Serialization Throwing ArgumentException / InvalidCastException / Debug Approach Needed
Dec 7, 2011
We have a web solution with mixed C# and VB.NET (3.5) projects (note: several vb.net files do have Option Strict Off). Our code runs as modules inside DotNetNuke 4.8. Under certain conditions, our application will crash at the method:[code]If I look at the Formatters.Binary part of MSDN I'd guess the ObjectWriter is internal for Binary (as suggested in the comments, red)?How can .NET even at all fail at casting a Int64 to String? Rephrased: what value for a Int64 could potentially not be converted to a String? However, as pointed out in comments: Int64 can easily be converted to Strings, but Casting them is a different issue.The Serialize method doesn't announce this ArgumentException or InvalidCastException may occur (in the Exceptions section).I tried investigating XYZ and types for properties in that class in ildasm to see any irregularities but couldn't find any.

I've been using XML serialization for a while, and today I realized something really odd. If I have a new line right after a "dot" (.), when i deserialize, I lose the dot. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? The following is my serialization code:

I have two experimental web services. One is an asmx contained within a .net web application. The other is a WCF service library being invoked from the web application.The asmx basically does everything I need, but I think WCF would be better, except that it doesn't do anything as I would expect after fiddling with the asmx service.For example, the same method behaves differently in each:
' ASMX
<WebMethod(BufferResponse:=True, EnableSession:=False)>
Function Test(aObject as Object) as Object
' object will have been successfully serializaed into a dictionary

Simple question that does not seem to be covered: If I use a lot of Debug.WriteLine statements in my code, will they be completely absent in my production version?
I mean: Is the compiler smart enough to not emit any code for those calls? Or would I have to surround them by #if DEBUG..#end if directives?

I have an error but will explain how i set up my db:Two tables, One is called Area and the other Postal_Code.
The aim is to assign a postal code to the area.Sometimes we add postal codes and sometimes these codes change or need to be deleted.I used the wizard to create the datasets and dropped them on two forms linked to a SQL db.We can Add,Edit,Update & Delete so all is working fine there is no relationship between te tables as they dont need to be linked, I only require the PCode to me added to the Area Table, not any ID or Index etc.
One of the fileds in the Grid on the Areas form is the Postal Code, its set to a combobox that when the user is adding it gives them a selection of postal codes to select from.I get the error when loading the datagrid on the Area form: System.ArgumentException: DatagridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid
This happens only when the postal codes are changed or deleted in the Postal codes table.
I know what causes the error - the dropdown on my Areas form looks for the value in the Postal Code table and does not find it beacause it has either been changed or deleted.Im doing this manually - I go into SQL and remove the postal code data from the record.Then the form loads with no errors.
Q: Is there any way when the Datagridview loads that I can tell it when the PCode does not exsist in the Postal Codes table that it should rather leave it blank and warn the user that there are errors they need to fix befor they can save.

I've tried pretty much everything to solve this problem (except what works, obviously) and almost worn out Google, so now I'm giving this forum a chance. Basically I'm making an application which needs to map column names in an excel spreadsheet to fields in a table (TableB) through a data transfer setup table(TableA); To make this work as planned, I need to compare a value in "FromField" in TableA with headers/column names read from an excel spreadsheet into a list of strings, and if they match, map "FromField" against "ToField", prior to importing data from the spreadsheet. The column names that don't match with "FromField" are to populate a combo box in the FromField column in my DataGridView.
PROBLEM: I get this to work fine as long as I don't handle case differences (e.g. "FieldToBeImported" in Field1 vs. "fieldtobeimported" as header in spreadsheet), but this prevents matching words with case differences to be mapped, and leaves it to the user to manually map fields that should have been mapped automatically. However, if I make a ToUPPER copy of the List Of String that contains the MS Excel column names and compare them to a ToUpper version "FromField" data, I get the error message from the topic:
"System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid"A little explanation on DataGridView2 before diving into the code: Column in index 0 is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn added in code, where matching fields in column 0 and 1 are mapped, and non-matching fields are populated in the combobox.Column in index 1 is "ToField" (TableA as source), Column in index 2 is "FromField" (TableA as source) and is hidden in runtime.

In this screen I want to let the user decide which elements are on shown on a label. When I hit the update button (BDUpdate_Click; see below), it first checks whether the Barcode sample text is empty. Afterwards I want to invole the refresh of the label preview. The strange thing is that the first time it works fine, but when I alter the sample text and hit the button again, I get the Error "System.ArgumentException was unhandled. Parameter is not valid." The error points to the DrawSting function in the LabelPreview_Paint Sub
Dim BarcodeLabelUpdate As Boolean

I understand that there are several ways of Inserting, Updating and Deleting records in a database such as DataAdapters, DataSets, TableAdapters, SqlCommandBuilders, Parameterized SqlCommands, StoredProcedures, etc, etc,etc. According to David Sceppa Sprocs are the most preferred. Ok, I go with him on this one (who am I to challenge him anyway?).
My question is, apart from Sprocs, which of these options is the BEST for a large commercial database application and why, taking performance into account? What are the benefits and drawbacks of each option?

I am writing a program to assist Paramedic students in learning the Drugs that they have to know in order to pass their classes. I have created an Access database to hold all the information on these drugs, but not every student that will use this program will need to learn all the drugs contained within this database.
Right now I have 43 drugs in the database and still growing.
What I want to do is to present to the student the drugs and have them say "Y" or "N" as to whether its on their required list to learn. That way they only work on the ones that they need to.

To write a effecient Active Directory library to ease the work of technicals who are responsible to create access models into the domain controller's Active Directory. This library must allow the following:Basic operations: Add, Modify, Delete, List entries;An entry may either be an organizational unit, group or user (no further need required as of now);I thought about having a class which would represent the domain with which we want to work with.

I have a database with three tables:
stock
orders
order_details
Stock and Orders are self explanatory. Order_details is a lookup table, holding basically just the orderID, stockID and quantity for each item in the order. That's not very friendly for the user however, so what I want to show is a DataGridView with some elements from order_details, and some from stock, i.e.:
Part_Code, Item_Name, Description, Quantity, Price
I can create a database view for this easily enough, and bind it to a datagridview. It shows existing items in the order fine, but the problem is the view doesn't update when I add new elements to order_details in the dataset. It appears that it's bound to the main database, and so won't update until I save the record. That also has the problem that it's now much harder to update the database. A simple datagridview bound to order_details would make it easy for the user to enter quantities and for me to save the record, this one now needs a custom update statement.
In summary:
- I want to show data from two tables
- I want the datagridview editable (well, the quantity column anyway)
- I want the datagridview to update when I add entries in the dataset
What is the best/easiest way to do this? Is my current approach of a view in the database and custom update statements sensible? How can I get the datagridview to refresh whenever there's a change to the local dataset?

I recently started a project and needed to do some integration with LDAP via DirectoryServices. I've done this in other apps so I went into one of them to see how I did it -- why reinvent the wheel right? Well, while this wheel works, it was developed years ago and kinda smells (it's wooden, firmly attached to the previous vehicle, hard to repair and produces a potentially bumpy ride).So I thought to myself, this is the perfect time to refactor this puppy and make it more portable, reusable, reliable, easier to configure etc. Now that's fine and dandy, but then I started feeling a tad overwhelmed regarding to where to start. Should it be a separate library? How should it be configured? Should it use IoC? DI?
So my [admittedly subjective] question is this -- given a relatively small, but quite useful class like the one below, what is a good approach to refactoring it? What questions do you ask and how do you decide what to implement or not implement? Where do you draw the line regarding configuration flexibility? [Note: Please don't bash this code too much okay? It was written a long time ago and has functioned perfectly well baked into an in house application.]
