Thanks for your concern and the good advice. I will try that although there isnt a whole lot to catch in my entire code, especially the webBrowser (I've stripped it down to it's bare basic, even less code than its origin, from the standard C# Studio 2008 tutorial):
private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
}
Outside of the IDE, the browser doesn't load ('navigation has been canceled') and the ftp doesn't connect (I'm already catching it on initial WebRequest requestcreate = WebRequest.Create("ftp://..."), so it's easy to spot what is breaking. I've been considering adapting some code I found for firewall exceptions - should this really be necessary for the default web browser control?
I *do* very much hope that someone can recommend another way of testing my port and firewall settings with regards to this issue. I am certain that it can be resolved in windows rather than debugging my code, so if anyone knows of any good network diagnostic software or dos network/socket/port commands that may help, please do tell me! 
By the way when I right click and choose properties on the page I get hef="res://ieframe.dll/ErrorPageTemplate.css..."
I have searched about res://ieframe.dll/ to no avail as of yet.modified on Saturday, February 27, 2010 8:35 PM

I have a web-browser control and a HTML tag inside which im not familiar with.
Anyway ive filled in the form with the set attribute method and invoked its submit button with this delay directly underneath
while (LoginBrowser.IsBusy == true)
{
Application.DoEvents();
}
This works when the credentials are correct but im trying to detect when invalid credentials are entered in which case a massage is somehow injected into the HTML even when javascript is disabled in the browser.
TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("output.htm");
tw.WriteLine(LoginBrowser.DocumentText);
tw.Close();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("output.htm");
The above is spitting out the original html form without the error message so my problem is finding a way to reliably detect when the code has been injected .
Ive tried using the Document completed event but the browser isnt navigating anywhere.modified on Saturday, February 27, 2010 4:23 PM

Hello,
i am using VS2008 and SQLServer 2005.
my user should be able to store files/pictures in my app.
what is the best way to save files like pictures at runtime ?
where should i store them ?
thanks
bye jo

You could create a folder and toss the files in there. Or you could store them in a SQL Server 2005 database. If you are storing the data on the user's computer, you should probably use a folder, as getting a full running instance of SQL Sever 2005 on a user's computer is a pain. If you are storing the data on a central server, I'd go with storing it in your database (that way, all your data is stored in one place). That way, when you want to do a backup, all your data is in one place, so you only need to backup the database and you are done. In SQL Server 2005, you can use a varbinary(max) column to store file data.

If using local file storage, I normally use the system defined folders as there shouldn't be any permission problems reading/writing from/to these.
string userPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
string allUsersPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData);
[Edit] There are some problems if a different user needs to overwrite an existing file in CommonApplicationData. See solution here[^]. [/Edit]

Hi Dave,
FYI: I haven't used Win7 myself yet, however Christian[^] reported some problems with appdata.
Any comment on the matter?

Not tried it under Weven, but my test dev machine with weven is fired up so will test it now 
|
|
|
|

Test Code:
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication
{
class Program
{
public static readonly string UserPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
public static readonly string AllUsersPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
string fileName = "Test.txt";
string textToSave = "AbcDefGhi";
string userFilePath = Path.Combine(UserPath, fileName);
string allUsersFilePath = Path.Combine(AllUsersPath, fileName);
using (TextWriter userTextWriter = new StreamWriter(userFilePath),
allUsersTextWriter = new StreamWriter(allUsersFilePath))
{
Console.WriteLine("Writing {0} to {1}", textToSave, userFilePath);
userTextWriter.WriteLine(textToSave);
Console.WriteLine("Writing {0} to {1}", textToSave, allUsersFilePath);
allUsersTextWriter.WriteLine(textToSave);
}
using (TextReader userTextReader = new StreamReader(userFilePath),
allUsersTextReader = new StreamReader(allUsersFilePath))
{
Console.WriteLine("Reading from {0}", userFilePath);
Console.WriteLine(userTextReader.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Reading from {0}", allUsersFilePath);
Console.WriteLine(allUsersTextReader.ReadLine());
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
[Edit] Added exception checking [/Edit]
[Edit2] Removed inner exception log as per Luc's post below [/Edit2]

Thanks.
assuming you are logged in as a regular user, not a sysadmin, and UAC is enabled and working normally, that means Win7 behaves like Vista in this, and CG somehow ran out of luck again!?

Yeah, just a regular default Win7 install with no tweaking. The account is under the 'Administrators' group as is the default for the first installed user rather than a limited account, but scratching a [insert body part here] still requires UAC elevation so no special permissions have been requested or granted to the account.
I think CG has just been 'Graused' again.

Interesting...
I just created a 'Standard User' account and tested the test code .exe under that account and it failed!
Even the exception wasn't caught! Just a Win7 dialog, un-collapsing the details panel shows

Couldn't go to bed with that on my mind!
The problem is I left the file in the 'CommonApplicationData' folder (X:\ProgramData\Test.txt) from when I ran under the admin account. The Standard User account could not overwrite it as it was created by a user from the Administrators group.
I deleted it using the admin account, switched to the Standard User, it ran perfectly and could overwrite the file it created itself with no issues on multiple runs.
|
|
|
|
|
More curious...
The file created by the Standard User can't be overwritten by the user from the 'Administrators' group either.
System.UnauthorizedAccessException:
Access to the path 'X:\ProgramData\Test.txt' is denied.
|
|
|
|

yeah, I would expect:
1. AppData to be individual and hence writable and readable for the user account;
2. CommonAppData to be common to everyone, hence readable by everyone, but writable only by someone who can install the app.
Haven't seen it documented in any detail however.
BTW: if number 2 is what MS intended, CommonAppData does not make much sense, the folder holding the EXE would offer the same characteristics.
[EDIT] Well, it does keep settings apart from distributed code, so app settings would have a better chance of surviving an app upgrade[/EDIT]

It can be altered of course by creating a folder for your app and setting permissions at that time.
Modified code below works so all users have Write and Modify as well so the store can be truly shared.
I'll clean up the code and put it into a reusable class and post as a Tip/Trick tomorrow.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.AccessControl;
namespace ConsoleApplication
{
class Program
{
public static readonly string UserPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
public static readonly string AllUsersPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData);
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
string folderName = "Test";
string fileName = "Test.txt";
string textToSave = "AbcDefGhi";
string userDirectory = Path.Combine(UserPath, folderName);
string allUsersDirectory = Path.Combine(AllUsersPath, folderName);
string userFilePath = Path.Combine(userDirectory, fileName);
string allUsersFilePath = Path.Combine(allUsersDirectory, fileName);
CreateDirectoryWithPermissions(userDirectory);
CreateDirectoryWithPermissions(allUsersDirectory);
using (TextWriter userTextWriter = new StreamWriter(userFilePath),
allUsersTextWriter = new StreamWriter(allUsersFilePath))
{
Console.WriteLine("Writing {0} to {1}", textToSave, userFilePath);
userTextWriter.WriteLine(textToSave);
Console.WriteLine("Writing {0} to {1}", textToSave, allUsersFilePath);
allUsersTextWriter.WriteLine(textToSave);
}
using (TextReader userTextReader = new StreamReader(userFilePath),
allUsersTextReader = new StreamReader(allUsersFilePath))
{
Console.WriteLine("Reading from {0}", userFilePath);
Console.WriteLine(userTextReader.ReadLine());
Console.WriteLine("Reading from {0}", allUsersFilePath);
Console.WriteLine(allUsersTextReader.ReadLine());
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
Console.ReadKey();
}
private static void CreateDirectoryWithPermissions(string path)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
bool modified = false;
DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = directoryInfo = Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
DirectorySecurity directorySecurity = directoryInfo.GetAccessControl();
AccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule(
"Users",
FileSystemRights.Write |
FileSystemRights.ReadAndExecute |
FileSystemRights.Modify,
InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit |
InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit,
PropagationFlags.InheritOnly,
AccessControlType.Allow);
directorySecurity.ModifyAccessRule(AccessControlModification.Add, rule, out modified);
directoryInfo.SetAccessControl(directorySecurity);
}
}
}
}

if you ask for Exception.ToString() there is no need to remember inner exceptions at all...

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me if you know about any good "version control software"? Working in a live project of C#. Since its improving 'everyday', need to save every version of projects with description, which have been delivered to the customer already.
Any idea?

Git[^] seems very popular.
I haven't used it though, so I can't tell how good it is.![Green Alien | [Alien]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/alien.gif) Kristian Sixhoej
