My Azure Web app calls html2pdfrocket with this code:
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(result.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync().Result);
System.IO.File.WriteAllText(path, stream.ToString());
But I get back an invalid PDF of just a few bytes. I know the URL I pass to html2pdfrocket is valid because I can paste it into their Website to test it. Do I need to async/await or something else to get all the data before attempting to save it to a folder?
No need to use async/await, the .Result does the thing like await.
A similar error in your code, stream.ToString() only converts the stream object itself to a string, but does not contain the content.
I suggest you use byte[] array instead of stream(I did test with stream, but the saved .pdf file is empty even though the content length is correct).
Try use byte[] array like below, and it works at my side:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[]
{
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("apikey","xxxxx"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("value", "the url")
});
var result = client.PostAsync("http://api.html2pdfrocket.com/pdf", content).Result;
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
// change the path as per your need
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(#"d:\temp\0618.pdf", result.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync().Result);
}
}

I am using google drive API to download an excel file in my Flutter app but I want to store the downloaded file content response in a File and then do some update operations using excel dart package, below is the given code from reading an xlsx file from a path location.
var file = "Path_to_pre_existing_Excel_File/excel_file.xlsx"; //here I want to store the response from drive api
var bytes = File(file).readAsBytesSync();
var excel = Excel.decodeBytes(bytes);
//Do some logic here
for (var table in excel.tables.keys) {
print(table); //sheet Name
print(excel.tables[table].maxCols);
print(excel.tables[table].maxRows);
for (var row in excel.tables[table].rows) {
print("$row");
}
}
//then saving the excel file
// updating the excel sheet to Drive
updateToDrive(excel,fileId);
I have created all the required auth functions, drive scopes and my download function looks like this :
Future<void> downloadFile() async{
String fileId = '1TOa4VKfZBHZe######WLA4M95nOWp';
final response = await driveApi.files.get(
fileId,
downloadOptions: drive.DownloadOptions.fullMedia
);
print(response);
}
This function is executing correctely and giving Media type response, but I could not able to read this response so that I could store it in a file.
Any help would be truly appreciated, Thanks
I changed my download function to this, as drive.files.get() was returning a Future Object so I changed it to return Future<Media?> by type casting.
String fileId = "19jF3lOVW563LU6m########jXVLNQ7poXY1Z";
drive.Media? response = (await driveApi.files.get(
fileId,
downloadOptions: drive.DownloadOptions.fullMedia
)) as drive.Media?;
Now response is a Media on which we can listen to the sream to store the response in a file.
To do that first we need to get the app directory by path_provider
final String path = (await getApplicationSupportDirectory()).path;
final String fileName = '$path/Output.xlsx';
File file = File(fileName);
Now we want to write the stream of response Stream<List> into our file object which I found from this link
List<int> dataStore = [];
await response!.stream.listen((data) {
print("DataReceived: ${data.length}");
dataStore.insertAll(dataStore.length, data);
}, onDone: () {
print("Task Done");
file.writeAsBytes(dataStore);
OpenFile.open(file.path);
print("File saved at ${file.path}");
}, onError: (error) {
print("Some Error");
});
Now we can do whatever we want to make changes through excel package.
I am sending DICOM images to my API by encoding as base64 from the frontend, which is in Angular CLI. Also, I have Rest API to get those encoded DICOM images and decode them back before had some process with them. But after decoding the DICOM image into the memory stream, metadata of DICOM images are lost. It is appreciatable if I got a better solution. Please find my codes below.
//Angular code
var file = event.dataTransfer ? event.dataTransfer.files[i] :
event.target.files[0];
//var pattern = /.dcm/;
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.onload = this._handleReaderLoaded.bind(this);
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
//Web API Code
[HttpPost("UploadFile/{Id}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> UploadFile(int Id, [FromBody] DICOMFiles
dicomfiles)
{
String base64Encoded = encodedImage;
string output =
encodedImage.Substring(encodedImage.IndexOf(',') + 1);
byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(output);
MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(data);
client.UploadFile(stream, "Projects/test_images/Test.dcm");
}
At last, I found a solution for this. The problem is not about decode from base64. The actual problem is with the client.UploadFile() method call.
Before using the client.uploadfile(), we need to make sure that the memory stream object is pointing to position "0". This will allow the client.UploadFile() method to create and write all the content of the mentioned file from the start of the byte[] array. we can do this as mentioned below.
stream.Position = 0;
I am using bot framework. I want to create an excel file in bot framework to display some table which is the output of some BI type question like "what is the revenue of product x in previous year?"
Is it possible to do so?
You can generate a CSV file by using trivial code, or use a .NET library like spreadsheetlight in order to generate an Excel file.
Then you can attach the newly generated Excel file as an attachment to your bot's message.
Services like Facebook are OK with your bot sending PDF or Excel files. In an IDialog you would use it like this:
private async Task SendAttachmentToUser(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> argument)
{
string incoming = await argument;
//this is your method that generates excel file and returns a link to it
var excelLink = GenerateExcelFileBasedOnUserQuery(incoming.Text);
IMessageActivity response = context.MakeMessage();
response.Attachments = new List<Attachment>()
{
new Attachment()
{
ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel",
ContentUrl = "http://yoursuperbot.azurewebsites.net/Files/2843578193485719fa011.xls",
Name = "Your_Results.xls"
}
};
response.Text = "Here are your results.";
await context.PostAsync(response);
context.Done(this);
}
I am working with Windows 10 universal app and i want to download a file in that. The file link to Sharepoint server. I have passed token in headr to a web service and then service returned byte array to my WinJS.
Now i want to save the file, how can i do this? I tried several code samples but not working.
var folder = Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.current.localFolder;
folder.createFileAsync("document.docx", Windows.Storage.CreationCollisionOption.replaceExisting).then(function (file) {
return Windows.Storage.FileIO.writeTextAsync(file, result.response);
}).then(function () {
//saved
});
I am using above code and it is creating new file but no content is placed there. Please suggest what to do.
You never open the file for WriteAccess. I have included code from my working app. First do this command
StorageFile ageFile = await local.CreateFileAsync("Age.txt", CreationCollisionOption.FailIfExists);
then do this:
// Get the file.
var ageFile = await local.OpenStreamForWriteAsync("Age.txt",CreationCollisionOption.OpenIfExists);
// Read the data.
using (StreamWriter streamWriter = new StreamWriter(ageFile))
{
streamWriter.WriteLine(cmbAgeGroup.SelectedIndex + ";" + DateTime.Now);
streamWriter.Flush();
}
ageFile.Dispose();
The web socket is written in javascript by my colleague. I managed to connect. First of all I have to log in on the application using a test account. I have to send the email and password through a json. I have installed the Json.Net packet using NuGet.
Some code that I found on my reaserch is this, but I do not understand how to send my data using that segment.
var buffer = new byte[1024];
var segment = new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer);
webSocket.SendAsync(segment, WebSocketMessageType.Text, true, CancellationToken.None);
Of course, I can use an object
User user=new User();
user.Email="bla#bla.com";
user.Password="pass";
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(user);
But it will not be of any use because the method SendAsync accepts only byte type on segment.
All I want is to send that data, and if log in succeeds, I should receive other data (in Json format) about the user.
As a side note, I am quite new to web sockets, I used http protocols from ASP.NET WEB API 2.
I have no idea about Windows Phone 8, but by the code you pasted it seems similar to the regular .NET ClientWebSocket, so here you have some examples:
public static Task SendString(ClientWebSocket ws, String data, CancellationToken cancellation)
{
var encoded = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(data);
var buffer = new ArraySegment<Byte>(encoded, 0, encoded.Length);
return ws.SendAsync(buffer, WebSocketMessageType.Text, true, cancellation);
}
public static async Task<String> ReadString(ClientWebSocket ws)
{
ArraySegment<Byte> buffer = new ArraySegment<byte>(new Byte[8192]);
WebSocketReceiveResult result = null;
using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
{
do
{
result = await ws.ReceiveAsync(buffer, CancellationToken.None);
ms.Write(buffer.Array, buffer.Offset, result.Count);
}
while (!result.EndOfMessage);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
using (var reader = new StreamReader(ms, Encoding.UTF8))
return reader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
If something does not compile or exists in WP8, just find an equivalent.
#vtortola is a working example in case your data comes in multiple segmented messages, but if all data comes in a single message you don't need all those streams to read the message, you just need to do this:
public static async Task<String> ReadString(ClientWebSocket socket)
{
var reciveBuffer = new byte[32000];
var result = await socket.ReceiveAsync(new ArraySegment<byte>(reciveBuffer), CancellationToken.None);
if (result.MessageType == WebSocketMessageType.Close)
{
await socket.CloseAsync(WebSocketCloseStatus.NormalClosure, string.Empty, CancellationToken.None);
}
return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(reciveBuffer , 0, result.Count);
}
If your message is splited in multiple segments or you don't know how your message is comming then you have to do like #vtortola
Also if you want to keep receiving messages you can do a while and call ReadString inside, like this:
while (socket.State == WebSocketState.Open)
{
var msg = ReadString(socket)
//do something with your message...
}
