    - How to configure the DateTimePicker control to accept 24:00? I have a DateTimePicker control on a Windows form. What I want is to configure it to recognise 24:00:00 as a valid time. I only intend to use the return value as a string (i.e. not DateTime variable) How can I do this? Many thanks. Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93782

    - Producer/Consumer example I am building an application where data is coming in from a hardware deveice attached to the serial port. The data needs to be queued ASAP. I figured a could create a custom class containing this data and store it in an ArrayList for future processing. I want to process this data continually so that is could be preserved in case of a system failure. I was thinking of implement a producer/consumer relationship using threading. However, I haven't been able to find an example that explains things in a way that I can digest. Does anyone know of any good resources for developing producer/consumer systems with C# and Threading? Thanks. Ryan. Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93777

    - performance issue when the interpolation mode (GDI+) Hi, I have a performance issue when the interpolation mode is set to Bicubic. The image (of size 1 MB) is zoomed 10 times. When the image is viewed using scroll bars in a picturebox control, there is a choppy effect, where as, when the interpolation mode is set to HiQualityBicubic (or for any other mode, apart from Bicubic), this effect is not to be seen. Any ideas... Thanks in Advance Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93774

    - Read / write text file? I need to update some lines in a text files. I would like to open the file, read line by line and change the lines that should be changed and then when finished the file should have been changed. I know how to do this if I open one file and write out to a second file, but how can I do this with a single file without creating a new one?

    - mutex locks: should I lock out concurrent readers, or just writers? Or should I say, when I have data members that can be read from multiple threads, should I put a lock around read-only access to those members in addition to the write-accesses of those members? What if a reader attempts to read the data while the writer is in the midst of writing to it? Thanks, -- kov Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93767

    - HttpWebRequest with ssl problem Hi support I' m sending requests to a web server over an ssl connection to a server with the HttpWebRequest class. I can't control the server. I make a login, send some requests but the server has no logout. This works only once. The second time I get a http error. I restart the application and everything works fine again. The programmer of the server application advised me to just destroy the ssl connection and after that log in again. That's the point: how can I destroy the ssl connection in visual basic.net.

    - Garbage Collection Hi, I have a windows app that i'm using to transfer images from one SQL DB to another doing some processing inbetween because the DB table structures to hold the images are different. What i'm finding is that the process fails after several hundred images with an Out Of Memory Exception. I can see from Task Manager that my app is chewing up memory (over 1GB) just before I get this error. I've have double checked all my code and i'm closing all DB connections and memory streams etc so in theory there should be no memory leaks. It just seems that the garbage collector is not being called, even when I make an explicit call to GC.Collect it doesn't seem to get called... Any ideas?

    - Proposed MSDN Subscription Changes - VERY BAD!!! I urge every developer who has an MSDN subscription (Universal) to petition MS to change their proposed ideas on Visual Studio Team Suite (VSTS). Depending on what you read, they are proposing to not include it or raise the price to between $5,000 and $10,000. Every developer who has helped MS make loads of cash of these past many years needs to write to them. Let them know they are about to alienate the one group that always and consistently helps them be successful. It is the most ridiculous thing they've ever proposed. Unbelievable!!! http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx?feedbackId=2b58b8db-5bba-4dfc-be10-78ad43686b3b MICROSOFT PLEASE RECONSIDER. YOU WILL LOSE SALES.

    - I miss those old events in this brave new world! This is just a comment. I was very surprised to find out that there are no named events support in .NET framework! Sure, mutex objects can do most of IPC work, but there are some cases that mutexes do not fit in (because mutexes have a unique thread ownership feature). For example (this may be very hard to understand, just like all other synchronizing problems): 1. A parent process spawns a child process to do a job. 2. The parent has to make sure that the child starts the job or the child exits prematurely on errors. It also has to have a way to tell the child to stop working. 3. So in this brave .NET world, I have only one choice - two mutexes for the IPC. One is for 'quit' signal, the other is for 'error' signal (when errors occur, the child process exits). 4. Now the parent has the following logic: get_unique_signal_names(); // Guid is used create_quit_signal(); // intially owned create_error_signal(); // not initially owned; create_child_process_config(); // create a config file for the child process create_child_process_with_config(); // spawn the child process with created config file wait_for_child_process_or_error_signal(); // wait any of them if(process exited) { call_error_handler(); } else { user_ineration(); // provide UI to let user stop child process } 5. The child process does this logic: get_signal_names_from_config(); // they are in app.exe.config open_quit_signal(); open_error_signal(); try { intialization_for_job(); } catch(error) { set_error_signal(); return -1; } start_job(); // e.g., starting a listening socket wait_for_quit_signal(); // enter wait state; 6. Everything is fine, right? But there is only one *small* problem. This problem is caused by the unique feature of mutex objects - thead ownership. Simply put, the above logic does not gurantee wait_for_child_process_or_error_signal() always indicate the correct situation. The error signal is created not owned. Since no thread has ownership of this mutex, its state is always *signaled*; unlike event objects, they are either signaled or nonsignaled. So it is not 100% safe that when the code gets to wait_for_child_process_or_error_signal(), the child process has already does open_error_signal()! It took me hours to find out this *small* problem. I think it's a small problem because programs now runs on fast computers, the chance is very rare for the child process get choked before open_error_signal() and while the parent process gets to wait_for_child_process_or_error_signal(). 7. There is a solution. But it is clumsy (anyone who gets to this point please point out a good way if he/she know one): For the parent process: for(;;) { Thread.Sleep(500); // don't exhaust CPU time // wait for the child process to get ownership of this signal if(done_signal.WaitOne(500, true)) // in case the child already has it { done_signal.ReleaseMutex(); // well, have to do get/release in pairs } else break; } For the child process: open_error_signal(); get_ownership_of_error_signal(); // get ownership - a simple wait 8. That's why I miss those named events in the ugly old world. With named events, I don't have to add the logic in note 7. At last, I finished it. I thank for any explanation on why named events extinct in the new world (except the performance issue). Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93740

    - Should I use XML or not? Hello, I am writing a word add-in in C#. This add-in has to attach some metadata to bookmarks in the document. = The metadata is stored in Word document variables. Typical metadata can consist of a string identifier, three lists of [0 = to 50] person-names each and about 5 Yes/No flags. The problem is that I have to parse the metadata whenever the user moves = the cursor onto bookmarked text so it has to be very fast, otherwise = moving through the document will feel sluggish. I was thinking of formatting the metadata using XmlTextWriter and = parsing it using XmlTextReader. However, I am not familiar with these classes and I am afraid that this = approach may prove too slow on computers that are not state of the art. The alternative is formatting and parsing the strings myself, perhaps = using some combination of string.Split, string.Join, string.IndexOf and = StringBuilder. Since the metadata is only intended for the internal operation of the = add-in, it can be as ugly as I want (in fact, I was thinking about = obfuscating it do discourage users from messing with it but this may add = another slowdown). What would you suggest? Thank you, Alex. --=20 Please replace myrealbox with alexoren to reply by email. Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93734

    - CreateProcessWithLogonW doesn't work with XP service pack 2 I posted this in another group, so, sorry if you have already read this. I'm trying to run an application under another user within a winform app writen in C#. I have tried a number of different things, but it seems that the CreateProcessWithLogonW function should work to do what I need to do. This appears to work just fine in Windows 2000 and XP with service pack 1, but it doesn't work with XP service pack 2 installed. I'm sure it's one of the "Enhanced security features" of service pack 2, but I can't seem to get this to work. The function returns a 1 indicating that it worked fine, but the applcation that I'm trying launch does not launch. To give a little background on what I'm doing: I have written a small app that is basically just an interface for the netsh command to change network setting for the user. The users do not have admin rights on their machines, but a select few need to be able to change their IP addresses for buisness reasons. Because of this, I basically just call the CreateProcessWithLogonW function to start run the netsh command under an admin account on the machine to change the IP address to whatever the user specifies in the interface that I provided. As a test, I have created two very simple windows apps. The first one calls the CreateProcessWithLogonW function to login as another account on the machine. It then calls another simple application that uses the WindowsIdentity to show the current user. This works fine on Win2K and XP sp1, but not with service pack 2. If anyone know how to get around this, that would be great. Thanks, Jerry Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93730

    - System.Collections.DictionaryBase.GetEnumerator cannot be overload Hello, I've tried to write an method overriding System.Collections.DictionaryBase.GetEnumerator(), but my C# compiler (VS .NET 2003) outputed 'error CS0506'. This means System.Collections.DictionaryBase.GetEnumerator() is not virtual one, but in the .NET class library reference, it is described as 'public virtual IDictionaryEnumerator GetEnumerator();'. Also, the object browser in VS.NET 2003 says DictionaryBase.GetEnumrator() is 'public virtual new System.Collections.IDictionaryEnumerator GetEnumerator ( )'. Is this a bug of the compiler or the document? Or Is there something wrong in my understandings? Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93725

    - Question on - Automatic compilation of VB.NET files on a Web Server Not sure if this is the correct newsgroup. Could be the IIS. Hopefully someone can answer my question. We are migration an ASP Web App to VB.NET. One of the benefits we're enjoying so far with ASP is that we do not have to worry about a build release. When an ASP file is modified and tested, we just deploy that file to the production Web server through Visual SourceSafe without worrying that we are releasing someone elses untested/unfinished code out. Now I am hoping that .NET provides the same scenario where all we need to do is copy the .aspx and .vb files to the Web Server, and all the .vb files would automatically get compiled into the assembly when an .aspx file is requested. Meaning that we wouldn't have to compile the application into a DLL assembly. The environment would recognize that the .vb file has changed and would get compiled into the existing assembly. My question, does .NET work this way? Thank you. Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93724

    - Web Browser control throws exception when trying to navigate to ur I have written a small app to help test code generated by Xslt tranformations, these transformations are performed by various components - basically this is a test rig for the components and Xslt they use. All works fine the first time I invoke the method, save the output to file and then browse to this file with the browser component. However, if I do the same action again I get a "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation." exception thrown when calling the Navigate() method (passing in the same url as worked previously). The InnerException is "The requested resource is in use.". If I change the tool to point to a different component/xslt each time I invoke the test then all is OK, it is just doing this when I do the same url twice in a row. I suspect it may be something to do with the some resources referenced in the html not being available and the browser control not being ready for use again - but why would it work for a different url?

    - Sending to USB? I've been asked if I could convert my app to send raw printer data to USB rather than serial/COM. Right now, we open the com port and ship out our text printer data to that port (a label printer). I've searched the web, and there are comments suggesting that its "probably" a similar operation - I'd like a little more confidence that it is. Does anyone ship data to a USB printer (this printer is an Intermec barcode label printer, but that shouldn't matter) - how is this handled in code? I haven't found a USB port, similar to COM1, LPT1, etc... Thanks Mike Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93714

    - ICodeCompiler defaults to /D:TRACE /D:DEBUG Greetings, I've noticed that assemblies built using ICodeCompiler for C# (CSharpCodeProvider) appear to have been compiled with the /D:TRACE and /D:DEBUG compiler flags even though they are not present in the CompilerParameters.CompilerOptions string.

    - Plugin assembles best practices This is a lengthy post; please bear with me... This will be a large system with dozens of plugins. In addition to plugins developed internally there will be 3rd parties that will write their own and integrate them into our application. I will be managing the identification and loading of these plugins. In addition, there are a number of assemblies that plugins will reference, some shared, and others private. There are a couple of approaches I am considering. It is expected that all plugins will need to be registered so that the app does not blindly load up all assemblies searching for plugins to load. FIRST OPTION - separate directories The expected directory layout is like this... BaseDirectory (application) PluginManifest.xml (info on which ones to load) | | -- Common (shared.dll, all versions forced to latest) | | -- PlugIn1 directory (Plugin1.dll, private1.dll, v1.0) | | -- PlugIn2 directory (Plugin2.dll, private1.dll, v1.1) | | -- PlugIn3 directory (Plugin3.dll, private1.dll, v1.2) All assemblies that share types are to be relocated to the common directory. This occurs when the assembly is installed. This involves determining if an assembly is intended to be shared - this implies that the assembly is exporting a type that the consumer of that assembly (i.e. the plugin) is also exporting or importing. All shared assemblies will have binding redirects so that all other assemblies will all be pointing at the same one. All assemblies that are intended to be private will remain in the subdirectory of the plugin. A codebase hint for each assembly to be loaded will be placed into the app.config file so that the assembly lives in the fusion load context. ALTERNATIVE: Put all assemblies into the same directory and enforce a naming convention like this... <namespace>.<asmName>.<version>.dll This is intended to result in all assemblies having a unique name; the name to include the assembly version number. No binding redirects to be done, nor will codebase hints be used, unless there is a common assembly that all others must share. This will be identified manually and a binding redirect put into the app.config file. The layout looks like this... BaseDirectory PluginManifest.xml (info on which ones to load) | shared.v1.0.dll, shared.v1.1.dll, shared.v1.2.dll, | | PlugIn1.dll PlugIn2.dll PlugIn3.dll private1.v1.0.dll private1.v1.1.dll private1.v1.2.dll PROS and CONS: Separate directories. PROS Prevents clutter. Makes it easier to separate "system" *(i.e. our) assemblies from addins, 3rd parties, etc. Ensures that all private assemblies remain that way as they are isolated by directories. There is no global naming scheme we need to maintain or enforce. Each plugin can have separate associated data files. Can use its own subdirectories. No naming conflicts. CONS Much more overhead in managing the system. I have to write a fusion-like layer to handle all the locations that assemblies can be in, the binding redirects, etc. All plugins need to be analyzed for common items during the registration process. One directory PROS: Has the advantage of simplicity. Easy to locate and load assemblies. No fusion-like layer to manage the assemblies is needed. CONS Requires a global naming scheme that everyone must adhere to. Each plugin may be using a different version of an assembly and there is no way to tell which one is using what since they are all located in the same directory. Identifying conflicts will be a nightmare. If an assembly accidentally exports a type that is supposed to be private will result in an error (typecase) that will be very hard to troubleshoot. Will be hard to "know" what assemblies are actually used and needed. Clutters the directory. If a plugin uses a data file may result in a name conflict with another plugin. So, anyone have any comments? Which method would be best? What other methods are there that I did not mention? Thanks, David Levine Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93694

    - GAC question: Will a newer version be used for an application? I found several articles about GAC, but none of them can answer my question (perhaps I am reading too fast :-)). Suppose I have an application that is built against a shared assembly version 1.0. That asembly is installed to GAC. Later a newer version of the shared assembly is installed, say 1.1. I want to know: 1. If the runtime will automatically select the newer version for the application (not rebuilt). 2. Or do I need to rebuild it in order to use the newer version. Thanks.

    - Abount DESCryptoServiceProvider Can I de-crypt the data by java which is crypt by DESCryptoServiceProvider? The following is my code to crypt data: string text = "This is My source data"; byte[] source = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(text); DESCryptoServiceProvider des = new DESCryptoServiceProvider(); des.Key = this.key; des.IV = this.iv; ICryptoTransform desencrypt = des.CreateEncryptor(); System.IO.MemoryStream ms = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(ms,desencrypt,CryptoStreamMode.Write); cryptostream.Write(source, 0, source.Length); byte[] result = ms.ToArray(); cryptostream.Close(); ms.Close(); And then, I will send the release data(result) to other host via http connection. And the remote host platform is java. Could the java platform decrypt the data I sent to? Thanks! Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93677

    - Event Log Categories Hi all, I am trying to do a eventlog viewer but have a slight issues with the System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntry.Category. For some things it gives me a description but for others it just gives me a number but in the proper event log it has a proper description for the category. Any ideas would be great. Thanks Shane C.

    - Web-Service/COM+ components and object-oriented concepts Hi, I often read that it were a good practice to implement a business logic tier as a Web-Service or as a COM+ component. While I understand the reasoning concerned with scalability and support of non-.Net clients etc., I'm a bit confused about how the concept of object- oriented components goes along with these. Usually, I would prefer, for example, to have a reference to a "customer" instance, that has an associated "shopping- list" instance, to which I may add items, over a function like "AddItemToShoppingList( customerId, itemId )". What's even more important, I would like to implement the corresponding business logic the first way. As far as I understand, it is not possible to have consecutive calls against the very same instance exposed from a Web-Service or COM+ component, so this seems to mandate procedural mechanisms. Now, for Web-Services I would think that since you have a session context, there's not so much problem with that, cause the "I do have my own history" instances can be kept in the session state, like one does in ASP.NET applications. But for COM+, I don't see a way to achieve this (ok, I may could come up with some scheme, but that would not be "intrinsic" to the technology in use). So, is this advice about implementing business logic within COM+ components somewhat "misleading", or didn't I just get it? Thanks in advance for all comments!

    - help changing profile from VB dotnet to C# I'm sure this is stupidly simple but for some reason I'm not seeing it. I originally set up my Profile for VB but later changed it to C#. Now when I click New Project, it still gives me VB project options. What do I need to do in addition to start seeing C# options? Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93670

    - Not satisfied with supportedRuntime syntax requirement This is just a comment. MSDN states that the version must be: <quote> A String value that specifies the version of the .NET Framework that this application supports. The string value must match the directory name found under the .NET Framework installation root. The contents of the string value are not parsed. </quote> I personally it's not scalable. I know the Microsoft guys had their reasoning behind this, but would it be better to let me specify version="2.0"? The change from requiredRuntime to supportedRuntime made me think they are swaying between some ideas... Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93667

    - Is it possible to specify a different runtime for an AppDomain? Here is my code (simplified): AppDomainSetup cfg = new AppDomainSetup(); cfg.ConfigurationFile = "app.config"; _domain = AppDomain.CreateDomain(this.txtDomainName.Text, null, cfg); _domain.ExecuteAssembly(Application.ExecutablePath); In app.config, I specify a different version using supportedRuntime tag. But I do not get expected result; I do get correct appSettings specified in app.config for the new domain. It seems that the newly created AppDomain is always run on the runtime of the default domain. I want to know if this behavior is not configurable.

    - Need XPath to invalid element being validated by XmlValidatingRead Hello, I have an xml document that I'm validating against a schema using the XmlValidatingReader. I've attached a callback method to the ValidatingEventHandler so I get notified of the validation errors. This is all working fine. I have the following 3 files: 1. collar_default_vals.xml - contains correct default values for all elements. 2. collar.xml - contains specific values ( this is being validated against schema ) 3. collar.xsd - the scheam used to validate the collar.xml. When validating collar.xml against collar.xsd I need to know the full path( XPath ) to the element in collar.xml for which validation fails because I will need to replace that invalid value with a default value stored in collar_default_vals.xml. The problem is that collar.xml contains nested elements ( complextypes ) and some of the elements have the same names. So even though I know the name of the element that fails validation I don't know exactly which element it is. Is there a way to get the XPath to the element that is failing validation? Any ways around this? Thanks. -Kishore Tag: SortedList question-- easy way to look for dupes? Tag: 93655

    - System.Environment.TickCount wrapping The documentation for TickCount states quite plainly that it wraps from its max value of Int32.MaxValue to zero at the wraparound point (approx. every 24.9 days). I did build a longer term timer based on this assumption, but when a long term test of the product stopped working at ~25 days, and I attached a debugging session of VS to the app, I could have sworn that I saw TickCount return a large negative value. Unfortunately, VS locked soon after, brought the app down with it, and the machine was rebooted. I don't have any other machines around here that have been running for > 25 days to further test the observation. So the question is: does TickCount wrap to Int32.MinValue (and the documentation is wrong) or to 0 (and I was mistaken in my observation) ?

Hi everyone,

I've been reading through the MSDN documentation on SortedLists and
didn't find anything that leapt out at me about this, so I thought I'd ask;
is there a "good" way to check if a SortedList has duplicate values? What
about looking for duplicate values in two SortedLists?-- is there a
reccomended method for looking for dupes in that instance?

You won't find dupes in keys, only in values. To find dupes there, I would
consider running the values into a Hashtable and deleting, by key, any duped
values. You will have to make sure your sort is correct for this.
