First you'd need to decide which UI; you could use WinForms on both platforms, GTK or support both.

I've used Visual Studio to create WinForms to be used with Mono. The WinForm implementation differs a tiny bit from the MS implementation, so you will have to test the results.

I'm trying to add a context menu to Watch (and Local) window to Visual Studio (2017). I was able to add the context menu, however I don't know how to obtain the selected item (expression) from the context menu command code.
Thanks Abyss

Hi,

I have a Console Application which is Scheduled as Scheduled Task, for some reason maybe because of the NetWork issues the Scheduled task is showing running unlimited time and not processing any files or records which are over the network.

Now I want find out in my Console Application if the Task is running and waiting for more than 1 hr send us an Email, can anybody please let me know which approach is better for this, like do we have something in the Windows Scheduler Task to set this setting? Or can I write some code in my Console App to check how long the Task is working for and send an Email or stop it if its too late.

Thanks in advance, any help can be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Abdul Aleem

Sounds like a good fit for a watchdog-application; how about simply getting a list of the running tasks and the CPU-utilization? If you notice any application hogging a CPU, you mail.

Doesn't protect you just against your application from going nuts, but other processes as well. Doesn't need a UI, nor much code Smile | :)

how to remove Flag status from Outlook by c# programming or register edit

22-Jun-17 9:44

I got time to do both Smile | :)

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Process[] processes = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcesses();
            foreach (Process process in processes)
                if (!process.Responding)
                    SendMail(process.ProcessName);

            Console.ReadLine();
        }

        static void SendMail(string who)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(who + " is not responding.");
        }
    }
}

This could be run from the taskscheduler as well, or you may run it in a loop every once in a while. Would depend heavily on what you want from it; you may want to verify that emailing works, and that there is an alternative way to communicate if emailing suddenly fails.

You may want to include other checks, as the Process-class contains more information on the application that is running. Stuff like memory-useage and the debug-output of those Processes[^]. If you decide to guard all applications on hogging cpu and memory, you also have more control over other stuff that may potentially drown out resources for your own application, and effectively an early-warning system for malware Smile | :)

In that case you may want to pass the entire Process-object, instead of just its name like I did. Another sidenote is that the "Responding"-property is used to test whether applications with a GUI are still responsive. You may want to fiddle with the different CPU-time counts, like the TotalProcessorTime. It would probably be more accurate for console-applications.

[SOLVED] Unify Methods; Parameters one or two IEnums<T>

atrus271119-Jun-17 22:02

19-Jun-17 22:02

Hello community,

I'm refactoring a C# application and found 7 (!) methods which do quite the same thing to different parameters. These parameters are LINQ-results.

private void Doit_T(IEnumerable<string> T) {...}
private void Doit_R(IEnumerable<int> R) {...}
private void Doit_C(IEnumerable<int> C) {...}
private void Doit_TR(IEnumerable<string,int> TR) {...}
private void Doit_TC(IEnumerable<string,int> TC) {...}
private void Doit_RC(IEnumerable<int,int> RC) {...}
private void Doit_None() {...}

This sounds like a case for overloading. It would reduce the 7 methods to 5, as there are 5 distinct combinations of parameter types:

private void Doit(IEnumerable<string> T) {...}
private void Doit(IEnumerable<int> R_or_C) {...}
private void Doit(IEnumerable<string,int> TR_or_TC) {...}
private void Doit(IEnumerable<int,int> R_and_C) {...}
private void Doit() {...}

Better than before. But can it get shorter?

As the logics within these methods are quite, but not totally identical, I'd like to unify these methods to just one which "senses" the 7 cases (or gets them passed via a string like "RC" or "T"). The catch is the number and type of arguments of this unified method:
0, 1 or 2 arguments --> optional arguments via default values needed.
different IEnumerable-types --> Generic Approach using IEnumerable<t>.

I lack experience on combining those two needs. What could a "unified" method signature look like?

Thanks
Atrus

There is no IEnumerable<T1, T2> interface in the framework. Did you mean IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue>>?

atrus2711 wrote:

Without knowing what the methods are doing, that's almost impossible to answer. The obvious suggestion would be:

private void Doit<T>(IEnumerable<T> values) { ... }

That may or may not work, depending on the differences between the methods, and what you mean by IEnumerable<T1, T2>.

my fault, my explanation was too compressed...

Take this excerpt of method Doit_R. It isolates the distinct values of a single column:

var result = SomeList.Select(c => c.IntegerField).Distinct();

Here, result is an IEnumerable<int>.

Doit_RC gathers distinct values of two columns, both ints:

var result = SomeList.Select(c => new { c.IntegerField1, c.IntegerField2}).Distinct();

Here, result is an IEnumerable of an anonymous type, consisting of two ints.

Doit_TR gathers distinct values of two columns, a string and an int:

var result = SomeList.Select(c => new { c.StringField, c.IntegerField}).Distinct();

Here, result is an IEnumerable of an anonymous type, consisting of a string and an int.

A unified method should be able to deal with all of these IEnumerables.
How could this be done?
Thanks Smile | :)

Something like this?

private void DoIt<TSource, TResult>(IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TResult> selector, IEqualityComparer<TResult> comparer = null)
{
    ...
    var result = source.Select(selector).Distinct(comparer);
    ...
}

DoIt(SomeList, c => c.IntegerField);
DoIt(SomeList, c => new { c.IntegerField1, c.IntegerField2 });
DoIt(SomeList, c => new { c.StringField, c.IntegerField });
