Stanford NLP Lexparser loadModel()

I'm currently using the below C# code to create my Lexparser with success:
return LexicalizedParser.loadModel(projectDir + #"StanfordResources/lexparser/englishPCFG.ser.gz");
But due to deployment reasons I would rather embed the 'englishPCFG.ser.gz' file as some sort of resource either into the assembly or as a Resource.resx.
So I try to read my byte[] file as so:
ObjectInputStream stream = new ObjectInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(Resource.englishPCFG_ser));
return LexicalizedParser.loadModel(stream);
But I get the below error:
java.io.StreamCorruptedException: invalid stream header: 1F8B0800
Is there another way to load this rather than from a file path or am I doing a silly?

1F8B0800 is the GZIP header, which makes sense, given the name of the file you're trying to read. So you need to put java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream between the ByteArrayInputStream and ObjectInputStream:
new ObjectInputStream(new GZIPInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(Resource.englishPCFG_ser)))

Loading XML file from UNC Path not working propertly

I want to load an XML file located on my server so I can get the value of the XML Element called "CheckInterval" and store it on a string called "NewIntervalSet".
I am loading the following XML file called "ConfigFile.xml".
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Cart>
<CartConfiguration>
<CheckInterval>0.25</CheckInterval>
</CartConfiguration>
</Cart>
The way that I am loading it is the following:
XElement xelement;
xelement = XElement.Load(Path.Combine("\\\\server\\public\\Engineering","ConfigFile.xml"));
The way that I'm storing the XML element "CheckInterval" into the string "NewIntervalSet" is the following:
string NewIntervalSet;
NewIntervalSet=xelement.Descendants("CartConfiguration")
.Select(x => x.Element("CheckInterval").Value).FirstOrDefault();
When I place a breakpoint where the file is being loaded I can see that the file is loading correctly, so I know the path is right, but when it tries to select the XML element it skips this line of code and it returns a null value, therefore a null string on the "NewIntervalSet" variable. I have no idea why is doing this, when I use the same code but the path is on the local machine it works correct.

Your program may be running into a permissions issue. According to MSDN, XElement creates by calling XmlReader.Create, which in turn has the following to say
A default XmlUrlResolver with no credentials is used to access any
external resources such as a document type definition (DTD), entities,
schemas, and so on. If the external resource is located on a network
resource that requires authentication, specify an XmlResolver with the
necessary credentials using the XmlReaderSettings.XmlResolver
property.
Since your XML document is located on a network path, it's using default/null credentials, causing it to get no read permissions and an empty document. Try opening the file as a stream so you can make a run where it reads out text, and then pipe that stream into a new XElement using this overload. Alternatively, instantiate the XmlResolver yourself so you can set the credentials.

I fix this problem by loading the XML file as an XDocument and not as an XElement. The new way that I'm loading the XML file is the following:
XDocument xDocument;
xDocument= XDocument.Load(Path.Combine("\\\\server\\public\\Engineering","ConfigFile.xml"));

ReadXml from a Resource - Explanation

I've been working on a project (C#) and part of it was filling a data grid with an embedded xml file.
Although I've now found a way to make this work, i am still confused as to to theory behind it. And I'd like to stop and make sure i fully understand it before i continue with this project.
The code that i have working currently is;
XmlDataDocument myXML = new XmlDataDocument();
StringReader mytempXML = (new StringReader(BasicTest.Properties.Resources.myxml));
myXML.DataSet.ReadXml(mytempXML);
What is confusing to me is that before this solution, I was trying the below;
myXML.DataSet.ReadXml(BasicTest.Properties.Resources.myxml);
and it wasn't working. However using the full file path (like below) was working.
myXML.DataSet.ReadXml("C:/..etc../myxml.xml");
The Question I have is: why is a StringReader required for the ReadXml method if you're reading from a resource, but using a full file path works without?
If anyone could provide an explanation, that would be great.
Thanks.

This is because the ReadXml method takes a string. That string must be the name of a file. It cannot be XML. If you pass it a string that is XML, it will think that is the name of the file! It doesn't have the smarts to look at the string and ask "Is this string XML, or is it a file name?" and figure that out.
// Summary:
// Reads XML schema and data into the System.Data.DataSet using the specified
// file.
//
// Parameters:
// fileName:
// The filename (including the path) from which to read.
public XmlReadMode ReadXml(string fileName);
By wrapping the XML in a stringreader or a stream or something, you are calling a different overload, that expects XML instead of a file name.

Sending input type file by form submit in IE9 is not working?

I am trying to upload a file by file type html input.
after clicking on submit button. Response reached to ASP.NET home.aspx file
There coded following C# code..
string root = "C:\\uploaded\\";
root +=Request["fileName"];
var buffer = new byte[Request.Files[0].InputStream.Length];
Request.InputStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(root, buffer);
Above code is creating file on given path but file is corrupted..
How can solve this problem?

First of all always try to use System.IO.Path to play with file path. In your example use System.IO.Path.Combine to combine root and file name. This is tip and not related to your question. Talking abt your question use
Request.Files[0].SaveAs(root);

Invalid Assembly XML File

I am trying to read the XML Documentation file (C#) using this ocde -
Type classType = typeof(Point);
string documentationFileLocation = classType.Assembly.CodeBase;
if ( !string.IsNullOrEmpty(documentationFileLocation) && documentationFileLocation.StartsWith("file:///") )
{
documentationFileLocation = documentationFileLocation.Replace(".exe",".xml");
documentationFileLocation = documentationFileLocation.Replace("file:///","");
if(File.Exists(documentationFileLocation))
{
XElement document = XElement.Load(documentationFileLocation);
// Some Code Logic Here using LINQ
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Please Go to Project Properties->Build and check 'XML Documentation file'");
I have a LINQ Query after XElement document = XElement.Load(sr) which dosen`t work,
So I put a breakpoint in the LINQ Query and I am getting this error -
XmlException - Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
How I can fix it?
Edit:Changed the code a little - just deleted StreamReader

Well, it sounds like it simply isn't a valid XML file.
If you print out the result of sr.ReadToEnd() instead of calling XElement.Load, what does it look like? If you try to load the file into an XML editor, what happens?
Btw, it's better to use a using statement than calling Dispose explicitly: with your current code, the StreamReader isn't disposed if Load throws an exception.
Finally, is there any reason you're not just using XElement.Load(documentationFileLocation)?

Have you tried XDocument.Load() instead of using XElement? If the file begins with an XML declaration <?xml ..., you might get this error when trying to load an element from it.
Edit: the file you pasted on pastebin has no encoding specified. Can you try to open this file in notepad and re-save it as ANSI, the see if it loads? Just to make sure that we don't have an encoding or BOM problem.
