Hi,
1. Threading
I don't see anything about threading at all. Hence I don't think there would be a threading problem.
2. static
Your explanation isn't clear at all; there are two simple schemes regarding static:
A. don't make anything static (possible exception: a method that does not need any class member data could be made static to enforce that)
B. make everything static (that is impossible if you need two or more of something)
If you try to have a half-static approach, every method declared static can only access class members that are static themselves. That is all that is to it.

Again i understand ure explanation clearly...
There isn't suppose to be any new thread spawned and doing something static doesn't matter either.
But the thing odd is that if i do the same thing(i.e. sending messages to msq in the serial port data received event, this doesn't result in the continuous spawning of new threads.
Nothing seems to add up y new threads are created if i just take the same code and place it in a class library rather than in the serialport data received event.
i have commented the code in the serial port data received event. which i executed instead of the event reporter event and everything went f9. May be there is some problem with this serial port data received thread accessing methods outside its thread.perhaps.
again any further solutions invited.

Hi,
Is there any chance that you are blocking the serial port data received thread? If this were to happen I assume that subsequent events would have to use a different thread.
Alan.

That will surely do that... but in the debug mode i can see my control returning to the data received event, if that can be checked this way.
+ enlighten me like async functions which uses the threadpool limited to 25 threads, saturating on 25 threads if used. If according to u it uses the thread pool and if there is a a cap on it it must also saturate. but i have seen the threads go up to 500 and keeps on increasing.
+ i think so i should use an async function to do the rest of the work (sending to msgq). if it ties up the thread that would be freed perhaps and it may not require another thread for next data received event. perhaps.
Again what do u say...
Really thanks on answering all of my questions
grateful..

Found the solution....
I tried everything even async method calls. nothing got me to the solution. finally i just mistakenly changed the serialport.ReadTo("\r") to ReadExisting() and it solved the thread problem.
Dont know till now y That ReadTo problem acted like that .
:P

I have the following method that attempts to create a thumbnail image if it is missing. I get an out of memory exeception on the marked line
public static void CreateThumbs(DataTable oTable, string sImageFolder)
{
try
{
string sThumbFolder = System.IO.Path.Combine(sImageFolder, "Thumbs");
string sUploadFolder = System.IO.Path.Combine(sImageFolder, "Uploads");
string sThumb, sImage;
System.IO.FileInfo oImageFile;
System.IO.FileInfo oThumbFile;
if (oTable.Columns.Contains("Thumb"))
{
foreach (DataRow oRow in oTable.Rows)
{
sThumb = System.IO.Path.Combine(sThumbFolder, oRow["FileName"].ToString());
sImage = System.IO.Path.Combine(sUploadFolder, oRow["FileName"].ToString());
oThumbFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(sThumb);
oImageFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(sImage);
if (!oThumbFile.Exists && oImageFile.Exists)
{
>>>>> error on this line >>>> using (System.Drawing.Image oImage = System.Drawing.Image.FromFile(sImage))
{
using (System.Drawing.Image oThumbnailImage = oImage.GetThumbnailImage(64, 64, new System.Drawing.Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(ThumbnailCallback), IntPtr.Zero))
{
oThumbnailImage.Save(sThumb, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception)
{ throw; }
}
I can't actually be out of memory I.m on a win7 64 with 8g memory and a fresh reboot!

Hi Mycroft,
I suggest you add some code to see exactly what image file is causing the problem. I'm pretty sure it will always be the same, no matter how many images you have. A real out-of-memory situation would typically fluctuate a bit.
The problem you are likely to have is either a corrupted file, or an image format not supported by .NET;
the documentation on Image.FromFile() hides this little gem:
OutOfMemoryException:
The file does not have a valid image format.
-or-
GDI+ does not support the pixel format of the file.
|
|
|
|
|
That's a real gem. I guess I received some OutOfMemoryExceptions in other contexts where such an exception was simply not possible. Maybe the programmer wants to tell as something different, like "the appropriate name for that exception is no more in my memory". Let's call it an AlzheimerException then.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a general problem with GDI+ and exceptions; most often you get a "General GDI+ exception" and are at a loss (try debugging a failing Image.Save operation).
In this particular situation, he got what is masqueraded as an OOM but actually is something quite different.

Seems reasonable, the image files probably originated on a mac anyway so they could be anything. Turns out there are a huge number of records with no image file so the first one will be to delete records with missing files and delete files not in the database  then test each one for corruption, then turn the rest into thumbs. I hate graphics.

I don't know about deleting records, you might as well amend your code to skip null filenames. Afterward, a simple try-catch could be all it takes to identify a sporadic bad image file; unless you are filling the database with "images" that aren't "Images" as supported by .NET
Mycroft Holmes wrote: the image files probably originated on a mac
If and when multiple files cause problems, you'll have to find a way around that. Any idea what the original format, or file extension used to be (assuming they had one, Mac has different concepts).
If .NET can't read any of your images, your database will not be worth much, will it?
FYI: I hope you did carefully read the remarks[^], image file may indeed contain thumbnail information of insufficient quality for your purpose.

I don't, it is an interesting, evolving and challenging domain. There are several standards, and some special cases. As always.

Nope wandered right past the most useful information there.  . I'm pretty sure the images originated on a mac, although most of them have displayed correctly. I'm quite happy to delete the missing/corrupted records and force the user to reload.
Thanks for that snippet btw, I have been struggling with thumbs and was not aware of the embedded thumb.

Hello,
I'm having troubles with Control.PointToScreen Method. I need to move mouse over controls center and then click on it. I am doing something like this:
<br />
Point aP = theControl.PointToScreen(new Point(theControl.Width / 2, theControl.Height / 2));<br />
MouseClick(aP);
I have two monitors. When I select as primary monitor first one, it works fine. Mouse is moved correctly over center of control and clicked. When I select as primary monitor second one, mouse is not moved to the center of control, but elsewhere in the form. I need to have the same behavior on the both screens. Does anybody know what is the problem here?
Thanks in advance,

Just a thought, but are the resolutions the same on both monitors?
V.

|
|
|

No, resolutions are not the same. I tried to switch the resolution of bigger monitor to the same as the smaller one and it works fine. I do not understand it. Is it system bug, or should I set some property before calling PointToScreen?
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not 100% sure, but what I think happened is that your pointtoscreen calculates the position based on the resolution. If both your monitors have the same size physically and one is 800x600 and the other 1024x768 the distance of 10 pixels eg, is different. As your Point2Screen bases its calculation on the other screen, it will calculate a different distance as it should.
Hope I make some sort of sense  .

While coding for a MS Exchange email client I came up with a peculiar problem. I am using Exchange Web Service Managed API to access the exchange mail server and getting the mail messages. The problems occur when I try to store the message object into the disk. While serializing the object it is throwing a SerializationException saying that - "Type 'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.EmailMessage' in Assembly 'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' is not marked as serializable.".
One thing is not clear to me, if the object is not serializable then how come it is being transferred through the web service?
Secondly, do any one have any idea on how to store this non serializable object into disk.
I am in a dire need.
Thanks and regards,
Anindya Chatterjee

Probably, the EmailMessage isn't the thing being passed across the wire.

Two options (but I don't know the details of EMailMessage, so take with a pinch of salt:
a) Make a serializeable object and write a converter to convert bewteen this andEmailMessage
b) Hand-serialize the object from its properties etc.
That said, the object you have probably contains alot of information needed at runtime and have security implications (which are probably two of the reasons why the object is not marked as serializable). Given there are lots of readonly properties, you won't be able to deserialize EMailMessage, but if you are just interested in storing and retrieving the contents you should be fine.

Does that EmailMessage not have a ToString() and a FromString() method? Since emails are transported as plain ASCII, that should do the thing.
Otherwise, create a serializable object containing all the relevant properties, i.e. message body, to, cc, subject, etc. and serialize that.

Something like this?
using System.Globalization
CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("es-ES");
NumberFormatInfo myFormat = ci.NumberFormat;
myFormat.NumberGroupSeparator = ",";
myFormat.NumberDecimalDigits = 2;
string MyFormattedString = MyDoubleValue.ToString("N", myFormat);The endusers' culture should determine how the number is formatted. That's usually configured in the Windows regional settings.

Hello,
I am creating a directory programatically (C#) to store some application specific data. I want that this directory should't be deleted or modified while the application is running but once the application is closed, it can be modified or deleted. Also, all user on the machine should have similar rights for that folder.
How do I achieve this? Any help in this direction will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
|
|

|

I think this can be achieved with the FileSystemAccessRule class (the creation of the rule(s) that is). Then you create a DirectorySecurity ojbect and use the AddAccessRule method to apply your access rule(s). Finally, create a DirectoryInfo object representing the folder and run the SetAccessControl method which takes your DirectorySecurity object as an argument.
That's pretty much how I've done it in the past. Good luck!
|

Thanks for reply.
I am using security like this:
AccessRule rule = new FileSystemAccessRule("Users",
FileSystemRights.Write |
FileSystemRights.ReadAndExecute ,
InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit |
InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit,
PropagationFlags.InheritOnly,
AccessControlType.Deny);
Still I am able to delete the folder manually.
Thanks.
