system.diagnostics.process help - C# Discussion Boards

I am attempting to execute a Surround SCM CLI Command using system.diagnostics.process. The cruisecontrol command to be exact. If I execute the command in command window it works perfectly. If I place and run the command from a batch file it works perfectly. When I execute it using the system.diagnostics.process it does not run, at least not completely. At the end of the command I use “> filename.txt” to dump the results to a text file. Again, it runs great in a command window and from a batch file but not in the C# app. Any ideas?????

<br />
<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"c:\mypath\seapine\surround scm\sscm.exe";<br />
process.StartInfo.Arguments = " cc -d" + timecode + " -r -bMyBranch –pMy/Path -x- -z127.0.0.1:1234 -yUN:PW > FileName.txt";<br />
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;<br />
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;<br />
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;<br />
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;<br />
process.Start();<br />
process.WaitForExit();<br />
<br />

The ">" doesn't work because you redirected the standard output stream away in your Process object.

I reset the redirection properties to false, and I am still getting the same results.

Try setting CreateNoWindow to False, after that, play with the UseShellExecute.

It'll work, but you have to get these settings correct to get it work correctly.

By setting the CreateNoWindow to false, and UseShellExecute to true it ran twice. I changed the arguments property value and it quit working. I changed it back and it still won't work again.

I finally created a method that would create a batch file dynamically and I execute that using the diagnostics process and it works everytime.

Strange....

Thanks!

What do you mean by "not"?

Perhaps the command is executing but you don't know where the file is being created? If so, have you tried specifying a fully qualified filename?

I reset the redirection properties to false, and I also added the working directory folder, and I also used a fully qualified filename but I am still not getting the results in a text file. I ran a search in all folders on the hd and no results. I pieced together the values from the process properties and ran them in a command window, the command executes and the file is created no problems. It just won't run from C#. Atleast the results aren't being redirected to the file.

System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
                process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:\\program files\\seapine\\surround scm";<br />
                process.StartInfo.FileName = "SSCM.EXE;<br />
                process.StartInfo.Arguments = "cc -d" + timecode + " -r -bMyBranch -pMy/Path -x- -zmyIPAndPort -yUser:Password > MyResults.txt";<br />

                process.Start();<br />

Hi all,

I have created a form with a datagridview.
I created a new Class called duplicate Picture that has 4 fields.
2 type String both hold filepaths.
2 type Bitmap that "should" hold the picture at the path set above.

My constructor sets the Bitmap to be the paths as specified.
I look through a file structure and find duplicate images, add them to a List of the class described above, then using CurrencyManager show a list of the path on the DataGridview as well as the image.

I kept getting the little White Square with a red cross in it for the Bitmaps.

So I changed the Properties for the Bitmaps to return a Image class instead, and converted the Bitmap to a Thumbnail, but that just caused more problems.

Am I missing something fundamental here?

Original Class I created -

my app connect to a sql server 2000 db and a I store my data in a decimal data type like this(12.32) ,but when I retrive it in my app it appears (12.32000000)I'd like to solve the problem of the zero with out effecting
the value.

The value is not directly linked to how it appears. The appearence is only the string representation of the value. You can specify how you want the value displayed when you convert it to a string.

How can I draw a finest dot or color a particular pixel on the screen.............. Actually I want to do makeup on a picture and for doing soo I want to draw finest dots...... Can anybuddy help??????????

Pixels are the finest dots

Bitmaps have a method called SetPixel but it is incredibly slow. Any real image manipulation will require unsafe code to be fast and even then it is slow.

Memory Management, and NET 2.0 upgrading

Look at my article on unsafe Grayscale conversion. If you modify my code you should be able to write a simple pixel offset arithmetic to edit only one pixel very quickly.

My image processing project nearing completion is built using VS2003, and intentionally uses a huge amount of memory (100's of data arrays loaded) which does not get fully released until I restart my app process: I can live that for now. I've read the various articles here on memory management, and the main issue appears to be the way the Large Object Pool is (mis)managed by NET 1.1. NET 2.0 apparantly fixes some of this, and XP64 or Vista fixes the rest(?).

So, several questions I can't locate simple answers to.

Can I update VS2003 to build with build with NET 2.0, or do I have to upgrade to VS2005 or later to get NET 2.0? What about NET 3.0? I'd REALLY not like to have to do this at this point.

As I run the app, I can watch the memory usage increase, but what I find odd is the Page File usage also increases. This is on a Core 2 Extreme (quad core) with 4GB of ram. Is this just an effect of the NET 1.1 memory management or what?

I also note that XPsp2 renders the top 750MB of my 4GB ram unusable to (according to MS) allow for "memory mapped I/O devices that MIGHT be installed". Well, I don't have any cards that need this, so is there any way that some of this 750MB of ram can be identified to XP as actually usable?

Thanks for any suggestions...

The 750 megs of unused space is for Memory Mapped IO and makes up a nice week in your Architecture class from the Computer Science degree. It is inherent in all memory mapped systems. (The limit may be different based on the processor and/or bus)

If your code will compile in 2005 (and it should) you can download the express edition or just the sdk and build it using the csc command line utility.

Page File usage is related to virtual memory usage. Memory mismanagement as well as significant use can cause the pf usage to go up.

I understand the use of Memory Mapped IO, and, yes, it was a nice week in my Architecture class back in '86 ... (what was that girl's name again <grin>)

My issue with is that (according to MS) this 750MB was allocated as of XPsp2, and of course is not an issue in XP64 or Vista, as Memory Mapped IO is now (once again) at the top end of a 64 bit address space.

So my question remains: is there any way that this 750MB of Memory Mapped IO space can be reduced if its not required?
