How to create an array and fill from tree node variable - c#

I'm trying to transfer data from a treenode (at least I think that's what it is) which contains much more data than I need. It would be very difficult for me to manipulate the data within the treenode. I would much rather have an array which provides me with only the necessary data for data manipulation.
I would like higher rates have following variables:
1. BookmarkNumber (integer)
2. Date (string)
3. DocumentType (string)
4. BookmarkPageNumberString (string)
5. BookmarkPageNumberInteger (integer)
I would like to the above defined rate from the data from variable book_mark (as can be seen in my code).
I've been wrestling with this for two days. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm probably sure that the question wasn't phrased correctly so please ask questions so that I may explain further if needed.
Thanks so much
BTW what I'm trying to do is create a Windows Form program which parses a PDF file which has multiple bookmarks into discrete PDF files for each bookmark/chapter while saving the bookmark in the correct folder with the correct naming convention, the folder and naming convention dependent upon the PDF name and title name of the bookmark/chapter being parsed.

Here's one way to parse a PDF and create a data structure similar to what you describe. First the data structure:
public class BookMark
{
static int _number;
public BookMark() { Number = ++_number; }
public int Number { get; private set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string PageNumberString { get; set; }
public int PageNumberInteger { get; set; }
public static void ResetNumber() { _number = 0; }
// bookmarks title may have illegal filename character(s)
public string GetFileName()
{
var fileTitle = Regex.Replace(
Regex.Replace(Title, #"\s+", "-"),
#"[^-\w]", ""
);
return string.Format("{0:D4}-{1}.pdf", Number, fileTitle);
}
}
A method to create a list of Bookmark (above):
List<BookMark> ParseBookMarks(IList<Dictionary<string, object>> bookmarks)
{
int page;
var result = new List<BookMark>();
foreach (var bookmark in bookmarks)
{
// add top-level bookmarks
var stringPage = bookmark["Page"].ToString();
if (Int32.TryParse(stringPage.Split()[0], out page))
{
result.Add(new BookMark() {
Title = bookmark["Title"].ToString(),
PageNumberString = stringPage,
PageNumberInteger = page
});
}
// recurse
if (bookmark.ContainsKey("Kids"))
{
var kids = bookmark["Kids"] as IList<Dictionary<string, object>>;
if (kids != null && kids.Count > 0)
{
result.AddRange(ParseBookMarks(kids));
}
}
}
return result;
}
Call method above like this to dump the results to a text file:
void DumpResults(string path)
{
using (var reader = new PdfReader(path))
{
// need this call to parse page numbers
reader.ConsolidateNamedDestinations();
var bookmarks = ParseBookMarks(SimpleBookmark.GetBookmark(reader));
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var bookmark in bookmarks)
{
sb.AppendLine(string.Format(
"{0, -4}{1, -100}{2, -25}{3}",
bookmark.Number, bookmark.Title,
bookmark.PageNumberString, bookmark.PageNumberInteger
));
}
File.WriteAllText(outputTextFile, sb.ToString());
}
}
The bigger problem is how to extract each Bookmark into a separate file. If every Bookmark starts a new page it's easy:
Iterate over the return value of ParseBookMarks()
Select a page range that begins with the current BookMark.Number, and ends with the next BookMark.Number - 1
Use that page range to create separate files.
Something like this:
void ProcessPdf(string path)
{
using (var reader = new PdfReader(path))
{
// need this call to parse page numbers
reader.ConsolidateNamedDestinations();
var bookmarks = ParseBookMarks(SimpleBookmark.GetBookmark(reader));
for (int i = 0; i < bookmarks.Count; ++i)
{
int page = bookmarks[i].PageNumberInteger;
int nextPage = i + 1 < bookmarks.Count
// if not top of page will be missing content
? bookmarks[i + 1].PageNumberInteger - 1
/* alternative is to potentially add redundant content:
? bookmarks[i + 1].PageNumberInteger
*/
: reader.NumberOfPages;
string range = string.Format("{0}-{1}", page, nextPage);
// DEMO!
if (i < 10)
{
var outputPath = Path.Combine(OUTPUT_DIR, bookmarks[i].GetFileName());
using (var readerCopy = new PdfReader(reader))
{
var number = bookmarks[i].Number;
readerCopy.SelectPages(range);
using (FileStream stream = new FileStream(outputPath, FileMode.Create))
{
using (var document = new Document())
{
using (var copy = new PdfCopy(document, stream))
{
document.Open();
int n = readerCopy.NumberOfPages;
for (int j = 0; j < n; )
{
copy.AddPage(copy.GetImportedPage(readerCopy, ++j));
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
The problem is that it's highly unlikely all bookmarks are going to be at the top of every page of the PDF. To see what I mean, experiment with commenting / uncommenting the bookmarks[i + 1].PageNumberInteger lines.

Demonstrating the contents of an array but it populates wrong numbers

I'm new to C#, and I am supposed to be demonstrating creating arrays and processing the contents of the arrays. Whenever I press calculate I get the same numbers every time. I am not sure what I am missing? I changed double to decimals thinking that might help change things, but no matter what I try to fix it still comes up the same. Any help in this is appreciated. I also had to save a .txt file into the same folder as the bin/debug for this project. Im instructed that this is supposed to read the files content into the array of double or decimal. the folder just has a few numbers with decimals (1260.07, etc)

Heres what populates every time.
The problem I think is with your error handling or the format of your document. Convert will actually throw an exception which will kill your entire loop if it cannot parse the current line. Say you had a simple line break in your file that created an empty line, you would try to parse it, an error is thrown, your code does nothing after it. Since I didnt have your file and I really do not feel like using visual studio instead of vscode, I replaced your streamreader with a stringreader (reads a string instead of a file but almost exactly the same) and i replaced the form with simple console writes. Outside of those changes, I gave myself some extra room in the array size since it was throwing exceptions and i wrapped the inside of the while loop in a try catch for format exceptions which is what Convert throws. After I made those changes, the outputs all worked properly. If you still dont see the values, then it is a problem with how you are using windows forms not your codes logic itself.
public static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
analyzeBtn_Click();

decimal minSales = Decimal.MaxValue;
decimal totalSales = 0;
try
{
StringReader dataStream = new StringReader(SalesTxt);
salesValue = dataStream.ReadLine();
var total = sales.Sum();
var average = sales.Average();
var high = sales.Max();
var low = sales.Min();
while (salesValue != null)
{
try {
sales[count] = Convert.ToDecimal(salesValue);
totalSales += sales[count];
if (sales[count] > maxSales)
maxSales = sales[count];
if (sales[count] < minSales)
minSales = sales[count];
count++;
} catch (FormatException) {Console.WriteLine("\tException: '"+ salesValue + "'"); }
salesValue = dataStream.ReadLine();
}
dataStream.Close();
string listItems = string.Join(",\n", sales);
Console.WriteLine(listItems);
Console.WriteLine(totalSales);
Console.WriteLine(maxSales);
Console.WriteLine(minSales);
} catch (Exception ex) {
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}
Output:

EDIT:
In light of discussion, I have moved the string into a file with the appropriate name and used StreamReader just as you originally did. Using the same code as above just slightly modified, I was still able to get the correct output.

The name 'Core' does not exist in the current context

I am new to Xamarin and I am following Xamarin University tutorial. Everything was working fine until I started running into the error core does not exist. I looked over an old question that was posted and I followed the instructions but this did not help me at all. I have posted the link to the old question below.

The problem has to do with xamarin, and nothing with the question you linked.
This is the reason for the error:
translatedNumber =
Core.PhonewordTranslator.ToNumber(phoneNumberText.Text);
Check your file PhoneTranslator.cs it. You need to rename the namespace.
Source:

For those people needing more information, this issue can be caused by not renaming the namespace in the PhoneTranslator.cs file to "Core".

Extract powerpoint titles with C#

I have powerponint 97-2003 files(.ppt extension) and I need to extract slide titles programatically using C#.
I have tried using Microsoft.Office.Interop but without success.
I have search with google and as a maximum I have found how to obtain reference to PowerPoint.Slide:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
using PowerPoint = Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint;
namespace Tester
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application presentationApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application();
try
{
string pptPath = #"D:\somefile.ppt";
TestReadingTitles(presentationApp, pptPath);
}
finally
{
presentationApp.Quit();
}
}
private static void TestReadingTitles(Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Application presentationApp, string pptPath)
{
presentationApp.Visible = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentations presentations = presentationApp.Presentations;
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState readOnly = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue;
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState untitled = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoTrue;
Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState withWindow = Microsoft.Office.Core.MsoTriState.msoFalse;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Presentation presentation = presentations.Open(pptPath, readOnly, untitled, withWindow);
for (int i = 0; i < presentation.Slides.Count; i++)
{
foreach (PowerPoint.Slide slide in presentation.Slides)
{
string slidetitle = ??????????????????;
}
}
}
}
}
You can extract the titles without looping through the shapes.
private static string ExtractSlideTitlefromSlide(Microsoft.Office.Interop.PowerPoint.Slide slide, string defaultValue)
{
if (slide.Shapes.HasTitle == Office.MsoTriState.msoTrue)
{
if (slide.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.HasText == Office.MsoTriState.msoTrue)
{
return slide.Shapes.Title.TextFrame.TextRange.Text;
}
}
return defaultValue;
}
I have no solution for direct extract slide titles from ppt. This is a workarround - first temproaly convert it into pptx and then extract titles using openxml.
For conversion from ppt to pptx I have used Microsoft Interop which I do not like but I have no better solution.

import named destinations in pdf

I m developing an application in which a word document is converted in pdf. My problem is too complicated please help me out.
My word doc has a toc, bookmarks, endnotes and hyperlinks. when I save this doc as pdf, only bookmarks are converted. After a long research I found that PDF documents does not support bookmark to bookmark hyperlinks, it needs either page number or named destinations.
So I choose named destinations for this purpose, but I am stuck again , because simple "save as" cannot generate named destinations in the pdf doc. So I print the word doc on adobe PDF printer and I got named destination as required, but again this document neither have bookmarks in it nor hyperlinks. so what I decided that I generate two pdf from a word, first by save as option and second one is by printing.
test.pdf (by save as) (contains bookmarks, hyperlinks)
test_p.pdf( by printing) (only contains named destination)
then I research ones again and found a way to extract all named destination from test_p.pdf into XML by a function of itextsharp.but unfortunately I dont get any way to import back this xml in test.pdf.. thats why I came here.
Guide me what to do next if this approach is ok. else suggest me any ohter approach to accomplish this mission.
I wrote a class to replace urls in my PDF files some times ago:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;
namespace ReplaceLinks
{
public class ReplacePdfLinks
{

To use it:
new ReplacePdfLinks
{
InputPdf = #"test.pdf",
OutputPdf = "mod.pdf",
UriToNamedDestination = uri =>
{
if (uri.Host.ToLowerInvariant().Contains("google.com"))
{
return "entry1";
}
return string.Empty;
}
}.Start();
This sample will modify all of the urls containing google.com to point to a specific named destination "entry1".
And this is the sample file to test the above class:
void WriteFile()
{
using (var doc = new Document(PageSize.LETTER))
{
using (var fs = new FileStream("test.pdf", FileMode.Create))
{
using (var writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, fs))
{
doc.Open();
var blueFont = FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 12, Font.NORMAL, BaseColor.BLUE);
doc.Add(new Chunk("Go to URL", blueFont).SetAction(new PdfAction("http://www.google.com/", false)));
doc.NewPage();
doc.Add(new Chunk("Go to Test", blueFont).SetLocalGoto("entry1"));
doc.NewPage();
doc.Add(new Chunk("Test").SetLocalDestination("entry1"));
doc.Close();
}
}
}
}

DownloadFileAsync multiple files using webclient

Description
Download multiple files using webclient's DownloadFileAsync and utilizing a text file for URL input for download.
Problem
The approach that I have used won't download files at all. Just runs and does nothing. It fills the list array then quits the program without downloading a single file. I have googled for solutions but come up shorthanded. Then attempted to search for a solution in the database here with same results. Any help is appreciated.
Questions
Why does this approach not work?
What can I do to improve this and learn from this.

Besides being bad design there are lots of issues that lead to your code not (or nor correctly working).
You need to make sure that you application lives while it downloads something. Your current app quits right away (you have to wait for the downloading to complete in your main).
You application may download the same file multiple times but not download others at all (You need to completely lock object when they are used in an async=multithreading way like here when accessing static objects) BTW: Don't use static objects at all to avoid that in the first place.
Even if 2 is corrected it may still download the same file multiple times into the same filename and thus fail.
As long as you have no knowledge about multithreading I'd recommend you use the synchoneous methods to avoid all those problems.
