Hi,

First of all thanks all for your help, but this apparently isn't a coding problem, but actually a problem with my Vis Studio. My Vis Studio was not building a new dll each time and therefore any change I was making was having no effect. I created a new solution, added all the existing files into the new solution, and guess what - it now works!

Apologies for wasting everyone's time.

Is there a reason you're not using linq-to-xml? It's much simpler (types from memory, so you may need to tweak it a bit)...

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("myfile.xml");
XElement root = doc.Element["Rooms"];
foreach (XElement element in root.Elements)
{
    int roomID    = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["RoomRQID"].Value);
    int quantity  = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["Quantity"].Value);
    int numAdults = Convert.ToInt32(element.Element["NumAdults"].Value);
}

No messing around with InnerText and that kind of crap.

I have a regular DataGridView and RowHeadersVisible is set to true. How do I get the location and size of the cell in the upper leftmost corner (the one to the left of the headings)?

Cant Write Large Text File

salamonty8610-Jan-10 21:49

Dear all,

I want to create a large .txt file but when i run my code i got a strange thing,
A messagebox say's: "No Symbols are loaded for any call stack frame. The source code cannot be displayed."

and a warning say's "The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1c2000 to COM context 0x1c2170 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations."

My code is:

string prev="";<br />
<br />
            string connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=E:\\ICA_Newspapers.mdb";<br />
<br />
            OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(connectionString);<br />
<br />
            string sql = "SELECT * FROM All_Analyzed_Corpus";<br />
<br />
            OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);<br />
<br />
            conn.Open();<br />
<br />
            OleDbDataReader reader;<br />
            reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();<br />

It seems that a COM object needs to respond within 60 seconds, but you create someting in this time.
Is this an operation you run in your main tread (or the thread which created a window)?

I would try to execute Application.DoEvents(); every loop iteration.

When I did Application.DoEvents(); no message appears but the file size stopped at 7805 kb and the program stopped and thats cant be because the file must end with the last record in my database table.

Are there no exceptions?

I looked over your code and couldn't find any problem, so I tried if there is maybe a problem with the filesize (I haven't really awaited that there is an error and there is no error. I was able to create an 9GB large text file without problems).

Do you use any other COM-objects in your project?

At next I would try to do this database-"export" in an own thread.

There are a number of projects on the net which provide functionality for doing that sort of thing. Here's one:

Thanks.

The effective limit is how much RAM your users are going to have.

Int32.MaxValue is about 2GB, which is probably too much to assume is present on your users' machines

Int64.MaxValue is about 10¹⁹ which is a ridiculously large number.

Why do you need such a large buffer in the first place? You might want to re-think your algorithm.
