He did, but then sugested a path they could all get at. If they are held locally then there is no problem, it's a relatively simple MediaPlayer and sockets problem. I just felt that if it was a single copy being read (which is obviously a whole lot easier for configuration and control purposes) then test it first!

You need the path to know from where to copy the file
So server sends network path to video file to all clients, clients use this path to copy the video file from the server to there local drive.
After that clients use the local copy of the video file to play it.
(At least that's how I understood it)

If I was one of the poor sods on the course, that would annoy the hell out of me, particularly if I was paying with my own money:
1) Start training video
2) Wait a few minutes while we copy the file over the network.
3) Video starts.
Copy them all to local HDD: no delay, no stutter, no problem. You can then control it in MediaPlayer (or whatever) via sockets so the trainee does not need to go anywhere near the video file itself.
If the tutor is that paraniod, he can copy them ready in preparation for the days lesson.

Didn't say it wouldn't be annoying 
I guess it depends on how large the files are.
But even in your scenario the logic still holds, minus the copy part. And provided the tutor put the files all in the same location (something like c:\videos).
I guess the best option here would be:

I have found a good article at http://www.codeguru.com/columns/vb/article.php/c8459__2/ to build a ftp client. But I wanted to get everyone's input on what the best way of doing this in c#.net or vb.net 2008.
What I am wanting to do is have 2 simple classes:
Class 1: Upload...
Class 2: Download...
All I want to pass into the class is the following:
IP Address
Port
Login
Password
Sending/Receiving File Location.
However I need the 2 classes to generate a form to show the user the stages of connection and progression of transmission.
Anyone have any insights on how I can go about this. Perhaps websites that can give me a working model to build from.
I could simply pass the command thru the command prompt but I would rather it be part of the main application and or .net framework if possible.

What have you tried ? What have you found out ? Have you installed the Microsoft tools for office ? What do the docs say you can and cannot do ? I doubt you can get a message from outlook, I expect you'd have to poll it at regular intervals.

Hi,
I host a WebBrowser control in a WinForm. When the user clicks a button I call Navigate(url) on the control, but it's not 100% reliable. Sometimes the control will navigate to the page, but sometimes it won't, for exactly the same URL. Has anyone seen something similar?
thanx
|

I would imagine this means that there's events being fired by the control and sometimes you're in sync with them, and some times not. You should look at what state change events the control fires and see if you can detect a pattern between those and when your code works or not. The control should work just fine.

I'm not sure what you mean. I call webControl1.Navigate("www.amazon.com"); on every button click. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
|
|

|

Well, the control works, so one assumes that it must sometimes be in a state where you have to wait before you navigate.

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.
