Access to file denied in C# .NET 3.1 forms

Hello I was writing a basic text editor in C# on visual studio windows form using the .NET framework 3.1 long term support version everything worked fine until I wrote the save file script
Here's the code for "Form1.cs" which is where the open and save file functions reside
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Principal;
namespace Text_Editor
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
string locsave;
private void openbtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var identity = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent();
var principal = new WindowsPrincipal(identity);
if (principal.IsInRole(WindowsBuiltInRole.Administrator) != true)
{
MessageBox.Show("Run as Admin");
System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExitThread();
}
else
{
OpenFileDialog openfile = new OpenFileDialog();
if (openfile.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
var locationArray = openfile.FileName;
string location = "";
locsave = locationArray;
foreach (char peice in locationArray)
{
location = location + peice;
}
var contentArray = File.ReadAllText(location);
string content = "";
label4.Text = location;
foreach (char peice in contentArray)
{
content = content + peice;
}
richTextBox1.Text = content;
}
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Test");
}
private void savebtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (#label4.Text == "")
{
MessageBox.Show("Open a text file first");
}
else
{
StreamWriter outputfile = new StreamWriter(locsave);
outputfile.Write(richTextBox1.Text); //this is where the error occures and it throws the error of access denyed
outputfile.Close();
}
}
}
}
Does anyone have a suggestion about what to do I looked around on google for a solution but it seemed most did not work and some others I did not understand.

Vlc.dotnet.form pause video with a button

I am hoping someone can help me in getting an issue of mine to work, I feel as if it is an easy one, however not having any luck in fixing what I am trying to do. I want to be able to pause a video which I am playing using vlc.dotnet below is a brief summary of the structure of my code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Reflection;
using System.IO;
using Vlc.DotNet.Forms;
using System.Threading;
using Vlc.DotNet.Core;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace TS1_C
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
button8.Click += new EventHandler(this.button8_Click);
}
void listBox1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
string chosen = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
string final = selectedpath2 + "\\" + chosen; //Path
playfile(final);
}
void playfile(string final)
{
var control = new VlcControl();
var currentAssembly = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();
var currentDirectory = new FileInfo(currentAssembly.Location).DirectoryName;
// Default installation path of VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows
var libDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(currentDirectory, "libvlc", IntPtr.Size == 4 ? "win-x86" : "win-x64"));
control.BeginInit();
control.VlcLibDirectory = libDirectory;
control.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
control.EndInit();
panel1.Controls.Add(control);
control.Play();
}
private void button8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
As you can see I have one method which takes a double click from an item in a list box and plays it using the method playfile. However I want to be able to pause the video using my button known as button8. I have tried many things even this
control.Paused += new System.EventHandler<VlcMediaPlayerPausedEventArgs>(button8_Click);
Which I put into the playfile method, however nothing seems to work. I am wondering if my whole method in which I play a file using playfile(); is completely wrong. I am hoping someone can help me in trying to achieve what I need
Thank you

Your control should be initialized only once:
private VlcControl control;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
control = new VlcControl();
var currentAssembly = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly();
var currentDirectory = new FileInfo(currentAssembly.Location).DirectoryName;
// Default installation path of VideoLAN.LibVLC.Windows
var libDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(currentDirectory, "libvlc", IntPtr.Size == 4 ? "win-x86" : "win-x64"));
control.BeginInit();
control.VlcLibDirectory = libDirectory;
control.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
control.EndInit();
panel1.Controls.Add(control);
}
then, your play method could be simplified:
void playfile(string url)
{
control.Play(url);
}
And for your pause method:
private void button8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
control.Pause();
}

}
}
}
}
why doesnt the messagebox display?
ive tried most things and none work
Nothing happens the ui just shows and idk what to do\
please help me i need this for my project

if (cpuInfo == "") will always be true because the value doesn't change after initializing. The loop breaks before the MessageBox code is reached.
Remove break; to allow the code to continue, or
Use continue; instead to skip to the next value in the loop.

Send Print job from PuTTY to Zebra ZXP 3 SDK (non.zpl printer)

What I have is a medical record database that is accessed via PuTTY (SSH client). The cards themselves will only have Client name, record number in a barcode format (still determining the barcode type to be used), and client registration date.
1) We can get the data output as .zpl for Zebra Barcode label printers or formats compatible with laser printers like HP or Brother in a RAW format.
2) What output WILL the ZXP 3 SDK accept?
3) Can the SDK be set up to wait for and accept data coming at it using a command line from something like RedMon?
The cards themselves will only have the printed data, no mag stripe, smart chips, laminates or anything like that.
Mahalo in advance.

I would not recommend using either RedMon nor the SDK, as neither are required for what you are trying to do, and they both are time-vampires. Instead, I would write a small Windows Forms application which listens on a TCP port to receive the print job and send it to the standard printer which uses the Zebra driver.
Have the MUMPS application send an XML document via the Remote Print support in VT100. The example I have been using is below:
^[[5i
<patient>
<name first="John" last="Smith" />
<mrn>A04390503</mrn>
<dob>1991-03-12</dob>
</patient>
^[[4i
Configure a printer on the windows client to redirect to TCP/IP:
Add Printer
Local printer
Create a new port
Standard TCP/IP Port
Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port name: CardFormatter
Uncheck "Query the printer and automatically select the driver to use"
Device type: Custom
Protocol: Raw
Port: 9101
Driver: Generic / Text Only
Start the application at logon, and print from the server. The MUMPS application will send back the XML, which Putty prints to the Text printer, which gets sent to the C# application on localhost. The C# application interprets the XML and prints to the actual printer via the Zebra driver or SDK.
Note: This only assumes one interactive session per workstation. If you are using fast-user-switching or terminal services, further care must be taken to ensure things work properly.

Compress Audio upon writing to file

I am trying to create a recorder from audio coming out from soundcard and this is my progress so far, the problem is the recorded audio when saving to file is so large like a song can reach up to hundreds of megabyte.
here's my code
using NAudio.CoreAudioApi;
using NAudio.Wave;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace Record_From_Soundcard
{
public partial class frmMain : Form
{
private WaveFileWriter writer;
private WasapiLoopbackCapture waveInSel;
public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MMDeviceEnumerator deviceEnum = new MMDeviceEnumerator();
MMDeviceCollection deviceCol = deviceEnum.EnumerateAudioEndPoints(DataFlow.Render, DeviceState.Active);
cboAudioDrivers.DataSource = deviceCol.ToList();
}
private void btnStopRecord_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
waveInSel.StopRecording();
writer.Close();
}
private void btnStartRecord_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (SaveFileDialog _sfd = new SaveFileDialog())
{
_sfd.Filter = "Mp3 File (*.mp3)|*.mp3";
if (_sfd.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
{
MMDevice _device = (MMDevice)cboAudioDrivers.SelectedItem;
waveInSel = new WasapiLoopbackCapture(_device);
writer = new WaveFileWriter(_sfd.FileName, waveInSel.WaveFormat);
waveInSel.DataAvailable += (n, m) =>
{
writer.Write(m.Buffer, 0, m.BytesRecorded);
};
waveInSel.StartRecording();
}
}
}
}
}
can anyone help me on how to compress audio upon saving?
maybe it will be added on this part
waveInSel.DataAvailable += (n, m) =>
{
writer.Write(m.Buffer, 0, m.BytesRecorded);
};
Thanks in advance.. ;)

Try this using naudio dll
Using NAudio.Wave; Using NAudio.Wave.SampleProviders;Using NAudio.Lame
Private void WaveToMP3(int bitRate = 128){
String waveFileName = Application.StartupPath + #"\Temporal\mix.wav";
String mp3FileName = Application.StartupPath + #"\Grabaciones\ " + Strings.Format(DateTime.Now, "dd-MM-yyyy.HH.mm.ss") + ".mp3";
Using (var reader = New AudioFileReader(waveFileName))
{
Using (var writer = New LameMP3FileWriter(mp3FileName, reader.WaveFormat, bitRate))
{
reader.CopyTo(writer);
}
reader.Close();
}
}

You can't make an MP3 file by saving a WAV file with a .MP3 extension (which is what you are doing here). You will need to select an encoder available on your machine, and pass the audio through that. I go into some detail about how to do this with NAudio in this article.
