SQL is primarily a set-based language that happens to have elements of a procedural language in order for it to fit with existing code bases.

That's great. However, storage is one thing, retrieval is another.

of course if u are using OO.

I've used an OO database in the past and I can't say that I was all that impressed with its performance.

I've been trying to figure out how to extract information from all the windows presently on the desktop for about a week now. I've made it a ways, but now I am most thoroughly stuck. The following code I've gathered from various places. It compiles fine in VS 2005 RC1 against the .NET 2.0 framework.
However, at runtime it gets hung up when trying to return the windowlist. It gives a generic error and stops execution when it attemps to run the following line:
foreach (Window x in Windows)<br />
{<br />
Windows.Add(x.Title + ": " + x.hWnd.ToString());<br />
}
Here is the entire rest of the code. It should compile for you fine, with a simple cut and paste job.
I really need to get this code working. If you have the time, and want to chat: my AIM is navinineteen.

I didn't look at the whole code block you posted, but only the first part. I noticed there is a big problem that will cause it to crash:
<br />
foreach (Window x in Windows)<br />
{<br />
Windows.Add(x.Title + ": " + x.hWnd.ToString());<br />
}<br />
You'll notice that you're saying for every Window object in the Windows IList you are adding a new windows object to the IList.
Windows.Add is adding a new Window to the list you are enumerating!! This will cause it to never end and eventually run out of memory. Now the compiler is supposed to tell you that you can't change the value of a list while it's in use in a loop, but who knows why it didn't.

Can anybody give me any information on creating a taskbar application (ie when you minimize windows media player, or TrueLaunchBar). Any information or links would be great.
Thanks

How can I determine the col number and row number of the current cursor position in a richTextBox control?? I really need that very fast.
Regards
|
|
|
|
|
Use GetLineFromCharIndex(theRichTextBox.SelectionStart) to retrieve the line/row number.
To get the column number you'll have to count the characters from SelectionStart backwards until you reach '\n'.

Im now starting to think of developing a big chat system
which will need to handle up to 1000 clients connected at once.
my question is how it would of be the best way to handle all of the 1000 clients??
a thread for each client isnt too much ?
|
|
|
|
|
You're right, creating a thread for each client won't scale. The best way to go about this is to use a threadpool. There is the System.Threading.ThreadPool[^] class provided by the .NET Framework. If you don't find it sufficient for your needs, there are also custom implementations of managed threadpools, a simple search in CP for "ThreadPool" should give you plenty of results.

Isnt thread pool can proccess only 25 threads at a time? (max)
and 1000 active socket will create me a bottle neck
|
|
|
|
|
That limit is per processor, so if you have a dual processor machine, then it's 50 threads. If you want more threads than that, then it defeats the very purpose of having the threadpool. The basic assumption behind using a threadpool is you can distribute the work among a few precreated threads, so you have never have one thread idle and another doing all the work.
You can have a look here[^] if you want a custom implementation of Threadpools.

If i understand right threadpool are good for threads which dont do much work
and alot of time under wait state
isnt it the exact opposite of my problem?
alot of active sockets ?
|
|
|
|
|
Again, what you say is true for the system provided threadpool thread. I'm saying this for the umpteenth time, you can always find custom implementations of it on the web.

I did something like this using remoting, delegates and events. It was pretty easy. I would avoid the mutithread, because it can become complex and it will slow you proformance with that many threads open.

I have created a a WinForm app. I (obviously) have Form1.design and
a Form1.cs file that I can see and access. I have then added a generic class (say-- class Foo) using the wizard in the class view.
Now here's the problem: for some reason the solution view "wipes out"
the Foo.cs file view and replaces it with a Foo.design view icon as well as creating a Foo Form. Why? I don't want ANY other Form in my project but Form1 and I wan't only the Foo.cs file in the solution explorer? please help thanks a lot......
|
|
|
|

I've never seen the problem before.
Are you absolutely sure you added a Class file to the project instead of another Form?

Hello all
can any one tell me if it is possible to make a car animation in picture box with some background which is also a picture some gif or bmp.if some one can tell me this then it is highly appreciable.thanks

You can manage this also in panel just overriding the OnPaint method. Using PaintEventArgs.Graphics draw background image and the car frame over it.
Use double-buffering to prevent flickering.

Hi All,
I have this peculiar requirement.....I have a windows application developed in C#. The main form of the application doesnt have a "Title bar" (this is as per the design requirement..)...
Now, whenever we do Alt+Tab, the associated "Icon" as well as the content of the "Titlebar" of any window is displayed in the popup that comes up....But in my case, I can see only the associated Icon, but not the "Title" (as there is no "Titlebar" in the first place) .
Any means by which I can display this info as well, without actually having the "Title" bar
|
|
|
|
|
The only way I can think to do this is to enable/disable the title bar on the form in the "LostFocus" and "GotFocus" events. This way when the form is not in focus, it has a title bar and can be tabbed to. Then when it gets tabbed to the title bar disappears before the user sees it. The only problem here is that when there are two applications on the window side by side, you could lose focus without actually covering up the app so the user may see the title bar every now and then.

I wonder if u can help me in solving the following problem:
I want to divide a number by 10 and get the result as the highest number.
Let me explain with following examples:
13/10 = 2 and
27/10 = 3
I am using Math.Ceiling to get the higher value, but the problem is that it only works for double value. I have the following code:
decimal weight = 20.1;
decimal MaxWeight = 20;
double weightInDouble = Convert.ToDouble(weight);
double PackageWeight = Convert.ToDouble(MaxWeight);
double NumberOfPackagesNeeded = Math.Ceiling(weightInDouble / PackageWeight);
However, the problem I am facing is that if the weight=20.1 and I convert it to double value, I get 40.2, and this would give me a wrong answer.
So how can I get the higher value when I divide two decimal values.
regards
