Beware of recursion on getter/setter methods

Question Received:

      The Application is not responding apparently.

Solution:

     Check the code for any defects like recursion in the statement and methods.
     Defect I have found from the getter/setter methods.
     private string _mail;
     public string Mail

     {

          get

          {

               return _mail;

          }

          set

          {

              if(condition)

              {

                   Mail="mail@daemon.com";

              }

          }
     }
     public DataSource()

     {

          Mail="mail@daemon.com";

     }

[Note:]
The culprit is,
       In setter method, Mail="mail@daemon.com" makes it call the setter method recursively.

rmdir command for removing directories[Force Mode]

Questions Received:

        I cannot delete a folder which says, "Access is denied" while trying to delete it thru
GUI mode or thru Command Prompt.

Solution:

       Change the permissions for directories by using the commands,
                           * cacls.exe

                           * icacls.exe

Cacls.exe

   [NOTE:] i. Cacls is now deprecated, please use Icacls.
                ii. Wildcards can be used to specify more than one file in a command.
                    You can specify more than one user in a command.

Description:
        Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files
Syntax:
 CACLS filename [/T] [/M] [/L] [/S[:SDDL]] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm]
        [/R user [...]] [/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
    filename      Displays ACLs.
    /T            Changes ACLs of specified files in
                  the current directory and all subdirectories.
    /L            Work on the Symbolic Link itself versus the target
    /M            Changes ACLs of volumes mounted to a directory
    /S            Displays the SDDL string for the DACL.
    /S:SDDL       Replaces the ACLs with those specified in the SDDL string
                  (not valid with /E, /G, /R, /P, or /D).
    /E            Edit ACL instead of replacing it.
    /C            Continue on access denied errors.
    /G user:perm  Grant specified user access rights.
                  Perm can be: R  Read
                               W  Write
                               C  Change (write)
                               F  Full control
    /R user       Revoke specified user's access rights (only valid with /E).
    /P user:perm  Replace specified user's access rights.
                  Perm can be: N  None
                               R  Read
                               W  Write
                               C  Change (write)
                               F  Full control
    /D user       Deny specified user access.

iCacls.exe

 
ICACLS name /save aclfile [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    stores the DACLs for the files and folders that match the name
    into aclfile for later use with /restore. Note that SACLs,
    owner, or integrity labels are not saved.

ICACLS directory [/substitute SidOld SidNew [...]] /restore aclfile
                 [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    applies the stored DACLs to files in directory.

ICACLS name /setowner user [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    changes the owner of all matching names. This option does not
    force a change of ownership; use the takeown.exe utility for
    that purpose.

ICACLS name /findsid Sid [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    finds all matching names that contain an ACL
    explicitly mentioning Sid.

ICACLS name /verify [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    finds all files whose ACL is not in canonical form or whose
    lengths are inconsistent with ACE counts.

ICACLS name /reset [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
    replaces ACLs with default inherited ACLs for all matching files.

ICACLS name [/grant[:r] Sid:perm[...]]
       [/deny Sid:perm [...]]
       [/remove[:g|:d]] Sid[...]] [/T] [/C] [/L] [/Q]
       [/setintegritylevel Level:policy[...]]

Say,
To delete the victim folder,
       cacls <FilePath> /T /C /E /G User:Perm
Example, cacls "C:\Folder\*.*" /T /C /E /G User:<F|N|RX|W|R>
And, rmdir /s /d "C:\Folder"

Installation Tips

Issue:

    To guide the installation.

Steps:

    i. If setup is multiple files like (Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3….), we can put it in the 
    common folder. So that the installer will not prompt for the new CD during installation.

    iii. When you uninstall a software which is not having the entry in the 
    ‘Program and Features’, You need to delete that package/folder and clean the 
    related component. Fix registry issues or values with ‘CCleaner’. If issues remains
    persisting, go Registry Editor by typing the command ‘regedit’, manually clean the 
    component entry. But You need to backup the changes before changing the Registry.

How to extract and run a jar file:

Steps:

   i. Install the JDK in the Machine
   ii. Set the path of JDK to JAVA_HOME
   iii. Set JAVA_HOME=”address of the folder wherein  ‘bin’ folder exists”
   iv. Check whether it has been created in Environment Variables. Or, you should manually enter path
   for the JAVA_HOME on that.

   v. Check this by the command
      echo %JAVA_HOME%
   vi Check whether the JAVA is configured by the command.
       %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java –version
       %JAVA_HOME%\bin\java –jar <executable jar file>

creating and consuming Web Service

Steps:

     i. Start the new Web Service project.
     ii. Create the web methods and private stubs which can be accessed only by the web service.
     iii. Build the Service in the release mode.
     iv. Host the Service in the IIS Web Server(IIS 7.0)
     v. Host by,
               a. Go-->Run-->inetmgr.exe
               b. Go--><Machine Name>-->Sites-->DefaultWebSites
               c. Right Click on DefaultWebsites, select 'AddApplication'
               d. Give WebService name and Path where the 'bin' folder is located
               e. Click OK.
               f. Refresh and start the IIS Web Server once.

               a. Go-->Sites-->DefaultWebsites--><ServiceName>
               b. Right Click and refresh(if needed), select 'Browse' it will redirect to web service.
     vii. If still not working, check default sites or document,
           for actual service say, service.asmx having business logic(center pane).
     viii. Else, add it manally to default documents.
     ix. Now, Web Service is ready.

Building a wrapper around it, say 'Consumer' for web Service:

     Wrapper for web service can be,
              * Windows application
              * Web application
     Thru Windows application:
              a. Add the Web Service to web reference, use it in the windows client.

              a. Add the Web Service to web reference, use it the web client.

[Note:]

      Publishing the web service (say, release mode) to the respective repository is a good practice.

To Publish the Web service to a common resp. directory,

      i. In MS Visual Studio 2008, Go-->Build-->Publish <Project Name>
      ii. Follow the prompt, lead you to publish the service in the common directory.
