This is just a guess, but does the directory exist? I've looked at the property's code through Reflector, and that's the only thing that will throw the exception.

By the way, your File.Copy will fail, because you haven't specified a source filename, just the parent directory.

Sorry, I try to understand what you are doing:

void FileTransferWatcher_Created(object sender, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs e)
        {
            System.IO.File.Copy(e.FullPath, @"D:\");
        }
/pre>

Are you copying a file to your observed directory when you register the handler?

problem with RSS feed - pubDate

Hi All,

Hope everyone had a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Just a question...I have made an RSS Feed which is syndicated by the Mozilla and IE , as an output of an XML file. However when either of the feeds show, they show the pubDate as being totally different dates to what is shown in the XML file. Even when I look at the source, the XML file still shows the correct dates as opposed to what is shown in the browser.
What do you guys think is the problem? Heres my code. Cheers.

public static void CreateNewsFeed(string mappath)
{
FileStream fs = null;
StreamWriter sw = null;

try
{

using (SqlConnection conn = Connection.connect())
{

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "ShowNewsFeed";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();

fs = new FileStream(mappath, System.IO.FileMode.Create, System.IO.FileAccess.Write);
sw = new StreamWriter(fs);

sw.WriteLine("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
//ISO-8859-1
//xmlns:atom=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\"

sw.WriteLine("<rss version=\"2.0\">");
sw.WriteLine("<channel>");
sw.WriteLine("<title>Company Name</title>");
sw.WriteLine("<link>http://www.companyname.com.au/Home/News/News.aspx</link>");
sw.WriteLine("<description>News and the latest updates</description>");
sw.WriteLine("<language>en-us</language>");

while (reader.Read())
{
DateTime dt = (DateTime)reader["datePosted"];

sw.WriteLine("<item>");
sw.WriteLine("<title>" + reader["title"].ToString() + "</title>");
sw.WriteLine("<link>http://www.companyname.com.au/NewsArticle.aspx?newsID=" + reader["newsID"] + "</link>");
sw.WriteLine("<description>" + reader["description"].ToString() + "</description>");
sw.WriteLine("<pubDate>" + dt.ToString("R") + "</pubDate>");
sw.WriteLine("</item>");

}

sw.WriteLine("</channel>");
sw.WriteLine("</rss>");
sw.Close();
fs.Close();

}
}
catch (Exception m)
{

throw new Exception(m.Message);
}

}

donno really, might be that the browser is rewriting the timestamps.

I tried your rss online at:

and it works fine:

Internet explorer HTTP Authentication - sending or storing headers

Vijayanand Settin30-Dec-09 23:32

30-Dec-09 23:32

I am working on developing a browser helper object for IE. I have to automatically login in to some sites.
These are issues I am facing:

1. In one of the sites, although I use a Navigate2() function of IWebBrowser2 with 'Basic' Authorization header, the site neglects it because it looks like a javascript function is run while loaded and it opens up a pop asking for credentials again (response header with WWW-Authenticate and Basic realm).

2. There are a few other sites where I succeed in logging in by sending Authorization header. But if I click on any of the links or try to browse, they again ask for credentials - some times with same domain or a different domain when it happens to open a new window.

I need a way to store login credentials as a part of internet explorer which the browser can add to every request for a domain or a set of domains. Or, if there are any other solutions, please do suggest.

Please do let me know if I am not clear.

Thanks,
Vijay

Sipder, thanks for the suggestion.
Could you elaborate more on that, pls? Won't the server look for an authorization header? How does one make sure cookies are read when credentials are required?

Thanks,
Vijay

facing problems with Dictonary object

Hi All,

I have one sample sql query and in where condition i need to put one value which is coming from dictonary object.

sample sql query: select * from XYZ where column1= {0}

so, i used string.Format(sql,searchvalue),

sql: query with where condition
searchvalue: Dictonaryobject(holds key and value)

but while debugging it is not replacing dictionary value and it is replacing text like

'System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.String]'

i am a bit confused why it is not replacing with dictionary value.

can anybody help on this?

You need to use searchvalue["..."] where ... will be your key value. If you directly use searchvalue you will only get System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.

There are only 10 types of people in this world — those who understand binary, and those who don't.

To add to Abinhavs' answer: Don't do it that way anyway! When you do, you leave your database open to an SQL injection attack[^]
Do it this way

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT * FROM xyz WHERE column1=@SV");
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@SV", searchvalue);

Note that the convention is SQL keywords in uppercase, tablenames and fields lowercase.

Dear all,

I am new to C# programming and I need some guide on this problem. I am using MicroSoft Visual Studios 2005 C#.

I am given a task where i have to use the detections(in byte) received by the serial port, to
store them into points and appear on the interface form.

I need to:

1) use ReadByte Method to receive a single byte at a time from the serial port and to give a unique initial to the received byte detections by the HS0038B receiver. The detections must be categorised as X1 and Y1.

2)Create an ArrayList to store the bytes when the function ReadByte receive single byte.

Can anyone provide me with a small workable codes?

Thank you very much

I want to move a file with the following function but i get UnathorizedAccessException thrown. What could be the problem. When i try to move it to My Documents, it works just fine, only when i move it to the C Drive it throws the Exception mentioned. I'm really stuck.

private void MoveFile()
{
    string fileName = "myFile.txt";
    FileInfo fInfo  = new FileInfo(fileName);
    fInfo.MoveTo(@"C:\"+fileName);
    MessageBox.Show("Done");
}

Have you got Admin rights on the box? Sounds pretty much to me like you don't have access to c:\

Can you manually move a file there in explorer?

When i move a file in C, i get a pop up saying Destination Folder Access Denied, then asks me to provide administrators permission. I click on Continue to get permission. Then i get permission and the file is moved. Is there a way my program can make such permission requests? What is the best way to go about this?

Well, security isn't really my thing, but your problem is clear enough.

First off, can you move the file somewhere other than root?
If not, you can fiddle around with the folder security on it and make sure the account you're using has full access to it.
And, if its that stupid UAC vista thing, I'd consider turning it off completely if you can. It's most annoying.

Regards,

You can't copy anything to the C drive unless it's to the application data folder.

Its all because of UAC, google to run application as Administrator, vista will ask for the permission.
Actually, you are supposed to use the personal folder(My documents/App folder), in that case you will not face such problem.
