PdfSharp pdf password protected

I'm facing strange issue.
My goal is to run query on the Oracle Database which give me an OracleBlob (where the pdf file is stored). Then I want to check if pdf stored in that blob is password protected - if it is return and do nothing else protect that file with a password.
So right now it is working only at the first time when the pdf file is not password protected. When i try to run it again with a password it takes hours to complete ...
Could You help me with that ?
How can i prepare an exception for it or maybe I did something wrong in the code?
public Stream encryptPdf(int idIn, string code)
{
string constr = "User Id=user;Password=pass;Data Source=database";
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
con.Open();
// Get the ByteCodes for blob file
string cmdstr = string.Format(#"select t.blob_file from table t where t.id = {0}", idIn);
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(cmdstr, con);
// Since we are going to update the OracleBlob object, we will
//have to create a transaction
OracleTransaction txn = con.BeginTransaction();
// Get the reader
OracleDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
// Declare the variables to retrieve the data in EmpInfo
OracleBlob byteCodesBlob;
// Read the first row
reader.Read();
if (!reader.IsDBNull(0))
{
byteCodesBlob = reader.GetOracleBlobForUpdate(0);
try
{
PdfSharp.Pdf.PdfDocument document = PdfSharp.Pdf.IO.PdfReader.Open(byteCodesBlob);
PdfSecuritySettings securitySettings = document.SecuritySettings;
securitySettings.UserPassword = "user";
securitySettings.OwnerPassword = code;
securitySettings.PermitAccessibilityExtractContent = false;

securitySettings.PermitFullQualityPrint = false;
securitySettings.PermitModifyDocument = true;
securitySettings.PermitPrint = false;
document.Save(byteCodesBlob);
// Close the reader
reader.Close();
// Update the ByteCodes object
BinaryReader binaryReader = new BinaryReader(byteCodesBlob);
byte[] data = binaryReader.ReadBytes((int)byteCodesBlob.Length);
byteCodesBlob.Append(data, 0, data.Length);
// Now commit the transaction
txn.Commit();
Console.WriteLine("Blob Column successfully updated");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
reader.Dispose();
con.Dispose();
//throw new Exception(ex.Message.ToString()); ?
return null;
}
}
else
reader.Dispose();
// Close the connection
con.Dispose();

Stop Upload when a some data already exists

I have an upload button that can upload excel file and save it to my database. What I want to happen is that if there's one or more data in that excel file that already existing the other data will also not be uploaded though it's not yet existing.

You have to set the transferMode to 'Streamed', otherwise you will always get one file.
Have a look at this article: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/wcf/feature-details/how-to-enable-streaming

I think there is a few things you'll need to tackle to reach your end goal.
Use a multiselect method and a get a post list of all files required
for upload.
Do your processing requirements in a Transaction
When your done processing, commit or rollback the transaction as necessary and keep the data you want.
Study the link I posted a little bit. At first transaction seem a little bit overwhelming, but they are actually very simple. Maybe I can help you get started in your understandings. There are really only three extra steps;
1.
Initialize a transaction object after you create a command.
SqlTransaction transaction = connection.BeginTransaction();
2.
On all of your Sql Commands (Inserts,updates, deletes ect) attach the transaction.
cmd.Transaction = transaction;
This will allow you to Execute the SqlCommands without actually putting them into your database. Lastly, when you've processed all of your inserts and updates you can do the final step. The using statement is not required, just good practice. That could be the next thing you'll want to understand it is very helpful.
3.
Commit all SqlCommands to the database.
transaction.Commit();
If at any point during your data processing, something goes wrong than you can rollback every transaction like this.
transaction.Rollback();

How to insert null value to image column in SQL Server c#

I have been trying to figure out how to save image into database with both null and image values. For my code it saves the image but if the image is missing it does not save a null value.
public string STDNAME { get; set; }
public string Image { get; set; }
DateTime Date1 = DateTime.Now;
This the code that I used to save the data
public string imagepath { get; set; }
public bool Insert(StudentC c)
{
bool isSuccess = false;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(myconnstring);
try
{
byte[] imageBT = null;
FileStream fstream = new FileStream(this.Image, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fstream);
imageBT = br.ReadBytes((int)fstream.Length);
string sql = "INSERT INTO STUDENT (STDNAME,imagepath,Image,Date) VALUES (#STDNAME,#imagepath,#Image,#Date)";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#STDNAME", c.STDNAME);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#imagepath", c.imagepath);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Image", imageBT);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Date", Date1);
conn.Open();
int rows = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
if (rows > 0)
{
isSuccess = true;
}
else
{
isSuccess = false;
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("\nMessage ---\n{0}", ex.Message);
}
finally
{
conn.Close();
}
return isSuccess;
}
This code is for browsing the image
//browse image
private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OpenFileDialog f = new OpenFileDialog();
f.Filter = "All Files|*.*|JPEGs|*.jpg|Bitmaps|*.bmp|GIFs|*.gif";
f.FilterIndex = 2;
if (f.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
pictureBox2.Image = Image.FromFile(f.FileName);
pictureBox2.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
pictureBox2.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;
textBox7.Text = f.SafeFileName.ToString();
string picPath = f.FileName.ToString();
textBox7.Text = picPath;
pictureBox2.ImageLocation = picPath;
}
}
This is the code to supplies the values to store
private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
c.STDNAME = textBox2.Text;
c.Image = textBox7.Text;
c.imagepath = textBox7.Text;
bool success = c.Insert(c);
if (success == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("Data has been saved");
//Clear();
}
else
{
// label4.Text = "Data Has not been saved";
MessageBox.Show("Data has not been saved");
}
}

For adding adding null to the image column, make sure you specify the type (e.g. VarBinary) as the example below. In addition, make sure the image column accepts null.
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Image", SqlDbType.VarBinary).Value = DBNull.Value;
Moreover, the following approach may lead to the exception further below:
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Image", DBNull.Value);
--- Exception ---
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Implicit conversion from data type nvarchar to varbinary(max) is not allowed. Use the CONVERT function to run this query.

**Very Simple Solution
C# Text
query = "insert into Customer (CustomerCode,LdegerCode,CustomerPicture) values ('0001','9999',NULL)"
Sql query Text
insert into Customer (CustomerCode,LdegerCode,CustomerPicture) values ('0001','9999',NULL)
if You use DBNull.Value its save Empty String in Column

c# mysql unable to output query to a textbox

here is my code:
private void searchInDatabase()
{
MySqlConnection c = new MySqlConnection("datasource=localhost; username=root; password=123456; port=3306");
MySqlCommand mcd;
MySqlDataReader mdr;
String query;
try
{
c.Open();
query = "SELECT * FROM test.classmates WHERE first_name ='"+searchName.Text+"'";
mcd = new MySqlCommand(query, c);
mdr = mcd.ExecuteReader();
if(mdr.Read())
{
firstName.Text = mdr.GetString("first_name");
middleName.Text = mdr.GetString("middle_name");
lastName.Text = mdr.GetString("last_name");
age.Text = mdr.GetString("age");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Result Not Found");
}
}
catch(Exception error)
{
MessageBox.Show("Error: "+error.Message);
}
finally
{
c.Close();
}
}
I would like to ask for a help if I have missed on anything or I am doing it wrong. If you have free time, I will much appreciate it if you will comment the perfect way to do I implement this problem: I want to get data from MySQL then put it in a textbox.

According to MSDN you need to pass the column number as parameter
public override string GetString(int i)
So try to pass the column number (starts from 0) of your column name. Assuming the first_name is the first column of your table then
firstName.Text = mdr.GetString(0);
UPDATE
Try to use MySqlConnectionStringBuilder
MySqlConnectionStringBuilder conn_string = new MySqlConnectionStringBuilder();
conn_string.Server = "serverip/localhost";
conn_string.UserID = "my_user";
conn_string.Password = "password";
conn_string.Database = "my_db";
MySqlConnection conn = new MySqlConnection(conn_string.ToString();

First of all look at this sample of connection string and change your connection string:
'Server=myServerAddress;Port=1234;Database=myDataBase;Uid=myUsername;Pwd=myPasswor;'
If connection is OK send erorr message or full exception.

C# ASP.Net Processing Issue - Reading Table While Deleting Rows

Simply, I have an application that has one page that deletes and then re-adds/refreshes the records into a table every 30 seconds. I have another page that runs every 45 seconds that reads the table data and builds a chart.
The problem is, in the read/view page, every once in a while I get a 0 value (from a max count) and the chart shows nothing. I have a feeling that this is happening because the read is being done at the exact same time the delete page has deleted all the records in the table but has not yet refreshed/re-added them.
Is there a way in my application I can hold off on the read when the table is being refreshed?
Best Regards,
Andy

If the data is being re-added right back after the delete (basically you know what to re-add before emptying the table), you could have both operation within the same SQL transaction, so that the data will be available to the other page only when it has been re-added.
I mean something like that :
public bool DeleteAndAddData(string connString)
{
using (OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connString))
{
OleDbTransaction tran = null;
try
{
conn.Open();
tran = conn.BeginTransaction();
OleDbCommand deleteComm = new OleDbCommand("DELETE FROM Table", conn);
deleteComm.ExecuteNonQuery();
OleDbCommand reAddComm = new OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO Table VALUES(1, 'blabla', 'etc.'", conn);
reAddComm.ExecuteNonQuery();
tran.Commit();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
tran.Rollback();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

If your queries don't take too long to execute, you can start the two with a difference of 7.5 seconds, as there is a collision at every 90 seconds when the read/write finishes 3 cycles, and read/view finishes 2 cycles.
That being said, it's not a fool-proof solution, just a trick based on assumptions, in case you wan't to be completely sure that read/view never happens when read/write cycle is happening, try considering having a Read Lock. I would recommend reading Understanding how SQL Server executes a query and Locking in the Database Engine
Hope that helps.

I would try a couple of things:
Make sure your DELETE + INSERT operation is occurring within a single transaction:
BEGIN TRAN
DELETE FROM ...
INSERT INTO ...
COMMIT
If this isn't a busy table, try locking hints your SELECT statement. For example:
SELECT ...
FROM Table
WITH (UPDLOCK, HOLDLOCK)
In the case where the update transactions starts while your SELECT statement is running, this will cause that transaction to wait until the SELECT is finished. Unfortunately it will block other SELECT statements too, but you don't risk reading dirty data.

I was not able to figure this out but I changed my code so the program was not deleting all the rows in the ActualPlot table but checking to see if the row was there and if not adding the new row from the text file.
