Get The Updater To Check A Text File Uploaded Onto Server?
Jun 2, 2010
Having no real experience with updater-style applications, basically I want a secondary EXE to be bundled with my application which will update the program file. Its a one file application - so its a simple process. Its just for the PC's inside the business.Currently, I think it will be easiest to get the updater to check a text file uploaded onto our server, and determine whether the running version number is above or below that. The new application will then be downloaded from a simple http link.
-I have an interface designed, so that will be attached to my request.
-Is it possible for the updater to update itself? How could I request that?
-Is there any way I can ask that the link which the updated file will be downloaded from is definitely hidden from the user?
-Will the developer incorporate error handling for if the program is running when the updater runs? How do I ask for that?
Is there a better way for the updating process to run? What other things should I ask the developer to include?

I need a snippet to check file for validity (I'm allowing users to upload xml files). So I need to check whether uploaded file is XML. The best I can think of is just check if extension is ".xml". What if its replaced?

I'd like to get both C# and VB.NET sugestion.
I have an ASP.NET FileUpload control, which allows only image type. I used RegularExpressionValidator like below.
<asp:FileUpload ID="fuPhoto" runat="server" TabIndex="40" />
<asp:RegularExpressionValidator ID="RegularExpressionValidator3"
runat="server" ControlToValidate="fuPhoto" Display="Dynamic"
[Code]....
This method will only verify the file's extension, not its actual type. Once I receive the file, I want to examine its contents to determine what it really is, in this case image only.
How do I examine the file content being uploaded?

I'm trying to get a specific error message posted when a user tries to upload a file that exceeds the maxrequestlength of 10MB for my asp:fileupload object. However, adding the onError attribute to my fileupload object, the user does not get the error I want displayed; the page just crashes. Setting customerrors mode to on and setting up a redirect page doesn't work either; the page still crashes. How am I supposed to get the page to display a specific error without crashing?

I am developing an application that will do 2 things:
- connect to a webservice
- Upload/download files through WebDAV.
Seems to work fine, but I am having an issue with debugging. Since WebDAV is installed on the server, i have to publish the webservices there aswell, as the webservice is going to access the file locally (serverside) after upload to the server. This makes it impossible for me to debug the webservices. When i switch to the local services for debug, they cannot reach the file that was uploaded to a remote location (the server). Is it possible to install a local WebDAV server, even if i do not have IIS set up? Just for testing purposes?

I am writing a code that downloads alot of information from different servers. Puts the information in an excel spreadsheet, saves the sheet, and uploads it to an FTP page for each server. The code is running into an OutOfMemoryException. Is there a way to clear the memory after each servers file is uploaded to the FTP?Or is there another way to fix the problem with out adding memory to the server the code is running on?

I am trying to figure out how to read a text file and check the value entered into a textbox to see if it already exists. Its basically a validation list.
I found some code on how to read a text file, but I do not know what to do with the information.
Sub Main()
If RadioButton1.Focus = True Then
'Check TextBox1 value against list of known part numbers
[Code]...
How do I compare the textbox value to a line read from the file and stop if there is a match?

I'm trying to make my app check for updates by reading a text file and comparing it to a 'currentversion' setting in my application (or if checking the executable file version is easy, that would be good).
Here are the basic steps: -Read text file hosted on [URL]..-Check if the version number (eg '1.1') is higher than the number in the 'currentversion' setting or the executable file version (whichever is easier).
-If the text file version number is the same, change form background colour to green, if it is higher, change the background colour to red.

Here are the details of the exception:[code...]
I'm not at all used to working in VB, and i'm not sure if i did that HTML right either, so that could be the problem.
