You need to use a DataAdapter (for this, I'll assume a SqlDataAdapter and related classes) with SelectCommand, InsertCommand, UpdateCommand, and DeleteCommand properties assigned. If you use a simple SELECT query (i.e., no JOINs or nested SELECTs) you can use a SqlCommandBuilder to generate the other 3 SqlCommand properties from the SqlCommand for the SqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand property. These commands must also be parameterized.
You can also use the VS.NET designers to create the SqlDataAdapter and all the SqlCommands for you. You can drag a DataSet (which can be strongly-typed) or SqlDataAdapter from the "Data" tab of your toolbox when a component is open in the designer. Play around with this, though I recommend you examine the code that is generated in the source file to understand what it going on.

Hi All,
is it possible to implement a drag & drop interface in C#. And if so can anyone point me to a tutorial or give me some tips. I need to be able to drap an item from a list box and drop it on a button which will envoke the click action of the button on the item dragged from the list box. Any takers?  ,
Regards,
John

Take a look at "AllowDrop", "DragDrop", "DragEnter", "DragLeave", and "DragOver". They are part of System.Windows.Forms.Control, and so are inherited by all the visible controls on a form.

See the Control.DoDragDrop method for information and an example.
Basically, you pack information into an IDataObject impementation (like the DataObject class provided in the base class library) and identity it with a simple string known as a clipboard format (this is covered in more details in the Platform SDK, though THAT IDataObject is different, but the concepts are the same). Handle the DragOver and DragDrop events on your button such that you check for the existence of this clipboard format:
private void button_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Data.GetDataPresent("MyCustomFormat") &&
(e.AllowedEffect & DragDropEffects.Link) != 0)
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Link;
}
private void button_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
if ((e.AllowedEffect & DragDropEffects.Link) != 0)
{
object o = e.Data.GetData("MyCustomFormat");
if (o != null)
{
this.currentListItem = o;
this.button_Click(sender, EventArgs.Empty);
}
}
}

Hey
I am building a Server/Client program that sends object between them.
I have made a Client class that hold al the information the server need to have about the client. This clas Client includes socket.
Maby its stupid to have the socket to the client in this class but right now i am only testing things to se what i can send and how.
Anyway, I need to Serializ this class(client), but it says that socket cant be Serialized, is there any way to get around this?
//SnowJi,

First of all, you shouldn't serialize the Socket itself, but perhaps information about the socket. To be serializable, a class (the class you instantiate, not any base classes) must be attributed with SerializableAttribute. If you want to control serialization, implement the ISerializable interface. See the documentation for the ISerializable interface in the .NET Framework SDK for more information, such as implementing the special constructor used for deserializing information. By implementing this interface, you could just serializing certain properties about the socket. See Serializing Objects[^] in MSDN for more information.
Second, you should take a look at .NET Remoting. It is the de facto way in .NET to talk to different AppDomains (contexts in which applications run, which obviously your client and server are in different contexts). It takes care serialization (so long as you follow the same serialization rules I mentioned above) and transportation across TCP, HTTP, or any custom transport channel using SOAP, binary, or any custom serialization formatter you want. See .NET Remoting Overview[^] for more information about remoting.

I need to download HTML pages from a website. These pages require username/password access which I DO have. The problem is, the website sets a persistent cookie in my Cookies folder and it's encrypted, so I can't read it's content.
How can I automate the download of these pages but not through internet explorer? In other words, how can I make WebClient/HttpWebRequest read the persistent cookie in my local folder?
If I can't do that, then how do I do it?!
Thanks.

First of all, the cookie should NOT have the password contained within it. This is very insecure. The web site should authenticate the credentials in whatever way is fit (say, BASIC authentication of HTTPS) and return a ticket that signifies that the credentials have been authenticated. This is the underlying concept of authentication.
Second, if you have the username and password, you could make the call to the web server to get the ticket and that should return you the cookie. In order to accept the cookie, though, your HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer must be initialized:
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://www.codeproject.com");
request.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();This example if very basic, but you can find more information in the documentation for HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer.
Additionally, you can also pass the username and password to the initial request to avoid making several requests. You'll still need the initialized CookieContainer to store the response cookies (and use that over for every request and response), but you can put the username, password, and domain in a NetworkCredential and assign that to the HttpWebRequest.Credentials property before getting the response (which commits the request). See the documentation for the HttpWebRequest.Credentials property in the .NET Framework SDK for more information.

I'm going nuts 
Nothing is working. The URL I'm trying to get is the following:
http://search-completed.ebay.com/search/search.dll?GetResult&sosortorder=2&sacategory=29278
It retrieves certain completed auctions from eBay.
This URL however, results in a page that says: you have to sign in. I get the source of this page, I see that it gets a posting (username/password) from you, and redirects you to the original page you were requesting. I post this data, it gives me a Redirect Error, although I have HttpWebRequest.AllowAutoRedirect set to true. I also tried KeepAlive = true/false. No luck.
So, I try posting my username/password to http://signin.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll which is the sign in page, and getting the cookies returned. It gives me a Cookie Error page, where it says my browser cannot accept cookies, although I did set CookieContainer of my HttpWebRequest.
What can I do?!!! If anyone wants to try:
username = booksbysammy
password = stupiddog
Thank you very much.

Okay, there's a few things I have to mention. When using form-based authentication, the HttpWebRequest.Credentials won't suffice. You either have to POST or GET data to the form action as you've discovered. I just wanted to mention this to be clear.
The problem looks like it doesn't recognize your user agent (the browser name and info). Fortunately, you can trick into thinking another browser is making a request (i.e., one that supports cookies) by the HttpWebRequest.UserAgent to something like "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)" and it will think Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP is making the request. This error might be making such assumptions because it's quicker than setting a cookie and checking for it in the next request (which requires making a request and getting a response twice). It's worth a try.

I'm sorry, I don't get you there. I don't use HttpWebRequest.Credentials at all in my code. Am I doing something wrong?

I was saying that when you use form-based authentication (like putting your credentials in a form online) the Credentials property won't work to pass your username and password. That only works for authentication protocols like BASIC or NTLM (and this is extensible, too).
Did you set the UserAgent before making the request to the ISAPI extension DLL on eBay to authenticate your credentials? Also, you should'be set an instance of the CookieContainer on the HttpWebRequest.CookieContainer property, too, but I believe you said you already did this.
Are you saving the request the web server returns? What exactly is the error message?

Well, it's not really an error message. The point is, after executing the following code, textBox1.Text contains the HTML source of an eBay page the says that my browser has rejected cookies, and there's a "Cookie Error" according to eBay. When I post these settings in Internet Explorer, that's not what I get of course!
By the way, there's one field I'm not adding to post data, which says <input type="submit" value="Sign In >">. As you can see, the submit button does not have a name assigned to it. I don't suppose that's the problem?!

Actually, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" uses the UTF-8 encoding, so use Encoding.UTF8 to get the bytes instead and see if that helps. Since you're only using ASCII characters, though, it might not. It's worth a try, anyway.
No, you don't have to set the object to null. Calling Close closes the stream (closes the native handle). The GC will clean it up once it goes out of scope and either the application is idle or garbage collecting is necessary.
Including that submit value shouldn't be necessary.
I'm really not sure what else to tell you. It should be working according to the documentation and from experience.
The only other thing I can think of is that there might be another cookie (like a session ID) that eBay is expecting. Log out of eBay using Internet Explorer and look at the Cookies directory for a file named username@ebay.com.txt or something like that. Open it in notepad and see what values it has (if any).

Okay, I didn't want to make the page look ugly, so I modified those lines of gibberish (inserted line breaks). So they're actually on one line originally.
A question out of topic please: Do you use IE to read these threads and reply to them? It seems to me that you should have some sort of client app that reads new threads off Code Project and lets you post directly?
Thanks again.

I figured they were wrapped.
I do use IE, yes. A better way than a separate program is to use an NNTP gateway (newsgroups) since these threads follow the same behavior already. Then you could use any NNTP client. Such a task isn't the easiest thing to do, though.

Hi,
I'm developing an Explorer bar using VS.NET 2003 (C#) on Windows XP. For
some time, I've noticed that I don't have filenames and line numbers
appearing in my exceptions' stack traces. On the other hand, debugging with
breakpoints, etc. seems to work fine in VS.NET 2003. I can't understand why
this isn't working -- and I think it used to work, perhaps under VS.NET
2002, but maybe not. The information doesn't appear in exceptions when
running under VS.NET or when not.
I am running my Explorer bar (which is a class library, not an application)
on the same machine (and user account) which built the library. The PDB
file is accessible to me, and its location does match the location in the
assembly. I am making Debug builds, and I do have "Generate debugging
information" enabled. As far as I can tell, the PDB and DLL files are
equally fresh and the same version?
Any tips? Is this a known bug? It's driving me batty trying to locate an
exception in code blocks without any help from line numbers.
Thanks!
Arun

When you debug your shell extension, are you debugging a new instance of the shell (explorer.exe)? If the release assembly was registered and the shell invoked it it will continue to use it until the reference count is zero. The only way to do this is kill your shell or be sure to start a new shell when debugging. So long as you're on the same machine, the PE/COFF header (not the assembly) will point to the path of the PDB for debug builds). Since you're sure that it's pointing to the right place, I figured the release version might be registered and running currently.
Otherwise, I can't think of any reason besides your debugging environment being hosed. If you're still getting runtime exceptions (which shouldn't happen in production code, of coruse) that prompt to start a debugger, I doubt this is the case.
If none of the above are the case, when debugging your app, look at the Output window. Do you see where it loads your assembly? Does it say "Symbols loaded" or something similar, or that they can't be found?

Thanks for responding. I do see "Symbols loaded" for my assembly when debugging my assembly, but even still, the line numbers don't appear in the exception's StackTrace.
I'm pretty sure that I'm using the Debug build, as I make a point of not popping up exception-laden message boxes in the release builds.
I even tried rebooting my computer yesterday after building and installing a new Debug release of my browser bar.... just in case.
I started a new solution for a Windows application and was able to get line numbers in the stack trace, so at least I know that the problem is limited to my solution.
