If that was really your problem, you can't have possibly written the DB code you posted ? You should buy a C# programming book and work through it.

I thought it would, it just works in a different order, like:

int a;<br />
int b = 4;<br />
int c = 3;<br />
<br />
a = b++*c;<br />
//a would be 12, b would be 5<br />
//the line is executed, then b is incremented<br />
<br />
b=4;<br />
c=3;<br />
<br />
a = ++b*c;<br />
//a would be 15, be would be 5<br />
//b is encremented, then the line is executed

I'll have to go check now.

1. Use BitBlt API or PrintWindows API to capture the screenshot of your window form.
2. Save it as image in your memory stream or disk.
3. Print this image.

Hope it helps.

Image of complete form or image of any control can be drawn on a bitmap object using Control.DrawToBitmap() function, here it would be something like, this.DrawToBitmap().

Once you get snapshot on a bitmap object, use PrintDocument control and draw this image using e.Graphics.DrawImage in PrintPage event of PrintDocument.

I hope this helps.

Create Aspx page on the fly

1 - ask in the ASP.NET forum
2 - why do you want to, and what do you mean by 'on the fly' ? ASP.NET allows you to use things like literal controls to generate any HTML you like. You can also create controls themselves on the fly, but if you do, you'll have to work hard to get events from them.

Use file manipulation function to create a file and write contents into that following ASP.NET syntax. This newly created page won't have a code-behind file. You need to write server side scripts in ASPX page itself. But this method is tough for doing changes to the page.

Beginner programming question?

What am I doing wrong in this snippet of code? I can't seem to figure out how to make this work:
using System;

public class DebugFive2

{

public static void Main()

{

const string pass1 = home;

const string pass2 = house;

const string pass3 = mouse;

string password;

Console.Write("Please enter your password ");

password = Console.ReadLine();

while(password != pass1 || password != pass2 || password != pass3)

Console.WriteLine("Invalid password. Please enter again. ");

password = Console.ReadLine();

Console.WriteLine("Valid password");

}

}

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Beginner programming question?

First: you should get an compiler error with the consts - use const string pass1 = "home"; for example

Second: in your while-loop you are just using the Writeline (no block) - use this:

<br />
{<br />
  Consoloe.WriteLine(....<br />
  password = ....<br />
}<br />

Then your problem is with the ORs (||):
You iterate the while-loop as long the password is not pass1 OR not pass2 OR not pass3 and as pass1 != pass2 != pass3 you will satisfy this contition no matter what the input is - so just use && instead of || (substituting OR with AND) and it will work.

Hello everyone,

I have a WebBrowser Control in Windows Application. As the user Navigate using the Web Browser Control if the site tries to open a new Window using script I get the following error.

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

I also tried the code given here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/ExtendedWebBrowser.aspx[^] and same error was given.

I am using Visual Studio C# 2008.

Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I can sort this out?

Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.

What does the debugger say. If an error is reproducable in this way you can be lucky.
The reasons are many: Overwritten memory, buffer overrun, unlocked pointer, pointer to a pined managed object were the pn is freed, but the pointer is still in use...

Repro the error in the debugger and watch the call stack.

Did it occur to you to just remove the line and see what happened ? Either way, this is better written as f.WriteLine("*"); instead of two statements. That should also make clear what's going on.

Sending large Data over WCF

PavanPT9-Dec-07 15:48

9-Dec-07 15:48

Hi there,
I’m working on smart client application and i use WCF as main communication service.
Most of the times I use single Dataset to transmit data from the client to server (service) and vice-versa.
My dataset would contain only one table with single record (as i have normalised pulling large data in single dataset).This record had a column which stored actual file date (byte array). This is working fine for < 1MB data.
Never before I have come across transmitting large data via WCF (large data-size being approximately more than 2MB and defiantly less than 10MB). And this is something i need to implement but i have very little idea.
I have started looking on net for solution but none of them seems to be working for me.
Well i have done the following
client side
Binding being
<system.servicemodel>
<bindings>
<wshttpbinding>

<binding name="WSHttpBinding_IAttachmentService" closetimeout="00:10:00">
openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="500000" maxReceivedMessageSize="1000000"
messageEncoding="Mtom" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">
<readerquotas maxdepth="32" maxstringcontentlength="8192">
maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliablesession ordered="true" inactivitytimeout="00:10:00" enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientcredentialtype="Windows" proxycredentialtype="None" realm="" />

<message clientcredentialtype="Windows" negotiateservicecredential="true">
algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />

</message></security>
</readerquotas></binding>

</wshttpbinding>
</bindings>
</system.servicemodel>

server side
Binding being

<binding name="Binding_IAttachmentService" closetimeout="00:10:00">
openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="500000" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"

<message clientcredentialtype="Windows" negotiateservicecredential="true">
algorithmSuite="Default" establishSecurityContext="true" />
</message></transport></security>
</reliablesession></readerquotas></binding>

please let me know if there is something I’m missing to change on dataset or on my service proxy level or on service itself. I was thinking dataset by default is serializable and so i need not wrap it to WCF DataContract. if thats not the case then is there an alternative solution to my problem.
It would be very helpful if someone throw some light on me.

regds,
pavan

My experience is that you have to set maxReceivedMessageSize and maxArrayLength to be at least your maximum buffer size. If these are smaller than the actual send length the connection gets reset (I don't have the exact error message handy). I only specify these on the client side, but I don't think having them on the server side will hurt anything.

Using native data types (e.g. byte[]) vs. wrapping in a DataContract shouldn't make any difference.

I hope that helps.

Dear All
We have been struggling to set expiry date to power point files with following code. Though there is no syntactical error in it, it fails to set expiry date for given file.

<br />
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation presentation;<br />
<br />
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.ApplicationClass oPPT = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.ApplicationClass();<br />
<br />
presentation = oPPT.Presentations.Open(pptFileName.ToString(), Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue, Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse);<br />
<br />
presentation.Application.Activate();<br />

presentation.Permission.Add("real_alias@real_site.com", MsoPermission.msoPermissionRead, dtExpireDate);<br />
<br />
presentation.Close();<br />
<br />
presentation = null;<br />
<br />
oPPT = null;<br />

We have done similar thing with excel and word files successfully and still are clueless for doing the same to Infopath file.

Please guide
