C# Web Reference - ArrayOfString not serialising

I am using Web References in C# to interface with Magento, which uses a SOAP API. The WSDL contains lots of definitions as you can imagine, but I'm having a problem with this particular one:
<complexType name="ArrayOfString">
<complexContent>
<restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:string[]"/>
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
Any propertes of a method that are an ArrayOfString are being brought back to my code as string[], which is fine, but when serialising it back to Magento it's serialising it as below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:Magento" xmlns:types="urn:Magento/encodedTypes" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<tns:catalogProductCreate>
<sessionId xsi:type="xsd:string">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</sessionId>
<type xsi:type="xsd:string">simple</type>
<set xsi:type="xsd:string">63</set>
<sku xsi:type="xsd:string">CHRISTEST</sku>
<productData href="#id1" />
</tns:catalogProductCreate>
<tns:catalogProductCreateEntity id="id1" xsi:type="tns:catalogProductCreateEntity">
<categories href="#id2" />
<websites href="#id3" />
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">Chris Test 8</name>
<description xsi:type="xsd:string">fsd</description>
<short_description xsi:type="xsd:string">Chris Test 8</short_description>
<weight xsi:type="xsd:string">0.0000</weight>
<status xsi:type="xsd:string">1</status>
<visibility xsi:type="xsd:string">1</visibility>
<category_ids href="#id4" />
<website_ids href="#id5" />
<price xsi:type="xsd:string">0.00000</price>
<tax_class_id xsi:type="xsd:string">4</tax_class_id>
<tier_price href="#id6" />
</tns:catalogProductCreateEntity>
<soapenc:Array id="id2" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[0]" />
<soapenc:Array id="id3" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[0]" />
<soapenc:Array id="id4" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[1]">
<Item>35</Item>
</soapenc:Array>
<soapenc:Array id="id5" soapenc:arrayType="xsd:string[1]">
<Item>1</Item>
</soapenc:Array>
<soapenc:Array id="id6" soapenc:arrayType="tns:catalogProductTierPriceEntity[0]" />
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
And this is resulting in the arrays being ignored. I believe the reason the ArrayOfString entity isn't being added to my service model is because it has a 'restriction', but I'm going to need this to get the data back to Magento. Any ideas guys?

Facebook OAuth Redirects and Custom App URL Scehem

I'm trying to get Facebook to redirect back to my Unity application (running on android) after a call to https://facebook.com/v2.8/dialog/oauth. I've created a custom URL scheme in my android app like myApp://. However, when I attempt to send the OAuth request through to facebook, it tells me that the redirect_uri is not supported. I've tried to add my custom URL to my Facebook app's OAuth settings, but it says it is not a valid URL (which makes sense, as it's technically not).
The request:
var url = string.Format("https://facebook.com/v2.8/dialog/oauth?client_id={0}&response_type=token&redirect_uri={1}", "MYAPPID", "redfish%3A%2F%2Ffacebooklogin");
My app's AndroidManifest.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<application android:icon="#drawable/app_icon" android:label="#string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="#string/app_name" android:launchMode="singleTask" android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen" android:screenOrientation="sensor">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="redfish" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Code for catching the redirect in unity:
public class OnAcessToken : MonoBehaviour {
void OnAccessToken(string accessToken)
{
Debug.Log("Received access token: " + accessToken);
SceneManager.LoadScene("FileSelect");
}
}
The class OnAccessToken is hit using a custom library generated by the instructions at http://oferei.com/2013/06/serverless-instagram-authentication/.
What I'm asking is how to I get Facebook to allow my custom URL scheme as a valid redirect_uri? Or am I going about this the wrong way.

Ended up answering my own question with some additional research. Using a custom URL schema for android isn't necessary, and according to Google, the practice of using something like myApp:// is being deprecated.
Instead, my schema is now http://myApp.auth, and the corresponding intent filter looks like this:
<intent-filter>
<data android:scheme="http"
android:host="redfish.auth/>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter>
Now, in Facebook's settings, I can set http://redfish.auth as an acceptable OAuth URL, and it won't complain since it has the http schema. This overrides the host rather than the schema, so it works in Chromium browsers (previously did not because of the aforementioned Chrome standards).
So, when I make a call to http://redfish.auth/facebooklogin, it redirects back to my app!

Update lucene search index in sitecore

I have defined lucene search index in sitecore 7.2 initial release. it's working fine but it did not updates itself on publish. although i have defined index updated both "OnPublishEndAsynchronousStrategy" & "RebuildAfterFullPublishStrategy" strategy as below.
<strategies hint="list:AddStrategy">
<strategy ref="contentSearch/indexUpdateStrategies/onPublishEndAsync" />
</strategies>
but it did not updates on publish a single item in smart publish.
I also have an alternative to rebuild index on publish from code
Sitecore.ContentSearch.ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("SearchIndexName").Rebuild();
but it's seems not a proper / efficient way to this.

Product LaunchCondition in WiX if no RegistryValue or RegistryValue is below 1.3.44

(I need to get this to work for the Product / .msi directly, not by using Bundle / Burn.)
(I am using WiX 3.6.)
Fragment that puts a registry value into a variable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Wix xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" xmlns:util="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/UtilExtension">
<?include $(sys.CURRENTDIR)Deployment\Data\Statics.wxi ?>
<Fragment>
<util:RegistrySearch Root="HKCU" Key="$(var.Line.Reg.Path)" Value="Version" Variable="AppAlreadyInstalled" />
</Fragment>
</Wix>
Main product with non-working condition
<Product Name="$(var.App.Title)" Manufacturer="!(loc.Company)" Language="!(loc.Lang)" Id="*" Version="$(var.VersionNumber)" UpgradeCode="$(var.App.UpgradeCode)">
<Package Id="*" InstallerVersion="300" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="$(var.App.Elevation)" InstallPrivileges="limited" />
<DirectoryRef Id="TARGETDIR" />
<MajorUpgrade Schedule="afterInstallValidate" DowngradeErrorMessage="!(loc.Msi.NewerVersionInstalled)" />
<Property Id='DiskPrompt' Value="$(var.App.Title) Installation Media" />
<Media Id="1" Cabinet="Media.cab" EmbedCab="yes" DiskPrompt="#1" />
<Icon Id="AppIcon" SourceFile="$(var.Icon.Path)" />
<Condition Message="Newer version already installed.">
<![CDATA[Installed OR AppAlreadyInstalled]]>
</Condition>
<Feature Id="ProductFeature" Level="1">
...
</Feature>
</Product>
I believe AppAlreadyInstalled is never set at the moment because it is in a fragment in a different file.
Then I actually want the installation to proceed if the registry value is NOT found at all / does not exist.
But if it does it exist, I would like the installation to proceed only if the registry value is below a certain value e.g. proceed with installation only if AppAlreadyInstalled < 1.3.44; this sounds hard to achieve because the registry value is stored as a string with two full-stops / periods.
Note the registry check is not of the application to-be-installed, which is already taken care of by DowngradeErrorMessage.

WixUtilExtension:RegistrySearch is only for bundles. You need a plain RegistrySearch in the WiX namespace. You can use RegistrySearchRef to pull in a RegistrySearch from a separate fragment.
However, you're right that a version comparison is problematic: MSI does ordinal string comparisons so 1.2 > 1.10. If the install directory is in the registry, you might be better off using a RegistrySearch combined with a DirectorySearch and a FileSearch. FileSearch can search by version using the MinVersion attribute so if there's a file with a version you can use to detect the product, it'll be more reliable than string comparisons.

How to get the list of scheduled tasks using c#?

I need to get the list of scheduled tasks that are present in the local computer.
How can I achieve that using c# for Windows XP?

1 alternative...:
1) you can read from the folder where task are saved ( Ive just tested it - win7)
c:\Windows\System32\Tasks\
this is simple xml file like this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<Task version="1.2" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task">
