Try System.Timers.Timer[^] which is more accurate than its forms counterpart.

Thanks for your answer.
I've tried to use System.Timers.Timer and the results a bit better. But, there's one thing I've noticed. Sometimes, the number of items I've added to listbox is greater than number I've entered to text box. For example, when I enter 11 to text box, the number of items in list box is 12. The order is as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1. I don't understand why 1 again?

The bad news is that you can't resolve this issue. If you think about it for a little bit, you'll see why. Here's a hint - you need to execute a task several number of times a second and those tasks take a finite amount of time; creating the threads (or switching to them in a threadpool) also takes a period of time - even if you are running on a multi-core machine, there are only a set number of tasks that can be spawned and run in that period of time.
By the way, you have a marshalling issue in your code (you may be suppressing it, but it still takes time). Basically, you are interacting with a UI component from a none-UI thread. WinForms is STA, so you should be marshalling the calls back to the UI thread.

Thanks for the answer.
Yes. I supposed this couldn't be resolved to be absolutely accurate. But what to do? I need to write the application that should load test WCF RIA service and the results should be confidential.

If you are load testing an application, you need to take a different approach. You should be attempting to target it from multiple machines.

Some comments:
1. this article may enlighten you on some timer characteristics: Timer surprises, and how to avoid them[^]
2. this one could help you in solving cross-thread problems: http://www.perceler.com/articles1.php?art=crossthreads1[^]
3. ThreadPools have their own algorithm for launching and creating threads; e.g. launching ten jobs at pretty much the same time would not necessarily cause ten threads to be used, and that is why it's method is called QueueUserWorkItem, rather than ExecuteNow. Last time I checked, the ThreadPool, when sufficient work has been queued, would launch new threads at a pace of 2 per second.
4. Load testing a component may not be handled best with equidistant requests; I would consider using a fixed number of real threads (not pooled ones), and give each the job to wait a random time, then issue a request, in a loop-forever style. That way you can simulate an average load of your choice with arbitrary phase between the requests. Furthermore I agree with Pete, when he says having more machines to realistically simulate load would be better.

Hi,
I'm trying do write a backup program in VB .NET. It needs to avoid backing up files that have already been backed up and so it compares the last write times of the source and backup files. If they are the same, the backup for the file is not performed.
If both the source file the backup file are on the local hard drive, the comparisons work correctly.
If both the source file the backup file are on a Network Attached Storage drive, the comparisons work correctly.
But if the source file is on the local hard drive and the backup file is on the Network Attached Storage drive, the comparison always says the they are different no matter what.
Code: (I'm using the CompareTo method.)
Dim SourceHasLaterDate As Int16 = SourceWriteTime.CompareTo(BackupWriteTime)
Is there any way I can get an accurate result for the third condition?
Thanks,
Mike
PS: I'm modifying the backup program written by Taner Riffit.

there are a couple of reasons why two DateTimes that should be equal actually can be different, here are the most important ones:
- some file systems only have a resolution of 2 seconds (long ago the date was stored in 16-bit, and the time in another 16-bit number (5-bit for the hour, 6-bit for the minutes, and 5 rather than 6 for the seconds).
- some file systems have a different way of dealing with daylight savings time (should the correction be applied dynamically, or should the corrected time be stored in the directory information?).
When I created my backup/synchronize utility years ago, I ended up comparing DateTimes with a tolerance: any pair of DateTime values that differed by -1, 0 or 1 hour give or take -2 to +2 seconds, I consider identical. And yes, that could lead to false identicals, but since I also compare file size and file name, chances are slim.

When I compensate for the differences in the storage devices by converting the last write date/time results to concatenated strings containing Year, Month, Day, Hour, and Second, the comparison works properly. With this approach I'm assuming that going to the second is accurate enough. You may want to use the same approach with yours.
Thanks for the explanation.
Here is my code:
Dim SourceWriteTime As DateTime = CDate(File.GetLastWriteTimeUtc(SourceFileName))
With SourceWriteTime
Test1 = .Year & "/" & .Month & "/" & .Day & "/" & .Hour & "/" & .Minute & "/" & .Second
End With
Dim BackupWriteTime As DateTime = CDate(File.GetLastWriteTimeUtc(BackupFileName))
With BackupWriteTime
Test2 = .Year & "/" & .Month & "/" & .Day & "/" & .Hour & "/" & .Minute & "/" & .Second
End With
Dim SourceHasLaterDate As Int16 = Test1.CompareTo(Test2)
If the SourceHasLaterDate > zero, I backup the file.

Where can I find an exaustive guide or a well done tutorial, with/or commented examples about DATAREPEATER Control, distibuted together with Visual Basic Power Pack?
Thanks.

Have you tried Googling for "DataRepeater tutorial"?

On MSDN, off course. You can find an Introduction to the DataRepeater Control here[^]. There's a walk-through here[^], and your new homepage can be found here[^].
You're welcome. However, I didn't provide the material; the credits should go to MSDN

Hi,
I am trying to enumerate system devices using .Net and keep receiving a null on the following code. How do I fix the problem? I saw several examples on the web, all showing similar code constructs.
try
{
clsidSystemDeviceEnum = new Guid("62BE5D10-60EB-11d0-BD3B-00A0C911CE86");
Type comType = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID(clsidSystemDeviceEnum);
object oEnum;
oEnum = null;
oEnum = Activator.CreateInstance(comType);
pSysDevEnum = oEnum as ICreateDevEnum;
if (null != pSysDevEnum)
pSysDevEnum.CreateClassEnumerator(clsidDeviceClass, out ppEnumMoniker, dwFlags);
else
return;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, Application.ProductName, MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
