Heres what you can do is , if you have 4 lines per student. then I suggest you can use the Readall lines command

string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("Filepath");
if(lines.count != 0){ //avoid zero devision error
int studentCount = lines.count /4
}

but I would recommadn instead of having diferent lines per block of info is creating comma delimited information

firstname, surname, telephone ect

so you have 1 student per line, then you can simply use a
Regex.Split(line, ",")
to split the information and read the text like that , much xleaner and less prone to error.

Also keep in mind that 32 bit processes are limited, so 64 bit would be needed. Its not so much a hardware issue as it is a infrastructure issue, you see the garbage collector in C# starts to take strain when the memory runs up to huge amounts

u welcome

If you want to do it purely out of html may i suggest the following then

I have never done this before but from when I read it suggest its a way of steaming live video using HTML5

hope this helps

The most helpfull answer would be one that tells me for instance.

"that my understanding of the public private key distribution is incomplete, and that i should do the following..."

Not saying teh answer isnt helpfull but a nushell explanation would recieve full marks :)

having read the article , and having skimmed over the comments i can honestly say I would have a better chance going straight to the Question section that waiting for a handfull of people to hopefully give me a usefull answer. But thx for the wiki link.

What you are currently doing poses as a massive security risk as the username and password is being stored in clear text on a cookie.

What i recommend is generating a user id (GUID) and encrypting it in order to automatically log a user in instead of saveing the login details on the client pc., also what you are doing is currently begin done automatically by most mainstream browsers.

Well assumption is the mother of all "Unhanded exception occurred".

Yes but don't you think that should be the concern of the system creating the records to put in the list rather than the one extracting the values ?

All I am saying is validate the value once, than having to validate it countless times when its accessed.

I mean obviously we at the top of our fields but don't you think we have better topics to debate than bicker about pedantic subjects over a question that really just warrants a straight forward answer than I in-depth analysis and performance comparison chart (because this is what it usually goes down to)

We ppl in the science and technology field can be so stubborn sometimes :)

That being the case wouldnt you think that the data in the dropdown would be invalid in the same sentence one could say never assume a string value would be convertable to an int. :)

Heres my thought on the matter: Seeing as some people in code project did something similar they can tell me what works for them. For example books / google articles or so on.

Believe me I googled this quite extensively and 99% of the related results brings me to the door of someone using another 3rd party non commercial api , with vurtually no one writing from the ground up.

I wouldnt be asking on CP questions if I havent exhausted other options

for a perfect answer I need the source of what is causing the issue , as in the whole document , I gave you answers based on what could be causing the issue in firefox, I dont have your document so I have to guess what the issue is.

I wish to be able to log it , so that I can then take that query and parse it via a web service to a data warehouse.

I am aware that this might not work for huge datatypes but for my purposes it would be ideal, as i want to keep the data in the warehouse as upto date as possible

sorry i should have been a bit more clear , I want to do it using a trigger so I can store the query on a table

Sorry that link was deleted so i only have access to it

I updated the amin article waiting for approval check the zip file at the top labeled "updated easy soution"

Seems to be a good explanation , going to investigate if i find this a valid solution i will accept as solution. thx.

try catch is coding 101, but yes in future i will explain my problem better.

And no i don't ant my user control to handle all error on a page , as explained i only want to suppress errors on a user control individually.

What I am attempting is a little bit more complex, this has to be generic for all unhandled exceptions, so if for instance a datasource countrol lost connection to a database. I also know about global error handling in gobal.asax , but still I am aiming for something more elegant.

Yes we all know try catch ... and so on , what I am attempting is a little bit more complex, this has to be generic for all unhandled exceptions, so if for instance a datasource lost connection to a database.

I also know about global error handling in gobal.asax , but still I am aiming for something more elegant.

Yes i thought about using DateTime , just one problem if you had more than 1 remote terminal directly connecting to the sql server.

Their time need to be in perfect sync to ensure that the order is maintained.

If terminal 1 writes to the database and then terminal 2 then terminal 1 again it should keep that order (If their clocks are out of sync they can and will differ so the auto assign should happen on SQL )


Long story short I need the longest possible data type that order is perfectly maintained as the record get entered.

I would like to run a compare when processing these records eg get all records where RecordID > lastRecordProcessed

Follow.

Because one record need to be processed before the other, one of the many reasons why one would request a exceedingly long data type that can be ordered.

No worries I am going to go with jeremy's solution

I am aware of int and identity specification but I need something reeeeeaaaaaly big

If you can point me to a data type that can hold the same amount of records as a Guid but that auto increments I would gladly accept that as the solution. I would like to use this because I need to record the last record processed on my program and then use a compare to get the records that still needs to be processed
