rtl gridview - C# Discussion Boards

I've hit a road block and can't figure out why I am getting this response back. It appears that it connects to the server but it returns:

"System.Management.Automation.Remoting.PSRemotingTransportException: Connecting to remote server server2.domain.local failed with the following error message: An invalid argument was supplied".

I enabled everything I thought on the remote computer:

winrm set winrm/config/service/auth @{Basic="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"}
winrm set winrm/config/client @{TrustedHosts="*"}

I'm trying to remote powershell so I can run Citrix powershell commands from another computer and here is what I have:

C#

try
            {
                XenDesktop7 xd = new XenDesktop7("http://server2.domain.local:5985/wsman", @"DOMAIN\Administrator", "#######");
                string[] blah = xd.GetCatalogs();

                foreach (var b in blah)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(b);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
            }

C#

public CitrixPowershell(string uri, string username, string password)
        {
            this._connection = GetConnection(uri, username, password);
            PSSnapInException snapinException;
            _runspace = RunspaceFactory.CreateRunspace(_connection);
            _runspace.Open();

            _runspace.RunspaceConfiguration.AddPSSnapIn("Citrix.*.Admin.V*", out snapinException);

            _powershell = PowerShell.Create();
            _powershell.Runspace = _runspace;
            
        }

        private WSManConnectionInfo GetConnection(string uri, string username, string password)
        {
            SecureString pwd = new SecureString();
            foreach (char x in password)
                pwd.AppendChar(x);

            PSCredential ps = new PSCredential(username, pwd);

            WSManConnectionInfo wsinfo = new WSManConnectionInfo(false, "server2.domain.local", 5985, "/wsman", "http://schemas.microsoft.com/powershell/Microsoft.PowerShell", ps);
            wsinfo.AuthenticationMechanism = AuthenticationMechanism.Basic;
            wsinfo.ProxyAuthentication = AuthenticationMechanism.Negotiate;
            return wsinfo;
        }

Somewhere in your application there is a line of code that has a bad parameter. Identify that and you are on your way to a solution.

But thats the issue. I've compared it with numerous code examples and this should be working.

Example:
https://com2kid.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/remotely-executing-commands-in-powershell-using-c/[^]

[^]

The only thing I can think of is that this is a Server 2012 R2 box and wondering if there is something funky with the security. I haven't tried to a 2008 R2 box yet but plan on doing that today.

Maybe so, but you still need to do some debugging to find out why it isn't.

Well it turns out the code actually does work. I'm not able to get it to work running it from my Server 2012 R2 lab server but from my 2008 R2 lab server it runs fine. I'll have to do some more investigating but at least I know the code is right!

Thanks!

How can I create a nested TreeView for Windows 8.1 app , data will be bind at runtime using C#? There is no Treeview Control in Windows 8.1 Development.

I'm not sure if this will meet your needs, but: [^].

And, when use the term "nested," what does that mean: isn't a TreeView an example of a structure designed to express "nesting" already ?

I don't work with XAML or RT, but I know one developer who uses the GroupedGridView to represent hierarchy: [^].

Where is the problem?

If my post helps you kindly save my time by voting my post.

"It doesn't work" does not really help. As is, I'd be guessing that the order in which the columns are drawn are the opposite of what you want to achieve. That's simple; reverse the loop that does the drawing.

Hi,

I have Cisco PBX outputing date in NTP format like this:

09:47:55.999 BAH Sun Dec 7 2014
10:06:58.245 BAH Sun Dec 7 2014
11:21:18.723 BAH Sun Dec 7 2014

I want to know how can I convert it to UTC format in order to save it to MySQL database datetime field?

Thanks,
Jassim

Technology News @ www.JassimRahma.com

A quick look at the documentation[^] will show you.

Assuming the format you want is ISO 8601 [^]:

09:47:55.999 BAH Sun Dec 7 2014

Should be transformed into: YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD

2014-12-07T09:47:55.999+03:00

Hi guys!
When i create my project, i want to display a single page in a c# WinForms, same as a website, when i click on an item of navibar, other page will display. I have already tried to search but i can't find out.
Like this <a href="http://paulstovell.com/blog/wpf-navigation"></a>
Can you point me control or library extended in c# to do that, not MDI form?
Thanks!

Where are your 'pages' coming from and how are you switching between them?

My app UI same as https://www.dropbox.com/s/13m2mho1u0qzmix/question.png?dl=0[^]
In winforms, i have a single main form contain a tab control, when you click on items in sidebar, new page will be display in this tabpage. How can do it in c# winforms?

Presumably, by calling some methods, or setting some properties in the tab control. Your question is far from clear.

Hello Everyone,

I have run into a coding problem that has been driving me crazy for two days. I am running a console project from within my C# project using Process.Start() and trying to read the output into a string in my project. I have tried everything that I have found on the internet over the last two days and nothing works. Always returning an empty string. I have tried both synchronous and asynchronous methods and everything in between ie reading standarderror as well as standoutput. The exe that is being called is codegen.exe which is the compiled binary for creating a song fingerprint in Echoprint.

I can run this from a code prompt and it works perfectly every time outputting a fingerprint string. I am running windows 7 / VS2013 Express. The funny thing is, I have the source code for the codegen.exe and the data being output to the console is using nothing other than printf statements so there is nothing surprising going on there.

I did try doing a simple call to cmd.exe with "dir" argument and it responds correctly and fills my string with its output.

I am hoping that someone can suggest something that I have not yet tried, however I have tried all the different examples from MSDN as well as the internet.

Perhaps some one has had a similar issue and can offer some suggestions or point me in a different direction.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have never used EchoPrint, or launched a Console Application using Process.Start from within a WinForms project, so what follows may be irrelevant, or useless, but, given the fact you've done thorough searching, and haven't come up with anything, and on the odd chance it may be helpful, I'll put it out here.

If I find out this is not relevant, I'll remove this message, and my "feelings" will not be "hurt" Smile | :)

Is it possible that if you launch a Console from a C# project using the 'AllocConsole API, you can then, somehow, get that Console running codegen.exe ... so you would, then, be able to interact ?

Your C# project is WinForms, or WPF, or C++ ?

The 'AllocConsole API works for me (only tested in .NET 4.5) to enable two-way interaction between a Win Form and a Console it launches:

C#

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
private static extern bool AllocConsole(); 

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AllocConsole();

    MessageBox.Show(ConsoleWriteAndReadLine(new string[]{"arg 1","arg 2","arg 3"}));
}

private string ConsoleWriteAndReadLine(string[] values)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Command line = {0}", Environment.CommandLine);

    for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("argument{0} = {1}", i + 1, values[i]);
    }

    Console.Write("? ");

    return Console.ReadLine(); 
}

Perhaps the techniques shown in this CodeProject article would be helpful: [^] ?

Thanks Bill,

The project is a WinForms project and this is a code snippet from MSDN on how to do exactly what I want to do. But it never works.

C#

// Start the child process.
 Process p = new Process();
 // Redirect the output stream of the child process.
 p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
 p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
 p.StartInfo.FileName = "Write500Lines.exe";
 p.Start();
 // Do not wait for the child process to exit before
 // reading to the end of its redirected stream.
 // p.WaitForExit();
 // Read the output stream first and then wait.
 string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
 p.WaitForExit();

This is the latest iteration that I tried which I found on the web.

XML

using (var process = new Process())
            {

                process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
                process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                process.StartInfo.FileName = "Codegen.exe";
                process.StartInfo.Arguments = open.FileName + " 10 30";

                process.Start();

                //Thread.Sleep(100);

                using (Task processWaiter = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => process.WaitForExit()))
                using (Task<string> outputReader = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => process.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()))
                using (Task<string> errorReader = Task.Factory.StartNew(() => process.StandardError.ReadToEnd()))
                {
                    Task.WaitAll(processWaiter, outputReader, errorReader);

                    standardOutput = outputReader.Result;
                    standardError = errorReader.Result;
                }

Wish I could be more helpful, Ray, but you're traveling in terra incognita for me. I was surprised I could get two-way interaction working starting-up the Console with 'AllocConsole.

Hopefully, one our deeply knowledgeable wizards will show up, soon, with the right incantations.

cheers, Bill
