Hey There,

Not sure what you're looking for based on the output and then the results.

Are these colons and dots in the text? And, the case of P4S, what context are you using to count from E to A?

If you could clarify, that would be great. I'm not really sure what you're trying to accomplish.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanx ...
See this simple file
ABCDEFG
ABCEEFH
* * * : * * * .
so it have three rows . Those first two rows say
A and A match then it will be * (asterisk) in the third row.
and those D and E not match there will be colon (: ) or
G and H not match .(fullstop) in the third row

Our question is
In third row where there is colon (: ) and .(fullstop)
tell the number and wht is that name at that number
therefore output will be
D4E because colon is at 4 number
G7H because fullstop is at 7 number

And it will be a long file where there is colon and full stop
just tell the number and name ...

One more question is
In some other files colon or fullstop may be at 4th row or 5th row
can u script this one also separately

\"Member

Hey There,

Are there always only 2 mismatched letters in each pair of rows? Just wondering if you do multiple colons before full stop and how you handle that.

Also, can you post what you have so far? Just curious as to where you're having the issue.

Thanks :)

Thanks for looking into the question
Actually u can say this is a part of sequence alignment ( biology) where amino acids of one sequence aligns with amino acids of another sequence Say between human and chimpanzee
so those amino aicid match thatwill give asterisk
otherwise colon or fullstop ( this is by software program which can produce that)
.

can u produce a script if u look into the question previously posted if possible.

Sorry, I know awk/sed was requested, but a python solution was so easy, couldn't help to post it:

#!python\n\n(a, b) = ([], [])\n(i,j)=(1,1)\ndiffchar=['.',':']\n\nfor line in open(\"sq.txt\"):\n        line=line.strip()\n        if i == 1:\n                a = list(line)\n        elif i == 2:\n                b = list(line)\n        elif i == 3:\n                for (x,k) in enumerate(list(line.replace(' ',''))):\n                        if (k in diffchar):\n                                print a[x]+str(j)+b[x]\n                        j+=1\n\n                i=0\n        i+=1

Discard if you can't have Python. This may give you some idea about the awk code though (feel too lazy to translate in awk:)

1. OS-Windows XP Home

3. Select startup, F8. Nothing worked.
4. Formatted hard drive with wipe (format disk).
5. Tried to install XP Pro.
6. Power shut off at end of loading startup files.
7. Retried several times. Finally, loaded XP Pro.
8. While loading Office, froze, blue-screened.
9. Started over, but this time with original XP Home.
10. Power continues to shut off after loading \"checking system and loading startup files\".
11. No battery inserted.
12. Direct power.
13. When power goes off, unplug power supply, plug back in to be able to start again.
14. Is something in the startup files triggering the power shut off?
15. Is this a software or hardware problem, or both?

Did the computer turn off whilst installing XP?
Perhaps there is a problem with the hard drive. Did you reinstall XP because of being unable to boot up?
Can you tell us what the BSOD error is?

There's no need to number each line.

their is a difference between loading and installing. What I am asking is does the PC turn off whilst you are installing from CD Or after the installation begins from the hard drive?

Try a linux live CD to see if there is something wrong with your HDD or if it is something else. If you can boot from the CD then it could be something else other than the hard drive. If the CD works and the PC doesn't shut off it could be a fault with the hard drive.

What is a linux live CD? It actually cuts off from the CD. The HD is formatted.

\"Member

If it cuts out whilst using the CD then It probably is not just the HDD.

Is this a laptop or desktop?

Number 13. in you original post, Does it refuse to start if you don't unplug it first?

Hi everyone,

I've been having problems with my machine for a while now even though we upgraded about 4-6 months ago.

OE keeps causing the machine to go nutso & most of the time I can get it under control & then it will do it again several hours later until I have to reboot.

It's so bad now, that I have to reboot once every 2 days instead of the once every week I had to reboot b4.

I'm on Win. 2000 Proffesional & I'm now using 1.0.4 of FF which has a lot of bugs I've noticed :(

I use OE only b/c TB sucks as an e-mail program.

I find it happens mostly when I have a lot of e-mail windows open, but it was never this bad b4.

Oh & I now have 1 GB memory & that's still not helping.

Oops, almost forgot. I scan regularly with Anti Spyware & Anti Virus & update too, so that's not the issue.

Please help :(

Thanks

Depends if you are use ECC OR NON ECC RAM. Some motherboard do not use ECC RAM which is why you might work for hours then force to restart or get the blue screen of death. Replaced ram with non ECC RAM or different band and see what happen. if this doesn't work supect video card.

Ecc And Non Ecc Is Not A Type Of Ram!
(ecc Means Error Correction Control.)
Some Motherboards Can't Use This Type Of Ram, And Yes They Are Ddr Rams. You Can Tell What Type Of Ddr Ram Because It Usally Stated On The Packaging Of The Ram It Usally In Small Print If It Ecc Or Registered Ram Because All Ram Is One Or The Other They Both Will Fit In The Slot, And Work But Will Cause System To Shut Down Or Blue Screen Of Death Or Restart Programs Don't Work Right.

The problems I have are w/ OE. If I search & find too many different e-mails, it starts to crash & I have to close down ALL the OE windows including search boxes & then restart OE.

It's very annoying & time consuming, especially when I have to search thru local folders which has to search over 12,000 e-mails.

Outlook express will crash because it a java based program that rely on the ram working correctly.

No offence meant here, but all programs use RAM and rely on the physical memory working correctly. This has nothing to do with Java in particular, and additionally, since ep2002 has indicated that the problem is only with OE, that would not point to a problem with RAM in general.


This might shed some light on the real root of the problem though:

The problems I have are w/ OE. If I search & find too many different e-mails, it starts to crash...

If your problems really are only with OE, and you're also asking OE to deal with a very large number of messages, the cause is almost certainly not due to bad or mismatched RAM, but rather the fact that Outlook Express has known limitations in terms of the maximum size of its folders (Inbox, etc.). Iif you have allowed a huge number of emails to pile up in your different OE folders, the program will crash because you've exceeded (or are approaching exceeding) the size limit of those folders. The size limit on OE's files/folders was 2Gig last I checked, and I don't think that has changed recently.

Outlook express rely on ram more charging amost all the bank on the ram itseft which is way it will crash the system with this program more. (True all program rely on ram to work, but some program, java based programs rely on ram more using most of the banks) More likely it the Latency timing, and the motherboard proably only can accepted 512mb on each slot 1gb on a slot on these older motherboards can cause problem like programs cause blue screen and so forth. ( even thought board accepted only 512 dimms poeple put 1gb in it and the board read the full 1gb and loaded windows but will crash more offen) and she using ddr 3200 when the motherboard only can use 2100 non ecc.

It proably cheaper to replaced the motherboard then the ram, look at the price for some of the stores in canada and ram is to high price and then you have a 1GB stick laying around, buy a new motherboard you can find one that can use your stick of ram and processor you be good to go. If you what links to where or what kind of motherboard you will need, need to know name and model of pc or processor type.

Yes I had a feeling OE was the real problem, but if the memory is a problem, that needs to be resolved too.

Question... Since OE is too jr. a program for me, any suggestions on which e-mail program to switch to that has all the features OE has & more?

I have been looking for a while, but nothing seems to be there.

Is Outlook better, or is it just OE with a few extra features I don't really need like the reminder etc.?

TB won't work b/c it's still too buggy & when I went to import all my e-mails, it wouldn't import the \"sent\" folder which is crucial for me.

Thanks :)

Even though there are limits to OE, system suren't crash, I would say OE was a problem if it crash every time you try loading it or try to get in your inbox, but every few min's or somtime hours indicated a ram problem. (But just incase it is a outlook problem or you exceed the 2gb limit try recovering you mail with this program. http://www.oemailrecovery.com/recovering-email.html
this will also help you get lost emails backand import them.
Hope this help

Hi there,

I wish I would have had that link ages ago & yes, I have had problems with what you mentioned.

There are times that when it gets bogged down, that if I X out of it, but don't close down all the other e-mails that have windows open or I have \"find\" windows open & then I reload OE, it doesn't show me all the e-mails.

It will pick a day & give me only up to that day which could be 1-2 days earlier or even a year earlier.

Then I have to close down all the windows & then restart it to get ALL the e-mails.

It's very very frustrating & I can't believe no one has created an e-mail program that works well with an office.

I'm not a large corporation by any means, but with all the stuff I subscribe to & running a biz, I'm well over 11,000 e-mails in my inbox & that's not including all the e-mail in all the folders I have under \"Local Folders\".

Thanks

1) A pretty definitive way to figure out if RAM in general is the root of the problem is to download and run the (free) memtest86 RAM-testing utility.

More info on from an earlier post of mine on the subject:

Download and run the free memtest86 RAM-testing utility. It runs from a bootable CD or floppy, and it will do a pretty thorough battery \"stress tests\" of your RAM and give you the results of any errors it finds. Let the test cycle run for a few hours or more for the best results.

Also- If you've got more than one RAM module installed, run the computer with only one of the modules installed at a time. If you find that the system only crashes when one particular RAM module is being used, replace that module.

2) Unfortunately, Outlook suffers from the same message/folder size limitations that Outlook Express does IIRC; if your problems lie in that area, a move to Outlook won't help. You said:

I'm well over 11,000 e-mails in my inbox & that's not including all the e-mail in all the folders I have under \"Local Folders\".

That could very well be what's doing you in; you need to be dilligent about deleting old/unwanted messages, or do periodic backups to some other location to get those old emails out of your \"active\" folders. I've had a few of my \"real life\" clients let the contents of their Outlook/OE folders grow too large, and the recovery processes were not fun.


3) In terms of Thunderbird: while it definitely does not have all of the \"bells and whistles\" of the full version of Outlook, the latest version of TB at least has a 4G mailbox limit, which is twice that of Outlook/OE. I've sucessfully used TB as one component of the recovery process in cases where my clients have \"blown up\" their Outlook mailboxes by exceeding the size limitations of those programs.

If you want to run MSWORD in multiple computers from a single computer then all you have to do is to send a UDP broadcast message to the clients, and the clients will just run the MSWord with the System.diagnotic.start(\"winword\") You can also use Shell command but you'll have to give absolute address. So, I would prefer the first method. Its simple and it works:)

This problem has been driving me crazy, I just can't seem to find anything in the Python docs.

I've been working on a script, It connects to a remote server and downloads multiple RAR files as a \"job\", it then extracts them to the correct place.
It works, but I get this for each file:

Getting http://(url removed).com
(big delay here)
Got http://(url removed).com

You can see the problem with that, it doesn't give you an idea of how much work it's done.
I've been trying to implement a status bar, I can get the percentage by downloading the files in chunks. But I don't know how to write this to part of the screen in the way that wget would ( I would get annoyed if it kept taking new lines everytime the percentage changed).

edit: I should also add that I can't use any advanced graphics or anything, it gets ran on a linux server via ssh.

Thanks.

In case anyone discovers this, the solution is to the use '\\r', to will move the cursor the start of the line.

where [] is the cursor.

print \"asdasd\\r\" //will give [a]sdasd

now the cursor is at the start, you car \"overwrite\" the line.

Just thought I'd update this for anyone else who hits this page, its really frustrating to spend hours googlng things and hitting dead ends.

Hey guys,

I'm new to parallel programming, so I was wondering if anyone could help me parallelize a bit of code. It is a code that goes into large h5 files (using h5py) and grabs some data out. After that the data has to be reformatted and printed into another file. I was wanting to parallelize the for loop part of going over the data over several processors. These are very large files so it would help as far as memory and speed goes. Again, I'm very new at this, so if anyone has any ideas to go a completely different direction I'm all ears. Here is the code as it stands serially:

import h5py\nimport glob\nimport sys\nimport os\nimport numpy\n\n### This takes the simulation name as the first argument and the day to extract as the second\n### All h5 files must be in the same folder, with no other h5 files (including surface)\n\nsim_name = sys.argv[1]\nday_to_extract = sys.argv[2]\ntotal_nodes = int(sys.argv[3])\ntotal_elements = sys.argv[4]\n\nfiles = glob.glob(\"*.h5\")\n\na = numpy.empty(total_nodes)\nb = numpy.empty(total_nodes)\n\nhot_list = numpy.column_stack((a,b))\n\nfor file in files:\n    # Get all of the data from h5 file\n    f1 = h5py.File(file, 'r')\n    data = f1['Data']\n    temp = data['Temperature']\n    # Getting temperature data for the day needed\n    temp_day = temp[day_to_extract]\n    press_head = data['Pressure_Head']\n    # Getting pressure head data for the day needed\n    press_day = press_head[day_to_extract]\n    geo = f1['Geometry']\n    # Obtaining the original node numbers \n    # This keeps temp and press_head indexed correctly\n    nodes = geo['orig_node_number']\n    orig_nodes = nodes['0']\n\n    # Put data into list\n    for i in range(len(orig_nodes)):\n        orig_node_number = int(orig_nodes[i])\n        hot_list[orig_node_number] = [press_day[i], temp_day[i]]\n    sim_name, piece = file.split('p')\n    part, ext = piece.split('.')\n    print \"h5 file number \" + part + \" read\"\n    f1.close()\n

The last part where it is putting the data into the list is the part that is RAM and CPU intensive. I was hoping to break up the large temperature, pressure head, and original node numbers into smaller chunks and add them to to the hot_list array simultaneously. I'm just not sure how to best go about this. I figure it would be using scatter, but I can't figure out how to make it scatter the file into even lists or numpy arrays around the processors and then gather them back. I know this is asking a lot, but if anyone could at least point me in the right direction I would be happy to do the heavy lifting. Thanks for your time!

Access Denied when trying to connect to MySQL with correct password

\"Member
mattskills 0 Newbie Poster

Hi,

i'm having some trouble with my MySQL server where i can't log in or connect to it from the terminal , phpmyadmin or my server control panel. the password is correct , i have reset it a number of times but still get the same message:

ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: Y
ES)

does anybody know what might cause this (please don't say the password is wrong)

Thanks,
Matt

Depending on the platform \"localhost\" might connect via a Unix domain socket. If this is the case, then it might be that there is a mismatch between where the socket is really located in the filesystem (as specified in my.ini) and where the MySQL client (whatever you are using as a client) expects it.

To test that, I would try the connection using the mysql command line client and use the identical my.ini file.

XML Read/Write?

\"Member
LucianAdamson 0 Light Poster

Hello all! Hopefully there is someone out there who can help me with what I need to achieve.

Goal: Loop through XML file, reading node by node searching for a node with a specific attribute with a specific value, then write to another attribute of said node found.

I feel that isn't as clear as it could be, so hopefully further reading will clarify.

The XML FILE:

<root>\n    <level id=\"1\">\n        <prop n=\"LookVertSpeed_Pad\" v=\"120.0\"/>\n        <prop n=\"LookHorzSpeed_Pad\" v=\"260.0\"/>\n        <prop n=\"LookVertAcc_Pad\" v=\"2500.0\"/>\n        <prop n=\"LookHorzAcc_Pad\" v=\"2500.0\"/>\n        <prop n=\"LookVertDec_Pad\" v=\"50000.0\"/>\n        <prop n=\"LookHorzDec_Pad\" v=\"50000.0\"/>\n    </level>\n</root>\n

Basically I need to load the file that contains a more elaborte yet consistant group of nodes identical to the XML code above and loop through looking for, lets say for example sake, LookVertAcc_Pad in attribute 'n' and update its 'v' attribute to 3000.0. Specifying any <level> node isn't necessary, needed, or warranted. All attributes that I will need to modify will be in this format. I am completely new to reading/writing XML and would highly appreciate any help.

HI, I have to use a simple code to read & write xml file like initial parameters, maybe this code can help you:

Imports System.Linq
Imports System.Xml

Sub DataXml_Create(ByVal sFile As String)

Dim xDoc As New XmlDocument\nTry\n  'Create structur XML\n   Dim xRoot As XmlElement = xDoc.CreateElement(\"ControlPanel\")\n   xDoc.AppendChild(xRoot)\n\n   '------------------------------------------------------------------\n   Dim CnnControl As XmlNode = xDoc.CreateElement(\"Control\")\n   xRoot.AppendChild(Control)\n\n   Dim sSrvP As XmlNode = xDoc.CreateElement(\"SrvP\")\n   Control.AppendChild(sSrvP)\n   Dim sSrvT As XmlNode = xDoc.CreateElement(\"SrvT\")\n   Control.AppendChild(sSrvT)\n\n   '------------------------------------------------------------------\n   System.IO.File.Create(sFile).Close()\n   If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(sFile) Then xDoc.Save(sFile)\n\n Catch Ex As Exception\n\n   Dim strMsg As String = \"Error creating XML file\"\n   MsgBox(strMsg, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, \"DatosXml_Crear\")\n\n End Try\n

End Sub

Sub DataXML_Upload(byval strXmlFile As String)

Try\n\n  If Not My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(strXmlFile) Then DataXml_Create(strXmlFile)\n\n  If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(strXmlFile) Then\n     Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load(strXmlFile)\n\n     For Each sControl In xmlDoc.Descendants(\"Control\")\n       If sControl.HasElements Then\n         txtConnSrvP.Text = sControl.Element(\"SrvP\").Value\n         txtConnSrvT.Text = sControl.Element(\"SrvT\").Value\n       End If\n     Next\n\n  Catch Ex As Exception\n\n    MsgBox(Ex.Message)\n\n  End Try\n

End Sub

Sub DataXML_Save(BYVal strXmlFile As String)

Try\n   If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(strXmlFile) Then\n     Dim xmlDoc As XDocument = XDocument.Load(strXmlFile)\n\n     For Each sControl In xmlDoc.Descendants(\"Control\")\n        If sControl.HasElements Then\n          sControl.Element(\"SrvP\").Value = txtSrvP.Text\n          sControl.Element(\"SrvT\").Value = txtSrvT.Text\n        End If\n     Next\n\n     xmlDoc.Save(strXmlFile)\n\n   End If\n\nCatch ex As Exception\n   MsgBox(ex.Message)\nEnd Try\n

Chinese Strings in Python

\"Member
alasseon 0 Newbie Poster

Hello, All:

My first post... I've looked high and low for the ability to write a Chinese language text string in a program.

For example:

myString = \"你好\"

So that if you say:

print myString

on the console you will see:

你好


But I have yet to be successful. First off, can Python do this, and second, what is the *easiest* way to make it happen? I'm certain I'm not the only one who would like to use Unicode in their source programs, or be able to process Unicode strings, but every article I've seen does it differently. Is there another language that will do this easily?

Surely, this is not difficult, is it?

Addendum:

While this was very difficult in Python 2.5, it is trivial in Python 3.0. :)
Using the print() function in Python 3.0 seems to print any combination of Chinese text that I throw at it.

This is no way to ask a question. What the hell are we supposed to do with \"i think d error is in inputtin d values into d linked list\" ?
Post your code using code tags (don't just upload some files) and then tell us
1. what the code is supposed to do (input/ouput)
2. What the code is actually doing
3. (optional) tell us where you think the problem is.

Here's a sort of 'forum-manual', you might benefit from reading it.

ok!

the code reads i in data about each flight(given on a seperate line 4 each flight) so i hav 2 build a graph 2 find shortest distance!

so i create a vertex that stores a given startin pt and a linked list that stores all its possible end pts along with cost,time to get from start vertex 2 en vertex!

but i dont no wat i did wrong?????

int buildGraph(FILE * in1,Graph G,int n)\n{\n\n  EdgePtr addInPlace(EdgePtr,char[], double, double, char[]);  \n\n\n  int i;   \n  char temp[MaxWordSize + 1];   \n  char ePort[MaxWordSize + 1], dPort[MaxWordSize + 1]; \n  double d,c;  \n\n  EdgePtr top = NULL;\n\n  fscanf(in1,\"%s\",&temp);\n\n  while(strcmp(\"END\",temp)!=0)\n  {\n\n    fscanf(in1, \"%s\",&ePort);\n    fscanf(in1, \"%s\",&dPort);\n    fscanf(in1, \"%lf\",&d);\n    fscanf(in1, \"%lf\",&c);\n\n\n    for(i=0; i <= n; i++)\n    {\n\n    if(strcmp(G->vertices[i].embarkmentPort,ePort)!=0)\n      {\n        n++;\n\n       G->vertices[n] = newVertex (\"\");\n\n       strcpy(G->vertices[n].embarkmentPort,ePort);\n\n       top = addInPlace(G->vertices[n].Destinations,temp, d, c, dPort);\n\n\n       }//end if\n\n    else\n     {\n\n      top = addInPlace(G->vertices[i].Destinations,temp, d, c, dPort);\n\n      }//end else\n\n    }//end for\n\n  fscanf(in1,\"%s\",&temp);\n\n}//end while                  \n return n;   \n}//end buildGraph  \n

For modern platforms I love Ascii Sector. It is the best Ascii game I have ever seen. You very quickly overlook the lack of fancy graphics because of how polished the game is.

For completely non-retro games I like the 3-D Star Wraith Games.

...

I could go on but, I'll stop. :)

I may have missed it, but nobody mentioned Deus Ex? I lost a girlfriend over that game...
I'm glad to see lots of folks saying Daiblo II. When LOD came out, that game became my favourite for a solid year and a half. Honorable mentions for me include: Commander Keen, Test Drive 2 (1990ish), and Zork (1980ish).

The scenario is, If the user has logged in for the first using his one time password it should get redirected to ResetPassword.aspx

If the user is not new, then should get redirected to Main.aspx page.

Should I use IsPostBack or Membership.ValidateUser?

How do we usually code in c# to check if its a new user (using first time login)

I am a newbie to programming not getting enough info on net. Please help

HI, You can use session.
or
You can add one more field in DB check to whether user is active user or not.

\"Member
Ketsuekiame 860 Master Poster Featured Poster

Generally you would include a field in the DB containing the last log on date, if this value is null, then it's a first time log on.

If you want to do things like forced password reset; the simplest way is to include a bit column that just states \"ResetRequired\" or something and set that to 1 in order to force the change.

Hi

I am very new to C#. Below is the program which i am trying.

SqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();
comm.Connection = conn;

conn.Open();
comm.CommandText = \"Select * From EMP \";
comm.ExecuteScalar();
myadapter.Fill(myset, \"EMP\");
dataGridView1.DataSource = myset;
dataGridView1.DataMember = \"EMP\";
conn.Close();
}
But I am getting following error. I am using sql server 2005 express edition.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

First thing , you are Opening a Connection in a Wrong Place and you dont trap your Errors , Second thing your Connection String is incorect. You are Executing the Command object and at the same time you are using the adapter, why ?? . Your Code should look like this

string connstring = \"User id =sa;Password=hello;Database=SAMP; Server =MyServer\" \n\nSqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connstring);\n\nSqlCommand comm = new SqlCommand();\n\ncomm.CommandText = \"Select * From EMP \";\n\ncomm.Connection = conn;\n\nDataSet myset = new DataSet();\n\nSqlDataAdapter myadapter = new SqlDataAdapter();\n\nmyAdapter.SelectedCommand = comm;\n\ntry\n{\n\nconn.Open();\n\nmyadapter.Fill(myset, \"EMP\");\n}\ncatch(SQLException)\n}\nFinally\n{\nconn.Close();\n}

Your Code Is Screeming \"Hey put me inside a Function or in a Class\" lol , So try to put this code in a class or a Function and in your Form you can Bind your Gridview like this

dataGridView1.DataSource = myset;\ndataGridView1.DataMember = \"EMP\";

Adding Time data to MySQL

Hi. I'd like to add time (and no date, and not a timestamp) data to a field in MySQL through a PHP form. I've been having problems, as the date is also included. But I only want the time (I want to be able to sort the data by the time, and I think it was adding today's date along with the time, so if I enter the data on 5 different days, it won't sort correctly).

PHP Insert Code:
.strtotime($event_start_date).

MySQL field:
Type: INT
Length/Values: 10
Default: None
Collation:
Attributes: Unsigned
Everything else empty

Can anyone help with:
1) what should the php insert code be
2) what the field type, attributes, length/values, etc should be

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware the developer console merely sets up some environment variables. To discover what those variables you'll need the full edition of Visual Studio installed, or ask someone who has. Open up a developer console and type the 'set' command without any paramaters. You may need to change some paths to reflect the configuration of you own machine but once you have this information you can probably create you own dev console without needing to install the full version.

Hi!

I have a dell ispiron 1300 laptop, with Win XP & SP2. Thanks to my college, I also have access to the MSDNAA software site, so I decided to download XP Pro (with service pack 2) for my laptop (free through the program, after all).

So after doing the advisor program thing, which tells me there should be no hardware conflicts, the file downloads as an iso, and I burn it to a disc and run the installer.

It gets to the point where it's copying a bunch of installation files to the C drive, and then tells me, in essence, just before completion \"cannot copy axjf317s.sys to <C drive pathname>, as it is missing\". I try to skip and reboot, but the installation will not continue when it sees that file is missing.

And I download it a second time, and this time it's missing ahodpamy.sys and again cannot properly boot into the installation. What the heck? :icon_eek:

Also none of these files return results on google, that do I do? :icon_eek:

This is typically 1 of 4 things.. Badly Written CD, Dirty CD-Rom drive, Bad hard drive, or bad memory(ram).

1. Try loweing the speed in which you burn the iso to disc. Nero and most other utilities have an option to change burn speed.

2. Blow compressed air or blow into the drive yourself to try and clean out dust. Or get a Drive cleaning kit for about $20 from walmart.

3. Test your computers memory with this diagnostic utility:

4. Test your hard drive with a diagnostic utility from the manufacturer of the drive.

Hi,

I have been trying to compile open source projects since past few months with no success. I just don't know how to go about the entire thing. Readings over the internet have not helped much.

Some come with ./Configure and a Makefile while others with only a Makefile. How to use them to generate executables (or they have some other purpose :?:).

My machine currently has:

  • Windows XP
  • Mingw Compiler for C/C++
  • Cygwin

Do I need any other software?

Thanks!

Makefiles are ways to effectively reduce the user burden by just executing one script which will perform the compilation for you.

In order to run a makefile you will need to do the following

1) Make Sure that your MinGw compiler directory is in the windows global Environment variables.

If that is done.

you could just use the Command prompt (START>RUN>CMD) and go to the directory where the codes are present and type

'make' to execute it

Before anything I would suggest you to move to Linux for development work.

Thanks. I guess migrating to Linux makes sense.

Hi everyone. I'm new here, a friend of mine suggested that i come here and tell you all about my problem so that you can try to help me. Thanks in advance, and here goes:

Laptop:

I think i have a spyware type virus on my laptop. I don't know how i got it as i didnt download anything but i did open a torrent file. It has caused a lot of problems for me, including:
...not allowing me to access my email account. I can sign in normal but when my page comes up, the font is twice the size it should be and my inbox isnt clickable. I had to have a friend use a different email address and verify it for me in order to join up here as i just cant use mine.
...i can't use google. when i try to click on one of the google links, it opens a new tab and takes me to an irrelevent page. sometimes from there it even shuts down my laptop.
...it has seemed to block any site that might help me, including anti virus sites, and McAfee live chat. I tried to get avast (friend recommended) but it blocked it. I managed to get a free trial of AVG, but now the virus seems to have gotten into that and is disrupting all my virus scans. When i first used it, it told me i had 2 trogan horses and 4 Adware something or other. But now, i the scan barely last 5 seconds before its stops and an error report pops up.
...it frequently shuts down my laptop
...am i gonna have to wipe the whole thing and start again??

PC:

I have an even worse virus on my PC. I don't know what happened and i didnt get the chance to do a virus scan because now only the background comes up when i switch it on. I don't even have a start bar anymore.... It isnt allowing me to do anything!
...I fear that your going to tell me something about using safe mode and command prompt and i'm gonna be so clueless....

EDIT: If necessary, how/how long would it take to copy my hard drive to an external hard drive with only using command prompt in safe mode?

PLEASE HELP!!!! :'( :S :confused:

Hi Isabelle, welcome to daniweb. Let's begin with that laptop first ok, see if we can get it cleaned up and THEN go onto the desktop. It would be too confusing for both of us to try to work on both at the same time. First of all, you have answered one of your own questions;

I don't know how i got it as i didnt download anything but i did open a torrent file.

That is more than likely how you got it.
What operating system do you have on the laptop? XP....Vista?
I would like you to try to do this ;

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
* If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
* Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
* When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
* Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
* When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.

...I fear that your going to tell me something about using safe mode and.... i'm gonna be so clueless....

Just take a breath, be calm. Very easy to do, really. Here are instructions for both XP and Vista since I don't know your operating system.

Windows XP

Using the F8 Method

1. Restart your computer.
2. When the machine first starts again it will generally list some equipment that is installed in your machine, amount of memory, hard drives installed etc. At this point you should gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with a Windows XP Advanced Options menu.
3. Select the option for Safe Mode with Networking using the arrow keys.
4. Then press enter on your keyboard to boot into Safe Mode with Networking.

Windows Vista

Using the F8 Method

1.Restart your computer.
2.When the computer starts you will see your computer's hardware being listed. When you see this information start to gently tap the F8 key repeatedly until you are presented with the Windows Vista Advanced Boot Options.
3. Select the Safe Mode with Networking option using the arrow keys.
4.Then press the enter key on your keyboard to boot into Vista Safe Mode with Networking.
5. When Windows starts you will be at a typical logon screen. Logon to your computer and Vista will enter Safe mode.

Now I ask for Safe Mode with networking because this way, when in just Safe Mode this loads the computer with the barest essentials necessary to run and without the modem files. Safe Mode with Networking will also allow the modem files to start too and therefore you should be able to also get online and download the necessary programs. Let me know if this is possible for you. If you can do this then download Malwarebytes' and install, update and then run the scan and let it fix whatever it finds while it is STILL in safe mode.
It may say something will be deleted on reboot. If so just shut down and reboot the computer as you normally do...this time it will boot into normal mode and remove the bad files while it boots up.
Post back here with the log.
Judy

P.S. also while in Safe Mode with Networking download HiJackThis Just save it to the desktop or My Documents. Don't run it yet.
Once you have done the Malwarebytes' and rebooted to normal mode then run a full system scan with HiJackThis and save the log and post it back here with the Malwarebytes' log.

hi. firstly, thankyou for taking the time to try to help me. its appreciated.

Ok, i tried to download the ani malware you recommended but i couldnt even get onto the site. Its blocked. I am in safe mode right now and i just tried it again, but even in safe mode, the site is still blocked. what should i do? Is there any way around it? Can i still download it if it is uploaded somewhere other than the official site?

:S

jholland1964 650 Posting Expert Team Colleague Featured Poster

Not sure what is going on here, this is not actually a website but the actual executable file. What happens when you double click on that in my post, does it actually say the website is blocked?
In Internet Explorer go to Tools, Internet Options, Security. Click on Trusted Sites and put in there
http://www.besttechie.net/tools/
and click OK.
Also make sure your security settings are not too high. Move that glider over for now to Medium-Low and also click on Custom Level and scroll down and put \"dots\" in the following;
Automatic Prompting for File Downloads Enable and in File Downloads Enable
Click Ok and close that out.
Now first try to click on my link for the Malwarebytes' program and see if you still get a blocked message. What you SHOULD get is a prompt about downloading the program and where do you want it saved, desktop is what you should say. If that doesn't happen then go directly to the website above and the very last item on the list is mba-m. click that.
Judy

Just tried all that. Security settings were already lowered, tried it with both Internet exploer and Firefox. This is what i get:

\"Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.besttechie.net.


* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.\"

This comes up for pretty much all sites that might help me, anti virus sites, McAfee live chat etc. Do you think its the virus interferring? This only happens for pages i try to load that are connected with helping me get rid of the virus.

what you said i should get is what i usually do get but since i have had this virus i havent been able to access anything that would help get rid of it!

It did let me dowload a trial version of AVG, which said it got rid of it, but actually didnt. Plus i already had McAfee but that doesn't even pick up the virus. Any ideas?

\"Member
jholland1964 650 Posting Expert Team Colleague Featured Poster

Can I ask what was the exact name of the virus? Did you ever have an antivirus program on the computer or only install one after the fact? Do you have a firewall? Is it enabled? How are you connected to the internet?

\"Member
isabelle13 0 Newbie Poster

Sure, i'll do my best. Virus name: A virus scan i did said i had Trogan horses and Adware, plus there is other stuff but i dont know it. I think part of the virus is go.google.

I had McAfee on the laptop before i had the virus, and that doesnt pick up on it. I downloaded the trial of AVG after i had the virus as it as the only thing it would let me download. That did one successful virus scan but didnt get rid of it all properly, and now all the scans i try cut out 5 seconds in.

Firewall: Yes we do, and yes it is enabled, but its not locked down. (<I dont know what that means but was told to tell you that)

Internet Connestion: Wireless.

Hope that helps as this thing is driving me crazy!

\"Member
jholland1964 650 Posting Expert Team Colleague Featured Poster

Number one, if you all ready had McAfee on the system you never should have added AVG.
The rule is only ONE antivirus program installed on the computer.
Now you said

A virus scan i did said i had Trogan horses and Adware,

I need to know the name of the virus scan...where did you get it and why? Especially if you all ready had McAfee. If it was an online scanner that is different but if it is another program you downloaded then this is and has compounded your problem. What happened to the McAfee program, where is it? Why did you run another scan if you all ready had that one?
Your firewall \"could\" be blocking the downloading of these programs, though if you couldn't do it in Safe Mode with Networking I don't know. There firewall shouldn't have come on in safe mode I wouldn't think.

I want to attach User Instructions to a Java application, and allow the user to open it from the help menuitem.

I'm not very familiar with classpath variables. If I use an absolute path name everything is fine, such as

File pdfFile = new File(\"C:/Program Files/MyProgram/UserGuide.pdf\");

But I want to package the UserGuide in the jar file (to avoid issues openning it on a Mac or Linux machine, and prevent the user from deleting it etc.).

So I want to access it using

File pdfFile = new File(\"files/UserGuide.pdf\");

where files is a directory in the package where the main method's class is located. But I get an error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: files\\UserGuide.pdf (The system cannot find the path specified)

In Eclipse how do I achieve this?

I haven't tried this (although I have used a similar approach to opening an InputStream to a file in a jar many times). But maybe its worth a try?

File f = new File((getClass().getResource(\"files/UserGuide.pdf\").toURI()));

You'll probably have to catch a URISyntaxException, although there should never be one

\"Member

Yes I tried that, and it worked when I run the application from within Eclipse. But when I export to a Runnable Jar File and run the jar file it does not work.

Perhaps I am not exporting to a Runnable jar file correctly?

The way you mention is similar to the way I handle images, which works fine. I use

java.net.URL imgURL = MyClass.class.getResource(\"images/myImage.png\");\n        if (imgURL != null) {\n            return new ImageIcon(imgURL);\n        } else {\n            System.err.println(\"Couldn't find file: \" + path);\n            return null;\n        }

But for some reason this works for images in the /images/ folder but not for the pdf file in the /files/ folder?

Observation...
I think your Your \"/\"s should be \"\\\"s.
And, you should probably double them. (ie. \"files\\\\UserGuide.pdf\")
This SHOULD get you a little further.

Hi,

I'm new to Java and I need help with the following if someone can help me:

Write a program named Personnel that maintains salary information for the employees of a company. The program should display a text based menu, giving the user a choice of selecting a command.

The commands that the program should support are: n (create new employee by pressing the n button), l (list all employees), p (compute all paychecks), r (raise wages), and q (exit the
menu).

The n command creates a new employee and prompts the user for the name of the employee, and whether the employee is an hourly paid, or has an annual salary. If the user selects to create
an hourly paid employee, he/should be prompted for the hourly rate, otherwise he/should be prompted for the annual salary of the employee.

The p command calculates and displays on the screen the amount that it should be paid to each individual employee who already exists in the system. Assuming that hourly paid employees have been created, the p command should ask the user for the number of hours that each individual hourly paid employee has worked for.

The r command should prompt the user for a percentage rate. All salaries (annual and hourly) should be increased by this rate.

Additionally, the user should be able to display all the employees with an annual salary in ascending order, according to their salaries. I.e. the employee with the smallest salary should
be displayed first, the employee with the second smallest salary should be displayed next, etc
.
The program should implement the classes Employee (abstract class), HourlyEmployee, SalariedEmployee with appropriate methods.

Implement a test class which creates instances of all the implemented classes and tests their functionality.
---------------------

I've done a text based menu displaying the above options, but what do I put in the switch case for the menu for the different cases?

case 'N' : ???????

Seems to me you would put the code to carry out the operations you've been instructed to perform for each of those menu options.

Perhaps if you can post some code and ask more specific questions, someone here can help you out. They won't write it for you though.

\"Member

You will create separate classes for your employees and they will have the attributes that are described in your assignment (name, hourly paid, ... ). Then the user eneters 'N' you will read the input specified, create a new object 'employee' and add to a list of employees (Use the java.util.Vector or the java.util.ArrayList class)

You will have methods that take as an argument the above Vector with employees and calculate what it is asked.

hmm... sounds like an assignment to me, show us some code which asserts us about the work done by you and as mentioned above ask specific questions where you might get stuck up, then we may be able to assist you further.

\"Member
verruckt24 438 Posting Shark

Also to get you started on it...when working with a OO langauge always break down the problem domain into classes and methods.
You have most of it done since you have been given classes too. Now you can identify the individual methods that should be put into each class and write your code.

hi NN

VB.Net is not difficult to learn though. If you have learned or programmed VB before (VB6), you should have the foundation already. The major different of VB6 and VB.Net is VB.Net now is part of a larger system named. Visual Studio 2005. Previously VB is an individual applicatin development tool but if has been integrated into Visual Studio 2005. VB.Net is a object oriented programming language. Unlike the previous version, you may struggle a little initially when you pick up vb.net as you need to understand namespaces, objects, classes, overloading, etc. I hope this will not scare you off. As long as you have learned VB before, you should not worry. The base structure of the language such as iteration, decision making syntax ,etc remains the same.

I would suggest you to pick up the following books to kick start your learning process

1. Visual Basic for Dummies (Wiley Publishing)
2. Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step (Microsoft Press)
3. Visual Basic 2005 JumpStart (O'Reilly)

Once you have mastered some basic skills from these books, you may wish to take a look at the WROX series book from Wiley Publishing. These books are OK but not for beginners. You may sometime 'lost' somewhere if you try to use WROX series book to teach you the basic of VB.Net.

Hope this will help. If need some help during the course of learning VB.Net, do drop me an email or message. I will try to help if possible.

cheers

Hi,

Start with good tutorials or with good books. Try this title:\"Database programming using vb.net and sql server\", by VK publishers. This books will give you the complete application development in vb.net.

The Python list container can be used for many practical things.

No offense to anyone is intended, the outcome with the sets was a surprise to me.

Python v.2.4 has sets built-in. With earlier version you have to import sets.

Re use Mysql result set in Perl

vaibhav1983 1 Junior Poster

Hi ALL,

I am writing a script to retreive entries from a DB. And then I loop through all the entries.

Once I am done looping through all the result sets, I have to re-loop over them again.

This is done in an infinite loop (Please don't ask why to do it infinitely :P).

The script is as follows.

$sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute;
while()
{
while(@row = $sth->fetchrow_array())
{
//Working on the row returned.
}
}

The code has a wrapped infinite loop around it. So you can see the code as well, how I want it to work.

$sql is the sql query I am firing.

In PHP we have a function mysql_data_seek to resuse the result set.

Do we have something similar in Perl?
I am using DBI to make connection with MySql Database.

I will appreciate any help!

Regards
Vaibhav

I don't think you can re-use a result set with DBI base on this quote from this tutorial:

Cursors are used for sequential fetching operations: records are fetched in the order in which they are stored within the result set. Currently, records cannot be skipped over or randomly accessed. Furthermore, once a row addressed by a cursor has been fetched, it is ``forgotten'' by the cursor. That is, cursors cannot step backwards through a result set.

I think you could do what you want by moving the $sth->execute; into the start of your outer loop. Really you would be re-querying the database each time you iterate through that loop.

An alternative would be to copy each array into an array of arrays and iterate through that. Make sure you copy and save each array the array reference points to, instead of copying the same array ref multiple times, or you will end up with only the last row's data saved.

\"Member
d5e5 109 Master Poster

I haven't tried this, but have a look at selectall_arrayref
Looks like @result = @{ $dbh->selectall_arrayref($sql, { Slice => {} }) }; puts all the rows of the result set into an array which you can then loop through as many times as you want.

I have a daemon I'm working on that seems to bomb out in the middle of strcmp, WAY down in the bowels of the ODBC library. It would run for hours, then just mysteriously quit (well, as mysteriously as a SIGSEGV can be)- classic memory corruption symptom. So, I built it with Electric Fence (which, at least superficially, seems a pretty nifty product). When I start it with gdb, this is what I get, pretty much immediately, as the program is initializing:

I've got at least two questions here: I wrote my own quick and dirty strcmp to at least try and find out what the comparison strings were, but, although all the code I wrote picks up my strcmp, this part of the code doesn't.

Why would it use two different copies of strcmp?
How do I force it to use my version?

Here's the compile line, with all make substitutions done:

gcc rssd.cpp topic.o user.o subscription.o smsClt.o -o rssd -g -D_LINUX -I ~anw/Software/Headers -I /usr/include/nptl -L /usr/lib/debug -L~anw/Software/Libraries -L /usr/lib/nptl -D _LINUX -DNETDATASVC_EXPORTS -lApp -lLog -lxml -lxerces-c -lstdc++ -lpthread -lSimpleNet -lSerPort -lodbc -lDBUtils -lefence
rm topic.o subscription.o user.o smsClt.o

My strcmp is in the library ~anw/Software/Libraries/libDBUtils.a.

Note, also, that I have the debug versions of the standard libraries installed (the -L /usr/lib/debug switch), and, evidently, it's not picking up those either.

TIA,
anw

>Why would it use two different copies of strcmp?
Presumably the two copies are the standard strcmp and your own strcmp with the same name. Overriding a standard function with a custom function of the same name is tricky business.

>How do I force it to use my version?
Give your version a unique name and make sure that the unique name is used instead of strcmp.

Is that what doing \"gcc -v\" told you?

I'm at least a little suspicious about whether ~ expansions work or not in this context.

Also, why are you using gcc to compile C++?
The usual method would be to use g++, then you get all the correct libraries and startup code executed.

\"Member

The whole point is to replace the standard strcmp with my own; I want setlocale, in particular to use it because that is where the problem is. I don't want just my code to use it.

Why is it picking up the libc version instead of mine? And, if it wants to get the system version, why won't it take the debug version in the directory specified with the -L /usr/lib/debug switch, since that is first on the library line?

TIA
anw

\"Member
anw -2 Newbie Poster

No, that's not what gcc -v told me, it's what make echo'd back. Will that not be the same?

Good point about ~expansions. I'll try that.

Also good point about gcc vs. g++. Don't know what the differences are; I've compiled a lot of C++ code with gcc, but I think now is a good time to start using the right tool for the job. Could be there is some weird interaction between all these strange new libraries I'm using and not using g++. xerces is specifically a C++ package, and odbc is specifically a C package. I'll make that particular change right now.

Thanks.

Saying g++ means that all the correct options get passed to the linker (not just -lstdc++, lot of other goodies as well no doubt).

One important thing may be arranging for global constructors and destructors to be called.

> strcmp()
Look up the --wrap linker command line switch, which allows you to replace one function with another.

Hi all,

How to create refresh Button in the form? I have combo box with the
data linked to Access database. I create another form for data input for
those that appear on the combo box. When I close the input form, I
realise that the data is not yet appear on the combo box. I have to
close the first form, then open again. Then the data had included on the
combo box. Instead of doing this thing, I believe refresh button will
help a lot.

Any help please.

The best way in getting the data loaded to your combo box is to write a function and then call it every time you need to re-load the data \"refresh data\".

You will use something like -

Private Function LoadMyData()\n\nSet rsLoadMyData = New ADODB.Recordset\n\nrsLoadMyData.Open \"SELECT MyChosenFieldToLoad FROM MyDataTable\", conn, ....\n\nCombo1.Clear\n\nDo while rsLoadMyData.EOF = False\n   combo1.AddItem rsLoadMyData!MyChosenFieldToLoad\n   rsLoadMyData.MoveNext\nLoop\n\nEnd Sub

Under say a command button click event, you will have the following -

Call LoadMyData\n\nfrmInputData.Show\n\nUnload Me

I hope this is what you were looking for.

you can connect the crystal report to both of your access table or any query that you created for the purpose. but it is better that you use an query in your report. the steps are :-

1. first create the table and then create an query
2. in the crystal report ide select new->as a blank report(from the gallary wizard)
3. from the data explorer window expand the database files folder and double click find database file
4. then locate ur access db and open it
5. if the database is passwd protected then mention it
6. after this all of ur tables and all associated queries will be displayed
7. then the option will be on ur hand whether you need to use an table or query to build the report. just double click to add it to the field explorer.

now if you need to access the database from ur application by cracking the password u can try this code :-

dim db as database,rs as recordset

Set db = OpenDatabase(\"<your database file path>\", False, False, \";pwd=<your database password>\")
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset(\"<your table name\", dbOpenTable)


hope this is enough for your purpose
let me know if this works out for you.

I have a hard drive that is meant to have Win7 installed. It cancels the installation by itself, right at the beginning, error code 0x80070017.

I tried formatting x: from cmd and it says it's write protected. Tried with d: and I'm not allowed.

Several sources on various sites have reported similar issues. The most common answer that many have agreed to have solved this problem is that the media that you are using to install Windows needs to be re-burned at a slower burning speed.

Is this is genuine Windows DVD? If you have the ISO and burned your own media, either burn it a slower speed, or use a USB device to install from.

\"Member
blackmiau 0 Junior Poster

It's a copy of the original, which is official and paid for, and safely kept in the City Hall's vault for some reason... It's also the one we're using for the Library's computers with no failed installations so far. I think it might be the dvd drive that stops responding at some point.

\"Member

Ok so if you have already tested this media on other computers and you havent encountered an issue, I would agree that this media is likely to be good. OR, the DVD player in that particular computer isnt able to read that media burned at that speed, OR as you suggest.. there could be a problem with the DVD drive itself.

its fairly easy and quick to swap out the DVD drive and test again.

Looking at the partitions on the 2nd screen cap, I seriously doubt that this was a DVD/DVD drive issue. This looks more like something to do with the partitions going awry. The \"System Reserved\" and \"Boot\" paritions are created by the OS when installed and are usually hidden and should not be visible. I would instead try to clean the entire hard drive using the diskpart command. Heaven knows I've resolved a number of such issues using diskpart. If anyone wants to know the exact commands, let me know and I'd be happy to elaborate :)

There is some sotware called Toba here:

But I guess there wasn't much call for it, as it isn't supported and only works for Java 1.1.

If you are looking to compile Java to native code you can do that directly without the C step. Which also can be found via the above link or just Google a bit.

Yeah, that is definitely CLI stuff, with .NET so it is completely unrelated to what I am talking about... It is probably in C# or something, but I don't like .NET languages. C++CX is C++ with Component Extensions, so it is easier to make metro applications.

The latest variants of viruses cause this problem on several of my client's site. If you telnet into the router, you will see tonnes of outgoing connections to random Ip addresses.

Thus if one machine on the network is infected, it is enough to slow down the Internet connection to 0. Because the virus is trying to push 100MB of outgoing traffic through your 512k/1MB cable or broadband connection.

Spywares are also another culprit but to a lesser extend.

For the people who fixed it by downloading Zone Alarm, do you actually know what was wrong?

There are infected machines on the Internet that will attempt to compromise your system via the various exploit on Microsoft OSs, namely Windows 2000 and XP.

The code of the worm were badly written, thus causing reboots on Windows XP but not Windows 2000 machines. That doesn't mean that the 2000 machines are not infected but rather the worm runs properly on it.

By installing Zone Alarm, common ports that these worms attack (port 445) are closed thus you do not get the rebooting.

You should still patch your system thorough through Windows Update.

I'm having some IE problems. I can only view web pages on IE for 10 minutes when my computer first boots up, after that, I cannot display any pages. I have Internet connectivity, I can ping sites and use instant messenger, however no web pages will load. Any thoughts???

I was having the exact same problem, and found a solution. My solution worked on a machine running Windows XP Pro, SP2.

The culprit was a malware trojan which had installed itself as winlogon32.exe in the \\system32 directory. I became suspicious when I saw the program asking ZoneAlarm for server rights, in the middle of my internet browsing session.

The solution is to prevent the program from starting up with windows. If you are infected, this program will be called from the registry to start with windows. I disabled it by using a free startup manager called CodeStuff Starter and unchecking all references to the program (in my case, it was being called 3 times!). Then reboot, and you should be good to go.

I have read that particular trojan can also go by several other names, so in your case it might not be winlogon32.exe. Oh, by the way, running AdAware and Spybot did not find this trojan, so until they update it, you've got to make the repair manually as I described.

Hope this works for you, I know it is a frustrating problem.

select CCleaner & Click \"Run Cleaner\" click \"yes\" next it displays the list of things
with the select option & every thing unwanted will be erased.

next select the \"Issues\" from the \"CCleaner\" window click on \"Scan for Issues\"
by default all the list of things displayed below will be selected then click on
\"Fix selected issues... then in the pop up window click \"No\"then in the next window
click the button with Fix All Selected Issues this will clear most of the issues.

next select the \"Tools\" from the \"CCleaner\" window check if you have any un wanted program
which is not displayed in the add remove prograns you can remove them from here.

then close this CCleaner

Click on the EzPCFix from the auto run Program window

Click the \"Load Hives\" from the Ez-Pc-Fix window once loded.

do not select users on the left side select the Registry Keys and
double click this and you will find the \"algs.exe\" select this and click on Remove items.
then close the Registry Key window.

select and double click the \"Service\" select and remove any unwanted programs.

Thats it now you can connect to the internet without any problem or limits

Welcome to Daniweb!

I have always wondered what this \"ALG.EXE\" is (Sounds like spyware)

So what happens if you \"End task\" on it?? (No network?)

I had the same problem but I found out what caused it really! ....
......................................................................
I found that the problem was zonealarm if you have installed zonealarm recently and uninstalled it recently and this started to happen first check if you have fully uninstalled zonealarm second go to c:/window/system32/(the zone alarm folder delete and I think the net should start working again hope it helps :)

Just had the same issue this afternoon while fixing a customer's PC, and worked for 4 hours on it: removed everything suspect from startup and services with HiJackThis, checked hidden processes with SmitFraudFix, rolled back the PC with System Restore a few times, used WinSockXPFix and LSPFix... I tried everything I saw on forums etc. The PC was CLEAN. It had eTrust PC Security (or something like that) which I uninstalled. Later I found that it has a bundled Zone Alarm, so started digging on manual uninstall of ZoneAlarm. Supposedly there should be a ZoneAlarm folder on System32 but there wasn't, so I manually looked for ZoneAlarm files on System32 and found vsdatant.sys, tried to delete and file was in use. I then booted to Safe Mode, deleted the file and voilà! Worked like a charm! I hope someone finds this information useful. Now a question: does somebody know a way to find the \"running\" .sys drivers on a PC? If such tool exists, it could have saved me a lot of time while searching for the problem. Take care!

Here's I fixed my http connection dying after 10 minutes. Strangely was able to access https and ping websites.

Ran spybot, adware, regmechanic, hijackthis, anti-virus, malwarebytes to no avail!

The problem was Zone Alarm or some spyware acting as Zonealarm

Go to Start > Programs > ZoneLabs and click Uninstall, or uninstall ZA using Control Panel > Software > Add/Remove Programs.

If a security check appears, click Yes and continue the uninstall procedure.

* REBOOT

* Make sure hidden files and folders are shown. To do so open Windows Explorer. Depending on your OS click Tools or View and then Folder Options > View.

Choose Show hidden files and folders, uncheck Hide protected operating system files (Windows 2000/XP/2003 only) and click OK.

* Next go to Start > Search > Files and Folders. Make sure the location box is set to search your Local Hard Drive (usually C:\\ ) or All Local Drives. Also make

sure the Advanced Search Options are set to search subfolders and hidden files. Now copy the entire line below, paste it into the search box and click Search Now.


Zonelabs; \"zone labs\"; \"Internet logs\"; vsconfig.xml; vsdata.dll; vsdata95.vxd; vsdatant.sys; vsmon.*; vsmonapi.dll; vsnetutils.dll;vspubapi.dll; zaplus.*; zapro.*; zllictbl.dat; zlparser.dll; zonealarm.exe; zoneband.dll; vsutil.dll; zlclient.*

A list of files and folders belonging to ZoneAlarm will appear in the Search Results pane.

Note: if you’re using McAfee software be sure to check the vsutil.dll if found: right click the file and choose Properties. Verify it belongs to ZoneLabs.

If it does not do not remove it. Now proceed by deleting all ZoneLabs files and folders that were found.

* Empty the Recycle Bin.

* Now remove all ZoneLabs keys that may be left in the Windows registry. To do this copy the lines below and paste them into Notepad.

Save the file as zabegone.reg, double click it and allow for the registry changes to be made.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


REGEDIT4

[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\ZAMailSafe]

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Zone Labs]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Zone Labs]

[-HKEY_USERS\\.DEFAULT\\Software\\Zone Labs]


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


* REBOOT

ZoneAlarm will now be completely removed from your computer. If you wish to install a new copy of ZA, be sure to do so under an administrator account

with full rights and permissions.

That's all!

SOLVED
This file might be your problem

vsdatant.sys

to correct the situation set the value to 3. Here is how

click start

go to run

type: regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SYSTEM
Currentcontrolset
Services
vsdatant
change the parameter in ''Start'' to 3.

This will surely solve your problem. The current value is probably 2, it needs to be 3

Your problem was as follow:
HTTP sites are blocked after 10 minutes while the HTTPS and FTP sites are still active. You needed to reboot in order to gain access once again the HTTP web sites but only for 10 minutes.

I hope this solves your problem

C# Chat Application Push technology

\"Member
TotoTitus 6 Junior Poster in Training

Hello everyone,
I need some advice.

I have been given an assignment to construct some kind of chat application which uses push technology (In C#, so i have socket objects and all that)
Reading on the internet, i came to know that push technology means in essence, that not the client makes requests, but the server updates content when 'it thinks it's appropriate' (mostly on a time-based schedule, or as soon as new data arrives).
Now i need a few ideas an hints, from you guys who are more knowledgeable in this domain.
My main questions arise here:
If a client logs in, and starts chatting with another one, a regular messenger client would open a connection to the other client, essentially making it a Peer2Peer mini-application, with no server interference. The only actual role of the server would be to update the list of contacts as they 'log in' and 'log out'.
Is this particular implementation good? How do other messenger-chat-apps work? Shouldn't the information pass through the server? If the server's only role is to announce who is 'logged in' and 'logged off', then why bother implementing push technology? (I've been given the assignment, with the words 'push technology' stressed out).
Also some advice regarding socket implementation / problems encountered is appreciated.

Looking forward to hearing your answers.
Thank you.

\"Member
Diamonddrake 397 Master Poster

I have never heard the term \"Push Tech\" but To my knowledge most chat applications go through the server for everything. But there is a possible peer to peer relationship that can be established.

Normally. The client messengers contact the server. the server has a thread pool of sockets blocking waiting to accept new client connections. Then once the handshake is made, the socket with the client connection is passed to a thread pool for redirecting messages. And the client's login name is added to a list. Then when a client sends a message to another client. It actualy is sending the message to the server like\"attention:client name: message\" the server then write that message to the socket for that intended client. The client has a thread constantly blocking on a socket read waiting for new mesagges. once it gets one it shows it to the user and goes back to blocking on a socket read. and the gui thread is always open to write outgoing messages or update the display.

now in a server logged peer2peer situation, Clients connect to a server just to tell the server where they are, who they are, and what they can do, and get a list of that information about other logged in clients. So then each client has the information it needs to make a direct connection to other clients. But this requires ports to be opened and other hassles. But it keeps the load off the server, so a small server can provide for many clients.

There are TONS of examples online of how to make chat applications. It doesn't really take 20 minutes to write a real world usable chat server and client in .net.

Have fun with it. I know I did.

I've just come over another thing: My application should handle ~10.000 connections at the same time, and i've read that TcpListener / TcpClient, while providing a higher level of abstraction, are 'slower' than the simple base Socket class. Is this true? Should i use a Tcplistener for the server, and socket objects for clients ?

\"Member
Diamonddrake 397 Master Poster

The wrapper classes are technically slower than the base socket class. But if you need the functionality of them you will end up building your own wrapper for the base socket class that will likely have its own performance drawbacks.

So its not exactly a simple question. Best I can advise it to research other programmers results and see what combination of techniques best serves your purpose.

I've done some few hours of work, i came up with this...but for some reason it ain't working...
I've made two separate projects for the client and server: They should be able to communicate with each other, but they aren't.

Well for starters you are using 2 separate stream objects, and using them quite oddly.

you should just be using 1 NetworkStream object instead of your stream reader and writer objects. NetworkStream clientstream = client.GetStream() This will allow you to read and write to the network with one object and its also important that you always write Bytes to the stream. you can't just write text to the stream you need to convert the text to a byte array in a buffer and send it in chunks. small strings it doesn't matter much. But if it were an entire paragraph you aren't going to get 1 to 1 writes and reads.

But none of that really matters. It doesn't work because your two application use DIFFERENT PORTS! your client is trying to connect to port 1000 while your server is listening on port 4296. Change the port in the connect method of the client app to match the listener on the server and you should be good to go. assuming that you have your ports forwarded on your network, unless of course you use local host.

Also your threading is kinda sketchy, but it should work. that application.doevents() appears to be used in an odd fashion. See what you can do with the information i have given you. If you can't get it working right I will go back and edit the projects and re-post them. I would have already done that. But you are doing a great job and its so much more empowering to figure it out yourself with a little nudge. That and I'm kinda busy at the moment. i just wanted to stop by and participate in the world as I do from time to time.

Alright, i've made the client-server thing work, i mean they can communicate.
But i've been thinking how to make stuff work on a larger scale, and i've come with this idea:
Every client employs one UDP socket and one TCP socket. The TCP socket is used to communicate with the server(stable connection) and the UDP socket is used to communicate with everyone else. The server would handle only logon/logoff messages transmitted between the clients, and everything else would be handled by the UDP sockets.
I've made this small application (in the final stage, the IP list would be supplied by the server, for now you have to add the IP's yourself). Some sort of communication is going on, but when i try to communicate with myself (127.0.0.1) the whole thing freezes ( a form is created form each private chat ) .
I need some guidelines on this one, especially on threading issues.
Thanks !

Out of curiosity have you read the WCF/WPF Chatter codeproject article?
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/WCF/WCFWPFChat.aspx

You could use WCF to generate proxy clients that will handle threading for you by applying attributes on the contract implementation. There is also a \"workaround\" for using shared assemblies (instead of proxies) and having .NET handle the threading for you:
http://ayende.com/Blog/archive/2008/03/29/WCF-Async-without-proxies.aspx

I have also read over this thread and i'm not seeing a compelling reason for deciding on p2p, nor why you would use UDP over TCP. Usually UDP is used for RTP (real time protocols) such as video streaming or voice streaming. UDP does not ensure data delivery so if packets are lost -- then transmissions are lost, meaning a crackle in the phone or missed updates on your video player. With TCP they would \"catch up\" and replay the missed media (undesired). With text-based chat I believe you want to ensure the message was transmitted properly. You also run in to numerous issues with firewalls etc etc when using a p2p approach. Take a look at the IRC protocol.

kvprajapati commented: Good point. +9
\"Member
TotoTitus 6 Junior Poster in Training

Alright, i'll try to go on. But the reason i tried going UDP is that i read somewhere on codeproject that TCP generates a lot of overhead, and that connectionless transmitting of data is very efficient.
Erm...as a response to you first link....i'll try to study it (i already looked at it) but hey, it's huge !. Maybe it sounds stupid, but can't i make a working-with-minimum features app with only ~300-500 lines of code? (not that i wouldn't write more, but i want to know exactly what i'm plunging into). thnks.

\"Member
Diamonddrake 397 Master Poster

interesting article sknake, but titus i can agree that its a LOT of code. I wouldn't worry about the overhead of a TCP socket, Each user isn't going to have 120 open convertsations. As sknake pointed out, UDP is best used for live streams like audio. If you were to add a skype feature to your chat app. you would certainly want that p2p UDP connection. But just for text. TCP is best.

Using the P2P system you are pointing out would put significantly less stress on the server. But the question here is, are you planning to have 20,000 users? If not, having the server handle everything would be fine, assuming you created a nice thread pool that would cycle through pending messages and deploy them.

Its always nice to have your tools handle the trouble spots for you. like apps that generate objects based on xml schemas and tools that create asynchronous methods from a class or even compiled code. But it doesn't hurt when in a learning environment to try and do it by hand, just so you really know what's going on, how it works, and why it there.

Regardless, no matter how neat it is to make a chat application, unless you really feel like you can compete with Yahoo, Aim, MSNMessenger, Trillian, and Pidgin. Then its just a learning experience anyways. In which case, dive in and make mistakes that you learn from.

Problems adding video card; slot questions

\"Member
johnphoto 0 Newbie Poster

I have a P4 2ghz box running XP h ed; the mobo is made by Elite Group (ECS); BIOS build from mid-2002. Box assembler Wintergreen via Tigerdirect. mobo video is Radeon 7000 with VGA connector.

I need to run a 4-year-old Apple LCD monitor with DVI connector. I bought a Radeon 700 PCI DVI card, but while the PCI screen lights up, it only showed up as extended desktop at 640x480 (whether a DVI or VGA monitor was connected to PCI); primary screen was mobo VGA even if no monitor was connected to mobo. In Properties, make PCI primary monitor option grayed out; other options like changing resolution available, but didn't 'take' when OK or Apply was clicked. Card maker (Powercolor) said I have a conflict, talk to Wintergreen; they said that mobo MIGHT be able to automatically detect add-on card if it is AGP, probably not PCI, and couldn't help. Also that there might be jumpers on mobo, but I couldn't find any.

So I bought a AGP card (Geforce3 Ti 200), but XP hangs during startup with the card installed; and the drivers won't install if the card is not present. The card's fan doesn't spin. I tried booting with a Linux CD (that I use for Tivo tools) with just the AGP monitor connected, but no signs of life. (CD boots into Linux OK with mobo video).

The slot is 'universal', ie no notches. Any suggestions on what might be happening and what to try next?

Would a male VGA (card side) to female DVI adapter connected mobo be likely to work?

Ram question...mobo has two PC133 slots, and two empty slots of same length right next to them. After getting two more PC133 modules, I realized that the empty slots are keyed differently (one notch key) and a different color (red). Any clues as to what these might be?

I'm very familiar with upgrading/troubleshooting Mac, and computer-savvy enogh to use my Win box to upgrade Tivo for example, but a relative beginner to messing with Windows, eg just learning what BIOS are.

Thanks for any help--John Wilton

As of the two different RAM slots, I have seen some motherboards be able to take DDR or SDRAM. Be carefull, you can only run DDR OR SDRAM not both at the same time. Now for the video card issue. My tip would be to make sure that the onboard video was disable through the device manager. If your onbaord video is not disable it could be thinking you are wanting to run dual monitors. So by disabling your onboard you are making the computer use the video card. Hope this helps

Finding Unmapped Network Share Capacity in C#

Hi,

I've looked all over the web for several days and seem to find no answer to this issue. I would appreciate any leads. Thanks in advance for your time!

I need to find the underlying disk capacity (total size) of an unmapped network share in windows (Win7, XP, Server 2008), given a UNC path (e.g. given something like \"\\\\share_1\\subdir\").

I would have given up by now, if it weren't for the ability to find the underlying _free space_ of unmapped network shares, using the \"GetDiskFreeSpaceEx()\" Win32 function. I imagine that disk capacity is stored in a similar fashion to free space, hence retrieving it would be very similar (hence I'm somewhat infuriated with MS for not making the functionality obvious, or myself for not being able to find it thus far!)

Again, I would appreciate any knowledge you have to share on this point!

Regards,

vivri

I have a Seagate Internal HD where i have \"windows xp\" installed that isn't working properly due to shock however i can still turn it on but it only shows up a blank black screen and doesn't go no where. So i had to put it in an external enclosure with my other \"windows xp\" PC . Doing that I can access folders like \"programs\" and \"windows\" and \"guest documents\" however what i cannot do is try to go inside the owner/admistrator folder because i get the message \"access denied- this folder is unaccessible\". When i go to \"properities\" it says it has 0 bytes however when i click on the \"hard drive icon\" itself it says it does have almost all the 120 GB I have saved on the administrators account. I already tried running it on safe mode but it just restarts over and over and doesn't go through.

So please tell me how can I possibly recover files (only want to recover few very important documents only) where windows is installed and I am not getting premission to check the \"owner/adminstrators\" folder and documents.

You need to take ownership of the file first.

To do this you must be logged into the machine you are using as the administartor.

Then right click the folder and select properties > security > advanced.

Select the OWNER tab click edit select administrators check the check box to replace owner on all subfolder then click apply ok and ok;

If this works you may need to replicate these setting to all sub folder so you dont have to repeat this task on each folder.

If that's the case im not sure what this could be or what to do. You check that the folder is not encrypted and that you are logged in as the administrator and the real administrator not the visit admin attribute.

im not sure if this will help but good luck.

Hi,

Actually I am developing an application in python in which I want a feature by which the application can detect whether any name is male or female name. I did Google search on this, but could not find any algorithm/code by which I can do it. So finally I found a website which is doing the same thing pretty good.

http://www.i-gender.com/

So I was thinking to use their API in my application.

But before that just wanted to how they are detecting the gender from name?? Is it really possible to do it algorithmically??If yes please suggest some docs/links.

Here what I am trying to using http://www.i-gender.com/ API.

>>> import urllib2\n>>> import json\n>>> req = urllib2.Request(\"http://www.i-gender.com/ai\", \"name=jhony\")\n>>> resp = urllib2.urlopen(req).read()\n>>> decoder = json.JSONDecoder()\n>>> result = decoder.decode(resp)\n>>> print result['gender']\nmale\n>>> print result['confidence']\n100\n>>> \n

Thanks in Advance,

I did Google search on this, but could not find any algorithm/code by which I can do it.

I imagine the best approach would be a lookup from a database of names and gender probability. At its simplest the gender neutral names would be 50% confident and the strongly gendered names 100%. It could be improved by including birth year along with probabilities based on that name's popularity for certain genders in that year. Another approach would be to collect the name and gender of as many people as possible in census collections and base your probability off of the difference between the two counts for a name. So if you have 100,000 Jamie(M) and 76,000 Jamie(F), then the confidence of Jamie being male is about 57%.

Ultimately it's quite difficult, if not impossible, to heuristically guess gender with any confidence based on a name without a great deal of empirical data behind the selection.

\"Member
David1123 0 Newbie Poster

This is an interesting question.

Think about male/female names. I might be wrong, but more female names end in a vowel (not always). Male names sometimes end in a consonant moreso than vowels. Think Alex (male)/Alexandra (female); Cassandra, Krista, Alicia, Alissa, etc. all female. Of course there are hundreds of female names that end in consonants, but it seems the exception rather than the rule.

You could incoroporate such an algorithm to increase the confidence level.

Not to such a statistically significant extent that using it as a heuristic would do more than muddy the waters. You also need to take frequency into account. If a very common male name ends in a vowel, it greatly skews the results: Joe, George, Mike, Luke, Charlie, Danny, Kyle, Dale, Lee, Lawrence, Joshua, Jamie, Dane, Shane, Blake, Leo, Jay...hmm. ;)

Think Alex (male)/Alexandra (female)

Yet Alex is a shortening of both Alexander and Alexandra. Males and females go by Alex, so you're not much better off unless they give you the full name. And it gets worse. Alex can be a full name in and of itself for both genders.

Ahhh very true. Perhaps we can exclude e's, y's and o's......

I guess there's no way to code something like this. I suppose the way we humans know names are how we've heard them in the past, hence a database w/ frequencies is the only way to go.

Yes we can. So is it graphics? Or is it anit-virus?

Your anit-virus is in another thread.

As for graphics, ask a question we can answer. Post the code you're having trouble with. And if you are expecting us to teach you from ground up it's gonna take a looooong time -- best to check out some tutorials or better yet a book or class.

Have you read the forum the Rules?

\\1 or $1 is the first pattern that gets match ex

$pattern = \"~(\\<a)(.*)(/a\\>)~i\";\n\n//$1 will equal <a \n//$2 = everything after <a and before /a> etc...

a good way to know what values gets passed to $n is to do a preg_match($pattern, $str, $match) and do a print_r($match); which should output an array of what get's match.

\"Untitled40\" I'm trying to figure out how to add a new connection to MySQL running on a different computer on my network. When I click Project --> New Data Source a list of drivers appears, but none of them are MySQL (see thumbnail) which I have previously installed. I'm using 64-bit Windows 7.

I'm not sure what you are looking for with ANT and the command line. What is your goal? What are you trying to accomplish?

I use ANT for a few minor things, like uploading files via FTP, signing jar files, and copying some files from the build directory to another place for deployment. I put these tasks together with ANT so that afer building my application, I can quickly sign my application and then upload it to the site my customers run it from using JNLP. I never bothered editing build.xml; that's why I use an IDE. So netbeans uses ANT to handle the build process and I use netbeans so I can focus on writing my program. If you want to play with ANT, the Apache reference might be a good place to start.

You can run a java program from the command line with the commmand java [program name] followed by any parameters you want to pass to the main method. Your IDE (Eclipse for you, Netbeans for me) runs this command for you and you can configure any command line parameters in the run properties. Are you trying to create a command line (console application) of some kind?

\"Member

I will have to leave this thread open for a minute. If you dont mind. I to have used netbeans for years. I have had no luck creating the exec jar with dependencies.(store ex). I wanted to learn how to have more control over the next app. At the moment I have no defined pseudo plan because I am a little overwhelmed. I am finishing up the build.xml and I am new to eclipse and learning the web app. I can not think it throgh right now but the mentioned skills I mentioned my also allow me to write button actions to the processes you mentioned. Like a little 4 button IDE and possible editor to maintain my developed conventions in future apps. Not sure yet. Its just another neat tool. Thanks for your time.

You are right. Dirname , properties and xml are interesting to play with but java and utility classes out weigh dirname the build.xml does every thing we need.

Homework: filling array from text file

\"Member
harrypsk 0 Newbie Poster

Yes, this is homework, I'm not asking for a cut/past answer, just a pointer. I think I've developed brain lock form staring at this issue for too long. I'm using VB.Net 2003.

I've created half the assignment, using a form to add records to a text file. The second half is to read from that text file. You do so by selecting the id number from a combo box which then displays the remainder of the information for the record. I'm stuck on how to create an array, filled with values from the text file. Not sure how to proceed with reading only the id number for the combo, and then reading the remainder once the combo is used. Yes, a database would be easier, but this assignment requires the use of a text file. I understand the use of StreamReader, I guess I'm stuck on the loop function to read data into an array, and then displaying the items from the array.

The data in the text file looks like this:

Record ID 1
Data 1
Data 1
Data 1
Record ID 2
Data 2
Data 2
Data2

Thanks to anyone who takes a stab at giving me a few pointers.

Here's a little tip that should be enough to get you going (but not enough to do it for you ;))

dim data(999) as string 'initialise the array\nopen \"filename\" for input as 1 'open the file\nfor d% = 0 to 999 'start the loop\nif eof(1) = false then line input #1, data(d%) 'if the file hasn't ended read in the line\nnext d% 'end the loop\nclose 1 'close the file, it's messy to have it open

That's reading stuff into an array. To display it, perhaps you could use the ItemIndex (or whatever it's called) property and read data from the array like data(list.ItemIndex)?

Hope that makes sense,

\"Member
harrypsk 0 Newbie Poster

That was one point I wasn't sure about, now to handle an unknown length for the array. It's variable as there will be no telling how many lines and records will be in the text file. You used 999 to initialize, but the loop checks for end of file, so the array begins at 999 elements, but could actuall only have 20 if that's all the text file contains, correct?

Trekker182 0 Junior Poster in Training

Hello everyone!

I had a quick question on how to use pictures in a VB program. What I'm trying to do is when someone selects an item in a listbox, to show the corresponding jpg file. I selected the relevant jpgs from the desktop, copied them to the clipboard and then pasted them into the resources folder by right clicking on resoruces in the solution explorer and selecting paste and now they are listed under resources.

However, when I goto run the program and select one of the listbox items, I get a FileNotFoundException. The names of the files that I use in the code match those of the jpeg files that I want to use in resources. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Here's a copy of the relevant code....

If lstCarpets.SelectedIndex = 0 Then\n            picCarpet.Image = Image.FromFile(\"modern_geometric.jpg\")\n        ElseIf lstCarpets.SelectedIndex = 1 Then\n            picCarpet.Image = Image.FromFile(\"tufenkian.jpg\")\n        ElseIf lstCarpets.SelectedIndex = 2 Then\n            picCarpet.Image = Image.FromFile(\"MosqueDomee.jpg\")

You still have to tell it where the file is. It it something I have always had trouble with because your program is run in bin subdirectory and either debug subdirectory or release subdirectory and your folder isn't there it is two folders back.
What I do is copy the files into the resources and use them from there. Then you can use:
picCarpet.Image = My.Resources.modern_geometric.jpg

You have to copy the images into the resources. Copy your images to the clipboard. Double click on the MyProjects in the Solution Explorer. Click on the resources tab. Now right click on the background and select paste. Now all your images are resources. Now you can use your code.

I tried that and it still didn't work.

hi guys, this has been bothering me forever. my cpu scores in 3dmarks '03/aquamark 3 are all on par with the norm. they are 650/9463 respectively. real world gaming performance verify this. however, when i'm executing non-gaming apps in XP, my CPU rarely operates above 90% one thing that stands out the most is video rendering/encoding. (although i don't know the cpu usage during gameplay, performance is on par with published benchmarks, so i assume it's operating at maximum)

right now, i'm encoding video through Virtual Dub. when i look under cpu usage, it's only operating at 50%. isn't there something wrong? why is it not utilizing 100% of my cpu when encoding video? the following picture might better explain things. at the time of screenshot one processor is maxed out and the other sitting pretty at 0% (one logical cpu, XP sees 2 due to hyperthreading). just a few minutes prior both were operating at 50%...but the total usage still reamined 50%. i've even tried to set it's priority to realtime/high in the processes tab but it does nothing. and processor affinity shows both cpus under use by Vdub.

http://home.cogeco.ca/~konig/usage.JPG

the only times i see >85% cpu usage is when multiple applications are working away. is this the nature of HT? does it only allow one application thread a certain amount of cycles? i get simialar results when rendering video with premiere 6. i dunno, something must be wrong. my old 2.4b @ 2.8 (non HT) was always 99-100% loaded when rendering video.

(i can't recall video redering performance/speed of the 2.4b @ 2.8. so i can't really compare redering times between the \"b\" and \"c\" versions to find out if the \"c\" is infact faster at 50% load than the \"b\" at 100% load...although synthetic gaming benchmarks ala 3dmarks show higher scores for the C at same speeds)


I've installed the neccessary intel chipset stuff from the install cd that came with the mobo. i have the latest (well, almost latest) bios rev. is there something i might be missing in a bios setting? please help me before i waste mad monies calling intel support long distance. thanks guys.

Yes, that's the nature of HT. You get a \"second\" processor for \"free,\" though it's logical and not physical which you all ready understand quite clearly.

The reason why you see 50% usage with vdub is that vdub isn't multi-threaded, therefore it only uses one of the \"two\" available processors.

It's not hurting performance either way. You just have a \"second\" processor to handle the other tasks while vdub is hammering away at your Divx encodes. :)

mr.white 0 Newbie Poster

Dear forum members,

I'm working on an accounting software, which I was planing to do using C#. Now that I see there is WPF that I can use instead of WinForms, I would like to ask you a couple of questions.

  1. For an account software, which I would like to have it looking good, with dynamic graphs and \"easy on eyes\" with light animations (like apps on iphone, transitions etc), is C# .NET WPF a good choice? What would be your recommendations?
  2. And how can I skin the window completely? Like, iTunes working on a Windows machine. The window and the title bar is custom, but buttons for quitting the application or minimizing it still the Windows one. How can I do this with VS and C# with WPF?
  3. Once the project is complete, can I deploy it to work on a web browser? Is it possible? Because I read some stuff like this.
  4. what is it that I can do with C# and WPF that can't be done with Silverlight?

Also, dear members, do you have any favorite resource which teaches animation and design side of WPF?

Thank you very much.

I am relearning to use VB after taking classes almost 10 years ago. I am stumped on remebering how to open a file using a command button.

I have created some forms using VB that I want to activate from a main menu. I have made them .exe files and just want to navigate from one to another.

Thanks - John

Assume you are using VB 6 ... use the online help or MSDN and look up SHELL command ... but why did you make the forms into separate exe files? Using your main menu form you could code:

IF someoption is selected then
LOAD frm_name
frm_name.SHOW
Endif
the above will bring the form up and it will have the focus... now for some finesse in the new form's LOAD subroutine

main_menu_form.HIDE

in the new forms Query_Unload sub

main_menu.shw

I don't think you can go beyond 128000 which is down to hardware limitations.

Why do you want to go faster ?

Hi Kshrini,

I have done a quick check and most cards go to 115000bps, but there are some high speed cards available from a supplier I use that are claimed to go faster., and which you may care to look at. (Try looking for a cable company in Slough.)

Hi DenisOxon,

Our R&D develops the systems, in which we require higher speed for communication. So sending data from H/W at higher speed is not constraint but receiving through serial port of PC is using VB6 is constraint. Please check if you can get some information on this. Thanks for reply.

Sorry about the second thread, I forgot to include this on my first one.
Anyways, is it possible for someone to use the \"echo %text here% >> %location of file here%\" command to save some text to a file in a different folder? I did it, but got a message saying \"access denied\". I say someone do it with this code:

echo %finalmsg% >> \\\\BAS-307-15\\mikchat\\public.txt

But when I do it, for example:

echo %text% >> C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\Desktop\\log.txt

It doesn't work! Anyone know whats going on?

Well the problem with using echo %text% >> [i]C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\Desktop\\log.txt[/i] is that the C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\Desktop\\log.txt needs to be in quotes.

I would recommend that you use variables because you can define them at the top of the your code and change their value all throughout the code by simply changing them in one place, e.g.,:

set TEXT=\"Some Text\"\nset MYLOG=\"C:\\Documents and Settings\\%USERNAME%\\Desktop\\log.txt\"\n\n:: Or your can use this method as well\n::\n:: set MYLOG=\"%USERPROFILE%\\Desktop\\log.txt\"\n::\n:: That is the way that I setup a poorman's alias/macro\n:: list for my CMD Sessions. That way each user on the\n:: computer will have their own set of aliases/macros.\n\necho \"%text%\" >> \"%mylog%\"\n\ntype \"%mylog%\"

Using that method, all you have to do is make the change in the variable at the top and it is modified all throughout the program.

Reverend Jim 5,070 Hi, I'm Jim, one of DaniWeb's moderators. Moderator Featured Poster

I've noticed an appalling number of first time posters who post threads with titles like \"Help! Urgent!!!!\". The posts can be almost as useless as \"I'm trying to program something and I'm getting an error. What am I doing wrong?\". It would seem that few people are reading and following the posting guidelines. Even simple guidelines like

  • Make a meaningful title
  • Give sufficient information so the question makes sense
  • Supply all relevant information so the problem can be solved

My suggestion is to implement a system in which new posters (perhaps for the first 2-3 new threads) woul be shown the guidelines for a set time (15-20 seconds perhaps) before the editing fields are displayed or edited. I am not a web programmer so I do not know what is easy to implement.

I realize that anyone contributing to a thread gets credited when the thread is marked as solved and I feel like a cheat when I post \"show us what you have done\" or \"can you please clarify the question\", then not contribute further when I realize the question is not in an area where I feel I can contribute.

Hi Everyone,

I have one text box named txtYear.text and this text box will accept only Year Value i.e. 2011, 2012 and so on. Now i want to put a validation on the text box like, if user enters the value like 1,03,54 in text box then the system should show an error message to user saying that, the value is not year or something. The text box should accept only if the user enters valid year value like 2010, 1907 and so on.

I am working on VB.NET 2010 and the language is VB.

I have seek the help from google but failed to get the proper solution. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Try a function like this:

Private Function CheckIfYear(byval sYear As String) As Boolean\n    Try\n        Dim dt As New DateTime(Cint(sYear),1,1,1,1,1)\n        Return True\n    Catch ex As Exception\n        Return False\n    End Try\nEnd Function\n

Then use it in the TextBox's Leave event:

Private Sub TextBox_Leave(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Leave\n    If TextBox1.Text.Length = 4 Then\n        If CheckIfYear(TextBox1.Text) = False Then\n           MsgBox(\"You have entered an incorrect year\")\n           TextBox1.Focus()\n        End If\n    Else\n        MsgBox(\"Please enter a four digit date.\")\n        TextBox1.Focus()\n    End If\nEnd Sub\n

Might I recommond a read-through of: User Input Validation in Windows Forms. Also, Google \"winforms validation\"; you'll find some decent tutorials.

There are a few issues I have with Begginnerdev's suggestion:

  1. Not focusing on the textbox, bypasses the validation (eg. click an OK button before clicking the textbox). There are work-arounds, but aren't very scaleable.
  2. The user gets trapped until they enter a valid value. This is mostly personal preference, and not always a big issue.
  3. Message boxes for every invalid value can be a pain to the user. Again, personal preference, but a consideration.

I could go on, and have been in a few debates over this, but I want to point out that it isn't necessarily bad design. It comes down to personal preference in some sense, but I prefer other solutions that are more scalable and I think the user will be happier with.

you can use masked textbox, there you can customized the user input, then set MaxLength to '4' in the properties window. and if you need to limit the years you can use
If year < 2000 And year > 2050 then ... something like that

Flash Anomaly? Cannot run new image with working flash:

\"Member
mattyd 89 Posting Maven Featured Poster

I am rather new to Flash and I am having what I consider to be a strange result which I do not know how to address.

I am building an HTML site using CSS. Last week I embedded a SWF which scrolls a simple movie over the banner\\ header. This worked and works fine except for this; Today, I attempted to switch the banner image (JPEG) with another-- same file format (JPEG), same dimensions as the original header image. I edited the CSS to reflect the new header image name. I saved the CSS and switched to my index.html file to view the change and what I see is the previous header image still present with the Flash running over it. Wrong image. :sad: I tried a few things such as moving the old header image out of the image folder so it could not be accessed-- the old, moved image was still there on the HTML index preview :eek:. How could this possibly be?

Weird. It seems as if the Flash was somehow grabbing and holding the first image and always running this old image. As far as I can tell, it is not directly referenced in the embed code at all.

When I remove the entire Flash embed code the new header appears-- great:), but I want the Flash with it. :confused:

I closed the HTML editor and re-opened the index.html file (thinking it could be a memory error on my machine or something, not the code). This did nothing. The old banner\\ header STILL.

I've run out of things to try.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
MattyD.

I can think of only a few causes for this:

1. Your old banner was somehow incorporated into the flash image (maybe during image editing).

2. There is a place you missed in your code where the old image is still referenced.

3. Your browser is not refreshing.

Once you read the line, look for position of empty space in your string from beginning and then substring it. String method charAt(num) and substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex) will help you.
Second option is to use Serialization because you know how the text is formated (meaning text followed by number separated by one empty space)

TListBox and sorting

\"Member
Morten Brendefu 28 Light Poster

I did an experiment regarding sorting of 256.000 random \"names\" using TListBox component.
A friend of mine say that TListBox is faster than my code at sorting, so I wanted to test this out of curiosity.

Method of testing.
When I have created 256 thousand random textstrings, each 6 characters, I add these into a listbox that is invisible, hence no updating whilst adding.
Then I Press a button in order to do only one thing:
TListBox.Sorted:=TRUE
It takes about 5 seconds, and the control is returned to my form.
Does this mean that 256000 purely random strings have been sorted in that time?
My friend claim so.

Now for the big thing.
If it is sorted, why when I press another button in order to view the TListBox does this operation halt the computer for almost 3 minutes before the component shows the data?
I would think that this is because it is actually sorting the data now.

My routines that is a derivate of a binary approach is not by far fast, but it does the job of hiding the TListBox, copying the unsorted data from a TListBox into an Array, Then sorting this data through an index, deleting the data in the TListBox, adding all the data from my now sorted array, making TListBox visible, and all data can be viewed in the correct order instantly as the TListBox.visible:=TRUE.
The complete work takes almost one minute less than TListBox alone.

does anybody have any ideas as to why TListBox is so slow showing the data if it indeed has got the data sorted?

Best regards,
Morten Brendefur.

Am not sure what version of Delphi you have, and whether or not you have the source code. You could step through the TCustomListBox.SetSorted method, to see what actually happens. You may have to set some breakpoints, due to sending of messages.

For normal sorting speed-up on a visible listbox, you can set the Items.BeginUpdate, then Sort, then the Items.EndUpdate. Technically, it should not really differ from your visible technique in terms of speed. Can't say I've ever waited that long for a component to update it's contents.

\"Member
Morten Brendefu 28 Light Poster

I thought I could show you all my code for parts of this :-)

First I create 256000 random names with this procedure:

procedure TForm1.MakeMaxClick(Sender: TObject);\n  VAR\n    x :INTEGER;\n    y :BYTE;\n    z :CHAR;\n    sr:abc6;\nbegin\n  Randomize;\n  ListBox1.Visible:=FALSE;\n  ListBox1.Items.BeginUpdate;\n  FOR x:=1 TO Maxarray DO BEGIN\n    sr:='';\n    FOR y:=1 to 6 DO BEGIN\n      z:=CHAR(Random(26)+65);\n      sr:=sr+z;\n    END;\n    ListBox1.Items.Add(sr);\n  END;\n  ListBox1.Items.EndUpdate;\n  ListBox1.Visible:=TRUE;\nend;

The code need 14 seconds on my computer in order to finish generating all the random words.
It then instantly show ALL data and I can start scrolling down this unsorted list.

Next step is:

procedure TForm1.Button5Click(Sender: TObject);\nbegin\n  ListBox1.Visible := false;\n  ListBox1.Items.BeginUpdate;\n  ListBox1.Sorted :=True;\n  ListBox1.Items.EndUpdate;\n  ListBox1.Visible := True;\n  ShowMessage('Finished');\nend;

It displays the message \"Finished\" after approx 11 seconds but still the listbox is not visible.
After a total of 4 minutes(after clicking ok) the listbox is displayed.

My own code for sorting:

PROCEDURE QrebuildIndex;\n  VAR\n    wTop,wMiddle,wBottom,wPosition : INTEGER;\n    bModifier    : BYTE;\n    bNeedSearches: ARRAY[1..24] OF INTEGER; // 16 comparisons will find any and all data no matter where in an index of 65536 items. Morten Brendefur 2011.\n\n  PROCEDURE BuildNeedSearches(antall:BYTE); // Builds index of numbers where we have to extend searches by one extra run.\n    VAR\n      x:BYTE;\n    BEGIN\n      FOR x:=1 TO antall DO BEGIN\n        bNeedSearches[x]:=1;\n        bNeedSearches[x]:=(bNeedSearches[x] SHL x);\n      END;\n      bModifier:=1;\n    END;\n\n  PROCEDURE FindPointOfInsert;\n    VAR                       \n      x:BYTE;\n\n    PROCEDURE Doublecheck; // Some values of top and bottom variables lead to a result that is misplaced by one in a few cases.\n      BEGIN\n        IF sAbc6[wIndex[wMiddle]] < sAbc6[wPosition] THEN INC(wMiddle); // By doublechecking we exterminate this cause of error.\n      END;\n\n    BEGIN\n      IF wBottom=bNeedSearches[bModifier] THEN INC(bModifier); // Denne fungerer bare dersom vi bygger hele indexen fra start.\n      FOR x:=1 TO bModifier DO BEGIN\n        wMiddle:=wTop+((wBottom-wTop) DIV 2);\n        IF sAbc6[wIndex[wMiddle]] > sAbc6[wPosition] // Working towards an index all the time.\n        THEN wBottom:=wMiddle\n        ELSE wTop   :=wMiddle;\n      END;\n        // With 17 comparisons we can find any place in an index of 65536 values.\n        // This compared with common sequential search of which may need up to 65536 comparisons in order to be 100% accurate.\n        // This was Ultrafast on the old Commodore 64.

In a total of 2 minutes and 11 seconds I am able to make an index of 256000 records, sort everything, and show my sorted data in one listbox and also show the index I created in another listbox.
.
.
Delphi 9
spend twice as long time in order to display the sorted data in only one listbox.
I left my comments in the source. They may make the code easier to understand.

I still wonder though. Is my sorting routine faster than ListBox or is there some other explanation for why the listbox is not visible for 4 minutes when I use the built in sort function/property.

If people are interrested in my routine of sorting, then please copy and experiment.
(I could add that I am working on another method in order to speed up my sorting by at least 180 times, still only using Delphi without inline assembler
I'll release that code here at a later stage when it has been fully tested.)

Best regards,
Morten Brendefur.

Try this. I have not tested the speed. Just as an option.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);\nvar List: TStringList;\nbegin\n  List:=TStringList.Create;\n    try\n      List.Assign(ListBox1.Items);\n      List.CustomSort(TStringsSort);\n      ListBox1.Items.Assign(List);\n    finally\n      List.Free;\n    end;\nend;\nfunction TStringsSort(List: TStringList; Index1, Index2: Integer): Integer;\nbegin\n  Result:=-CompareStr(List[Index1],List[Index2]);\nend

I have got a assignment. I have a folder which have some text file. In the text file there have some students info such as fathers name, mothers name, contact number etc. And every text file name is like 'AddressBook_038'. here 038 is the roll number. It is different for every students.
My assignment is there have a textfile and a browse button. There also have a datagrid view. Datagridview column is roll, fathers name, mothers name, contact number. I have to create such program that when I click browse button and select the folder the data automatically show in datagrid view. Such as in the roll column only show the roll. Program automatically read the text file name and input the data after (_) in the roll column. Then it read the info from the text file and show data after ( : ) in the others column.
I don't understand how I can do this? I do something which I give it bellow:

OpenFD.InitialDirectory = \"C:\\\"\n        OpenFD.Title = \"Open your Floder\"\n        Dim didwork As Integer = OpenFD.ShowDialog()\n

Paypal to pay on account?

\"Member
RichmondJim 0 Newbie Poster

I'd like to create a simple PHP form that will allow my website user to make a payment on their account with us using PayPal. I'd like them to enter their name, email address, account number, and the amount they'd like to pay. I would then like to pass this information to PayPal (possibly as a \"buy it now\" using the account number as the item number) and let PayPal handle all the PP account and/or credit card information. I would then check my PayPal business account daily for the payments I need to record in my accounting package.

I don't expect to get many payments this way, but want to offer the convenience to my clients.

Has anyone seen or posted a code snippet that would point me in the right direction? Anyone want to help with the coding?

Thanks!
Jim

If you would want to use IPN you will need to set up a script that paypal will call once payment has been processed or failed. This is useful if you don't want to have to check everyday for the payment.

But for you application, if you don't need it to be automated a simple buy button could work.

Here is a pauy button with some inputs not hidden...

<form action=\"https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr\" method=\"post\">\n\n    <label>First Name: </label><input type=\"text\" name=\"first_name\" value=\"\" /><br />\n    <label>Last Name: </label><input type=\"text\" name=\"last_name\" value=\"\" /><br />\n    <label>Email: </label><input type=\"text\" name=\"payer_email\" value=\"\" /><br />\n\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"cmd\" value=\"_xclick\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"business\" value=\"email@youraddress.com\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"lc\" value=\"US\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"item_name\" value=\"youritemname\">\n<label>Account Number: </label><input type=\"text\" name=\"item_number\" value=\"\"><br />\n<label>Dollar Amount: </label>$<input type=\"text\" name=\"amount\" value=\"\"><br />\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"currency_code\" value=\"USD\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"button_subtype\" value=\"services\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"bn\" value=\"PP-BuyNowBF:btn_paynowCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest\">\n<input type=\"image\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif\" border=\"0\" name=\"submit\" alt=\"PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!\">\n<img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\">\n</form>

Hopefully this is somewhat what you want.

CJay, now that I feel like a total ID-10-T, thanks! I never considered UNhiding the fields and using INPUT as you did in your example. I'm a PHP newbie and amazed at how powerful it can be.

I did notice that with this transaction type, users are required to have a PayPal account. Is there an option to permit them to enter credit card info without creating a PP account or is this just one of the restrictions of PayPal \"Standard\" (as opposed to \"Pro\")? (I apologize... this is a case of RTFM; I should download and read the PayPal manual, but you're obviously well versed in it.)

Thanks again,
Jim

Never mind, CJay. I found the credit card answer wen I plugged in my REAL verified PP business account instead of test \"dummy\" info.

It works great. The hours I spent searching the web for an answer to be so quickly and accurately answered here with a post!

Hi Everyone,

Some of the styles on my html page is coming only in chrome browser(not in firefox or IE) which I do no want. Using chrome browser developer tools when I tried to inspect them, I found a very strange thing, it is not showing the css source file name for the style.

Please find the developer tool pic below:

\"1c8b90f114e1dc08ebf65028ceb2a181\"

In the pic you can see that for class .app-background there is no source file showing up in developer tool.

Has anyone come across such situation? Any help or suggestions to remove these styles appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Regards,
VenusCrystal

At a guess, I'd bet that you accidentally used a class name that is also used by Developer Tools or some other add-on/plug-in.

Change the class name and I bet it fixes the problem.

The $_SERVER superglobals provide a load of useful information.

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];     // The IP address from which the user is viewing the current page.\n$time = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];  // The timestamp of the start of the request.     \n$port = $_SERVER['REMOTE_PORT'];   // The port being used on the user's machine to communicate with the web server.   \n$browser = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']; // Contents of the User-Agent (Web browser): header from the current request\n\n// etc...

Hi

Use this to see what information can be accessed and then decide what you want to use and access it like any other array

foreach ($_SERVER as $key => $item)\n {\n  echo \"<li><b>$key:</b> $item<br/></li>\";\n }

Thank you all. It done my work. But I have a last question. What would be better format to store user's login time? Like 1296143233 or Thursday 27 January 2011 3:47pm? Thank you. And how to convert 1296143233 to Thursday 27 January 2011 3:47pm. I think first format will save the disk space. Please help.

\"Member
nonshatter 26 Posting Whiz

I generally tend to use a Unix timestamp, but I'm not really sure what the 'best' format is. This link explains mysql date formats

You can convert a unix timestamp to a human-readable format using the date() function. You can format the date format to your liking:

$timestamp = 1296143233;\n$formattedtime = date(\"d/m/y\", $timestamp)

Or to turn a date back into a timestamp, use strtotime():

$date = \"01/01/1970\";\n$date2timestamp = strtotime($date);

Hi Everyone,
I would need your help. I have a project that I need to insert multiple records into my table. Here is more detail.
I design a purchase order table with 3 columns (a, b, c):
a: is primary key with identity (1,1) primary key
b: is defined integer (allow duplicate)
c: is varchar(5)

I want to have multiple records with same value of a.
For ex: when I create purchase order # 1. I have multiple records inside the PO# 1. Also with PO# 2, I have multiple records....also so on.

How can I write a stored procedure for this needed?

advice would be you don't want multiple records with the same value of a

for one your database is set to not allow it
for two, you need to uniquely identify this record

might want to rethink the schema

something with a purchaseorder
and purchaseorderdetails

purchaseorder
PURCHASE_ORDER_ID
PO_DATE
CLIENT_ID

purchaseorderdetails
PURCHASE_ORDER_DETAILS_ID
PURCHASE_ORDER_ID
ITEM_ID
ITEM_AMOUNT

this will allow you to have multiple records for a single purchase order

you normally wouldn't pass arrays to the stored procedure

for each insert you should make the call to insert purchaseorderdetails, ie 5 items 5 insert calls

passing arrays to a stored procedure i wouldn't consider good practice, the workaround is normally to pass a comma delimited string, but once again i would recommend making the database calls to insert from code side and not rely on it from database side

I have coded sp_AddPurchaseOrder with multiple insert (ex: 3 times insert). Somecases, I want to insert only 1 or 2 records and ignore the third insert. But my web application send me a message that Can not insert the records. Could you please share your idea? Your help is appriciated.

Below is my stored procedure:

Although you aren't passing arrays, you should return the id of the purchase order to your code.

Then call a stored procedure for sp_AddPurchaseOrderDetails for each item you have, 1 item 1 call, 3 items 3 calls

sure, you had a good start on the first one
we'll do the purchaseorder

create procedure sp_AddPurchaseOrder\n(\n   @POInputDate smalldatetime,\n   @PurchaseOrderId int OUTPUT\n)\nas\n\ninsert into PurchaseOrder (PO_DATE) values (@POInputDate)\n\nselect @PurchaseOrderId = @@IDENTITY

then you will use the same concept for creating purchaseorderdetails, except you will pass in the purchaseorderid as a parameter

(btw i just used the date column, and not client_id like we talked about before)

the problem is that when you execute the first query, it is returning your purchaseorderid, which links the purchaseorderdetails to it

you need to pass this in as a parameter from code side

Hi dickersonka
I am using C# to code the front application. Do you have any idea for passing the @IDENTITY or you know any link for these information. I'd need to learn about this.

Here's a link

http://blogs.msdn.com/vsdata/archive/2006/08/21/711310.aspx

you can change your stored procedure, by removing the \"OUT\" parameter, and instead of
select @PurchaseOrderId = @@IDENTITY

you just use return @@IDENTITY

=====

Do you have a link that has information for Web application using c# syntax? The link you have sent was for windows application.
Also, you mean that I don't need to state

select @PurchaseOrderID = @@IDENTITY
I can replace with
return @@IDENTITY

is that you mean?

\"Member

sorry, this way does use the way we had first with

Hi ,
Per coding, I almost get it, accept this piece:

newId = (int)cmdl.Parameters[\"@NewUserId\"].Value;

based on my Visual studio 2005 (C#). It does not recognise
(int)cmdl.Parameters[\"@NewUserId\"].Value;

do you have any idea?

\"Member
dickersonka 104 Veteran Poster

NewUserId will be PurchaseOrderId

make sure you have this in the stored procedure as well, like we said before

@PurchaseOrderId int OUTPUT

also make sure if you modified the code it is cmd not cmdl, unless you changed the name

need help to write simple program for interest rates

\"Member
deepfixa 0 Newbie Poster

Im new to programming and i cant seem to be able to figure this question out:

Write a c++ program that uses two functions, called simple_interest(float amount, int duration) and compound_interest(float amount, int duration), to compute interest on an investment. The program should take the name of client and initial investment of a the client and store them in two arrays, then asks user to enter the duration and interest rate.
The program then calls the appropriate function to compute either simple or compound interest. The program then adds the interest to the initial amount to obtain the current value of the investment.
The program then outputs the name, principle amount, duration, interest rate, interest and total amount for simple and compound interest options.

ive been working on this for two weeks, any help anyone?

SQL Case Statement

\"Member
kahaj 0 Junior Poster

I only have experience using pretty basic Oracle. However, I'm now in need of a better understanding of SQL. I'm trying to write a query using CASE statements (as this seems to be the best approach), but am admittedly lost at the moment.

Here is what I have as a basis:

SELECT LEFT(ITEM_A, 4) AS \"PREFIX\",\n    SUBSTRING(RIGHT(ITEM_A, 12), 5, 2) AS \"SUFFIX\",\n    RIGHT(ITEM_A, 16) AS \"INGREDIENT\"\nFROM THE_TABLE \nWHERE ITEM_B = 'VAL1'\n    AND ITEM_C = 'VAL2' \nGROUP BY ITEM_A\nORDER BY PREFIX ASC, SUFFIX ASC\n

This is yielding a good result set for evaluation. Now, I need to determine which (if any) 'INGREDIENT' values are associated to multiple 'PREFIX' & 'SUFFIX' combos and what those combos are if present. I'm really hitting a brick wall here.

Hello,

I happen to be a big fan of SQL's capability to do a auery within a query (somtimes called sub-queries). This give you the ability to generate a sub set of data and then query it, Kind of like generating a temp table but for small sets of data. I have spaced it out a bit so you can see your original query geneerating the data1 set of data and the pulling and ordering the data from there. I hope this helps with what you want to do. Try something like this for your query:

select data1.PREFIX, \ndata1.SUFFIX, \ndata1.INGREDIANT\nfrom \n(\nSELECT LEFT(ITEM_A, 4) AS \"PREFIX\",\nSUBSTRING(RIGHT(ITEM_A, 12), 5, 2) AS \"SUFFIX\",\nRIGHT(ITEM_A, 16) AS \"INGREDIENT\"\nFROM THE_TABLE\nWHERE ITEM_B = 'VAL1'\nAND ITEM_C = 'VAL2' \n) data1\nOrder by data1.PREFIX,\n data1.SUFFIX\n

HI

Could you provide the table structure with data and output that you are expecting from the Query.

Inheriting data from multiple classes?

\"Member
gangsta gama 0 Junior Poster in Training

Hey guys! I have a quick question that I think is a simple mess up. I am trying to make a console word game in c#, and I have different classes, and a main class that calls those classes. I first have the Player class, and the CreateCharacter class. My player class houses all of the variables that pertain to the player of the class (level, stats etc.), and my CreateCharacter class is what calls on the startup of the game, which asks the name, race, class they want the character to be. So far that is well and good, but when I call the classes I know no other way than to say: Player player = new Player(); and I believe that takes the data I got from CreateCharacter, and erases it. So my actual engine calls CreateCharacter, gets all the information, then when I call all of the variables in the engine, they come back erased. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

In terms of architecture, a common solution is to have a master Game class that holds references to all the instances of all the components that make up the current state of the game, eg a list of Players etc. The Game class instance is shared by passing it to every other class's constructors. Thus every class has a reference to the Game, and can call its methods to get whetever info they need, eg getPlayers(), getCurrentTurnPlayer() etc

Could you sendin some code or some drawing of your classes structure. It would make it much clearer. O, and inheriting from multiple classes is not possible in C#.

I have put together a small sample that explains my problem and what I am trying to do.

In terms of architecture, a common solution is to have a master Game class that holds references to all the instances of all the components that make up the current state of the game, eg a list of Players etc. The Game class instance is shared by passing it to every other class's constructors. Thus every class has a reference to the Game, and can call its methods to get whetever info they need, eg getPlayers(), getCurrentTurnPlayer() etc

That makes sense, but when I call a new instance of my class in my engine, I do not know how to pass it on and have the other classes call the instance in the engine :(

I have been working on this on and off in c# console and c# windows application and this seems to be my only brick wall in actually learning more and creating things in this language.

Here is my sample problem, I have the main Engine, I have TestPlayer which holds the variables, then I have CreateCharacter. The Engine calls CreateCharacter, which gets all of the information from the user, then displays the info. Then it goes back to the main constructor of the engine, and it tries to display the info again, and it is blank.

Engine:

using System;\nusing System.Collections.Generic;\nusing System.Linq;\nusing System.Text;\nusing System.Threading.Tasks;\n\nnamespace Test\n{\n    public class Engine\n    {\n        public static void Main(string[] args)\n        {\n            CreateCharacter cc = new CreateCharacter();\n            TestPlayer player = new TestPlayer();\n\n            cc.createCharacter();\n            Console.ReadKey();\n            Console.Clear();\n            Console.WriteLine(\"The player name is \" + player.name + \" and their gender is \" + player.gender);\n            Console.ReadKey();\n\n        }\n    }\n}\n

CreateCharacter:

using System;\nusing System.Collections.Generic;\nusing System.Linq;\nusing System.Text;\nusing System.Threading.Tasks;\n\nnamespace Test\n{\n    public class CreateCharacter\n    {\n        public void createCharacter()\n        {\n            TestPlayer player = new TestPlayer();\n\n            Console.WriteLine(\"What is your name?\");\n            player.name = Console.ReadLine();\n            Console.WriteLine(\"\\nWhat is your gender?\");\n            player.gender = Console.ReadLine();\n            Console.WriteLine(\"Hello \" + player.name + \" who is a \" + player.gender);\n        }\n    }\n\n\n}\n

TestPlayer:

using System;\nusing System.Collections.Generic;\nusing System.Linq;\nusing System.Text;\nusing System.Threading.Tasks;\n\nnamespace Test\n{\n    public class TestPlayer\n    {\n        public string name { get; set; }\n        public string gender { get; set; }\n    }\n}\n

Thanks in advance guys!!

ddanbe 2,724 Professional Procrastinator Featured Poster

public void createCharacter() is just a method in your CreateCharacter class.
You create a player object in it you fill the fields with values and when createCharacter() ends, all this will return to oblivion.
In your engine, you create an empty player and after createCharacter() you try to show the players values, which are of course empty.

JamesCherrill 4,733 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster

CreateCharacter is what we call a \"Factory\" - it makes TestPlayers.
Just constructing a CreateCharacter isn't enough - what it needs is a method that creates a TestPlayer and returns it, so the main Engine can save and share that TestPlayer.

Is this something I should persue now or should I wait for more traffic before attempting?

This is the main problem: you need to spend a LOT of time in your forums in order to make them survive at first and then grow. If you have the time to do it, then it's a good idea, but otherwise you'd just prepare yourself for a bit fiasco. I know in all webmaster articles (even mine :D) you're told to create a community to have returning visitors. But you need to really know if you are willing to put all the time and work it needs ..

Interactive input in pyplot

\"Member
hughesadam_87 54 Junior Poster

Hello all,

Following the guide on sourceforge, I've created several pyplot programs which have nice event handling. I'm able to press keys on my keyboard and the plots advance and change. The backend for this program is GTKagg. There are several instances where I can change parameters in the plot interactively. For example, if I press r, the data will begin at 0. I am able to successfully interact through the terminal; that is, I press a button and the terminal prompts me for a value before it begins running the next iteration of the code. What I can't find is if it's possible to add a small box on the pyplot figure itself which will allow me to easily put in these parameters, instead of going through the terminal.

For example, a box stays open and if I enter a number, it plots a new graph. This is easily done through the terminal, but I'm confused on how to incorporate the GUI right into the pyplot program. Is there support for this already?

You ask general answer so do not expect answer in depth. Either way as Ezzaral already posted there is FAQ, plus if you bothered to click on any of the links in the documentation you would discover more in detail info and tutorials like this - Elliotte Rusty Harold's book Processing XML with Java (Addison-Wesley, 2002), Chapter 14: JDOM and Chapter 15: The JDOM Model which is some odd 70 pages of explanation and code example on usage of this library. Nevertheless I'm inclined to believe you have no clue how to add resources to netbeans so I will let you have look on one of my tutorials

header files

\"Member
ExMachina 0 Newbie Poster

Hello all,

So to start off I'm just starting to learn programming so please excuse a lot of my noob mistakes especially when trying to explain what is going on/wrong.

I've been trying to use a header file in an example program I'm trying to complete but the compiler doesn't recognize the file...in fact it says that no such file or directory exists. I'm using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition if that makes a difference on how to set anything up.

So I was wondering if anyone could walk me through the process of setting up a header file. Or a link to the same effect so I know that I'm starting the process correctly. Thanks!

Well, if you've created a new C++ project/solution, there should be a Solution Explorer visible somewhere on the screen. I believe there's a 'File View' which can be toggled. When that is selected you should see a Tree View Control that lists the various file types you can include in a project. Naturally, C++ projects need a *.cpp file. These will be listed under the 'Source' files node. Under the 'Header' files node are the header fies in your project if there are any. If there aren't then Right Clicking on that node will pop up a context menu where you can either navigate to where some *.h file exists that you want to include in your project, or give you the option of adding a new blank file into which you can type header file type info.

Is this making any sense? Have you gotten that far?

If you have something like this...

#include <iostream.h>
#include \"MyHeader.h\"

...and the compiler error says it can't find \"MyHeader.h\", then that means the compiler can't find \"MyHeader.h\". In other words, if its not in the directory its looking, you'll have to add a explicit path to the file, or put it in with the other source files for the project where the compiler wil find it.

Hi, ExMachina.

You have to write this:

#include<header_name.h>

(ANGLE BRACKET: This form instructs the preprocessor to search for include files first along the path specified by the /I compiler option, then, when compiling from the command line, along the path specified by the INCLUDE environment variable.)

or

#include\"header_name.h\"

(DOUBLE QUOTATION MARKS: This form instructs the preprocessor to search in the same directory of the source files.)

Keep in mind that in new C++ standard, the header files of the standard library haven't the .h extension. So, you have to write <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>.

---------------------------------------------------------------
In Visual C++ you have to create a project file to compile the sources (even if the source code consist of a single file).

Frederic2,

Thank you for the input thus far. In the explorer window I have the header file under the \"Headers\" node and the .cpp source code under the \"Source\" node and I have the code starting with

#include <iostream>
#include \"GradeBook.h\"

but when I try to build the solution it still comes up with fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GradeBook.h' : No such file or directory.

And after reading what you posted I moved the .h file into the same directory as the 'GradeBook' program but that didn't help.

Bezelis,

Also just wanted to thank you for your input as well, although I'm kinda lost with what you're talking about. Granted I haven't tried to compile anything from the command line yet....although I need to practice that at some point soon! I'm a little confused with what you said concerning the DOUBLE QUOTATION MARKS and about the standard library not having the .h extension and having to write <iostream> instead of <iostream.h>. If you could explain that a little more indepth I would appreciate it.

Indeed I have. And when its just a .cpp project (minus all my syntax errors) they have all compiled and ran just like they were supposed to. but when I went to create the header file I went File-New-File... instead of File-New-Project (figuring that is how you create a header file).

\"Member
Frederick2 189 Posting Whiz

Well, that's good! Then we know your setup is working.

Did you try specifying the exact path in the #include line, such as...

#include \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\VStudio\\MyRecalcitrantHeader.h\"

I mean, you shouldn't have to do that, but I'm just trying to figure out what's wrong, i.e., why it won't read a file you claim is there?

GradeBook... Is it \"C++ How to program (Deitel & Deitel)\", isn't it?

First of all, I'm sorry for my bad language (I'm not English).

I had understood you had some problem with the inclusion of an header file.

Visual Studio allow you to compile only the source code of a project, because in most cases the code is complex and it is subdivided into more files. The other compilers, such as Borland C++ and GCC, can immediately compile a single file. Then, in VC++ you have to click on \"File --> New --> Project --> Visual C++ --> General --> Empty Project\" and create a solution. After this, you have to click with the right button of the mouse in \"Source File --> Add\" to load the C++ files. And in \"Header File --> Add\" to load YOUR header files, NOT the STANDARD HEADER FILE (iostream, cstdlib, etc.).

However, in C++ there are some conventions to include an header file. The name of the header file between angle brackets < > tell to the compiler to search it in the standard directories, defined by the compiler itself (the standard header files, such as \"iostream\", are contained in one of this directories). The name of the header file contained in the double quotation marks \" \" tell to the compiler to search in the directories wherein there is the source code.

What are \"Standard Header Files\"? They are the header files of the Standard Library. The C++ Language doesn't define functions (i.e. math functions, i/o functions, etc.), so the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and the ISO nominated programmers to write some common and useful functions for C++. These functions were included into the standard library. For example, \"iostream\" contains Input/Output functions. The Standard Library (derived from C language), is attached to compilers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_standard_library

In the old C++ revision, the name of standard header files had an extension .h. In the new revisions, this extension was removed. So, there are some compiler that accept only iostream.h and other (modern compiler) that accept only iostream.

Take a look at MSDN for compiler errors:

Frederick2,

So when I copy and pasted the entire path ie. \"C:\\Documents and Settings...myHeaderFile.h\" the program compiled with ZERO problems!!! I am quite curious now because I didn't think that I had to put all of that in the #include \" *.h\". Any suggestions?

Bezelis,

Thank you for the in depth explanation!! That helped me understand a lot more of the logic of programming in C++ and yes you are right in that \"GradeBook\" is a Dietel project. Oh and thank you for the links!!! If you have any suggestions as to why I would have to indicate the entire path for my header file to work I would welcome the input (because right now i have to put #include \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Visual Studio 2008\\Projects\\myHeaderFile.h\" for the program to compile.)

\"Member
Frederick2 189 Posting Whiz

No, I don't know why you would have to do that, ExMachina. But it was a good idea wasn't it!

Any chance you installed Visual Studio under one log in and are developing under another? Possible rights problems? Just grasping at straws here!

If you copied that file from a CD is it marked as read only??? That ones bit me a few times. As the other knowlegeable fellow said, the development environment has several places it looks for things before crapping out with an error.

I actually just bought VC9 myself recently. All these modern compilers seem to be creating ever more complicated directory setups for a project's files, that's for sure. About my favorite is Dev-cpp. With that I can get a project up and running in about 30 seconds. I can't say that for any of the others, i.e., CodeBlocks, VC6, VC9, etc.

\"Member
Bezelis 2 Newbie Poster

You're welcome! :)

Yes, you can enter the entire path of your header file, but you're not obligated to do that. If you put the header file and the source file in the same directory, you can enter only the name of the header file. Here an example (Please, follow my instructions).

1. Create a directory in the desktop, called \"Pythagoras\".

2. Open a text editor (NoteBook or other) and create two files into it, rispectively MySource.cpp and MyHeader.h. Remember to save the correct extension with the text editor (not TXT extension).

MyHeader.h

#include<cmath>\n\nfloat ExMachina(float x, float y);\n\nfloat ExMachina(float x, float y)\n{\n   float hyp = sqrt(x*x + y*y);\n   return hyp;\n}

In the previous code, we are defined the function ExMachina(). <cmath> containing the function sqrt(). ExMachina() take in input two arguments and solve the Pythagorean Theorem.

MySource.cpp

#include<cstdlib>\n#include<iostream>\n#include\"MyHeader.h\"\nusing namespace std;\n\nint main()\n{\n    float cath1, cath2;\n\tfloat hypotenuse;\n\n\tcout << \"Insert a number (cathetus 1): \";\n\tcin >> cath1;\n\tcout << \"Insert a number (cathetus 2): \";\n\tcin >> cath2;\n\n\thypotenuse = ExMachina(cath1, cath2);\n\n\tcout << endl << \"The hypotenuse is: \" << hypotenuse << endl << endl;\n\n\tsystem(\"pause\");\n\treturn 0;\n}

3. Open Visual C++ and click on \"File --> New --> Project --> General --> Empty Project\". Insert a project name and click OK.

4. Drag your file MySource.cpp in the \"Source Files\" (in VC++) and MyHeader.h in the \"Header Files\".

5. Click on the entry \"Build\".

Here, the project file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VVI0TN9W

Another thing. People usually begins to learn computer science starting from an example program like this: Please, write a program to display the string \"hello world, ciao mondo, bonjour le monde\" and sum 5 + 3.

In my honest opinion, it is better to think about the problem to solve before attempting to transform it into a program. Here's how it should be the steps:

1. Problem (informal)
Example: I have to go from Rome to London

2. Problem (formal)
I write all the possible routes to go from Rome to London and I study them. (Graph Theory)

3. Algorithm (mathematics / physics)
I elaborate an algorithm (What is it the fastest route? Or, what is it the shortest route?)....

Curiosity (Dijkstra's Algorithm)

4. Program (computer languages)

People usually follows this steps in reverse.

Frederick2,

Yeah that was a good idea!!! And to answer your other questions I'm logged in under the same profile as I loaded the program and it isn't write protected (at least as far as I know...I will have to do some more digging just to be sure) but thank you for all your input!

Bezelis,

Seriously thank you for all the help...especially with your last post on how to approach writing a program. That's going to take some work to change the mindset but it will really help. Thanks! And as soon as I get the chance I will try that program and let you know how it turns out!!!

You know, sometimes, when things don't work for seemingly no reason at all, it pays to just start over, reboot, whatever. In your case ExMachina, have you considered just deleting the project (saving the source, of course) and starting over? There's almost certainly a bad reference involved somewhere that is messing things up - perhaps something you did in setting up the project. Before doing that perhaps you could try the less drastic solution of just highlighting the misbehaving include file in the solution explorer, and hitting the delete key. A popup will ask if you want to delete the file or simply remove it from the project. Just tell it to remove it. Then shut down VS and restart. Open up the project and re-include the file. Right click on the 'Headers' folder and select 'Add Existing Item', then try again. It might work.

Dell Inspiron 8200 dead

\"Member

My five year old Inspiron 8200 has finally died. For about a week it said it was running on batteries, even though it was plugged in. If you unplugged it, it would instantly shut down. Or if you took out the battery while it was plugged in, it would do the same. Now it does absolutely nothing when I push the power button. I've tried the usual fixes, taking out the battery, unplugging it for awhile, holding down the power button for a minute, etc.

Does this sound like a motherboard failure?

What's wrong with taking out the battery when the machine is on AC power? I've never seen a warning about that.

After five years the warranty is long since expired.

I managed to get the machine running again for a little while. The problem seems to be the circuit board that plugs into the top of the motherboard. It must have a crack in it or something. Do motherboards usually come with all the extra circuit boards attached? I've looked on eBay but can't tell from the descriptions.

Multi Boot disc question

I have bee assigned the project to create a multi boot disc for our pc's at work. We currently use symantec ghost v7.5.

I am a tech that only know's what he is taught. And all i know is we are given a CD that boots up the PC's that has the necessary drivers for the given PC's. I have never had to create a 'MultiBoot' disc to ghost PC's.

However I just wanted to know, exactly.. what defines a 'MultiBoot' disc?

And also, if anyone can give some recomendation as to what other software that i could try that maybe better.

We here at work normally have a difficulty time ghosting PC's that use Xircomm Network PCMCIA cards. Any suggestions on that would be great also.

There is a misuse of terms here.
Multiboot means multiple operating systems.

If you are ghosting you are doing a preinstall / reinstall

pcmcia ... I assume you are working on laptops...

You did not mention which OS you are running...

If this is XP it could be a problem...A real problem...

What make and model of laptop...

or do you have a variety of laptops...

What file system are they using or do they want?

I have had success ghosting XP from a Dell laptop to the same make and model Dell laptop...

I had good success with a generic ghost image of 98 , a copy of win98 folder from the cd, folders for any video drivers, modem drivers, sound cards etc... and getting very fast installs. I assume this would work with ME and 2000. But I personally never tried it...

It was also helpful to run a diagnostic after the ghost but prior to the driver installs to identify the actual hardware so I knew which drivers it was going to need. Everest is a good one... Free for home use fee for business use...

So give us a little more information and we will see what can be done to help get you going...


Oh, and the Xircom cards...
Pull them prior to the install... do install everything else,
Install the drivers for the Xircom then reinstall the Xircom Card and that problem should be gone..

\"Member
ArtChess 0 Junior Poster in Training

sorry for the late reply. Yeah the PC's we need to ghost (make copy of NOT create Image for) vary. From IBM T23, T30, T41, T42, Dell 280, Dell 270 desktop, Dell Latitude Cpx's and Cpi's, IBM Netvista's.

In any event I will need to actually create a mutli-boot disc or CD that will have the Network Driver's for those PC's so the when I boot from the CD/disc i can ghost the machine. And this disc will be all in one for those such machine(s).

I am going through the steps in this site: http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/modboot/#makedisk

and it reads:: Format a bootable MS-Dos floppy diskette (version 6.x or higher required)
format a: /u /s

however I am doing this from windows XP, and when i try it it reads
invalid parameter - /s

what does the /s switch do and how can i get around this from XP pc.

\"Member
alc6379 120 Cookie... That's it Team Colleague

The /s switch is unavailable in Windows XP. In DOS, it stood for \"system\", basically it added DOS bootfiles onto the disk, making it a bootable floppy.

If I recall correctly, I ran this bootdisc once. The trick to getting any setup like this going is to have each needed driver available, and then select the one you want to run at boot. Is there any chance of using a bootable CD, rather than a floppy?

My guess is that \"multiboot\" just means it's driver-compatible with several different systems.

I would like to se a directory listing of the existing single system disks that they give you now. It might be easier for us to fix the flat instead of reinventing the wheel.

So, you need to make a single - boot CD with drivers for multiple systems

Nero 6 and most CD burning software will let you create a bootable CD

You would then put all the network drivers on the one CD...

That site you refer to specifically says Windows 95 98, 98se and not me...
It does not mention XP at all...

So, you are trying to use a single cd to boot the network drivers and create a ghost BACKUP of you existing system.

You are NOT trying to Ghost a single XP image onto several machines..

An additional point to consider...
Are any of these computer running SATA drives or RAID configurations?
Dont forget the drivers for those...

You might take a look at ghost 4 linux...

It is a bootable cd with generic network drivers that will autodetect most network cards.

It might be just what you need..

It has worked on every machine I have needed...
However, if your server or archive is NTFS... Don't Do This...
It can read NTFS but I would avoid writing to NTFS with linux...

\"Member
ArtChess 0 Junior Poster in Training

thanks Inspector..
Uhm,.. I have now just rec'd a CD that is a All In ONe CD, that is pretty much able to detect most network Card and then i am able to ghost PC's to a mapped drive. However in particular we Have a Dell 280. And all i want to do is burn/copy this CD and also add some *.inf files for the network card of the 280 using
roxio Easy CD & DVD Creator Home 6.0.0.171.

I am using a laptop with one CD drive. I insert the source CD and copy it and also add the *.inf file to the desired directory of that and attempt to burn it on a blank, CD.

however after disc caching for over an hour Roxio tells me I need 4 CD's?? and the file/image is way over 700MB it's like 2000MB??? the file i added is barely 200KB??

So to make the long story short, how do i copy/burn a bootable CD and at the same time add files to it.

I went to Roxio site and they are asking to call a toll free number and to have a CC ready b/c they will charge 35 bucks?? Nice support eh?!

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

Hi!

Since Python 2.4 (I guess it's 2.4), sort has the option key:

>>> import string\n>>> l = [\"a\",\"B\",\"c\",\"D\"]\n>>> l.sort(key=string.lower)\n>>> l\n['a', 'B', 'c', 'D']

Here's a way for < 2.4:

>>> l.sort(lambda x, y: cmp(string.lower(x), string.lower(y)))

No, because you're not always going to have someone to take you through a project step by step before you have to do it. You likely have a textbook and certainly have the internet if you don't know how to do something.

No one is going to give you code without you showing some effort first. If it's object oriented, start by creating an Account class and I'm sure you can get a general skeleton going for your menu system in main.

I would be very grateful of any insight/resolution of the following issue I need to overcome.

Using VS/VB2008 Pro/SQLExpress - all running on XP, I am building a WinForm Application (a Quotation application for Landscape Designers).

48 Bound controls on my form work perfectly with DataSet and Tables when Updating any user changes to controls on the form to variables that determine price/cost of work being quoted for - providing the DataSet has already got values in it; Delete also works fine. However, although the \"AddNew\" (on form's BindingNavigator) works, it takes 30 - 35 seconds to add a new row. Table contains 10 rows and 45 columns. This is unacceptable and despite most of this afternoon reading forums, searches etc, I have failed to find a solution to an issue that I cannot believe appears to be so infrequent. Clearly, it is something I am doing or not doing.

I have searched via Google, crawled over MSDN pages, read/searched some of the standard textbooks on VB 2008 and looked (again) at Beth Massi's Data-related Forms over Data video series. I have re-checked the properties for the TableAdapter/Manager on my Form. I have used the wizards to create the necessary Select etc clauses. All runs as required except when user needs to add a new row (aka \"New Quotation\")

Thank you in anticipation for any help or directions to you can provide.

Is not ususal to have those large 'wait times' for insert.

Many things can happen.

I've got this problem on a machine that has a raid 5 disk failing and a bad sector in another disk of the raid5, so, when trying to write in the disk it took more than 45 minutes for an insert, and most of the times failed just with a time overflow message.

Another possible issue is that your machine is low in memory (using more memory than the phisical) and has heavy swapping to disk. In this case you should increase your (machine) memory.

I detected this kind of problems also in a multiuser or multithreading environment when a dead-lock happens.

I know that those comments are not a solution but I hope this helps.

You don't actually want to REMOVE them from the computer you want to stop them from running at Start up. To do this the easiest way is to use a Free program like CodeStuff Starter

Now when the program opens you will see three tabs:
Start ups, Processes (which is like Task Manager but gives more info), and Services.
Begin by clicking Start Ups
Take the check mark OUT of these:
AGRSMMSG
ATIModeChange
HP Software Update
HP Component Manager
ctfmon.exe

Next move to Services Tab:
Double click on each one of these. When it opens first Stop the service at the bottom of the box. Then go to Start Up Type and change Automatic to Manual. Do that with These:
Ati HotKey Poller.
InstallDriver Table Manager (IDriverT)
IviRegMgr - InterVideo
Close the program and reboot the computer.
The ones I haven't mentioned then leave alone. A couple have to do with your printer and for some reason if you get to fooling with printer files you end up having trouble with them.

You CAN also try this with those various LANDesk entries and see if the computer runs ok and goes online ok. If it does then leave them off. If it doesn't work ok then go back into CodeStuff and turn them back on at the next boot up and reboot.

i do not have a printer so i think it will be safe to stop them aswell

Don't do anything else. There is a possibility there may be a rootkit on there, pointed out to me by Crunchie. We are conferring on this as to which step you should take next. Just \"hold tight\" for a bit while we decide the best course of action here.

You have to be ABSOLUTELY certain this has nothing to do with your internet service.
After extensive searching what I have been able to find is that it possibly is an internet service. I don't know where you are located but this service \"seems\" to be based in Europe.
Before attempting to remove this I suggest you telephone your internet provider to be absolutely CERTAIN this doesn't have anything to do with your internet provider. Many times something like this will show on a log and the name isn't recognized, people will remove it and THEN have no service.
For a simple example, say your ISP is Jones.com but you see Smith.com listed in a log. But in checking with Jones.com you will find out they are owned by Smith.com so if you remove it then you would have no service. So call your provider tell them you see this Tcpip listing on the computer for DE.BAYER.cnb ask them if they feel it is safe to remove. Let me know what they say.

IF you are ABSOLUTELY certain then run HJT again and put check marks in those O17 entries and click the Fix Checked button. Exit HJT.
REBOOT and run another HJT scan and hopefully post it back here...FULL Log remember.

Long login times

\"Member
Justin01 1 Junior Poster in Training

I ran into a very peculiar, very frustrating problem, maybe one of you guys can figure this one out.

We're starting to dabble with wireless here in our office so the staff could easily gain access to the domain via their laptops. Our engineer, who is definitely not an IT guy, purchased a Linksys Wireless access point and plugged it into one of the ports on our 24 port switch. The thing works fine when I log into the domain on someones laptop under the Administrator account. The problem arises when attempting to login as a regular user. To put it simply, it takes absolutely forever.

Is this a profiles issue? Going through peoples profiles, I noticed there are some rather large ones on the network, some upwards of 200 meg.

When logging in normally on a segment thats hardwired the login time is a little slow, but nowhere near what it is when trying it over wireless. I also run into the same problem on a desktop with a wireless pci adapter installed on it.

Suggestions?

You're probably right about the profiles. Turn off Roaming Profiles for users that don't require it and recreate or clear up profiles for those who do.

\"Member
Justin01 1 Junior Poster in Training

Problem is, most users need roaming profiles enabled. I set up file redirection in an attempt to kill some of the login times but that has me a little confused in and of itself. With file redirection, you basically just point peoples My Documents folders to elsewhere on the server. You set this up as a group policy and Windows takes care of creating and moving peoples files and what not. So far since I enabled file redirection only a handful of users were, I don't know how to explain it, created under that new directory that file redirection points to. So I don't know if its a really long process for Windows to go through or what, but we'll see how it goes.

I'm newbie for using VB. I'm trying to develop code for calculate dimension of part.
The concepts are :
1. Get input from user via textbox(Form1)
2. Module 1 take value from Form1.textbox and keep for reference.
3. Module 2 use value from module 1 to calculate
4. Module 3 use value from module 2 to display via Form2,Form3,Form4 respectively.

I'm not sure this is the suitable program by using module method.
I have no idea to develop modular code refer this concept.
Anybody can give me a guidance.

Thanks in advance.

What you are talking about is the creation and use of class modules or better yet, \"Objects\"... ie OOD... and while you could do these things with this design methodology, it is a bit of overkill... but with that said, I would also think that to learn this programming methodology, this simple project you are talking about would be a good starting point...

As far as I am aware all you need is a router that has DHCP (automatic IP addressing) and your Airport Extreme should pick up an IP address and then you Apple Mac should detect the Airport Extreme and let you connect to it and set it up.

I assume you have installed the latest Airport Extreme software?

I just reformatted my computer, and I have installed all of my games and stuff back on. I updated Windows Media Player and tried playing a video on it and it comes up looking grainy and WAY too bright. I figured it might be a codec so i went and tried to download some codecs, but that didn't work. I also tried a different media player (divx) that didn't work either. The picture still came up all wierd. And it's not just the video files i have either. I tried streaming a music video and that came up the same way. Everything is really really bright, and most colors don't show up as even the right color, and every single shade in the video is off. I also updated my video driver, so it's not that either. If anyone knows how to fix this please help!!

Right Click your desktop, select settings, make sure you have 32bit color, then go advanced, on the trouble shoot tab, ensure that hardware acceleration is Full, on the monitor tab, make sure your refresh rate is ok, by starting of at 60Hz, then going up, until you hit the problem, (if 60Hz works fine).

Also, depending on you video card, make sure AntiAlaising is off, and vert sync is off. I always choose the midddle setting, which is application preference for most things.

May not help, but its an idea.

The Resurrection of Dr. Python

\"Member
mattyd 89 Posting Maven Featured Poster

About one month ago or so my Dr. Python compiler (interpreter) died. I had closed Dr. Python to go and eat dinner then came back to re-open and continued where I had stopped and... nothing. This came at a terrible time as I was in the middle of some very important code testing. I tried everything I could think of but did not have time to fix it nor was I sure how to. I opened IDLE and plugged away. IDLE worked, yes, but what I can say about it save for that it's better than nothing I guess. :-|

Python Mod vegaseat encouraged me to fix Dr. Python-- make it work. I tried, but gave up as I could not get any response. I was confused as to these errors so I continued with IDLE.

Today though, I thought I would give it one more try; I downloaded the latest version from SourceForge, unzipped it, and tried to run it. How I got it to open and work all centered around how it opened and with what program-- I will spare the details, but I think it has something to do with some sort of file and\\or memory corruptions on my system. I opened it manually and it worked! I was so relieved. :cheesy:

The reason I am posting this is to encouarage other Python programmers to try Dr. Python if they have not yet. Dr. Python is:

  • efficient and stable
  • has a clean and simple (but not overly-simple) GUI

My production levels rise noticeably by using Dr. Python.

I have used DrPython for a while now and really like it! Comes in Windows and Linux versions. It has clean displays and a minimum of quirks (does not like foreign characters). There are lots of configuration options. The results are displayed in an output window, and you can select and copy items from there. You can also install the code completion plugin from the internet from within the DrPython. The code completion option is great help for a beginner.

I have used HapDebugger, Boa, PyScripter, IDLE, SPE and PythonWin, but always come back to DrPython. DrPython is still an active project and just a very pleasant IDE to use. Very easy on the disk space.

I also use a more general editor/IDE called ConText. That one allows me to run C code and Python code in parallel.

I have used SPE for quite a while. No, it's not the \"Society of Petroleum Engineers\", but \"Stani's Python Editor\". For some odd reason it has vanished on the net.

Now I am starting to use DrPython, that one seems to be still quite active and just released a new version. Also played with PyScripter, very promissing, but not quite there yet.

\"Member
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague

I have given the Python Programming Editor (PyED) another trial and find the latest version positively fantastic!

Also not strictly an IDE, this is a very nice editor (written in Python/wxPython) with great features (multiple windows, syntax highlighting, find/replace, line numbers, autocomplete, macros, fold/expand functions and classes, bookmarks, todo, Python Shell, run your code, hotkeys, spellcheck, fonts, color and much more). Simply extract the zip file into your Python folder. Execute the program by running 'pype.pyw'. You can run your code with 'Run current file' and it will display in a nice output window (similar to the IDLE shell)
(written for Windows, but also tested on Linux, latest version PyPE-2.8-src.zip 12/14/2006)

I heard that Eclipse is a huge system originally written for Java in Java. It is supposed to be really sluggish.

I have thoroughly tested both DrPython and PyPE for my coding needs, and personally like DrPython better. DrPython has more colors and fonts, is more intuitive than PyPE, and has a much better code assistant.

However PyPE is nice too and has a number of extras like a spell checker, trigger, and macro recorder. One interesting thing is that you send selected code to the Python shell. You can also call a command shell. Both those shells have copy and paste. With large code, the folding class and function option is real nice. As far as I can see PyPE also handles unicode better.

Maybe the two of them could get together and make one super product!

About my opinion you did not install the proper driver for the webcam of your dell laptop. Please install the proper and updated driver for the webcam of your laptop. if the problem is not fixed after the installation of the driver then there is a problem in web-cam. Then you need to go to authorized service centre for proper troubleshooting.

go to start/all programs /accessories /and command prompt.
Just type in .... Tasklist /svc ,note there is a space between tasklist and the / slash

Have you been keeping your computer up to date from Windows Update? Are you using a firewall? Are you using any file sharing software?

I highly recommend checking out a program like this one from Sysinternals called Process Explorer. The reason I recommend this is that the process that's chewing up your resources may actually handle numerous system calls from various applications so it could be hard to tell what the problem is from only looking at the generic process the system uses to perform tasks...a utility like the one above can show you more information about what svchost is trying to do that's chewing up all the resources. I wouldn't be suprised if you end up needing to stop by the Security forum to get some junk cleaned up. One easy thing to do is remove programs that you aren't using just in case some program that you don't need in the first place is causing the problem.

I ran Stinger.exe downloaded from Mcafee's website. It found a few trojans. Then I downloaded and ran Adaware which got rid of quite a bit of spywares. After that the system has been fairly stable

Hiya

This is a good site to use, but when I've done it, its best to jot down what the settings were initially, in case you need to put them back.

Also, if you're not sure about some of them, do them over a period of time, and use all your normal programs each time, just to see if there is a problem

Account migration doesn't work

Hi.

Apparently I can't migrate my account. I went on to the Dazah website, but whenever I try to do a reset password with my old account e-mail it fails, saying the e-mail is not recognized, and whenever I try to create a new account with that e-mail, it says that something went wrong. What can I do to port my account?

Edit:
I finally got to reset the password, but this happened:

Apparently it is a stand-alone account, and I needed to log in via Dazah with the new resetted password to work.

\"Member

Yeah, it is. I thought my generated account would merge with my old one, but apparently no, the old account will retain its own status as a new account, so, I just needed to log in via the old account with the reseted password. :-)

First of all, you'll need to create a boot floppy. Here's how you create one:

  1. Insert a floppy into the computer's floppy drive.
  2. Format the floppy disk by opening \"My Computer\" and right-clicking on the floppy disk image, and choosing \"Format\" from the contextual menu.
  3. In the settings section of the Format window, choose \"Create MS-DOS startup disk\".
  4. Click \"Start\".

Now that you've done that, you can boot off the floppy disk that you created. Make sure it's still in the drive, and reboot the computer.

Once you've booted with the floppy, you'll reach the command prompt. There is a Format command on the floppy, but I doubt that will work because usually, Windows XP uses the NTFS filesystem which Format doesn't support. To get around this, you'll need to use Fdisk to delete the partition:

  1. Enter FDISK and press return.
  2. In the Fdisk menu, choose \"Delete Non-DOS partition\". If there's more than 1 partition listed, choose the one that contains the C drive.
  3. Confirm your choice, and delete it.

There's probably no more partitions on your hard drive, which is hopefully what you want, as the DOS tools contained on the diskette can't recreate NTFS partitions, although the Windows XP installation disk is perfectly capabe of doing that.

Yes, yes we can. But we won't because that defeats the purpose of the exercise which is for you to learn how to do it. If you have problems with your code, feel free to ask, but don't ask someone to write all of the code for you.

well can u give tips on what formula should i use.?

\"Member
deceptikon 1,790 Code Sniper Team Colleague Featured Poster

Loop through the value and find the largest possible numeral that will fit. Then print the numeral and decrement the value. For example:

while (value > 0) {\n    if (value >= 1000) {\n        // M\n    }\n    else if (value >= 500) {\n        // D\n    }\n    else if (value >= 100) {\n        // C\n    }\n    ...\n}\n

This approach isn't well suited to a switch statement as a switch is basically a table lookup with exact values and you really care about the range. But you can voodoo something workable with a little creativity. A start might be to extract your keys based on the value, then check them:

while (value > 0) {\n    const keys[] = {1000, 500, 100, 50, 10, 5, 1};\n    int i;\n\n    for (i = 0; i < sizeof keys / sizeof *keys; i++) {\n        if (value >= keys[i]) {\n            break;\n        }\n    }\n\n    switch (keys[i])\n    {\n        case 1000:\n            // M\n            break;\n        case 500:\n            // D\n            break;\n        case 100:\n            // C\n            break;\n        ...\n    }\n}\n

Here is the 10 penny description.

A switch statement allows you to execute code based upon the value of an integer (or comparable - unsigned, long, etc is ok). Let's say that 0 == off, 1 == on, 2 == on+bright, and anything else is an error (or does nothing). Following me so far? Then look at this:

for (int setting = 0; i < 10; i++)\n{\n    switch (setting)\n    {\n        case 0: // Turn off light.\n            break;\n        case 1: // Turn on light.\n            break;\n        case 2: // Make light bright.\n            break;\n        default:\n            // Not a valid value.\n            break;\n    }\n    sleep(10);\n}\n

Assuming you had the extra code to control the lights, this would result in no light, 10 seconds later the light would turn on, and 10 seconds after that the light would be set to a bright setting. Anything else would not change the light setting (the default case). Also note the \"break;\" statements. Those keep your code from \"falling through\" to the next case, effectively breaking out of the switch block.

Yesterday I took a dive into smart pointers and wasn't sure when I should use them vs. Raw pointers. I found out they are quite useful but they do not work all the time for me.

Example of working:

char* Buffer = new char[1024];\nfread(buffer, 1, sizeof(buffer), infile);  //took out the while loop for this example.\ndelete[] Buffer; Buffer = nullptr;\n\n\n//Changed to:\nstd::unique_ptr Buffer(new char[1024]);\nfread(buffer.get(), 1, sizeof(buffer), infile);  //took out the while loop for this example.\n//I never have to do delete[] correct?\n

In the above, I had to use .get() to pass my pointer to fread and various other functions. My problem comes when I try to do:

//Raw ptr works well..\n\nchar* pFile;\nchar* pMemory = new char[SomeSize];\npFile = pMemory;\nmemcpy(pFile, Buffer, dwHeader);\n\npFile = (char*)((DWORD)pFile + jmpSize);\n\n\n//Smart ptr.. :S I'm confused..\n\nstd::shared_ptr<char[]> pMemory(new char[SomeSize]);\nstd::shared_ptr<char[]> pFile(pMemory);  //The same as pFile = pMemory? Also had to declared pFile after pMemory.\nmemcpy(pFile.get(), Buffer, dwHeader);\n\npFile.get() = (char*)((DWORD)pFile.get() + jmpSize);   //Errors :S\n

Questions:
How do I assign to my ptr? Is is supposed to be shared or unique? I know unique uses move semantics so only one can owner can have the raw ptr. So I used shared since that's what the equal sign does right?

Is there any moment in time where I should use a Smart pointer vs. a Raw pointer (Referring to a bitmap class where there is a member pointer to a struct that is deleted in the destructor).

Smart pointers are not meant to point to dynamic arrays, but to individual objects. Boost has a shared_array class to deal with arrays, but I wouldn't recommend it.

In your case, you should be allocating your dynamic arrays using an STL container, in particular, std::vector. As so:

std::vector<char> Buffer(1024);\nfread(&Buffer[0], 1, Buffer.size(), infile);\n// no need to delete anything, Buffer will go out-of-scope and clear the memory automatically.\n

As for the other example (with memcpy), you should learn to work with iterators and STL algorithms. Below is the code that is equivalent to yours:

std::vector<char> pMemory(SomeSize);\nstd::vector<char>::iterator pFile = pMemory.begin();\nstd::copy(pBuffer.begin(), pBuffer.begin() + dwHeader, pFile);\npFile += jmpSize;\n

Think of iterators like they were pointers (but not necessarily actual pointers).

Visual Basic 6 Data Reports related

\"Member
The X-Man 0 Newbie Poster

Hey Everyone,

I'am Using vb6 data enviourment and Access 2010 to show an Invoice in a Data Report.

I Have many orders and many different items in orders. So I select an order from a MSHFlexgrid and will load the report. All The different items (in different orders) are stored in one table and I have created a code which works fine which will remove the items not in the order into an extra table and therefore before loading the report, the table will contain only the data of the wanted items. I have used Breakpointers and have seen that this works fine and that at the end of day the tables are in the correct wanted manner.

But then I do this without using Breakpointers, I don't know how or why always when I run and load the report an extra unwanted Item is displayed in the report. I have noticed that this item is always the final record of the Items Table. And when I load the last order, an item from the one before the last order appears in the report. I am really really confused as to why this happens..could someone help me out?

Also when I close the report and select a different order to be opened the previous data is still in the report and that gets shown..do i need to refresh or do something like that?.

Thanks in Advance,
The X-Man

When I attempt to add a new category, it says that the new category already exists, regardless of what I put in it. Is this a common problem that is easy to fix? I apologize if the question has been asked a million times, but it is very frustrating. Thanks!

I actually just found the answer (here it is in case anyone else has the problem and my not know).

Open admin/modules/stories.php and find:
Code:
$check = $db->sql_query(\"select catid from \".$prefix.\"_stories_cat where title='$title'\");
$catid = intval($catid);

change to:
Code:
$result = $db->sql_query(\"select catid from \".$prefix.\"_stories_cat where title='$title'\");
$catid = intval($catid);
$check = $db->sql_numrows($result);

also find:
Code:
$check = $db->sql_query(\"select catid from \".$prefix.\"_stories_cat where title='$title'\");

change to:
Code:
$result = $db->sql_query(\"select catid from \".$prefix.\"_stories_cat where title='$title'\");
$check = $db->sql_numrows($result);

Those are very good answers. You can also try upgrading your current versions of nuke. Alot of bugs are fixed such as that 1. But Im glad you found your answer because I dont have that problem with version 7.5 nor .6

Yes you can. Then you can acess the 'variable' in index.php just like how you do it using $_GET.

Ok so just to confirm, how would I do the value:
header(\"Location: index.php? $VARIABLE = $VARIABLE\")
something like
header(\"Location: index.php?\" . $VARIABLE . \"=\" . $VARIABLE)
that will work according to the previous, forum? Thanks :)

How to solve: who has which device problem?

\"Member
nitin1 15 Master Poster

Hi everyone,

How are you? Starting some thread after long time :)

Actually, I have a group of 25 people. I have 20-25 mobile devices in my group. So, I have assigned 1-2 device on each person's name(as an owner). But, people in the group ask each other for the device for some help and promise to return it too. They may need specific device for some work which is a genuine thing. But, they forget to return it & person who gave has to ask on emails or each person where his/her device is.

Problem:
Asking on emails is very cumbersome. It is a like a spam everyday. people are asking where my XYZ device, if someone has please return etc.
Also, it delays the work which the person has to do using that device.
Also, it gives birth to a frusrattion too which is not good for a group.

What I want:
There should be some mechanism in which we have a list of all the devices & the curent person name with whom that device is right now.

possible solutions:

  • Have an excel sheet which the person who takes the device should update. No! People don't take that much pain.
  • Have an excel sheet & person who is giving the device should update. No! it will be too much work for him/her. Everyone is asking for some device & updating like this will be an overhead for the complete team.

As we all might have faced this type of issue in every group similar to this. What's ur take? What initiative can I take to solve this for the grouo & ease this thing? Technology can do anything today, isn't it? ;-)

Thanks in advance.

Can you set up user accounts on each device for each person in the group, then have the devices automatically update a spreadsheet with who was the last person to log in to the device?

Alternatively, have a central location for all devices, where they must be placed when not in use and then have the excel spread sheet always available at the same location so people have to sign-out each device when they remove it? - that way if they already have a device out it is convienent to return the device whenever they need a new device. Plus no body has to ask where the device is as they just look in the central location and if not there check the spreadsheet that is there to ID who should have it. Course there will have to be some kind of repercussion for not returning devices when they are done or trading directly with other group members.

Extract part of text file into 2 dimensional string array

\"Member
aunahal2 0 Newbie Poster

Hi,
I have been spending several weeks figuring this out but couldn`t find way to it. Here is what I am planning to do, I have a text file with several data in it, and I have to extract part of the data into a 2 dimensional array.

Here is a sample of the text file where each line represent data in each row in text file:
A
B
C
D
A>3;C>2
D>5;B<3

I want to make a 2 dimensional string array and put it in this form
A B C D
>3 <3 >2 >5 <-- so this sample is a 2x4 array

Here is how I got it: First read through the first 4 row then put each of them in a column. Then read through other 2 row, check which character matches whichof the first 4 rows and put the comparison sign and number under it in the 2 dimensional array. So for example when I get to line\"A>3;B>2\" I check which column A is in and put >3 under it, when encounter a \";\" move to check next one on the line, so check which column C is in and put >2 under it in the new two dimensional array... and so on. I don`t know how to write a java code to extract like what I wanted.

What I have done so far is I was able to get each row into a 1 dimensional string array each from reading the textfile in,
so now I got a string array to have such content:
text[0]=A
text[1]=B
.
.
text[5]=C>5;D<3

But I want to turn those text[] string array into the 2 dimensional string array form that I want. How do I extract content of each string array? How should I start?

text[5]=C>5;D<3

But I want to turn those text[] string array into the 2 dimensional string array form that I want. How do I extract content of each string array? How should I start?

First step: know exactly what assumptions you can make as far as the data file. I am assuming that the first part is a list of letters, one per line, then any line with anything else than a letter is part of the rest of the second part. Seems to me you can disregard any line WITHOUT a > or < sign, so read in a line at a time and if there is only a letter, toss it out. Once you get lines with < or >, you start keeping the data and parsing it. Your delimiter is a semicolon, so split the line into different segments delimited by a semicolon, and throw the semicolon out. String.split could be useful here. You now have strings like \"A>3\". You need to split that into \"A\" and \">3\". You can use String.split again to find the '>' or '<' and split the string again. Then store the \"A\" and \">3\" in your array.

In your example, you have a SINGLE dimension array called text. Have text be a 2-D array so that:

text[0][0] = \"A\";\ntext[0][1] = \">3\";

Image Plotting Problem

it2051229 -3 Junior Poster in Training

I'm having trouble on how am going to start this idea of mine. I have an image and I want to plot points on that image. My Idea is to get the X and Y coordinates of the mouse pointer and save it into a text file so that by the time I re-run the program again, the plotted points is still there. But it seems like this is not a good idea since everything will be messed up if I load the program to a computer with different screen size. I was thinking of placing an invisible grid, but looks like this will be tough to do.

You could look at this snippet http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet1020.html
It uses coordinate transformations, so you are independent of a screen.
You can have an invisible grid by adding a form with FormBorderStyle set to none and Opacity set to zero Be carefull you must provide another way to close this form than the usual closebox because there isn't one.

\"Member
iDeveloper 21 Light Poster

Well, you could create a 2D array to resemble the grid. When someone clicks on the mouse, you could take the mouse pointer (relative to the window not the screen) and convert it to the position in your array. You could even create a nice little collection class to store the grid and then simply serialize it when you need to store the grid.

I have an IIS7.5 server installed on my laptop. I'm learning C#, XML, XSLT, .NET, Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and Microsoft Expression Web.

I am the webmaster on a simple PHP website that I inherited. I figure I ought to learn PHP, but figure I also need to install a PHP add-in to IIS on my laptop. (Someone else hosts the site I inherited for me.)

A basic search comes up with Microsoft Web Platform Installer which leads to a 3rd-party (according to Microsoft) PHP installation from PHP.NET.

Does anyone know if this is the way I should go?
Is this the correct PHP installation?
The install looks straight forward, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

(I hope to eventually get to apache, but will have to put that off, so please don't tell me to install apache - I figure that's probably a different thread!)

When you install apache, you will have to change the port on either IIS or Apache. Both listen on port 80 I think, so that will cause a conflict. I change my Apache server to port 8080 so I could run IIS and Apache at the same time.

Incorrect. Anything in that first argument has to amount to a String, just like the javadoc says for the drawString method. So you could put \"I'm a String!\" + object.toString() in that slot if you wanted to. Or you could even put \"I'm a String!\" + object, I think.
