your object lifetime problem and maybe write more robust shutdown code if you pursue that direction.
With a socket, you'll establish a connection to the service, and on a successful connect on both sides, make routines for server sending for each client and client receiving data. The shutdown code will be important in that case as well.

I have an abstract class I am writing that i want to inherit from multiple other classes. i am running into an issue, however. i have the following :
protected abstract List<> GetList();
I am trying, if possible to make it that the classes that inherit this one can set the type for the list. so in class 1 it would be
public override List<string> GetList()
class 2
public override List<int> GetList()
clss 3
public override List<float> GetList()
Is this possible? what do i use in tthe inherited list<> object?

I have another one for you if you are interested. Same abstract class, i have a Get() method. Similar problem, only rather than returning a List<> object, it is for individual objects, so class one would be public override int Get(), class 2 public override string Get(), etc.
