That's the UK's version of google. No offense, but the original is better.

I am very sorry. Were you trying to add something useful that would help a novice like myself, or were you trying to prove that you can form complete a sentence. Honestly, I am only looking for constructive help. Nothing else.

I think you responded in the wrong spot. This thread is from a very generic question and the first response, not even from me, was to search google. This isn't even your question. Then a few of us enjoyed a little humor during a Friday workday.
I actually did provide you an answer to one of your questions.

I wrote this small program from an example in the C# book and it compile fine, but gives a path error for the file that I am reading. I created an external file at c:\tempPath
Can someone please advise?
Thanks.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplicationTEST2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
string tempPath = Path.GetTempFileName();
string tempPath2 = Path.GetTempFileName();
if (File.Exists(tempPath))
{
byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes("c:\tempPath");
File.WriteAllBytes(tempPath2, data);
Console.WriteLine("First byte: {0}", data[0]);
Console.WriteLine("Last byte: {0}", data[data.Length]);
Console.WriteLine(data.Length);
}
}
}
}
OUTPUT:

You need to learn about character escaping in strings.

That string is (shown 1 character per line for clarity)
c

tab character (\t)

What you probably mean is "c:\\tempPath" .
While you are at it, read up on Unicode.

Peter,
When I make it ("C:\\tempPath", it gives me the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'c:\te
mpPath'.

That's because it is a directory. You need to point to a file.

5!

Yeah, what he said. Or you could use a verbatim string -- @"c:\tempPath" .
|
|
|
|
|
5!
|
|
|
|

Or: "c:/temppath". .Net allows the separator to go either way.

There are soooooo many jokes just crawling all over that statement.

Yes, but this is a serious forum, so I thought it would be okay

It looks like you want to 'copy' a file from one directory to another. You give it 2 arguments: source and destination. correct?
In that case I would rather go for:
byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes(tempPath);
"C:\tempPath" denotes a directory ,not a file.
PS: note that the other comments are valid, the \ backslash character needs to be escaped as follows.
"C:\\tempPath\\"
@"C:\tempPath\"
Another thing is see going wrong is this line:
Console.WriteLine("Last byte: {0}", data[data.Length]);
Console.WriteLine("Last byte: {0}", data[data.Length-1]);
Hope this helps.

Oh my.
1.
As Path.GetTempFileName() tries to provide you with a randomly chosen file name in order NOT to clash with existing files, how on earth do you expect File.Exists() to ever return true?
2.
Code should be put inside PRE tags, to preserve formatting and improve readability.
3.
And if there is some code sitting in between both method calls, you really should have indicated so.
4.
There is absolutely no relation between a variable called tempPath, and a file path with the value @"C:\tempPath".
Did you skip your morning coffee?

I changed the file name to "c:\\temp" and it still does not work.
|
|
|
|

The file name is stored in your variable tempFile.
Why are you giving it a string literal that says "C:\tempFile"?
Try
byte[] fileData = File.ReadAllBytes(tempFile);
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

can any body tell me how to create cron file in .net using c# for web application..
|
|
|
|
|
Considering Windows has no concept of a "cron" file, that's pretty much impossible to do.
Are you talking about scheduling a task to run as some future point?
