I am working on a web project where client needs a functionality to first upload some MS Word document & then he can compare any two of the uploaded documents.
The idea I came up with is to first make the documents available using WEBDAV & then open both documents using command line with "Compare side by side" option. In this way he will be able to compare & modify two documents.
The problem is, I am not able to find any command which can be run from command prompt to open two documents in compare mode.
Also, if you know any other way to achieve this functionality then please share it with me.
There is a project to do this using a PowerShell script, ExtDiff: https://github.com/ForNeVeR/ExtDiff
This may be an approach (for Visual Studio 2010)
I mixed together the two following links

TODO:
Replace 1.docx and 2.docx with strings from command line
maybe some Exception handling
I've looked at the list of command line switches and I didn't see anything relevant.
You could create a console application in .net that opens Word, loads in the 2 documents and switches Word to the compare documents viewmode. Instead of launching Word directly from the command line you launch your application.

I have a custom template in which I'd like to control (as best I can) the types of content that can exist in a document. To that end, I disable controls, and I also intercept pastes to remove some of those content types, e.g. charts. I am aware that this content can also be drag-and-dropped, so I also check for it later, but I'd prefer to stop or warn the user as soon as possible.
I have tried a few strategies:
RTF manipulation
Open XML manipulation
RTF manipulation is so far working fairly well, but I'd really prefer to use Open XML as I expect it to be more useful in the future. I just can't get it working.
Open XML Manipulation
The wonderfully-undocumented (as far as I can tell) "Embed Source" appears to contain a compound document object, which I can use to modify the copied content using the Open XML SDK. But I have been unable to put the modified content back into an object that lets it be pasted correctly.
The modification part seems to work fine. I can see, if I save the modified content to a temporary .docx file, that the changes are being made correctly. It's the return to the clipboard that seems to be giving me trouble.
I have tried assigning just the Embed Source object back to the clipboard (so that the other types such as RTF get wiped out), and in this case nothing at all gets pasted. I've also tried re-assigning the Embed Source object back to the clipboard's data object, so that the remaining data types are still there (but with mismatched content, probably), which results in an empty embedded document getting pasted.
Here's a sample of what I'm doing with Open XML:
using OpenMcdf;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Packaging;
using DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing;
...
object dataObj = Forms.Clipboard.GetDataObject();
object embedSrcObj = dateObj.GetData("Embed Source");
if (embedSrcObj is Stream)
{
// read it with OpenMCDF
Stream stream = embedSrcObj as Stream;
CompoundFile cf = new CompoundFile(stream);
CFStream cfs = cf.RootStorage.GetStream("package");
byte[] bytes = cfs.GetData();
string savedDoc = Path.GetTempFileName() + ".docx";
File.WriteAllBytes(savedDoc, bytes);
// And then use the OpenXML SDK to read/edit the document:
using (WordprocessingDocument openDoc = WordprocessingDocument.Open(savedDoc, true))
{
OpenXmlElement body = openDoc.MainDocumentPart.RootElement.ChildElements[0];
foreach (OpenXmlElement ele in body.ChildElements)
{
if (ele is Paragraph)
{
Paragraph para = (Paragraph)ele;
if (para.ParagraphProperties != null && para.ParagraphProperties.ParagraphStyleId != null)
{
string styleName = para.ParagraphProperties.ParagraphStyleId.Val;
Run run = para.LastChild as Run; // I know I'm assuming things here but it's sufficient for a test case
run.RunProperties = new RunProperties();
run.RunProperties.AppendChild(new DocumentFormat.OpenXml.Wordprocessing.Text("test"));
}
}
// etc.
}
openDoc.MainDocumentPart.Document.Save(); // I think this is redundant in later versions than what I'm using
}
// repackage the document
bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(savedDoc);
cf.RootStorage.Delete("Package");
cfs = cf.RootStorage.AddStream("Package");
cfs.Append(bytes);
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
cf.Save(ms);
ms.Position = 0;
dataObj.SetData("Embed Source", ms);
// or,
// Clipboard.SetData("Embed Source", ms);
}
Question
What am I doing wrong? Is this just a bad/unworkable approach?
I'm trying to create the Leaderboard on Cloud9. But I get the error: PlayersList not defined... in the editor. The app is working, but then it's code in editor underlining all 'not defind PlayersList'
The code:
PlayersList = new Mongo.Collection('players');
if(Meteor.isClient){
Template.leaderboard.helpers({
'player': function(){
return PlayersList.find({}, {sort: {score: -1, name: 1}});
},
'selectedClass': function(){
var playerId = this._id;
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
if(selectedPlayer === playerId){
return 'selected';
}
},
'showSelectedPlayer': function(){
var selectedPlayer = Session.get('selectedPlayer');
return PlayersList.findOne(selectedPlayer);
}
});
Cloud9's editor uses ESLint, and using foo = 22 makes it think that there's a missing statement like var foo; somewhere. You can either choose to ignore this, or fix it as follows:
Add /*eslint-env meteor */ to the top so it doesn't give warnings about Meteor globals, and maybe you'll also need to add /* globals Player */ added too in case the error still stays. (I haven't tested this out, please let me know how it goes so I can improve the answer)
I solved the problem with a little workaround. I added coffeescript and then I used the # symbol on the global like you should, when you define a collection with coffeescript. And that was solving it for me. It works fine. As I opened the app in an new browser window, posts were available in the console.
Example:
#Posts = new Mongo.Collection('posts')
The CQ.tagging.TagInputField provided two configuration parameter which won't work in combination:
tagsBasePath
namespaces
Using the OOTB facebook tags as example, I want to restric the dialog to only display the Favorite Teams. The Structure is this:
So I set tagBasePath to /etc/tags/facebook and namespaces to [favorite_teams]. This does what it is supposed to do and only shows the two teams in the dialog. But when you click on it, a JavaScript exceptions is thrown. The problem lies in the following method defined in /libs/cq/tagging/widgets/source/CQ.tagging.js
CQ.tagging.parseTag = function(tag, isPath) {
var tagInfo = {
namespace: null,
local: tag,
getTagID: function() {
return this.namespace + ":" + this.local;
}
};
// parse tag pattern: namespace:local
var colonPos = tag.indexOf(isPath ? '/' : ':');
if (colonPos > 0) {
// the first colon ":" delimits a namespace
// don't forget to trim the strings (in case of title paths)
tagInfo.namespace = tag.substring(0, colonPos).trim();
tagInfo.local = tag.substring(colonPos + 1).trim();
}
return tagInfo;
};
It does not respect the configurations set on the widget and returns a tagInfo where the namespace is null. I then overlayed the method in my authoring JavaScripts, but this is of course not working in the SiteAdmin as my custom JS are not included.
So, do I really have to overwrite the CQ.tagging.js below libs or can I somehow inject my overlay into the SiteAdmin so the PageProperties Dialog opened from there works as well?
UPDATE: I had a chat with Adobe support regarding this and it was pointed out that if you use tagsBasePath you need to place it somewhere else than below /etc/tags. But this won't work as well as the TagListServlet will return no tags as /etc/tags is also fixed in the TagManager as the tagsBasePath. I now overwrite the above mentioned js at its location, being well aware that I need to check it if we install a hotfix or an update. Is someone has a more elegant solution I'd be still thankful.
I am using the Fluent API to handle various configuration options for Logging using EntLib.
I am building up the loggingConfiguration section manually in code. It seems to work great except that the RollingFlatFileTraceListener doesn't actually Roll the file. It will respect the size limit and cap the amount of data it writes to the file appropriately, but it doesn't not actually create a new file and continue the logs.
I've tested it with a sample app and the app.config and it seems to work. So I'm guess that I am missing something although every config option that seems like it needs is there.
Here is the basics of the code (with hard-coded values to show a config that doesn't seem to be working):
//Create the config builder for the Fluent API
var configBuilder = new ConfigurationSourceBuilder();
//Start building the logging config section
var logginConfigurationSection = new LoggingSettings("loggingConfiguration", true, "General");
logginConfigurationSection.RevertImpersonation = false;
var _rollingFileListener = new RollingFlatFileTraceListenerData("Rolling Flat File Trace Listener", "C:\\tracelog.log", "----------------------", "",
10, "MM/dd/yyyy", RollFileExistsBehavior.Increment,
RollInterval.Day, TraceOptions.None,
"Text Formatter", SourceLevels.All);
_rollingFileListener.MaxArchivedFiles = 2;
//Add trace listener to current config
logginConfigurationSection.TraceListeners.Add(_rollingFileListener);
//Configure the category source section of config for flat file
var _rollingFileCategorySource = new TraceSourceData("General", SourceLevels.All);
//Must be named exactly the same as the flat file trace listener above.
_rollingFileCategorySource.TraceListeners.Add(new TraceListenerReferenceData("Rolling Flat File Trace Listener"));
//Add category source information to current config
logginConfigurationSection.TraceSources.Add(_rollingFileCategorySource);
//Add the loggingConfiguration section to the config.
configBuilder.AddSection("loggingConfiguration", logginConfigurationSection);
//Required code to update the EntLib Configuration with settings set above.
var configSource = new DictionaryConfigurationSource();
configBuilder.UpdateConfigurationWithReplace(configSource);
//Set the Enterprise Library Container for the inner workings of EntLib to use when logging
EnterpriseLibraryContainer.Current = EnterpriseLibraryContainer.CreateDefaultContainer(configSource);
Any help would be appreciated!
Your timestamp pattern is wrong. It should be yyy-mm-dd instead of MM/dd/yyyy. The ‘/’ character is not supported.
Also, you could accomplish your objective by using the fluent configuration interface much easier. Here's how:
ConfigurationSourceBuilder formatBuilder = new ConfigurationSourceBuilder();
ConfigurationSourceBuilder builder = new ConfigurationSourceBuilder();
builder.ConfigureLogging().LogToCategoryNamed("General").
SendTo.
RollingFile("Rolling Flat File Trace Listener")
.CleanUpArchivedFilesWhenMoreThan(2).WhenRollFileExists(RollFileExistsBehavior.Increment)
.WithTraceOptions(TraceOptions.None)
.RollEvery(RollInterval.Minute)
.RollAfterSize(10)
.UseTimeStampPattern("yyyy-MM-dd")
.ToFile("C:\\logs\\Trace.log")
.FormatWith(new FormatterBuilder().TextFormatterNamed("textFormatter"));
var configSource = new DictionaryConfigurationSource();
builder.UpdateConfigurationWithReplace(configSource);
EnterpriseLibraryContainer.Current = EnterpriseLibraryContainer.CreateDefaultContainer(configSource);
var writer = EnterpriseLibraryContainer.Current.GetInstance<LogWriter>();
DateTime stopWritingTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10);
while (DateTime.Now < stopWritingTime)
{
writer.Write("test", "General");
}
I have a win form that creates a site in IIS7.
One function needs to open the web.config file and make a few updates. (connection string, smtp, impersonation)
However I do not have the virtual path, just the physical path.
Is there any way I can still use WebConfigurationManager?
I need to use it's ability to find section and read/write.
System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration
You will have to map the physicalPath to a virtualPath. Here is how you would do that.
using System.Web.Configuration; //Reference the System.Web DLL (project needs to be using .Net 4.0 full, not client framework)
public static Configuration OpenConfigFile(string configPath)
{
var configFile = new FileInfo(configPath);
var vdm = new VirtualDirectoryMapping(configFile.DirectoryName, true, configFile.Name);
var wcfm = new WebConfigurationFileMap();
wcfm.VirtualDirectories.Add("/", vdm);
return WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration(wcfm, "/");
}
Vadim's answer worked great on our dev server, but bombed out on our live server with the following message:
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: site
To correct this, I found another overload for WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration that takes the IIS website name as the third parameter. The result is as follows:
public static Configuration OpenConfigFile(string configPath)
{
var configFile = new FileInfo(configPath);
var vdm = new VirtualDirectoryMapping(configFile.DirectoryName, true, configFile.Name);
var wcfm = new WebConfigurationFileMap();
wcfm.VirtualDirectories.Add("/", vdm);
return WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration(wcfm, "/", "iis_website_name");
}
Vadim's answer was exactly what I needed, but I came across the same issue as Kieth, and his solution did the trick!
I thought I'd add though, that the IIS Website name can be retrieved by calling:
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ApplicationHost.GetSiteName();
Also, cjbarth's code included a tidy solution for those testing in environments where the location of wwwroot and Web.config can vary:
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~");
So with these in mind another slight improvement on Vadim's function would read:
public static Configuration GetWebConfig() {
var webConfigFile = new FileInfo("Web.config");
var wwwRootPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~");
var vdm = new VirtualDirectoryMapping(wwwRootPath, true, webConfigFile.Name);
var wcfm = new WebConfigurationFileMap();
wcfm.VirtualDirectories.Add("/", vdm);
var siteName = HostingEnvironment.ApplicationHost.GetSiteName();
return WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration(wcfm, "/", siteName);
}
I ended up using Powershell.
$file = "D:\Applications\XXX\Private\XXX\XXXX\web.config"
$configurationAssembly = "System.Configuration, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
[Void] [Reflection.Assembly]::Load($configurationAssembly)
$filepath = New-Object System.Configuration.ExeConfigurationFileMap
$filepath.ExeConfigFileName = $file
$configuration = [System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager]::OpenMappedExeConfiguration($filepath,0)
$section = $configuration.GetSection("appSettings")
Write-Host "Set the Protection Provider"
if (-not $section.SectionInformation.IsProtected)
{
$section.SectionInformation.ProtectSection("DataProtectionConfigurationProvider")
$configuration.Save()
}
Building on Vadim's answer, I found what he wrote didn't exactly work for my situation, so I used this instead:
Dim connectionSettings As New ConnectionStringSettings("mySQLite", ConnectionStringHelper.MyConnectionString)
Dim dummyVirtualPath As String = "/MyApp"
Dim virtualDirMap = New VirtualDirectoryMapping(Server.MapPath("~"), True)
Dim webConfigFileMap = New WebConfigurationFileMap()
webConfigFileMap.VirtualDirectories.Add(dummyVirtualPath, virtualDirMap)
Dim mappedConfigFile = WebConfigurationManager.OpenMappedWebConfiguration(webConfigFileMap, dummyVirtualPath)
Dim config As System.Configuration.Configuration = mappedConfigFile WebConfigurationManager.OpenWebConfiguration(Server.MapPath("~") & "/")
Dim csSection As ConnectionStringsSection = config.ConnectionStrings
If csSection.ConnectionStrings("mySQLite") IsNot Nothing AndAlso csSection.ConnectionStrings("mySQLite").ConnectionString <> connectionSettings.ConnectionString Then
csSection.ConnectionStrings("mySQLite").ConnectionString = connectionSettings.ConnectionString
config.Save()
ConfigurationManager.RefreshSection(csSection.SectionInformation.Name)
End If
In case anyone else is trying what I'm trying and finds this, the purpose of my doing this was to get SimpleMembershipProvider, which inherits from ExtendedMembershipProvider, to work with SQLite. To do that, I created the tables manually per this link: SimpleMembershipProvider in MVC4, and then used this command in my Global.asax file's Application_Start routine:
WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection(ConnectionStringHelper.MyConnectionString, "System.Data.SQLite", "Users", "UserID", "Email", False)
Which it turns out didn't require me to actually re-write my web.config file at all. (There were also a lot of web.config changes I had to do, but that is even more out of the scope of this question.)
