Downloading .MP3 file

Hi,

I'm trying to download a MP3 off the internet programatically. Using the method below, my MP3 player recognizes the ID3 tag, however it won't play. Anyone know how to properly download a MP3 file that will play?

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(WebRequest.Create(strURL).GetResponse().GetResponseStream());
FileInfo     fi = new FileInfo(@"c:\news.mp3");
BinaryWriter bw = new BinaryWriter(fi.OpenWrite());

while (sr.Peek() != -1)
{
    btMP3 = (byte) sr.Read( );
    bw.Write(btMP3);
}

bw.Close();

Thank you,

Glenn

Hi,

there is a WebClient.DownloadFile() method that downloads a file much easier and more efficient than your code would.

BTW: what would happen when for some reason the data isn't arriving in time so sr.Peek() can't see the next byte?

And what everybody isn't telling you is that Access is a FILE BASED, desktop database. The only way to get at that database, directly, is to expose your server's file share directly to the Internet. This is about the dumbest thing you can do. Your server will be a smoldering pile of scrap in less than 24 hours.

To insultate the server as much as possible so the idiot on the web won't destroy your server, you need to expose the methods that your chat app needs in a web service and have it do all the database work needed.

Hi all,

I am making use of Data block of the Enterprise Library 4.1, the problem is that each time I rebuild my application, Visual Studio overwrites the config file.
The application cannot function without these settings. How can I avoid this annoying issue?
The configuration line in question:

configSections
section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data....
configSections
dataConfiguration defaultDatabase="OraConnectionStr"

Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,

How to access the base registery from a thread?

Open your "Control Panel", and look for the "Administrative Tools". This has an applet called "Services". Find your service in the list (should be there if it's properly installed) and double-click on it. Go to the tabpage called "Log On".

Here you can specify the account that the service should run under, and whether or not it's allowed to interact with the desktop (for, say, displaying a notification icon)

Hope this helps Smile | :)

My service runs under the "LocalSystem" accont, and I follow the quoted instructions (check the flag to give the permission to interact with the desktop ), but Regrettably the service could not write into the registery.

I found it !

Simply I wanted to wrote into "H_Key_Current_user" at it was impossible because the service was running under the "LocalSystem" account (not a "user" account) therefore I changed the location into "H_Key_Local_Machine" and it works very well

Thank you to all who wanted to help me Wink | ;)

String to DateTime

Hello forum....
First of all I wanna thank you for your kind solutions for my problems.
I want to convert a string in DateTime format. The string is build in a C++ program using following code:

time_t rawtime;
struct tm * timeinfo;
time ( &rawtime );
timeinfo = localtime ( &rawtime );
char* str = asctime (timeinfo);
WriteFile(hLog,str, lstrlen(str), &dwDummy, NULL);

So as an output I find the following string
Tue May 26 17:48:53 2009
in a specified fie.

Now I want to read this file in a C# program. Here while reading the file how can I know that a particular line is a time stamp.

I want to convert Tue May 26 17:48:53 2009 again into DataTime format.
I'll be thankful for any kind help.

Thanks ....
Vishal Moharikar.

How on earth does that help the OP?
He is not looking for a match, he wants to convert the string to a DateTime structure.

Sometime, its better to read the complete message and not giving a conclusion based on the last line.
