Hi
I have a method that takes in data from XML, puts it temporarily into a dataset, where I then add to a List Object. This bits ok, but where I am falling over, is where there is more than one item of data in an XML node. In my code I am using foreach to iterate through each node, and this is working because I am seeing loop through each element in the node. However, when I am adding it to the List Object, it is only adding the last node to the list rather than every element.
The structure of the xml is that the first two nodes can only have one set of data, but the last two can have one to many, and this is where it goes wrong. I did try mylist.add(adddata) at the end of the loop, but what happened was that the last item was added but repeated x number of times for the number of items in the data.
Can anyone show me a good answer to this problem?
Thanks

It's impossible to say what's wrong without seeing the code that is doing this processing.

Hi
I know this sounds an odd question, but there is logic to my question. In my application, there will be a method that will call a method in a web service. However, and this is the logic bit, I just don't want to call the method and hope for the best, I want to check to see if the web service is running first. If it is, then call the method, else return a message to the user to say it is not running.
Does anyone show me a neat way to check to see if a web service is running or not?
Thanks

The only way to tell is to call it. Simple as that. There is no cool little trick to find out.
|
|
|
|

If you wrote the web service you could add an IsRunning method...
But your best bet is to just call the desired method.

PIEBALDconsult wrote: If you wrote the web service you could add an IsRunning method...
Which would timeout just like calling the original method anyway. So what's the difference? Adding a second webservice that would tell you the status of the first one, which it could only do by calling it itself...  ...and so on, and such like...

I'm trying to learn and work on azure table storage. The code works perfectly in my local. When I configure to the azure and still trying to work with my local (not using publish), I'm getting an exception.
public bool DoesTableExist(string tableName)
{
ParameterValidator.CheckStringParameter(tableName, false, "tableName");
bool tableExists = false;
RetryPolicy(() =>
{
try
{
DataServiceContext svc = GetDataServiceContext();
svc.MergeOption = MergeOption.NoTracking;
IEnumerable<TableStorageTable> query = from t in svc.CreateQuery<TableStorageTable>(TableStorageConstants.TablesName)
where t.TableName == tableName
select t;
tableExists = false;
try
{
// the query contains the whole primary key
// thus, if the query succeeds we can be sure that the table exists
(query as DataServiceQuery<tablestoragetable>).Execute(); tableExists = true;
}
catch (DataServiceQueryException e)
{
HttpStatusCode s;
if (TableStorageHelpers.EvaluateException(e, out s) && s == HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
{
tableExists = false;
}
else
{
throw;
}
}
catch (NullReferenceException ne)
{
//This is a workaround for bug in DataServiceQuery<T>.Execute. It throws a
//NullReferenceException instead of a DataServiceRequestException when it
//cannot connect to the the server. This workaround will be removed when
//the fix for this bug is released.
throw new DataServiceRequestException("Unable to connect to server.", ne);
}
}
catch (InvalidOperationException e)
{
HttpStatusCode status;
if (TableStorageHelpers.CanBeRetried(e, out status))
{
throw new TableRetryWrapperException(e);
}
throw;
}
});
return tableExists;
}
when it executes the (query as DataServiceQuery<TableStorageTable>).Execute() it has to fail and come to DataServiceQueryException and make tableExists = false and return with the same to create the table. Instead the code goes to the catch (NullReferenceException ne)and says unable to connect to the server. can someone help me onthis please.Thanks.

Hello Everyone, Im an extremely new programmer and this is the first time im trying out something like this.
I need to upload a XSD file and a XML file, then I need to check whether the XML file is valid comparing to the XSD file. These files are on my desktop.
Here is my code so far, but I am missing a lot of things. Any help will be great.
Button1: This is my validate Button
Button 2: This is my XML upload Button
Button 3: This is my XSD validate Button
inputtext: This is my textbox where the xml file location
inputtext2: This is my textbox where the xsd file location
textbox1: this is my output button.
One of the main things im having trouble with is that once my file link shows up to the inputtext, I dont know how to run the validation check on it with the xsd file. I know my code doesnt have any link with the xml and xsd files...its becasue I dont know how to link them. You may assume file names to be sample.xml and sample.xsd. Thanks

This is not an answer to your question, mainly because I have too much difficulty in reading your code, to be able to spot any problems. If you enclose your code in <pre>your code</pre> tags it will be much, much easier to read. The PRE tags maintain the formatting and colourize the code.
You state that

so you have not yet had some bad habits ingrained. Before it becomes too late, each time that you add a Control to a Form give it a name that reflects what it does, e.g. validationButton instead of leaving it as button1, do this immediately after adding it, before you do anything else like writing a click handler. That way, in six months time, when you look at your code again, you will not be forever thinking, "now what on earth did button1 or textBox1 do?" Some people put the control type first - validationButton would be buttonValidation for them. I use a similar scheme to that except I have, over the years, evolved a set of abbreviations for the controls - 'btn' for a Button, 'txt' for a TextBox, 'lbl' for a Label, 'cbox' for a ComboBox, 'lbox' for a ListBox and so on, so for me it would be btnValidation. Devise whatever you feel comfortable with, but please, please don't just leave them as button1, button2 and so on.

So i tried debugging my code, and I notice that the code does not go anywhere once I click on the validate button. Meaning it does not go to the validate function. It shows me error as follows "Illegal character paths"

I can see nothing wrong with that line as such.
However, there are two things that I have spotted in your ValidateXML method.
The
myschema.Add(strXSD, strXSD);
line is incorrect. It uses strXSD ("urn:bookstore-schema") for both parameters, strXSD is the namespace to use. The second parameter should be the URL of the file containing the schema to use.
Secondly you should not be using XmlSchemaCollection as it is Obsolete unless you are using .Net 1.0 or 1.1.
It will still work but you should really be using XmlSchemaSet instead.

There is one obvious line in your code, that might be causing your exception:
myschema.Add(strXSD, "C:/Umar/C:/Umar/H1N1_Schema.xsd");
What is "C:/Umar/C:/Umar/H1N1_Schema.xsd"?
If it is supposed to be "C:\Umar\H1N1_Schema.xsd", then try:
myschema.Add(strXSD, @"C:\Umar\H1N1_Schema.xsd");
waqasm wrote: ps. I was told that this website has tons of experienced programmers?? Why is there only one person helping me out
This site does indeed have lots of experienced programmers. All of us help out, when we can, on a voluntary basis. On problems that interest us, for people who give full information about the problems they are having. Little things like what line in the code the error occurs on. Also, in general they do not like to interrupt, unless they see some obviously bad advice.
So, if you do not like the help that you are getting, for free, please feel free to ask elsewhere. If you do, however, I would suggest that you learn to use the debugger, which for all of your problems would have helped you to identify the problems for yourself, and include the information in your question.

Thanks for your help. You saved my life  . I have tried it and it has worked fine. Moreover could you explain how I can fetch the query result ?

|

You are most welcome...
Well.... You just need to use dataset to fetch query results....

I have no idea about dataset  could yo explain it ?
however I tried SqlCeDataReader SqlRd= ObjSqlCeCommand.ExecuteReader(); instead of ObjSqlCeCommand.ExecuteScalar();
and to check if result row number > 0 I used "if (SqlRd.Read() == true)" conditional check. Unfortunately It does not works for query string "SELECT Username, Name, Surname FROM SystemUsers where Username =' " + input + "' and Password = '" +passwd +"'"; there must be one row as a result but It does not return any thing. do you have any idea ?
|
|
|
|
|
use this :
SqlCeDataReader reader;
using (reader = ObjSqlCeCommand.ExecuteReader())
{
while(reader.Read())
{
}
}

thank you very much

SqlCommand..::.ExecuteScalar Method:
Executes the query, and returns the first column of the first row in the result set returned by the query. Additional columns or rows are ignored.
SqlCommand.ExecuteReader Method:
Sends the CommandText to the Connection and builds a SqlDataReader.
Dataset:

I am developing an application in which a connection to a server application on another computer within our network is established. I am using a System.Net.Sockets.Socket to establish the connection to said server app. Upon successfully connecting to the server app, I send a connect message with the login credentials the user provided. In response, the server app should send back a message to indicate a successful or unsuccessful login. My problem is this: when running from within the Visual Studio development, it works flawlessly. When I launch the executable directly, I do not receive the return message from the server app. Any ideas?

Do you log all exceptions? What are the symptoms other than "it does not work"?
Maybe you gave VS a permanent green light in your firewall, and it is blocking your app outside VS?
