Enable Samesite for the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 bootstrapper package

By
Lifted from the full VS 2008 SP1 http://download.microsoft.com/download/A/2/8/A2807F78-C861-4B66-9B31-9205C3F22252/VS2008SP1Readme.htm#General%20Issues as I have seen quite a few people run into this.

If the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 bootstrapper package is selected in the Prerequisite dialog box for a Setup project or in ClickOnce publishing, and also the "Download prerequisites from the same location as my application" option is selected, the following build error is shown:

The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'dotNetFx35setup.exe' in item 'Microsoft.Net.Framework.3.5.SP1' cannot be located on disk.

To resolve this issue:

Update the Package Data
  1. Open the [Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder or %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems
  2. Edit the Product.xml file in Notepad.
  3. Paste the following into the < PackageFiles > element:
    < PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg.exe" />
    < PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg_x64.exe" />
    < PackageFile Name="TOOLS\clwireg_ia64.exe" />
  4. Find the element for < PackageFile Name="dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-x86-en-US.exe" and change the PublicKey value to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
  5. Find the element for < PackageFile Name="dotNetFX30\XPSEPSC-amd64-en-US.exe" and change the PublicKey value to the same as in step 4 above
  6. Save the product.xml file



Download and Extract the Core Installation Files
  1. Navigate to the following URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=118080
  2. Download the dotNetFx35.exe file to your local disk.
  3. Open a Command Prompt window and change to the directory to which you downloaded dotNetFx35.exe.
  4. At the command prompt, type:
    dotNetFx35.exe /x:.
    This will extract the Framework files to a folder named “WCU” in the current directory.
  5. Copy the contents of the WCU\dotNetFramework folder and paste them in the %Program Files%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 folder (%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\DotNetFx35SP1 on x64 operating systems). Note: Do not copy the WCU\dotNetFramework folder itself. There should be 5 folders under the WCU folder, and each of these should now appear in the DotNetFx35SP1 folder. The folder structure should resemble the following:
    o DotNetFx35SP1 (folder)

    • dotNetFX20 (folder
    • dotNetFX30 (folder)
    • dotNetFX35 (folder)
    • dotNetMSP (folder)
    • TOOLS folder)
    • en (or some other localized folder)
    • dotNetFx35setup.exe (file)


You may now delete the files and folders you downloaded and extracted in steps 2 and 4.

Very cool. Saved me a lot of trouble because choosing to download prerequisites from the vendors site would install a different version of crystal reports (also needed) that breaks the application. :) Thanks a lot for taking the time to post this.

Take website screenshot using ASP.NET

By
Utilising a hidden web browser control it is possible to take a screenshot of any website. The code shown below is based on an article at plentyofcode.com (sorry the site now appears to be offline May 2012) but I have translated it from VB.NET to C# and will work in .NET so theoretically for any Windows or ASP.NET web project.

I was asked to produce a new website for local furniture restorer and cabinet maker John Hamblin. Having struggled with another provider who failed to deliver a finished website I was asked to take the website on and produce a simple site that communicates their values of high quality workmanship and excellent customer service.

Compress and de-compress strings in C#

By
A collection of resources on compressing and encrypting strings in C#.
Microsoft documentation on the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream class:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.gzipstream.aspx
Helpful example class utilising GZip:
http://www.csharphelp.com/2007/09/compress-and-decompress-strings-in-c/
The GZipStream class is predominantly used for file compression but can be used efficiently for compressing strings of 300-400 characters or more. Below 300 characters there isn’t any measurable gain from the compression and for particularly short strings the compressed version may in fact be larger.
Class provided by C Sharp Help:
using System.IO.Compression;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
public static string Compress(string text)
{
    byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
    MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
    using (GZipStream zip = new GZipStream(ms, CompressionMode.Compress, true))����…
