I want to run the Skeinforge slicer program written in Python inside my Windows Phone 8 C# application. I have determined that I should probably use IronPython to do this, I have already determined that I can run Skeinforge inside the ipy.exe terminal I got when I installed IronPython. My problem though is that I am struggling to figure out how to host and run a Python script with IronPython inside Windows Phone 8. I have also already managed to get a simple hello world script running inside a Desktop Windows Forms application that transfers the applications console output to the Debug console with the following 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.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using IronPython.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
DebugWriter debugW = new DebugWriter();
Console.SetOut(debugW);
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("Test.py");
tw.Write(scriptBox.Text);
tw.Close();
try
{
var ipy = Python.CreateRuntime();
dynamic test = ipy.UseFile("Test.py");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Debug.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
And this is the DebugWriter:
class DebugWriter : TextWriter
{
private StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder();
public DebugWriter()
{
Debug.WriteLine("Writing console to debug");
}
public override void Write(char value)
{
base.Write(value);
if (value == '\n')
{
Debug.WriteLine(content.ToString());
content = new StringBuilder();
}
else
{
content.Append(value);
}
}
public override Encoding Encoding
{
get { return System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; }
}
}
I have no idea how to even add the IronPython libraries to my Windows Phone 8 application though as the standard libraries won't import. I have though tried compiling the apparently now defunct Windows Phone 7 libraries with the master source code and I can import these libraries, but I get absolutely no response on the debug terminal when I try to run my hello world script.
Do any of you have any idea how to get this woring in Windows Phone 8, if you know how to do this in Windows 8/Metro/RT then that would also probably work for WP8.
UPDATE:
I have looked at the debug output again and I seem to get this error when trying to use the WP7 libraries to run a hello world script:
A first chance exception of type 'System.NotImplementedException' occurred in Microsoft.Scripting.DLL
Error: The method or operation is not implemented.
I managed to get Skeinforge running on a modified version of IPY. You can get the source for my application here: http://skeinforgewp8.codeplex.com/

Using Xamarin.Forms I have my main application running Forms. But I have Mapbox Navigation which is Xamarin.Android that I am using, I ma trying to open the navigation from Forms so I am doing the following:
FORMS CODE
public interface INavigation
{
void StartNativeIntentOrActivity();
}
The void above is then called through DependencyService in Forms
XAMARIN.ANDROID Code
using Android.Content;
using MapleLMCApp.Classes;
using MapleLMCApp.Droid;
using MapleLMCApp.Droid.NavigationUI;
using System;
using Xamarin.Forms;
[assembly: Xamarin.Forms.Dependency(typeof(NavInitializer))]
namespace MapleLMCApp.Droid
{
class NavInitializer : INavigation
{
public void StartNativeIntentOrActivity()
{
//Begin Navigation Form
try
{
var intent = new Intent(Android.App.Application.Context, typeof(EmbeddedNavigationActivity));
intent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
Android.App.Application.Context.StartActivity(intent);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
LogFileCreation lg = new LogFileCreation();
lg.CreateLog(ex.ToString(), "NAV Initilizer Error");
}
}
}
}
The above works perfectly in the emulator for API <28 and API >28
The second I try the code above on my Huawei P30 Pro the second the new activity appears the App restarts itself or auto closes...
Any ideas on what might be causing this? some security setting or Manifest property that needs to be set or something along those lines?
There is a fetchRoute() event that starts as the new activity opens. This has an error on the P30 Pro due to culture variants on double parse...It was attempting to parse 27,33 as a double and needed to be 27.33
The form now opens without any issues
I have written a code in c++ and c# . From my c++ code i am calling my c# function through. I have sent just a part of c++ code.
txtPath contains the location of a text file.
C++ code:
CoInitialize(NULL);
IMyClassPtr obj3;
obj3.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Program));
obj3->Validation(txtPath);
CoUninitialize();
Validation() is my c# function.
My c# code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace ABC
{
[ComVisible(true)]
public interface IMyClass
{
void Validation(string txtp);
}
[ComVisible(true)]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class Program : IMyClass
{
private string replace_string(string text)
{
return text.Replace("\r\a", "");
}
public void Validation(string txtp)
{
string[] textValidate = File.ReadAllLines(txtp);
string textpath = txtp;
//validation starts here
foreach (string line in textValidate)
{
string[] strsplit = line.Split(new string[] { "," }, StringSplitOptions.None);
string task = strsplit[0];
string sign = strsplit[1];
string person = strsplit[2];
string routing = strsplit[3];
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(task) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(sign) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(person))
{
//if the txt file is invalid
MessageBox.Show("Signature.txt is incomplete or has invalid input!!!");
}
}
}
}
}
I have done all the required setting in c# .C# settings snapshot C# project is a class library. My code was working perfectly in 32 bit machine. I was using the generated tlb in other systems by registering it with regasm.exe.
In 64 bit machine by c++ code is working but when the c# linking code is hit the execution stops without throwing any error. I am using a 64 bit machine and created a new project with the same code. Help Please
Make you're using the correct version of 'regasm.exe' for your target platform (i.e. "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\RegAsm.exe"). Take note of 'Framework64'.
On 64-bit Windows, Microsoft does not support loading a 64-bit DLL into a 32-bit process, or vice-versa. For additional information, please refer to the following resource on MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384231(VS.85).aspx
I am trying to connect to R from c# using the following code. It looks like C# is not reading the R dll files. My R installation directory is this:
C:\Users\R-2-13\R-2.13.0\bin\i386
and I also downloaded and put the R.NET.dll in the same directory. In Visual Studio, I set the reference to R.NET.dll file. When I run the following code, the code goes the the catch section "unable to find the R Installation". Any ideas? Has anybody got this working?
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using RDotNet;
namespace RNet_Calculator
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
// set up basics and create RDotNet instance
// if anticipated install of R is not found, ask the user to find it.
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
bool r_located = false;
while (r_located == false)
{
try
{
REngine.SetDllDirectory(#"C:\Users\R-2-13\R-2.13.0\bin\i386");
REngine.CreateInstance("RDotNet");
r_located = true;
}
catch { MessageBox.Show(#"Unable to find R installation's \bin\i386 folder. Press OK to attempt to locate it.");
MessageBox.Show("error");
}
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
This is http://rdotnet.codeplex.com/ (RDotNet) to develop Winform applications. While I know Shiny and all the other Web-like R-tools quite well, the combination of c# and R still is my preferred end-user combinations. Try simple things like disabling buttons with Shiny...
Too bad rdotnet is quite buggy; in the current version, it crashes on R exeptions, even in try-catched ones.
This said: please make absolutely sure that you use version 1.5, not the stupidly called "stable" (=early beta) version on the page. Best download it via NuGet. Also check if you did not mix 32bit R with 64 bit c#.
Using the Helper-functions of 1.5, initialization is:
Helper.SetEnvironmentVariables();
engine = REngine.CreateInstance(EngineName);
engine.Initialize();
# Assuming you want to catch the graphic window, use my RGraphAppHook
# on the rdotnet site http://rdotnet.codeplex.com/workitem/7
cbt = new RGraphAppHook { GraphControl = GraphPanelControl };
I am a total beginner at C#, but I have used Java a lot. I am trying to use the following code in my app to get location data. I am making a Windows 8 desktop app to use the GPS sensor in my device:
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 Windows.Devices.Sensors;
using Windows.Devices.Geolocation;
using Windows.Devices.Geolocation.Geoposition;
using Windows.Foundation;
namespace Hello_Location
{
public partial class Form1 :
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
async private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Geolocator loc = new Geolocator();
try
{
loc.DesiredAccuracy = PositionAccuracy.High;
Geoposition pos = await loc.GetGeopositionAsync();
var lat = pos.Coordinate.Latitude;
var lang = pos.Coordinate.Longitude;
Console.WriteLine(lat+ " " +lang);
}
catch (System.UnauthorizedAccessException)
{
// handle error
}
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
I get this error:
'await' requires that the type
'Windows.Foundation.IAsyncOperation'
have a suitable GetAwaiter method. Are you missing a using directive
for 'System'? C:\Users\clidy\documents\visual studio
2012\Projects\Hello-Location\Hello-Location\Form1.cs
How can I fix this?
Also it will be very useful if you can point me to some resources for C# location and the sensor API for windows desktop apps. Upon googling, I am only getting Windows RT APIs.
To fix your error you have to reference to the link that Bart gave in one of the question's comments.
You might need to add a reference to System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll
as well if you are using mapped types like Windows Runtime event
handlers:
...
That assembly resides in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference
Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETCore\v4.5
I recently found a "solution" for a similar question: C# desktop application doesn't share my physical location. Maybe you might be interested by my approach: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14645837/674700.
It's more like a workaround and it's not targeting Windows 8, but it works in the end.
alex's solution works!
add that reference and geolocation api starts working like a charm! so do async methods for other sensors!
here is a function i just got working using it.
async public void UseGeoLocation()
{
Geolocator _GeoLocator = new Geolocator();
Geoposition _GeoPosition =
await _GeoLocator.GetGeopositionAsync();
Clipboard.Clear();
Clipboard.SetText("latitude," +
_GeoPosition.Coordinate.Latitude.ToString() +
"," + "longitude," + _GeoPosition.Coordinate.Longitude.ToString() +
"," + "heading," + _GeoPosition.Coordinate.Heading.ToString() +
"," + "speed," + _GeoPosition.Coordinate.Speed.ToString());
Application.Exit();
}
I am using visual studio 2010 AddIn template for ArcGis 10.0. Since I already wrote a python code for ArcGIS processing. I would like to insert a button into the ArcMap desktop command bar running this python code. Following is my simplized c# code and the beginning of python code for your reference:
c# code:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.VisualBasic;
namespace CallPython
{
public class CallPython : ESRI.ArcGIS.Desktop.AddIns.Button
{
public CallPython()
{
}
public string inputName()
{
string inputNames;
inputNames = "cavert.shp";
return inputNames;
}
protected override void OnClick()
{
inputName();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
"D:\\From2\\BCAP\\python\\scripts\\trans5.py");
}
protected override void OnUpdate()
{
Enabled = ArcMap.Application != null;
}
}
}
Python code:
import arcpy
import os, win32com.client
from arcpy import env
arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = True
# Set environment settings
env.workspace = "D:/BCAP/trans/tempt/"
# Set local variables
vs_method_source = os.path.abspath("D:/Users/mar/CallPython/CallPython.cs")
vs_file_name = os.path.abspath("D:/Users/mar/CallPython/CallPython.sln")
vs = win32com.client.Dispatch("VisualStudio.DTE.7.1")
doc_template = vs.Documents.Open(vs_file_name)
mm = doc_template.CallPython.inputName() #CallPython is namespace, inputName is method
The last line of python code is the problem. I know it is definitely not right, but didn't know how to access C# namespace, class, then method from python.
