I have a linq query which loads approx. 1000 lines into a variable, during that process I want to display a progressbar, not necessarily stating the percentage, can be marquee style, doesnt matter.
This progressbar is on a modal form to precent the user from interacting with the app for the time the query's running.

I would like to implement a mulithtreaded crawler using the single thread crawler code I have now. Basically I read the urls from a text file, take each one and crawl and parse it. I know how thread basics of creating a thread and assigning a process to it but not too sure how to implement in the following way:
I need at least 3 threads and need to assign a url to each thread from a list of urls, and then each needs to go and fetch it and parse it before adding contents to a database. [Code] Now the code maynot make sense but what I need to do is add a unique url to each thread to go process.
I am making a program that can backup files and folders, i cant seem to get my progressbar to show correctly, is there a way (without showing the default windows copying progressbar) to get the total MB of all files and sub folders in a directory and then make a progressbar have max = MB and how to step this progressbar?If it is not worth it, it is not fun - you say programmers are boring but i say they are worth it.
View 5 RepliesI have a requirement for a timer that has the following behaviour:
Millisecond accuracy I want the tick event handler to only be called once the current tick handler has completed (much like the winforms timer)I want exceptions on the main UI thread not to be swallowed up by the thread timer so this requires Invoke/Send instead of BeginInvoke/PostI've played around with CreateTimerQueueTimer and had some success but at the same time had problems with code reentrance and/or locks when deleting the timer.
I decided to create my own timer so that I could get a better idea of what is going on under the hood so that I can fix the locking and reentrance problems. My code seems to work fine leading me to believe that I may as well use it. Does it look sound? I've put in a check if the timer is deleted to make sure that the deletion is complete before the timer can be created again. Does that look ok?
Note: I should say that I call timeBeginPeriod(1) and timeEndPeriod(1) inorder to achieve the millisecond accuracy.(The following code is converted from vb.net to c#, so apologies for any missed mess-ups}
ETA: I've found a problem with it. If the timer is running at an interval of 1 millisecond, and I call, say, Change(300), it locks up @ while (this.DeleteRequest). This must be because the TimerLoop is in the this.CallbackDelegate.Invoke(null) call.

I decided to get my head back into VB. My question is ; how to I correctly implement a Call procedure? I cannot seem to find a simple example through google.
for instance :
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim selectString As String = Nothing
[Code].....
Suppose I have the following construct:
Public Sub SomeMethod()
Try
doSomething()
Catch ex as Exception
[code]...
And I would like to write handleException(ex). Suppose my class has different options of handling events:
Public Enum ExceptionHandlingType
DisplayInMessageBox 'Display in msgbox
ThrowToCaller 'Raise the error to the caller routine
[code]...
Below is my attempt at writing "handleException". It seems no matter what I do, if the object was set with Exception mode of "ThrowToCaller" then the stack trace gets all messed up when I use handleException(). How can I just have a clean stack trace generated when the option is "ThrowToCaller" (every other option seems like it is working fine)
Public Sub handleException(ex as Exception)
Select Case mExceptionHandling
Case ExceptionHandlingType.DisplayInMessageBox
MsgBox(ex.Message)

I know that LINQ queries are deferred and only executed when the query is enumerated, but I'm having trouble figuring out exactly when that happens.Certainly in a For Each loop, the query would be enumerated.What's the rule of thumb to follow? I don't want to accidentally enumerate over my query twice if it's a huge result.
For example, does System.Linq.Enumerable.First enumerate over the whole query? I ask for performance reasons. I want to pass a LINQ result set to an ASP.NET MVC view, and I also want to pass the First element separately. Enumerating over the results twice would be painful.It would be great to turn on some kind of flag that alerts me each time a LINQ query is enumerated. That way I could catch scenarios when I accidentally enumerate twice.
I use the following statement to position which row to update;
Dim salonToUpdate = (From r In db.Salons _
Where r.StoreID = storeID _
Select r).Single()
If fileDate = #1/1/1900# OrElse fileDate = Nothing Then
SalonToUpdate.LastDownLoadDate = TableDate
[Code] .....
I've double checked to make sure none of the dates are invalid or null, but when the bolded statement executes, the following sql runs through the trace:
exec sp_executesql N'UPDATE [dbo].[Salons]
SET [LastDownLoadDate] = @p0
WHERE 0 = 1',N'@p0 datetime',@p0='2008-01-04 00:00:00:000'
Of course it's going to fail if LINQ is passing in where 0=1 every time. Shouldn't it be using some unique row identifier, (in my case, the salon id), to update the specific row?
given this function:
Public Function Search(ByVal StartIndex As Integer, _
ByVal MaxResults As Integer, _
ByVal AccountNumber As String, _
ByVal LastName As String, _

instead of what I expected:
Select count(*) from remitline where lastname = "smith"
What am I doing wrong building up the where clause? I'm using Castle ActiveRecord 2.1

I have to join two main tables, and I need to filter the results by elements in an ASP.NET web form. These filters are created on the fly so I have to use a lot of where extensions to filter the query. I want to execute the query with as optimized SQL as possible.
I am first doing a simple join between TW_Sites and TW_Investigators. Then there are two sub-tables that are involved. TW_InvestigatorToArea and TW_InvestigatorToDisease. While most of the where clauses are working fine, I have found a performance issue that won't be an issue right now, but will be an issue as the table gets bigger.
The arrays DiseaseCategories and DiseaseAreas would be the results of a CheckBoxList result.

How do I add ROW_NUMBER to a LINQ query or Entity? How can I convert this solution to VB.NET?

I'm having trouble porting that last line. I have been unable to locate a VB.NET example. I'm actually not looking for any paging functionality like the example provides, just good old-fashioned Row_Number(Order By X) row index.
I'm binding a DataGridView to a BindingSource to a LINQ IEnumerable, I found that the BindingSource.Find method throws an exception because .Find isn't implemented in IEnumerable (and the BindingSource just passes the call to it's DataSource). I need to use BindingSource.Find to select/highlight a particular row in the DataGridView.
Is there a feasable way to extend my DataContext to support this behavior w/o breaking anything else? I expected to find the code out there already, but I've searched exaustively with no luck.Without it, I cannot "move" the BindingSource using .Position and that's a pretty common use of the BindingSource I think.
I was wandering is it possible to use a query within another query below is the code I am trying to use.

I have been requested to implement a login form into a friend's Visual Basic .NET application. He specifically requested that I should do this using LINQ to compare the input to a table in an Access database. I don't really know why he imposed these restrictions, but who am I to judge? However, the problem is I am not overly familiar with VB .NET, or LINQ.
View 1 RepliesI've been reading a fair bit about the performance of using LINQ rather than using a for each loop and from what I understand using a LINQ query would be a little bit slower but generally worth it for convenience and expressiveness. However I am a bit confused about how much slower it is if you were to use the results of the query in a for loop.
Let's say that I have a set called 'Locations' and a set of objects called 'Items'. Each 'item' can only belong to one 'location'. I want to link items that are under the same location to each other. If I were to do this using a normal 'For Each' loop it would be something like this:
For Each it as Item in Items
If it.Location.equals(Me.Location)
Me.LinkedItems.Add(it)
End If
Next
However if i was to use LINQ it would instead be this:
For Each it as Item in Items.Where(Function(i) i.Location.equals(Me.Location))
Me.LinkedItems.Add(it)
Next
is the second (LINQ) option going to loop once through the entire 'Items' set to complete the query, then loop through the results to add them to the list, resulting in essentially two loops, or will it do the one loop like the first (For Each) option?
Is it possible to do the following?

The above result returns both 'element' nodes however it should only return the first where element/subelement@id=1/subsubelement@id=3 However if results.Ancestors. is used it returns the correct 'subelement' and if that line is not included it returns a single 'subsubelement' whih is also correct I don't understand why when mvoing to the 'element' it returns both (I realise both have a subelement with id=1 but I thought each further query would filter out the presvious results)?

does not work either: Value of type 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of System.Linq.IQueryable(Of String))' cannot be converted to 'System.Collections.Generic.List(Of String)'.
