Re: how to use the same variable in c#, in HTML

Patience! Posting your question over and over will not get it answered any faster...

Besides, your question would be better handled in the ASP.NET Forum...

The variable is defined to C# only and is never passed to HTML. So, the only way your going to see the value of the variable is if the C# code passes it to some field in your HTML, such as stored the value in a hidden TextBox...

sorry about being so impatient. thanx for replying.

is there a possibility that u could show me how what u mean by passing the variable to some field in HTML. i don't have lots of experience with HTML.

do you mean that you want to assign a asp.net(C#) variable to a javascript variable or something?

don't know about pocket. in .NET regular framework this will work:

System.Diagnostics.Process pr1 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
pr1.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe";
pr1.Start();
System.Diagnostics.Process pr2 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
pr2.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe";
pr2.Start();

there are no facts, only interpretations

In case others have this same question you just retrieve System.Environment.MachineName;

hello everybody,

in first time sorry about my english.

I'm doing an application that must count the number of pages people prints in the printer installed in the server. This application will run in a windows server 2003. since now, I've been using Active Directory (IADsPrintQueueOperations, IADsPrintJob,etc) to pause, resume and cancel the document from the print queue and to read the number of pages of the document. the problem arrives when somebody print some copies of a word pad or pdf or Internet Explorer document. When this happens, the program only count the first copy, but allow to print all the copies.

I've been reading and I've found that I have to use the API "winspool.drv" with the functions EnumJobs or GetJob, to look the TotalPages or something like that, but I don't know how to use it and I've not found any example in c# (only in visual basic or c++, and i don't know).

Someone can help me?

thanks

Dear CPians,

I have written a userControl in C#.Net. I want to add XP Visual Styles to it. Any idea How to go for it?
Any article links or examples would be helpful.

Note: there are several articles both in CP as well as in msdn which deals with adding the XP Visual Style to the application whereas I need to add the XP Visual Styles to the UserControl only.

Regards,

Jay.

End task problem

Good day to all!

My boss wants my windows form NOT to be shutdown by users using the End Task in the task manager. Is there a way to solve this problem? If none, is there a way that if my Windows App is terminated using task manager's End Process, Windows will automatically open again the application or worst shutdown windows perhaps. In-short, the application must always run on the users computer, after logging-in, and theres no way for the users to turn-off the application.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

There's no way that I know of to do what you want. You can write another app that checks every now and then if your app is running, and if not, it restarts it. But the user can kill that app.

I would recommend you to write a service. They run in a system account (not just for the logged user) and to manipulate them (start, stop and so on) the user requires administrative privileges.

Search CP for some examples of writing services.

I'm not entirely sure, if this would help against "End Task", but try canceling the closing event:

private void Form1_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
// Cancel the Closing event from closing the form.
e.Cancel = true;
}

I don't know if it will work or not but you can try overriding the wndProc and intercepting the shutdown message that windows sends to your app.

There is a message called WM_QUERYENDSESSION

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
   if (m.Msg == 0x0011)
   {
      //Do something here to re-open your app?
   }
   base.WndProc (ref m);
}

I don't know how you can stop it closing from there but you could
always re-open your app.

You will have to check that WM_QUERYENDSESION is the message that is called though. If it's not then try searching through the windows header files, one of them has a list of different messages.

Hope this helps. Big Grin | :-D

Technically, no there is no way to that. End Task goes to great lengths to see if your app will shutdown on it's own first, and when all else fails, it will force your app closed and release your processes memory. Note, I didn't say open resources and handles!

There is an exception to this. If your app was being debugged at the time, it usually can't force your app closed.

I don't know of any examples of this technique being used, or any other to stop this from happening. It just seems like a BAD idea. Probably why you don't see the technique laying around all over the 'Net.

The workaround is a monitoring app like the others have posted. But, there is nothing stopping the user from terminating that either.

As for everything else you posted... These sound like the requirements for a Service app.

Crystal web reports

1-Nov-04 19:32

I have some crystal reports that are shown in pdf format to allow for printing. My problem is that I am not sure how to change the default location that they are generated in. Eg, in WinXP the location is in the iusr temp folder, and Win 2003 its in c:\windows\temp
I want to specify a folder in which the temporary files can be created, instead of allowing it to do as it pleases. The code I am using is:

DataSet ds = rt.transListingGetByMeterNo(MeterNumber);
ReportDocument rep = new ReportDocument();
rep.Load(Server.MapPath("Crystal\\transactionListingRpt.rpt"));
rep.SetDataSource(ds.Tables[0]);

MemoryStream oStream;
oStream = (MemoryStream)rep.ExportToStream(CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat);
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer= true;
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";
Response.BinaryWrite(oStream.ToArray());
Response.End();

proxy implementation in chat client

Hi,

I have developed a chat application (Chat client and Server both) in c-sharp. I have used Sockets to communicate between client and Server.

Now I want to give functionlity in my chat client to connect via proxy server. I have to support the following proxy types i.e.

- HTTP 1.1 proxy
- Socks ver 4
- Socks ver 5

I want to get an idea that in order to support for proxy (specially for HTTP 1.1), will it affect the the way I am reading and writing to/from client-Server applications. Or I only need to write routine to connect via proxy and rest of the code will be same.

Please let me also know if anybody has any sample regarding this.

Regards,
Kamran
