Save Text file to "My Documents" with .NET (Saturday, September 11, 2004)

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Save Text file to "My Documents"
by:Ben

Hello,

I need to save some information into a text file.
For this, I use :


FileOpen(1, "c:\MyFile.txt", OpenMode.Output)
For I = 0 To iCpt - 1
WriteLine(1, myDs.Tables(0).Rows(I).Item("MyText"))
Next
FileClose(1)

This is running...

BUT I would like to save the text file into "My Documents" of user whos run
application.

--> In place of : FileOpen(1, "c:\MyFile.txt", OpenMode.Output)
--> I would like : FileOpen(1,"c:\Documents and settings\[USER]\My
Documents", OpenMode.Output)

How know ?

Thanks

Ben

 Ben,

try

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal)

to get that path.

Copyright Symbol

First of all thanx for the help with my last q.

Just wondering, how would you insert the copyright symbol into your
projects.

Thankx in advance

 projects.

You mean ©?
Usually, you can hold down the Alt key and press 169 on the number pad.
Otherwise, I'd run the CharMap application and get it from there.

 Hi Radith,

Difficult to say,

However you can start here, I could not find the table either direct

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/unicode_6bqr.asp

When you want to use extended ASCII you can do it with try on error and
start with typing
Alt 129 untill alt 255 and so on to see if it is in your extended ascii
table.(code page)
Or find the code page you are using

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/intl/unicode_81rn.asp

In the code page 437 it is 169 as Frank stated.

I hope this helps

Running a program from CD

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Running a program from CD
by:Brad Allison

Okay, easy question for this newsgroup, but difficult for me being new.

I have an application in where the user can either install the program to
their machine or they can run this from the CD. However, in testing the
program where PCs without the .NET Framework installed, there of course is
an error message. How and where would I write a file to check for the .NET
framework and if it is not present, then install dotnetfx (which I have
provided on the CD)?

Thanks for the information.

by:Anonymous

 I am not sure whether our tool would interest you, salamander linker and mini-deployment tool, which can generate a package that contains your own application and a very small subset of the CLR runtime files. You can copy the generated directory to a CD, and your app will launch w/o .NET installation on the target machine. More info can be found here:

A trial version will be posted soon,

 Hi WS

When a program is closed all things from that program are destroyed that are
not saved.

Even more, when you are busy and there is no reference anymore to something,
it will be normaly destroyed by the Garbage Collector.


Sub y
dim a as integer = 1
end sub


Is creating an integer with the value 1 from which will be told that it can
be deleted as soon as it is created. (To hold this you can use the keyword
"static", however that can be very confusing when used)

I hope this helps?

Update to DataTable having Calculated Row

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Update to DataTable having Calculated Row
by:manish.chaturvedi@hmshost.com (Manish)

Hello Everyone
I am having weird problem in my datagrid bounded to datatable. My
datatable is populated from SQLServer database. DataGrid has
Calculated column Week% and Calculated record, SPLH.
An example of datagrid is

Category Amount Week%
Revenue 200
Cost 60 30
Hours 100
SPLH 2
Payroll 100
Benefit 30 30
Controllable 10 5

Record for category - Revenue, Cost, Hours, Payroll and Benefit is
extracted from database in SQL Server. These records are extracted
into a DataTable, which is binded to DataGrid. Also i have attached
Column Changing event to DataGrid on Column Week%.
Benefit is based on Payroll and Controllable/Cost is based on Revenue.
SPLH is calculated record based on Revenue/Hours and is inserted above
payroll. In column changing event, if i change Week% for category,
then amount is calculated as multiplying week% by category amount, on
which they are based. Therefore if we update week% for
Cost/Controllable, then Cost/Controllable amount changes by week% of
Revenue and same is for Benefit, which is based on Payroll.
Now if i change Cost/Controllable, then Amount and Week% gets updated
based on Revenue, which is above SPLH. For example if i update Cost
week% to 40, then DataGrid looks like-
Category Amount Week%
Revenue 200
Cost 80 40
Hours 100
SPLH 2
Payroll 100
Benefit 30 30
Controllable 10 5

But if i update Week% for Benefit to 50%, then amount gets updated for
benefit, which is based on payroll but week% is preserved. Also it
inserts new record for Benefit above SPLH with new value for Amount
and Week%.
Category Amount Week%
Revenue 200
Cost 80 40
Hours 100
Benefit 50 50
SPLH 2
Payroll 100
Benefit 50 30
Controllable 10 5

Also if i had Payroll above SPLH originally, something like
Category Amount Week%
Revenue 200
Cost 60 30
Hours 100
Payroll 100
SPLH 2
Benefit 30 30
Controllable 10 5

Then changing Week% for Benefit will result in,
Category Amount Week%
Revenue 200
Cost 60 30
Hours 100
Payroll 100
SPLH 2
Benefit 50 50
Controllable 10 5

I think for some reason, if a record is updated based on data above
calculated row, it works fine but if it is being updated based on
record after calculated record, it creates additional record above
first calculated record. Can anyone explain why so?

Thanks,
Manish


 Reply:
by:Cor Ligthert

 Hi Manish,

I saw this question before in this newsgroup. Normaly this means that nobody
can help you.

I think in this case that the question is to complex for a newsgroup.

However a new row will be normaly created by a:
datatable.rows.add(...)
datatable.rows.insertat()
currencymanager.addnew

You can have a look of one of those is in your program

I hope this helps?

Graphics and resizing in .NET

Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Graphics and resize problem
by:Christian Soltenborn

Hi guys,

I have a question to VB .NET: I add a Graphics object to a panel and use
a bunch of DrawLine methods etc (it's really nice and convenient).

But: As soon as I send my form (which contains the panel) to the task
bar and get it back, the graphics are gone.
I guess that I need to add an event handler to the pane (or the form?),
but which event do I have to handle? And which method do I call on the
panel to get it repainted? Panel.Invalidate?
I have the same problem if I resize the form containing the panel - If I
make it smaller such that some of the graphics disappear, they are gone
if I make it bigger again.

One more question: I would like my panel to resize itself if the form
whicht contains it gets resized (e.g. maximized). How can I do this? I'm
actually not sure if this is related to the problem above (maybe the
panel grows, but my graphics just don't get repainted :-)

Sorry if those questions are stupid, but I'm new to VB .NET and to UI
programming...

Thankx in advance,
Christian

by:Ken Tucker [MVP]

 Hi,

If you want the panel to redraw the graphics draw your lines in the
paint event. To get your control to resize itself look at the panels anchor
property.

Neural Nets: Applications in Geography (The Geojournal Library, Vol 29)


Neural Nets: Applications in Geography (The Geojournal Library, Vol 29)
by Bruce C. Hewitson, Robert G. Crane


Hardcover: 194 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 10.00 x 0.75 x 6.75
Publisher: Kluwer Academic Publishers; (May 1, 1994)
ISBN: 0792327462

Book Description
Neural nets offer a fascinating new strategy for spatial analysis, and their application holds enormous potential for the geographic sciences. However, the number of studies that have utilized these techniques is limited. This lack of interest can be attributed, in part, to lack of exposure, to the use of extensive and often confusing jargon, and to the misapprehension that, without an underlying statistical model, the explanatory power of the neural net is very low. Neural Nets: Applications for Geography attacks all three issues; the text demonstrates a wide variety of neural net applications in geography in a simple manner, with minimal jargon. The volume presents an introduction to neural nets that describes some of the basic concepts, as well as providing a more mathematical treatise for those wishing further details on neural net architecture. The bulk of the text, however, is devoted to descriptions of neural net applications in such broad-ranging fields as census analysis, predicting the spread of AIDS, describing synoptic controls on mountain snowfall, examining the relationships between atmospheric circulation and tropical rainfall, and the remote sensing of polar cloud and sea ice characteristics. The text illustrates neural nets employed in modes analogous to multiple regression analysis, cluster analysis, and maximum likelihood classification. Not only are the neural nets shown to be equal or superior to these more conventional methods, particularly where the relationships have a strong nonlinear component, but they are also shown to contain significant explanatory power. Several chapters demonstrate that the nets themselves can be decomposed to illuminate causative linkages between different events in both the physical and human environments.

Intelligent Task Planning Using Fuzzy Petri Nets (Series in Intelligent Control and Intelligent Automation, Vol 3)


Intelligent Task Planning Using Fuzzy Petri Nets (Series in Intelligent Control and Intelligent Automation, Vol 3)
by Tiehua Cao, Arthur C. Sanderson


Hardcover: 192 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 9.00 x 0.75 x 6.50
Publisher: World Scientific Pub Co Inc; (December 1, 1996)
ISBN: 9810225563

Book Description
This book describes an approach to intelligent task planning in a robotic system. Petri net and fuzzy logic are integrated and used to represent task sequence planning and error recovery. During the generation and execution of task plans, different kinds of uncertainties need to be handled to ensure the efficiency and reliability of the system. Following a systematic modeling procedure, a fuzzy Petri net is constructed based on geometric relations, fuzzy variables, and reasoning structures. The resulting net can be used to analyze and control the system. Many examples are discussed to illustrate the theory and the applications of fuzzy Petri nets.

Nets, Terms and Formulas : Three Views of Concurrent Processes and their Relationship (Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science)


Nets, Terms and Formulas : Three Views of Concurrent Processes and their Relationship (Cambridge Tracts in Theoretical Computer Science)
by E. R. Olderog, C. J. van Rijsbergen (Editor)

Hardcover: 277 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 10.00 x 0.75 x 7.00
Publisher: Cambridge University Press; (October 3, 1991)
ISBN: 0521400449

Book Description
The author presents a theory whereby nets, terms and formulas represent concurrent process at three levels of abstractions: Petri nets are used to describe all details of the operational machine behavior of processes. Algebraic process terms such as Calculus of Communicating Systems (CCS) or Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) two of the main models for parallel programming, are used to describe the architecture of processes, i.e. how they can be composed from subprocesses. Logical formulas of a first-order trace logic are used to describe the safety and liveness aspects of the communication behavior of processes as required by their users. The main emphasis and technical contribution of this theory are transformations for a top-down design of concurrent processes starting with formulas and proceeding through terms to nets.

An Occupational Information System for the 21st Century: The Development of O Net


An Occupational Information System for the 21st Century: The Development of O Net
by Norman G. Peterson, Michael D. Mumford, Walter C. Borman, P. Richard Jeanneret, Edwin A. Fleishman

Synopsis
"The Dictionary of Occupational Titles" has been relied on for workforce development since its inception during the Great Depression. But as global competition and technological change created a new world of work, the Department of Labour realized that a more flexible and precise system was needed. Thus, the O*NET system, or the Occupational Information Network, was launched. Written by the developers of the O*NET system, this edited volume describes the research and methodology used in the development and validation of this ground-breaking system. The O*NET is intended to provide a framework for describing jobs capable of addressing the needs of workers and employers into the 21st century. Instead of relying on rigid task descriptions, the O*NET uses domains of worker and occupational characteristics - such as abilities, work styles, and organizational context - to describe each job. This volume details each of the main domains used by the O*NET. It outlines how each was quantified and provides statistical analyses on its development and validation. The volume also places the O*NET system in its historical context and describes how this innovative new system can support the creation of jobs tailored for the new economy. This volume should be of interest to industrial/organizational psychologists, human factors specialists, counselling psychologists, vocational counsellors, rehabilitation counsellors, occupational analysts and labour market analysts.


Book Info
Describes a two-year effort to develop a comprehensive occupational information system, suitable for many purposes, that would primarily reside in electronic media. Product is a prototype of the national occupational information system intended to replace the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, c1991, and its supporting technology. For researchers and practitioners. Softcover.

Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (May 2003)
ISBN: 0415965608

Synopsis
Asian America.Net demonstrates how Asian Americans have both defined and been defined by electronic technology. From 'model minority' stereotypes in the software industry to the "techno-orientalism" of computer games, these associations weigh heavily on contemporary discourses of race, ethnicity, gender, and technology.

Book Description
Asian America.Net demonstrates how Asian Americans have both defined and been defined by electronic technology. From "model minority" stereotypes in the software industry to the "techno-orientalism" of computer games, these associations weigh heavily on contemporary discourses of race, ethnicity, gender, and technology. The thirteen essays gathered here critically examine the intersections of these discourses in mainstream media including novels and film, in alternative currents such as chat rooms and comic books, and in "real life." A landmark contribution to the study of cyberculture, Asian America.Net illuminates the complex networks of identity, community, and history in the digital age.

ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with C#


ASP.NET 1.0 Namespace Reference with C#
by Amit Kalani, Dave Gerding, Matt Milner, Bruce Lee, Matt Gibbs, Jason Bell, John Schenken, Andy Elmhorst, Mike Clark, Alex Homer, Alex Lehmberg


Paperback: 880 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 2.04 x 9.02 x 7.36
Publisher: Wrox Press; 1st edition (July 2002)
ASIN: 1861007442

Book Info
This reference is tailored for the C# programmer. A pure ASP.NET reference for experienced ASP.NET. Softcover.


From the Publisher
This book is not meant as a tutorial to ASP.NET, and is not recommended for people who are fresh to .NET. We are assuming you are already aware of how to program with ASP.NET, but need a more complete reference to the relevant namespaces than is provided in the documentation.
This book is a major reworking of the original title ASP.NET Programmer's Reference. It is not recommended that you buy this title if you have the original.

The code and syntax examples in the book are all in C#.


Book Description
This book is a complete reference to the ASP.NET namespaces for developers who are already familiar with using ASP.NET. There is no trivial introductory material or useless .NET hype - we get stuck into the .NET Framework and don't look back. We provide in-depth coverage of all the major ASP.NET classes in a pure reference format, giving you those real-world tips that the documentation doesn't offer, and demonstrating complex techniques with simple examples.

Each chapter covers another of the ASP.NET namespaces, from System.Web right through to System.Web.Services.Protocols, with coverage of individual classes, methods, and properties presented in easy-to-use alphabetical order. For anyone who is serious about getting the most out of the ASP.NET classes, this book is a must.
