Running script

Hello again.

Take the stlutil class and add it to your aspnet project.
If the file is on the server then put it in the physical directory where you deploy your web app.
In your form load use the same code from class main but pass the args array to IsValidated like thid:
var stlutils=new STLUtils();
If(stlutils.IsValidated(new string[]{filename,STLUtils.LengthType.inch.ToString()}));

The filename argument is the location of the .stl file in the server.

I will check it and come back.

Meantime, could u please have look the following question?

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28009868/PHP-to-C.html

Thanks

U already got it answered

I tried the code but ended up with a syntax error.

ERROR: Possible mistaken empty statement at ';' in the end of the statement.

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var stlutils = new STLUtils();
        if (stlutils.IsValidated(new string[] { Server.MapPath("~/website1/Part1_full tray..stl"), STLUtils.LengthType.inch.ToString() }));
    }

ayha

U have 2 dots between the file name and the extension stl

I removed but still same error.

Debug the code and post the line that causes the error

Also can u post the stlutil class here?

instead of red underline for syntax error it is green underline and when debugging, not showing error.

What is that mean?  do u get an error or not?

as I told you, a syntax error and when I run no result in the page. Actually I expect to execute CalculateVolume function and return result.

What is the error? Which line of code?

Now error but no result returned,

Debug the code see if it calculates all data correctly
Ive no way of knowing what is wrong without a file

could u pls try this file

http://orion.math.iastate.edu/burkardt/data/stl/bottle.stl

no error but no result.

i didn't realize it can be open in any text editor... (i wasn't familiar with the file type).
did u try it?
do you see the figures?
cause it would make it so much easier to process it as if it was a text file rather binary file like you had in php.
what do u think?

Thanks
