System.Drawing.Image.FromFile from URL?

can i create a system.drawing.Image from a url. using
http://www.domain.com/image.jpg instead of c:\image.jpg. ?
thanks!No, but you can use the WebClient or WebRequest classes to bring the
bytes to the local computer and then create the Image obect.

As scott mentioned, you do not have any method that can directly read the
image from URL.
Use webclient and read it into a byte[] using DownloadData
then you Image class to load it

System.Drawing.Text font question

Hello,

I've looked for answer to this everywhere but with no luck..

I need to dynamically create graphic text from database values. I've got this working fine if I use arial as the font but I want to use another font.

Now - presumably I can use any font installed on the server? But it doesn't seem to work. I want to use a font called blurLight but it just outputs in arial (I think - it's a standard font anyway)

Is there anything else I need to do to make other fonts available to asp.net other than just installing them on the server???

Thank you.Post some code so we can have a looksie
Alright - I will

<%@. Page Language="VB" Debug="True" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="System.Drawing" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="System.Drawing.Imaging" %>
<%@. Import Namespace="System.Drawing.Text" %>
<%
' Declare Vars
Dim objBMP As System.Drawing.Bitmap
Dim objGraphics As System.Drawing.Graphics
Dim objFont As System.Drawing.Font
objBMP = New Bitmap(100, 30)
objGraphics = System.Drawing.Graphics.FromImage(objBMP)
objGraphics.Clear(Color.Green)
objGraphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias
objFont = New Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Bold)
objGraphics.DrawString("Hello World", objFont, Brushes.White, 3, 3)
Response.ContentType = "image/GIF"
objBMP.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Gif)
objFont.Dispose()
objGraphics.Dispose()
objBMP.Dispose()
%

That code works fine but when I replace Arial with the font I want to use - it doesn't work..

Any ideas??

System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

Getting the following error on my production server whether the file exists
or not:

"System.IO.IOException: Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Here's the code generating the error (seems to be happening when I try
creating a directory)

If dirmgr.Exists("s:\blah\" & txt_name.Text) Then
lblerror.Text = lblerror.Text & "Unable to build physical path. " &
txt_name.Text & " & Contact Dev Team.<BR>"
Else
dirmgr.CreateDirectory("s:\blah\" & txt_name.Text)

This code runs fine on my development server (only the path is c:\blah\blah
instead of S). Also, my production server has failover cluser, and the s
drive is the failover drive. I can't imagine that could be a problem, but
thought I would mention it.

Asside from that, the only other thing I can think of is that the framework
version on my dev box says 1.1, and the one on my production server says:
1.0.37 - surely that's not the cause is it? Permissions shouldn't be an
issue (i've even tried as domain admin)

I would appreciate any help on this, as I'm out of ideas, and can find no
other documentation on this.

I agree with Natty. The problem you are having is most likely caused by
having no right to access network resources. Willy address a similar
problem before. See

Thanks for the response.

I understand that, but I'm trying to create a directory on the local drive.
This isn't a mapped share. The drive is physically present on the web
server, and if that web server fails, the other system physically takes over
the drive (ie, a cluster). I've also added the local ASPNET account to the
NTFS permissions on the folder, and it still fails.

It doesn't work creating folders under the same directory as the web
application... same issue.

I'm going to try figuring out why that server is showing that it's running
version 1.03 of the dotnet framework. It shows that v1.1 was installed.

Thanks,
Chad

Chad, was the problem resolved? It seems that you installed both v1.03 and
v1.1 on the same web server. If so, it might be helpful to look at the
article "Compatibility Considerations and Version Changes" on
http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/changeinfo/default.aspx. Try configuring your
web application to run V1.03 and V1.1 specifically to see how it works.

Allen,

Thanks for the followup. I actually got my program working late last night.
The problem was the framework version.

I tried simply configuring the web application to use version 1.1, but that
didn't help. I also tried uninstalling then reinstalling framework version
1.1, but that also didn't get IIS to start using version 1.1 by default. I
consequently uninstalled versions 1.1 *and* version 1.03, then only
reinstalled version 1.1 again, and this took care of the problem.

Thanks again for all the help everyone!

- Chad

System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName

Hi,
System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName( ) is supposed to create a temporary file and give us the path to the created file.
By default, where does this temp file get created? C:\Temp, C:\WinNT ?
Bcos right now this fails and error we get is "Access denied". But we dont know which folder's permissions to change as we dont know where this temp file is supposed to get created.

It will be in the ASPNET user's Temp Directory. For example, on mine:
C:\Documents and Settings\ComputerName\ASPNET\Local Settings\Temp

You are right ! I just found that out by using

tempPathString = Path.GetTempPath()
Thanks !

correctomundo!!
I know this is an old post, but System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() only puts stuff in the ASPNET user directory when the app runs on XP Pro. That is fine for development, but when the app is deployed to a Windows 2003 server the method returns C:\Windows\Temp. Calling GetTempFileName() creates a temp file there. Surely, it isn't safe or a best practice to write to the Windows directory, is it?

System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send() Error: An invalid character was found in the mail header

hi all!

please help!

I wanted to make an automatic email when I create user by CreateUserWizard. So I configured SMTP, then in properties of the wizard indicated textfile for message and wrote simple subject "registration"

but I have an exception (like in subj).

I even tried to set the subject in event handler for "emailsending" event. Same exception.

What is wrong? How could I fix it?

Here us some info from stack:

Hi there, can i just ask why you choose me? as for your problem, it looks like there is an invalid character in the mail header, so either there is nothing in it or something there shouldnt be, try taking a few steps back, if your attaching a text file just simply put a few words coded in, and if your header is dynamic try making it hard coded

You were online. Sorry.

It is more simple. There is simpliest string, like "123". Same error

hey no worries, well try a string like abc, also make sure no fields are not left blank. What usually helps me is take a 10 min break, clear you head have a coffee and come back look through your code as if you have never seen it before. something may catch. Im not the worlds best .neter but i usually find if there is a problem its often by taking things back to basic it helps

If your still not having any success you could try the code below and see if it makes any difference.

Regards

Martijn

Sub mailout()Dim mailAsNew Net.Mail.MailMessage()

'set the addresses

mail.To.Add("recipient@.whereever.com")

mail.From =New Net.Mail.MailAddress("sender@.wherever.com"))

'set the content

mail.Subject ="Email Subject line"

mail.Body ="The main body of the email message"

'send the message

Dim smtpAsNew Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtp.whereever.com")

'to authenticate we set the username and password properites on the SmtpClient

smtp.Credentials =New Net.NetworkCredential("smtp-accountname e.g. sender@.wherever.com","smtp-account-password")

Try

smtp.Send(mail)

response.write("Email sent successfully")

Catch ExAs Exception

response.write("Email send failed error code is... " & Ex.Message)

EndTry

EndSub

no success, same error

I cant come up with any conclusions from your stack trace.

The code I gave you I copied out of an application I wrote there was something I had missed and should have cleaned up in the following line

mail.From =New Net.Mail.MailAddress(Session(sender@.wherever.com))

It should be this (no reference to any session variable)

mail.From =New Net.Mail.MailAddress(sender@.wherever.com)

The only other question is does your recipient or sender email address have any unusual charactors or attempt to have a space in it? Any thing like that could cause a problem. Try the same code with different email addresses and different content.

Sorry no other suggestions

Martijn

May be this piece of code will help:

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="evdokp@.pochta.ru">
<network host="mail.pochta.ru" password="[мой пароль]" userName="evdokp@.pochta.ru" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

this is how ASP.NET build-it configuration tool edits web.config

Well, my additional question is: where does the tool sets port value?

ok, my sugesstion is to take remove the brackets from the password and to use a password with standard English character set without and spaces.

Be sure to update the password on the mail server too.

Good luck

<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="evdokp@.pochta.ru">
<network host="mail.pochta.ru" password="myPassword" userName="evdokp@.pochta.ru" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>

it is not that easy.

these brackets are there just because I hide my password. It was like you say "myPassword"

Do you know where port is defined in web.config?

Hi..

Thank you very much for the reply.. But I couldn't get much help from that.

Thanks

Hi,

In that case, try posting the code which you feel causes the error.

Suprotim.

Hi venkatzeus,

According to MSDN, if the HRESULT is a custom result or if it is unknown to the runtime, the runtime passes a genericCOMException to the client. TheErrorCode property of theCOMException contains the HRESULT value. You can use catch(ComException ex) to catch this type of exception.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.interopservices.comexception(VS.71).aspx

Hope it helps.

HI..

I searched in google and found out this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232282

It says, it is a Generic COM Error Codes. How to catch these generic COM Error codes and provide more meaningful messages to the end user.

Thanks

System.Security.SecurityException: Permission denied Error while invoking methods in a Com

Hi,
I am getting an error while trying to create an excel file.
"Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed
by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission
please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust
level in the configuration file.
Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Permission denied"

This is what I am doing. we had an app that was written in VB to take
specific dates and create an excel file.
I am using the dll in my .NET app but it displays the error while writing
the file...

I am sure that I have used regsrv32 to register the DLL

any suggestions,
Stephenyou said you are using the COM server DLL directly in .net? If thats
what you are doing.. you need to create an interop assembly before you
can access the methods in that dll

Please let me know if I understoof your question incorrectly

Are you trying to run the application over the network? If so, see
http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnfa/archi...6/20/57023.aspx. (If you're
using version 2.0 of the .NET framework, ClickOnce is another option for
permissions elevation.)

If you're not attempting to run the applicaiton over the network, could you
please post the complete exception details (including call stack listing),
as returned from its ToString method?

It looks like your ASP.NET application is not probably not running with
unrestricted CAS permissions (aka full trust). Unless you have restricted
CAS permissions via your own application's web.config file, adjusting this
is a task for the server administrator. (If you are in shared hosting, it's
likely that the administrator will be unwilling to increase your
application's permissions, and you may need to move to dedicated hosting.)
