IndexOf returns wrong value if the string to search for contains characters from the Latin Extended-C range

Since the string "qwerty" does not contain a small letter l with a double bar (\u2c61) one would expect that when the code below is executed, both p and q would get the value -1. However, the second call to IndexOf does in fact return 0 instead of -1. After some further experimenting I found that this happens with several characters from Latin Extended-C (probably all of them) and that the return value is the same as the value of the second argument, i.e. the starting position for the search.

Is this a known bug? And can it be circumvented other than by writing my own search method?

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int p = "qwerty".IndexOf('\u2c61', 0);
System.Console.WriteLine(p);

int q = "qwerty".IndexOf("\u2c61", 0);
System.Console.WriteLine(q);

System.Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

Hi,

running Vista SP1 and Visual Studio 2008, targeting either .NET 3.5 SP1 or .NET 2.0 I get correct values for IndexOf(char) but your phenomena for IndexOf(string).

[ADDED]
Reflector tells me string.IndexOf is using CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.CompareInfo.IndexOf
(and it gets very messy when diving into that)
so it may go wrong in some cultures only, making it more likely to go unnoticed for a long time...

Yes, it is probably a locale problem. Today I found out that I can solve the problem by applying a Unicode normalization to the strings and then calling IndexOf() with StringComparison.Ordinal as the third argument, so that the method just checks the bytes.

problems creating setup for C# application

hi there!
I build one c# application and now I want to add a setup project, so I can have setup for my application. I am selecting all the files from the application and going through all the steps required for creating the setup, and at the end I am getting error: Specified cast is not valid. Does anyone knows how to solve this issue? Please help me, I will really appreciate. Greetings and thanks in advance, Laziale

Try and run the setup wizard first, you also don't want all the files from your app, only content and primary output.

Best way to extract an image from a stream at a position other than 0? [modified]

harold aptroot1-Mar-09 5:32

The problem is, Image.FromStream likes to reset the position to 0 (somewhere in its scary native methods) and that's exactly what I do not want, since the image in question is simply not located there. Currently I work around this by copying a big part of the stream starting at the point where the image starts to a MemoryStream, but it's taking quite a while and it seems like it shouldn't be needed. This means I have to scan for a pattern that "looks like the header of the next image" which may not always work (what if the data itself contains sometime that looks like a header but isn't?).
I'm sure there is a better way to do this.
I've tried creating a stream that does not support seeking, but Image.FromStream hates that and copies the stream over to a MemoryStream itself so it's effectively equivalent to the "manual" way. Silently ignoring seeks and assignments to Position didn't exactly work so I guess it somehow needs them - would it be ok accept seeks and positions as long as they don't move the position to before a certain value? That sounds a lot like a hack to me - I hope there is a better way.

Hi,

This idea look interesting and appears to be exactly what you want. It a wrapper around a stream that applies an offset to the requested position. http://www.pixvillage.com/blogs/devblog/archive/2005/03/08/151.aspx[^]

Where are you trying to read from? I've done something like this before, but I had a file set up like this:

[File]
 [DataType]
 [Length of data]
   [stuff]
 [DataType]
 [Length of data]
   [stuff]
 [end of file]
[/File]

So I knew how much data I needed to read out of the file, I then like you did, read the data to a memory stream and then used Image.FromStream. If you have any control over the creation of the files you're reading in, then you may want to get it changed so it's similar to what I used, or better yet has some kind of index at the top that tells you where everything is.

That's a shame, at least Alan's reply can help you out with extracting the image.

As for finding the actual images themselves, the image files should store the length of their contents in their header. So as long as you get the first image right, it should lead on to the next and so on. Removing the need to try and figure it out.

PNG files for example are pretty much an eight bit signature, then the length of the data, a 4-byte code, [the image itself], then a CRC at the very end. See here[^]

Jpegs are similar giving the length of the data inside as well as other information jpeg header[^]

It might be a bit of work to manage each type of image format you're going to come across but it will be worth it in the end right? Right? Unsure | :~

i have want to entertanin one client when second client want to connect then it will not connect i have set the tcplistner.listen(1) also, but when i connect to this i will place the second client to blocking queue.
i dont want to stop the listening socket. but i want to reduce the blocking queue.

i have tested tcplistner.listen(1) and tcpListener.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.MaxConnections, 1);

when i set SocketOptionName.MaxConnections then i get the following exception
{"An unknown, invalid, or unsupported option or level was specified in a getsockopt or setsockopt call"}
