No. DateTime is a value time (a struct), no references involved.

DateTime.Now as well as the system clock get updated only a few times a second (typ. 60 Hz); see my timers article. If you need better accuracy, use a Stopwatch.

How about searching it in codeproject, search for "OCR". You find lots of article of it.

Hi, I'm currently working on a cyber cafe program and I need to use 2 timers for each table's calculations and there are 25 tables(pc's).The question is, does using many timers(with 100ms intervals) have any impact on the performance?
And referring to 2 timers, there are two different calculations(time and price)which occur at different intervals.Is it possible to handle them in one timer?
last question(sorry  ) Is it good to make all controls and variables public to access from other forms?
Your help would be appreciated,thanks
|

I can answer the last, and probably the second of those.
teknolog123 wrote: two different calculations(time and price)which occur at different intervals.Is it possible to handle them in one timer?
Only if the two intervals happen at multiples of each other. If one is due at 100ms and the other at 123ms intervals, then you cannot handle them both easily from the same timer. If one is due ate 100ms and the other at 500ms intervals, then yes, just count 5 instances of the timer event.
teknolog123 wrote: Is it good to make all controls and variables public to access from other forms?
No. This is very bad practice as it locks the design of your form, and you cannot change it without making changes in an unknown number of other forms. Use public properties instead, as the underlying form elements are hidden and can be changed without affecting external code.

I already use public properties for variables but have no idea what would be the best way to access another form's controls without compromising performance.Any idea?
thanks
|
|
|

It is really not a good idea to directly access the controls on another form: If you later change from say 5 text boxes to a single listview, then how many other forms are dependant on that code? You have find and modify all of those. Instead, use public methods and properties - I wouldn't worry to much about any performance hit, it is cheaper to upgrade the PC than to waste programmer time fixing problems you create with bad design in the first place!

Hi,
I see no problem in running 50 timers at once. (I tested with Windows.Forms.Timers)
If all intervals are 100 msec, then:
1) your average handler should finish in 2 milliseconds, otherwise your app will accumulate a delay;
2) I see no reason to have separate timers, as they will all tick at the same time;
Anyway:
1) I would avoid running that many timers; it tells me something is wrong in your design; I would start by using one timer for everything, and add many handlers to it.
2) It seems to me you are polling something, rather than relying on events. What is it that you are testing in the tick handler?
3) why would you need a 100 msec interval? are you charging customers for connection time up to a fraction of a second???

Could you please give me an example of adding handler to a timer?
Luc Pattyn wrote: 2) It seems to me you are polling something, rather than relying on events. What is it that you are testing in the tick handler?
Basicly the timer will increase the price and time every x minutes, that's it(all pc's will increase at the same interval even if some pc's are off and some are on)
Luc Pattyn wrote: 3) why would you need a 100 msec interval? are you charging customers for connection time up to a fraction of a second???
No I am not that miser. There are times that I give customers extra plus or minus minutes for delays/breaks. And of course this action requires changes on the time and price.When I use intervals like x minutes, It doesn't update the form right away

Hi,
myTimer.Tick+=new EventHandler(t_Tick);
myTimer.Tick+=myFirstHandler;
myTimer.Tick+=mySecondHandler;
...
myTimer.Tick+=myTenthHandler;

So you did something wrong in the implementation. That's no reason to alter your design.
I'll stick with a single timer, and have it run every 1 or 10 seconds or so. And I'd make sure all the forms show up-to-date information all the time.

This could be a huge problem depending on what operating system.
Terminal server 2000 will lock up (even with 1 timer you get that chance)
Terminal server 2003 will maybe lock up
All the rest are ok tho (haven't tested it with TS 2008)

I'm not familiar with Terminal Server, I only consider serious operating systems such as Windows XP and Windows Vista (I'll probably add Windows Seven to the list next year).
Obviously all functionality in the end would be limited by some system metric (available CPU power, memory size, disk size, bus bandwidth, etc.); and some by deliberate restrictions...

I ran a 100-timer test on Vista before I replied.
I developed my text differ and wrote my mean-and-lean article on Vista.
For the last two years I basically do 99% of my work on Vista.
Over 90% of the software I was using on XP before, ran fine on Vista right away.
Even software that dates back from the nineties runs fine on Vista.
IMO most of the Vista bashing is undeserved.
I am aware there are some issues; there were some when XP was launched too.

I do know how to use a loop. 
And yes I test before I reply when I'm not quite sure.
(The most extreme I once did was downloading and installing a Fortran compiler in order to answer a simple Fortran question around here; I hadn't used the language in some 20 years, and never on a PC; but hey it worked very well on a PC!)
