Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. They were greatly appreciated .
Freedom is the right to say that 2+2=5 if this is so everything else will follow.

then are you sure that the directories/files aren't Read Only or being used by another application?
That's always the first thing that comes to my mind whenever something tells me access to a file is denied.

thank you led mike,
but i have used it and left with no result,its working fine for sample applictions and not to main applications(which is having many dependancies) i couldn't able to find out the reason too.
comming to my requirement as an alternative
i could able to download the version that is there in my website,
but here i've strucked coz, i couldn't able to check the software version which is in server.
i got the current application version by using system.reflaction namespace's getCurrentassembly.fullname() property
please tell me how to find version of application which is in server.
do i need to write any xml or anything is my msi/setup please help me

I've got a stringbuilder object back from a dll for which i don't have the source by using an API call. The api call is a blackbox I have no idea what happens inside it.
Inspecting the stringbuilder in VS shows the same result as inspecting the output in the VB6 app i am trying to copy.
I now need to perform a bitwise mask on each of the bytes in the stringbuilder as that is what the original app does.
How can i get a byte array of ASCII values out of a string builder?
I've tried these 2 approaches:
Encoding enc = Encoding.ASCII;
byte[] bytes = enc.GetBytes(text.ToString());
This overflows value bigger than unsigned byte...
for (int i = 0; i < text.Length; i++)
{
Console.WriteLine(text[i] + " " + Convert.ToByte(text[i]));
}
this produces output that doesn't seem to bear much relation to the input data.

Has anyone played with string compatability between VB6 and c#?

WHat does? I see nothing wrong with you use of Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(string) it works fine for me.

sorry, it doesn't look like it did when i typed it. That comment should have been attached to the code below it. The ASCII encode was giving me values that weren't the same as the old skool VB6 Asc command. (oops no i've attached the wrong comment to each piee of code)
I've used the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Asc function now and i'm getting the results i need.
Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
I have been asked to take a seminar of 30 minutes on advantages of Microsoft .NET framework 2.0. Our company is currently using framework 1.1, so they want me to tell them in my seminar whats the advantage of moving to Framework 2.0.
I have to take this seminar on this friday (18 - May), can someone provide me some resources or more information on this. I dont have access to google here, but have access to code project, msdn and some .NET related web sites.
Regards,
Blumen

Given your lack of google, I'd say this site and MSDN are your best bets, that's why I tried to give you some keywords you can search this site and MSDN with.
Generics is top of the list, in my book. Typed containers are so important, it's a disaster they were not in 1.0.

I'd add C# 2's yielding iterators to that, as well as delegate inference. These save so much typing...see my reply here[^] to Jim Taylor's question for an example of what I mean.
Christian Graus wrote:

Well, I agree that the syntax is too verbose and ugly. C# 3 does a bit better using lambda expression syntax. However, I find anonymous methods very powerful. Being able to pass captured locals in anonymous methods lets you do some pretty powerful stuff - we've built a mini LINQ-like library in .NET 2 using them; and we've found the resulting library consistently useful and beneficial, resulting in shorter and more concise consuming code. We also use them when posting background work to other threads, or posting work to the UI thread from some IO threads.

would it not be a good idea to start looking towards .net 3.0 / 3.5 at this point?

+all the benefits that Christian mentioned for .Net 2.0
As Christian said Generics are the huge improvement in .Net 2.0, they should have been there from the start. From an end user perspective though .Net 2 doesn't make much difference.
VS2005 and orcas are the only IDEs that are meant to run on vista if you ever need to debug Vista issues.

Hi,
I am trying to create a notepad with tabs. I have now run into problems and need some help. My problem is that when i want to open a file into a tab, i dont know which textbox to open in? Each tabpage has a rih textbox as a control. I cant figure out how to get the individual texbox control back.
Here is the code i am trying with sofar:
while ((read = content.ReadLine()) != null)
{
foreach (Control contr in newtabpage.Controls)
{
if (contr.GetType() == typeof(RichTextBox))
{
for (int j = 1; j < newtabpage.Controls.Count; j++)
{
if (rTextBox.Name == "rbox2" )
{
rTextBox.Text += read + "\n";
break;
}
}
}
}
rTextBox.Text += read + "\n";
}
tabControl1.SelectedTab.Text = filename;
content.Close();
This is the code i use when a new tab is created:
rTextBox = new RichTextBox();
rTextBox.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
rTextBox.Name = "rbox" + tabControl1.TabCount.ToString();
newtabpage = new TabPage();
newtabpage.Controls.Add(rTextBox);
String tn = "ntab" + tabControl1.TabCount.ToString();
newtabpage.Name = tn;
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(newtabpage);
newtabpage.Text = tn;
tabControl1.SelectedTab = newtabpage;
I would be glad if anybody could help me with this. Thanks.

I'd just make a new class that derives from TabPage and has a property on it that exposes the text box:
public class TextBoxTab : TabPage
{
public RichTextBox TheTextBox
{
return this.richTextBox1;
}
}
Then whenever you add tabs to your TabControl, only add TextBoxTabs:
tabControl1.TabPages.Add(new TextBoxTab());
Your application code would look like this:
string text = File.ReadAllText(theFileName);
TextBoxTab selectedTab = tabControl1.SelectedTab as TextBoxTab;
selectedTab.TheTextBox.Text = text;

I have a function that a function that takes in a string like "1,2,3,4324,3423". I need to return an array of a type that I specifiy using that string so in this case it would return an array of ints or shorts etc like { 1, 2, 3, 4324, 3423 }.
The code I wrote to do this is below ...
<br />
usage: int[] myInts = (int[])CommaSeparatedStringToIEnumerable("1,2,3,4324,3423", typeof(int)); <br />
<br />
public static IEnumerable CommaSeparatedStringToIEnumerable(string str, <br />
Type destinationType)<br />
{<br />
List<string> list = new List<string>(str.Split(','));<br />
list.RemoveAll(delegate(string s) { return s.Trim().Length == 0 ;});<br />
IEnumerable output;<br />
if (destinationType == typeof(int))<br />
output = list.ConvertAll<int>(delegate(string s) { return Convert.ToInt32(s.Trim()); }).ToArray();<br />
else if (destinationType == typeof(short))<br />
output = list.ConvertAll<short>(delegate(string s) { return Convert.ToInt16(s.Trim()); }).ToArray();<br />
else if (destinationType == typeof(byte))<br />
output = list.ConvertAll<byte>(delegate(string s) { return Convert.ToByte(s.Trim()); }).ToArray();<br />
else if (destinationType == typeof(bool))<br />
output = list.ConvertAll<bool>(delegate(string s) { return Convert.ToBoolean(s.Trim()); }).ToArray();<br />
else if (destinationType == typeof(string))<br />
output = list.ConvertAll<string>(delegate(string s) { return s.Trim(); }).ToArray();<br />
else<br />
throw new NotSupportedException("Type not supported.");<br />
return output;<br />
}
I can't help thinking that this could be acheived using a generic function like
public static T[] CommaSeparatedStringToArray(string str)
but I've been round the houses trying to do this. Any ideas, good articles would be appreciated.

Here's an elegant way to do it with using C# 2's yield iterators, generics, and delegate inference:
public static IEnumerable<T> CommaSeperatedToIEnumerable<T>(string commaSeperatedValues, Converter<string, T> converter)
{
foreach (string value in commaSeperatedValues.Split(','))
{
yield return converter(value);
}
}
Consuming code would look like this:
IEnumerable<int> myInts = CommaSeperatedSTringToIEnumerable<int>("1,2,3,4324,3423", int.Parse);
Powerful, fun, elegant, works on all types of T. Pretty efficient too, since the results will be computed only as you ask for the values in a foreach.

Thanks Judah that is quite cool. I'm really enjoying learning the new language features in .NET 2.0!

Damn, I always forget about the yield keyword, then get reminded, then forget all about it again.

The real trick of the above solution, of course, is the Converter<int, T> delegate; without it, we'd have to resort back to the a bunch of if/elses using hard coded types. That's no fun.
The yield stuff is really nice. LINQ uses it heavily; you can imagine the LINQ 'where' keyword actually uses a function underneath the hood:
public static IEnumerable<T> Where<T>(IEnumerable<T> items, Predicate<T> criteria)
{
foreach(T item in items)
{
if(criteria(item)) yield return item;
}
}
Of course, with current C# 2 syntax, consuming this is a little ugly:
int[] ints = {5, 10, 15, 20};
IEnumerable<int> evenIntegers = Linq.Where(ints, delegate(int i) { return i % 2 == 0; });
C# 3 makes this a little better with lambda expressions:
IEnumerable<int> evenIntegers = Linq.Where(ints, i => i % 2 == 0);
C# 3 improves it further by extension methods: taking static methods like our Where method and making them appear to be instance methods:
IEnumerable<int> evenIntegers = ints.Where(i => i % 2 == 0);
Better, but still a little odd. The "language integrated" part of LINQ adds some new keywords to C# 3:
IEnumerable<int> evenIntegers = from ints where i % 2 == 0 select i;
Pretty cool stuff; builds heavily on C# 2's delegate inference, anonymous methods, and yielding iterators.
And lastly, it's rather laborious to type IEnumerable<int> all over:
var evenIntegers = from ints where i % 2 == 0 select i;
