• .NET Development Ilegal characters in path of file

  An external program creates a file and send me the path of the created file something like this path = "C:\DOCUME~1\NICKOS~1.X-C\LOCALS~1\Temp\00180001.txt" When i execute System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(path); the file opens with notepad. When i try to copy the file i receive an error about ilegal characters in path. Copy(path,newPath); Does anyone can help me Thank You. If you sure that the problem is related to the "8.3" format of the path you can try to convert it to "normal" path before doing something: path = Path .GetFullPath(path); //for "C:\Progra~1" you will have "C:\Program Files" ...Show All

• SQL Server Cubes

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. clearing it up

  so from what i understand the beta comes out on the 30th which is only for use on windows games. Then around this holiday season the full version of express will come out which supports windows and xbox360 use. And to share xbox360 game information you must subscribe to the xbox360 developers club service but you cannot sell your 360games with the express version. And then not untill somtime spring next year the pro version will come out which you need for selling xbox360 games. Is this all correct Also a couple questions i have. I read that you would not recommend the pro version for a small indie newcommers that its more for the established larger developer could you clarify on why that is so Also what most interests me is ...Show All

• Visual C# How to read a binary file into String?

  Please note my binary here does not mean the 1s and 0s, but those unprintable characters. I tried to use File.ReadAllText() but found that the data has been changed. And if I use File.ReadAllBytes(), then I found that in order to convert Byte[] to String, I need to define an encoding. But the data is not a language text but actually some image data. What is the best way to convert a byte array of unprintable character to String Please help. I will grade your answer. Thanks Matthew Watson wrote: If it is not text, why do you need to convert it to a string Why not leave it as an array of bytes Good question. The reason is that I need to manipulate the content by adding some text in ...Show All

• .NET Development .net, .mdb, and the framework

  I am a consultant and I have commissioned work from a programmer I have hired, the software is written in .net for Windows and is not web based. The problem we are having is causing us to pull our hair out. The problem is this: On the developers WinXP machine with 03 visual studio the application he wrote works phenomenally well. On my machine Win2K no visual studio the application he wrote works phenomenally well. The unfortunate problem is that the CLIENT has installed the same application multiple times (XP SP1 and SP2) and is consistently getting the table display errors, either to do with the database access or something to do with the draw routine. He has installed .NET framework 1.1 from MSFT multiple times but its always a no go. I ...Show All
