Hello All, How can I read from standard input and write to standard output. System.Diagnostics.Process.StandardInput's MSDN reference didn't help as it separately starts the process and then redirects the Standard Input/Output but what If the process is already running and called my Application to feed it some data. Here's an example to make things a bit clear: I am simply using Unix pipes i.e. cat command in cygwin (A Linux like Environment for windows) that basically just reads standard input and print to standard output. following is the command: % cat input/sample.txt | src/csharp/maptest But that doesn't seems to work. Any solutions? Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply daveauld. Actually it didn't throw any exception at all just stops the execution and won't continue the loop or the remaining statements after the loop which is kind of weird. Do you have any idea what's wrong with the above code???

        Dim listener As New TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, 7778)

        'start it
        listener.Start()

        Dim bytes(1024) As Byte
        Dim Command As String = Nothing

        While True

            Console.WriteLine("Waiting for a connection... ")
            Dim client As TcpClient = listner.AcceptTcpClient()
            Console.WriteLine("Client connected... ")
            Console.WriteLine("Please Wait... ")

            Dim ns As NetworkStream = client.GetStream()

            Command = Nothing

            Dim i As Integer

            i = ns.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length)
            While (i <> 0)


                Command = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes, 0, i)

                Console.WriteLine(Command)

                i = ns.Read(bytes, 0, bytes.Length) 'stopper

            End While

            ns.Close()
            client.Close()

            Console.WriteLine("...")

        End While

Can anyone please help me why the execution stops at the bold line. Compiler don't execute anything after this line?

Hello All, Visual Studio is behaving kind of strange, the problem occurred when we refactored our solution, we just organized our xslt style sheets and placed them in a separate folder but the changes we made to them doesn't reflect unless and until we move them to their previous location. Are we missing something?

I want to get time in HH:mm:ss format e.g. 13:15:02

AliAmjad(MCP) First make it Run THEN make it Run Fast!

Actually i just want to output the difference of two Timespans with respect to its dates e.g. 07/03/2009 05:00:00 07/04/2009 10:00:00 and the difference i get is 05:00:00 which is not correct i am using the following code:DECLARE @EnterTime datetime, @DischargeTime datetime Select @EnterTime = convert(varchar,EnterTime,8) from visit Select @DischargeTime = convert(varchar,NextTime,8) from visit Select convert(varchar,@DischargeTime - @EnterTime,8)
the above code is working fine if the duration is between 24 hours. Can you please suggest me a solution or i have to apply the logic on programmatic side i.e. .NET?

I'm issuing a Web Request and the stream i receive in response is empty but when i navigate to the same URL in my browser it's working fine and returning the data. Bellow is the basic code i am using right now.

Dim req As HttpWebRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://192.168.15.40/touchscreens/get.qsp?display=1")

        Dim res As HttpWebResponse = req.GetResponse

        Dim sr As New StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream)

        Dim dataReturned As String = sr.ReadToEnd

        sr.Close()

        MsgBox(dataReturned)

What could be the problem? Thanks for your help!

Previously everything was working just fine but today when I opened Visual Web Developer and then opened the Web Form in design view it gives me this ever lasting dialog box "Windows Installer - Preparing to Install". Please Help!

AliAmjad(MCP) First make it Run THEN make it Run Fast!

Previously my code was working perfectly fine but suddenly showing up this error Unable to write data to the transport connection:An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host; whenever i try to write something on the network stream. Following is the code i am using right now:

 Dim PacketSize As Integer = 8192

        Dim client As New TcpClient
        client.Connect(IPAddress.Parse("192.168.15.51"), 7771)

        Dim ns As NetworkStream = client.GetStream

        Dim fs As New FileStream(FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)

        Dim buffer(PacketSize - 1) As Byte

        Dim i As Integer
        i = fs.Read(buffer, 0, PacketSize)

        While i <> 0

            ns.Write(buffer, 0, i) <-- this line cause the error

            i = fs.Read(buffer, 0, PacketSize)

        End While


        fs.Close()
        ns.Close()

There's no anti-virus or firewall on target machine. I've even turned window's firewall off. Do i have to start any service on the target machine which somehow stopped??? I've searched everywhere but didn't find solution. Please help.

Can anyone please give me a hint how to check whether a file i being accessed by another process or not, so that i can open it for manipulation. Thanks in advance!

I am using the following code to Add up the difference of two time fields but It's not showing the correct record when the hours part increases above 24 means It shows the correct addition only if It's between 24 hours. For example WaitingTimeTotal (hh:mm:ss) ---------------- 03:18:46 03:25:06 ________ 06:43:52 which is correct but WaitingTimeTotal (hh:mm:ss) ---------------- 03:18:46 03:25:06 16:23:46 07:24:20 ________ wrong answer!!! The code i am using is

convert(varchar,convert(DateTime, SUM(convert(real, ConfTime - EnterTime))),108)WaitingTimeTotal

Can you please guide me. Thanks in advance !

My Question is how can we access DataTable events inside a Dataset in ASP.NET because I can't access the Partial Class for writing logic for RowChanging or RowChanged events. Thanks in advance !

I am completely off the road i think if i can rephrase the question should i ask - How memory is allocated to an object in Heap? If you came across any technical article on this topic please let me know Thanks.

AliAmjad(MCP) First make it Run THEN make it Run Fast!

I know all this but may be i am not able to ask the question properly or you are not getting my point anyway thanks a ton for your help Dave.

AliAmjad(MCP) First make it Run THEN make it Run Fast!

WHAT THE HELL ! when someone don't understand the question he/she mark it as bad question. You all guys are expert out there i am sure but i don't consider myself one that's why i was asking for help from all the experts & brilliant brains out there in order to eliminate the confusion i am facing. If by asking something that hurts your ego or that's way too below your expectation then please don't even bother to answer just IGNORE.

Ok here is what i am trying to accomplish i am working on an Application Framework and using both the composition approach and inheritance approach all i was asking the technical working of the code given what is actually happening in the memory as there is some confusion i am facing that's why asking.

AliAmjad(MCP) First make it Run THEN make it Run Fast!

I am not incapable of reading the comments because they have been written by myself. I think you didn't understand the question all i was asking the technical working what is happening in the memory when we execute the given code.
