Also, give me a damn USB port!

They’re saying that the hardware can’t support multitasking and some of the other missing features and still work smoothly at this point. Whether it’s true or not – I’m not buying a tablet until it runs a full OS, preferably one I can install Arch Linux on!

& – evaluates all expresssions regardless of their boolean result, and then determines if the collective result is true/false.
&& – evaluates each expression until a false is encountered.

This is commonly referred to as a short-circuit. The attached article provides a clear example of the behavior and differences between the operators. Note the program output at the bottom of the page. I hope this helps.

Thanks

This is *way* better, especially for simple XML documents.

The problem was not with the code but it was because I was using this code inside an update panel. MS Ajax response object throws up error probably because it cant handle the reponse stream.

So, I redirected the control to a new page (Response.Redirect(”FileDownload.aspx”) ) and implemented the code on that page.

Thanks for your help.

In regard to using static in a web app, the class which my method(DownloadQuote) is a part of is just a utility class so I have static methods so i dont have to create instances. There shouldnt be a problem with static methods, static variables I understand why but methods i dont see why.

This is how I am calling the function

protected void btnDownloadQuote_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
IDictionary quoteFiels = new Dictionary
{
{”Division”, drpDwnDivision.SelectedItem.Text},
{”Display By”,rdBtnDisplayBy.SelectedValue == “0″? drpDwnProduct.SelectedItem.Text: drpDwnPaper.SelectedItem.Text},
{”Finished Size”, lblFinishedSize.Text},
{”Paper”, lblPaper.Text},
{”Pages”, lblPages.Text},
{”Colour”, lblColour.Text},
{”Finishing”, lblFinishing.Text},
{”Volume”, txtVolume.Text},
{”Reel Size”, txtReelSize.Text},
{”Tonnage Required”, txtTonnageRequired.Text},
{”Paper Price”, txtPaperPrice.Text},
{”Production Price”, txtProductionPrice.Text},
{”Total Price”, txtTotalPrice.Text}
};
Utility.DownloadQuote(quoteFiels);
}

FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path.GetTempPath() + “Quote.pdf”);
if (!file.Exists)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException(”Can’t find that file.”);
}
else
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(”Content-Disposition”, “attachment; filename=Quote.pdf”);
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(”Content-Length”, file.Length.ToString());
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = “application/octet-stream”;
HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(file.FullName);
}
isCreated = true;
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
throw new ApplicationException(”Error occured while creating PDF.”,de);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
throw new ApplicationException(”Error occured while creating PDF.”, ioe);
}
return isCreated;
}

My pdf is created successfully, its there in the temp folder. Its not prompting me to save the file, no exceptions at all.

public static bool DownloadQuote(IDictionary quoteFiels)
{
bool isCreated = false;
Document pdfQuote = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
try
{
PdfWriter.GetInstance(pdfQuote, new FileStream(Path.GetTempPath() + “Quote.pdf”, FileMode.Create));
pdfQuote.Open();
foreach (DictionaryEntry field in quoteFiels)
{
string line = field.Key +”: “+field.Value;
pdfQuote.Add(new Paragraph(line));
}
pdfQuote.Close();

FileInfo file = new System.IO.FileInfo(Path.GetTempPath() + “Quote.pdf”);
if (!file.Exists)
{
throw new FileNotFoundException(”Can’t find that file.”);
}
else
{
HttpContext.Current.Response.Clear();
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(”Content-Disposition”, “attachment; filename=Quote.pdf”);
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader(”Content-Length”, file.Length.ToString());
HttpContext.Current.Response.ContentType = “application/octet-stream”;
HttpContext.Current.Response.WriteFile(file.FullName);
}
isCreated = true;
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
throw new ApplicationException(”Error occured while creating PDF.”,de);
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
throw new ApplicationException(”Error occured while creating PDF.”, ioe);
}
return isCreated;
}

First of all. Thanks very much for your useful post.

I just came across your blog and wanted to drop you a note telling you how impressed I was with the information you have posted here.

But then again, I don’t have any working knowledge of LINQ

You should try to get a hold of a full version of Photoshop. The marquee tool has a drop-down that you can change to “Aspect” or “Fixed size”, so you can select and crop a 1×1 scaled square, or select exactly 100×100 pixels.

I’m a big Photoshop user, and I think Elements should have this. It’s called layer styles, and one of the is “Stroke”. Which means you don’t have to Rasterize (Simplify) the text layer, and you can play with the text/font and stroke as much as you want.
