One more Flast test question

Code a multiple choice multiple select interactivity based on the below mentioned requirements (Time- 2.5hrs):

1. All the data (question text, option text, feedback and the number of attempts) should be kept and parsed through XML file.
2. The number of option texts should be populated and placed on the stage based on the data entered in the XML file.
3. The submit button will be enabled only when there is at least one option selected.
4. The incorrect/partial correct feedback will be displayed for the incorrect attempt and correct feedback will be displayed for the correct attempt.
5. The submit button will toggle to a solution button once all the incorrect attempts are over. Clicking the solution button will display the correct answer.

Memory leaks

Memory leak refers to a condition in which an incremental but steady loss of memory seems to be taking place. Usually, the root cause of memory leak has to do with the malfunction of one or more programs running on the hard drive . Essentially, the program fails to return memory to the hard drive when usage is complete and the resources are no longer needed. The result is that the used memory is not cleared for use by other computer programs, and thus diminishes the operating capacity of the computer.

Just about any type of program can be the source for memory leak. In some cases, it may be an application program, such as a database, that resides on the hard drive. At other times, the cause of the memory leak could be one of the essential program files that drive the operating system for the computer. Generally, the malfunction within the application is the result of some sort of invasion into the program proper, such as a virus or bug.

Even when the memory leak is relatively small, it can eventually cripple a system. Each time the infected application is run, the application grabs more free memory and never returns that amount of memory to the system. Over time, the amount of available memory becomes so limited that other applications are unable to obtain resources to launch or perform necessary functions, and begin to become inoperable. The end result is that the system simply shuts down and no application can run.

Many operating systems today include programming that automatically scans for memory leak and will alert the user to the problem. In addition, a number of anti-virus software programs today include components that will identify bugs or viruses that can cause a memory leak, and destroy them before there is a chance for the problem to do much damage. Both approaches are very helpful in preventing and dealing with incidences of memory leak.

First convert Hex to Byte Array(http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/hexencoding.aspx)



string hexString = txtHex.Text;

int discarded;

txtByteCount.Text = ((int)HexEncoding.GetByteCount(hexString)).ToString();

txtLength.Text = hexString.Length.ToString();

byte[] byteArray = HexEncoding.GetBytes(hexString, out discarded);

txtDiscard.Text = discarded.ToString();

string temp = "";

for (int i=0; i

{

temp += byteArray[i].ToString("D3") + " ";

}

txtByte.Text = temp;

txtHex2.Text = HexEncoding.ToString(byteArray);





Then Convert Byte Array to Image

(https://secure.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/ImageConverter.aspx?fid=337686&df=90&mpp=25&noise=3&sort=Position&view=Quick&select=2182648)

public Image byteArrayToImage(byte[] byteArrayIn)

{

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(byteArrayIn);

Image returnImage = Image.FromStream(ms);

return returnImage;

}





After that image to any type (gif etc)

public byte[] imageToByteArray(System.Drawing.Image imageIn)

{

MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();

imageIn.Save(ms,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Gif);

return ms.ToArray();

}





Also



img=Image.FromFile("test.jpg");
img.Save("test.png",ImageFormat.Jpeg); //so simple :-)

STAFF NOTICE - TOILET POLICY

STAFF NOTICE - TOILET POLICY :

Effective immediately, a toilet policy will be established to provide more consistent method of accounting for staff during working hours, thus ensuring effective time management & equal treatment of all. In the future, the doors to all toilets will be equipped with computer linked voice recognition devices, which can only be activated to open at the sound of a person's voice. Staff must therefore immediately provide management with 2 voice prints, one in normal tone & one under stress/desperation.

The following rules shall also apply:

1. On the first day of every month, all staff will be issued 22 toilet trip
credits.

2. Once toilet trip bank reaches zero, the doors of the toilet will
not unlock to your voice until first day of next month.

3. All cubicles are to be equipped with timed roll extractors. If stall
occupied more than 3 minutes, alarm will sound. Paper will retract into
dispenser 30 seconds later and toilet will flush and door will open.

4. If toilet remains occupied, your photo will be taken and appear on TOILET
OFFENDERS board.

5. Anyone caught smiling will undergo counseling.

6. Be advised that workers company insurance does not cover any injuries incurred
while trying to stop toilet paper retracting into dispenser, or keep door from
opening.

hahaha.. too humourous......
