Hi,

I've developed an application that uses a few font styles that might not be present in all machines... How can I embed these fonts when I deploy my application at the Client's system, assuming that his system does not have those fonts installed... Please suggest...

Thanks in Advance,
ramz_g

Hi Eddy,
Thanks for the reply... But I think you misunderstood my question... Suppose my client's system does not have a font style named "xyz" which I used in my application. I asked how to embed the font in my application and deploy the application on my client's system so that he sees the same font styles that I used while developing the application.

You'll have to put the font in the font-directory, that's it. If 'xyz' is installed there, your application can use it without problems. I doubt that it can be used when it's merely an embedded resource. I might be mistaken off course, perhaps one of the other readers has a better idea or option that you may try Smile | :)

I was mistaken! Big Grin | :-D

You do need to be careful here, as if they don't have the fonts installed, they might not then have licenses to use them. You don't want to be distributing copyright material now...

well I think you are going to have to pay someone to do it as you don't seem to have the ability to try/do for yourself

Why is it so urgent? Are you getting paid to do this?

Sounds like you took a rentacoder job and then realised you have no idea how to do it. Contact the client, tell them you are a liar.

HttpPostedFileBase and locking...

daviiie23-Apr-09 2:17

Hi all,

Ok this is the problem. I am using the microsoft MVC web framework to build a web app. I have a method that uploads files to the server by retriving the HttpPostedFileBase files from the HttpFileCollectionBase in the Request. I then invoke the HttpPostedFileBase method SaveAs(path) to save those files to the filesystem.

I have just implemented a Remove method that takes the filename and path, ensures the existence of the file by calling File.Exists() then attempting to call File.Delete() to remove the said file. The problem is when I have just uploaded this file, when I go then to delete it right away I get a

"The process cannot access the file 'C:\....\file.jpg' because it is being used by another process."

Now I suspect that that HttpPostedFileBase method SaveAs() has locked that file and not released it. But I am not 100% sure. My only other suspision is that the actual page view method goes and does a:

DirectoryInfo info = new DirectoryInfo(imagesPath.ToString());
FileInfo[] files = info.GetFiles();

In order to retrieve all the files located in that directory. One of the two of these is locking that file. I am more inclined to believe its the SaveAs() method as the remove works intermittently and if it were the page view I'd expect it not to work ever.

Does anyone know anything about this, I have been googling away like mad trying to find out how to get HttpPostedFileBase to release the file its just saved with no avail.

Cheers.

Hi daviiie;

I have exactly the same issue and tried this, thinking SaveAs locking the files as you did but id didn't work, so something else is locking the files:

// Request.Files[i].SaveAs(fileName_save);

using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName_save, FileMode.Create))
{
    byte[] bytes = new byte[Request.Files[i].InputStream.Length];
    Request.Files[i].InputStream.Read(bytes, 0, (int)Request.Files[i].InputStream.Length);
    fs.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
    fs.Close();
}

Did you have any progress for the issue?
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply.
To open in a program, we use readers and writers.
But I would like open a file as like we open a file by double-click in system folders.
I have list of file paths in listview.
when I select those, corresponding files should get open.
Please guide me to achieve this.

Getting Fileinfo and fileattributes in one read operation ?

Hi all,

I want to store some files in a database. So it would be nice to keep all information (fileinfos, attributs and rights)
when they will be restored.
Is there a way to get all the (file)informations on block (struct) and not to collect them by each item with
FileInfo or FileAttributes.
And the next question is how to restore these fileinfos in an similar, easy way ?

tnx
frank

We don't respond by email here. Any replies are posted to the forum for the benifit of others.

Just add a progress bar to your form. If you want your UI to remain responsive you can hook it up to a background worker like I've done here[^].

But batch file and windows form's progess bar/ marquee are two different process. How to run both simultaneously. As when batch process gets started, it freezes other processes.
