Hi, I trying to run a registered version of WinZip 8.1 via a SOAP Service written in C# with Visual Studio 2002.
And I am trying to unzip a file on the server using a soap service call
When I take the code out of the SOAP service and try to run it on my local machine as is it works, on the server that the SOAP service is running on all I get is the executable being run in the background and only visible through the Task Manager, but no files being unzipped. The command line that I actually run does work if I run it from the command promt on the server.
sFileName = "\Temp\QNH007983.zip"
sRootFolder = "\Sat\"
Zip command being run 'winzip32.exe-e "C:\Temp\QNH007983.zip" "C:\Temp\Sat\"'
ExtractZipFile( @"\Temp\QNH007983.zip", @"\Sat");
private string ExtractZipFile(string sFileName, string sRootFolder)
{
try
{
string emuPath = "winzip32.exe";
//string emuParams = " -min -e \"C:" + sFileName+ "\" \"C:" + sRootFolder + "\""; //run minimised
string emuParams = "-e \"C:" + sFileName+ "\" \"C:" + sRootFolder + "\"";
ZipFileCall = emuPath + emuParams;
Process p = new Process();
ProcessStartInfo psI = new ProcessStartInfo( emuPath , emuParams);
psI.CreateNoWindow = false;
psI.UseShellExecute = true;
p.StartInfo = psI;
p.Start();
return sFileName;
}
catch
{
return "Failed - to save zip file";
}
}
thanks in advance

In my application, I want to read images which are in the PNG format, 256 colors, with transparency, store them in memory and then display them on screen.
So I do something like that :
Bitmap[,] myBitmapArray;
...
myBitmapArray[i,j] = new Bitmap ("FileName.png");
...
graphics.DrawImage(myBitmapArray[i,j]);
The pb is my application takes 100 Mb in memory to load the pictures, which are only 4 Mb in the files 
Apparently, when loading a picture, there is no format specifier. So I thought it should use the file, but when looking at the PixelFormat member, it's always 32bpp...
So I have tried to create the bitmap another way,
like new Bitmap (128,64, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.PixelFormat8bppIndexed), and then copy my image from the file here.
But :
- If I use 16bpp555, I lose the transparency
- If I use 16bpp1555, JIT debugging tells me "out of memory"
- If I use 8bppIndexed, JIT debugging tells me I cannot create a graphics (graphics.FromImage -> error).
How can I load my 256 color files and draw them in a picture box, without taking so much memory because they are transformed in true color?

i think you mean Format16bppArgb1555?
you could hack it an store the byte[] data from the image in an array, and then only create the bitmap when you need it..
"When the only tool you have is a hammer, a sore thumb you will have."

I've made some further testing, and discovered it comes from the format.
With two similar picture, 256 colors,one is png the other is gif
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap("Myfile.png");
-> bitmap.PixelFormat = PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap("Myfile.gif");
-> bitmap.PixelFormat = PixelFormat.Format8bppIndexed
Conclusion :
The png codec is "buggy" and if you use the standard constructor, the bitmap ignore the file attributes and is always 32bppp.
The gif coded works OK, and the bitmap keeps the file attributes.
With this, I've reduced my application memory usage by 60%

I want to convert a text based protocol into XML, using C#, how do I do that in the best maner ?
Can I use XSLT in any way ? or do I have to make an parser that converts the file manually ?
An example of the text file:

hi evey one,
I have a problem with RichTextBox in System.Windows.Forms.
the function SuspendLayout() and ResumeLayout() doesn't work!!!
Did I do something wrong?
And what is the solution when I want to cancle the drawing of this control?
Thank you in advanced,
Eran.
|
|
|
|
|
Don't know much about the RichTextBox, but you can hide the control instead of suspending layout, and show it again instead of resuming layout. This even works on COM controls, so I think it shouldt do for all other controls, too.

hi
can we fill the list directly with help of data set if yes plz do let me know ji 
Thx
Work Hard and Test your Luck

Which kind of "list" ?
you can get the Rows of a Table as an Array, and you can make an "for each row"... 
but not sure what do you mean by "list", "list box" ?.
Greetings

Is it possible to do drawing somewhere on our Fome with Managed DirectX, for example on a Panel or PictureBox control? If so, is there any quick tutorial anywhere?
Don't forget, that's Persian Gulf not Arabian gulf!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes there is.
See the examples supplied with the DirectX9 SDK
|
|
|
|
|
But there, all drawing is done on whole the Form, but not on smaller areas such as a Panel.

at C# of environment use DateDiff() function
|
|
|
|
|
C# does not need a DateDiff() function.
You can add and substract DateTime objects, which results in a TimeSpan object:
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - dtAnytime;

Hi, I am trying to get my head around safe thread synchronization.
I think the code below is not thread safe as the Start() method may be called several times which would cause the event to be fired asynchronously.
Any comments?
public class ThreadTest1
{
public void Start()
{
Thread thread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(ThreadMethod));
thread.Start();
}
private void ThreadMethod()
{
while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
OnEvent(EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
public event EventHandler Event;
protected virtual void OnEvent(EventArgs e)
{
if (Event != null)
{
Event(this, e);
}
}
}
Would the code below be safe?
I have wrapped the event code in a locked block.
public class ThreadTest2
{
public void Start()
{
Thread thread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(ThreadMethod));
thread.Start();
}
private void ThreadMethod()
{
while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
DoEvent();
}
}
private void DoEvent()
{
lock (this)
{
OnEvent(EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
public event EventHandler Event;
protected virtual void OnEvent(EventArgs e)
{
if (Event != null)
{
Event(this, e);
}
}
}
Any comments would be appreciated

 I don't see anything shared between threads here. So there is no need to use Lock statement here, as I understand.
Don't forget, that's Persian Gulf not Arabian gulf!
|
|
|
|
|
I think that the problem is that the event code is called by many threads. I want the event code to be executed by only one thread at a time.
If I had replaced the code:
OnEvent(EventArgs.Empty);
in the first example with the following:
MyForm.Text = "A Caption";
then the rules for safe thread practices would clearly be broken.
|
|
|
|
|
Here, if you have only one CPU, it's impossible for two events be invoked simultaneously! It seems you have misunderstood the usage of lock statement? or am I wrong?!
Don't forget, that's Persian Gulf not Arabian gulf!
|
|

|

Well you cant write code assuming only one CPU. I have dual CPUs.
Perhaps I have not put my question clearly enougth.
I have a method that is called from many threads. I want to ensure that only one thread has access to the method at any one time.
Heres another example:
public class ThreadTest1
{
public void Start()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
Thread thread = new Thread( new ThreadStart(ThreadMethod));
thread.Start();
}
}
private void ThreadMethod()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
Testing();
}
}
private void Testing()
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter");
Thread.Sleep(10);
Console.WriteLine("Exit");
}
}
The console output ... or part of it at least, looks like this:
Enter
Exit
Enter
Enter
Exit
Exit
The output I want is this:
Enter
Exit
Enter
Exit
Enter
Exit
How would I modify the code above to do this?

Although the execution of multiple events cannot be performed simultaneously on a single CPU, they can certainly be interlaced since they are executing on separate threads. The usage of synchronization techniques still applies. Furthermore, making assumptions about the hardware and how it relates to thread synchronization is a dangerous road to go down.

Thanks for these comments.
From the comments made earlier I was starting to think that my understanding of the need for synchronization was completely wrong. Your comments have really cleared things up for me.
|
|
|
|

I would intentionally leave the ThreadTest class unsafe for multithreading. Inform the subscribers of this class' event that it is executed on another thread. Let the subscribers handle their own synchronization. Remember, the ThreadTest class is not safe for multithreading so that means subscribing and unsubscribing to the event is also not safe multithreading. Here's how the code might look...
public class ThreadTest
{
public event EventHandler MyEvent;
public void Start()
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(this.ThreadMethod));
thread.Start();
}
private void ThreadMethod()
{
while (true)
{
Thread.Sleep(1000);
if (MyEvent != null) MyEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}
public class Subscriber
{
public void Run()
{
ThreadTest test = new ThreadTest();
test.MyEvent += new EventHandler(this.OnEvent);
test.Start();
test.Start();
test.Start();
}
public void OnEvent(object source, EventArgs e)
{
lock (this)
{
}
}
}
|

Thanks for the suggestions Brian. This is just the sort of help I was after.

Hummmm, but because of one reason, you may need to use lock in your first example.
Consider below situation:
A thread(say thread_A) reaches here:
if (<code>Event </code>!= null){
<code>Event</code>(<code>this</code>, <code>e</code>);
}
thread_A checks and sees that Event is not null, and goes to fire Event(this, e). But before calling it, its time slice terminates. Now suppose that in our main application, by using -= operator the Event gets null. Now it's thread_A's turn to continue. But an exception will be fired by calling Event(this, e). This will not happen be using below code:
lock(this){
if (<code>Event </code>!= null){
<code>Event</code>(this, e);
}
}
I am wondered why below code doesn't lock the Event and the exception would occur:
lock(<code>Event</code>){
if (<code>Event </code>!= null){
<code>Event</code>(this, e);
}
}
