i am using visual studio 2008 using vb.net. I have opened an xml stream and am reading it using xmltextreader. So far so good. I am using the following code to parse the stream and to get an understanding of what it contains and how to use the info.

I am producing an XML file in my unit test using
Public Sub rssParserTest
Dim Const rssUri as String = "rssTestFile.xml"
Dim xmlFile = <rss version="2.0">

I want to remove the unit test dependency on a physical file and use a stream instead but my efforts so far have come to nought. (Is this best practise?)I am using NMock2 for mocking if I should be doing something with that.
how i can read text or HTML from a website opened in IE?
This is the code i'm trying to use:
For Each ie As InternetExplorer In New ShellWindowsClass()
HTML = ie. ???

I want to read the HTML code of the page into a string.
I'm trying to read data from some local XML files and process data from them using VB.net.
The format is:

I'm sending an http request through a proxy using tcp, and then using a streamreader to read the netstream...The streamreader is supposed read each line up to </html> , however it doesn't seem to be waiting for the packet/response to be fully received, as it always returns only the first 5-10 lines of HTML.If I add a breakpoint at the line "Using sr", and pause it there for a few seconds and then continue the execution, it will return the full HTML up to the </html> as it should.This is the part of my code which reads the response.
Dim sendbytes As Byte()
sendbytes = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(ReqHeaders)
netstream = tcp.GetStream()
netstream.Write(sendbytes, 0, sendbytes.Length)

I've got an XMLTextWriter writing to a Stream of a WebRequest. Everything works as it should:

How can I intercept this XML that's being written as an XMLDocument type? I tried snagging it from the stream but that gave me a 'The stream does not support reading.' exception
I am sending data to server via TCP IP Connection. I am using a continuous loop at the server end - that accepts new clients and while streams can be read, it reads data stream.
The data is sent from the client with 2 leading bytes of data that represent the size of the packet of data sent and type of data.
My question is: how do I retrieve the size of the data packet and then check that this amount of data has been retrieved?

i need to read a large file stream binary my code is Dim sr As New IO.FileStream(srcFile,
[Code]..
I need to read signed and unsigned 8 bit, 16 bit and 32 bit values from a file stream which may be little-endian or big-endian (it happens to be a tiff file which carries the byte order indicator at the start).I initially started by writing my own functions to read the values and was able to do so for unsigned values. e.g.
Public Function ReadUInt32() As UInt32
Dim b(4) As Byte
input.Read(b, 0, 4)
[code]....
But then I started looking at signed values and my brain broke.As an alternative, I found the IO.BinaryReader which will let me read signed values directly but doesn't seem to have any way to indicate that the data is big-endian or little-endian.Is there a nice way of handling this? Failing that, can someone tell me how to convert multiple bytes into signed values (in both byte orders)?

I am parsing some xml entries using the xmltextreader and looking for the elements I need by using different textreaders for each in a different loop as follows:
Dim treader As XmlTextReader = New XmlTextReader(New StringReader(item.ToString))
While treader.Read
If treader.Name = "summary" Then
content = treader.ReadElementContentAsString
[code].....
and I do the same for each element I am looking for. Now the problem arises when I get the results for each. I use an arraylist for each element and at times I will have an unequal amount like 100 for summary, 100 for title , 99 for id etc...is there a more efficient way of doing this by checking the entry if all the nodes are there and then just skipping it if it's not.
<entry>
<summary>
<id>

in an winForm app in VS2010 win 7 compiling to x86, I try to do what Alvas.Audio seems to work. See (c# ex: [URL] for reference.
Dim data() As Byte = wr.ReadData(second * i, second)
The result give me data.length()=0. I do not have any exception, I can read format from it and whatever reader I use I got this problem.EDIT : After some tests, it seems like the uncompressed file I create in the first step (in PCM format, with .wav extension) can not be recognized by the Alvas.audio library for the second step. I must miss something around Audio file markups or something alike.
Here is the code that might be the source (basically this is step 1):
Dim functOut As String = String.Empty
Dim wr As Alvas.Audio.IAudioReader = Nothing
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = Nothing
[code]....
How can I write the resulted stream to be sure I can read it again later?
I'm trying to parse this XML for the values of puppies and kittens.
<Pets>
<Puppies>4</Puppies>
<Kittens>2</Kittens>
</Pets>
Here's my code
[Code]...
On the first read, the element name is "Pets" and the Case Else gets hit. On the next read, the element name is "Puppies" and puppyCount is correctly set to 4.
But then it seems to skip over "Kittens" and go directly to the inner XML. What should I be doing?
EDIT: XmlReader is faster than other .NET parsers, but my files are small enough that it's probably not a benefit. Joe Ferner's tests. EDIT 2: There's a reader positioning problem in the original code.
I've got a function api_request which takes API method as an argument, and returns XMLTextReader.
Shared Function api_request(method As String) As XmlTextReader
request_text = method & ".xml"
url = "[URL]" & request_text & "&access_token=" & token
Return New XmlTextReader(url)
End Function
I call this function from different places to make request to site API and depending on the method results are parsed very differently. So in each method I have something like this:
Dim s As Xml.XmlReader = api_request("users.get")
While s.Read
If s.NodeType = XmlNodeType.Element Then
If s.Name = "user" Then
[Code] .....
As you may see, I have the code ElseIf s.Name = "error" Then error_handler(s, "user.get"). This is because when error happens, server always returns something like this:
<error>
<error_code>4</error_code>
<error_msg>Incorrect signature</error_msg>
</error>
This is parsed in error_handler Sub, and depending on the error following actions are chosen. This code works, but I have to check if I encounter error like that ElseIf s.Name = "error" every time, though all the methods call the api_request function. Is it possible to check for error in api_request function before returning the Reader? The problem is if I start reading xml there, and there isn't an error, I can't anyhow position the Reader to the start.
I'm hoping somebody can help me with this... I am reading an XML file created from the server and all is good except that when I try to process the file it's always skipping one of the first child elements. And when I run a test with no processing, just a straight reader and looping through the elements, the 1st element is there. But as soon as I add a check to see if the node is an Element, it skips an "Attachment" element.Here's my XML:

I'm trying to build a program updater based around downloading XML files from a server. The idea being that the servers XML file contains the current version number and installer location. the updater either gets dumped in the startup folder or gets installed as a service, etc. The program successfully reads and parses the current version xml file and it successfully downloads the xml file from the server.
However when I try to parse the newly downloaded file from the server I get the error:
'IOException was unhandled'
'The process cannot access the file 'C:Program Files (x86)TestServerVersion.xml' because it is being used by another process.'
The code is as follows with the error marked by a comment on line 52:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Xml.XmlTextReader
Imports System.Net
Module Module1
[Code] .....
It's still work in progress but there's not much point in writing code to download and execute the installer if I can't work out the location of the new version. In case it's of use here is the XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<VersionConfig>
<AvailableVersion>2.0.0.0</AvailableVersion>
<ApplicationUrl>http://192.168.2.226/EPI/2.0.0.0/</ApplicationUrl>
</VersionConfig>
Im making a desktop player for a online web radio, and for the program I wanna make it show all the stream info. Like the stream name, and such. However I dont know how to do this? I looked everywhere
The server url is setup like this "[URL]" And it has all the stream info and that there. So is there a way I can get the info from there onto like say a label? Live updates btw.
OverviewThe fastest way to read or write Xml documents in a linear fashion is to use the XmlTextReader and XmlTextWriter classes in the System.Xml namespace. If read- or write-only forward-only access is too limiting, however, the System.Xml.XmlDocument class provides the ability to easily modify existing documents (adding, removing, or modifying elements and / or attributes) and leverages the powerful search capabilities of XPath.
Getting StartedThe XmlDocument can load Xml from a string in memory, from a URL, or from a file path. There are two methods that enable this functionality: Load and LoadXml. To load a document from either a URL or file path, use the Load method. Following is an example of using the LoadXml method to load an Xml document from memory. (NOTE: we will be working with this particular document throughout this article)

I'm trying to use an XmlTextReader to read simple XML data from a file I wrote using the XmlTextWriter class. I've very little experience with XML and reading/writing from it, so it's been a little struggle. The writing part went OK though, but I can't really figure out how to do the reading. All examples I found using google handled it all slightly differently, and none made it really clear what they were trying to read...I am storing the position, size and a filepath of MDI windows using this format:
xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<MDIForms>
<Form X="208" Y="95" W="424" H="277">C:UsersNickDesktopabc.plm</Form>
[code].....
obviously I cannot do what I want with this. I need to get the attributes in each element too, and I need to read multiple elements and do something for each element...

I have a problem with the cryptostream, if i write the stream to a memorystream the memory that the stream used is still alocated and i have no way of unalocating it.what am i missingdoing wrong? im using-using on the streams,readers and crypto stuffs so the framework should shut them all down right? i tryed calling .close and .dispose but nothing ,in fact i moved it all over I have provided the sub that im using for the encrytion im in .net 4.5 so there is a lil async stuff but i know thats not the problem coz i moved this code out of my main app(.net 4) for testing to see if i could fix the problem.[code...]

View 3 RepliesIf I need to run a sub from another form, I would normally do something like this:
DirectCast(Application.OpenForms("frmTest"), frmTest).PublicSub()
How would I run the sub if the user never opened the form? The form is an options form and it may not be opened by the user if they opt out of changing the default values. I don't want to change the location of the sub because the sub relies on a lot of info on that form.
I tried Google and playing around with intellisense, but I've come up with nothing so far.
I have question regarding how i can check if the form is opened or not ??

Check If Folder Is Opened?
View 2 RepliesI've got an application which I want to only have 1 open.How would I make it check if the application is already open and only open if it isn't? I've had the idea of using 2 forms, one of which is the proper application and the other which just checks if its running then opens the other form.I would imagine it would check if there's more than 1 of the process name running and if there is close all others?
