how to get result with cursor and paging using ZSCAN command with stackexchange.redis library?

I am using stackexchange.redis.
in that zscan is giving all matched value
I want to get exactly given page size result and next cursor for remaining values.
I have debugged its source code library in that i found that they are
scanning entire source value until cursor became zero and provides all
matched values.
so could we can get result as per cursor same as redis command Zscan.
here is my code snap
using (ConnectionMultiplexer conn = ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(conf))
{
var dbs = conn.GetDatabase();
int currentpage = 0,pagesize=20;
var scanresult = dbs.SortedSetScan("key", "an*", pagesize, 0, 0, CommandFlags.None);
}
here I am getting all values of matching criteria instead of page size and next cursor.
so help out if any one has done it before

This is because of stack stackexchange.redis library code. its scanning as per enumerable method. so its not working same as redis command line.
To solve this issue we have used another redis client library called csredis
using (var redis = new RedisClient("yourhost"))
{
string ping = redis.Ping();
var scanresult=redis.ZScan(key, cursor, pattern, pagesize);
}
As shown in above code we will get all dadta into "scanresult".

Why is wrapping inconsistent in C# Excel Interop?

Using this code:
var avgOrderAmountHeaderCell = (Range)_xlSheetDelPerf.Cells[DEL_PERF_COLUMN_HEADER_ROW, AVG_ORDER_AMOUNT_COLUMN];
avgOrderAmountHeaderCell.Value2 = String.Format("Avg Order{0}Amount", Environment.NewLine);
avgOrderAmountHeaderCell.WrapText = true;
var avgPackageCountHeaderCell = (Range)_xlSheetDelPerf.Cells[DEL_PERF_COLUMN_HEADER_ROW, AVG_PACKAGE_AMOUNT_COLUMN];
avgPackageCountHeaderCell.Value2 = String.Format("Avg Package{0}Count", Environment.NewLine);
avgPackageCountHeaderCell.WrapText = true;
...I get this result (column header on left looks fine, while the one on the right has an "empty line" between the second and third wrapped line):
Why is this seemingly arbitrary inconsistent implementation of text wrapping taking place, and more importantly, how can I force no "blank lines" to appear between one line of text and another?

Setting up 3DCart API with a C# App

I have been trying to create an application to go through our database at a set interval and update/add any new items to 3DCarts database. Their code example uses soap in an xml file to send 1 request per call. So I need to to be able to generate the xml I need with the items information on the fly before sending it. I have done hardly anything with XML files like this and cannot figure out how to create the chunk of code I need and send it. One method that has been suggested is create a file but still executing has been a problem and would be very inefficient for a large number of items. Here is what I have so far
sqlStatement = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE name = '" + Convert.ToString(reader.GetValue(0)) + "'";
ServiceReferenceCart.cartAPIAdvancedSoapClient bcsClient = new ServiceReferenceCart.cartAPIAdvancedSoapClient();
ServiceReferenceCart.runQueryResponse bcsResponse = new ServiceReferenceCart.runQueryResponse();
bcsClient.runQuery(storeUrl, userKey, sqlStatement, callBackURL);
string result = Convert.ToString(bcsResponse);
listBox1.Items.Add(result);
EDIT: Changed from sample code block to current code block as I got a service reference setup finally. They provide no details though for using the functions in the reference. With this bcsResponse is just a blank, when I try adding .Body I have the same result but when I add .runQuery to the .Body I get a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error. As I have said I have not messed with service references before.
I hope I have explained well enough I just really have not worked with this kind of stuff before and it has become extremely frustrating.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I actually ended up figuring this out after playing around with it. Here is what I did to get the reference to work. This may have been easy for anyone who have used the references before but I have not and have decided to post this in case anyone else has this problem. The SQL can be SELECT, ADD, UPDATE and DELETE statements this was to see if the sku was listed before updating/adding.
//Will be using these multiple times so a variable makes more sense
// DO NOT include http:// in the url, also id is not shown in their
//database layout pdf they will give but it is the sku/product number
string sqlStatement = "SELECT id FROM products WHERE id = '" + Convert.ToString(reader.GetValue(0)) + "')))";
string userKey = "YourKeyHere";
string storeUrl = "YourStoresURLHere";
// Setting up instances from the 3DCart API
cartAPIAdvancedSoapClient bcsClient = new cartAPIAdvancedSoapClient();
runQueryRequest bcsRequest = new runQueryRequest();
runQueryResponse bcsResponse = new runQueryResponse();
runQueryResponseBody bcsRespBod = new runQueryResponseBody();
runQueryRequestBody bcsReqBod = new runQueryRequestBody();
//assigning required variables to the requests body
bcsReqBod.storeUrl = storeUrl;
bcsReqBod.sqlStatement = sqlStatement;
bcsReqBod.userKey = userKey;
//assigning the body to the request
bcsRequest.Body = bcsReqBod;
//Setting the response body to be the result
bcsRespBod.runQueryResult = bcsClient.runQuery(bcsReqBod.storeUrl, bcsReqBod.userKey, bcsReqBod.sqlStatement, bcsReqBod.callBackURL );
bcsResponse.Body = bcsRespBod;
//adding the result to a string
string result = bcsResponse.Body.runQueryResult.Value;
//displaying the string, this for me was more of a test
listBox1.Items.Add(result);
You will also need to activate the Advanced API on your shop as you may notice there is no actual option as the pdf's say, you need to go to their store and purchase(its free) and wait for them to activate it. This took about 2 hrs for us.

NHIbernate & Rhino-Security does not save unless I call session.Flush()

I am having an issue using nHibernate and Rhino.Security. After struggling for hours to get the right config setup, I finally got the code to run without any errors. However, no entries are being saved to the database unless I call session.Flush().
Looking at various examples on the net; I should not have to call flush.
Here’s my config code:
var cfg = new Configuration()
.SetProperty(Environment.ConnectionDriver, typeof(SqlClientDriver).AssemblyQualifiedName)
.SetProperty(Environment.Dialect, typeof(MsSql2008Dialect).AssemblyQualifiedName)
.SetProperty(Environment.ConnectionString, "………")
.SetProperty(Environment.ProxyFactoryFactoryClass, typeof(ProxyFactoryFactory).AssemblyQualifiedName)
.SetProperty(Environment.ReleaseConnections, "on_close")
.SetProperty(Environment.UseSecondLevelCache, "true")
.SetProperty(Environment.UseQueryCache, "true")
.SetProperty(Environment.CacheProvider, typeof(HashtableCacheProvider).AssemblyQualifiedName)
.AddAssembly("GA.CAP.Website")
;
Security.Configure<AspNetUser>(cfg, SecurityTableStructure.Prefix);
var factory = cfg.BuildSessionFactory();
var session = factory.OpenSession();
var authorizationRepository = new AuthorizationRepository(session);
IoC.Container.RegisterInstance<IAuthorizationRepository>(authorizationRepository);
var permissionBuilderService = new PermissionsBuilderService(session, authorizationRepository);
IoC.Container.RegisterInstance<IPermissionsBuilderService>(permissionBuilderService);
var permissionService = new PermissionsService(authorizationRepository, session);
IoC.Container.RegisterInstance<IPermissionsService>(permissionService);
var authService = new AuthorizationService(permissionService, authorizationRepository);
IoC.Container.RegisterInstance<IAuthorizationService>(authService);
Test code:
authorizationRepository.CreateUsersGroup("GAAdmins");
var group = authorizationRepository.GetUsersGroupByName("GAAdmins");
The GetUsersGroupByName call returns null. If I add a session.Flush call in between the two calls, it works fine and returns the group.
Based on examples in various blogs, such as this one, I should not have to call flush. In addition, the test cases included with the Rhino.Security code do not do any flushing as shown here:
This is straight out of Rhino.Security's test case fixture:
// on first deploy
Operation operation = authorizationRepository.CreateOperation("/Account/View");
// when creating account
UsersGroup group = authorizationRepository.CreateUsersGroup("Belongs to " + account.Name);
// setting permission so only associated users can view
permissionsBuilderService
.Allow(operation)
.For(group)
.On(account)
.DefaultLevel()
.Save();
// when adding user to account
authorizationRepository.AssociateUserWith(user, group);
bool allowed = authorizationService.IsAllowed(user, account, "/Account/View");
Assert.True(allowed);
Is there some setting I am missing somewhere?
Thanks,
Rick

That is expected, RS uses the same session as your code, and calling Flush internally may result in unintended consequences.
Commit your transaction or call Flush

Insert OpenXmlElement after word bookmark in Open XML SDK

I was able to access a bookmark in my word document using this code:
var res = from bm in mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<BookmarkStart>()
where bm.Name == "BookmarkName"
select bm;
Now I want to insert a paragraph and a table after this bookmark. How do I do that? (example code would be appreciated)

Code
Once you have the bookmark you can access its parent element and add the other items after it.
using (WordprocessingDocument document = WordprocessingDocument.Open(#"C:\Path\filename.docx", true))
{
var mainPart = document.MainDocumentPart;
var res = from bm in mainPart.Document.Body.Descendants<BookmarkStart>()
where bm.Name == "BookmarkName"
select bm;
var bookmark = res.SingleOrDefault();
if (bookmark != null)
{
var parent = bookmark.Parent; // bookmark's parent element
// simple paragraph in one declaration
//Paragraph newParagraph = new Paragraph(new Run(new Text("Hello, World!")));
// build paragraph piece by piece
Text text = new Text("Hello, World!");
Run run = new Run(new RunProperties(new Bold()));
run.Append(text);
Paragraph newParagraph = new Paragraph(run);
// insert after bookmark parent
parent.InsertAfterSelf(newParagraph);
var table = new Table(
new TableProperties(
new TableStyle() { Val = "TableGrid" },
new TableWidth() { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Auto }
),
new TableGrid(
new GridColumn() { Width = (UInt32Value)1018U },
new GridColumn() { Width = (UInt32Value)3544U }),
new TableRow(
new TableCell(
new TableCellProperties(
new TableCellWidth() { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Auto }),
new Paragraph(
new Run(
new Text("Category Name"))
)),
new TableCell(
new TableCellProperties(
new TableCellWidth() { Width = 4788, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Dxa }),
new Paragraph(
new Run(
new Text("Value"))
))
),
new TableRow(
new TableCell(
new TableCellProperties(
new TableCellWidth() { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Auto }),
new Paragraph(
new Run(
new Text("C1"))
)),
new TableCell(
new TableCellProperties(
new TableCellWidth() { Width = 0, Type = TableWidthUnitValues.Auto }),
new Paragraph(
new Run(
new Text("V1"))
))
));
// insert after new paragraph
newParagraph.InsertAfterSelf(table);
}
// close saves all parts and closes the document
document.Close();
}
The above code should do it. However, I'll explain some special circumstances.
Be aware that it will attempt the insertions after the parent element of the bookmark. What behavior do you expect if your bookmark happens to be part of a paragraph inside a table? Should it append the new paragraph and table right after it, within that table? Or should it do it after that table?
You might be wondering why the above questions matter. It all depends on where the insertion will occur. If the bookmark's parent is in a table, currently the above code would attempt to place a table within a table. That's fine, however an error might occur due to an invalid OpenXml structure. The reason is that if the inserted table was the last element in the original table's TableCell, there needs to be a Paragraph element added after the closing TableCell tag. You would promptly discover this issue if it occurred once you attempted to open the document in MS Word.
The solution is to determine whether you are indeed performing the insertion within a table.
To do so, we can add to the above code (after the parent var):
var parent = bookmark.Parent; // bookmark's parent element
// loop till we get the containing element in case bookmark is inside a table etc.
// keep checking the element's parent and update it till we reach the Body
var tempParent = bookmark.Parent;
bool isInTable = false;
while (tempParent.Parent != mainPart.Document.Body)
{
tempParent = tempParent.Parent;
if (tempParent is Table && !isInTable)
isInTable = true;
}
// ...
newParagraph.InsertAfterSelf(table); // from above sample
// if bookmark is in a table, add a paragraph after table
if (isInTable)
table.InsertAfterSelf(new Paragraph());
That should prevent the error from occurring and give you valid OpenXml. The while loop idea can be used if you answered "yes" to my earlier question and wanted to perform the insertion after the parent table rather than inside the table as the above code would do. If that's the case, the above issue would no longer be a concern and you can replace that loop and boolean with the following:
var parent = bookmark.Parent; // bookmark's parent element
while (parent.Parent != mainPart.Document.Body)
{
parent = parent.Parent;
}
This keeps re-assigning the parent till it's the main containing element at the Body level. So if the bookmark was in a paragraph that was in a table, it would go from Paragraph to TableCell to TableRow to Table and stop there since the Table's parent is the Body. At that point parent = Table element and we can insert after it.
That should cover some different approaches, depending on your original intent. Let me know if you need any clarification after trying it out.
Document Reflector
You might be wondering how I determined the GridColumn.Width values. I made a table and used the Document Reflector tool to get it. When you installed the Open Xml SDK, the productivity tools (if you installed them) would be located in C:\Program Files\Open XML Format SDK\V2.0\tools (or similar).
The best way to learn how the *.docx format works (or any Open Xml formatted doc) is to open an existing file with the Document Reflector tool. Navigate the document part, and locate the items you want to replicate. The tool shows you the actual code used to generate the entire document. This is code you can copy/paste into your application to generate similar results. You can ignore all the reference IDs usually; you'll have to take a look and try it out to get a feel for it.
As I mentioned, the above Table code was adapted from a sample document. I added a simple table to a docx, then opened it in the tool, and copied the code generated by the tool (I removed some extras to clean it up). That gave me a working sample to add a table.
It is especially helpful when you want to know how to write code that generates something, such as formatted tables and paragraphs with styles etc.
Take a look at this link for screenshots and info on the other tools included in the SDK: An introduction to Open XML SDK 2.0.
Code Snippets
You might also be interested in the code snippets for Open Xml. For a list of snippets check this blog post. You can download them from here: 2007 Office System Sample: Open XML Format SDK 2.0 Code Snippets for Visual Studio 2008.
Once installed you would add them from Tools | Code Snippet Manager menu. Select C# for the language, click the Add button, and navigate to PersonalFolder\Visual Studio 2008\Code Snippets\Visual C#\Open XML SDK 2.0 for Microsoft Office to add them. From your code you would right-click and select "Insert Snippet" and select the one you want.
