An alternative theory is that it should be Func<bool,t>, not Func<t,>. That is, it returns T, which might work for such comparisons at runtime.

Only some of course, so that still wouldn't explain it :~ Still lost on this one. What I've done for now is ditch the method you see here all togeher and the "Compare" enum associated with it, and have replaced it with code that makes sense (well, to a C# guy) and compiles. I'd still love to find out whether the above example is just me missing the point on the conversion to c#, or whether it's an anomoly that allows really, really shaky VB code to compile.

I wanted to use "late binding" for the "order by" clause

If the list is going to be data-bound in a WinForms UI, another option would be a SortableBindingList like the one illustrated here[^] - this has the added benefit of automatically giving the end-user re-sort capabilities at runtime without you touching a further line of code..

Group By and Order By[^]

This statement combined with your code sample makes no sense I'm afraid.. In order to perform the update your code would have to know both the old and the new the company name to begin with, thus nothing new to discover. Try re-phrasing your question so we can understand :wtf:

This compiles in VB.Net:

Protected Shared Function CombineFunc(Of T)(ByVal d1 As Func(Of T, Boolean), _
ByVal condType As Compare, _
ByVal d2 As Func(Of T, Boolean)) As Func(Of T, Boolean)

        'Return a delegate which combines delegates d1 and d2
        Select Case condType
            Case Compare.Or : Return Function(x) d1(x) Or d2(x)
            Case Compare.And : Return Function(x) d1(x) And d2(x)
            Case Compare.Xor : Return Function(x) d1(x) Xor d2(x)
            Case Compare.Equal : Return Function(x) d1(x) = d2(x)
            Case Compare.OrElse : Return Function(x) d1(x) OrElse d2(x)
            Case Compare.AndAlso : Return Function(x) d1(x) AndAlso d2(x)
            Case Compare.NotEqual : Return Function(x) d1(x) <> d2(x)
            Case Compare.LessThan : Return Function(x) d1(x) < d2(x)
            Case Compare.GreaterThan : Return Function(x) d1(x) > d2(x)
            Case Compare.LessThanOrEqual : Return Function(x) d1(x) <= d2(x)
            Case Compare.GreaterThanOrEqual : Return Function(x) d1(x) >= d2(x)
            Case Else
                Throw New ArgumentException("Not a valid Condition Type", "condType")
        End Select
    End Function

But my conversion to C# does not:

protected static Func<T, bool> CombineFunc<T>(Func<T, bool> d1, Compare condType, Func<T, bool> d2)
{
//Return a delegate which combines delegates d1 and d2
switch (condType)
{

                case Compare.Or:
                    return (x) => d1(x) | d2(x);
                case Compare.And:
                    return (x) => d1(x) & d2(x);
                case Compare.Xor:
                    return (x) => d1(x) ^ d2(x);
                case Compare.Equal:
                    return (x) => d1(x) == d2(x);
                case Compare.OrElse:
                    return (x) => d1(x) || d2(x);
                case Compare.AndAlso:
                    return (x) => d1(x) && d2(x);
                case Compare.NotEqual:
                    return (x) => d1(x) != d2(x);
                case Compare.LessThan:
                    return (x) => d1(x) < d

Sure. First thing you'll need as PDF Library - a Google search should head you in the direction of the many commercial PDF libraries available for .Net. Second thing you'll need is some kind of parser. What's required there really depends on the PDF library you end up settling on. Some will have richer support for parsing out the data contained, and some won't, so bear this in mind when evaluating your options.

Is it possible to extract the text from pdf files

Yes.

It sounds like you need to be looking at the "In-reply-to" header of incoming messages, and comparing that to the "Message-id" of your outgoing mail. By matching the two and defining a time threshold between send and receive you should be able to detect auto-responders with reasonable accuracy. It would fair to assume that anything that arrives back within 10-15 minutes of sending would be an auto-responder - well, either that or someone who's way too stressed out, or hopped up on stims ;) The only real foreseeable problem is going to be receiving mail servers that delay incoming messages for n minutes/hours (an anti-spamming technique) - if delayed enough it's going to be difficult to ascertain if it's an auto-response or a human response in code.. Google around for "email message headers" for a grounding.

Google MSMQ - there's a ton of resources out there, here's some links to some CP articles: CP MSMQ Search[^]

I've been experimenting with various implementations of two-way communications using WCF over MSMQ, and without ever thinking it would work, tried the following:

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;

namespace MessagingSample
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface ISampleContract
{
[OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)]
void StartDoingSomething(string someText, SampleClient client);
}

\[ServiceBehavior\]
public class SampleClient
{
    private ISampleContract workerService;

    public void StartClient(string server)
    {
        // Init the service instance
        EndpointAddress endpointAddress = new EndpointAddress(
            new Uri(string.Format(@"net.msmq://{0}/private/SampleQueue", server)));

        NetMsmqBinding clientBinding = new NetMsmqBinding();
        clientBinding.Security.Transport.MsmqAuthenticationMode = MsmqAuthenticationMode.None;
        clientBinding.Security.Transport.MsmqProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.None;

        ChannelFactory<ISampleContract> channelFactory =
            new ChannelFactory<ISampleContract>(clientBinding, endpointAddress);
        workerService = channelFactory.CreateChannel();

    }

    public void StopClient()
    {
        if (workerService != null)
        {
            workerService = null;
        }
    }

    public void StartDoingSomething(string text)
    {
        if (workerService != null)
        {
            workerService.StartDoingSomething(text, this);
        }
    }

    public void DoSomethingElse(string text)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(text);
    }
}


\[ServiceBehavior\]
public class SampleServer : ISampleContract
{
    private ServiceHost serviceHost = null;

    public void StartServer(string server)
    {
        Uri serviceUri = new Uri(string.Format(@"net.msmq://{0}/private/SampleQueue", server));

        NetMsmqBinding serviceBinding = new NetMsmqBinding();
        serviceBinding.Security.Transport.MsmqAuthenticationMode = MsmqAuthenticationMode.None;
        serviceBinding.Security.Transport.MsmqProtectionLevel = System.Net.Security.ProtectionLevel.None;
        serviceBinding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 1024 \* 4096;
        serviceBinding.ReaderQuotas.MaxArrayLength = 1024 \* 4096;

I cna't comment on the technicalities of why it might be failing, but I can suggest a workaround: TeraCopy[^] A gem of a utility IMHO

Well, it's not just us.. I got a skype call from an old sysad friend of mine who's got the exact same problem happening on 3 different continents since the last Server 2K3R2 update. In his case, installing and re-installing the .net runtimes fixed the issues he had, but this unfortunately doesn't work for us. He is running asp.net code on netfx v1.1, v2.0, v3.0 and v3.5, whereas *all* of our code is compiled against netfx v3.5 (i.e. 2.0 + extensions), so not the same config. However, we are now able to restore working service without rebooting by using NET STOP IISADMIN /Y followed by NET START W3SVC to force IIS to start over. I feel like I've just been time-warped 10 years into the past to the days of classic ASP and COM, *ugh* This still means the every website, web service and the ftp service have to be killed any time we want to make even the most *minor* change to any of our hosted apps (which is crap), but at least we're not going down for 2-3 minutes, and DNS and mail can continue to function throughout it all. Not a resolution, but at least a sloightly better work-around for us.

I woke up this morning to a freshly rebooted server thanks to an MS update, and all of the sudden xcopy deploying updates to any asp.net application (website or web service) results in *every* asp.net web application reporting a compile error. I tried editing the web.config (i.e. insert or delete some whitespace) in order to get asp.net to recompile/recache, but that only works 1/10 times. Deleting the entire asp.net cache doesn't even work. The only workaround I've found so far is a complete server reboot, which is, well, crap. Anyone else experiencing this, or is it just our server that's gone all whacky today?

Office 2007 is available on MSDN downloads now - anyone know when it went gold?

Well, I googled:
