I dropped the Robocopy.exe in the system32 folder just to have it in the path and eliminate those issues and on your advice I included the full path to the executable but it still doesn't appear to be executing?

Hi, and thanks for your interest. I am trying to run MS Robocopy from a service with the following code:

Process robo = new Process();

robo.StartInfo.FileName = "robocopy.exe";
robo.StartInfo.Arguments = "g:\\data *.pdf d:\\data\\pdf\\ /S /NP /Log+:c:\\logs\\robo\\robo.log";
robo.Start();

The service starts but the Robocopy process fails to start. Any help greatly appreciated.

I looking over what you've said and I'm trying to see if there is a way I can leverage this to a useable outcome. As I read it the NotifyFilters.Size reports a CHANGE in file size and I'm not certain how I could use this in my application. The goal is to send email alerts only when files are copied into a directory over a predertimed size limit (if that helps).

Sorry, I've got EnableRaisingEvents = true in the OnStart method for the service. I'm not certain how I would code a NotifyFilter since none of them seem to relate to file size?

I think I understand what you are saying, I am just not certain why I am getting the first email alert?

This is what I have setup: this.fileSystemWatcher1.Path = directoryPath1; this.fileSystemWatcher1.IncludeSubdirectories = true; this.fileSystemWatcher1.Filter = "*.*"; this.fileSystemWatcher1.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(fileSystemWatcher1_Created);

Hi, I am attempting to create a service to watch particular directories for excessively large files being created. I've created a Created event handler with the following code: void fileSystemWatcher1_Created(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e) { FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(e.FullPath); if (fi.Length > 524288000)// 500MB = 524288000 { smtpMessage.Body = "A file exceeding 500 MB has been created at " + e.FullPath.ToUpper(); Client.Send(smtpMessage); } } I drop files one at a time into the watched directory and I'll get an email alert for the first file but nothing for subsequent files? Any help greatly appreciated.

I've got a project in VS2003 where I've added a number of images and a video clip as an embedded resource on 'Build Action'. I can access the images easy enough by using the following code: System.Drawing.Bitmap bitmap = new System.Drawing.Bitmap(GetType(), "sampleImage.jpg"); this.pictureBox1.Image = bitmap; The problem is accessing the embedded .AVI; both the ActiveX Windows Media Player and the DirectX AudioVideoPlayback require a string pointing to a file? Accessing Video File Thru ActiveX Windows Media Player Control: private AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer axWindowsMediaPlayer1; this.axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "sampleVideo.avi"; Accessing Video File Thru DirectX 9: using Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback; Video vid = new Video("sampleVideo.avi", false); Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've go a Custom Control that inherits from the TextBox class and I've added a ListBox; I needed to create a custom event exposed to the parent form that would fire when the ListBox changed visiblity. The code below works but I know it's now quite right. Any help appreciated.

Hi, After filling a dataset I would like to further filter the results without repopulating the dataset. Any help would be appreciated. "She folds her legs...in doing so I glimpse Xanadu."--Gilby

Hi Josh, I think the Code Project site has reformatted your code or else it's identical previous suggestions.

This following builds but I see no effect in my test form: protected override void OnClick(System.EventArgs e) { base.OnClick(e); } -- modified at 16:01 Monday 14th November, 2005

using System; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Drawing; using System.Data; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace RadioButtonRocLib { public class RadioButtonRoc : System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton { private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; public RadioButtonRoc() { Code continues.........

Hi, I'm not certain how to use this in a user control? Someone suggested I use this: protected override void onclick(System.EventArgs e) { //base.onclick (e); } But it returned an error saying "no suitable method found to override". I'm trying to interrupt the event in the user control and not in the parent form.

Hi, and thanks for your interest. I tried your suggestion but when I tried to build the control I received an error 'RadioButtonRocLib.RadioButtonRoc.onclick(System.EventArgs)': no suitable method found to override".

Thanks for your reply; I'm trying to work it out in context.

Hi, I've got a custom user control using inheritance that I'm working on that I would like to cancel the 'Click' event. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've taken a different approach by building my own custom control that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.RadioButton NameSpace. I'm using GDI+ to alter the presentation of the interface based off a boolean public property I've exposed called 'ReadOnly'. I'm still trying to workout how to cancel 'Click' the click event. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for your interest. I have a data application in which some boolean choices as represented by radio button pairs and at certain points in the application I am representing the data to the user in ReadOnly TextBoxes where applicable. I would like to emulate this functionality in a representation of the RadioButton and am looking for a path of least resistance to accomplish this task. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm doing that already. Looks like sh*t.
