Availble from (hopefully) December 2010

Change the following code to what you require

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
	<configSections>
		<sectionGroup name="LDAP">
			<section name="Connection" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System,Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
			<section name="Directory" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System,Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
			<section name="Misc" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System,Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
		</sectionGroup>
	</configSections>

	<LDAP>
		<Connection>
			<add key="Server" value="ServerName" />
			<add key="OU" value="OU=Users,DC=Test,DC=Local" />
			<add key="Username" value="ServerUsername" />
			<add key="Password" value="ServerPassword" />
			<add key="DomainRoot" value="Test.Local" />
		</Connection>

		<Directory>
			<add key="HomeDirectoryPath" value="\\Test\Users\" />
			<add key="HomeDrive" value="U" />
		</Directory>

		<Misc>
			<add key="Email" value="@test.com" />
		</Misc>
	</LDAP>
</configuration>

C# Code

The code below does not require changing as it uses the code above

//  App.config
private NameValueCollection LdapConnectionConfig = (NameValueCollection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("Ldap/Connection");
private NameValueCollection LdapDirectoryConfig = (NameValueCollection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("Ldap/Directory");
private NameValueCollection LdapMiscConfig = (NameValueCollection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("Ldap/Misc");

public CreateUser(string username, string forename, string surname) {
	try
	{
		//  Create Connection to LDAP
		using (PrincipalContext principalContext = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, LdapConnectionConfig["Server"], LdapConnectionConfig["OU"]))
		{
			//  Create User Object to Check Already Exist
			using (UserPrincipal userPrincipal = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(principalContext, username))
			{
				if (userPrincipal == null)
				{
					//  Create User Object - Setting Username, Password and Enabling Account
					using (UserPrincipal user = new UserPrincipal(principalContext, username, "xxxx1111!", true))
					{
						//  Assign Properties to User
						user.GivenName = forename;
						user.Surname = surname;
						user.DisplayName = forename + " " + surname;  //  Forename Surname
						user.Name = forename + " " + surname;  //  Forename Surname
						user.EmailAddress = username + LdapMiscConfig["Email"];  //  jdoe@test.com
						user.HomeDirectory = LdapDirectoryConfig["HomeDirectoryPath"] + username;  //  C:\Files\USERNAME, \\Server\Files\Username
						user.HomeDrive = LdapDirectoryConfig["HomeDrive"];  //  U:\
						user.UserPrincipalName = username + LdapConnectionConfig["DomainRoot"];  //  jdoe@test.local

						//  User Must Change Password as First Logon
						user.ExpirePasswordNow();

						//  Save User
						user.Save();
					}
				}
			}
		}

		return true;
	}
	catch (PrincipalException e)
	{
		return false;
	}
}

It took me four attempts to get the following code right. The code calls a webservice created in ASP.net C#.

code

new Request.JSON({
	headers: { ‘Accept’: ‘application/json’, ‘X-Request’: ‘JSON’, ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’ },
	urlEncoded: false,
	url: "WEBSERVICE URL",  //  webservice/method
	method: ‘post’,
	//  The values on the left hand side of the colon must match that of the parameters of the webservice
	data: JSON.encode({ value1 : $(‘VALUE1′).get(‘value’), value1 : ‘VALUE2′ }),
	onSuccess: function (responseJSON, responseText) {
		/*
		DO SOMETHING
		*/
	}
}).send();

//  Change connectionString as requried
static string connectionString = "Data Source=SERVER;Initial Catalog=DATABASE;User ID=USERNAME;Password=PASSWORD;";
static string sql = "SELECT * FROM STUDENTS WHERE SetID = @DataSet";

the method

you can use either pieces of code

code 1

public static object[] GetStudents(string dataset)
{
	ArrayList temp = new ArrayList();

	using (SqlConnection sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
	{
		using (SqlCommand sqlCommand = new SqlCommand(sql, sqlConnection))
		{
			sqlCommand.Parameters.Add("@DataSet", SqlDbType.VarChar);
			sqlCommand.Parameters["@DataSet"].Value = dataset;

			sqlConnection.Open();

			SqlDataReader sqlDataReader = sqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
			int studentID = sqlDataReader.GetOrdinal("StudentID");
			int name = sqlDataReader.GetOrdinal("Name");
			int classGroupId = sqlDataReader.GetOrdinal("ClassGroupId");

			while (sqlDataReader.Read())
			{
				temp.Add(new object[] { sqlDataReader.GetValue(studentID), sqlDataReader.GetValue(name), sqlDataReader.GetValue(classGroupId) });
			}

			sqlConnection.Close();
		}
	}

	return temp.ToArray();
}

code 2

public static DataSet GetStudents(string dataset)
{
	DataSet dataSet;

	using (dataSet = new DataSet())
	{
		using (SqlDataAdapter sqlDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, connectionString))
		{
			sqlDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@DataSet", dataset);
			sqlDataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);
		}
	}

	return dataSet;
}

usage

for code 1

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	object[] students = GetStudents("2010/2011");
	foreach (object[] student in students)
	{
		Console.WriteLine(student[0] + "~" + student[1] + "~" + student[2]);
	}
}

for code 2

static void Main(string[] args)
{
	using (DataSet dataSet = GetStudents("2010/2011"))
	{
		foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataSet.Tables[0].Rows)
		{
			Console.WriteLine(dataRow[0] + "~" + dataRow[1] + "~" + dataRow[2]);
		}
	}
}

Assignment 2

Based on the dice game “Drop Dead”, this program, written in C#, asks the user to enter a number between 5 and 10. The program then “roles” the dice.

If the result of the dice is 2 or 5, that dice is dead and not included in the final calculation.

The remaining dice scores are added together and are the results of the first roll. This continues until all dice are “dead”. The total score is all the roll scores added together.

Assignment 3

This assignment is the Hangman game, written in C#. An array of words are loaded and one is picked at random by the program. Users take it in turn to quest a letter or the word. If the guess is incorrect, the first diagram file is loaded and outputted to the screen.
