Re: C# Web project Crystal Reports

Ok I got it,
in this part:

string reportPath=Request.PhysicalApplicationPath + "Reports\\" + name );

You have to replace that with the variable where you have the .rpt file name, I suppose one value from the grid...

Si the result should be something like:

C:\Inetput\wwwroot\myapp\reports\report1.rpt

Where Report1.rpt is the value from your variable.

Yes that is what I am trying to do.
the variable name comes form the directory info. class. I then want to pass the 'name' of the file precededed by the folder 'reports'. So just like you mentioned it would dynamically create the report path. Hmph. Nothing is ever easy when your new.

Don't know about indexed colour as I've never had the necessity to do it before and google might help Wink | ;)

but this:

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(x,y);
            bmp.Save("c:\\bmp", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Hi,

I don't think .NET supports indexed colors for PNG.

This MSDN page[^] says PNG needs 0 bytes for parameters, so there is nothing to choose from.

For anyone else who wants to achieve this, the FreeImage project provides support for a large number of image codecs and colour modes and has bindings for C#. It is what I used to create a PNG8 file.

Change DataType in database

andymo220-Apr-09 6:50

Confused | :confused:

I'm hoping someone can help me here ...

I have a project that is working well connecting to an Access database file, making queries etc. I discovered that one of the fields in the database is of the wrong type (it is Int32, i want it Text).
- I changed the field type in the database (via Designer View in Access)
- I changed the field type in DataSet in my project (DatabaseDataSet.xsd)
- I changed the data type in the .Add routine.

However, when I compile, the tableadapter .Update command complains about not being able to convert String to Int32. I can't find what else needs to be changed!

Any ideas please ?

Andy

God I hate MS adapters. Destroy the adapter and rebuild it on the changed table.

The problem with the adapters is the dev who knows nothing else has no idea how they work and therefore when something goes wrong gets stuck with nowhere to go. Recommendation - do some research into a decent Data Access Layer (DAL) there are lots of samples out there and if you are serious about being a dev you need to be able to build one! Sorry rant over.

Error - Attempted to read or write protected memory

Kevin Marois20-Apr-09 6:32

20-Apr-09 6:32

I had this code working yesterday. Today I get "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

Here's the code. It errors on the oSheet.SaveAs line:

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application oXL;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook oWB;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet oSheet;

oXL = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();
oWB = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Workbook)(oXL.Workbooks.Add(Missing.Value));
oSheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Worksheet)oWB.ActiveSheet;

Reader = new StreamReader(ExportParams.sSourceFileName);

iRow = 0;
sSourceRow = Reader.ReadLine();

while (sSourceRow != null)
{
    iRow++;
    string[] aWords = sSourceRow.Split(',');

    oSheet.Cells[iRow, 1] = aWords[0];
    oSheet.Cells[iRow, 2] = aWords[1];
    oSheet.Cells[iRow, 3] = aWords[2];

    sSourceRow = Reader.ReadLine();
}

Reader.Close();

if (File.Exists(ExportParams.sResultFileName))
{
    File.Delete(ExportParams.sResultFileName);
}

oSheet.SaveAs(ExportParams.sResultFileName,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing,
        Type.Missing);

oXL.Quit();

Everything makes sense in someone's mind

I suppose you could P/Invoke to GlobalMemoryStatus[^], for which you will need a MEMORYSTATUS[^]

There could be a better way though..

Hi,

use the Ex versions, otherwise you will be in trouble when more than 2GB is present:

[DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern void GlobalMemoryStatusEx(ref MEMORYSTATUSEX ms);	

public struct MEMORYSTATUSEX {
	/// <summary></summary>
	public int Length;			// DWORD
	/// <summary></summary>
	public int MemoryLoad;			// DWORD
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long TotalPhys;			// DWORDLONG
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long AvailPhys;			// DWORDLONG
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long TotalPageFile;		// DWORDLONG
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long AvailPageFile;		// DWORDLONG
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long TotalVirtual;		// DWORDLONG
	/// <summary></summary>
	public long AvailVirtual;		// DWORDLONG

}

Issue with the GzipStream Class

ramz_g20-Apr-09 5:39

20-Apr-09 5:39

Hi,

I am trying to include a compression mechanism in my application. I just went through the one that microsoft provides : GZipStream class... I used the sample code given in msdn and tried to compress files... It worked well for text and document files... But when i tried to compress an exe file, say 100mb size, the compressed file that i get is of size more than 130mb... Can anyone please tell me whether this is a problem with the GZipStream Class?

Thanks in advance,
ramz_g

Re: Issue with the GzipStream Class

Rolando CC20-Apr-09 11:27

Hi,

First: Is more easy to compress text files than .exe,
Second: From msdn: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.gzipstream.aspx[^]

The compression functionality in DeflateStream and GZipStream is exposed as a stream. Data is read in on a byte-by-byte basis, so it is not possible to perform multiple passes to determine the best method for compressing entire files or large blocks of data. The DeflateStream and GZipStream classes are best used on uncompressed sources of data. If the source data is already compressed, using these classes may actually increase the size of the stream.

So I think in some way maybe the .exe is already compressed.

Hi Rolcr,

Thanks for the reply. And yes, I could understand that using those classes to compress files that are already compressed may increase the size. But there is something interesting. I downloaded the gzip.exe from GNU's website and used it to compress a few files. I could find that the size of an exe file reduced by about 5mb... Whereas, using the above classes, the size of the same file increased by more than 30mb. Also, both (gzip.exe and the GZipStream class) returned similar results when applied to .txt and .doc files. Please give me your opinion on this.

Thanks,
ramz_g

Yeah, I have listen that in other webs, and seems to be a problem with the GZipStream class and files that had been already compressed, check this:
