hi! can anyone show me how to make an expiration for a certain software where backtracking of dates (i.e. changing the system date) will not nullify the license.. also, the software will have a counter which counts how many times the software is being used.. thanks!!

Here what you need to check is, while generating lisence key, you need to use some other values to produce entire lisence key. Say combination of dates ,customer name and etc.
If you follow this , then you don't want to worry about date changing.

i'm just learning C#, just to warn you.
I want to create a app that will be able to perform various functions on chemical equations. so if the input was "C12H4O3Mn5". how would i divide each element, some one letter, some 2 into workable variables along with their corresponding amounts which would have to be integers in seperate variables?
what would be ideal is 2 arrays, one with the element and one with the ammount correspondingly.

Please check the member function which is avilable in string class. All functions are self explanatory and contain nice examples.So please refer MSDN.

I would have said the ideal would be to create a class. Having two arrays in this way can be problematic - especially if they arrays become out of sync with each other.
As for splitting the input string. I imagine that the best solution would be to use a regular expression, however I'm not to good with them.
Do you want to know more?

Hello,
My Form has a listView control, that is acting as a
message window. Messages are appended to the listView.
I would like the scrollbar knob to stay positioned at
the bottom of the vertical scrollbar. How can I do it?
Regards,
Zishan

This code blcok will help you to get the visibility of last item in your listview control. And if nessasary it will scroll upto the end.
<br />
if(listView1.Scrollable)<br />
listView1.Items[listView1.Items.Count-1].EnsureVisible();

I hava simple program that posts a xml file over the web to an Apache Web Service.
HttpWebRequest wr = ()WebRequest.Create(url);
wr.ContentType = "text/xml";
wr.KeepAlive = false;
wr.Timeout = 60000;
wr.Method = "POST";
Stream s = wr.RequestStream();
.....
.....
WebResponse response = wr.GetResponse();
The TCP Timeout is occuring on the wr.RequestStream() after the 5th time file sent.
Knowingly the program sends many XML files a minute. It is quite efficient producing them. However it would appear to block after the 5th one and then everything yields a TCP timeout. I increased the timeout to 1 minute on my side but yet I get the timeout within 20 seconds.

Are you closing your connections? The number 5 seems almost programmed, like that's a connection limit. You need to make sure that you close your connections by calling Close or, better yet, use the using block statement to make sure the HttpWebResponse gets disposed (which closes the connection among other things):
using (HttpWebResponse response =
(HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
{
}The using block statement compiles to a try-finally block, where it is disposed - if not null - in the finally block (so exceptions are thrown but the finally block is always executed before execution returns to the caller).
Now, if you need to allocate N number of connections like a web crawler or something, you need to control your threads. Don't just create new threads when you feel you have to. Using the ThreadPool helps in these case.
The .NET BCL also includes checks to prevent too many stops. This uses a ServicePointManager and the ServicePoint classes to limit connections. The ServicePointManager.DefaultConnectionLimit gets or sets the default number of connections. Setting that higher may help, but most servers implement their own connection limits.

You are close to becoming my personal mentor. You have answered every single one of my questions with incredible accuracy. Thanks a lot.
Back to WebResponse
I also thought that forcing the connection closed from my side was the way to go and added a finally block to set the object to null. Of course your using {} block is a much more elegant solution and I happily threw mine away to use yours. I have not tested either. I will let you know.
Look out for my next question, I'm sure you have the answer!

Setting the reference to null won't close the connection (studying the IL for the module in the assembly would help alleviate these assumptions). Even assuming it was the only reference, the GC (garbage collector) will only free the memory used by the response when the GC "feels like it" (idle time or when memory is nearly exhausted, and even then it may not get freed right away; other generations may come first).
You must dispose of the object or explicitly call Close to close the connection.

Hello,
I am writing an interpreter program that should implement a parser class that uses a parse tree and then have the expressions evaluated into an evaluator class. The second option is to use a syntax called Grammar (which I was told can implement both the Parser and the Evaluator in it).
Any ideas to help me out? do you know of any URL or anywhere I can get a better idea (sort of tutorial from which I can learn) on how to implement one of these two?
Thank you in advance,
A Newbie in tha block

I've worked mostly with compilers, but they are not too far off from interpretive evaluators. 
So...
The approach I would take is dependant upon how complex the language is. If the language is along the lines of assembler:
op parm,target
-or-
macro
Then your Grammar processor is acceptable.
The more english-like or complex the structures are, then you need to implement a parser class (validate the input, identify key tokens, etc.) then once the phrase is parsed you evaluate and execute the parsed elements.
There are 10 kinds of people in the world.
Those that read binary...
...and those who don't.

Hi,
I'm trying to create an application that, given a URL, will spider/crawl through all publicly viewable directories at the URL, and list all the files the contain in a listbox or grid of some sort. Does anyone know of any tutorials which cover this sort of spidering/crawling (preferably in C#)? - I looked, but I couldn't find anything of merit. If no one knows of any tutorials, I would appreciate any push in the right direction as to what classes might be needed.
Thanks,
Justin

Off the top of my head I don't know of any links that discuss this, but in reality if you break the problem down into smaller pieces, it really shouldn't be that difficult. You will need a mechanism to given a URL, extract the HTML content returned from the server. You would want to look into the HttpWebRequest class to do that. Once you had the content it's simply a matter of parsing, whether or not you tokenize the document or use regular expressions, that's up to you. Hopefully this should get you started.

Hello,
I built a program that reads data from an Excel Workbook and spits out Xml to be read by another program. It is written in C#, and I use Microsoft Visual Studio 2002 for development.
My question is this: where can I find information regarding the use of Microsoft's DLLs. When I compile my program, the following DLL's are placed in my program folder:
Interop.Excel.dll
Interop.Microsoft.Office.Core.dll
Interop.VBIDE.dll
I need to know if I am allowed to include these in my program, because this program is going to be sold and or licenced to people, but I obviously did not write the dll's, and I don't want Microsoft to sue me.
I also need to know what happens if someone has an older or newer version of Excel installed... will these dll's still work?
If someone could at least point me towards the answers to these questions, that would be great. Thanks!

Yes and no. You can ship those DLLs - they do not contain any implementation. Those DLLs (assemblies) are merely RCWs (Runtime Callable Wrappers), or "interop assemblies".
The "no" part of my answer is because you're using the wrong assemblies. When possible, use the Primary Interop Assemblies (PIAs) shipped by the company (in this case, us - Microsoft). You can download the Office 2002 PIAs from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C41BD61E-3060-4F71-A6B4-01FEBA508E52&displaylang=en[^] and the Office 2003 PIAs are included with the Office 2003 System installations as "Developer Support" (or something similar).
You will have to chance your project references and your using statements, but the interfaces, classes, methods, properties, enumerations, and struct names should all remain the same.
The difference is that Office PIAs are "official" and signed with the corporate key, making it easier to support. If you download, extract, and follow the README file (or install these with Office 2003), in the future the PIAs are used automatically.
When possible, develop against the oldest typelibs (COM type libraries; they're used to generate RCWs) you can (without sacrificing functionality you need). When written correctly - and Office is - COM types are supported in future versions, only being deprecated when absolutely necessary (this is acheived, in part, by never changing published interfaces - always derive new interfaces with new methods, even when exposing .NET components to COM).

Hi all!
Is it possible to change the color of Text in the Visual-Studio Editor? If it is, how can I do this? (I'm working with c#)
Any links, tutorials, tips?
Thanks in advance.

If you look at the object model for the EnvDTE object, you might notice the ColorableItems property/object. Read about it in your VS.NET help documentation or online in the MSDN Library[^].

Ok, so I have a PictureBox on my form named pctInternet. It has the following code associated with it:
string imageLocation = @"C:\mypicture.jpg";<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(imageLocation);<br />
pctInternet.Image = bmp;
Now, I just want my PictureBox to display the picture and CLOSE the actual "mypicture.jpg" file, but for some reason whenever I try to delete the "mypicture.jpg" file while my app is running, it errors and says "File is in use."
How do I fix this? What line of code am I missing?

Because the file is in use. What you need to do is clonse the Bitmap and then dispose it:
using (Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(imageLocation))
{
pctInternet.Image = (Bitmap)bmp.Clone();
}It's good to use the using block statement for IDisposable implementation because it ensures that objects are disposed even if an exception occurs (it compiles to a try-finally block).
