I do have that full list below (I am using 2008, .NET3.5) also
System.Management.SelectQuery query = new System.Management.SelectQuery("Win32_SystemDriver");
should get around that
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
using System.ServiceProcess;
I take it the method I created will only get the name rather than anything useful. The dictionary method, I have not used much (you are only using a get method no set!) could you point me in the direction of a reasonable tutorial. A few minute job is taking so long!

Have you added a reference to System.Management? It sounds like you accidentally added a reference to System.Management.Instrumentation instead.
|
|
|
|
|
Yup!
is only there as I was looking for what else was there (being nosey!) I do have
using System.Management; and
using System.ServiceProcess; any ideas.....
|
|
|
|
|
That's not what I meant by adding a reference. Right click on your project and choose Add Reference.... Scroll through the list of available .NET references and add System.Management (and System.ServiceProcess if you need it).

Ahh, right okay, sorry about that (too many other things, phone calls etc. got distracted from what I was (trying) to do!) the red wiggly lines have gone, been replaced by blue
on the
System.Management.ManagementObject manageObject = searcher.Get();
and the additions to the list box "driver"
driver.Add("PathName", manageObject["PathName"]);
Sorry, again I have missed something!

Change the method to this:
public static Dictionary<string, string> GetDriverInfo(string driverName)
{
Dictionary<string, string> driver = new Dictionary<string, string>();
System.Management.SelectQuery query = new System.Management.SelectQuery("Win32_SystemDriver");
query.Condition = string.Format("Name='{0}'", driverName);
System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
foreach (System.Management.ManagementObject manageObject in searcher.Get())
{
driver.Add("PathName", manageObject["PathName"].ToString());
driver.Add("Description", manageObject["Description"].ToString());
driver.Add("State", manageObject["State"].ToString());
driver.Add("StartMode", manageObject["StartMode"].ToString());
}
return driver;
}That should do it.

Yayy!! the wiggly lines have gone, cue the happy dance!
(seriously) Thanks Alot!

You're welcome. This is what I get when I just type code samples into the CP Message box with the famous battle cry of "this should work".

I now need to use the Dictionary created how can I upload the list and then search it,
if follow the reckoning I have used before would give:
driver.Add(manageObject["PathName"].ToString(),"Description",manageObject["Description"].ToString(),"State", manageObject["State"].ToString()+"StartMode",ManageObject["StartMode"].ToString());
As I in the past have done with a Dictionary
Dictionary.Add("01010", "Glenn"); and this is read out using
Console.WriteLine("myDictionary[\"01010\"]:{0}",Dictonary["01010"]);
only done it at the console!

Right - now I'm assuming that you are using the Visual Studio installer in this example. What you do is create a custom installer step (like this[^]) and add your logic in there. Have a look here[^] for further details.

|

Umm, it will be caught up in an installer once it's all working, however now I would like a method of finding out about the drivers with out having to run an installer (I can see a use for it not connected to this project!)

Thanks for that still learning the correct (CP) way of doing things.

Hi All
I've got some problems with converting readed text from *.doc file. I'm using this code:
FileStream fs = null;
fs = new FileStream(plik.ToString(), FileMode.Open);
byte[] example = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(example, 0, example.Length);
string outtext = "";
int count = 0;
for (int i = 2560; i < example.Length; i++)
{
if (example[i] == 0)
{
break;
}
count++;
}
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250));
br.BaseStream.Position = 2560;
byte[] newarr = br.ReadBytes(count);
outtext = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newarr);
string str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < outtext.Length; i++)
{
if ((outtext[i] >= '!' && outtext[i] <= '~') || (outtext[i] == ' ') || (outtext[i] == '\r'))
{
str += outtext[i];
}
}
fs.Close();
tekst = str;
It works great till I try to read file with polish symbols (ISO-8859-2). I try'ed to convert it to ISO-8859-2 but it is not working propertly.
Could anybody help me with this problem?

"Windows-1250 is similar to ISO-8859-2 and has all the printable characters it has and more. However a few of them are rearranged (unlike Windows-1252, which keeps all printable characters from ISO-8859-1 in the same place). Most of the rearrangements seem to have been done to keep characters shared with Windows-1252 in the same place as in Windows-1252 but three of the characters moved (Ą,Ľ,ź) cannot be explained this way."
I'd suggest you use "ISO-8859-2" as your encoding to read the file, not Windows-1250.

Not in the code you posted;

If you read them in the correct format and save them as UTF8, you should not see a loss of information.

As You told me I convert sorce data to iso-8859-2 and then to UTF-8, but the result was the same. If I convert english docs it works perfect, but when I use polish docs i get this result string: "."
There's solution that I create for this:
FileStream fs = null;
try
{
fs = new FileStream(plik.ToString(), FileMode.Open);
byte[] example = new byte[fs.Length];
fs.Read(example, 0, example.Length);
string outtext = "";
int count = 0;
for (int i = 2560; i < example.Length; i++)
{
if (example[i] == 0)
{
break;
}
count++;
}
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs, Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-2"));
br.BaseStream.Position = 2560;
byte[] newarr = br.ReadBytes(count);
outtext = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newarr);
string str = "";
for (int i = 0; i < outtext.Length; i++)
{
if ((outtext[i] >= '!' && outtext[i] <= '~') || (outtext[i] == ' ') || (outtext[i] == '\r'))
{
str += outtext[i];
}
}
fs.Close();
tekst = str;
}
catch (Exception exc)
{
Console.WriteLine(exc.ToString());
return;
}
So could anybody give me any other advice?

Aight, let's take a look at this piece of the code;
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs, Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-2"));
br.BaseStream.Position = 2560;
byte[] newarr = br.ReadBytes(count);
outtext = System.Text.UTF8Encoding.UTF8.GetString(newarr);
You are reading the file as an array of bytes - those values won't change based on the encoding. Once you convert it to a string, it'll have to know what encoding to use to convert those bytes into the correct character. That's what your last line is doing, but it is using the UTF8-encoding - not your iso-8859-2. Hence, the system will interpret those bytes that you just read as UTF8.
Read them as the iso-format, and all should work.

I used:
outtext = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-2").GetString(newarr);
but it's not working. Where should I use this encription?

It's not an encryption, but an encoding. Below example should work, tested it with the Polish Army Oath from the Wikipedia;
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
Encoding enc = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-2");
string someString = File.ReadAllText("test.txt", enc);
Console.WriteLine (someString);
}

Thanks, but I know this type of encoding. I just don't know how to use it with binaryreader that I need to use.
|
|
|
|

Why do you "need" to read it as binary and convert it to string, when you can read it as a string?
There's an example[^] on MSDN that shows how to use the encoding with a array of bytes.

Hello
I need to have a ressource folder automaticaly created into the bin folder by the compiler and automaticaly copy a text file in it
Purpose :
My application need to read some information into a predefined textfile
I can obviously create that text file into the ressouce folder of the project
But when I compile the project I need that this text file will be automaticaly copied into the ressouce folder in the Bin Folder
What is the method to do that ?
Thanks a lot for your help

You could include the file and go to the properties page and select "Always copy", or create a batch-file and execute that prior to build. Remember that the IDE can execute commands before build, is somewhere in the projects' settings.
