Assuming you have the relevant permisions, you can use EventLog.Delete to delete a particular log. Here's how I figured it out (who knows, this thought process may help you):

First of all, I thought to myself - this is an operation on the EventLog. Now, I know that there is an EventLog class, but if I hadn't known this the name would have seemed a logical place to start.
Then I thought - perhaps it has a DeleteLog entry.
I typed EventLog.DeleteLog into Google, and it suggested that it should actually be EventLog.Delete.
From there, I hopped over to the docs just to check that it was the item I thought it was - job done.

C# How to HttpWebRequest through chain/cascade of proxy servers

Hello,

I can't seem to find a solution that would allow me to connect through a chain of proxies using HttpWebRequest object. HttpWebRequest class does have a Proxy property but it only allows you to assign a single Proxy hop and this works as expected. What I need though is to create a connection throgh 3 proxy servers and I would like to know if this is possible with HttpWebRequest. If not I would like to know if there is any other way of doing this in .NET 3.5, maybe an open source library, or an example, anything that would help. If even this does not exist I would like to know if there are any open source 3rd party tools that would allow me to do this.

Thank you for your answers in advance

Yours sincerely,
Andrea

You've asked this before. The answer is, make the image REALLY small, and store it in a compressed format. greyscale jpeg is probably a good choice.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback

Dear Friends,

I stuck at a point, to download a file from HTTPS site.

I have a secured web site https/www.mySite.com/.
I havent any idea which Certificate that server is using.
I just want to down load a file from that site.

For that I have written the code:

    private static bool ValidateRemoteCertificate(<br />
         object sender,<br />
         X509Certificate certificate,<br />
         X509Chain chain,<br />
         SslPolicyErrors policyErrors<br />
     )<br />
        {<br />
                   <br />
            if (policyErrors == SslPolicyErrors.None)<br />
               return true;<br />
            else<br />
               return false;<br />
<br />
<br />
));<br />
<br />
     //       // Do not allow this client to communicate with unauthenticated servers.<br />
     //       return false;<br />
     //   }<br />

but it always shows the error "System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateNameMismatch"

and if i forcefully return true it works fine...
what is proper solution??????

thnaks in advance

If you are happy to disable the checking of the certificate (not recommended) then use something like

                    ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(
delegate
 {
   return true;
 });

If you are using a WebClient for instance, it should go just before you do the call that will connect (i.e. client.UploadFile(), client.UploadValues(), etc)

It would be helpful if you posted the error generated!

This assumes there are only 4 field in the table.

cmd.CommandText = "insert into timemgmt values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + label19.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "')";

If there are more you need

cmd.CommandText = "insert into timemgmt (field1, field2, field3, field4) values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + label19.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "')";

ok tell me how i search record in oracle database if record find record not save else save record

i code this for search record

cmd.CommandText = "Select empid , sysdte from timemgmt where empid = '"+textBox1.Text+"' and sysdte ='"+label19.Text+"'";

then i create condition like this

while (odr.Read())
{
if (textBox1.Text == (odr["empid"].ToString()) && label19.Text == (odr["sysdte"]).ToString())
{
MessageBox.Show("You Already IN this ID Today");
}
else
{
cmd.CommandText = "insert into timemgmt values(empid, sysdte, intime, outtime)('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + label19.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

your search query is ok.

After that use like this way,

if(odr.read())
{
 MessageBox.Show("You Already IN this ID Today");
}
else
{
 cmd.CommandText = "insert into timemgmt empid, sysdte, intime, outtime) values('" + textBox1.Text + "','" + label19.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "','" + label18.Text + "')";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
}

Try the above code.Use the Breakpoints and try to rectify where the error comes.

I already told you to use the 'code block' tags when posting code

(see here[^] )

I also already told you to use parameters (to prevent sql-injunctions). Not only are they safer they will also prevent a lot of errors.

Where to start?

Give your variables meaningful names. At a glance, what does textBox1 do?
Your code is wide open to a SQL Injection attack. You need to look into using parameterised queries here.
Your insert statement does nothing. You create the command text and then close the connection - you need to execute the command using cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
You have no exception handling. What happens if you can't connect the database, for instance?

If you had bothered to debug your code, you would have found the problem out in an instant. Learning to debug is one of the most valuable lessons you can master as a developer, and you should learn how to do it before too much longer.

Accessing Serial Port Remotely

Hello Everyone,

I wrote an application which send and receive data from a pinpad(device with RS-232 which use serial port) and i start testing the application, when i finised testing the application on my computer, I upload it to the server machine to do another test but when I run the application from client computers it does not recognize the pin pad, but when I run the application from my computer it works properly. My question is that is there any way I can access the pin pad remotely?

Thanks

I dont think so : I think you need to implement a tcp/ip network layer to sit between the serial port and the network and send it commands from your application.

We do this with eftpos devices - they are sent instructions from a centralised gateway via tcp/ip, and the client on the pc interfaces to the com port (via an activex control supplied by the eftpos company) .. (ok, so there's an activex control there, but it doesnt really matter that much)

There are commercial companies out there that offer pre-made toolkits to do this - just a quick search gives :-

oh .. a thought comes to mind, maybe citrix can do it, but thats a different paradigm

Hi,

when you start the application on your computer, it doesn't matter where the exe-file is located, the code runs on your computer with it's local hardware!
When you need to communicate with a remote serial port, you need to run on the remote computer an application, e.g. windows service, and communication with that application (e.g. Sockets)

Kind regards

Hi,

I don't think so. A normal com port is not reachable from remote without any local program.
But you can write a simple program which sends every received byte to com port. backwards might be a bit difficultier, because you should use DataReceived event from com port on server. but what is life without any chalenge? Smile | :)

good luck, bye
