VS 2008 Developing A Custom Component (single Signed Dll File)

Nov 26, 2011

Im currently developing a custom logging component, that we will deploy with all our applications, windows services, webapps, windows apps etc. I have a few questions of various nature. The component is a single signed dll file:

1) Which is the "safest" way to get the current directory? For example, in the config file, in the config section I have a property "logpath". The application will read this and write a log file depending in what they write:

c:myapplog (it will write a log here, create whatever folders it need) /Log (directly under the installed app directory, like c:program filesmyappLog) Log (same as above) I need something that work with both windows and web apps, for webapps it will log under the virtual directory of the aspnet app.

2) For exception handling, if nothing special is happening, like in the DAL, I get a sql server exception, is there any point in using

VS 2010 Signed And Unsigned Integer NOT: For Hex File Checksum Computation?

Feb 22, 2012

I have been trying to compute the checksum for a line of hex code. This is to create a hex file which will be loaded onto an embedded micro.Some of you guys may not know how this is done so very briefly:

a line of hex bytes:

: 10 01 00 00 21 46 01 36 01 21 47 01 36 00 7E FE 09 D2 19 01 40

The underlined bytes are taken and summed. (in this case the decimal 960). and the bold is the checksum Only the 8LSB (or single least significant byte) is needed to compute the checksum... which in this case, 960 = 03C0 in hex, so only C0 is needed.Two's complement is then taken:

step 1) logical not of C0 which is
step 2) add one (integer)
BIN...........DEC...HEX

[code]....

So here is the code I have been using: (quick mention that in the string passed, the hex bytes are all grouped together, there are no space characters)

Public Sub CreateLine(ByVal Data As String)
'Dim BDataArray(DataLength) As Byte
Dim IDataArray(Data.Length) As Integer

[code]....

where i get into trouble is where i commented 'i get into trouble'. My code works, but it's rather crude Now, in that line i first convert the hex value (string) "SChecksum" into an integer. I want to NOT this, so I get my step 2 from my explanation. However, the results appears to be a signed logical NOT. which gives me the wrong answer. My hashed togther version simply subtracts 256 before the not, in order to give me the correct answer.

Basically, I would love for someone to chime in and point out the flaws in my function, and push me towards figuring out the 'proper' way of doing this. Also I can't quite wrap my head around what would happen in the case a string were passed to my function that is over 16 bits, but I imagine I would have to subtract a larger value than 256, before doing the NOT in this case?(whilst we're on the subject of functions, I've used a 'sub', in which case should I used a sub, and which case should I use a function?).

VS 2008 SSL Stream, Authenticating A Self-Signed Cert?

Sep 2, 2009

Im using the SSL stream class to connect to a server and authenticate their self-signed certificate. My authentication code gets an error: "RemoteCertificateChainErrors". When I drill down into the X509ChainStatuses, I only see a status of "UntrustedRoot" and status information of "A certificate chain processed, but terminated in a root certificate which is not trusted by the trust provider." This seems acceptable due to the self-signed nature of their certificate. I understand that I can ignore this error. However, Id like to do as much as possible to authenticate. I have a certificate from them. Ive been told to add their cert to my root certs somehow. How do I correct my code use this cert in authentication?

[2008] Multiple Lines Of Txt File -> Single String?

Feb 26, 2009

I have a *.txt file which contains instructions and data, with its own comments (preceded by ! ), blank lines, and each instruction begining on a new line, but occassionally using two lines. Each instruction consists of several feilds seperated by a TAB. Finally each instruction ends in a comma. Only a few different instructions are there (10 different ones) but there are many of each. Spanning a good 2500 lines. Comments and blank lines are obviously of no interest to me. I merely need to read the instructions and the data that follows it.

Now, I have successfully used 'System.IO.StreamReader.ReadLine' to go through it line by line, picking out lines begining with certain strings (first 3 characters of a known instruction). All good, I can 'lift' out the lines of interest and store them, for them to be split up later (seperating their fields into instruction, data, etc..) and then into an array.

The problem is, since some of the data fields in these instructions are so long, it spans two lines, before it ends with a comma. Using the above method, I end up with two array entries for a single instruction, since I have stored individual lines rather than a complete instruction. The only similar situation I can tihnk of to explain this, is to pick out sentences in text, and store each one in a string. Of course these end with a period (full stop) but span two or more lines.

I am hesitant to post an example, since its formatting is rather strange, but it is generated that way from 3rd party software, so I cannot change that for my software application.Perhaps there is no 'graceful' way of doing this, meaning I would have to find a way of 'adding' the second line of the instruction, to the string of the first line. Or perhaps reading each line character by character, literally storing every number/letter until I reach a comma.

Custom Single-Instance Application - Read-only Cache

Mar 14, 2011

I'm trying to build a single-instance application, but not in the traditional sence. Instead of a simple silent prevention of launching a second application, I want it to send a message to said application so it launches a second mainform in my original process.

(I want some read-only cache (language, style,...) shared, and a few sources like local settings shared, but other then that all resources reside in the mainforms and act as seperate applications.)

(I'm not looking for specific code, more for hints/tips and/or general directions, more specificaly on what parameters do you check process equality, and what method do you use to pass the message? Windows Messages? Sockets? ...)

VS 2008 Creating A Custom Log File?

Dec 16, 2009

I'm running several different automated processes and when I get done with them, I show the results in a form with various controls.

In this form, I use Panels, Labels, TextBoxes, and TreeViews, and ListViews to display a wealth of information.

When the automation part is done, I want to be able to log this info and save that log file on the User's PC.

I thought it would be best to make a custom file extension and then hash it with MD5.

I'm pretty sure I can get all of that done. The problem is that I'm not sure how I would load that info back into the application.

Since the log files will appear on a seperate form, I can't just load the data back into the original controls.

Would it be best to create a blank template of controls and then load the data into those controls? Or is there a way to save content "as is", controls and all?

VS 2008 Reading A Custom File Format?

Oct 20, 2009

The file format has already been explained to me, and I can easily view it in notepad to understand it. It's basically a text file with a fancy extension and what not. The only problem is that I need to read it and pull a certain span of data from it.Here's the basic format:

8200
3251
1

[code].....

This is the first 10 lines, which is useless data for me. However, right after the first 10 lines, is a span of an unknown quantity of lines that I do need that are formatted like so:grassC:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesHalo Custom itiondatalevelsestlood_creekitmapslood_creek groundThe first line is the name of a bitmap assigned to the ID, while the second line is the path to the bitmap.Finally, after the unknown span of lines, there are two lines that go in this order:01Which I can safely assume at this point that the list no longer needs to be read.What I need to do is be able to open this file, skip over the first 10 lines which are completely useless, and then pull out the unknown gap of lines, and then stop reading when the line is '0', or at the end of the list.
