I am supposed to create a C# solution to compare the data (table, column and row) from two different databases and update the 2nd one as follows:
1. with just the rows that are updated recently (incase of duplicates)
2. check for new/updated column in 1st one and update/delete in 2nd accordingly or drop the table entirely and copy it from 1st one.
3. check for new/updated table in 1st one and update/delete in 2nd accordingly or drop the table entirely and copy it from 1st one.
So basically I have to synchronize the data between the two databases.
As of now, I have just got to connecting the database part. I am not sure how to proceed (should I be dumping the data from the database and checking or is there a simpler way?).!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Anyone knows how to handle timeout operation in task class in C#. I meant after a particular time of task progress , the current task should be disposed and another task with the same arguments should be started.
|

There's an excellent discussion about adding the ability to TimeoutAfter in this[^] article.

You could possibly use Timers, or if you meant the Exception then you should use try catch block. Share some more information about context please.

Is there a good looking way of receiving an object reference instead of a new object with the linq extension methods? Id like the two code lines below to update the object within the salesLst.
ProdTotalSales ps = salesLst.First(p => p.Month == o.OrderDatum.Month);
ps.Antal += r.BestSaldo;

It does! 
public class ProdTotalSales
{
public string Text { get; set; }
public int Value { get; set; }
public ProdTotalSales(string s, int i)
{
Text = s;
Value = i;
}
public override string ToString()
{
return string.Format("{0}:{1}", Value, Text);
}
}
ProdTotalSales p1 = new ProdTotalSales("P1", 1);
ProdTotalSales p2 = new ProdTotalSales("P2", 2);
List<ProdTotalSales> list = new List<ProdTotalSales>() { p1, p2 };
Console.WriteLine("Before:");
foreach (ProdTotalSales p in list) Console.WriteLine(p);
ProdTotalSales pn = list.First(p => p.Value == 2);
pn.Text = "P2 Modified";
Console.WriteLine("After:");
foreach (ProdTotalSales p in list) Console.WriteLine(p);
Before:
1:P1
2:P2
After:
1:P1
2:P2 Modified

Well, I made the classic mistake of attaching too little code to my question, sorry about that. The thing is that my ProdTotalSales was declared as a struct. That meant that when I was debugging, the debugger showed ps.Antal=1 but salesLst[0].Antal=0 after executing the two rows of code above. I still dont understand how that could be. Now when I changed the ProdTotalSales into being a class, it works just fine. I would really appreciate an explanation to this. Could it have something to do with me calling the default-constructor?
The ProdTotalSales looked like this:
public struct ProdTotalSales
{
public int Year { get; set; }
public int Month { get; set; }
public int Antal { get; set; }
public ProdTotalSales(int _year, int _month, int _antal) : this()
{
Year = _year;
Month = _month;
Antal = _antal;
}
}

Ah! As you say, too little code!
The thing is that a struct is always a Value type, and a class a Reference type - which means that when you assign a struct instance to another variable you always get a copy, not a reference to the existing one - and it doesn't matter if you do it directly:
ProdTotalSales pn = list[0]
Or via a Linq method:
ProdTotalSales pn = list.First(p => p.Value == 2);
You always get a copy of the data, not a reference to the original item.
I wrote an article on the difference last year: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^] which may help.

Yes, should have thought of that. I know the struct is a value typ, though didnt think of the implications of it. Thanks for the explanation, and Ill take a peek at your article.

after looking at this MSDN: Struct[^]
is shows that struct is a value type hence how it behaves different to a class in this situation.
way around your issue I am not sure at the moment.

Hi!
I have made a c# program that writes a binary file of approximately 16 MB, then proceeds to process the file by reading and writing individual bytes after specific rules.
Generating the inital file runs without any issues, but when the actual processing starts, so do my problems:
Test application:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FileStream Stream = new FileStream("test.file", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite, FileShare.None);
int i;
int NumReads, NumWrites;
NumReads = 0;
NumWrites = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 1024 * 1024; i++)
{
Stream.WriteByte(0);
NumWrites++;
}
while (true)
{
for (i = 0; i < Stream.Length; i++)
{
Stream.Position = i;
int x=Stream.ReadByte();
NumReads++;
if (i % 16 == 0)
{
Stream.Position = i + 8;
int y = Stream.ReadByte();
NumReads++;
Stream.Position = i + 10;
Stream.WriteByte(1);
NumWrites++;
}
}
Console.WriteLine("Loop done. Reads="+NumReads.ToString()+", Writes="+NumWrites.ToString());
ConsoleKeyInfo result = Console.ReadKey();
if (result.Key==ConsoleKey.Escape) break;
}
Stream.Close();
}
}
}The process is painfully slow, and the program appears to be reading huge amounts of data during the process, according to Task Manager, during program execution, it looks like the program is reading 300 MB/second, or more, which is about what my HDD can do. The number of writes performed are looking normal.
I have tried implementing counters for read and write operations, and these seem to match what I am trying to do.
I have tried lots of different buffer sizes when initializing the FileStream, but the results are the same.
I dont know whether it is Task Manager being off, or c# actually messing up I/O so badly.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on ?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Most of your code seems to be missing from that post. Use the "Edit" link to update the post with the missing code.
Also, you should wrap your code in <pre lang="cs"> ... </pre> tags, or use a fenced code block:
<pre lang="cs">
Your code goes here...
</pre>
-or-
```cs
Your code goes here...
```

Sorry about that, and thanks for showing me how to do it properly, my post has been updated.

I think you forgot some code there. You may also want to use a code block for the code.

Sorry about the mess in the first post. I am new to the forum, and didnt know how to do it properly.

Reading and writing single bytes is hugely inefficient, especially when doing it randomly. Disk files are processed in fixed block sizes determined by the underlying filesystem. When you wish to write a random byte to a file the system must first read the block that contains that byte, replace the byte, write the block back to disk. So replacing a few bytes in a single disk block would incur quite a large overhead in the background.

Hi, Richard,
I agree, and since yesterday I have worked on implementing buffering, which is now operational.
But it seems that something far stranger is going on, as I tried a buffer that can hold the entire file in memory, and only write it at the very end. Still my number of reads explode when the program is running, and I have found out that the major part of the reads that Task manager is counting are done where my program does what calculations, and other stuff, none of which involve I/O at all....
Some of my method calls seem to generate I/O just by performing simple calculations, or filling an array with numbers, and such.
Still investigating what is going on.

Use a virtual disk drive! (Just kidding).
The file you are reading and writing is actually 1MB; not 16MB.
"Reads" and "writes" are usually buffered; in your case however, due to "positioning", you seem to be losing the benefits of buffering in your reads.
While "logically", you are only reading about 1MB, in actuality, you are reading about 4GB with each iteration.
Sector sizes / allocation units are running around 4KB these days; this is what you are transferring between disk and memory for each one of your reads; and why you are seeing those high transfer rates (300MB/sec).
Unless this is some specific "disk exercise", I suggest you do all your "reading and writing" to a byte array and then just write the whole thing out when you're done.
(Depending on the speed and memory of your computer, this may also be a factor in this case; others may not notice the degradation).

Hi Gerry,
I know about the file size, the program was to demonstrate the behaviour, not the actual program I am developing. When the program is done, some of the files that need processing will far exceed available RAM of any windows computer I know (TB size files).
Also, see my reply to Richard above.

dear Sir,
I saw a open source developer for C# name is sharpdevelop.
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/
I want crate a developer with simple functionality. for example the user can create a form and insert only some buttons and text box only. then can create a exe file from it.
so I want can any body can help me on this issue and guide me some help document on this issue?
Best Regards

First, it's not a "developer". It's an IDE, or Integrated Development Environment.
Second, what you ask you're not going to get in a couple of forum posts. Creating a designer for a form is a monumental task.
You can start by reading this[^] and this[^] and this[^].
All of these articles are pretty old. I can't find any new ones and there is no "one place" to find all the information you're going to need to do this.
