I am trying to make a bot for an external application, in first i used to sendkeys (^a ^c) To the application window after clicking In middle of chat , then get the text from my clipboard And store it in file then read it and answer by sendkeys , and i do all of That under timer control I do all these tasks every 1 second , recently i was searching on another way to do it Because using Sendkeys is taking my processor and pc is going to be more slow further I can't use my pc when my bot is working , after long Search i have found UI automation Which i can access control's another application and get/set text I have found way how to Do it with a notepad , but i don't know or it didn't work for my application I used the below code to get the text from a notepad ,i Want to know the changes I have to do in the code to work in my application , i have downloaded Autoit and spy++
<pre>private void btn_getText_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PropertyCondition idCond = new PropertyCondition(AutomationElement.AutomationIdProperty,"15");
AutomationElement nameTxt = mainWnd.FindFirst(TreeScope.Descendants, idCond);
if (nameTxt != null)
{
TextPattern txtPattern = nameTxt.GetCurrentPattern(TextPattern.Pattern) as TextPattern;
txt_output.Text = txtPattern.DocumentRange.GetText(-1);
}
}</pre>
I have found , if the application does not support ui textpatteren , it won't work but i don't know how to know that , i don't know The platform of the application made from.
The application i was trying to get text from it www.RankedGaming.Com
Here is a screen shot of the application https://prnt.sc/ruxo2m We type the textbot down and the messages are going to be shown In the top of chat , even i don't know what is that tool Its not going to be written inside its just for read.

How to read/load a certificate stored in a JKS (Java key stores) file format, in .NET (C#) ?
after loading JKS how to validate certificate in .NET (C#) ?
|
|
|
|
|
It's been a long time since I researched it and wrote code for it.
But I had to create a certificate, and use Linux OpenSSL to convert the certificate to a fully loaded PFX file.
Then wrote a config file called certificate.Development.json and certificate.Production.json so the right certificate would load based on deployment.
As far as validation goes, for me it was a matter of writing code to load, and fine tuning the certificate so it would load, or else it failed to load because it was invalid.
var certificateSettings = config.GetSection("certificateSettings");
var certificateFileName = certificateSettings.GetValue<string>("filename");
var certificatePassword = certificateSettings.GetValue<string>("password");
var certBuffer = File.ReadAllBytes(certificateFileName);
var serverCert = new X509Certificate2(certBuffer, certificatePassword);
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Hi,
I am reading pulses of nearly 40 sensors in my program. I want to calculate 40parameters based on real-time pulses and also nearly 1000 real-time parameters with calculation formula contained some constant and values calculated based on sensors pulses as the formula variables.
1- The first question is: Is it a good way to use from background running data tables in some datasets to perform all of these tasks at least every one second? what is the best way to perform the described affair?
2- I also want to make a link between data tables columns that when data in other tables inserted, they collect in a table based on one of the columns. For Example, I have the same column in all tables like an auto number, I want to collect data in a collector table automatically with joining (make relation among) tables.
Thank you in advance for your answers

Use a "one second timer". The timer event calls a method that samples each sensor and does any "aggregating". If it matters, you need to disable / enable the timer on each tick and compensate if necessary (in case of possible reentrancy).

I would definitely disable the timer upon entry to the method!
Assuming you are not storing the sensor details every second.
Once you have done the processing store the results in the database, associated tables with foreign key relationships are a basic operation.
Store the primary record
Get the ID from the just inserted record
insert the related records with the primary key.
wrap the entire operation in a transaction and/or use a stored procedure

I wouldn't use a System.Timer because the timer events are the lowest priority events in Windows, so a busy system will ignore/skip events in favor of more important work. I think a thread for each sensor to accept/store new data in the database would be a better solution.
As far as visualizing the data, I would either make the user request new data (with a button click), or set up another thread that reads the new data at a regular interval. The length of the interval would be entirely dependent on the level of performance of your hardware and network (if your database is on a separate machine).

I would have thought that 40+ threads on a single machine would have been an issue.

really depends on the machine i think. On a reasonably powerful machine with a quad core cpu (or better) and at least 16gb of ram, it should be okay. You can always set the CPU affinity for each thread if you need to.

Ok, very basic to you guys but I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
I'm making a parking lot windows forms project and have a class structure of:
Vehicle
Car:Vehicle
Van:Vehicle
etc.
Then a ParkingLot class which declares a private Dictionary collection of type <string, vehicle=""> to store all the instances. The key is a parking space code e.g. A1, A2, B1, B2 etc, which then returns the vehicle object associated with that slot in the parking lot.
I've made the dictionary private so that all of the functionality is contained in the parkinglot class and the form button presses etc only update the dictionary via public methods in that class for abstraction/separation of concerns (if that's the correct terminology!). The contents of the dictionary are currently displayed in a textbox by calling a parkinglot.displayinventory method which loops through the dictionary items and uses a stringbuilder to create and return the details of all the items to display in the textbox.
All was fine, however, now I want to change it to display the contents in a listbox rather than a text box and now I'm questioning whether using a dictionary object was a good idea (I was thinking of the efficiency of retrieval O(1) of dictionary vs O(n) of list and all that).
Should I just use a public List<vehicle> which I can then bind to the listbox? But then I thought from an abstraction point of view, having the list of items accessible from the form/view was a bad thing?? Should I stick with a private dictionary for efficient retrieval and create and return a readonlycollection object from the displayinventory method for binding (or something similar)?
It's been a while since I've worked with collections and classes and things like this and I've confused myself no end with something so simple! Any tips much appreciated

Hi,
I see no fundamental difference between displaying vehicular text in a TextBox and the same in a ListBox.
You never have to use binding, but you can.
Without using any binding, you can iterate your Dictionary and build a string for each Vehicle (I'd say your Vehicle.ToString method should serve that purpose), then add that string to the ListBox.Items
Or indeed you can set up a List of Vehicles and use binding; I know I wouldn't, as I don't like creating a second collection with all the risks of getting out of sync... You could consider using Dictionary.Values as the list of items to be displayed; depends on how you handle empty spots I guess.
PS: the one advantage of using a ListBox, if your app would need that, is that you can actually paint some graphics in a ListBox item (an icon, a picture, whatever); a ListBox collects objects, they don't have to be strings! It would require you to add the actual Vehicles to the ListBox.Items, your ListBox to be set to UserDrawn mode, and you to implement a DrawItem handler.
PS2: can you store a couple of bikes in one spot?

Thanks Luc. Yes, I could just iterate through the dictionary and populate the listbox but my concern is that I would be exposing the 'master' collection to the form. From an abstraction point of view I was trying to avoid this and only allowing a method (parkinglot.displayitems) to output the contents of the dictionary in a read only form (currently a string that is formatted ready to just display in the textbox)... this is where I've now got confused! Do I just return a copy of the dictionary from this method or some other collection (which I can then iterate through or bind to), or do I just expose the master dictionary object? I'm trying to follow/show good design practices with this project :-/

When you return a collection of objects basically it is an array of pointers. Making the collection read-only protects the array, not its elements (the objects it refers to). So whatever you do, as long as you export instances of Vehicle, they become public and modifiable.
There are two ways to remedy this:
1. Create and export a deep copy: build a new collection with copies of your Vehicles. Now if Vehicle contains references (say to a Manufacturer class), then these objects must be deep copied too. That soon gets very cumbersome.
2. Create and export exactly the information you need, in a data structure that isn't otherwise used in your ParkingLot class. In this case that would be a list of strings. And then you should create this data each time it is requested, you should not store it inside ParkingLot and just pass a pointer, as then one client could still falsify the information another client gets.
Either way, the clean approach is to provide a ParkingLot property or method that creates and returns the information required; and then you can use that any way you want, no harm can be done to the ParkingLot.
The one thing you probably would also need is a way to signal the outside world your ParkingLot has changed. An event seems appropriate here.

Ah, yes, of course they are. Completely forgot it just stores pointers to the objects. Thanks for pointing that out!!
As I said, it's been a while! Thanks for your help

Personally I would use a List<vehicle> and binding, but then I use WPF not winforms. I find List<> to much more maintainable and manageable.
I would also not allow database/binding or list/dictionary efficiency to influence my decision with such a small number if items.

Performance is not an issue, even with thousands of dictionary entries.
Your "parking lot" class is in effect your "data repository", and you can use a similar pattern for that. Ultimately, your "backing store" may be be XML or a data base; if a "client" needs a "list", they get a list; if they want to "empty" a parking spot, there's a method for that, etc. The client doesn't care what the backing store looks like, it just wants what it needs.
And as Luc pointed out, it's all references to existing objects unless you're cloning.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

I would suggest you model a "parking lot business:"
PLotBusiness
Finances ?
PLotData : map vehicles to locations, status, etc.
VehicleManager
Cars
Vans
PLotManager
SpacesI would use methods in these classes that returned collections, or datatables, for binding to Controls as necessary.
imho, the separation of concerns in this model is desirable. "Let the atoms remain ignorant of how they are used in molecules," I once said 
for UI design, think about the end-user: their technical depth, their role, their needs, security ...

Expose a Cars property:
public IEnumerable<Vehicle> Cars { get { return _dictionary.Values; } }
(This assumes:
private Dictionary<string, Vehicle> _dictionary; )
Bind parkingLot.Cars to your listbox.
Make sure Vehicle has a ToString() which renders it as you want it to appear in the listbox.

James

Hello friends. I have a big problem..
Know about C# FlowLayoutPanel Controls how to filter sql query use?

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
So typing as little as possible help no-one - we don't even know what kind of app you are writing, so we can't give you any specific information!
Try again, this time explaining as if to someone who knows absolutely nothing about your project and is at the other end of a telephone.
Tell us what you have tried, where you are stuck, what help you need - and be specific!

FlowLayoutPanel has absolutely nothing to do with filtering records. All it does is affect how contained controls are laid out on the form.

Dear All,
I am beginner in C# and I am building an application to create a workbook (Book1.xlsx) then copy a specific sheet from another workbook ( Book2.xlsx ).
I created Book1 but I am trying to copy Sheet1 from Book2 but I could not.
before copying [Sheet1 from Book2 ] I am dong a kind of check to collect names for all opened workbooks so I could not be able to get names of workbooks which opened by Visual Studio c# by the below piece of code but If will open the same workbooks by myself I found the below code can get the name of opened workbooks without problem.
I don't know why.
public void CopyAsiRefSheet()
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application XAPP;
XAPP = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook WB in XAPP.Workbooks)
{
MessageBox.Show(WB.Name);
}
}
Thanks,
Moelsayed
