i have a basic question in linq.
Lets say i have a list of student collection
List<Student> lstStudents = new List<Student>();
Now when i use the where method, i can either specify
List<Student> lstFilteredStudents = lstStudents.where<Student>(...);
or i can specify
List<Student> lstFilteredStudents = lstStudents.where(...);
Now my question is wat is the difference between calling these two methods internally?modified on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 6:45 AM

None really. The first one is explicitly specifying that the where clause is working against a generic of type Student, where the second version will infer it."WPF has many lovers.

As far as LINQ is concerned, there is no difference between either of those calls. In fact, there is only one version of that Where method which is generic and looks like Where<TSource>(Func<TSource, int, bool> predicate)).
In your first call, you are explicitly stating the type to be used in place of TSource and in the second one you are letting the compiler infer the type from the type of the collection.Scott Dorman Microsoft® MVP - Visual C# | MCPD

Hi all,
I have a question regarding web services and configuration files.
Platform:
.Net Framework , code behind c#.
Scenario:
I have a web service which when i publish, creates a bin folder. All normal. Now, in that bin folder i have a dll which is effectively my data access layer, CRUD for databases etc. Now i use ConfigurationManager.GetSection("AppConfig") within this dll in order to get database connection strings, which the dll brings out from the web service web.config file.
File Structure:
<My Web Service Folder>
--><AppData>
--><bin>--><My Data Access Layer DLL>
--><web.config(includes data access layer variables)>
Within my development environment, this works like a charm, using ConfigurationManager.GetSection("AppConfig") from my dll to get out the appconfig section from my web.config and then searching the nodes in order to find the right key.
Example of web.config:
<AppConfig>
<Configs use="true">
<add key="Databases" use="true" />
</Configs>
<!-- Web Service Configuration Settings-->
<Databases>
<ConnectionStrings>
<add key="<MY KEY NAME>" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
value="<MY CONNECTION STRING>" />
</ConnectionStrings>
</Databases>
</AppConfig>
So far so good.
Now i am testing a deployment of this system on a virtual pc. I copy and paste the c:\initpub\<mywebservice> folder into the c:\inetpub of the virtual pc. I try and run it and it fails. After inserting debugging into the code to see where it is failing, I found out that ConfigurationManager.GetSection("AppConfig") is actually returning null instead of the appconfig section from the web.config. Does anybody know why this is happening ?
Please excuse the length of the post but was needed to explain the situation.

Hi,
I want to be able to send commands to a running application from the command line. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Ted- Life would be so much easier if I had the source code!

Is the application already running on the commandline, or are you starting a console-application?
If you're starting the proces yourself (using Process) then you could redirect the Standard Input[^] device.I are Troll

Perhaps it needed a little bit more explanation.
In Delphi, I wrote a program for clients that listened to UDP. On the server I sometimes started a broadcaster (from the command line) to send a message to the clients (after sending the message the broacast app shuts down again).
Now in C# I'm gonna rebuild this program. The client will be the same, but on the server the application will keep running because of added functionality.
So, the app is a GUI app (dont know if it will be winforms or wpf yet) which will be running constantly. I just want to send some kind of command from the command line to the server and have the server app handle the messaging to the clients. Ofcourse, I could also split the server app in 2 programs (the original broadcaster) and another app to do the extra stuff. But the server app will also log the messages sent, so thats why i wanted to build one tool for the server which does all the work..
Better explained this way? or even more vague?

What you say is really difficult to achieve. Probably you should consider the approach of DataBase Servers like MySql. There is a service running and you can still run commands on those servers from command line. But in this case, there is a new instance of program that sends the data through port to the running service.
Hence, what you can do :
1. Instead of accepting the input from commandline, accept it through port. You already have a port handler in your server.
2. Create a CommandLine application to accept data from keyboard, send it through port to the service.
Now the user can simply type the command in the commandline, it gets routed through the port and goes to the server.
Added benefit is that this can be userful for remote monitoring as well.

Bit of both; I fail to see from where you want to send commands to the command-line application. You mentioned that the broadcaster (the server) is a console-app.
Am I right in understanding that the broadcaster tells the client "what" to start, or is it the broadcaster itself that needs to be steered?I are Troll

ok, I need to be more clear
Our release build process (compile, build, create iso, etc) is run multiple times a day with the use of 4NT batch files on a server. During the process, notifications about the progress are sent to all developers informing them about new compiler errors, files being locked etc. This way the people who need to fix something know they have to and the build process can be fired up again ASAP. They receive these messages in a small receiver app using UDP. The messages are sent with a broadcaster app using command line parameters. In the batch files we just execute the broadcast tool with some parameters, it sends the message and shuts down again. (like: broadcast <message type=""> <message to="" send=""> / broadcast error file not found: aFile.exe). The broadcaster and receiver tools are all built in Delphi. I want to rebuild it using C# as my first project (i'm currently making the transition from Delphi to C# guru (inhouse) :P)
Do you get the idea now?  (hope so!)- Life would be so much easier if I had the source code!

Two applications to migrate, starting with the broadcaster. As soon as you create a new console-application you'll see where to get the command-line arguments from. Are all options specified as arguments, or will you be reading user-input directly from the console?
Coming from Delphi, I guessed that it's now based on the Indy-components? You might be interested in the example on the UdpClient[^] class.I are Troll

| There is no simple way to do this. You would have to write a command line application that communicated to the running application, either via Remoting or via a common text file or database. I would recommend Remoting[^] as it will be more flexible and less processor / disk intensive. You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace

the command sent from commandline is part of a batchfile running. perhaps I should split the tool like i said in the reply to Eddy on the other thread.- Life would be so much easier if I had the source code!

The program would have to have that capability built in. One simple way would be having the application check a database for actions to take. Then you just deposit your instructions there.
Another way is to use a Windows Service and send custom actions to it.

I have developed window application in C#.net. I am creating word file from this. But if I am going to save changes in word file I got the below error.
a.doc may contain features that are not compatible with plain text format. Do you want to save tha document in this format ?
How to save file in word format
Thanks in advance

A Word-document contains special tokens to identify tables, lines, pictures and stuff. A plain text-file doesn't contain these things, as a plain text-file can only contain text.
You can use the Visual Studio for Office[^]-extensions if you're going to work with Word.
As an alternative; Microsoft Word can also read the "Rich Text File" format (RTF) and HTML files I are Troll

Hi,
I am updating a Excel Worksheet cell value to 2009.03 and it become change to 2009.3.
I tried may ways to solve the issue but value always changed to "2009.3" instead of "2009.03" on Server. It is working on my system but not on Win XP 2003 Server System.
I used to set excel cell NumberFormat to "@", "0.00", "####.##"
and even tried to concatenated "'" before value but result not come.
The excel file is of 2007 format(.xlsx).
<u>>My Code is</u>
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook WorkBook = null;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet Sheet = null;
WorkBook = Utility.GetWorkbook2007(templateFileWPath);
Sheet = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Worksheet)WorkBook.Worksheets[1];
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range TPCellRange = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Range)Sheet.Cells[this.GetRowIndex(Sheet, this.CellAddress), this.GetColumnIndex(Sheet, this.CellAddress)];
TPCellRange.set_Value(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault,"2009.03");
or also tried
CellValueRange.NumberFormat = "@";
CellValueRange.set_Value(Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault, "2009.03");
plz reply me if any solution is possible
Thanks @ regards

Could it be that the "." (the decimalseparator) is interpreted as a thousand-separator?I are Troll
|
|
|
|
|
"." is not a thousandseperator
its like a date value seperator or date is in yyyy.mm format
but i need actual value like "2009.03" where 2009 is year and 03 is month.

Have you tried setting the numberformat to "yyyy.mm"?I are Troll
