Do you mean you want to find out whether it has been build for "x86" or "x64" or "I64" or "Any CPU"?
If you just need to distinguish between 64/32bit at runtime you can look at the size of IntPtr.

If it's built for x64, the .exe/.dll file will use PE32+.
For x86 or AnyCPU assemblies, it'll use PE32.

If you need to find the difference between AnyCPU and x86-only assemblies, you'll need to look at the 32-bit flag in the CLR Runtime Header.

You can find the documentation of the .dll/.exe file format on http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/PECOFF.mspx[^].

bool[] from value

Is there any built in method that create a boolean array from a byte or int - basically a bit array indicating whether each element (bit) is set or not?

I've easily created my own function to do this but wondered if there was already an in built method?

[Edit] Jst found the BitArray class that will take a byte[] parameter and set the bits accordingly D'Oh! | :doh:

I dont think there is the way you describe. But depending on your needs for it you could use an enum with the 'Flags' attribute. This can be set as a whole be passing it a byte or int...

[Flags]
public enum MyFlags{
Flag1,
Flag2,
Flag3,
Flag4
}

public MyFlags myFlags = 4;//set with int or byte value

this will result in Flag3 being set and the others not set... likewise, assigning a value of '6' would set both Flag2 and Flag3.

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

The BitArray class did it. It's actually a UInt16 (from an interop function) that I needed to convert.
_ChannelMask is the UInt16 and _ChannelAvailability is the Boolean[]

new BitArray(new byte[] { (byte)_ChannelMask, (byte)(_ChannelMask >> 8) })
    .CopyTo(_ChannelAvailability, 0);

Thanks for the suggestion Big Grin | :-D

create a bool field

bool keepPlaying = true; then<br />
<pre><br />
while (keepPlaying)<br />
{<br />
    pl.Clear() // This might not be exactly correct, look up how to clear the list<br />
    if (files != null)<br />
    {<br />
        if (files.Length <= index)<br />
        {<br />
            index = 0;<br />
        }<br />
        else<br />
        {<br />
            m = axWindowsMediaPlayer1.newMedia(files[index++].FullName);<br />
            pl.appendItem(m);<br />
        }<br />
<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    axWindowsMediaPlayer1.currentPlaylist = pl;<br />
}<br />
<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
then you can have a cancel button and in the <code>onclick

handler have keepPlaying = false;. Of course that will only stop when it reaches the end of the playlist, unless you also stop the player when setting the flag to false.

You are having a lot of problems getting this application working, mostly with concepts that are elementary. I would seriously suggest that you get a C# getting started book and work through it, before continuing.

Validate xml against DTD

Hi guys,

Hope you are doing well.

I have a Onix complaint XML document that I want to validate it with some Onix complaint DTD. I did coding for same in C#

XmlReaderSettings settings = null;
try
{

string xmlPath = Server.MapPath("XML/nielsen_onix.XML");

//Load XML into XmlTextReader
// reader = new XmlTextReader(xmlPath);
//Load XmlTextReader into XmlValidatingReader
settings = new XmlReaderSettings();

//Set the validation type
settings.ValidationType = ValidationType.DTD;
settings.ProhibitDtd = false;
settings.CheckCharacters = false;
//Hook up the XmlValidatingReader’s
//ValidationEventHandler to a call
//back method named ValidationCallBack
settings.ValidationEventHandler += new ValidationEventHandler(
this.ValidationCallBack);
XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlPath, settings);
//Read through the XML document by calling
//the Read() method
while (reader.Read()) { }

//Check boolean field named valid (located at top of code)
if (valid)
Response.Write("Validation is Successful!");
reader.Close();
}
catch(Exception ex) {
Response.Write(ex.Message);
}

This code runs good and show the xml file invaid while my xml file is valid when I validated it on

Could you please check what's wrong going with me?

Any help would be highly appreciable.

Thanks

monitoring whole registry

Gergely Revay23-Apr-09 23:14

23-Apr-09 23:14

Hi,

What I would like to do is to monitor the whole registry in win xp. The best would be to receive an event when a registry key has changed/created/received but in a way that I could figure out which key was it.

So far I subscribed for quite a few RegistryTreeChangeEvent to see the tree changes in every hive. But the problem with this is that in RegistryTreeChangeEvent I couldn't figure out which key changed just the hive and the rootpath. I tried to find the change in the registry but it's very time and resource consuming.

My next idea would be to register for RegistryKeyChangeEvent and RegistryValueChangeEvent for every registry key but I'm guessing it would have a huge overhead.

So if anybody knows any way to receive events when something changes in the registry or how to monitor the whole registry at all then please tell me!

And I have read some articles here which were useful in general but it didn't solve my problem:

Thanks in advance,

Geri

Hi Geri,

I think you may find something using "Windows Hooks" , you need to search for it , i am assuming that if registry value is changed a message or notification should be sent to the system , we can use "Windows Hooks" to get this message form the system's message queue (i am not not sure about the method , just try to mention a possible solution) , the above two methods u mentioned do pooling on to registry , which not good always Smile | :)

Hi,

First of all thanks for your reply! I looked for some reading on the windows hooks you mentioned, but unfortunately I haven't had much luck. The thing is that I couldn't find any hooks which would give information about the registry. Actually I found these hook types:

* WH_CALLWNDPROC and WH_CALLWNDPROCRET Hooks
* WH_CBT Hook
* WH_DEBUG Hook
* WH_FOREGROUNDIDLE Hook
* WH_GETMESSAGE Hook
* WH_JOURNALPLAYBACK Hook
* WH_JOURNALRECORD Hook
* WH_KEYBOARD_LL Hook
* WH_KEYBOARD Hook
* WH_MOUSE_LL Hook
* WH_MOUSE Hook
* WH_MSGFILTER and WH_SYSMSGFILTER Hooks
* WH_SHELL Hook

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644959(VS.85).aspx

but none of them looks useful for me. If you have any other ideas or links where I could read more then it would be very much appreciated.

cheers

'non'?

A readonly field cannot, by definition, be written. A private readonly field cannot be read too (only an instance of the class defining such field can) while (for instance) a public readonly field can be (publically!) read.
