Hi Everyone
I need to open and read this file with c#.net and this is emergency for me, unfortunately I have never worked with this type of file.
the file is at this address:
20200304.ZIP [LINK REMOVED - OriginalGriff]
could you please help me.
Thank you all.

I removed the link as we have no idea what the file contains, and do not wish to find out.
Posting files to dodgy upload sites and assuming it will be downloaded is not a good idea.
That's a ZIP file: which just means it's a compressed archive, like a "portable folder".
The .NET framework contains classes for opening, reading, and writing them: ZipFile Class (System.IO.Compression) | Microsoft Docs[^] so that should be the first place you start reading.

And you didn't think it important to mention that in the first place? In an "emergency"? Must be the panic. Ok, we'll let it go this time.

So this is a repost of your previous thread?

There's no real need to upload the file anywhere, unless you are paying someone to take a look at it and see if they can parse it.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A Dataflex tag file is simply a line delimited ASCII file. You can read it using File.ReadAllLines.

Hi Pete O'Hanlon and Thanks.
Yes, I Installed DataFlex Studio 20, and Opened Tag File By it, And also used ReadAllLine by Encoding.ASCII. But Unfortunatley the Output is same :
\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\u0004

Hi I have a table which has 100s of 1000s of records, in it there is a column Blob which is storing a huge json string.
We got a new Tableau Reports developer, who is saying he is not able to use that Blob column to read some data from it, because he doesn't know how to handle Json in Tableau.
So he wanted me to write a Service to convert that Json string into Excel document, means it would be huge Excel documents in 1000s of numbers, if not in 100s of 1000s, can somebody please suggest me, what solution can I provide him.
I already wrote the Service to Convert but writing into 1000s of Excel files is awful, I am looking for any better approach which can be feasible for both of us. Thanks a lot in advance.

He is asking for converting that into XML I will just create an another table out of this Database and convert and post it over there, simple jSon would have been better but he is saying he doesn't know

Sounds like he needs to start learning how to do his job ...

But yes I did send him the jSon now we are trying to write a generic SQL Query to read from jSon string instead of conversions, then he wanted me to help him in that I am trying using OpenjSon, do you know any idea how to read through jSon string which has objects embedded within other objects. Any idea you have my friend.

Store the data as a CSV text file; Excel opens it as a single sheet workbook.

Here's a suggestion; tell him to learn. JSON isn't complex; it is textbased, human readable, with plenty of tools.
My first was DBaseIV. Would you convert all to DBaseIV format if I told you JSON is too complicated?

Send him back, he does not know how to do the job you hired him for! Calling himself a developer is disingenuous.

Excel limits.
32k maximum size for a cell
1,048,576 maximum rows
16,384 columns
Excel specifications and limits - Excel[^]
If you already have a 200,000 rows then a reasonable growth estimate would mean your solution would need to support 2,000,000 rows. And that is not going happen in excel.
You didn't define 'huge' nor what is in that json has but see the cell size limit and column limit. Again if you are already pushing those then growth would suggest you will exceed it.

Is this a one time job? On demand? Once a day? Once a minute? That will impact what is reasonable in terms of how long you your job can take processing this.
simpledeveloper wrote: convert that Json string into Excel document
Is that the only problem that it is json? Basically the acronym 'ETL' exists for this very thing. So why not do the following
1. Create another database, do not try to do this in the existing one.
2. Create a job that incrementally processes the rows and flattens outs the data into the new database.
3. Then the other person uses that database, with the data nicely parsed out to do what they want.
How to flatten it out? Well if the data is nice and stable then you could just create a table with the columns named appropriately.
If however the json is includes lots of depth and is dynamic then you will need to create a metadata solution such as a table that stores a name, and type, and perhaps another table with values. The types allows you to handle arrays and other embedded types (circular). Keeping in mind that this problem is one you would have needed to deal with an the Excel idea any ways.
This also allows the data to be kept up to date. Then it is up to them, not you, how often to actually pull the data.

I'm trying to change the language of our application at runtime.
I already have resx files for the different languages.
When I run this at the application startup it works; the translated (German) strings are displayed in the app.
var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("de");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
When I try changing the language later on, the language is not updated.
I call the same code in my view with the different language strings (obviously).
var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
From what I can see That should be enough.
Is there something I'm missing ? Is there a call to update the UI I don't know about ?
Thanks.

How are you displaying the localized strings in your view? And does the problem affect views you haven't displayed yet, or only views that are already open?

In XAML, something like this :
<Label Content="{x:Static properties:Resources.General_Settings}" ></Label>
as I said, if I manually set the culture when the application starts the language works.

As far as I can see, that should use the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to identify the resource file to use.
Are you sure you're running the code to change the language on the UI thread? And that the views weren't previously opened?

I decided to create a simple test application, a simple C#/WPF project, just a main window with a couple of controls.
I have resources in English and French. (1 string, English and French translation)
<Window x:Class="TestLayout.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:localization="clr-namespace:TestLayout.Localization"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="TestLayout" Height="450" Width="800">
<pre>
<StackPanel>
<Button Margin="10" Padding="5" Click="Button_Click">Click to change language</Button>
<Label Content="{x:Static localization:MyApp.General_Settings}"/>
</StackPanel>
With a simple callback.
<pre lang="C#">private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var cultureInfo = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("fr");
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentCulture = cultureInfo;
CultureInfo.DefaultThreadCurrentUICulture = cultureInfo;
var resourceManager = MyApp.ResourceManager;
var translatedString = resourceManager.GetString("General_Settings");
}</pre>
The strings are OK, Seems the UI is not updated.
Thanks,
will keep keeping on.

The problem is that you're changing the language, but the view has already been loaded. There is nothing to trigger the {x:Static ...} binding to update. The value is loaded once, when the view loads, and never changes.
You'd need to change your code to use a {Binding ...} to a property on your view-model instead. Then raise the appropriate PropertyChanged event for the localizable properties when the culture changes.
