This is a real pain in C# - we have to do div and mod seperately and therefore do the same operation twice, since cpu returns both values from div command.

not correct; you can do long << int which is what you need; simply do the AND instead of the modulo, cast to int, then shift.

optimum = no table, no method, just a few in-line statements.

My question: Is there any sens in caching masks? that is: {0x0, 0x1, 0x2,... ,0x10, 0x20,....0x100000...}. It would take 0,5 kB.

Only on old CPU's that don't have a single cycle shift by cl

Also, I would really ditch the % and / and use & and >> instead. The optimizer of the JIT compiler does optimize divisions and modulo's by constants, but for signed integers (even when it's trivial to prove that they can not be negative at that point) it wants to perfectly match real modulo en real division (which is not needed since it's not going to be negative anyway)

like: return (table[bit >> 6] & (1ul << bit)) != 0

Why redundant? What if bit=213? I should look at 21th bit of 3rd integer. That is, table[2] & (1ul << 21);

Bitwise shifts in C# do an implicit shiftamount & (BITSIZE - 1)
Actually x86's do that already by themselves, provided that you used the right operand size (which is always the case for 64bit shifts, but the JIT compiler emits the and instruction anyway)

hi,

Are both the files having same structure i.e common tags ,
in this case if you use a class serialization method to read this XML file it can be very handy! You can create the class object of each file and actually come to know which tag is having diffent data.. hope this helps u.. Smile | :)

Best of luck

hi prasad,

Here a link how you use Xml serialisation in C# http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms950721.aspx

1)your need to build your own class as same stucture as that of the Xml
2) then populate the data in class using XmlReader and input both the files http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmltextreader.aspx
3)create instances of class created with two files
4)maybe override the = operater to generate the report of what all data on which tag differ

Hope i am clear!!! Wink | ;)

Let me get this straight.

for 2 xml files which have the same structure you would deserialize your xml into classes and override the whole map's equals functioality and then compare your 2 maps to try to determine if there are any differences.

instead of, say, just comparing the xml to each other using string comparison?

Come on, thats far too easy. Where's the opportunity to create abstract classes, interfaces, several layers of inheritance, sub-classes and all the rest of the bloat so it looks like we are earning our crust Smile | :)

Newbie struggling with ArgumentException

x3mjeff14-Jan-10 16:55

Hi,

As the subject states I'm a complete newbie in programming.
I've coded a little program that uses picture boxes to display images of dices.
After filling the picture boxes with an image a PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image.Dispose() is executed.
All the loops I'm using work fine, but if I press the "Alt" or "Alt Gr" key on the keyboard after the button_Click event has run an ArgumentException gets thrown.
The stack trace doesn't make me any wiser though. I've copied it to be able to post it so here it is:

bij System.Drawing.Image.get_Width()
bij System.Drawing.Image.get_Size()
bij System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox.ImageRectangleFromSizeMode(PictureBoxSizeMode mode)
bij System.Windows.Forms.PictureBox.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)

bij System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state)
bij System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
bij System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

I've been trying to figure out what happens for quite a while now but to no avail.
I'm really completely stuck on this.
If someone could help me understand what causes the exception I'd be very thankful.
I'm not asking for a solution just help to figure out what in heaven's name is going on.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

I'm curious as to why you Dispose() of the images?
they are in use in the picture box, so disposing them will lead to problems!
maybe that's even the cause (for some twisted reason) of your mysterious problem.
but do dispose of the images, ONCE you got rid of them!

A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station....

Hi Super Lloyd,

Thanks for responding.
About the reason to dispose of the images.
In an application I wrote earlier a picture box control was also used.
When starting the application I also started task manager and observed what happened.
The picture boxes really eat away memory if the images are not disposed of.

Greetz and thanks,

Jeff

you can't successfully call Dispose() on an Image inside a PictureBox.

this would be the proper way to switch a PictureBox from image1 to image2:

Image newImage=...;                      // get a new image (maybe from disk)
Image oldImage=pb.Image;
pb.Image=newImage;                       // first replace the old image by the new one
if (oldImage!=null) oldImage.Dispose();  // assuming we never need that old image again in this app

Hi Luc,

Thanks for replying.
You made me think about what was going on and yes sir problem solved.
Seeing that I disposed of the images after every loop it's quite obvious that in the next run no images were available.
The solution was actually fairly easy.
Before I dispose of the image I use a boolean expression to determine whether or not an image is present.
Like this:

if (PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image != null) 
{
    PictureBox[pictureBoxNumber].Image.Dispose();
}

Greetz and thanks for the insight,

Jeff

that is not good enough, you can't dispose of that image as it is still in use by the PictureBox itself,
you really should do it the way I have shown: copy the reference to a local variable, remove the image from the PictureBox, and only then dispose of it.

Smile | :)

Hi,
my regex works fine in a regextest tool its just only when i try to filter the content via c# it doesnt work. here is my code

string fName = @"data.txt";//path to text file            StreamReader testTxt = new StreamReader(fName);            string allRead = testTxt.ReadToEnd();//Reads the whole text file to the end            testTxt.Close(); //Closes the text file after it is fully read.            string regMatch = @"(?<=\<div class=""middleadimggold""\>).*?(?=\</div\>)"; //string to search for inside of text file. It is case sensitive.            if (Regex.IsMatch(allRead, regMatch))//If the match is found in allRead            {                Console.WriteLine("found\n");            }            else            {                Console.WriteLine("not found\n");            }

part of the content that should match

<div class="middleadimggold">



<a class="asdf" href="http://www.asdf">
asdf</a>
<p>
asdf</p>
<p>asdf</p><p>asdf</p>

<p><span class="blue">asdf</span>
<a class="de" href="http://www.4asdf"><span class="a">(See on map)</span></a></p>

<p><span class="blue">asdf</span></p>



<span class="xx">


asdf
</span>

</div>

please note the spacing in the content, not sure if it matters?
