Exchange 2010: MSExchangeTransport service not started

Today, my exchange setup just stopped working (I’m testing it, so it might have stopped a few days ago) I think it might be because of installation of patches on it.
Emails were stuck in the Transport Queue folder (I use EWS quite a lot, that’s where I found this info)

Anyway, I had those error messages while using Exchange troubleshooting:

An issue with the 'MSExchangeTransport' service on "ServerName" was found.
This service is required for local transport submission from the Mailbox server role on "ServerName and is currently not running or is experiencing backpressure.
When this service is not running or is experiencing backpressure, it may result in messages backing up in the outbox folder of each user's mailbox on "ServerName.
Please resolve these service issues and check whether messages can flow.
The value for the '\MSExchangeIS Mailbox\Messages Queued For Submission' counter on server "ServerName" is greater than zero (average value is 11) and it appears that 'MSExchangeMailSubmission' is failing to submit messages to at least one computer with the Hub Transport server role installed over the last minute.
'MSExchangeTransport' service on server "ServerName"1 is not running. It is important for this service to be running for the Mailbox server role on "ServerName" to submit messages to the Hub Transport server role on this computer.

Solution is just to start the Microsoft Exchange Transport service, you can find it here :

DataBinding in C#: format a DateTime

Hi, today how to format a DateTime in a DataTable:

m_dtLogNotif is a DataTable
m_mfGridLogs is a DataGrid

BindingSource bsSource = new BindingSource();
m_mfGridLogs.BeginUpdate();
bsSource.DataSource = m_dtLogNotif;
m_mfGridLogs.DataSource = bsSource;
 
 DataGridViewCellStyle dgvcsStyle = m_mfGridLogs.Columns["Time"].DefaultCellStyle.Clone();
dgvcsStyle.Format = "dd/MM/yy HH:mm:ss";
m_mfGridLogs.Columns["Time"].DefaultCellStyle = dgvcsStyle;
 
m_mfGridLogs.AutoResizeColumns(DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells);
m_mfGridLogs.EndUpdate(true);

XML To Word (WordML) through XSLT

To translate.

Hey,

Today, a short post on how to use XSLT to create a Word document from a XML file

Process:

1. Create or open the model file with Word, then save it with the xml extension (2003)

2. Open it with a text editor (like notepad++ for instance)

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”UTF-8″ standalone=”yes”?>

<?mso-application progid=”Word.Document”?>

Suivi d’une balise <w:wordDocument xmlns:aml=”ht….> (ici se trouve toutes les données du document) </w:wordDocument>

3. Modifiez la structure pour avoir au final:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”Windows-1252″?>

<xsl:stylesheet version=”2.0″

xmlns:xsl=”http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform”

xmlns:msxsl=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt”

extension-element-prefixes=”msxsl”

xmlns:aml=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/aml/2001/core”

xmlns:dt=”uuid:C2F41010-65B3-11d1-A29F-00AA00C14882″

xmlns:ve=”http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006″

xmlns:o=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office”

xmlns:v=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml”

xmlns:w10=”urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word”

xmlns:w=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml”

xmlns:wx=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/auxHint”

xmlns:wsp=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml/sp2″

xmlns:sl=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/schemaLibrary/2003/core”

w:macrosPresent=”no” w:embeddedObjPresent=”no” w:ocxPresent=”no” xml:space=”preserve”>

<xsl:output method=”xml” indent=”no” version=”1.0″

encoding=”Windows-1252″ standalone=”yes”/>

<w:ignoreSubtree w:val=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2003/wordml/sp2″/>

<xsl:template match=”/”>

<xsl:processing-instruction name=”mso-application”>

<xsl:text>progid=”Word.Document”</xsl:text>

</xsl:processing-instruction>

<w:wordDocument>

<o:DocumentProperties>

<!– gardez tout ce qui se trouve à l’interieur de Document Properties, de meme pour les blocs suivants: –>

</o:DocumentProperties>

<w:fonts>

</w:fonts>

<w:styles>

</w:styles>

<w:divs>

</w:divs>

<w:shapeDefaults>

</w:shapeDefaults>

<w:docPr>

</w:docPr>

<w:body> <!– ici se trouve le “vrai contenu”

</w:body>

</w:wordDocument>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Renommez en .xslt

Voila, vous avez désormais une feuille xslt qui doit vous donner l’exacte réplique de votre page word. Elle n’a rien de dynamique pour le moment mais vous avez la base! Le reste n’est qu’utilisation normale du “langage” xsl!

Pour ajouter un saut de page, la commande est : <w:br w:type=”page”/>

Bonne chance

Inverse kinematics: Greville and SVD algorithm, ENIB Project

To introduce the topic, I’m going to quote wikipedia (I know, it’s bad, but at least I will not lose anyone at the first line :))

The inverse kinematics problem is simply stated as, “Given the desired position of the robot’s hand, what must be the angles at all of the robot’s joints?” This is in contrast to the forward kinematics problem, which is, “Given the angles at all of the robot’s joints, what is the position of the hand?”

Humans solve the inverse kinematics problem constantly without conscious effort. For example, when eating cereal in the morning, humans reach out for their spoon without considering the relative configuration of their shoulder and elbow required to reach the spoon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_kinematics

In this project, one of the goal was to implement a function allowing to compute the pseudoInverse of a non-square matrice. After some researches, the SVD and Greville algorithms seemed to be the one to use. For now I’m not going to enter too much into the rest of the project, but I mostly wanted to make my code available for people who would like to do the same ( I couldn’t find any code of the Greville algorithm at this time)  Mine is coded in C++ with the GSL library

In the archive, you will find the implementation of the Greville and SVD algorithm, plus a simple test code allowing the test of the performance of both of them. To make it faster, you can see below some information about the speed of the two algorithm.
