• Visual Basic User session logon time!

  I am inquiring about information on whether it is possible to determine how long a user has been logged on for. What I hope to accomplish is to determine if a user has been logged on for more than an 24 hours and if so, display a splash screen of some type to tell them to log off. I don't want to log them off, politics involved. Every where I look I haven't been able to come up with a solution. I did find a sample script to check event logs, but how do you calculate the time the event was written and the actual time to determine if it is more than 24 hrs. Can anyone offer any help. You might be able ...Show All

• .NET Development how to concatenate data from two Byte arrays into one Byte array?

  Hello!   Does the .NET framework provide an easy way of merging two  Byte arrays into one boc First a low level one: byte [] one = { 1, 2, 3 }; byte [] two = { 6, 8, 9 }; int length = one.Length + two.Length; byte [] sum = new byte [length]; one.CopyTo(sum,0); two.CopyTo(sum,one.Length); Then a bit better, use the generics List<T> collection byte [] one = { 1, 2, 3 }; byte [] two = { 6, 8, 9 }; List < byte > list1 = new List < byte >(one); List < byte > list2 = new List < byte >(two); list1.AddRange(list2); ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing HTML with no UI context

  I'm trying to retreive and parse an HTML document from a website. I've succesfuly done so in a WinForms app using the web browser control. The problem is that I'd really like to create command line utility which just dumps the results to a file with no UI (and at some point migrate it to a service) - something akin to the "curl" linux utility. The issue is that webbrowser seems to insist on a UI context being present. Anyone know of a way to create a MSHTML parser from C# which would work with no UI context To answer the download to a file question, see System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlNode in Generated Typed Class

  I generated a C# (or VB.NET) class using an XSD file supplied from a Java-based web service.  The schema includes a "body" element that can itself be more in-line XML as defined in a second XSD file (or in others).  The generated class declares this body element as an XmlNode rather than an object.  Why isn't the body element declared as an object like the other XML elements   Do I have to serialize the object based on the second schema and then deserialize it into an XMLDocument or XmlFragment to get it into this XmlNode    I've seen examples on similar manipulations on XmlDocument types, but I'd pre ...Show All
