So that tells me you are running your code on the UI thread, and if it hangs, it means
something else in your app does not survive the UI thread to be non-reponsive that long.
IMHO adding SuspendLayout/ResumeLayout (which is basically a performance optimalization)
will speed things up, but does not fundamentally solve your problem. I suspect
your app will still fail once a (much) larger number of mp3 files is present.
You could test this by inserting a Thread.Sleep(several seconds) where you now call DirSearch.

Had no problem with the program hanging and there was no error report. Its just that all the files on the drive were not in the array. Removing the listBox1.Items.Add from the directoy search seems to have solved the problem. I just tried it on a drive with 34500 mp3 files and it worked fine.

You can try this:
List<string> my = new List<string>();
for (int i=0;i<200000;i++)
my.Add("a");
Console.WriteLine("There are {0} elements to my list",my.Count.ToString());
Console.ReadKey();
The result is: 200000
I hope that help you

We have now built arrays of over 80,000 lines with over 250 chars per line with no problem and written this to a list box. There seems to be no array size limitation or limitation of the list box. We have tracked our problem down to a problem in the "recursive directory search" see recent post.

I want to assign the results of an SQL ExecuteScalar to an int. Which is fine when the ExecuteScalar returns a value (i.e the paramater sent to the stored procedure caused the SELECT function to find a valid record).
BUT if the paramater does not pass the SELECT procedure a value that is already in the table the assignment to an int causes an exception (as no record was returned).
Can i do this without using a try/catch block?
Thanks.

You could return it as an object and then cast it if the object was not null.

As far as i know you can't do it without using try catch or an if statement which in this case is the same.
Convertion in .Net assumes that the converted value is not null. So any testing should be done prior
assuming your id in base are not zero-valued i have implemented a function that executed the command and return zero if not found or the desired value.
I have implemented something similar for strings also.

No it isn't. A try/catch adds a heck of a processing overhead if an exception is raised. Since this is not an exceptional case getting the value as an object then testing for null would be the better option.

Returning magic numbers is not the solution. Testing for null or DBNull.Value is.
It should also be realised that null is not the same as DBNull.Value.
null is returned if the SELECT statement returned nothing at all. DBNull.Value is returned if the SELECT statement found the row and column, but the column was null.

please how can i get from that string "80-247-0092-1 Grada Publishing" to one string first code (ISBN) and to second string everythig gehind this isbn code? ... please help me  ... again

If the ISBN is always followed by a space character, you can use: String.Split(new Char[] {' '}, 2)

Hi
I was hoping for someone to come out with an idea for a situation i came across..pls bear with me, its a bit long, and i shall explain with code.
this is a sample of my class:
public class Customer<br />
{<br />
private Dictionary<long, Membership> membershipDict;
private Dictionary<long, Address> addressDict;
<br />
public Membership GetMembershipByKey(long key)<br />
{<br />
if (membershipDict.Contains(key))<br />
return membershipDict[key];<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void InsertMembership(Membership membership)<br />
{<br />
if (!membershipDict.Contains(key))<br />
membershipDict.Add(membership.MemberhsipId, membership)<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
My problem is, I would have lots of methods to just retrieve and insert my Dictionaries of memberships and addresses. And there are more of these dictionaries in my Customer Class. I was thinking of replacing these with Generic Method, for example:
public T GetObjectByKey<T>(long key)<br />
{<br />
}
But internally I would need some mechanism to tell me which T is being called. I was thinking of using a Dictionary to keep this info, but its strongly typed, and I cannot use a dictionary to keep a keypair value of Type, and Dictionary<T,K>.
I was thinking of letting my Membership and Address classes inherit from an interface, let's say IModel.
So i would have dictionaries:
private Dictionary<long, IModel> membershipDict;
private Dictionary<long, IModel> addressDict;
so that i can keep a:
Dictionary<System.Type, Dictionary<long, IModel>> typeDict;
but I dont really like this approach. Sorry for the very long explanation, but i hope it explains my dilema. I am looking forward to some great suggestions. Im fairly new with C# and generics. Im just looking for a way to shorten my code. Would hate to have same methods repeating everywhere...
Cheers

First of all have you thought of subclassing the Dictionary<string,YourObject>?
For what you are asking two are the simplest ways i see based on what i have understood.
You can use a general function with parameter object or a common base object like BaseMemeberShip for all possible MemberShip objects to be added. Then by using the is Address for example determine to which dictionary you will add it. You can also use GetType()
A second way which probably is the same from the functional scope, is to implement an interface which somehow signals what kind of Membership Object it is you are adding.

Hi
thanks for the reply. But I dont get what you are saying, either i mis-interpret or u misunderstood my meaning.
I guess what im getting at is for this function
public T GetObjectByKey<T>(long key)<br />
{<br />
Type t = typeof(T);<br />
}
I hope that makes sense....

DON'T SHOUT !!!
In ASP.NET 2.0, there's a control for this. In 1.1, I believe you had to use the old HTML file input tag.
This belongs in the ASp.NET forum, really.

Hi,
Using .Net 2.0
I have created webservices inside a project. These services are in a solution on my machine which I am developing.
To reference these services, I use Add Web Reference, webservices in this solution (Because the services are saved in my local machine).
At what stage should I place these webservices in the virtual directory of a webserver?
Should these webservices be developed in a virtual directory on my local machine as opposed to in the local C drive as it is now?
The intension is that others be able to see these webservices as they are being developed.
For an example, from my machine to reference one of the webservices, this is the path I use:
http://localhost:2144/inTest.asmx
does this mean that other developers to reference this webservice should use:
http://MyMachineName:2144/inTest.asmx
??
Thanks

A webservice will always be on your hard drive, it will simply be in a directory that is mapped to a folder in IIS. VS.NET is mapping it for you, it has a web server built in. You should probably leave it where it is, so you can debug it and work on it. Deploy it when you move it to a machine it will run on.

They should probably reference it locally on their machines. If you want it somewhere that people can run it, but not work on it, then you may want to set up a machine to host it.

Is there any code for automatic generation of a password.
thnaks
|
|
|
|

I haven't seen one but it can't be that hard to create a function that takes a random number and returns a char based on the ascii values you allow.
I think System.Convert.ToChar(int) is probably the function you need from the top of my head.

Use it with Math.Random, but you'll end up having a senseless password!!

i was thinking that that was the critical function rather than using that as the whole algorithm.
Then create a wrapper that creates a random number between 0 and 61 and returns an lcase, a ucase or a number with equal probability

It is like an automatic generation for an activation code.
Maybe my description as a password was some how wronge
|
|
|
|

use math.random to create a nuber between 0 and 61
use a switch statement for 0 to 25, 26 to 51, 52 to 61
convert the numbers to letters or numbers using system.convert.tochar(int) and these values ^
loop to create a pwd of required length
HTH

Create a char array with all the 'allowed characters'
Call up a random number between 0 and the length of that array for the amount of characters the password should contain.
