Simply use the Substract in vb.net instead of the minus (-) operator.
d1 - d2 -> d1.Subtract(d2)

E.F. Nijboer 9-Jun-17 16:09pm View

No, sorry. Maybe post a new question here on codeproject with some code to help explain the problem.

E.F. Nijboer 23-Jan-17 18:30pm View

Pretty old post, but happy it could still help you out :D

Please edit the question and add some markup for your code. Also, add the the error message the compiler gives you and highlight the line where the error occurs.

E.F. Nijboer 15-Jul-16 17:19pm View

Make sure the platform of both vb.net and c# projects match (so they have matching language runtimes). Also check if they still default to "anycpu". Also, not sure the ByVal might cause the problem. Maybe try it without to see if it has any effect.

Best solution for controlling the date/clock is to use a DateTimeProvider instead of DateTime.Now directly. That way you would normally have it return the current date and time but for tests you have complete control over it.

E.F. Nijboer 29-Jun-16 18:11pm View

Might indeed be the case but sadly unable to confirm. You should be able to download the deprecated database driver from one of the links anyway and give it a go. Maybe worth a try.

E.F. Nijboer 19-Feb-16 5:38am View

It is no surprise that the longest and most unreadable code line is giving you problems and is almost impossible to debug... Split up to smaller code parts using well named variables and functions and you will most likely find the problem before even needing to run it again. Also, the exception message is quite clear. The value "Reference(" clearly cannot be converted to Double.

E.F. Nijboer 10-Feb-16 9:56am View

In another reply I read about tables with very much data. You should really consider other options like partitioning, which is supported by mysql, sqlserver and many others. Sharding is also supported by both and many others. This is the same concept but involving multiple database servers. Splitting tables manually really is a poor man's solution.

E.F. Nijboer 10-Feb-16 5:29am View

This removes any newline characters that are still in the inputbuffer before calling the getline (because it would otherwise read the getline and be done).

E.F. Nijboer 8-Feb-16 10:45am View

by asking the right question... The title of your question says nothing about your actual question. Also, just run the code to get the answer. Looks like a school assignment so you should just do the work needed and learn something.

By default ReadAllText will try to detect the encoding but fails (probably because it will try to load the text as utf-8). See link for more info.

E.F. Nijboer 4-Feb-16 3:53am View

Then you must read and write the file wioth the corrent encoding. For UTF-8 you need to specify Encoding.UTF8 as parameter both when reading and writing.

I did, so please read check out the link. The code offers a perfect solution. It offers options as install, remove, debug and uninstall. The debug option means it starts the service in a console window! A perfect example of what you are looking for.

Great! Happy to help.

E.F. Nijboer 18-Nov-15 12:56pm View

Ah, I see. I would advise to use a stack. It makes it very easy to keep track of the markers and makes it easy to validate the file. You can use an IndentedTextWriter to produce the formatted output.
I updated the answer with more on how you could process the source list.

E.F. Nijboer 18-Nov-15 9:26am View

I understand. I can see some structure but don't understand where "Anonymous marker" comes from. There is no way I could guess this from the original source. It seems like a closing marker is seen as a separate marker, right? Or is this the desired output? How to determine it should be an Anonymous marker?

Are you sure the same port is always used? (check if the port (and ip) is still http://192.168.1.251:33323 and accessable, using a browser for example)

%1 sounds like it is a missing cmd parameter. In cmd files you can use %1 to reference the first parameter. For example: app.exe param1 -> %1 would be param1. Maybe this gives you an idea of what is going wrong.

E.F. Nijboer 2-Nov-15 3:53am View

Well this is a nice example why functions should have meaningful names!

Maybe you can figure it out by looking up some methods for finding image threshold.

E.F. Nijboer 22-Oct-15 15:45pm View

You are completely correct about the data tier. I have seen projects using EF where a separate DAL was created. Indeed just pass-through code without any added value. (five stars on your comment if I could.)

E.F. Nijboer 22-Oct-15 13:01pm View

hmmm, it has been quite a while back using c++... and now you mention it, you're completely right. It seemed very logical to wrap a value type as a reference for reasons already mentioned. It would be just like boxing/unboxing in Java. But I have to admit I was, well... just wrong. ;-)
I appreciate you didn't give up on me so I learned something today :-D Thanks!

E.F. Nijboer 22-Oct-15 6:26am View

In this case the same point[] data but there is no guarantee. The code can easily change in such a way that they will be overwritten. There is simply no protection. When using AsParallel in the way it is intended, each thread is working with its own data and producing its own resultset. Never any worries and everybody understands what is happening. Relying on side effects is mostly bad, especialy when it is not needed. By the way, side effect means that you have a method that doesn't produce a result by returning it, but updating something it has access to (more like a global variable). Anyone having access to this global variable can update it whenever they like. It easily becomes harder to juggle the possible points where this global thing can be updated. Just something to keep in mind.

E.F. Nijboer 22-Oct-15 6:16am View

I think you're right that I might indeed have mixed up when it comes to usage of restrictions. So, that wasn't a valid argument for wrapping a fundamental type into a reference type. It is only a valid point that wrapping it into a reference type might give some benefit in using it. A number can be retrieved from a vector and you would be able to change the value. The Number object in the vector (referencing the same object) doesn't need to be written back into the vector explicitly. When using int or float directly it would be copied into a variable and you would need to write it back to the vector. Otherwise the vector would still contain the same value. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

E.F. Nijboer 21-Oct-15 18:41pm View

Now that you said I was wrong because templates can use fundamental types I saw that in my answer the "class T" was filtered out. I updated my answer and used html encoding so it is now visible. So what I meant that encapsulating the float in a Number class makes it possible to use them when a template class has this restriction.

E.F. Nijboer 21-Oct-15 16:42pm View

Well, in this case we might assume there won't be a problem. Using the Parallel.For is threading relying on side-effects for writing back values in a shared object. Instead of focussing on the actual task, it must also calculate/determine indexes to where it can write results. Also, if a more complex example would calculate a faulty index, it could overwrite or be overwritten and it would be much harder to find where it went wrong. It is very easy to complicate parallel code this way. Why not split it into separate pieces operating on their own data and returning their results when done? Just keeping the implementation clean without more effort. Anyone having to read your code later will thank you because they don't have to inspect the code on what it is doing and if it does/doesn't violate thread safety. It is much harder to understand for people other than the one who wrote it. So you're right not seeing any problems for now, but because it violates basic threading rules they will be coming soon... and others will have a hard time NOT seeing NO problems.

E.F. Nijboer 21-Oct-15 16:16pm View

Fundamental type would be a better name in the context of C++.

E.F. Nijboer 21-Oct-15 7:18am View

Why not try to run your code first?

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 11:12am View

Well... it depends, because often the Administrator account used is only a local account. Meaning it is no domain account and the database server won't accept it because it can't verify the account with the domain controller.

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 6:32am View

The "user" used to run the website must also have access to the database. You might want to create a new user (app pool) that can be used to run the website under in IIS and has access to your database.

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 6:21am View

Maybe you just told it the other way around by accident, but normally the one posting the data is the client. In this case the client would be Android. It is unlikely that the server can even reach out to the android device because it therefor must have a public IP address. So you probably want a webservice on a service that can be called from an android client so it can post data to the server, right? By the way, if the client (android) needs data from the server it can do this also as a request to the server. If you really need the server to push data to android, you should look into Push notifications.

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 5:36am View

Not a question and reposting won't help.

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 5:35am View

This is just a repost and not a good question. Just google for sources or try somthing yourself. When you try yourself you can come back and ask if you get stuck somewhere.

E.F. Nijboer 20-Oct-15 3:43am View

That's way to much code for a question. You need to pinpoint where the error is happening. Run the app in the emulator with the debugger attached.
By he way. Try it without ps.Show() and pd.Dismiss()

E.F. Nijboer 16-Oct-15 6:07am View

But you need to surround it with another set of quotes for javascript. The ones you have now are for your java code.

E.F. Nijboer 11-Oct-15 16:44pm View

The idea is to simply create a service and also add a normal main method. Compile it to exe so it will be a valid program and can also be used as a service because it has the needed entry point.

E.F. Nijboer 9-Oct-15 8:04am View

So specific for xiaomi note 4g using another browser. Would be hard to solve because you have no control over it. Looks like the api isn't completely following the standards. Maybe you could report this as a bug to them.

E.F. Nijboer 8-Oct-15 9:51am View

I think the solution would be the same idea. To be a service you need to have a SvcMain. By adding a normal Main you also create a console application. You would need to compile it to an application (not a library).

E.F. Nijboer 8-Oct-15 9:43am View

I would seriously advize you to start using descriptive names for variables (also goes for functions and classes. Here encode could mean anything). temp and temp3 are of type int and temp2 is of type string. v and v2 are suddenly there without nobody knowing where they come from or what they are. The function name is not descriptive AT ALL. What should this function even do? How could anyone have known? This code is very hard to read and therefor just bad code. Bad code (as you might have noticed yourself) is very hard to understand and (nearly) impossible to debug. Good coding starts with good naming!

Did you try on another phone? Or other/new emulated phone instance? Maybe it is just the phone you use. All I know is it should ask you what source to use. Also, maybe the camera is used by another app and therefor unavailable (although it would be strange that the video recorder is available when the camera is not). Might also want to try rebooting the phone anyway.

E.F. Nijboer 8-Oct-15 3:48am View

Normally you get to choose between video, camera or choose existing. Maybe you choose a default input method and maybe that could be the reason you don't get a choice anymore.

E.F. Nijboer 7-Oct-15 3:46am View

But then the file must be in the same directory as the running program or it must be able to find it in one of the directories in the PATH variable.

If it is just the layout page, as you say in the title, it isn't worth the trouble merging the projects in a single solution. How often does the layout change? Is normal communication impossible in the team?

No, that is also not possible and you already have access to the variables you declared earlier. If you want to iterate over the items you could consider using an array for example.

FileStream and StreamReader are actually kind of a design flaw in c#.net. A FileStream is an actual stream but the StreamReader is not. It is a confusing mix of dependencies and the designers of the .net framework admitted that it seemed usefull at the time but didn't work out as they had hoped. So keep that in mind when looking for a way to convet it.

Lets say you have a service called svc with methods a(), b() and c(). Now you want to add a new method d() but you cannot add it directly because you don't have the source of svc? A solution to this problem is to create a decorator service, called svc2. You add the methods a(), b() and c() to your svc2 and when called you redirect the call directly to svc (and the return value from svc back to the client). in svc2 you can now also expose your new method d() with your own implementation. Now svc2 is a decorator for svc, as it enhances the original svc with all the existing stuff and also adding new stuff. Also google for decorator pattern.

asp.net mvc is a server technology and serves pages to clients. Those clients view those pages in the browser. In the client browser you can't run c#, there is only javascript. So your limited in what you can do. My guess would be that the solution below is the best option you have. Other options would require plugins to be installed into client browsers.

this is very unclear. What is the actual question?

E.F. Nijboer 28-Jul-15 7:08am View

I can't see the code you work on but if you look at the code in the links I gave you, there is a for loop that will initialize the columns. Is says: DataColumn datecolumn = new DataColumn(column); where the "column" parameter is the column name. The name of that column must be unique, otherwise when the datasource is usaged it cannot reference a column properly. Also, try google to check out what an error means. If it is simply "not working" then nobody can't help you and no code example ever will.

E.F. Nijboer 28-Jul-15 4:29am View

Try naming your columns. You need to create the DataSource dynamically.

E.F. Nijboer 28-Jul-15 4:27am View

I then think your read on the serial port is hanging simply because nothing is received. Maybe try add some logging to figure out where the code is hanging and also try to look for asynchronous examples for reading the serial port.

You now create a new FormDefineWord form each time the user presses F3. You could create this form once and hide it instead of recreating.

E.F. Nijboer 17-Feb-15 9:57am View

But that isn't a timer. The form needs to be completely ready. Other option is to create the form and hide it (instead of recreating it)

As I mentioned in my comment abbove, I think D is also false but for another reason. The answer states: "Before destroying an object, the GC calls its Dispose method.". It does not say the object does implement IDispose and therefor you cannot assume Dispose is called.

E.F. Nijboer 16-Feb-15 12:13pm View

Ah okay, but then the information should be available in the book itself.
But to help you out, I also think the answer is D because this only is true if you actually implement IDisposable.

E.F. Nijboer 16-Feb-15 11:44am View

Looks like homework. This is something you can (or should be able to) figure out yourself. Good luck!

Your comment is very late in the discussion, as this question/answer goes back to 2010. Using TPL might be a good way to go. But this question was more about using more threads than cores when the actual tasks are processor intensive instead of i/o intensive. Even then someone can make the mistake in forcing tpl to use 3 threads and still lose performance. But TPL can help in a great way indeed.

E.F. Nijboer 11-Feb-15 7:07am View

Don't worry about that. Also, ArrayList is untyped and list is more safe and also reccommended. You can use a list in all kinds of situations with all kind of types without the need to convert them back. Much easier and type safe.

You can simply use the concurrentbag for example and add items safely. You could also have a look at the blockingcollection because it has examples how to implement the producer/consumer pattern. It just takes some time to fully understand and get good experience with threading. Simply try the examples shown and go from there. Also, the Sleep method isn't really helpfull in normal concurrent programming. You should avoid it because it is for real low level use only. Maybe one exception is for test purposes to simulate long running tasks. Also, just keep thinking like how it would be in the real world. Sleep won't help with 2 or more people from accessing some resource. Therefore some locking mechanism needed to protect a shared resource. Have a look at the dining philosophers problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dining_philosophers_problem) for example. There are also a lot more examples to find from there.

E.F. Nijboer 26-Jan-15 12:17pm View

Use Concurrent collections instead:

I don't think it is possible and also something that shouldn't be done. Maybe you can try creating an alias for the System namespace.

I recently read "Android Programming: Pushing the Limits [Erik Hellman]" and I would recommend this book as an excellent reference on that. In the final chapter this is all covered. Also the other questions you have are excellent explained in this book (backup, moving to another phone etc...). I'm normally not someone to promote books or anything here but this book is actually quite good on those subjects. It also has some good examples how to use the real-time multiplayer API. This might also interest you I guess. The book is really good in some of these hard subjects.
(As a side note: I'm not affiliated or get anything for promoting this book, just think it could really help you out)

E.F. Nijboer 14-Jan-15 12:11pm View

Ah, you already used the TwoLetterISO. But if the current method works it works :-)

E.F. Nijboer 14-Jan-15 8:22am View

I personally would go with the TwoLetterISORegionName or ThreeLetterISORegionName. Also, even though a server might be configured towards UK/US, they might have certain settings configured more local. Maybe a check on currency could help out for example because they both have a different kind of dollar. Just another idea you might want to consider. It might also be helpfull to get send RegionInfo and CultureInfo from all the servers and compare and analyze them.

No idea exactly what your trying to do but the C root of windows is protected nowadays. You need admin rights to create files there. Try creating a file in a subfolder of your drive (not the windows folder)

E.F. Nijboer 6-Jan-15 7:29am View

A lot of code blocks and not very clear to see what happens when. Try setting a breakpoint and step through it using the debugger. Check the values and parameters in the sqlparamcollection to see what and when it happens.

E.F. Nijboer 17-Dec-14 10:18am View

Correct. But, you need to be carefull with static declared arrays because you could get a stack overflow exception id the array is too big. In that case you need to allocate the array on the heap and... with that comes the responsibility to free it after.

E.F. Nijboer 12-Dec-14 9:17am View

Have you tried anything yourself? Where did you get stuck?

E.F. Nijboer 12-Dec-14 7:29am View

Are you also sure there are no different versions on the machine? If System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.dll can also be found in the GAC or another place the CLR looks, you get an error if it is not exactly the same version.

Would be best to post a new question with the code you have tried. Looks like you invoke at the wrong moment because it should all be in the method that should be invoked.

E.F. Nijboer 29-Nov-14 8:29am View

I'm sorry but you'll have to try yourself first. If you run into any problems you can post a new question with the code of what you have tried and ask for help. I can't just recode it for you, it's not how programming works.

E.F. Nijboer 28-Nov-14 13:32pm View

The code you posted with the question isn't something to handle in a background worker because it interacts with the UI. To call it from a background worker just add the code into a method of the form. Add the InvokeRequired around the code and invoke if needed. There are suitable examples on the msdn page. Have a look at the SetText example. It only has a single parameter but you can easily do the same and add more parameters as needed. Just give it a try ;-)

E.F. Nijboer 27-Nov-14 8:17am View

There isn't much else to do. It could just be an installed program checking for updates on system startup and then shutting down. If you are really suspicious and have some spare time you could reinstall windows as a last resort.

E.F. Nijboer 27-Nov-14 5:37am View

Somebody can only actively spy on you if the program is running. You could check the task manager (ctrl+shift+esc) and choose to view processes of all users omn processes tab. If it is running it should be there.

E.F. Nijboer 27-Nov-14 4:58am View

This is a very unclear question.

Maybe try start -> run -> msconfig and have a look at the startup tab. Be carefull though because you can easily render your system useless if not done with care.

E.F. Nijboer 26-Nov-14 7:19am View

Be aware that this abuses a get request, therefor not secure and has a limit of +/- 2kb (depending on the browser used by the client and the maximum size of the get request accepted by the server).

E.F. Nijboer 25-Nov-14 7:18am View

This sounds like homework and can easily be found using any of the available search engines. This isn't a question for codeproject. What have you tried? Why would you assume advantages? Or why do you suspect disadvantages?

E.F. Nijboer 24-Nov-14 12:41pm View

Mentioning distributions could indeed be somewhat misleading. I didn't have time to elaborate as much as you did ;-)

E.F. Nijboer 24-Nov-14 8:33am View

Use developer tools of chrome or firefox firebug to step through the js code to figure out what is happening.

The problem seems to be the timeout. You would need to setup the serialport again for the 2nd write. You keep it open but the other side stops listening after 70ms, so I would suggest to just reinitialize the connection or change the timeout on the receiving end.

What do you mean with (byte)'!'? Do you want to convert a byte to hex representation?
Try this:

byte b = Convert.ToByte('!');
String hex = b.ToString("x");

Try to check the results first to see if this is what you need. If you just want to add an exclamation (!) there is actually no reason to first convert it to byte at all, just add "!" directly.

It might also be easier to first write one byte at a time because it should matter. Something like:
bw.Write(AsciiControlChars.Escape);
bw.Write('!');
bw.Write('.');
bw.Write(AsciiControlChars.Line');

Does this result in what you want?
