I though 1 Kelvin == 1 Celsius? Whats the /10 for?
You should also check what decimal.Parse actually returns, to make sure that parts working correctly.

(0 K = -273.15 °C and 273.16 K = 0.01 °C).[^]

Yeah, so 1K = 1°C
Relative, not absolute.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your help,but I dont really understand it. I am just a beginner.
This code works properbly
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
namespace GetCpuTemp
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass(@"root\WMI:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature");
foreach (ManagementObject service in processClass.GetInstances())
{
MessageBox.Show("CPU Temperature: " + service.GetPropertyValue("CurrentTemperature"));
}
}
The messagebox show me a temp. of 3012 kelvin and my problem now is, that I like to convert it to celcius and read it out on a messagebox. Can you please help me, because I dont know how to do it. I tryed this code, but I dont know how to get it out in a massegebox.
static decimal ConvertToCelsius(string reading)
{
return (decimal.Parse(reading) / 10 - 273.15m);
}
Regards Kennet

Really ? In that case, you are definately very much a beginner. You should buy a very basic C# book and work through it, instead of relying on these forums, you're not really ready to make this your main source of information.
Never call decimal.Parse, use TryParse so your code never blows up.
Two clues:
1 - every object in C# has a tostring method
2 - if you concatenate anything to a string, C# calls that for you, for free.

All,
I have a requirement to find out where a particular process was started from (c:\somepath for example).
The system.diagnostics namespace doesnt appear to have this info, does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
|
|

It does have the info, but its a little hidden. What you need to look at is Process.MainModule.FileName.
So this would show you the paths for all the currently running processes:
foreach(Process proc in Process.GetProcesses())
{
MessageBox.Show(proc.MainModule.FileName);
}

Hello everyone,
I am new to this API. After some study, Application.Exit should only be used in Forms application, and in console/Windows service application without any GUI Window, we should not use it to exit application, right?
thanks in advance,
George

|

Cool, Urs!
I think the answer is, in console and Windows service application, Aplication.Exit has no use and it is not used to cause process to terminate, right?
regards,
George

Application.Exit will never terminate the process.
Normally you have something like this in your winforms app:
public void Main()
{
MyForm form = new MyForm();
Application.Run(form);
}
Application.Exit will cause that the Application.Run method returns to the Main method and then, of course, the process will end, because nothing is done afterwards.
best regards
Urs

Thanks Urs,
So, for console application and Windows service application without GUI, Application.Exit is useless, right?

George

If there is no Application.Run process running, then the Application.Exit function is useless.
As far as i'm aware your statement is true.
Cheers,

Cool, Mark!
Question answered.

Hi George,
A lot of applications don't need Application.Exit(), even Windows Forms applications
can do without if one wants them to only terminate when the main form gets closed.
Service means no forms, means no Application.Exit().
I trust you are aware of Environment.Exit()?

Yes, Luc! Currently, I am using Environment.Exit (-1). And I want to keep on learning new things. Is Environment.Exit safe that no resource leak will occur (and all expected exception handler and finally blocks are executed)?
regards,
George

Hi George,
1.
yes Environment.Exit() will clean up and avoid leaks.
Everything that terminates a process will clean up the resources allocated by
the process itself, that is basic functionality in Windows itself.
Nevertheless, it is good practice to do it explicitly;
and you should clean up if your program has two or more parts that are rather
independent, so after part 1 you could and should clean up before starting
part 2, so part 2 gets a maximum of available resources (memory, handles, whatever)
and hence gets the best performance.
2.

Why don't you try it? you really should replace some of your questions by
looking it up yourself and/or testing it yourself. Here is enough code to
figure it out (put it in e.g. a button click handler):
try {
Application.Exit();
} finally {
StreamWriter tw=File.CreateText("finally.txt");
tw.Close();
}

Cool, Luc!
Finally block is not executed. I think the reason is, process is terminated by Environment.Exit, and resources are released by Windows, so there is no need to execute finally block, right?

George

Hi George,
George_George wrote: Finally block is not executed
It was executed in my experiment, with the code snippet in a button click handler,
the file got generated in \bin\debug folder.

Hi Luc, can you post your code please? Finally block is not executed, here is my code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Environment.Exit(-1);
}
finally
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
}
}
}
}
regards,
George

Hi George,
you already have my code[^].
I am not surprised your code snippet is fooling you, after all you ask it to
perform console I/O where the application is exiting, hence forms, consoles,
and other UI stuff is winding down. The file system however remains alive to
the very end of the app.

Sorry Luc,
Here is your code, the finally blocked is not executed. Could you reproduce? I am confused.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Environment.Exit(-1);
}
finally
{
StreamWriter tw = File.CreateText("finally.txt");
tw.Close();
}
}
}
}
regards,
George

Hi George,
my example was on Application.Exit() which causes an Application.Run() to return,
I guess asynchronously by sending a Windows message or something; so the thread
has the opportunity to first execute the finally block.
Your test was on Environment.Exit() which, from your observation, seems to cause
an immediate exit. I trust the exact behavior is hidden somewhere in the documentation.

Thanks Luc,
I think for console and Windows Service application, we should never use Application.Exit, right?
