ok..how to ensure that both the sizes are the same..i mean if i declare array of size 5 (5 x 8 = 40bytes) should be the same in C# also.

I've just edited my previous reply as it appears that double is 8bytes (64 bits) in managed and unmanaged environments Confused | :confused:

Hi Dave,

native float typically uses 4 bytes, and double doubles that, hence the name.
managed float always uses 4 bytes, and double 8 bytes.

Hi,

three remarks:

1.

shivapriyak wrote:
public static extern int func1(ref double param[], int size);

I doubt you need the ref there. Objects (array is object) get passed by reference, so what you get is a pointer to the data anyway. With "ref" you get a pointer to a pointer, which you would then have to accept as a double**param.

2.

I typically don't rely on automatics marshaling, instead I use GCHandle class to pin the object and get its pointer into an IntPtr, then pass that to the native world. However, I am not saying your way could not work (without ref!).

3.

How the heck can the function now that???

1. I have tried removing 'ref' and giving just double param[] in PInvoke...it didn't work Frown | :(

2. Tried using GCHandle class as below:

int func1(double param[],int size)
{
GCHandle handle = GCHandle.Alloc(param, GCHandleType.Pinned);
Pinvoke.func1(handle.AddrOfPinnedObject(),size);
}
The Pinvoke class is as:
[DllImport("myFile.dll",EntryPoint="func1",CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern int func1(IntPtr handle, int size);

But it didn't work...is this correct way? or do i need to tweak at some place.

Thanks,
Priya.

looks good, except when done you need to free the GCHandle.

SQLite in C#

Hello. I'm using SQLite and System.Data.SQLite.
If I create a new table, the file size is 2KB.
After insert 1000 records, the file size will be 34KB.
If I delete all record, the file size remain 34KB.
If I send SELECT command, the table is empty.

Why ?

Thanks.

Why ?

Because a delete does not reclaim disk space (that would be a very wasteful use of system resources). Databases don't tend to allocate space as records are added, they allocate space in blocks and then insert records to the allocated space (it's much more efficient for them to do this as it results in less I/O activity on the disk).

Hi,

you are getting an empty table because you deleted all records before. The file size of the database will not shrink if you delete rows because that would mean a reordering of the internal structure (db-records are stored in pages etc.). Some databases (especially for mobile applications) offer a shrink-command. This will result in the reordering and a smaller file.

At least: Please choose the correct forum for your question, I think "General Database" would be a better place.

I have not really read your code but my first guess would be your buffer array size is causing the issue. The buffer should not contain all the data else you may as well use the stream itself.

Try a buffer size of 1024 - that's a common size that is used.

yes i set the buffer size to 1024
it working but in process it threw exception couple of time "The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive."

Try creating the response stream (and closing it) outside of the while loop then just write the buffer contents in each loop.

Two things.

i = stream.Read(buffer,0, buffer.Length)

That's fine, but later on

reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

You try to send the whole buffer, but if you only read 215 bytes in to the buffer in the first place then you would be sending garbage.

You should use the variable you set before to make sure you only send what you read in.

reqStream.Write(buffer, 0, i);

It would probably be fine since the whole file would be put in the buffer, but just to be safe.

As for your other problem, if you use BeginWrite you need to wait until the callback before closing the stream, at the moment you could be closing the stream while you're still trying to send data down it.

If you where to use the regular Write method, you would probably want to check how many bytes where actually written and make sure you send all of your data.

MySQL restore database through c#

mariamkhaqan30-Jun-09 2:06

Hi I have used multiple ways to restore mysql schema through c# but it doesnot seems to work as the database doesnot restores properly,
please tell me what to do, my code for restore is as under

string filename = backupName;
                StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(filename);
                file.WriteLine("@ECHO off");
                file.WriteLine("cls");
                file.WriteLine("set DBchoice=%1%");
                file.WriteLine("set User=%2%");
                file.WriteLine("set Password=%3%");
                file.WriteLine("set pathchoice=%4%");
                file.WriteLine("");
                file.WriteLine("@REM Remove double quotes from the path");
                file.WriteLine("@REM SET pathchoice=%pathchoice:\"=%");
                file.WriteLine("@REM SET pathchoice=%pathchoice:\"=%");
                file.WriteLine("");
                file.WriteLine("mysql -u " + Id + " --password=" + pwd + " " + dbName + "<" + path);

                file.Close();

the other one is

StreamReader file = new StreamReader(path);
                ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
                string cmd = string.Format(@"-u{0} -p{1} -h{2} {3} {4} {5}", Id, pwd, serverHost, dbName + "<", path);
                proc.FileName = "mysql";
                proc.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                proc.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
                proc.Arguments = cmd;//"-u root -p smartdb > testdb.sql";
                proc.UseShellExecute = false;
                Process p = Process.Start(proc);
                string res;

                res = file.ReadToEnd();
                p.StandardInput.Write(res);

                // res = p.StandardInput.Write .StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
                //file.WriteLine(res);
                p.WaitForExit();
                file.Close();
                return "Data restored successfully";

please give me any suggestions

regards,
Mariam

I've try this code and it's work fine!

StreamReader file = new StreamReader(restoreFile);
ProcessStartInfo proc = new ProcessStartInfo();
string cmdArgs = string.Format(@"-u{0} -p{1} -h{2} {3}", UserID, Password, Location, DatabaseName);
proc.FileName = "C:\\Program Files\\MySQL\\MySQL Server 5.1\\bin\\mysql.exe";
proc.RedirectStandardInput = true;
proc.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
proc.Arguments = cmdArgs;
proc.UseShellExecute = false;
Process p = Process.Start(proc);
string res = file.ReadToEnd();
file.Close();
p.StandardInput.WriteLine(res);
p.Close();

"&lt;" or "<" can causes error because ProcessStartInfo doesn't recognize it!
Good Luck!
