Hi everyone, I'm supposed to make a program that finds all the magic squares of size 6, but there are 36! possible combinations of squares to check, so my programs runs forever, perhaps with a million servers I could actually find a solution, so here is my question: Anyone knows a way of running my C# application in multiple computers at the same time?
Here is my code, perhaps anyone can improve it.

You calculate the sums of all rows, columns and diagonals to check if a given array is a magic square, right?
You don't have to do it - you can:
(1) stop the calculations right after you get two different sums (two sums at minimum are needed to determine that a given array is not a magic square),
(2) or even better, use the formula SUM = n*(n^2+1)/2 and calculate the sums only to the point when you get one that does not equal SUM (even one sum may prove that a given array is not a magic square).
This should speed up things, although I don't know if this will be enough.
Please use the code block tags when pasting code into your message. And consider pasting only the important pieces.

hey man thanks for your answer. but I do check for n*(n^2+1)/2, this is the N property of my class, and the method isMagicSquare returns false if there is a single row or column wich sum is different from N. I made a multithreaded approach in a newer to solve the problem, but it still takes too long. but thanks anyway and sorry for the long code. I thought it will be smaller

Sorry, I didn't notice that.
I cannot understand how you generate the squares to check, but, if you're not already doing it, maybe you could check every generated row and only generate a next one if the sum of the previous one equals N.
BTW, is it a school/university assignment?

Hello Guyes,
i have built a web application in VS20005 using C#. Its an eCommerce application. I want to implement UPS for shipment method to calculate the rates and all other thing related to shipment. But I don’t find any information that how I can implement UPS in my site. Is there any one who can help me. There is also no document on UPS.com from where I can extract the way of implementation, please provide some sample code which can help me to integrate UPS on my site.

I think you need to contact UPS directly. I would expect you need a UPS account to be able to calculate rates etc as rates are probably customer dependant.

I wrote code to access structre from C# .net where structure is in C dll .here are the two files .when i debug the code i got runtime exception i.e MarshalDirectiveException saying that Cannot marshal 'return value': Pointers cannot reference marshaled structures. Use ByRef instead.

char abc[5];
}Detail;
__declspec(dllexport) Detail * Disp()
{
Detail *ptr=(Detail *)malloc(sizeof(Detail));
ptr->fname = (char*)malloc(50);
memset(ptr->fname, 0x00, 50);
ptr->lname = (char*)malloc(50);
memset(ptr->lname, 0x00, 50);
memset(ptr->abc, 0x00, 5);
strcpy(ptr->fname, "larson");
strcpy(ptr->lname, "scolari");
strcpy(ptr->abc, "ABC");
return ptr;
}

Can anyone help me out to solve this problem?what i need to do to solve this problem?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.</pre>

I dont know the answer you are looking for. Maybe something like the following will work better:
void Disp(out Detail d);
I am not sure what you are trying to do either. If you had any experience in C/C++ you would know not to blindly return allocated memory. Where do you free this memory?

i am trying to write a method that checks whether an object can be cast to a specific type:
that is, something like this:
bool CheckConfigVariable(object variable, Type expectedType) {
if (variable is expectedType) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
but that doesn't seem to work. I've also tried:
object hello;
hello = (object)variable;
if (typeof(hello) == Type.GetTypeCode(typething)) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
which sort of works, but it can't find the hello variable in the typeof function. How would I go about checking whether the object is a certain type from what is provided in the parameters of the called method?

Please try with the code given below.
bool CheckConfigVariable(object variable, Type expectedType)
{
if (variable.GetType() == expectedType)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}

typeof takes the type, I thought, as in typeof(int). I think you need hello.GetType()

This isn't exactly doing what i thought it was doing sorry.
variable.GetType() == expectedType is checking whether Object is equal to Type blah.
Its always returning false. I just want it to return if it is compatible with casting it to another object, not if it is the same type.

OK, perhaps generics will help. Because what you need is access to the type to call 'is' as you were trying to do. Passing a Type doesn't sound like it worked, but if the type is specified and your generic method says something like
return (myvar is T);

where T is my parameter of type?

i get the error: The type or namespace name 'expectedType' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)

Yeah, but you write a generic method instead.
static bool CheckType<T>(object o)
{
return (o is T);
}
Then you call it like this:
DateTime dt = DateTime.Now;
bool b = CheckType<int>(dt);

wow, I didn't know how that worked. Now I'll have to go and do some more indepth reading on Generics.
Just another question on comparing types. How do enums fit into the picture? Is enum a type?
Can I compare a string to an enum (using the method above (using is keyword)), or one of the values in the enumto see if it can be converted?
|

You use Enum.Parse to convert a string to an enum. An enum is a type.
