Greetings,

Windows service is not meant for user interaction. If you still like to achieve this functionality i suggest creating a Forms Application, then adding windows service controller to control your windows service, and adding notify icon control to that app.

problems starting application with System.Diagnostics.Process

Hi,
my starting routine looks like this:

<br />
        private void StartProcess()<br />
        {<br />
            System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
            p.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\Programme\\AutoGK\\AutoGK.exe";<br />
            p.Start();<br />
        }<br />

When I run the code everything is executed fine except that the application to be started shows me an error: "Installation is corrupted. Please reinstall the application." But starting the app manually (in windows explorer, etc.) causes no errors and the application starts fine, so the problem is in the code I use. The program I want to start is AutoGordianKnot, which probably was written in Qt. Any suggestions or any other ways to start this app?

Greetings

Is the app usually started with command line parameters, perhaps?

I am working with the office outlook, it is working fine with console version, but when i use it with window service, it does not work.

I am getting the following log entry

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Microsoft Office 11
Event Category: None
Event ID: 2001
Date: 8/16/2006
Time: 6:38:46 PM
User: N/A
Computer: XYZ
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 2001 ) in Source ( Microsoft Office 11 ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Microsoft Office Outlook, .

Any idea???

Windows service runs in a separate user context, i think this is the root cause of the problem.

Try running it under the same user as your console application (your login id).

Also try turning on "allow this service to interact with the desktop" feature.

Thanx for the reply but these solutions don't seem to work. The actual line of error is

Outlook.MAPIFolder objFolder;<br />
Outlook.NameSpace objNamespace;<br />
objFolder = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderInbox);//HERE<br />

here objFolder.Items.Count = 0. While in case of console application im getting the actual no of mails.

ReadXMlSchema method

16-Aug-06 3:53

Hello,

I want the Schema of my dataset to be read in a while loop and printed out. Simple isn't it? Well it is not..Let me explain..I am calling the ReadXmlSchema as follows, (my dataset is called dsPersisted)

XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(new StreamReader(new MemoryStream(),Encoding.UTF8));<br />
<br />
dsPersisted.ReadXmlSchema(reader); //dsPersisted is my DATASET.<br />
<br />
while (reader.Read())<br />
{<br />
Response.Write(reader.Name);<br />
}<br />
//Close the writer<br />
reader.Close();<br />

The Read() method inside the loop just doesn't work. Instead of a MemoryStream, if I use a filestream it works. But I don't want to use a filestream.

The dataset is definitely not empty and it has a schema (100% sure).

any help is appreciated

Hah!!! I myself have found the solution to the above problem. What I was getting was the following error

root element is missing

I modified the code as below and it works!!!

MemoryStream memStream = new MemoryStream();<br />
            dsPersisted.WriteXmlSchema(memStream);<br />
<br />
            //Very important to reset the current position of the stream<br />
            memStream.Position = 0;<br />
<br />
            XmlTextReader reader = new XmlTextReader(memStream);<br />
            <br />
            while (reader.Read())<br />
            {<br />
                Response.Write(reader.Name);<br />
            }<br />
            //Close the writer<br />
            reader.Close();<br />

thanks,

TCPClient/Server + Configuring Windows

Hi!

I just created a simple server that prints messages received from the client to console(the server
listens to port 5000).

My problem is this(and I'm not sure if I posted this to the right forum):

When I start the server and try connecting to it from another computer the remote computer
declines the connection and I get a System.Net.Sockets.SocketException-exception.

I have disabled all firewalls(Windows firewall) from the remote computer but I still
keep getting the same exception. I have also tried different port-numbers without success.

Any thoughts, solutions and suggestions are very much appreciated.

What IP address are you listening on the server side?
If you listen on 127.0.0.1(localhost) you won't be able to connect from remote computer,
but will successfully connect from the same machine.

Readability of the code

Hi, there are two functions below that do the same thing.
And the question is which one of them is more readable? Which one would you prefere? And why?

Thanks in advance,
Vitaliy

version 1:
__________________________________

<code>
private ContentParameterDetail GetParameterFromProfile(ContentParameterX prm, SubscriptionScenario scenario)
{
  string profileKey = scenario.TimeoutMode ? prm.GetFromProfileTimeout : prm.GetFromProfile;
  if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(profileKey))
  {
    return null;
  }

  string parameterValue = scenario.IPHelper.Profile[profileKey];
  if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameterValue))
  {
    return null;
  }

  ContentParameter parameter = _entity.ContentConfig.GetParameter(prm.ParameterID);
  ContentParameterDetail pd = parameter.GetDetailbySPGWCode(parameterValue);

  return pd;
}
</code>

version 2:
__________________________________

<code>
private ContentParameterDetail GetParameterFromProfile(ContentParameterX prm, SubscriptionScenario scenario)
{
  ContentParameterDetail pd = null;
  string profileKey = scenario.TimeoutMode ? prm.GetFromProfileTimeout : prm.GetFromProfile;

  if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(profileKey))
  {
    string parameterValue = scenario.IPHelper.Profile[profileKey];
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(parameterValue))
    {
      ContentParameter parameter = _entity.ContentConfig.GetParameter(prm.ParameterID);
      pd = parameter.GetDetailbySPGWCode(parameterValue);
    }
  }

  return pd;
}
</code>

I prefer version 1 cause there it's perfectly clear that null gets returned if string.IsNullOrEmpty is true. In version 2 I have to take a look at the whole method to see that pd isn't changed anywhere and therefor null will be returned.

Yes, good point. I just wonder if those multiple return statements are bad. Otherwise I defenitely go with version 1.
