I have windows form app with the following part of code when the Form Loads
public MonitorMail()
{
InitializeComponent();
pathfile = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
pathfile = pathfile + #"\Log\Configuration.txt";
var Lista = LoadConfigFile.LoadConfig(pathfile);
if (Lista.Count > 0)
{
SwithMailText.Text = Lista[0];
Excel_Textbox.Text = Lista[1];
LogFileText.Text = Lista[2];
MailServerText.Text = Lista[3];
FromText.Text = Lista[4];
SslText.Text = Lista[5];
UserText.Text = Lista[6];
}
}
As you can see in this code i declare a List named as "Lista" which List takes the records of the Configuration file and fill some textboxes with the data of that Configuration file.
My problem is the following: when I run my program inside in Visual Studio, it loads the records correctly in those textboxes.
When I run my program runs outside of Visual Studio, it also loads the records correctly
BUT
When I try run my program from the command prompt (because this how it should be run) like MonitorMail.exe the program runs but does not show the data in the textboxes.
After trying to understand why is this happening I noticed that is has something to do with
pathfile = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
I concluded to that because I changed the pathfile to pathfile="complete path of the Configuration.txt" so when I hit it from cmd works as it should be.
Any idea why Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(); affects cmd? Or is something am I missing?
You wrote in the comments: "i need for every PC to get current directory that my .exe is", but that is not what Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() does...
You need
string myPath = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location;
instead. That gives you the full path including the file name. You can take the Location's Directory if that is what you need.

I have to copy a certain file to another folder, and this has to happen when I click a button.
Now I have two problems: the file is not copied correctly, and the new folder with the new file is created after one or two minutes.
When i say copied incorrectly, I mean that -0.364384 becomes -0.365163223838319.
I'm currently using this script in my button (ps I have three buttons for files named 1.json 2.json and 3.json)
private string path = "Assets\\Modelli\\Sinc ";
public void salvaEs1()
{
if (Directory.Exists(path)) { Directory.Delete(path, true); }
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
string fileToCopy = "Assets\\Modelli\\daMedico\\1.json";
string destinationDirectory = "Assets\\Modelli\\Sinc\\";
File.Copy(fileToCopy, destinationDirectory + "sinc.json");
}
Errors are about some code that I use to read the file. But the problem are the errors in the file, non the ones that come from them
So I'm having a problem with automating my code to check-in files to TFS, and it's been driving me up the wall! Here is my code:
string location = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory;
TfsTeamProjectCollection baseUserTpcConnection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(uriToTeamProjectCollection);
IIdentityManagementService ims = baseUserTpcConnection.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();
TeamFoundationIdentity identity = ims.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.AccountName, #"PROD1\JR", MembershipQuery.None, ReadIdentityOptions.None);
TfsTeamProjectCollection impersonatedTpcConnection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(uriToTeamProjectCollection, identity.Descriptor);
VersionControlServer sourceControl = impersonatedTpcConnection.GetService<VersionControlServer>();
Workspace workspace = sourceControl.CreateWorkspace("MyTempWorkspace", sourceControl.AuthorizedUser);
String topDir = null;
try
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(location + "TFS");
String localDir = location + "TFS";
workspace.Map("$/Automation/", localDir);
workspace.Get();
destinationFile = Path.Combine(localDir, Name + ".xml");
string SeconddestinationFile = Path.Combine(localDir, Name + ".ial");
bool check = sourceControl.ServerItemExists(destinationFile, ItemType.Any);
PendingChange[] pendingChanges;
File.Move(sourceFile, destinationFile);
File.Copy(destinationFile, sourceFile, true);
File.Move(SecondsourceFile, SeconddestinationFile);
File.Copy(SeconddestinationFile, SecondsourceFile, true);
if (check == false)
{
workspace.PendAdd(localDir,true);
pendingChanges = workspace.GetPendingChanges();
workspace.CheckIn(pendingChanges, Comments);
}
else
{
workspace.PendEdit(destinationFile);
pendingChanges = workspace.GetPendingChanges();
workspace.CheckIn(pendingChanges, Comments);
}
and the problem is that whenever it's NEW files (PendEdit works correctly when the files already exist in TFS) that my code is attempting to check in, and it runs through this code:
if (check == false)
{
workspace.PendAdd(localDir,true);
pendingChanges = workspace.GetPendingChanges();
workspace.CheckIn(pendingChanges, Comments);
}
The files, instead of being in the included changes in pending changes, are instead in the excluded changes like so:
and when the line that actually does the check-in runs, I'll get a "The array must contain at least one element" error, and the only way to fix it is to manually add those detected changes, and promote them to included changes, and I simply can't for the life of me figure out how to do that programatically though C#. If anyone has any guidance on what direction I should take for this, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
Edit: I've also discovered another way to solve this by reconciling the folder, which also promotes the detected changes, but again the problem is I can't seem to figure out how to program that to do it automatically.
I know that running the visual studio developer command prompt, redirecting to the folder that this mapping is in, and the running "tf reconcile /promote" is one way, but I can only automate that as far as the /promote part, because that brings up a toolbox that a user would have to input into, which defeats the purpose of the automation. I'm at a loss.

Next Edit in response to TToni:
I'm not entirely sure if I did this CreateWorkspaceParameters correctly (see picture 1), but this time it gave the same error, but the files were not even in the excluded portions. They just didn't show up anywhere in the pending changes (see picture 2).
Check this blog:
The workspace has a method GetPendingChangesWithCandidates, which actually gets all the “Excluded” changes. Code snippet is as below:
private void PendChangesAndCheckIn(string pathToWorkspace)
{
//Get Version Control Server object
VersionControlServer vs = collection.GetService(typeof
(VersionControlServer)) as VersionControlServer;
Workspace ws = vs.TryGetWorkspace(pathToWorkspace);
//Do Delete and Copy Actions to local path
//Create a item spec from the server Path
PendingChange[] candidateChanges = null;
string serverPath = ws.GetServerItemForLocalItem(pathToWorkspace);
List<ItemSpec> its = new List<ItemSpec>();
its.Add(new ItemSpec(serverPath, RecursionType.Full));
//get all candidate changes and promote them to included changes
ws.GetPendingChangesWithCandidates(its.ToArray(), true,
out candidateChanges);
foreach (var change in candidateChanges)
{
if (change.IsAdd)
{
ws.PendAdd(change.LocalItem);
}
else if (change.IsDelete)
{
ws.PendDelete(change.LocalItem);
}
}
//Check In all pending changes
ws.CheckIn(ws.GetPendingChanges(), "This is a comment");
}
I'm attempting to build a java process to execute the docusign retrieve product via the command line. I've written the process to execute based on a given property file.
buildRoot = isWindowsOs() ? "C:" + "\\Program Files (x86)\\DocuSign, Inc\\Retrieve 3.2" : "\\Program Files (x86)\\DocuSign, Inc\\Retrieve 3.2" ;
String[] command = new String [2];
command[0] = "\""+buildRoot+ "\\" + docuSignAppName+"\"";
logger.info(command[0].toString());
//ADDED FOR EXPLANATION - "C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuSign, Inc\Retrieve 3.2\DocuSignRetrieve.exe"
command[1] = arguments;
logger.info(command[1].toString());
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder(command);
logger.info("ProcessBuilder starting directory" +processBuilder.directory());
processBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);
p = processBuilder.start();
InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
stdout = new BufferedReader(isr);
Once I pass in the built out string of parameters the executed code looks like the sample provided but always results in the error back to the screen "Missing "accountid" parameter".
The parameter list looks like the following.
/endpoint "Demo"
/userid "REMOVED"
/password "REMOVED"
/accountid "REMOVED"
/span "-1"
/spanfilter "Completed"
/statusfilter "Completed"
/fieldlog "LIST OF FIELDS"
/nstyle "EnvelopeID"
/save "MergedPdfWithoutCert"
/dir "D:\DocuSignStore"
/includeheaders "true"
Any help or assistance would be appreciated.
The solution was found in a StackOverflow discussion regarding common issues with the ProcessBuilder.
My problem was that I expected by changing the putting in the full path, that I could run the executable. For the reason I'm not sure right now, that wasn't working as expected. The solution was to run the CMD command which exists on the %PATH% on any windows OS.
String[] command = new String [2];
command[0] = "\""+buildRoot+ "\\" + docuSignAppName+"\"";
logger.info(command[0].toString());
//ADDED FOR EXPLANATION - "C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuSign, Inc\Retrieve 3.2\DocuSignRetrieve.exe"
command[1] = arguments;
logger.info(command[1].toString());
//This starts a new command prompt
ProcessBuilder processBuilder = new ProcessBuilder("cmd","/c","DocusignRetreive.exe);
//This sets the directory to run the command prompt from
File newLoc = new File("C:/Program Files (x86)/DocuSign, Inc/Retrieve 3.2");
processBuilder.directory(newLoc);
logger.info("ProcessBuilder starting directory" +processBuilder.directory());
processBuilder.redirectErrorStream(true);
/*When the process builder starts the prompt looks like
*C:\Program Files (x86)\DocuSign, Inc\Retrieve 3.2
*Now DocusignRetrieve.exe is an executable in the directory to be run
*/
p = processBuilder.start();
I've problems with an image, I've create a background for my application called gridBg.png and I've read it in this way:
string currentDir = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
if (File.Exists((currentDir + #"/Images/gridBg.png")))
{
bgAnimated.StopAnimation();
bgAnimated.GifSource = currentDir + #"/Images/gridBg.png";
bgAnimated.NormalLoopFrameCount = 20;
bgAnimated.SpecialLoopFrameCount = 20;
bgAnimated.TotalLoopFrameCount = 40;
bgAnimated.NormalLoopRepeatCount = 1;
bgAnimated.SpecialLoopRepeatCount = 1;
bgAnimated.StartAnimation();
}
On debug mode it works all properly. I've add the image on the setup project and I've given to it Images path. When I install and try the application it works properly too but the problem is that some of my friends does not see the image but the image is on the right place, the Images folder. Anyone has suggests?
SOLVED: string currentDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);
The only way I can even think this could happen is the Working Directory for your friends isn't set to the install directory. This would cause the currentDir to be wrong.
Per the MSDN documentation, GetCurrentDirectory does this:
Gets the current working directory of the application
I believe I have been taking the right approach to this so far, but I would like to have a button start a video game on my computer.
So far, I have a button linking to a process:
void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
process1.Start();
}
this.process1.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
this.process1.StartInfo.Domain = "";
this.process1.StartInfo.FileName = "MBO\\marbleblast.exe";
this.process1.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = false;
this.process1.StartInfo.Password = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.StandardErrorEncoding = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.UserName = "";
this.process1.SynchronizingObject = this;
this.process1.Exited += new System.EventHandler(this.Process1Exited);
So, where-ever I place the EXE (the one I'm coding), it will launch the "marbleblast.exe" under the subfolder MBO relative to it's location.
It seems to be working and trying to launch the game, however, it says it cannot load files that are there. I tested the game without my launcher, and it worked. I believe it's trying to run the EXE, but not letting it use the other files inside of it's folder.
I'll give more details if needed.
How can I get the game to run normally?
try adding this
this.process1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory= "MBO\\";
or something similar to set the Working Directory.
this.process1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory= "MBO\";
There's sloppy programming in the game, it relies on the Environment.CurrentDirectory being set right. Which by default is the same directory as where the EXE is located. The upvoted answer repeats the mistake though. To make that statement actually fix the problem, you now rely on your CurrentDirectory being set right. If it is not set where you think it is then it still won't work.
The problem with the program's current directory is that it can be changed by software that you don't control. The classic example is OpenFileDialog with the RestoreDirectory property set to the default value of false. Etcetera.
Always program defensively and pass the full path name of files and directories. Like c:\mumble\foo.ext. To get that going, start with Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location, that's the path to your EXE. Then use the System.IO.Path class to generate path names from that. The correct always-works code is:
using System.IO;
using System.Reflection;
...
string myDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);
string gameDir = Path.Combine(myDir, "MBO");
string gameExe = Path.Combine(gameDir, "marbleblast.exe");
process1.StartInfo.FileName = gameExe;
process1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = gameDir;
process1.SynchronizingObject = this;
process1.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
process1.Exited += new EventHandler(Process1Exited);
Set the WorkingDirectory property of the ProcessInfo to the correct directory.
I am Dobrakmato from MBForums. You simple need to add Working directory for Marble Blast.
this.process1.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
this.process1.StartInfo.Domain = "";
this.process1.StartInfo.FileName = "MBO\\marbleblast.exe";
this.process1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "pathto marbleblast.exe directory";
this.process1.StartInfo.LoadUserProfile = false;
this.process1.StartInfo.Password = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.StandardErrorEncoding = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.StandardOutputEncoding = null;
this.process1.StartInfo.UserName = "";
this.process1.SynchronizingObject = this;
this.process1.Exited += new System.EventHandler(this.Process1Exited);
