• Visual C# How to Create a URL syntax checker in C#

  I would like to create a URL syntax checker so that can verify a cerrtain URL not a phish site. But I am also aware that some URL have valid syntax but is still a phish site. To answer this, I am looking for some measures on how to verify a URL and its correct DNS equivalent. I am doing a project of mine as one of our requirements and I have decided to create a web browser (already done) and I have included there 3 anti-phish tools. One of the tools is to check for URL syntax error. i have searched for such but has given me no good results that can be of any help to my project. I was hoping that some of the bright minds here could help me or enlighten me in my search. Thanks. I have read about an article about it. They use d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to detech if a DLL is loaded by Excel?

  We have some in-house excel add-on (blah.dll), how could we detect if the dll is loaded by the running excel instance One way I can figure is to: try {     String blahStr = (string) Globals.ThisWorkbook.Application.Evaluation("SomeSpecialFunction()"); } catch { MessageBox.Show("the addon isn't loaded!"); } Is there a better way Thanks, FlashFan Hi, Excel doesn't have a way to tell you what dlls are loaded in process. You will probably need to P/Invoke on a Win32 call such as EnumProcessModules ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682631.aspx ) if you want to find out what dlls are loaded. For managed code, you can always get the assemblies running in an AppDomain by cal ...Show All

• Windows Forms LET THE ARGUMENT BEGIN: TO STRONGLY TYPE OR NOT TO STRONGLY TYPE

  Hey All - We're having something of a lively debate in our office about strongly typed datasets. There are two prevailing arguments: Strongly typed datasets do not incur a performance hit due to excess boxing/unboxing, and supports a stronger workflow in a layered approach than does untyped datasets; Strongly typed datasets incur a greater performance hit due to excess boxing/unboxing, whereas untyped datasets only have developer-driven boxing at compile-time. I'm not even going to begin to tell you where I stand. My whole point in posting this argument is to hear some differing opinions on the subject from you, my distributed colleagues. Some background - we have a rather complex environment, and the use of strongly-typed ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Share My.Settings between projects?

  Hi! Currently, I'm making a project that I've decided to split across one EXE and several DLLs. However, I would like all of them to use the same My.Settings config file. Is this at all possible and/or easy Thanks. :) My guess on the way to handle this would be to have all the DLLs have public properties for any setting that they may need and have the main EXE handle all of the settings and use the My.settings to set the DLLs settings by setting a DLL property during the form.load of the EXE code. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem with locking documents.

  I am trying to automate some letters. For example, I have a drop down box used to select the type of document I want. The document will then load, with tags where customer information can be added. By entering a customer number, a DB is searched and returns and fills in all of the information. There is then an option to create an image of the final document. All of this works fine, except in one instance. If I were to select one type of document, complete and image it, and switch to a new type of document, and image it, the image becomes locked and will not unlock. This is not a problem if I do not switch between different letters. Anyone have any ideas Given this isn't a VSTO specific question you'll pro ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating a querry parameters

  Hello, Need a bit of help here. In one table i have my production data on some wheels. Each time the wheel is touched, it gets smaller. Then in another table I have the primary data of that wheel, ie price vendor, make model and scrap diameter. What I'd like to figure out is, In one month, what was the wheel size to start off, what is the end size to give me a total size used during that month. If i could get that, then I think I would be able to figure out what the price cost for useage of that wheel was for the month.

• Visual C# Fast dynamic loading of assemblies in C#.

  Hi, I want to dynamically load some assemblies and invoke certain functions given in those assemblies. All these functions will implement the same interface, so that I don't have to bear the performance hit of a Type.InvokeMember call. For loading these assemblies dynamically I will, obviously, have to use the Assembly.Load/LoadFrom routines. My question is, is it advisable to put some assemblies (which may be dynamically loaded frequently) into the GAC or have some sort of a replacement algorithm (like LRU) to add and remove these assemblies from the GAC Also, if I put these assemblies into the GAC, will the Assembly.Load/LoadFrom routines check the GAC first while searching for the assembly or will I have to query the GAC to ...Show All

• SQL Server Grand Total Problem in Excel

  I found a problem when I use Excel 2003 with MSAS 2005. The problem occurs when I use the Hide Levels feature on a row dimension and select the grand total for columns option. I noticed that when I apply filters to the selection, the Grand Total does not reflect the filtered members. If I Show Details then the Grand Total is properly displayed. However, this problem does not happen on every diminsion. I was able to duplicate the problem using Adventure Works DW. In Excel, put the Product Categories in the Row, Source Currency Code in the Column, Sales Amount as the Data, and Filter on Weight (2.12) and Date.Calendar Year (CY 2004). Ensure that Grand Total for Columns is checked. Show Details down to the Product level; notice that the Grand ...Show All

That's because you can't use desktop assemblies ( PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089 as opposed to PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC for NETCF) on devices. It appears you’re trying to use OLEDB or ODBC desktop providers from desktop .Net 1.0. It can't run, besides it won’t work because ODBC is not supported by the Windows CE OS and there’s no OLEDB driver for Oracle on devices anyway. There’s NETCF compatible Oracle ADO.N ...Show All
