oh, hello dear Rage Wink | ;)

ok, i was a bit too hard in my post but hey, this is a forum or not ? if this is a forum (what i deeply suspect to be) why one would forward to another the answer he could have been given ? i find exactly the same as asking something on a forum, and ending your post by giving your email....

d'you understand what i mean ?

if the guy cannot come back to the forum and see the answer he was seeking, so maybe he needs someone to handle his fork, take the food in his plate, put into his mouth... (or much... Big Grin | :-D

The first thing I would do is print out an .ini file on your system that fits on a single sheet of paper (for me this was win.ini). Then on a separate sheet of paper, write out what the resulting XML format should look like. Some things you should notice:

Each section in the .ini file should relate to a set of same-named tags in the XML file. For example, if the .ini file had a section named [Mail], then you should expect to have <Mail></Mail> tags in the XML file.

Each key in a given section of the .ini file should relate to a set of same-named tags within the aforementioned tags. For example, if the .ini file had a key named MAPIXVER with a value of 1.0.0.1 in the [Mail] section, then you should expect to have <MAPIXVER>1.0.0.1</MAPIXVER> in the XML file in between the <Mail></Mail> tags.

Make sense?

Hello,

You should choose the method you want depending on your needs. If you want really fast data transfer, you could use UDP, but the data might not arrive completely. If you need the data exact as you send it, TCP could be of some help. It is a little bit slower, but the data arrives just like you send it.

You could also use some form of middleware (CORBA, RMI, ...) but this is more slow than raw socket programming. It is more easy in most cases though.

You'll only learn to make the best choice by experience...

Thanks Blog,

Its very usefull information for me. but can you differentiate socket connection vs pipe,window messageing , RPC. so that i better understand
which is sutable for my applicaion.
I want to develop two application one store some information in data structure and other retrive and delete that information.
I don't want to use database. i want fast processing in it.
can you suggest me which is better.

Regards

Hello,

First, my name is not Blog, it's Bob.. Smile | :)

So you want to process your data fast. What has to be fast? The connection so that your data is transferred quickly? Do you want your application to process the data fast? How did you define "fast"? By this I mean, by what numbers is your application considered fast...

One other thing, where do you store the information. Do you store it in a file or do you keep it in RAM? Does the retrieval app needs to extract the information by itself or does the storing app push the data to the other...

I think that you need to do some more research on what you really want. After you do this, the way you'll need to communicate will become clear. One advice, don't bother too much with performance now, implement one solution and when it isn't fast enough, you can always do better later!

Kind regards,
Bob

no. of telephone line and store all lines information in one data structure
it may be linklist.

second application monitoring agent who is idle for
handling that call. as soon as agent free it retrive call information
which is stored by first application in linklist and route that to agent. and
delete that information from linklist.

i want to store information which is shared by both application. i read about file mapping but i don't want to use file or database.

please help me bob.

Hello,

So if your applications run on the same machine, this solution will work:
Create a DLL which can be used to store and retrieve the information. The first appication stores information and sets a signal or something so that the second application can retrieve the information.

If your applications run on different machines, you should use a middleware of some sort. You can try RMI, DCOM, CORBA, etc..

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Then you must be aware of things like:

DDE
File Mapping

RPC, perhaps.

I advocate using pipes. They can be used for processes on the same machine and on different machines. There is lots of information available about them too. Look for "named pipes."

Get the listing of the files present in the specified directory.

HI friends,

I just want to share this code with you people as when I was in need I could not find it anywhere.

hope it may help you some time.

cheers !
BS.

// This is a part of code to get the listing of all files in the
// specified directory
// Dont forget to add the following line

#include <windows.h>
// and then use the following code in the main() or any function

void getDirectoryListing(void)
{
WIN32_FIND_DATA FindFileData;
HANDLE hFind;

// Path of the file to find. It can contain wild card characters(* or ? )also
char folderName[] = "e:\\someFolderName\\*.*";

hFind = FindFirstFile(folderName, &FindFileData);

if (hFind == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
cerr<<"\nFolder is empty";

}
else
{
cerr<<"\n"<

That makes me wonder where it was that you were looking. Your code snippet is one of the most common pieces found on the Net.
