I have written a Windows Service which creates multiple threads. Each thread listens on a seperate port, writes received messages to disk and acknowledges the receipt of each message. It works perfectly with a single thread so I started load testing multiple threads with disapointing results. I've noticed erratic behavior and am pretty sure its due to the multi-threading. This is my first true multithreaded app and wanted to get some pointers. My Windows Service basically just creates (with ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem) and stops the threads as necessary. The rest of the code (Listening and responding, storing port numbers and directory paths, writing messages to disk) is contained in a DLL shared by each thread.
So first question is:
1. Is what I'm attempting to accomplish possible, or is it going to be a locking nightmare ?
The reason I ask is that it appears I need to lock the listening loop since it is contained in a DLL used by each thread. But won't this effectively stop the rest of the the threads from listening to their ports since it is blocking?
Do I need to ditch the idea of listening on multiple ports within threads and just have multiple instances of the same app on a server ?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
I try to write these characters to an XML file. but in the XML file it shows:
> < & instead. how can i write correctly to the XML file or at least read correctly(assign the innertext to a variable)?
here is my code for writing to XML file:
XmlElement title= xmldoc.CreateElement("Title");
title.InnerText = txtName.Text;
newBook.AppendChild(title);

haha but in the XML file it shows:
& gt; & lt; & amp; instead. So confusing!!!

there are some characters that has special meaning in html/xml files, for example <, >, & and so on. So, if you need to display such character in xml/html file you should use one of the special form of symbol writing, for example '&' followed by character short form and followed by ';'. '&' gt ';' for 'greater' sign.
When you are reading html/xml file you have to decode such symbols.
In your case, if you have only this three symbols in your file - you can make simple replace, either through string.replace(), either through regex.replace(). But if you can get more symbols (probably, all special chars) - then use standart functions - parse xml file into set of xml element object (or any other way) and read it's InnerText property.
Notice, that if you'll write special chars into InnerText, and read it from it - It'll be ok.
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();<br />
doc.LoadXml("<root>" +<br />
"<elem>some text<child/>more text</elem>" +<br />
"</root>");<br />
<br />
XmlElement elem = (XmlElement)doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild;<br />
elem.InnerText = "testing < > &";<br />
MessageBox.Show(elem.InnerText);
MessageBox shows "testing < > &"

I'm stuck on this one, really bad.
Exact Error Message:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in CheckPageUpdates.exe
Additional information: Request failed.
If I run my application from my local box it works perfectly. If I run the app off of the Network it fails giving the above error message.
Now I know what this issue normally is, it's about not having your Machine->LocalIntranet_Zone setup to allow your program to run with enough rights. So I created a key using sn and added it to the assembly, built my program, then i loaded the key into my Machine->All_Code by adding another group and give it full permissions. This seemed to solve nothing. My program has about 10 lines and it communicates with a webservice which I also wrote.
CODE:
static void Main() <br />
{ <br />
new CheckPageUpdates();<br />
}<br />
<br />
public CheckPageUpdates()<br />
{<br />
try<br />
{<br />
PageModified.PageModifiedService pms = new PageModified.PageModifiedService();<br />
<br />
string strAddress = pms.CheckPageUpdated(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username"));<br />
<br />
if(strAddress != string.Empty)<br />
{<br />
Process iexplore = new Process();<br />
<br />
iexplore.StartInfo.FileName = "iexplore.exe";<br />
iexplore.StartInfo.Arguments = strAddress;<br />
<br />
iexplore.Start();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
catch(Exception ex)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString()); <br />
}<br />
}
What this does is it hands off the username of the currently logged in user to the webservice which then checks to see if this user has seen a webpage recently enough or if they need to see it again. It then returns a web address, or string.Empty, depending on whether or not they should load a page.
When the code fails and I load the debugger it shows me that it failed at the bolded underlined point.
Thanks a bunch for at least reading this

In my experiencing, certain operations (especially those relating to files / directories) are not allowed or require extra security permissions to use in .NET.
At an educated guess:
string strAddress = pms.CheckPageUpdated(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("username"));
is probably causing it.
To suppress it you will need to have your application request additional permissions. This is done through the System.Security namespace, but I am unsure to the specifics of it.
Hopefully I have given you enough information to googlise

I tried adding the following to lines in my code file, but I had not change.
<br />
[assembly:EnvironmentPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, Read="USERNAME")]<br />
[assembly:FileIOPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum, All="C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe")]
I feel like i'm on the right track, but i'm not sure.

If i use demand on either of them then it won't build anymore.
I get the following build error:
Assembly generation failed -- SecurityAction type invalid on assembly.
So I guess I can't demand it...

Sometimes it does not let you at all.
Once I wanted to loop through a certain portion of the HD (forgotten why) but no matter how many sec permissions i got, it wouldnt let me do it.
Either because of a performance lag on computer or some sensitive files...
If your project sounds like it could provoke .NET in any of these areas, try changing it.
This is probably not the case, but worth a shot

hello,
I am creating a windows form app using VS.Net and I am having a fundamental problem with window sizing. I would like to specify the exact size of each form programmatically. Despite my efforts, the forms seem to be resizing themselves sometime between when the constructor is run and the window is actually displayed. Does anybody know why or where in the code this is happening? Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!

It may be that you are putting your programmatical assignment of the size before the InitialiseComponent() method in the form's constructor is being called, as a result the assignment to the form's size in InitialiseComponent() is overriding your assignment.

Does anyone know what's the equivalent of SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) event of Win form ComboBox control in UltraCombo in Infragistics control. I want to raise a event only when UltraCombo value changes.

hi guys..
i've never faced with a problem like this, just want to ask u guys..
i declared a datetime component ..
<br />
DateTime x = new DateTime(1900,01,01,7,0,0,0);<br />
everything is fine.. let`s write it to a textbox name tBox;
<br />
tBox.Text = x.toLongTimeString();<br />
everything is ok.. i get 7:00:00
but after i add some minute to this instance..
<br />
x.AddMinute(15);<br />
tBox.Text = x.toLongTimeString();<br />
why the heck i get the 7:00:00 instead of getting 7:15:00 ?!?!?!
any thoughts ?
thanx
good coding

You have to assign the return value of AddMinute to your variable x. x itself isn't changed.
x = x.AddMinute(15);
tBox.Text = x.toLongTimeString();

You need to add the record to the collection the datagridview is bound to.

Hi,
Thanks For Your Reply.
My code is here:
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(str);
da= new OleDbDataAdapter("select * from dept", con);
da.Fill(ds, "dept");
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["dept"];
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
dataGridView1.AllowUserToAddRows = true;
DataGridViewRow hetrow = new DataGridViewRow();
DataGridViewComboBoxCell ccell = new DataGridViewComboBoxCell();
ccell.Items.Add(10);
ccell.Items.Add(20);
ccell.Items.Add(30);
ccell.Items.Add(40);
hetrow.Cells.Add(ccell);
for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
hetrow.Cells.Add(new DataGridViewTextBoxCell());
}
ds.
dataGridView1.Rows.Add(hetrow);
Now How to add,
Please help me.
Thanks in advance

The problem is your binding object is a DataTable and you are trying to add a record to the datagridview not the DataTable. Do something like below:
DataTable dt = dataGridView.DataSource;
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow;
dt.Rows.Add(dr);

Hi All,
What are the main differences between these two Interfaces and when we should prefer which one???
and shud we implement these in the same class in which we r comparing or shud we make a new calss for that......also i m having problem implementing IComparer interface when i implement this the compiler gives this error
The type or namespace name 'IComparer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
so plz tell me also wots the solution of this
Looking forward for help
Regards,

IComparer is defined in System.Collections. Thus you need to add using System.Collections; at the top of your code.
IComparable must always be implemented by the the class which should be sorted. IComparer should be implemented in separated classes. You should go with IComparer if you want to sort your objects by different criterias (e.g. by its name, some associated values...). Because IComparer can be separated from the class to be sorted you can have as much implementations as you like.
