Hello PIEBALDconsult
Well that's a whole other situation than what you described in the original post.
Not really :
My need is to schedulle to run a C# application once a day for some days of the week
And I provide an UI to set those days
As I said my C# application do the job (getting date, create report)
My application can also read the xml setings file created by the UI
I can of course run my application as a service but I see some advantage to keep it as an exe file and try to les Windows schedulle it
1- As long as it only needs to run maximum once a day it is not efficient to let a servis running all the time
2- With an exe we keep the ability to manualy launch som "extra run" if needed

Don't think so small. If this project is a success they'll ask you to write other such reports that may have to run more than once a day or on demand.
It'll be easier in the long run if you provide such flexibility from the start.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes of course,
I agree with you, but practicaly I'll still be happy to understand how to setup the windows scheduller programatically
Maybe by simply execute taskschd.exe using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start?

That's how I've done it in the past. But there oughta be a better way.

Do you know some ?

No, and I just found this[^].

I wrote some code for that and use it in a windows service:

Thank you John !
I'll have a look on that

I am trying to transmit about 75Kbytes of image data at 115200 baud. Ideally it should take about 5 secs. But this code seems to loop forever. Am I missing something obvious here?
#define rows 288
#define cols 352
for (j=rows-2; j>=0; j-=2)
{
for (i = (j*cols); i<((j*cols)+cols); i++)
{
cam_output = ram_read(i*4);
SendBuffer[0] = (cam_output >> 24) & 0xff;
SendBuffer[1] = (cam_output >> 16) & 0xff;
SendBuffer[2] = (cam_output >> 8) & 0xff;
uart_send(&SendBuffer, 3);
}
}
void uart_send(u8 *DataBufferPtr, unsigned int NumBytes)
{
int i;
for (i=0; i<NumBytes; i++)
{
XUartLite_SendByte(XPAR_UARTLITE_0_BASEADDR, *(DataBufferPtr+i));
}
}

Hi,
that is not C# code, so you're in the wrong forum.
your code does not look good
I'm not going to study it in any detail, unless you put it inside PRE tags (you can still edit your message)
is the other side receiving anything? how much?
does your code ever finish (say within calculated time * 10)?
|
|
|
|
|
@Luc: On the other side, my image file keeps growing > 1.8MB. The code never finishes.
|
|
|
|
|
so look at what is in the file; there should be 288/2 * 352 * 3 = about 150KB:
- are the first 150KB what you expect? if not, is there a pattern in the differences?
- what's there after 150KB?
this is call debugging: observe, observe closer, when something isn't what it seems, look at an earlier point, bring the last good point and the first bad point closer together, until you know where it goes wrong, then fix it.
|
|

|

Yes, I did check the image. It was garbled. Then I realized my mistake in the calculation of rows and cols... it should be 144 x 176.
But that didnt solve the infinite loop until i was able to debug on hardware. I noticed j decreased to 0 and then increased back to the highest (32bit) value. Realized the mistake of making j unsigned int .
Loop ends now
Thank you!

Some compilers warn when a test is bound to always result in the same value; apparently yours didn't then.
I always use my compiler at the highest warning level, and massage the code until it emits zero warnings!
|
|
|
|
|
True. I am compiling this in the Xilinx SDK.
|
|
|
|
|
Starting with the fact that your code does not compile as it stands, I have got it to run through in a couple of minutes; obviously without the data transfer. I guess you should check that the data is actually getting transmitted OK.
[edit]Also note this is C++ so should be in that forum[/edit]

hi,
Simple question. I'm trying to get the xml in an XmlDocument variable into a string. Seems like its a tough thing and I tried the OuterText property but it gives me encoded text like : >< So, does anybody have a decent solution to this.
Thanks
Gideon

Try this:
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
XmlTextWriter xw = new XmlTextWriter(sw);
xmlDoc.WriteTo(xw);
return sw.ToString();
where xmlDoc is your xml doc
Let me know if it works
|
|
|
|
|
|
nope, both solutions have encoded text!

Hi,
Quick and simple question 
Is there a simple way to sync a sql2005 db with a sqlCe database on a mobile device.
Is there a default path on a windows mobile device where i can connect to (c:\....) ?
I need a fixed path on the mobile device to push the updates to.
Thanks for the advice.
grtz

Let's say you define this class (at the namespace level; i.e., outside
a form or whatever)
public class anyDamnList<T> : List<T>
{
public anyDamnList() { }
}
And you declare and use it ... in a form's code ... with no problems :
anyDamnList<int> aYIntList = new anyDamnList<int>();
aYIntList.Add(100);
aYIntList.Add(200);
Console.WriteLine(aYIntList[1]);
List<int> intList3 = new List<int> { 9, 19, 22, 44 };
aYIntList.Clear();
aYIntList.AddRange(intList3);
Console.WriteLine(aYIntList[3]);
Here's the question : is there any other way than using 'Clear() and then 'AddRange
to replace the "virtual inner list" <T> "embodied" via inheritance in the class ?
1. you cannot assign to an instance of the class : aYIntList = intList3;
You get this error : "Error Cannot implicitly convert type
'System.Collections.Generic.List<int>' to
'WindowsFormsApplication1.anyDamnList<int>'. An explicit conversion
exists (are you missing a cast?_
2. you can't cast like this : aYIntList = (anyDamnList<int>) intList3
: that will NOT give you a compile time error but at run-time you get
: ""Unable to cast object of type
'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Int32]' to type
'WindowsFormsApplication1.anyDamnList`1[System.Int32]'."}
3. I played around with Linq's OfType<> and Cast<> operators
aYIntList = intList3.OfType<int>();
aYIntList = intList3.Cast<int>();
Both of those will throw compile time errors like so : "Cannot
implicitly convert type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<int>'
to 'WindowsFormsApplication1.anyDamnList<int>'. An explicit conversion
exists (are you missing a cast?)"
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844

You could write an implicit (or explicit) conversion operator.
Or write a ClearAndAddRange method.
Edit:
OK, a conversion operator won't work:
user-defined conversions to or from a base class are not allowed
and
user-defined conversions to or from an interface are not allowed
But a copy constructor will work:
public anyDamnList
(
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<T> Source
)
{
this.AddRange ( Source ) ;
return ;
}
anyDamnList<int> ai = new anyDamnList<int> ( intList3 ) ;

Hi PieBaldConsult,
Well, I thought I was writing 'implicit and/or 'explicit conversion operators in the attempts I documented in the question that result in compile-time and run-time errors.
And, while, yes, I could write a ClearAndAddRange method : the whole purpose of the question is part of my "self-education" in Linq which (for me) is best done by posing problems and then trying to solve them.
I have the feeling that somewhere there's a way to use some of the Linq commands like ConvertAll, Cast, OfType that will do the "right thing" easily. to get from one List<int> instance into a form that can be assigned to an instance of 'anyDamnList.
After all, if you build the example and type instanceOfAnyDamnList. ... you get the intellisense you expect including methods like 'Count.
This is the kind of question that Jon Skeet could answer in his sleep
Thanks for responding !
best, Bill
