Question: I use an embedded Firebird database in ASP.NET.
Now, Firebird has a .NET wrapper around native dlls.
The problem is, with the ASP.NET compilation and execution process, the dlls get shadow copied to a temporary folder. Unfortunately, only the .NET dlls, and not the native dll.
See [URL] for details.
Now, this makes it necessary to put the unmanaged dll somewhere into the system32 directory (or any other directory in the path environment variable).
Now, I want to change the wrapper/native dll (opensource), so it loads the dlls also if they are only in the bin folder.
Now, my problem is, how can I, in .NET, load an unmanaged dll from an absolute path ? The absolute path is determined at runtime, not at compile-time...
I'm trying to make a custom skin maker for a program I'm working for. The concept is, you provide all the images needed for the program in a folder and then load that folder into the program which then sorts out each image in their respective areas. I know how to load files, but instead of making the user load the files one by one I'd like them to be able to load them from a folder.On a related note, I'd also like to know if it was possible to allow my users to move their controls around the program. For example, say they'd like their exit button in a different location as it'd look nicer with their skin, is there a way to allow them to move it? Particularly, it'd be nice to have a check box that enabled or disabled the ability to drag them around so they don't accidentally drag it when trying to click it.Also, how could I save their changes to this skin so it'd load up the same every time without overriding the default skin.
Finally, I have a piece of code that allows me to drag the form around as it has no normal border but I have a button that keeps it on top at all times, I'd like that button to also disable the ability to move the program while active and restore the mobility once clicked again. Here is the code used to move the program if that helps any.

I have a simple question for you I think, but for me it bugs me a lot
So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"
I'm making a simple app that will need some DLLs that I'm using, but I don't want them to be in the same place as the main exe.How can I make my app to load these dlls from a specified folder, like %mainappfolder%filesdlls ?

View 3 RepliesI have a small databse program that retrives data from a csv file and he user can select different records based on a combobox selection. Now i want to be abeto display a picture for the record selected that is stored in the same folder as the csv file
Example: c:mydocumentsmydatafolderdatafile1
My program makes a connection to Datafile1 and within each record is a number example: 1234, 5678 etc.... Pictures are in the mydatafolder and have same name as the data record number
So record 1234 will have a picture called 1234
so i need my picturebox to get its image from the folder and match the file name based on the selected record If I am on the right track something like this PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:WINNTSanta Fe Stucco.bmp")
However I need the file folder location to be based on what folder user selcted and the file name to be the name (number that is in record of database)
So if user is getting data from c:myfolderdatafolderdatafile3 and has selected record number 1234
The picturebox will get it image from the C:myfolderdatafolder and the file name will be the record number selected in this case 1234
this is the code i have on form load: textbox1.text ="C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktop"
here's the code to load the listbox:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim filepath As String = (textbox1.text)
My.Application.DoEvents()
Try
For Each file As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
[Code]...
now what this does is load the files w/out the file path or extensions , but, it loads the files in the subfolders as well . i just need the desktop files to load in the listbox, not the subfolder files
I want a list of folder names, i want a list of the names so i can remeber what projects i have on the go.
so example,lets say i have 3 folders in my on my desktop and the names are A, B and C i want get a list of theose names so i remeber what projects i have created.
If you don't understand ill try to re word it more specific

I am working on vb.net win form. My task is display the file names from a folder onto gridview control. when user clicks process button in my UI, all the file names present in gridview, the corresponding file has to be loaded onto memory stream buffer one after another and append the titles to the content of the file and save it in hard drive with _ed as a suffix to the file name.I am very basic programmer. I have done the following attempt and succeeded in displaying filenames onto gridview. But no idea of later part.

View 1 RepliesOkay I'm making a song organizer and I have a program that will load the files in a folder into a box and display the songs info into a list view. That part works fine but when you click the button to make it do anything it will get the variables that it need from the tags on the cells for each song but for some reason the one for the Album just disappears... I tried having it just show the value in a message box and it works fine. Just when I try to combine it with another variable then it wont show at all. Heres my code

How can I do it so every time the user loads my application it will automatically (without prompt, or user selecting) upload all the files in a folder i select beforehand and add them into ListBox1

Trying to implement lazy loading in my MODEL I have run into a circular dependency between my MODEL and BLL..Basically imagine a property in my model that I want to implement as follows
Public Readonly Property ProjectCategory As ProjectCategory
Get
If Me._ProjectCategory Is Nothing Then
Me._ProjectCategory = ProjectCategoryBLL.GetProjectCategoryByID(Me._ProjectCategoryID)
End If
[Code]...
I have my MODEL, BLL and DLL in separate projects and because of the fact that my BLL references my model I can not reference my BLL from my model as this would create a circular dependency.
I'm quite new to MVC and while I've been trying to follow the best practices , I believe I may not be understanding certain fundamentals of either
-a. Using models and viewmodels appropriately
-b. Passing models into a controller for validation purposes.
The general purpose of my program is to select a stored procedure from a list of stored procedures, create a form where the user can fill out all the appropriate input variables, and then to execute that stored procedure. The tool is for non-technical people, so I'm eventually going to have to do a good deal of input validation.
As such I have four models: A Script Model, a Parameter Model, a Parameter Enum model and a Query Model, and two viewmodels: a paramviewmodel that generates the form to fill out, and a scriptviewmodel that creates a listbox filled with the possible script choices. I am using a prewritten database system to fill out my viewmodels in an init method in my controller (which I'm not sure is the proper way to do this?).
The viewmodels are as follows:
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Public Class ScriptViewModel
[Code]....
I'm trying to work out the functionality. Also, I think this may be too much code in the view, even though most of it is display code.
Anyways, I have two main questions. One, does creating a model in my controller, calling an init method on it, and then passing it to the view make any sense in an mvc context (if not, how would I proceed?). Two, if I want to perform validation on the form I output in my htmlhelper, but I want to use my query model validation (and not my paramviewmodel), how can I do that? Most of the examples I've seen involve a controller that recieves an appropriate model variable, and the binding is performed outside the controller itself. They then just check modelstate. Is there any way I could do something similar here?
Edit: Is there any way I can make the syntax highlighting less crappy?
I am trying to figure out the best way to implement a certain part of my model.I have an entity named Customer which has CustomerLocations (1-*) which have SalesOrders (1-*) which have Invoices (1-*).I want to allow them to have multiple addresses (Billing and Shipping) per customer and per location. I want to store those values in the sales orders and invoices, not a foreign key, what if they delete one of their addresses later down the road.I have tried complex types, but then they can't have multiple, can they? And having an Address entity, customer --> address (1-*) is ok, but a bit clumsy. How would you have a collection of billing and shipping addresses.?
View 1 RepliesI have a repository class that defines some basic Get/Save/Delete methods. Inside these, I use NHibernate to do the work on my business entities. For example:
[code]...
However, on my User class I have some properties and collections of other objects that ideally I'd like to be lazy loaded. But of course, the ISession is created and disposed within the repository, which I guess is why, outside of that, when I try to access those properties I get a "Could not initialize proxy - no Session" error.Is my only option then to disable lazy loading when using repositories? Or is it possible (or just foolish) to somehow get the session into scope in the business layer?I do like the repository model, and NHibernate is growing on me (after lots of initial frustration trying to make it work), so what's the best way you gurus have found of using them together?

To make this easier I will use a concrete example using movies and genres. A genre can be associated with many movies. Genres can increase over time and so can movies.
The use case is as follows. The user wants to filter movies by selecting his/her desired genres.
So, I have a page where at the top there is a section where the user can pick any combination of genres to filter on using checkboxes. Below that is a list of movies that are in those genres.
In MVC I am trying to implement this using a ViewPage(of IDictionary(of Genre, Boolean)) where the boolean is whether or not a particular Genre has been selected for filtering.
I then go into loop that creates checkboxes for them to select:
<% for each genre As KeyValuePair(Of Genre, Boolean) in Model %>
<%=Html.Hidden("genre[" & i & "].Key", genre.Key.ID)%>
<%=Html.CheckBox("genre[" & i & "].Value", genre.Value)%>

I have a misunderstanding somewhere with the Entity Framework. This code is from my unit testing:
Public Sub UpdateRosterLinkTest()
Dim target As PlayerAdmin = New PlayerAdmin()
target.PlayerAdminManager = playerAdminTestManager
target.Team = playerAdminTestManager.GetAirForceMensBB()
[code]....
When I run this code, I can see the changes saved to the SQL Server this pulls from (RosterLink = Roster Link, like I set in the unit test).However, my unit test is failing, because team.RosterLink is still Nothing. The function GetAirForceMensBB() returns the Team with TeamId = 12434:
Function GetAirForceMensBB() As DAL.Team
Return (From team In Container.Teams Where team.TeamId = 12434).SingleOrDefault
End Function
I'm sure I'm using the entity framework incorrectly and it probably has something to do with the fact that I am calling the PlayerAdminTestManager in different places, but I don't understand why. Although, I set the PlayerAdminManager to be the PlayerAdminTestManager. PlayerAdminTestManager extends PlayerAdminManager, fyi.Why is team.RosterLink not showing the update from UpdateRosterLink?
EDIT:Container is my ObjectContext. This is how I access the information stored in the database.Container.Teams represents my Teams table.

I am in the process of using a two-dimensional array to find wind chill factors. My application uses a nudTemp for temperature and nudWind for Wind Velocity. When temp and wind are chosen from the nud list, it is supposed to display the wind chill temp in a text box and then display a message box. Right now it does everything it is supposed to do except that it does not display the proper wind chill factor.
I know it is an issue with my arrays so I was provided with an example but I don't know how to modify it so that it matches my code. I have added all of the array values but it is naming the array variables I am having issues with.
Sample code I was provided:
Private arr1 As Integer() = New Integer() {10, 20, 30}
Private arr2 As Integer() = New Integer() {100, 200, 300}
