Re: Not sure? Help! Colin Angus Mackay1-Jan-04 22:11 Colin Angus Mackay 1-Jan-04 22:11  Probably the work issues / résumés / certification[^] forum is better... But I'll give you my opinion here anyway. I'd say that if you want to do hardware control systems then C is the language of choice. If you want to do business oriented software then C# or VB.NET are better [if you are staying in the Microsoft world]. C++, in my opinion, is at a juncture. I've written windows applications with it and it is still used to create them, but C# is now better in that respect unless you need to coax the last clock-cycle out of the processor. C++ will be staying for a long time but as more enterprise systems get written in languages like C# then C++ will be relegated to legacy systems, OSes, hardware control systems and anything that requires very tight optimisation (in comparison to C#) Perhaps if you let everyone know what area(s) you wish to go into on leaving university it might help guide a better answer. However, while at university you may find a preference for a particular language. (Some people even like COBOL ) --Colin Mackay-- C# StreamReader blocks ? Luther Baker1-Jan-04 11:26 Luther Baker 1-Jan-04 11:26  I use the following constructors: FileStream str = new sio.FileStream (filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read); m_Stream = new StreamReader (str, true); But when I'm reading a byte at a time (polling in another thread), I can't write to the file I am reading. I am simply opening the file in Notepad - but I get prompted each time I try to save in Notepad and it won't let me save the file my program is reading from. Is this possible? I am implementing unix "tail" and I thought I could just open any file and read from it - without implicitly locking other software from writing to the file. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Luther Re: C# StreamReader blocks ? Colin Angus Mackay1-Jan-04 11:53 Colin Angus Mackay 1-Jan-04 11:53  FileShare.Read says that other processes may read the file. You need to specify FileShare.ReadWrite if other processes are to be able to read and write to the file. --Colin Mackay-- Re: C# StreamReader blocks ?

Currently, I read a byte at a time until no bytes remain, then I sleep for 1000 milli, then I try to read a byte at a time again. I've always disliked manually polling. Is there a more efficient way to architect this implementation? I was looking for a unix "select" style function. Thanks, -Luther Re: C# select equivalent Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 5:12 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 5:12  Are you talking about 'tail' that writes a certain number of lines from the end of a file? First of all, this is open source so you can see how they do it. Second of all, why are you reading a single byte at a time?! You should be using a buffer, a.k.a. byte[] array. Finally, since 'tail' reads lines, you shouldn't be using buffers anyway, unless you want to parse the line endings which are different from OS to OS (and you should take into account all the different line ends like \n, \r\n, etc., to be compatible with *nix's 'tail'). Also, is this for academic purposes, or do you just need a utility to do so? If the latter is true, just download Cygwin[^] and put the bin directory in the %PATH% environment variable. If has many of these handy *nix utilities and it works great. It's also commonly used to easily port other *nix applications to Win32. I don't know how 'tail' works exactly, or rather what is the best way to get the last 10 (default; or user-specified) lines. 'head' would obviously be easier! The best thing I could think about is to write a custom queue that only stores 10 lines (or a custom amount), automatically pushing the first one out when a new line is added. When you reach the end of the file, just print-out the queue. Based on some 'tail'-like source I've seen, this is pretty much the way it works (but I couldn't find the actual 'tail' source and don't have the source tarballs or SRPMs on my linux system).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

For example, as the webserver appends to the log file, I want the new text to appear on the screen. Originally, I was using ReadLine but it seems to drop the first 4 chars of every read. I started Reading a byte at a time to be more explicit. I am currently using the buffer version of Read (as you suggest, I do in fact, need to differentiate unix and win32 newlines). So - I am currently spawning a Thread, echoing the entire file to a TextBox, and then sleeping for 1 second. I then try to Read again. Instead of manually polling the file every second, I was wondering if there was a "select" style call that would BLOCK until some event happens to the file (new text was added to the file). I thought about using ReadBlock, but it seems to return when it reaches the end of the data in the file. I need it to BLOCK if it can't read any more data in - not return. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Or, maybe I'm doing it the correct way already. I'll take a look at an open source impl of tail. Many Thanks, -Luther Re: C# select equivalent Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 9:06 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 9:06  lutherbaker wrote: I'm trying to implement is the continuous monitoring of a file. Look into the FileSystemWatcher component. It won't give you the specific changes, but it will be a good indication that a file has changed and then you can store a pointer and increment that to get the next lines. lutherbaker wrote: Originally, I was using ReadLine but it seems to drop the first 4 chars of every read. What characters are these that are getting skipped? I take it this is just a simple IIS log or something? I've never seen such behavior. lutherbaker wrote: I need it to BLOCK if it can't read any more data in - not return. Perhaps not. The information is written as a unit (i.e., one line) so you can get that and the number of bytes actually read. When the file changes (see above), continue reading the next block at the offset of the original position plus the actual bytes read.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Tailing a simple webserver's log. Sounds like FileSystemWatcher presents a few new options. If I can write a small app to predictably generate that odd ReadLine behavior, I will post it here. Otherwise, I'll just assume I was doing something odd. Thank you again, -LutherB Re: C# select equivalent Luther Baker2-Jan-04 11:14 Luther Baker 2-Jan-04 11:14  Ok, that works even faster and now I don't have to manually deal with threading. As a side note, when using ReadLine, I noticed my problem again. Here's what I did: Open notepad, type a few lines, DO NOT newline, save the file. The tail callback works perfectly. The new text is echoed to the TextBox (I manually insert a new line since ReadLine stripped it.) Type in a few more characters and save again (still, never typing a newline). The tail callback misses the first two chars!! So, I opened cygwin - and got the same behavior!!! As I believe you explained, tail is reading a line at a time. When I don't type a newline and simply save new text into the file - expecting it to be echoed, it doesn't pick up the first two chars (something do to with expectation of \r\n I would guess). If I DO type a newline and then save, the following text is read correctly from the first char. So, that means ReadLine works just fine for what I'm doing - which further simplifies this. Thanks, -Luther One last tidbit, I've implemented native calls to scroll the screen with line appended. Unfortunately, its possible these windows won't have focus when they are tailing files - and it seems that the built in TextBox/RichTextBox must have focus and move manually move the caret and then must scroll to the caret. Awfully cumbersome. I've wrapped the calls in a class, but they are similar to this: public readonly uint EM_LINESCROLL = 0x00B6; public readonly uint EM_GETFIRSTVISIBLELINE = 0x00CE; public readonly uint EM_GETLINECOUNT = 0x00BA; [DllImport("User32.dll")] public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, uint wParam, uint lparam); private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { int line = SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETFIRSTVISIBLELINE, 0, 0); int linecount = SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, EM_GETLINECOUNT, 0, 0); SendMessage(richTextBox1.Handle, EM_LINESCROLL, 0, (uint)(linecount - line - 2)); } Oddly, TextBox scrolls one line at at time. RichTextBox scrolls a page at a time ... unusable for what I'm doing. internet dial heba_zien1-Jan-04 11:09 heba_zien 1-Jan-04 11:09  iam making a program in c# to dial to net, i use visual c++ & winAPI like Internetdial() to connect with default connection and numbers from database,but i have a problem internetDial force aform that making a connection the problem that this form sometimes appear and others no action happened so it make my code unuseful please any help Re: internet dial Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 4:50 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 4:50  This again! Didn't I already tell you that it's obvious to everyone here that we either can't or don't want to help you? RTFM! Read the docs! Lookup InternetDial in the MSDN Library and sync the TOC to find what other methods are available. Remember that part of R&D is Research - so figure it out. That's how I found the function InternetDial that I originally gave you. Becoming familar with the SDKs helps to have some idea of what you're looking for. If you're having problems with the form that is supposed to come up upon dialing, this could be a thread issue. Do not open forms on separate threads that are not the main UI thread - the thread on which the application was started.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

You can import your tables and datas from SQL into ACCESS with IMPORT AND EXPORT DATA WIZARD. Access only have one file so it is easy to back up from it or move it from different machines.

The first is true serialization and can handle cirucular references, as well as be easily controlled by implementing ISerializable. All that is required to serialize a Type is attribute it with the SerializableAttribute (put [Serializable] on the class definition). See the .NET Framework SDK documentation for more details, or search this site for plenty of examples (or google). If a Type isn't serializable and you can't / don't want to extend it and attribute it / customize serialization, you can use an ISerializationSurrogate to serialization the Type. You can also fix-up data after serialization is completely by having your object implement IDeserializationCallback. You can serializate to XML (SOAP) or binary with the default formatters. More might exist, or you can (though not recommended, especially without knowing the internals of serialization) implement your own formatter. XML Serialization, in contrast, using simple attributes and serialization to XML the way you define, unlike SOAP serialization above that would be pretty much unreadable to most people. XML serialization is limited however. You're not technically supposed to be able to control it as much, but you can implement the undocumented IXmlSerializable interface to serialization Types without XML Serialization attributes. This can serialize "prettier" documents, but doesn't have near the capabilities (like handling cirucular references).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
