Hi,
I suggest you switch to GlobalMemoryStatusEx() and MemoryStatusEx (with "long" members)
since IIRC the old ones don't cope with memory sizes beyond 2GB.

On top of what Luc said, you say you got negative numbers?? How?? Since unsigned integers can't return negative numbers, you had to use some calculation that introduced them. This says that your methodolgy is wrong.

GlobalMemoryStatus(out stat);
usrSysInfo.totalPhysicalMemory =(UInt32)IPAddress.NetworkToHostOrder((int)stat.TotalPhysical);
tempArray = BitConverter.GetBytes(usrSysInfo.totalPhysicalMemory);
SysInfoMemStream.Seek(offset, SeekOrigin.Begin);
SysInfoMemStream.Write(tempArray, 0, sizeof(UInt32));
offset += sizeof(UInt32);
I am converting the data to NetworktoHostOrder and convert to byte and trasfer it to the server. Server will do reverse process and get the actual data..
I dont know how the RAM value is in negative.
Similary i want to know whether the GLobalMemoryStatusEx method returns the actuall RAM isntalled in the machine or the RAM available to the users.

Hi,
GLobalMemoryStatusEx returns physical memory, with a few MB deducted for unknown reasons (same thing occurs in Task Manager, it shows 3069MB for 3GB !)

but why its returning negative junk value instead of -1 ???

If a function returns a value you don't like, the most likely cause is you did something wrong. In this case, did you set the Length member of the struct correctly? It is different for
MemoryStatusEx!

i am using like this (in C# code)
stat.Length = Marshal.SizeOf(stat);
because it is not accepting
stat.Length = sizeof(stat);
will it give the correct length of the MemoryStatus
|

if you doubt it, then check it; why would you need or want spoon feeding?
You can see how large the struct is from its definition, and you can watch the value you assign to Length.

sorry , will set the actual value.
why i asked is i tried using Marshall.sizeof function once. it doesnt work proeprly for me. so i took the size by counting the size of every variable in a struct
|
|
|
|

sizeof and Marshal.SizeOf may return different values, they do represent different things.
sizeof is the size as a managed object, Marshal.SizeOf is the size when marshaled to the native world.

I knew it was something you did... There's where the negative number is coming from. You converted stat.TotalPhysical to a signed integer, instead of leaving it unsigned.
|
|
|
|

but i am converting NetworkToHostOrder to UInt32 right ??
NetWorkToHostOder accepts only int , long , short of C# datatype. tahts why i have converted it to int.
Oh will the uint to int creates negative value ???

there is a 50% probability they do.
have you any idea how the number representation works?
half of the Uint32 numbers have their highest bit set indicating a value >= 2GB
when looking at the same bit pattern as an Int32 it will be negative.

let me check the server side code and check how these values got converted.
Thanks you to both of you.

I can't for the life of me work out how to implement this in f#
protected override IEnumerable<shapedef> GetShapeDefinition()
{
// Yield out a Box2D shape definition
PolygonDef def = new PolygonDef();
def.VertexCount = 3;
def.Vertices[0] = new Vector2(0f, 6f);
def.Vertices[1] = new Vector2(-2f, -3f);
def.Vertices[2] = new Vector2(2f, -3f);
def.Restitution = 0f;
def.Friction = 1f;
def.Density = 1f;
yield return def;
}
The closest I've come is this
override x.GetShapeDefinition = seq<shapedef>{
let def = new PolygonDef()
def.VertexCount <- 3
def.Vertices.(0) <- new Vector2(1.0f, 2.0f)
def.Vertices.(1) <- new Vector2(-2.0f,-3.0f)
def.Vertices.(2) <- new Vector2(2.0f,-3.0f)
def.Restitution <- 0.0f
def.Friction <- 1.0f
def.Density <- 1.0f
yield (def :> ShapeDef)
}
But I get
No abstract property was found that corresponds to this override. (FS0191) - C:\Users\Matthew\Documents\SharpDevelop Projects\FSharpGame\FSharpGame\Ship.fs:20,14

Got it to work;
override this.GetShapeDefinition() = seq<shapedef>{
let def = new PolygonDef()
def.VertexCount <- 3
def.Vertices.[0] <- new Vector2(1.0f, 2.0f)
def.Vertices.[1] <- new Vector2(-2.0f,-3.0f)
def.Vertices.[2] <- new Vector2(2.0f,-3.0f)
def.Restitution <- 0.0f
def.Friction <- 1.0f
def.Density <- 1.0f
yield (def :> ShapeDef)
}

I have created Abc.msi File using setup and Deployment from Visual Studio 2008. I would like to test this in vertual machine before installing to a client machine. I followed these procedures
1. install .net framework 3.5 on Virtual Machine
2. then install Abc.msi
I gets installed perfectly fine but when I try to open that it Gives me error saying that --
"Abc" encountred some problem. How can I overcome this problem? Any help will be appreciated.
In that winform I have one of the function "print" that prints in Excel file. Vertual machine does have office 2007 installed.
Thank you

If you're using the Office interop, then you'll have to have Excel installed.
Use the Assembly Binding Log Viewer[^] to make sure that missing assemblies is the problem that you're encountering.

What are the differences between singleton and pooling?
If singleton design pattern is used to have just one connection.
Also, we know that the connection pooling helps to organise the connections.
How are hese two things similar and different?
Many Thanks....

A Singleton implementation should guarantee that there is ONE AND ONLY ONE instance of a particular object in a system.
A pool is a management object that contains resources. It is generally used to maintain high-cost connections to resources and limit the number of the resources generated by the system.

Can we have a practical explanation of that? More elaborate...
t.a.

 - Singleton Example
- Let's say that you're implementing an interpreter for a scripting language that contains some mathematical operators. Now, you design your language so that none of the objects that implement the operators (such as AddOperator, MultOperator) have state, just a collection of methods. To reduce the memory consumption of the interpreter, you can choose to have each of those operators as singletons, one instance of the AddOperator will exist in any AppDomain. This is in contrast to parsing the input and creating an AddOperator into an abstract syntax tree every time the parser encounters the + symbol.
- Pool Example
- Quite often in multi-threaded applications that access data from a persistent store, the connections that the applications use to connect to the persistent store are pooled. For example, it's a common practice to pool a certain number of connections to a database because it's so darn expensive to create the connection. Then, when an application wants to get data from the database, it asks the pool for a connection instead of creating its own.
I think that your confusion may be coming from the thought that "a resource pool is a singleton." That can be true and quite often is. In general, why would you create multiple pools of resource connections when that kind of defeats the purpose of having that limited number of expensive connections?
