I'm trying to create a piece of xml. I've created the dataclasses with xsd.exe. The root class is MESSAGE. So after creating a MESSAGE and filling all its properties, I serialize it like this: serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Xsd.MESSAGE)); StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(); serializer.Serialize(sw, response); string xml = sw.T...
I am currently working on a new application (.Net 3.5/Win2008 Server environment) that does a nightly poll of a database table to find records that need processing. Very simple process overall. Previously, I have used a Windows Service "Shell" app to do the timer/sleep/poll process. My question is more of: Since I have the opportunity t...
Hi, Say I have a Person class with Name, Age, Level properties. I know how to order by one of the properties, with PersonList.Sort(delegate(Person p1, Person p2) { return p1.Name.CompareTo(p2.Name); }); But how can I order by Name, Age and Level. An equivalente of the sql sentence : ORDER BY Name, Age, ...
Hi, I was asked to set up a .NET web service to expose a few methods for querying a database, which isn't a difficult task, but they said they wanted it secured using SSL since it is not internal. How does one use SSL with a web service? And is this something to use WCF for, or should I stick with a .net 2.0 web service? Thanks in ad...
Hi, I have managed to encrypt data in native code using the Crypto API and decrypt this in .NET (C#) code, using RC2 algorithm and SHA for creating a key. This is the native code (Delphi in this case): // Get handle to CSP If Not CryptAcquireContext(hCryptProv, nil, nil, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0) Then If Not CryptAcquireContext(hCryptProv...
I've been working on my first web page which will be used as a trouble shooting guide based on a series of questions. The questions are determined by the answer of the previous question, so it turns into a "choose your own adventure". Luckily I was given a decision flow chart showing all the possible paths, but it looks like the Tokyo ...
Hi all, I have a socket that is receiving HTTP requests. So I have a raw http request in byte[] form from my socket. I have to study this request - BUT Instead of reinventing the wheel - can I 'cast' this byte array into a System.Net.HttpWebRequest or something similar? Thanks! ----- UPDATE --------- So anyway I couldn't find the ...
Is using the .NET DataAdapter's batch insert features any more efficient, as far as DB round-trips, compared to using DbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() in a loop? Coming from the Java world, I was hoping to find something similar to it's batch abilities where multiple SQL commands are sent to the database and executed in one operation. When ...
I've got a Windows Forms Button on a Form which submits a web request. I want to be able to disable the button when it is first clicked and then re-enable it when I get a response. I don't have much control over the code that is being called and how it is being called so all I can play around with are Button events or I can create my own...

I've been making a effort to grow into my own company and one of the things I'd like to start doing is working form my own office at home.

At my current workplace, I run across a lot of code that looks similar to the following example: private void GetWidgets(ref List<Widget> widgets){ if(widgets == null){ widgets = new List<Widget>(); } else{ widgets.Clear(); } ... code to fill widget list } and public class Widgets{ private List <Widget> widget...
I need to add an assembly probing path at runtime, not through the element in app.config. Is there a way to do this? The reason is so that my XOML-only workflow that resides in it's own folder can know where to find it's related DLLs (i.e. containing custom Activities). Currently I am getting fusion errors because the CLR is probing t...
For .NET fields and properties that by definition only contain a single character, is there any benefit to defining them as char instead of string? Or is that an incorrect use of the char data type? I'm thinking of a field that can hold an M or F for sex, or a middle initial, or an indicator stored in the database as a Y or N. I typical...
For a quick temporary solution I made an image of a form that the users wanted to have programatically filled out. I then embedded that image in a report and filled the page with the image. I then put the fields on top of the image to fill out the areas in the form that needs filling. I realize this may not be the best solution, but it w...
When adding controls to a form at runtime, you can do either of the following: Button btn = new Button(); //... this.Controls.Add(btn); or Button x = new Button(); //... btn.Parent = this; I had assumed that they were the same, and it was just down to personal preference which way to do it, but someone at work mentioned that the se...

These changes include switches in column order, sorting, and the addition and deletion of rows. However, this does not seem to be the case. I am finding that ...

The trouble is I cannot reference this assembly as only ones already deployed to SQL or other SQL project references are allowed. Is it possible to use 3rd party assemblies in a SQL CLR assembly and if so how? Thanks in advance. ...
