If you're doing INSERTs on a SQL Server from a comma-delimited file, use BCP (Bulk Copy).
It can do up to 100,000 lines/second on a big machine and on desktop machines it processes up to 10,000 lines/second.

This is ambiguous. Appearance in this context could mean the number of times it appears or the way it looks.

Apply the singleton pattern to it. Actually, I'm not too sure whether that is completely wise or not in the context of a form. If your not already aware, a "singleton" is a class that only ever has one instance in existance at any time (some more strickter definitions might even say only one instance ever). This is acomplished by making the constructor private, creating static field of the class type and creating a static method that creates the one and only instance or returns the existing instance. If you need to know more about singletons just ask and I, or someone else, will help you out.

Hi there
In my mdi app i have a child form which has a tabcontrol on it.
there r 2 pages in that tabcontrol
Now how can i load the child form to show
the start page that i want?

You could pass an int to the child form's constructor, and in the constructor set TabControl.SelectedIndex to that int, or do this using the set accessor of a property of your child form, or many other ways. This is a simple object-oriented design (heck, even procedural designs would be simple).

Hi,
I am very familiar with DCOM and its inner-workings, but this is my first attempt at doing something with C#.
I want to write a windows service in C# that a ASP.NET webapp or C# application can talk to as a client. The client would have to pass several pieces of information to the service and exit. The service will add the request into a queue and then process it as its leisure. The service will post the results of the request to a ftp site for user's to download. So there is nothing syncronous about this operation. The client does not wait around for the results.
Should I be using .NET remoting to talk to the windows service? If so, should the remoted object be a singleton or a single call? Should the service implement its own queue/thread mechanism, or use the built-in thread-pooling to handle the request queue?
Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Yup. It's really straight forward to set up what you want to do.
Kevin Tambascio wrote:

I prefer the singleton mode because I can make multiple calls on the same instance rather than a new instance.
Kevin Tambascio wrote:

As for this, read my article on .NET's built in threadpooling. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/threadtests.asp[^] It's intended to service threads that are mostly asleep and do their thing quickly. I'd probably suggest Stephan Stoub's thread pool manager, which you can download from the article.
Hope that helps!

Marc,
Thanks for your help, I hope you won't mind a few more questions.
I got .NET remoting to work between two .exe's, seems very nice so far. If I create the remote object as a singleton (using multiple clients), will functions in that remote object be called from one thread in some order, or just called all at once? Do I have to synchronize those calls to shared objects?
Also, this service will eventually be called from a web app (ASP.NET) instead of a exe. Will each user's instance of the website be able to create a TcpChannel at the same port number to talk to the remote object, or will each of the client's have to have some knowledge of each other to find a unused port number to create that TcpChannel?
Thanks again,
Kevin

Honestly, I don't have a positive answer for that. However, since each instance gets its own AppDomain, I think that there would be multiple instances. I can't imagine it otherwise, actually. So I think you'll have to deal with synchronization yourself.
Kevin Tambascio wrote:

Hmmm. You mean, on the client side? I don't think you can do that. That's what web services / SOAP is for, I think (again, i'm fuzzy on that).
Kevin Tambascio wrote:

My understanding is yes--the same port number is used. For example, I've been able to connect to my remote object from two different computers on my local network using the same port number. I *believe* that the initial port number is just for saying "hello", and then an unused port number is negotiated. I could be totally wrong though.
Sorry these answers are full of "I'm not sure". If you find out more, It would be great if you could let me know!

Marc,
Found an interesting article here: http://builder.com.com/5100-6389-5034970.html
Seems like I can use .NET remoting. The webserver and windows service will be on the same machine. So I can technically use either, but performance will be better with straight remoting. In the future, I could also create a .NET client app that people could run from behind firewalls and use SOAP/Web Service, but that is down the road. I think I'm going to write some code to try and access my service from a web page and see how far I can get.
Thanks for your help,
Kevin

Hi all,
I'm working with Shellnotifications...
(http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/shellnotifications.asp?target=Shellnotifications)
I want to read out the InternetExplorer History Notifications.
I've changed the Register Event to CSIDL_HISTORY but it didn't work correctly.
If I click on an IE link, nothing happens.
I have seen it working in a vb project.
(http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?code/shell/shchangenotify.htm)
Somebody got a solution?

Yeah, correctly translate the VB code or ask in the forum in the Shell Notications article. That's why article forums are provided.
While language syntax may be different, the InternetExplorer out-of-process server is a COM automation server and can be accessed the same by any COM-compatible framework, like the .NET Framework. It will work if you define everything correctly (such as P/Invoking any required functions, declaring constants, etc.).

How can i animate listView items icons???
ImageAnimator has no affect on them.
|
|
|
|
|
The List View common control - which the ListView Windows Forms control encapsulates, does not support animation (and why should it?). If you want to animate these, you'll have to extend ListView, override WndProc, and handle all the item painting (for an icon, for instance) yourself. These notification messages are documented in the Platform SDK under the UI section. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/listview/reflist.asp[^] for more information.

Hi,
string code = "05";
string str;
I want the string str as follows = "05" in that case the double quotes makes part of the sting.
I tried as follows :
str= "\"" + code + "\"";
I receive following (when I stand on str) --> "\"05\""
I tried also :
str = @"""" + code + @"""";
I receive following (when I stand on str) --> "\"05\""
How I can slove this?
Thx,
Jac

Your code is correct, the debugger displays the \-character just for your information 
To see the correct value of "str", use Console.WriteLine(str);

As an off-topic note, do not concatentate strings like that. Any knowledge of characters arrays would tell you that string concatenations are a (m-1)O(2n) operation, where n is the number of characters and m is the number of strings. Strings are immutable and require that a string long enough for the the first two operands be created (which requires parsing the length of each string), and then characters are copied one-by-one into each. Then this repeats for each string.
Instead, use String.Concat for up to 4 strings, or use String.Format, which provides additional formatting facilities. In your case, the following expression would work well:
string str = string.Format("\"{0}\"", code);

Dear all,
I have a big problem with datasets in c#. The problem that I have a huge data size which I have to locate it in the dataset (about 80500 records which joined to 100000 records in other table-master detail dataset-) and when I do that I have a problem with accessing the dataset with this amount of data
I have create a dataset with tow data tables and create a relation between the tow data tables
If any body knows any thing which can help with this problem could you please help me with it?
Thanks a lot

Can't you load only part of data that you need at a time? Or you can use connected way instead of disconnected way, not sure if this has better perfomance.

What is your application doing with all this data? Is it disconnected? (e.g. it grabs a quantity of data then stores it locally while the PC is taken out into the field) Or is it always going to be connected? (e.g. an office computer on a LAN)
For 80K+ rows on one table joined to another in a dataset it a little excessive. If you must pull all this data on to the client then have you considered using a data reader to pull the data across? You won't have the storage issues because the only data being stored is the row being worked on. Of course this will only work for a foward only view of the data.
Have you considered not pulling the data to the client machine at all? Why not use a stored procedure to process the data on the server? That way you reduce network traffic also and since all the processing is done on the database server it should be much faster than processing it on the client.

Dear Colin Angus Mackay,
Thank you for your replay first of all the application needs all this data in the client side for drawing, it is an application which deal with Maps and this data is a map data (vector map).
The problem which I have is somehow strange when I use fill all the data in one dataset I have the problem but when I have tried to divide the data on multiple datasets I had a better performance for the application why? I don't know.. in the tow cases I am using the same connection and the same data adaptor for data filling and I don't think that it is a problem of using data adaptor instead of using data reader, so if you have any other note could you please send it to me and I will be thankful for that
Best Regards

Does matter what it's used for, loading all of it in a DataSet loads the entire data set into memory. Speed should be your last concern.
You don't need to load all of it into memory at once. Even applications like MapPoint don't need to load the entire map (topographical, politcal, whatever) with all its information into memory. Only the view is. Games are designed no differently. Entire worlds (maps) aren't loaded into memory at once. You'd get horrible fps! Besides, your drawing routines can't draw all those rows of data simultaneously - even with SMP.
Read-in your data in chunks - only a few rows at a time. There's no way you can speed-up the look-ups or decrease memory consumption to the point where anything graphical has any decent fps with this many records.
You'd be wise to pick up a book on games programming as well (even though this might not pertain to games). The concept of world/view is what you need. Only draw the data that's visible. There are other books that cover this sort of thing, too, but you'll probably find more books out there about programming games than anything else.
