Exactly! OP is trying to add more than one root node to a document which is of course nonsense.

As Ravi said, you need to add the event_node to the root node, not the document:

xml_document.Root.Add(event_node);

Try this:

xml_document.Declaration = new XDeclaration("1.0", "utf-8", "true");
XElement rootEle = new XElement("EventLog")
xml_document.Add(rootEle);

XElement event_node = new XElement("Event", new XAttribute("ID", Guid.NewGuid().ToString()));
XElement event_date = new XElement("DateTime", DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("ddd dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss"));
XElement event_details = new XElement("Description", event_description);
event_node.Add(event_date);
event_node.Add(event_details);
 
// Append element to root
rootEle.Add(event_node);
 
xml_document.Save("eventlog.xml");

Enumerate the installed programs, see if it's there.

Jassim Rahma wrote:

Enumerate all drives, and ask for the drive's details (like it's size) using e.g. WMI. It might not spit out that it's a GDrive, but if the app is installed and there's only one drive that does not give a detail like a cluster-size, chances are, that's the GDrive.

To find out if GDrive is running:

//required
using System.Diagnostics;

private bool IsGDriveRunning()
{
    return Process.GetProcessesByName("googledrivesync").Length > 0;
}

One way to get the filepath of the running process:

Process[] gDrive = Process.GetProcessesByName("googledrivesync");

if (gDrive.Length > 0)
{
    Console.WriteLine(gDrive[0].Modules[0].FileName);
}

But, there may be some issues using depending on whether you are compiling to a 32- or 64- bit application. See the discussion here: [^]. Right after that post is an example showing how to use WMI.

On my Win 8/64 system GDrive runs two googledrivesync.exe processes, both resolve to the same file. Your mileage may vary.

Hi,

I have csv file which contains 1 million records and with column 160. I have to insert(update the csv file) more 60 columns in the same file so the total column finally will generated 220.

60 columns and there data will get update like -
for first Row I have to select values from column 2,3,4 and generate the url and execute the url so that I will get xml data. Then I have to parse that data and fill 60 columns for that perticular row.
Like same I have to do for 2 row and 3row....upto 1 million. I have to process this file within 3 hrs.

How I can improve the performance of the reading and writing to csv file.

Here, on CP, Sebastien Lorion's very popular 2011 article, and code, "A Fast CSV Reader," immediately comes to mind: [^]. I think you'll find a good strategy for optimizing access to your file in that article.

But, given: "I have to select values from column 2,3,4 and generate the url and execute the url so that I will get xml data:" does this mean you are writing XML into your CSV file ?

... edit ... you might also examine the open-source file library, FileHelpers: [^]. I have not used this library.

1 million records isn't so much. The real advantage is you can spawn multiple threads each with a different start point all writing to a different output file then have another app combine the outputs. But if the file was only a few GB I would just load the entire thing into ram in one quick blit and get it over with.

Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting.

Sorry, but that's not how it works. You can't take an arbitrary proces and demand it's being done within a certain time-frame Smile | :)

CSV-files aren't meant to be read or manipulated "fast"; use a database if speed is important.

Divide the workload over multiple PC's - then again, we don't know if that's even possible; depends on the structure of the file.

I suspect the problem is not reading/writing the CSV but the manipulation of the records you have to do.

Try breaking the operation into blocks. Read the file, store into a database, process the records and update the database, write out the results. Then identify the slowest operation and work on that.

That is your bottle neck.

If you need to make 1 million entirely different requests that is going to be a problem. If in fact the requests are duplicates then you can cache the results the first time and then use the cached data after that.

Other than that the url request can be put into a thread, and within reason, you can be waiting on a number of those at one time before proceeding.

Hi,
have this

public class RecipsMap : ClassMap<Data.Database.Recipe>
      {
            public RecipsMap()
            {
                  this.Table("Recipe");
                  this.Id(x => x.Id).GeneratedBy.Native().Column("Id").UnsavedValue(0);
                  this.Map(x => x.Name).Not.Nullable().Length(50).Unique();
                  this.Map(x => x.Description).Nullable();
                  this.Map(x => x.Span);
                  this.HasMany<Data.Database.Temperature>(x => x.Temperatures).Table("Temperature").Inverse().Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan();
                  this.HasMany<Data.Database.LampControl>(x => x.LampControls).Table("LampControl").Inverse().Cascade.AllDeleteOrphan();
            }
      }

with one-to-many relationship.
And in my Repository class i define 2 methods for clear table. Full clear and remove one record by name.

/** Удалить все */
            public void Delete()
            {
                  var metadata = this._sessionFactory.GetClassMetadata(typeof(T)) as NHibernate.Persister.Entity.AbstractEntityPersister;
                  string table = metadata.TableName;

                  using (var session = this._sessionFactory.OpenSession())
                  {
                        using (var transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
                        {
                              string deleteAll = string.Format("DELETE FROM \"{0}\"", table);
                              session.CreateQuery(deleteAll).ExecuteUpdate();
                              transaction.Commit();
                        }
                  }

                  /** сообщим коллбэку что данные изменены */
                  this.OnOnDataChange(this.Get());
            }


            /** Удалить по имени */
            public void Delete(string name)
            {
                  using (var session = this._sessionFactory.OpenSession())
                  {
                        using (var transaction = session.BeginTransaction())
                        {
                              T recipe = session.QueryOver<T>().Where(Restrictions.Eq("Name", name)).SingleOrDefault();
                              session.Delete(recipe);
                              transaction.Commit();
                        }
                  }

                  /** сообщим коллбэку что данные изменены */
                  this.OnOnDataChange(this.Get());
            }

But,trouble is that data are not deleting cascadely in first case "delete all", but everything is deleting while deleting separate object in second case. If selecting by name as here - all right, if delete all - only recipe table is removing and all other (Temperatures and LampControl tables in relationship) stay at there places. Who dealed with this plz give me advice - how to remove all data from table?
Thanks.

I have not dealt with Hibernate; but then again, if it doesn't support cascading delete's, you can always delete them yourself. Either by executing an extra delete-statement, or by defining a trigger on the database-tables.

Thanks for Your attention.
A little bit I understand the proccess but don't know how to solve the problem. I have table with field Id(external key), other two tables references to tjis table. While delete NHibernate kills one child and meets external key which is also must be deleted but can't be deleted because it is one another child. So the question is: how to do it by NHibernate without isage of separate removing? And why this problem does not raising while removing separate strings in parent table, only with cascade removing? The same is going with SQLite database

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Did you even read the exception message? Is telling you exactly what the problem is. This should give you a large clue as to what you should be looking at in your code.

While mathematically, and abstractly, you could model some fraction of a pixel, when it comes to "reality," a pixel is a fundamental atomic unit of a hardware display, or print/render, device which may be dependent (as in screen resolution/bit-depth) on software settings.

So, I am wondering what your goal is here. Are you wanting to model in floating point before you, ultimately, generate ints to affect some display or printed output ?

Please clarify.
