WSDL question

When I developing my webservice can I edit WSDL file? I can't find this file in the folder of XML application.It create in my consumer application when I addd reference to it, so does this file create on the server?

The WSDL is generated by passing a parameter to the webservice's .asmx file.

For the CP webservice (http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/latest.asmx) the WSDL is at: http://www.codeproject.com/webservices/latest.asmx?WSDL

Mazdak wrote:

I don't think so, I think .NET always generates the WSDL file based on what the webservice offers.

Do a search for the wsdl file

or using the .net prompt type
wsdl /language:CS /out:<filename>.cs <webservicename>.wsdl

this creates your wsdl file or just do a serach for *.wsdl

its an xml file so you can easily edit it in vs, notepad, xml spy or whatever although I dont know of any valid reason to.

you can do it throuogh the IDE and then just edit it there

code for email address validation on logon web application

10-Aug-03 9:53

Its created based on your asmx file. What exactly are you trying to do so I can fully understand why you are trying to change it.

You might want to change the web service attributes in your class inorder to change that file. Because it is created based on your your web attributes and what not. Are you trying to build custom wsdl by client or what?

Hello all
I'm trying to create a logon web application and would like to check the validity of a new user's email address...
apart from string searching for '@' and '.' etc
I would like to check that the server exists and that there is an account for the new user (maybe use a ping somehow)

Thanks a lot

Finding Char Index in current line

.gonad9-Aug-03 2:35

9-Aug-03 2:35

this code shows me the current line and character index in a richtextbox control. the char index, however, is counted from position 0 at line 0 but i need the char index to start from 0 at each line and NOT from line 0.

how can i do this?

private void rtb1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
//Shows the current Line of selection<br />
int Line = rtb1.GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb1.SelectionStart);<br />
MessageBox.Show(Line.ToString());<br />
				<br />
//Shows the Character Index of the selection<br />
int pos = rtb1.GetCharIndexFromPosition(new Point(e.X, e.Y));<br />
MessageBox.Show(pos.ToString());<br />
<br />
}

Thanks for your help.

Re: Finding Char Index in current line

Ista9-Aug-03 5:12

9-Aug-03 5:12

the only way I might see is if you do this:

int Line = rtb1.GetLineFromCharIndex(rtb1.SelectionStart);

int pos = rtb1.SelectionStart;

while ( (newLine = rtb1.GetLineFromCharIndex(pos--) == Line)

MessageBox.Show("The beginning char index of the line is " + ++pos.ToString());

now that code is not tested I just typed it in but it should work for the char index of the first Line

MessageBox.Show(String.Format("Your caret is {0} characters away from the beginning",rtf1.SelectionStart - pos);

Hi,

I'm working on a POS project using C# .NET. For now, I don't have a barcode reader and a receipt printer which are definitly a MUST for a POS system in the future.

I would like to know the nature of these two things, so that when i program the POS system, I know how to program as a way of using these two things.

I cannot purchase these two items before the completion of the project. So, I totally cannot try in my program or even know what it is. I want to program my system so that i do not need to have a big modification when i purchase these two things afterward.

Please help!

I have worked on a few POS systems in the past.

There are a few things to take into consideration.

1. What type of barcode scanner do you plan to use. If you are using a a wedge reader then the data that is read will be just like pasting a block of text into a edit box and it can be read simply. If the scanner is a COM port based scanner you will need to write a device driver or serial port capture routines to read the data. There is a good serail port class on this site http://www.codeproject.com/system/cserialport.asp.

2. Which barcode will you be using ??? Sometimes the barcode will contain additional characters that you are not interested in. The data that will be read in may have an extra characters at the start and/or end (e.g. check digit) depending on the barcode type and reader. Usually POS systems use the barcode EAN-13 (european standard) or EAN-8 (Which I think is the US standard)

3. POS Printer. You can simulate having a POS Printer. Do you have access to a printer? The only real programming difference between a POS printer is the width of the paper. You can setup your printer with a custom size paper that matches the width of the intended POS reciept printer and it will be just as if you has the receipt printer.

Hope this helps.

I don't know. But i think I will look for some reader that support USB. And I heard from someone that some reader plug into the PS/2 port (for keyboard or mouse..). Am I thinking something right?

AdrianT wrote:

What is wedge reader? OMG | :OMG:

(i guess normal reader that plug in keyboard wedge or USB? i saw something: USB Adapter for Keyboard Wedge Barcode Scanners from web http://www.skandata.com/usb.html. So I guess wedge is that "plug" for keyboard??!! )

AdrianT wrote:

Is that mean after reading the barcode, it just acts as a person typing character from keyboard or number pad then leave it there? (no return or ENTER signal?)

AdrianT wrote:

I think I will use the American standard (i'm in Canada). Since it is a bookstore POS, I will use the barcode behind each books or cards and print some barcodes by my own for other items (such as gift)

AdrianT wrote:

That means i can just set the page size as small as a receipt, then use my home printer to simulate it...right? Oh.....easy...haha...

interface method access modifier

9-Aug-03 12:15

if its an object why not include general methods that can be adapted later

I'm not an expert yet, but I play one at work. Yeah and here too.

devvvy8-Aug-03 17:13

hi,

QUESTION 1: i understand you can add modifier to interface:

public interface IA
{
public void DoA(); //Yes, I understand this is INVALID - so, I didnt do this.
void DoB();
void DoC();

double salary
{
get;
}

}

But I thought access modifier is OK when you declare implementation in class? I tried access access modifier in class but the compiler keep bitching that it's NOT legal to do so - and it didnt provide error code (like C1324)! See "QUESTION" below:

public class Capitalist : IA, IB, ICapitalist //QUESTION 2: Can you specify public/private... in interface inheritance? How?
{
//Implement interface IA:
public void IA.DoA() //QUESTION 1: compiler complained here!!
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IA.DoA");
return;
}

void IA.DoB() //This, on the other hand, is oK.
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IA.DoB");
return;
}
... and the rest of it ...
}

THanks!

    string GetName(int y);
}

public class CAbc : IAbc

You can append access modifer when you implement it in a class, PROVIDED that the interface is not the base interface of another interface that the class implements.

Using example below, IAccMaintenance is the base interface of IAccManager:

interface IAccMaintenance
{
int EditAccProfile(...); //DO NOT append access modifer to this method when you implement it.
}

interface IAccManager : IAccMaintenance
{
...
}

Now, when you implement it in a class:
class SiteManager : IAccManager
{
public int IAccManager.CreateAcc(...) {...} //That's OK. You can use access modifier here.
public int EditAccProfile(...) {...} //ERROR: You can't use access modifier - the method comes from an interface that's not directly inherited. But why would .NET team design it this way???

...
}

***********************************************************************
In case you want to just compile the code and see...

public interface IAccMaintenance
{
int EditAccProfile(int accID);

int DestroyAcc(int accID);

int numAccount

int Disconn(int connID);

From MSDN[^]:
All interface members implicitly have public access. It is a compile-time error for interface member declarations to include any modifiers. In particular, interfaces members cannot be declared with the modifiers abstract, public, protected, internal, private, virtual, override, or static.

Hope this helps.

i know. That's why I didn't add any access modifier in interface declaration. But in the class that implements it... the code is below, compile it and see for yourself:

using System;

namespace deda
{ //namespace deda

public interface IA
{
void DoA();
void DoB();
void DoC();

double salary
{
get;
}

}

public interface IB : IA
{
new void DoA();
}

public interface ICapitalist
{
void HireSlave();
void FireSlave();
}

public class Capitalist : IA, IB, ICapitalist
{
//Implement interface IA:
public void IA.DoA()
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IA.DoA");
return;
}

void IA.DoB()
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IA.DoB");
return;
}

void IA.DoC()
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IA.DoC");
return;
}

public double salary {
get{ return m_salary;}
}

//Implement interface IB:
void IB.DoA()
{
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist.IB.DoA");
return;
}

//Implement interface ICapitalist:
void ICapitalist.HireSlave(){
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist hiring");
return;

void ICapitalist.FireSlave(){
Console.WriteLine("Capitalist layoff people");
