Put each IP Search onto a separate thread.
Whatever you sdo though the network response time is likely to be the limiting factor.

IMO bad advice. Using a few threads will help, launching tens or hundreds will result in hitting a bottleneck or a deliberate limitation inside the TCP/IP stack.

This is really bad advice. Did you know that your allocating 1MB of RAM PER THREAD you create and keep running?

I'd look at using the managed thread pool before I start launching threads by the hundreds.

Comparing ObservableCollections and making them same

I'd design it so that I'd have about 5 or 10 or so threads all pulling IP addresses from a queue. Each of these workers would get an IP address, do it's job, report back, and then go get another address. You do NOT create a new thread for each IP address.

Hi I have two ObservableCollections of an UserDefined Class which have an ID Property ,now i want to maintain 1 ObservableCollection locally and get another ObservableCollection from the DataBase,After i get them in one place i want to Compare those 2 ObservableCollections and delete the ID's from the local ObservableCollections which are not present in the ObservableCollections which is latest one(from Database).can some one give me the code for achieving this functionality.....Thanks in Advance

That's not really the way that the forums work. If you have code that doesn't work, we will try to help you fix it, we won't write it for you.

Why don't you have only one collection and each time you clear it and fill with latest data from DB? This will avoid unnecessary looping and deletions from one collection.

VB6 to C# conversion SetIndex issue

xtr33me17-Sep-09 4:20

I was wondering if anyone has run into this problem and gotten around it in any way. Currently I am performing a front end conversion from a VB6 GUI to C#. It is quite a big change and therefore we are performing this in stages. Now in this process we currently are using "Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility.VB6" array objects at times eg.RadioButtonArray, CheckBoxArray, etc.

Now when using these, there is a "SetIndex" method that is used throughout the existing code and it seems that the designer does not like the idea of this method being called when EndInit has been called already. It essentially renders the designer useless and we get an error in the designer. What we currently do is in the "InitializeComponent" method we call only "BeginInit" on the various arrays, and then in the form constructor after "InitializeComponent" is called we have another method we created called "InitializeComponentArrays" which we call all methods needing to call "SetIndex" and then we call their "EndInit" methods. This allows designer to load everything fine until we make any adjustments to the designer. When this happens, the windows generated code inserts all the "EndInit" methods into the "InitializeComponent" method which causes the designer to crash, and I then need to go in and delete the lines that it has entered. It is quite annoying and I felt it was time to reach out and see if anyone else has any better resolutions.

Thanks everyone!

Re: VB6 to C# conversion SetIndex issue [modified]

Two suggestions:

1. don't touch the code inside InitializeComponent(), it isn't your code, it is the Designer's. And the Designer will change it any time it feels like changing it.

2. forget about SetIndex. If you need to easily access one or all of your checkboxes (or any other type of Control), create a collection yourself, by storing the references into a List<CheckBox> or something similar after your constructor called InitializeComponent(). A list accepts an integer index, so you can easily access the n-th checkbox if that is what you need.

Alternatively you can enumerate all top-level Controls of a Form, and pick the one(s) you need, like so:

foreach(Control c in this.Controls) {
    CheckBox cb=c as CheckBox;
    if (cb!=null) {
        // now cb points to one of your checkboxes
    }
}

This is where you can have the luxury of LINQ. How about

foreach (CheckBox  checkbox in from Control c in this.Controls
                         where c.GetType() == typeof(CheckBox)
                         select c as CheckBox)
{
}

This may all be true and beautiful, but it is not what the OP needs; he is struggling with old VB code and fiddling with InitializeComponent(), so lets stick to the essentials and postpone the unnecessary magic.

BTW: I don't think your and my code are equivalent, mine also matches CheckBox derivatives.

premature garbage collection of static class causing problem

Re: premature garbage collection of static class causing problem

17-Sep-09 4:05

Well I know only objects are garbage collected, but please hear me out..

I have a class "serverClass" in my program.cs file in a project. All the members of this class are static, moreover the members of this class are DLLIMPORTS of an unmanaged Dll. This file also has the IDE generated "Program" class which has the Main() function that invokes the Form1 GUI i.e.; Application.Run(new Form1());

Now, I have the Form1.cs file with Form1 class that has buttons and listboxes. The Form1 class has the button events, etc, i have also created a couple of member functions in the Form1 class (startServer() and stopServer()). These functions call the static members of the "serverClass" from the program.cs file. But as I said earlier the serverClass is static class and hence I cannot create an instance to access its functions, instead I go serverClass.function1() (i.e.; className.memberFunction()), serverClass.function2(), etc.

I want to access the startServer() and stopServer() functions on the click of the buttons "Start" and "Stop" respectively. So in the click events of these buttons I call these functions.

The project compiles fine. When I run the application/form and click 'Start' button the startServer() function is called and the server runs fine as desired. But my problem is when I click the 'Stop' button and the stopServer() function is called, I get a runtime error "CallbackOnCollectedDelegate" on the line in the stopServer() function where I call a member of serverClass as serverClass.function2().

I might be wrong in the class structuring itself....I appreciate all the suggestions and ideas.

BTW all of the mentioned classes are in the same namespace.

Re: premature garbage collection of static class causing problem

Without seeing any code, all one can do is guess. Maybe you have some local variables inside your static methods, say a delegate inside serverClass.Start() which is passed to some unmanaged piece of code, and hence all managed references to it are lost, so the next time around the GC will throw it out?

Re: premature garbage collection of static class causing problem

17-Sep-09 4:31

Yes that was my guess too, the serverClass.Start(), takes a variable serverID so it is actually serverClass.Start(serverID); so I defined this variable in the serverClass as public and I use it in the functions as serverClass.Start(serverClass.serverID); and just to verify I tried printing this variable right before the line of error and it prints fine. As a matter of fact I tried accessing another function of serverClass from this position too, this function just reads some data that does not have anything thing to do with server creation or destruction and it works fine too.

But the combination; serverClass.Stop(serverclass.serverID); is problematic.

If the serverID is ok and serverClass.anotherFunction() is ok then what might be the issue???

1. again[^]

2. IMO things that have state should not be modeled as a static.

Re: premature garbage collection of static class causing problem

17-Sep-09 5:18

Thank you for your efforts, but I am bound not to release the code.

I tried making the serverClass as non static and defining its functions and variables as non static too but then: The DllImport attribute must be specified on a method marked 'static' and 'extern'

Oh this is something...
