I understood your query, but I was asking you if you are using any setup SDK in particular. Not all installers offer you an API that you can use from your code (they only have a GUI). You might want to use the Windows installer SDK[^]. The API reference for the same is here[^].
CodeProject has a wrapper class around the said API - Wrapping the Windows Installer 2.0 API[^]

If the setup is relatively simple, you might as well consider doing the packaging yourself with the cab SDK[^] or you could create a self-extracting archive.
If you choose to do it with a self-extracting archive, there are several ways (z-lib, lzma sdk, etc.,). I remember there was a C# wrapper around the lzma sdk (and that supported creation of self-extracting archives from your code) . A search must bring up plenty of options.

Hi guys,
After a long google search, I accurately found out what I wanted. So, I thought to show this off to you guys. The only difference is, the project in the link has been written in VB.NET and I am trying to convert it to C#.NET. Heres the link, please go through it: Use CLSID to secure folders in WinXP[^]
PS: The above link also mentions about hiding a folder, is that somewhat malicious?
Cheers,

Without CodeProject I am nowhere! So, I am in a circular Array which has only two index positions. I say goodbye forever from the 2nd index position and then again return back to the first.

Yeah, and only people who don't know any better would think that this is a valid security technique, and it's not a supportable solution. It screws up backup software and what would happen if you lost the batch file that removed the CLSID?? How are you goin gto recover the folder??

No, it's just plain stupid. The only people it stops are the ones who don't know how the file system or Explorer works.

Hi,
How can run the track bar while reading string from a text file.
eg:
i have a text file which contain
aaaaa
bbbbb
ccc
dddddd
eeee
.
.
etc
i will read these one by one as each row. While reading each row i need to move the trackbar accordingly automaticlly.
Thankyou
YPKI

Try a ProgressBar, and increment by each step

I think you mean a progress bar - something to show the user haw far through you are? Rather than a track bar - something to let the user change numbers?
if so then:
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(fileName);
ProgressBar pb = this.pbShowProgress;
pb.Maximum = (int)fi.Length;
string line;
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
{
pb.Value += line.Length;
}
You may want to add using(...) and / or try - catch to this.

hi
i need to read XML data from an XML file into C#.i tried using XmlTextReader class but i am not getting all elements.
My XML file is as follows
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Form1>
<button>username</button>
</Form1>
My code is as follows
XmlTextReader textReader = new XmlTextReader("C:\\books.xml");
textReader.Read();
while (textReader.Read())
{
textReader.MoveToElement();
Console.WriteLine("Attribute Count:" + textReader.Value.ToString());
}
in the above code i am not getting all the nodes and elements...(maybe due to whitespaces)
please give links to any code samples etc...is there any other method to read??
thanks in advance...

i'm using windows application c#.net 2005
i want to calculate the number of hours spend by each enroll no.
each employee should workk 7 hours daily and make 182 hours monthly.if the made more than 182 hours will be overtime,if he made less than 182 hours will be deduction.the employee can take 4 or 5 days off each month.
i want to calculate the number of hours he made between 2 dates as he may comes on 30/4/2009 at 8 o'clock pm and leaves 12:00 am that will be on 1/5/2009.
i also want to make a combobox which has enroll no's and the user choose his number then his working hours will be displayed according to his number.i don't know if that possible or not because i'm using this text file.
Best regards,
emmy

this is the part of teh code i wrote but i can't have anything for an output
i don't know where is the mistake to make it work
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"C:\new.txt");
string line;
while (null != (line = reader.ReadLine()))
{
string[] split = line.Split(new char[] { ';' });
string bit = split[0];

{
date1 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(split[1]);
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan();
date2 = Convert.ToDateTime("0:3:43");
ts = date2.Subtract(date1);
listBox1.Items.Add(ts.Days + " Days " + ts.Hours + " Hours " + ts.Seconds + " Seconds ");

Problem number one: there is no ';' character in your sample file. Lots of ',' characters, though.
Problem number two: the date info is not in the second section, it is in the 4th.
Fix those, then see what happens.

i changed it as you said but still same problem.
i think date1 should be date1 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(split[1]);
i have date1 & date2 if you misunderstand.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(@"C:\new.txt");
string line;
while (null != (line = reader.ReadLine()))
{
string[] split = line.Split(new char[] { ',' });
string bit = split[0];
if (bit == Convert.ToString(EnrollNo))
{
date1 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(split[4]);
//date2 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(split[2]);
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan();
date2 = Convert.ToDateTime("0:3:43");
ts = date2.Subtract(date1);
// time1 = split[2];
listBox1.Items.Add(ts.Days + " Days " + ts.Hours + " Hours " + ts.Seconds + " Seconds ");
break;
// DateTime dtDate1 = new DateTime(2009, 30, 4, 9,44,52);
// DateTime dtDate2 = new DateTime(2009, 30, 4, 17,6,27);
// TimeSpan dtDiff = dtDate2 - dtDate1;
// MessageBox.Show(dtDiff.ToString());
// If you want the result in No of days
// MessageBox.Show(dtDiff.Days.ToString());
// Total Minutes in the TimeSpanstring
// minutes = dtDiff.TotalMinutes;
// Total Hours in the TimeSpanstring
// int minutes = dtDiff.TotalHours;
}
}
reader.Dispose();

Noo, no, no, no.
"The 4th section" does not mean "split[4]" - zero based index, remember?

On the first line,
string[] split = line.Split(new char[] { ',' });
gives:
split[0] = "Enroll No"
split[1] = "194"
split[2] = "date2"
and so forth.
If you aren't sure, write them out, or check with the debugger.

you are right
i made this
string[] allLines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\new.txt");
for (int m = 0; m < allLines.Length; m++)
{
string eachRow = allLines[m].ToString();
string[] rowaArray = eachRow.Split(',');
string enrollID = rowaArray[1].ToString();
date1 = DateTime.Now;
// DateTime time1 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(rowaArray[5].ToString());
date2 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(rowaArray[3].ToString());
// DateTime time2 = System.Convert.ToDateTime(rowaArray[5].ToString());
rowaArray[3].ToString(); // Date
// rowaArray[5].ToString(); // Time
// string Datez = rowaArray[3].ToString() + " " + rowaArray[5].ToString();
TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan();
// ts = time2.Subtract(time1);
ts = date2.Subtract(date1);
listBox1.Items.Add(ts.Days + " Days " + ts.Hours + " Hours " + ts.Seconds + " Seconds ");
}
but still can't have output as when i add this code
string Datez = rowaArray[3].ToString() + " " + rowaArray[5].ToString();
tells me that Index was outside the bounds of the array.
when i highlight it i have this as o/p
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-27 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-26 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-26 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-26 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
-26 Days -12 Hours -55 Seconds
i think it's wrong right
