That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 22:37:00 +0000

It's really good described in "Improving Web Application Security: Threats and Countermeasures" article. Most common solution is bit of code in web.config file, which doesn't help me a lot.

<system.web>
<trust level="Full" originUrl=""/>
</system.web>

another popular way to recompile assembly with [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] attribute also was not solution for me.

After all I have added assembly to GAC, restarted IIS and whooops, exception gone!
you will not find gacutil.exe into Framework directory
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\
it's located into SDKs directory
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\

So you should install problem assembly into GAC like
gacutil.exe -i itextsharp.dll

P.S.: it won't eliminate exception with GoDaddy hosting :( according to the article your code must be adapted to Medium trust level :(

disable autocomplete on login page

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:21:00 +0000

you need to add autocomplete property like

        


<div class="Field"> 

<input type="text" id="User" name="User"  class="W50pc" autocomplete="off" 

readonly="readonly"/>
</div>

how to enable auto complete in OTRS To field?

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:03:00 +0000

have you any idea how to disable autocomplete=off in AgentTicketCompose ?
i would like to use cached in browser emails instead of AJAX request and spent two days to find the piece of code!

Thus you should open AgentCustomerSearch.dtl file and comment out one string:

        

//    Core.Agent.CustomerSearch.Init($("#CustomerAutoComplete"), $QData{"ActiveAutoComplete"});

Done!

HOWTO: send mail using perl on windows without sendmail

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:01:00 +0000

Q: How to send mail using perl on windows without sendmail?
A: You need Mail::Sender module and available SMTP Server

e.g.
Simple single part message

        $sender = new Mail::Sender {
                smtp => 'mail.yourISP.com',
                from => 'somebody@somewhere.com',
                on_errors => undef,
        }
                or die "Can't create the Mail::Sender object: $Mail::Sender::Error\n";
        $sender->Open({
                to => 'mama@home.org, papa@work.com',
                cc => 'somebody@somewhere.com',
                subject => 'Sorry, I\'ll come later.'
        })
                or die "Can't open the message: $sender->{'error_msg'}\n";
        $sender->SendLineEnc("I'm sorry, but thanks to the lusers,
                I'll come at 10pm at best.");
        $sender->SendLineEnc("\nHi, Jenda");
        $sender->Close()
                or die "Failed to send the message: $sender->{'error_msg'}\n";

yet another good option is Email::Sender module
usage:

  my $message = Email::MIME->create( ... );
  # produce an Email::Abstract compatible message object,
  # e.g. produced by Email::Simple, Email::MIME, Email::Stuff

  use Email::Sender::Simple qw(sendmail);
  use Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP qw();
  use Try::Tiny;

  try {
    sendmail(
      $message,
      {
        from => $SMTP_ENVELOPE_FROM_ADDRESS,
        transport => Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP->new({
            host => $SMTP_HOSTNAME,
            port => $SMTP_PORT,
        })
      }
    );
  } catch {
      warn "sending failed: $_";
  };

PeopleSoft SQR Language and Function List in Notepad 5

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Sat, 29 Oct 2011 14:45:00 +0000

First of all I have found funny bug in Notepad++, if you want to use FunctionList plugin with User Defined Language then you should switch off "language menu compact" mode and disable some languages.

Next step to add user defined language SQR
Open User Language Dialog and and create new language SQR.
You can add some keywords, comments and nice formatting. Look here for details.

After that we can define Language Parsing Rule for Function List plugin.
But keep in mind, that SQR script has a lot nameless blocks, so function list could not show any text.
Recommended workaround to add some descriptive comment after begin word, e.g.
begin-program !my first app

Lets add new Group PROGRAMM and RegEx

and of course we need PROCEDURE group with 2 rules!
Rule 1.

Rule 2.

Press OK and enjoy with end result

Keywords for SQR have been taken here. Many thanks to Iouri Chadour!

Sincerely yours,
R

SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 20:34:00 +0000

In this morning’s keynote address at the Professional Association of SQL Server (PASS) Summit 2011, Quentin Clark (Corporate Vice President at Microsoft) announced that a preview of the Microsoft SQL Server ODBC Driver for Linux will soon be widely available to customers. Yes, you read that right. Microsoft plans to release a driver that provides 1st class access to SQL Server from Linux/Unix operating systems. Recently, Microsoft has been working closely with a handful of partners to get feedback on private releases of the driver. A publicly available preview release of the driver is planned for later this fall.

HOWTO list all my functions in CSharp (C#) using Reflection

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 20:49:00 +0000

It's easy to list all methods (functions) directly in C#, below you will find code sample:

If you are looking for static methods, you should replace BindingFlags.Instance with BindingFlags.Static
class Program

{

private int PrivateMethod() { return 0; }

protected bool ProtectedMethod() {return true; }

public void IAmFunction(object param1, Array param2) { }

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Type myType = typeof(Program);

// Get the public methods.

MethodInfo[] myMethods = myType.GetMethods(BindingFlags.Instance |

BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly|

BindingFlags.Public |

BindingFlags.NonPublic );

Console.WriteLine("i have found {0} methods of Type {1}: \n", myMethods.Length, myType.FullName);

// Display all the methods.

foreach (MethodInfo m in myMethods) {

Console.WriteLine("Name: {0}", m.Name);

Console.WriteLine("Return Type: {0}", m.ReturnType.ToString());

ParameterInfo[] parameters = m.GetParameters();

Console.WriteLine("I have {0} input parameter(s):", parameters.Length);

foreach (ParameterInfo pi in parameters) {

Console.WriteLine(" Name: {0}", pi.Name);

Console.WriteLine(" Type: {0}", pi.ParameterType.ToString());

Console.WriteLine("");

}

Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------\n");

}

Console.WriteLine("==========================================\n");

}

}

FunctionList and perl subs

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 13:20:00 +0000

I was not really happy how functionlist plugin lists perl subs by default.

Original settings

I have modified rules as you can see on picture below.

Modified regexp

Here is assumed, that sub word stays at the begin of string! (^sub).
You can remove ^ to accept all free-standing subs.

Specified cast is not valid at System.Linq.Enumerable. MoveNext

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 13:47:00 +0000

Yes, it's true. Pseudo-code below will not work with buildin types (int, long, double and so on) with InvalidCastException.

int[] a = new int[]{ 1, 2, 3 };

IEnumerable<double> d = a.Cast<double>();

foreach (double x in d) {

System.Console.WriteLine(x);

}
To resolve the issue you should rewrite second string with explicit cast as below

IEnumerable<double> d = a.Select(i => (double)i);

apache: .js is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!"

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 13:37:00 +0000

If appears in apache log the following message

apache: .js is not executable; ensure interpreted scripts have "#!"

you should modify config file and use Alias instead of ScriptAlias

Alias /appl/ "C:/xampp/appl/"
<Directory>
AllowOverride All
Options Indexes MultiViews +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.php
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

How to install DBD-ODBC on Windows

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 18:54:00 +0000

HOWTO list all my functions in CSharp (C#) using FunctionList

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 19:04:00 +0000

If you could not find your functions in the list from C# class, it is possible that not exists correct language parsing rule. Click on picture to zoom out it and create similar rule in "Language Parsing Rules" dialog. Add new group for C# language and name it METHOD.

Function Begin: \w*[\s\*]*

Function List Name: \w+\s*[\s\*]*

Function End: $.*$

Body Begin: \{

Body End: \}

Body Begin to Body End: \{

by the way you can use the same trick for Java language.

If you are looking for method list of class in C# check also here.
It will NOT help to folding and unfolding blocks of code like Eclipse, but you can quickly navigate through code.

Unicode

noreply@blogger.com (Ruslan) — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:23:00 +0000

Unicode is a computing industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world's writing systems. Developed in tandem with the Universal Character Set standard and published in book form as The Unicode Standard, Unicode consists of a repertoire of more than 100,000 characters, a set of code charts for visual reference, an encoding methodology and set of standard character encodings, an enumeration of character properties such as upper and lower case, a set of reference data computer files, and a number of related items, such as character properties, rules for normalization, decomposition, collation, rendering and bidirectional display order (for the correct display of text containing both right-to-left scripts, such as Arabic or Hebrew, and left-to-right scripts).[1]

The Unicode Consortium, the non-profit organization that coordinates Unicode's development, has the ambitious goal of eventually replacing existing character encoding schemes with Unicode and its standard Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) schemes, as many of the existing schemes are limited in size and scope and are incompatible with multilingual environments.

Unicode's success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software. The standard has been implemented in many recent technologies, including XML, the Java programming language, the Microsoft .NET Framework and modern operating systems.

Unicode can be implemented by different character encodings. The most commonly used encodings are UTF-8 (which uses 1 byte for all ASCII characters, which have the same code values as in the standard ASCII encoding, and up to 4 bytes for other characters), the now-obsolete UCS-2 (which uses 2 bytes for all characters, but does not include every character in the Unicode standard), and UTF-16 (which extends UCS-2, using 4 bytes to encode characters missing from UCS-2). More you find here.

It's used in Windows, X Windows and Mac OS X.
