We Keep Coding

I use ManagementClass to run a Process, but I want that process to run in Background instead of UI console

I'm using Mangement class to create a process, but That starts a UI console - I want to console to run in background.
public uint LaunchProcess(string sIPAddress, string sPort)
{
uint iPid = 0;
try
{
logger.AddLog("LaunchProcess : " + sIPAddress + " " + sPort);
object[] PlugInRunnerInfo = { StaticUtils.GetLocation(AgilentPluginCommonConstants.PlugInRunnerPath) + "\\" + "PlugInRunner.exe" + " " + sIPAddress + " " + sPort, null, null, 0 };
//ManagementClass is a part of Windows Management Intrumentation,namespaces. One of its use is to provides access to manage applications.
//Here this class is used to launch PlugInRunner as detached process.By setting the ManagementClass object's property 'CreateFlags' to value 0x00000008
//we can start the PlugInRunner as detached one.
using (var mgmtObject = new ManagementClass("Win32_Process"))
{
var processStartupInfo = new ManagementClass("Win32_ProcessStartup",null);
processStartupInfo.Properties["CreateFlags"].Value = 0x00000008;//DETACHED_PROCESS.
var result = mgmtObject.InvokeMethod("Create", PlugInRunnerInfo);
if (result != null)
{
logger.AddLog("Process id " + Convert.ToUInt32(PlugInRunnerInfo[3]));
iPid = Convert.ToUInt32(PlugInRunnerInfo[3]);
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
logger.AddLog("Exception " + ex.Message);
}
return iPid;
}
The above code what I have got. Please help me.

Value assigned more than once in single assignment

I made script task that's downloading and saving on disk two spreadsheets from Google Drive using file ID and prepared URL address.
This is main() from my C# code, there are no things outside of it:
public void Main()
{
string m_FileId = Dts.Variables["User::varFileId"].Value.ToString();
string m_RemoteUrl = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + m_FileId + "/export?format=xlsx";
string m_FilePath = null;
WebClient client = new WebClient();
try
{
m_FilePath = Dts.Variables["User::varFilePath"].Value.ToString() + Dts.Variables["User::varFileName"].Value.ToString();
client.DownloadFile(new System.Uri(m_RemoteUrl), m_FilePath);
m_FilePath = "";
m_FileId = Dts.Variables["User::varFileId2"].Value.ToString();
m_RemoteUrl = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + m_FileId + "/export?format=xlsx";
m_FilePath = Dts.Variables["User::varFilePath"].Value.ToString() + Dts.Variables["User::varFileName2"].Value.ToString();
client.DownloadFile(new System.Uri(m_RemoteUrl), m_FilePath);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Dts.Events.FireError(0, "FileDownload", e.Message
+ "\r" + e.StackTrace
+ " \rUrl: " + m_RemoteUrl
+ " \rFilePath: " + m_FilePath
+ " \rPath: " + Dts.Variables["User::varFilePath"].Value.ToString()
+ " \rFileName2: " + Dts.Variables["User::varFileName2"].Value.ToString()
, string.Empty, 0);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Failure;
}
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;
}
Problem occurs exactly on every second time I run this code and I don't know how to get rid of it. There's just exception in my script task. I'm printing all variables that are used in this code, and as you can see there's something wrong with m_FilePath, it's like multiplied despite of being printed just once.
[FileDownload] Error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.

SSIS variables that I'm using are ReadOnly, and are used only in this script task(I tried running only this part of control flow), and their values are as follows:

Stop CodeDom generated executables being detected as a virus

So when i generate a C# program using CodeDom and scan it online it comes up as being a virus. How do I stop this?
This is the code i am using to generate it:
string Output = "Out.exe";
string[] fileArray = { "source.cs", "AssemblyInfo.cs" };
CodeDomProvider codeProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");
CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
CompilerResults results = codeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromFile(parameters, fileArray);
if (results.Errors.Count > 0)
{
foreach (CompilerError CompErr in results.Errors)
{
MessageBox.Show(
"Line number " + CompErr.Line +
", Error Number: " + CompErr.ErrorNumber +
", '" + CompErr.ErrorText + ";" +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine);
}
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Success!");
}
This is the code i'm using for the generated exe
using System;
using System.Text;
namespace Out
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Text.StringBuilder sbMessage = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
Console.WriteLine(sbMessage.Append("the result of adding (1+2) is " + (1 + 2).ToString()));
System.Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
So when I scan the generated file, its getting detected as a virus as showen in the VirusTotal link https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/d19cb8ad9c9de9da50a29acab91b53d10327b3023aa1a32c367d17c0c50fd28c/analysis/1434772258/

how to serialize/deserialize an assembly object to and from a byte array

Let's say a create an (executable) assembly in memory by
compiling a code string. Then I want to serialize this assembly
object into a byte array and then store it in a database. Then later
on I want to retrieve the byte array from the database and deserialize
the byte array back into an assembly object, then invoke the entry
point of the assembly.
At first I just tried to do this serialization like I would any other simple object in .net, however apparently that won't work with an assembly object. The assembly object contains a method called GetObjectData which gets serialization data necessary to reinstantiate the assembly. So I'm somewhat confused as to how I piece all this together for my scenario.
The answer only needs to show how to take an assembly object, convert it into a byte array, convert that back into an assembly, then execute the entry method on the deserialized assembly.

A dirty trick to get the assembly bytes using reflection:
MethodInfo methodGetRawBytes = assembly.GetType().GetMethod("GetRawBytes", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
object o = methodGetRawBytes.Invoke(assembly, null);
byte[] assemblyBytes = (byte[])o;
Explanation: at least in my sample (assembly was loaded from byte array) the assembly instance was of type "System.Reflection.RuntimeAssembly". This is an internal class, so it can be accessed only using reflection. "RuntimeAssembly" has a method "GetRawBytes", which return the assembly bytes.

An assembly is more conveniently represented simply as a binary dll file. If you think of it like that, the rest of the problems evaporate. In particlar, look at Assembly.Load(byte[]) for loading an Assembly from binary. To write it as binary, use CompileAssemblyFromSource and look at the result's PathToAssembly - then File.ReadAllBytes(path) to obtain the binary from the file.

System.Reflection.Assembly is ISerializable and can simply be serialized like so:
Assembly asm = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
BinaryFormatter formatter = new BinaryFormatter();
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream();
formatter.Serialize(stream, asm);
and deserialization is just as simple but call BinaryFormatter.Deserialize instead.

Here is my example:
public static byte[] SerializeAssembly()
{
var compilerOptions = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "CompilerVersion", "v4.0" } };
CSharpCodeProvider provider = new CSharpCodeProvider(compilerOptions);
CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters()
{
GenerateExecutable = false,
GenerateInMemory = false,
OutputAssembly = "Examples.dll",
IncludeDebugInformation = false,
};
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll");
ICodeCompiler compiler = provider.CreateCompiler();
CompilerResults results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, StringClassFile());
return File.ReadAllBytes(results.CompiledAssembly.Location);
}
private static Assembly DeserializeAssembyl(object fromDataReader)
{
byte[] arr = (byte[])fromDataReader;
return Assembly.Load(arr);
}
private string StringClassFile()
{
return "using System;" +
"using System.IO;" +
"using System.Threading;" +
"namespace Examples" +
"{" +
" public class FileCreator" +
" {" +
" private string FolderPath { get; set; }" +
" public FileCreator(string folderPath)" +
" {" +
" this.FolderPath = folderPath;" +
" }" +
" public void CreateFile(Guid name)" +
" {" +
" string fileName = string.Format(\"{0}.txt\", name.ToString());" +
" string path = Path.Combine(this.FolderPath, fileName);" +
" if (!File.Exists(path))" +
" {" +
" using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(path))" +
" {" +
" sw.WriteLine(\"file: {0}\", fileName);" +
" sw.WriteLine(\"Created from thread id: {0}\", Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId);" +
" }" +
" }" +
" else" +
" {" +
" throw new Exception(string.Format(\"duplicated file found {0}\", fileName));" +
" }" +
" }" +
" }" +
"}";
}

Constant error in compiler using C#'s provided objects

I have used the built in C# methods to write a compiler, like the following:
CodeDomProvider codeProvider = CodeDomProvider.CreateProvider("CSharp");
string Output = "Out.exe";
Button ButtonObject = (Button)sender;
this.RadTextBox1.Text = string.Empty;
System.CodeDom.Compiler.CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();
//Make sure we generate an EXE, not a DLL
parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
CompilerResults results = codeProvider.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, RadTextBox1.Text);
if (results.Errors.Count > 0)
{
RadTextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Red;
foreach (CompilerError CompErr in results.Errors)
{
RadTextBox2.Text = RadTextBox2.Text +
"Line number " + CompErr.Line +
", Error Number: " + CompErr.ErrorNumber +
", '" + CompErr.ErrorText + ";" +
Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine;
}
}
else
{
//Successful Compile
RadTextBox2.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
Guid guid = Guid.NewGuid();
string PathToExe = Server.MapPath(Path.Combine(#"\Compiled" , Output));
FileStream fs = System.IO.File.Create(PathToExe);
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
sw.Write(RadTextBox1.Text);
}
Response.WriteFile(PathToExe);
When I run this code and write a Main method (such as the code sample in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228506(VS.80).aspx, I get this error:
Line number 0, Error Number: CS5001, 'Program 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Out.exe' does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point;
The code above is used as the basis of a compiler on my site (not yet live). So you type in code and generate an .exe assembly. But when I enter code into the textbox for code writing (Radtextbox1), even with a main method, I get the error.
What gives?
Thanks

The entry point function is special: you can't just add a method called "main" to the assembly. Instead you must add an instance of the CodeEntryPointMethod type to one of your classes.
See http://blogs.msdn.com/bclteam/archive/2005/10/01/475768.aspx for more information on some of the limitations of using the CodeEntryPointMethod.
