OK, that'll be because it's an object coming out of the DB
ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(Convert.ToDouble(drow["Price"]).ToString("C")));

I got it to work by using:
double dbprice = Convert.ToDouble(drow["Price"]);
ListViewItem lvi = new ListViewItem(dbprice.ToString("C"));
Perhaps you can't convert it twice in one line of code?
Thanks for your help Chris

object o = 2.56;
string s = Convert.ToDouble(o).ToString("C");
This code works. If your code is crashing, then there's some other problem here. At some point, you need to write your own code - the ToString method on a double which takes a letter will produce a currency output as you're seeing here. You need to look into what's coming out of your database and make it work with this method.

Sorry, what code can i use to remove the cents from the value.
Something to do with the NumberFormatInfo ??
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to remove the cents ( sorry, did you say that ? ) then build your own format string using the info on those pages. You'd then be locale independent, i.e. it would always say $.

I would like to know if anybody have used the new serialport class available in the new Dotnet framework V2.
If yes, I would like to know if some events like :
- RX buffer is empty or not;
- TX buffer is empty;
- Time Out expired;
- ...
If I can retreive the size of the RX/TX buffer and many other parameters.
Because now I using my wrapper class of serialport (c++ to C#) but sometimes it is difficult to realize some functionality.
Best Regards

Hi
I know that it may be a big question but I need its answer because it will help me in my graduation project.
My question is how to build a speech recognition engine?? It is a part of the project so I just want the steps to follow to build it.
Thank you 
Fox

are you implying building an engine from scratch ? i would highly recommend reading this
Fundamentals of Speech Recognition by "Lawrence R. R. Rabiner & Biing-Hwang Juang". They talk about using hidden markov models as the basis of a speech recognition engine. This is one of the most highly recommended texts as an introduction into speech recognition. I hope your DSP is up to scratch
Alternatively, you can try looking up IEEE Xplorer for recent IEEE transactions journals on speech recognition.

here is HMM toolkit you can use
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~murphyk/Software/HMM/hmm.html
However, its written using matlab which is a piece of cake to understand. Though the difficulty will come in understanding the mathematics of hidden markov models and its other foundations.
Only a 2 crikey, i practically gave you the solution to your project.

You may want to reply to the OP so he gets an email notification of your reply. Then again, if he isn't interested then I doubt it would make much difference.

Can I somehow find out the total memory my Hashtable uses?
c# example code would be really nice.

Hi!
currently I'm developing my own little mail server (SMTP and POP3).
It works fine so far, but I'm concerned about the speed of my application.
This is, what I use for sending a mail back to a client:
StreamReader lineReader = new StreamReader(new MemoryStream(mail.Data));
while((line = lineReader.ReadLine()) != null)
{
writer.Write(line + "\r\n");
writer.Flush();
}
Even when sending the mail locally via 127.0.0.1 the transfer is very slow, about 100-300Kb per second.
What are the problems here?
One problem I'm aware of is the string concatenation like line + "\r\n". I think I need to use a StringBuilder here, but how to use it correctly in this loop?
Does anyone see any other performance hits here?
regards

First of all, unstead of \r\n, use Environment.NewLine. Then, a stringbuilder gets created before the loop, you add your strings in the loop ( but add the newline on a seperate line, or you're still concatenating strings as you go ). Then use the ToString method to get your string at the end.
The calls to Flush are also expensive and unnecessary, flush once at the end if you need to.

The SMTP and POP3 protocols require data to be ended with CRLF, but some operating systems use something different as NewLine, so I do a "\r\n"

That's what I just implemented. Looks like I had the same idea

Won't this create a terribly large string in memory when I send mails with attachments of several megabytes in size?
Right now the client receives my mails with about 500-800Kbytes/sec, this is a little improvement, but I think this can be done faster.
Okay, using writer.Flush() after the loop makes the whole thing pretty fast, definately >1Mbyte/sec, but what about memory consumption?
regards

Yeah, I thought of that later...

I'm sure it will flush by itself from time to time, but if you're writing to disc, surely forcing the write of every couple of bytes is going to be your biggest time issue ?

I moved the flush call behind the loop and together with the StringBuilder the client receives the mail now with >1Mb/sec now instead of the poor 100-300Kb/sek previously.
thanks!

I don't want to take away from anything that you have already achieved but StringBuilder is probably not a good idea here. Plain concatenation is almost certain to be faster for a small number of operations (up to about half a dozen). StringBuilder only wins when you're doing lots of concatenations to the same string or if the original string is very long (don't ask me to define 'very long'; you would need to experiment).
